It’s finally getting coooold outside in Houston. So, where should you go to warm up and feel cozy as the temperatures drop? I have some suggestions for you!
The Coziest Coffee Shop
When it gets colder outside, there’s something soothing about spending time at Agora in Montrose. Inside this popular coffee shop, it almost feels like you’re sitting inside someone’s living room. Relax with a book on one of their couches. Play a board game with some friends. Of course, make sure to grab a hot chocolate, house coffee, or a hot tea to warm up.

The Coziest Movie Theater
Take a trip out to Alamo Drafthouse inside La Centerra. This Katy movie theater has delicious food, drinks, and a variety of movies to help you escape the cold. As the holiday season approaches, they’re also hosting special movie screenings to get you in the spirit. Plan ahead for a screening of “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” the night before Thanksgiving. I know, I’m already marking my calendar for their screening of one of my favorites “The Holiday” on Dec. 5, which includes champagne.

The Coziest Bar
It’s hard for me to pick just one cozy bar in the city, so you’re getting two! First, check out Double Trouble in Midtown, which offers a full service coffee bar and delicious cocktails. During colder months, they also feature specialized holiday drinks and hot toddies. Julep, an award-winning cocktail bar on Washington Avenue, is also another favorite of mine. During the holidays, the bar is beautifully decorated and offers a specialized cocktail menu.
The Coziest Restaurant
When it gets colder out, I’m usually craving a warm bowl of pasta. There are tons of places around town to get a tasty bowl, but some of my favorites are: Paulie’s, North Italia, or Ostia. Each one offers a variety of pastas and a cozy atmosphere to relax on a cold day.
