Southside Espresso: Sip Your Daily Perk-Me-Up

April 14, 2015 by

It's easy to miss tiny Southside Espresso–it's tucked behind other shops in a Montrose plaza–but regulars say this little coffee house is definitely worth seeking out. Southside Espresso offers everything you need to start your day off right. Order a double shot of espresso, either straight up or mixed with a bit of foamy, steamed milk, then grab a chocolate croissant or blueberry muffin for the road.

Southside Espresso is also a good place to linger if you've got the time. Free Wi-Fi makes it easy to catch up on email or get a bit of work done, while the shop's specialty drinks, like the sweet potato latte or cardamom and clove spiked latte, are ideal for slow, leisurely sipping. A variety of house-made syrups complete the shop's flavor possibilities, and a line-up of beers and wines rounds out the evening possibilities at this hotspot.

Gus Wortham Park Golf Course: Tee Off for a Low Price

March 24, 2015 by

Houston boasts a number of beautiful, well-maintained golf courses, but the Gus Wortham Park Golf Course stands out from the rest. This affordable course costs less than some of the others in the area, but its picturesque view of the Brays Bayou and its professional grade course makes a game here feel like a splurge.

The City of Houston golf operations staff maintains the public course, and its wide-open layout makes it accessible for golfers of all skill levels. There are three consecutive par-five holes on Gus Wortham Park’s front nine, as well as shorter yet more challenging par four holes throughout the rest of the course. The new addition of electric golf carts makes zipping from hole to hole easier than ever before, while renovated bunkers and a full driving range for practicing are only a few of the most recent improvements at the course.

Book a tee time at Gus Wortham Park Golf Course by calling the facility today!

Doshi House Cafe: More Than Your Typical Coffee House

December 23, 2014 by

Doshi House Cafe serves an array of coffee, teas, and vegetarian bites. Regulars at this Houston coffee shop know that it uses only locally roasted Greenway beans and makes its own flavoring syrups in house. Stop by for a quick cup of joe to go, or sit down to savor a foamy cappuccino or cup of hot green tea.

Regulars praise the strong, globally inspired food menu, too, and recommend you pick up some lunch at Doshi House Cafe next time you've got a few minutes to spare. Try the curried vegetable panini, served with muenster on thick-sliced bread, or enjoy a fragrant bowl of coconut Thai soup that comes swimming with rice and greens. The Creole red beans and rice is a house favorite, with its hearty base and spicy broth spooned over the top. Everything at Doshi House is 100 percent vegetarian, too, so you can feel good about getting your RDA of veggies.
