Escape the cold and get things done at one of Montrose’s five most charming (and warm) coffee shops.
We have it pretty nice in Houston as far as winters go. It could be 78 and sunny one minute, then rainy and a little dreary the next. But with most of the nation under snowfall we should be thanking our lucky stars our version of the cold apocalypse means just dipping under 40 degrees for a spell. Until the Polar Vortex ends its reign over Houston this week, stop by these cozy coffee shops in Montrose for a warm respite.
