A bit of history
Segundo Coffee Lab opened in 2018 as a second location of a local coffee roastery, aiming to bring specialty coffee to Houston's East End. The name 'Segundo' (Spanish for 'second') reflects its role as a follow-up to the original cafe, while the 'lab' concept emphasizes experimentation with brewing techniques.
