WAH Coffee is bringing its coffee, matcha and pastry menu to Cypress, with plans to open a new cafe off Greenhouse Road in January 2027. The addition would mark the fast-growing chain's fourth operating location in the Houston area, following cafes in Montrose, Sugar Land and Richmond.
Officials confirmed the Cypress plans to Community Impact, which reported that WAH Coffee currently has three operating locations in the Houston area, according to its website. The new Cypress cafe is planned for 8227 Greenhouse Road, putting it near the busy corridor where Greenhouse Road meets Longenbaugh Road. That intersection is home to the Retail at Greenhouse property, which sits on what its leasing listing describes as a high-traffic crossing, according to hpiproperties.com. The same listing notes the site is 1.3 miles from Cypress Springs High School, a campus with a student count of 2,625.
WAH Coffee's menu leans into coffee, matcha, refreshers and pastries, according to its online menu as cited by the outlet's report. The chain has built a following in part through unusual flavor pairings; its Montrose and Richmond locations are known for drinks like a tiramisu and banana latte, alongside a full kitchen turning out burgers, crispy chicken sandwiches and Korean fried wings, per houston.culturemap.com.
A Cafe Built Around Community Touches
Beyond the drink menu, WAH Coffee locations are designed with community-minded extras, including a library and a dedicated space for regulars to share feedback. The company aims to create a welcoming cafe rooted in its community, and its own site describes the mission as bringing people together through intentional hospitality, comforting drinks and meaningful connection, according to wahcoffee.com. The same site notes customers can order online for delivery, takeout or dine-in pickup, a convenience the chain has carried across its existing cafes.
WAH Coffee's first cafe opened at 8818 Harlem Road in March 2025, about 24 miles outside Houston, according to the Chron's reporting. The company has moved quickly since then, taking over a shuttered Starbucks location at 3407 Montrose Boulevard, with that cafe expected to open by mid-March 2026 and planned to run from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. most nights, with hours stretching to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, per the Chron's account.
Sugar Land Expansion Set the Pattern
The Montrose opening came alongside plans for further growth: Chron reported that WAH Coffee intended to open in Sugar Land by the end of 2026 and in Manvel by early 2027, though official opening dates had not been announced at that time. The Sugar Land cafe, at 6560 Greatwood Parkway, Suite 100, became the company's third Houston-area location and first in Sugar Land, joining the spots in Montrose and Richmond, according to the Houston Press. Its grand opening was set for August 1, the same outlet reported.
That Sugar Land location offers coffee, matcha and chai, along with refreshers and coffee beans, plus food items such as sandwiches, burgers, bagels, avocado toast and waffles, according to Community Impact's coverage of the Sugar Land debut. The Cypress cafe appears to follow that same template of coffee, matcha and a hearty food menu, though specific Cypress hours, seating and menu details have not been detailed in reporting so far.
