POV

The POV is my go-to place for coffee and a space to be productive. I love how if you bring your mug for the coffee brew you get 10% off the drink; it gives me a reason to use my coffee mugs now. If you’re not on a budget though, their seasonal menu is absolutely a must-try. The staff are super friendly and approachable. I have gotten to know a few baristas from the time I have been there. The WiFi is also pretty reliable if you’re doing work that requires internet access. Oh, and the food options are always a must-try. My favorites are the croissants and kolaches. Overall, this a place I highly recommend and I always look forward to coming back every time.

Baristas here are so sweet and always willing to give a recommendation. Drinks are consistently good, a little pricey but definitely good. Only critique would be, the music is always too loud and the place is kept super cold, bring a sweater. But no hate to the establishment, love the vibes and aesthetic of getting some work done near the lake.

Parking near POV is always difficult even at 7:30 am on Sunday. Hotel guests want to park on the lake side, leaving no parking for the other businesses. The only dedicated parking is for pickup orders.

The coffee is a little pricey. You have to fight for a seat inside because so many college students in there but that’s not necessarily a bad thing it’s a nice environment to study. They do have a large patio area if you want to sit outside. Note: the outlets by bathrooms in chair area do not work

This shop has a FANTASTIC atmosphere! Really great indoor vibes, with nice big windows and a TON of outside seating! Their only downfall is that their coffee is relatively mediocre. They use Independence Roasting Co out of Brenham, TX. Independence over roasts and basically mutes all of the natural flavors of their coffees in favor of blends similar to those you would find in a grocery store. Again...POV is great, but their coffee needs some work to get to the five star mark!
