Coffee just hits differently when it’s local and you can’t tell us otherwise. The Cowfee Bean is a local coffee trailer prioritizing simple and fresh ingredients. We have specialty coffee, teas, homemade lemonade, as well as some homemade baked goods.

Our goal is to brighten your day, not only by offering the tired adults some espresso to lift the mood, but kids get free stickers anytime, any day! Not to mention it’s cow-themed, so what’s not to love?!

We are available to book private events, but we also frequent several different neighborhoods throughout Montgomery County. Message us on Instagram or Facebook if you want us to cater for your next event!

Is this Narnia?

Clover House is a great hidden gem if you like antiques! This shop is located right in downtown Conroe with so many great antiques and collectibles. We stop by at times to hunt for some treasures and also grab a drink at Galavants Coffee, which can be found right next to Clover House - Trust us, this is worth the trip over! Check out our experience at Clover House and Galavants on our social.

Those beignets though

Madame Brioche is a new French American restaurant that just opened recently in Conroe. You can find a wide variety of options for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. You can find it either by following the smell of their homemade brioche, or you can go to the Marcel Commons center on 1488. We tried the chicken panini, brioche french toast, and mini beignets and we loved it all!

Great community, great convo

If you are a young adult between the ages of 18 and 27 who might be looking for a community, you’ve gotta check out this Young Adults night at Hooper Chapel. Starting tonight at 6:30 pm, this will be a night where you can meet so many other people in the same stages of life under one roof. There will also be coffee provided by The Cowfee Bean, so we’d love to see y’all there!
