5.ATE Café

This place has absolutely no business being as good as it is but alas! You walk in and ya, it looks like a snack bar inside a rock climbing gym. The food and drinks are really spectacular though! My husband and I come here pretty regularly for dinner. We love the pizzas and burgers. Their lattes of all kinds are yummy. They always have some special or seasonal burger and latte so those are fun to shake things up. And while this might sound crazy, they have a wonderful caprese salad. The staff is also really kind and helpful. And they play rock music that’ll appeal to an elder millennial crowd at the rock climbing gym so that’s a fun soundtrack to a great meal.

What a FANTASTIC place! You dine in the cafe and watch the climbers. The food is spectacular, and everyone is SO GREAT! Our kiddo is a celiac kid, and they have been so careful to make sure everything we order is fully gluten-free. They came out of the kitchen to let us know that the sweet potato fries are not GF, and asked if we wanted to swap our order to regular fries. I mean, nobody cares like that these days!! I know the menu online doesn’t show a gluten-free crust for their pizzas, but they DO offer gluten-free pizza, and burger buns, and whoa are those good!! Count us in as regular customers!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Taking Gym Food to New Heights I’ve been a regular at 5.ATE Café for over two years, and the Climb & Dine event tonight finally pushed me to write this review. My son, our friends, and I tried everything on the menu — and it was all fantastic. The pizza is always a standout, but the special pumpkin and burrata pizza they made for the event was truly unforgettable. Every dish was thoughtful and delicious, from the sliders to the PBJ taco, all served by a team that is always skilled, friendly, and clearly passionate about their craft. 5.ATE Café may be tucked inside a climbing gym, but the food is on a whole different level. Scratch-made sauces, homemade sourdough English muffin buns, and a consistently creative kitchen make this place a real treasure north of Houston. If you’re climbing at inSPIRE or in the area, do yourself a favor and eat here. But honestly, even if you're far away or afraid of heights, it's worth the time and the drive!

I found another hidden gem in Spring! I had the pork banh mi and it was probably the best I've ever had. If you want to take a trip to flavor town, come here. You're welcome 😊

My wife and I were in the area today looking for something to eat and decided to try this restaurant. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. We both ordered, and my food came out first — but it was incorrect. They took it back and brought the right dish about six minutes before my wife’s food arrived. Her meal was perfect with no complaints. However, my sweet potato fries were badly burnt. I tried to pick through them to find pieces that weren’t overcooked, but one fry was so hard on the end that when I bit into it, it actually broke my tooth. I had to go to the restroom to try to compose myself because of the pain. When the staff finally came over and asked what happened, I explained the situation. The only response I received was a quick apology, and they threw my food away “to help me.” There was no real effort to make the situation right. Overall, this was a very poor experience, and I’m currently sitting at the dentist having my tooth repaired because of it. I would not recommend based on how this was handled.
