"This Montrose cult-favorite churns out some seriously perfect roasts from Greenway Coffee’s David Buehrer and his merry band of skilled baristas. Sit down with a creamy flat white while devouring a plate of Vietnamese steak and eggs, plus warm, flaky biscuits." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Blacksmith is synonymous with great coffee in Houston, but it deserves just as much praise for its food menu. Along with serving one of Houston's best biscuits, this Montrose coffeehouse features hearty dishes to kickstart the day, like Vietnamese steak and eggs and a smoked salmon dill scramble. Lunch brings items like arugula and avocado salad, which can be paired with steak or tempeh, and agua frescas made in-house." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Blacksmith in Montrose not only functions like an Inner Loop version of Cheers—if you spend any time anywhere in the city, you will run into someone you know here—it also pumps out some of the best espresso in the city. And with a nonstop rotation of delicious seasonal pastries and solid breakfast plates and sandwiches to fuel your midday marathon email reply session, grabbing coffee at Blacksmith is a no-brainer.

"For decades Mary's stood as a symbol of acceptance and a place to meet like-minded folks in the gay community. In a day and age of a more open mindset, it shuttered its doors. It was repurposed by coffeesmiths David Buehrer and Ecky Prabanto as Blacksmith in 2013. The baristas make a point to ask your name, not just for coffee delivery, but for a friendly connection. Their small kitchen churns out delicious meals, and probably the best BLT we've ever had. The mural on the outside may be gone, but there is an ever-present homage to Mary's on the inside." - Curiosity and Curiosities
"Blacksmith functions as the Montrose coffee shop version of Cheers. If you live anywhere in the Loop, or go out to any restaurants, or if you just met someone for a date last night, there is a high probability you will run into them at Blacksmith. The coffee is excellent, and the food will keep you fueled up to either get work done or steel you for any awkward social encounters. The cafe usually feels like an ice box, so bring a light jacket. While the wifi signal is strong, there is a severe lack of outlets, so get charged up (mentally and emotionally) before you show up." - chelsea thomas
