Special concept: worth seeing for what it is
Retrospect Coffee Bar
Houston · Midtown / Third Ward, United States
Why it’s on the route
Retrospect occupies a refurbished 1920s gas station on La Branch Street in Midtown, one of Houston's earliest filling stations and a designated city landmark. A bright orange Slayer espresso machine anchors the bar, pulling shots from local roasts, and a crêpe stand shares the site.
