Coffee Shop in Montrose
Tucked into the heart of Montrose—just steps from eclectic shops, galleries, and murals—Little Dreamer Coffee is more than your typical caffeine stop. It’s a creative space built on vision, flavor, and community.
Founded by veteran barista Matt Toomey, Little Dreamer Coffee opened its doors with one clear mission: to create a neighborhood coffee shop that felt like home. Located in the former Canary Café and Inversion Coffee space at 1953 Montrose Blvd, the shop blends modern design with a relaxed, welcoming vibe that invites you to linger.
A Dream Years in the Making
Matt Toomey’s journey through Houston’s coffee scene began long before Little Dreamer. As a former manager and barista at some of the city's most beloved coffee spots, Matt learned early on the importance of consistent quality and strong community roots. That foundation became the heartbeat of Little Dreamer.
In an interview with CultureMap Houston, Toomey stated:
“I want to create a space where people feel that good energy,” he says. “That’s my schtick. Keep things positive. Keep things flowing. I think it’s evident in the things I do.” CultureMap Houston
This reflects his intention to foster a welcoming environment where patrons can relax, connect, and feel inspired. And that’s exactly what you’ll find. With natural light, cozy corners, and thoughtful touches, it’s a space designed for everything from quiet mornings to casual meetups.
Coffee, but Elevated

The menu at Little Dreamer is a curated mix of espresso classics, creative seasonal drinks, and high-quality teas. At the heart of the business is the coffee itself—beans that Matt Toomey still roasts by hand, including the standout Ozolotepec from Oaxaca and a custom house blend crafted specifically for espresso lovers. Staying true to the craft, Little Dreamer takes it a step further by making all of its syrups and sauces in-house. Among them, the salted butterscotch has quickly become a customer favorite—rich, balanced, and just the right amount of indulgent.
Fan favorites include:
The Lavender Latte – subtly floral with just the right sweetness
Espresso Tonic – crisp, cool, and perfect for Houston heat
Seasonal Specialties like orange-cardamom cold brew and spiced maple cortado
For non-coffee drinkers, their matcha and tea offerings are just as impressive.
Local Love in Every Corner
Little Dreamer proudly collaborates with local vendors and makers, offering pastries from Houston bakers, featuring local artists’ work, and even stocking retail items from nearby creators. You won’t just find great coffee—you’ll discover what’s happening in Houston’s maker scene.
Why Montrose?
Montrose has long been a haven for creatives, artists, and cultural movements, and Little Dreamer fits right in. Its central location makes it easy to stop in on your way to a gallery, after a stroll through Buffalo Bayou Park, or before a show at the nearby MATCH theater.
