Third Gen Coffee owners Marlon and Rachel Reyes opened their shop in Grogan’s Mill in 2017, pursuing a dream of cultivating community through coffee. Both grew up with coffee as part of daily life: Marlon on his family farm in El Zapote in Siguatepeque, Honduras, and Rachel sharing quiet coffee moments with her grandfather in Louisiana.
“My grandfather would make coffee from the stove and add ice cream,” Rachel says. “He really wanted me to love it.”
Opening the shop was a natural extension of their heritage and values. In Honduras, coffee is deeply woven into the culture, and the Reyeses wanted to share that richness with the United States. After moving, they sought a quiet community close to an international airport, making it easy to transport beans from the family farm. Their search eventually brought them to The Woodlands.
They have two popular roasts: The Honduras, their traditional medium roast, and The Grogan's Mill, a darker roast for those who love a bold, rich flavor. While most of their coffee comes directly from the farm, the couple also showcases beans from neighboring Honduran farms, selecting those whose flavors speak to them.
Third Gen Coffee remains true to its mission: to be a "fun place where the barista knows your name,” and where people feel valued, all while enjoying authentic Honduran coffee—straight from the Reyes family farm to your cup.
