I hate to leave this review because I've always had great experiences with Barbarossa Coffee,…read moreespecially at their Tomball location. That's exactly why this visit to the Spring location was so disappointing. When I first arrived, there was nobody at the register, which already set the tone for the visit. What should have been a quick stop then turned into over an hour. I ordered a smoothie and breakfast tacos, and even the smoothie took a while to come out. I finished the entire drink before my food even arrived. After about 30 minutes, I checked in with the staff and was told it was due to "miscommunication" and that someone was new, while the person who took my order was in the back on the phone. I had to repeat my order multiple times, specifically asking for no hot sauce and no salad. Despite that, after another 15 minutes, the tacos finally came out incorrect, with both hot sauce and a salad, and they were lukewarm, not hot. To make matters worse, the smoothie itself wasn't properly blended. What stood out most is that they weren't particularly busy, just a light morning crowd. I've been to the Tomball location when it was much busier, and the service there was still fast and attentive, which set a high expectation. Overall, the experience didn't match the premium pricing. I truly hope this location improves, but based on this visit, I wouldn't return to this one.

Although I wouldn't say that they are my absolute favorite place, they are pretty good and are newer to the area. The ice isn't in chunks, which is good, and they do blend pretty well, athough sometimes there is too much on the bottom of the cup and not mixed in. Not a huge deal. The black sugar one is my favorite, and at this point we've tried almost every one. The interior looks modern, and kept clean. My kiddos likes this place, and overall it's a solid place, so we will continue to visit here!

I took my husband, then my son, then my in-laws, then my friend, and then later took food and coffee for my other son. I tell everyone I need to take them here because that's how much I love it.

I visited this new hot pot place on a weekday dinner and found they are open to diners choosing…read moredifferent items at the same table. Some hot pot/bbq places make all diners at a single table order all bbq or all hot pot, or all both....but at least my server allowed it. I chose the bbq and picked short ribs, hipot steak and CAB beef flap for my initial order, along with some of the veggies. By choosing bbq, you have 6 beef choices, as opposed to only 3 on the hot pot menu. If you're a big beef eater....definitely go with the bbq. While waiting for the first round of meats, I made my custom sauce and sampled some of the sushi, avocado salad and chicken wings. The chicken wings were pretty good for an ayce hot pot place. My custom sauce turned out pretty good as well. Unfortunately the sushi and other cold items just missed the mark. The sushi was completely bland. Hi pot steak - definitely thin and full of black pepper, it's ok. Short rib - much better and thick cut CAB beef flap - very thin and not that great Raw oysters - not that great. I ate some grilled (cooked so slow and were more streamed than anything) and some raw...grilled were better I also snagged a few slices of lamb from my table mates hot pot...it was super thin and ok. My 2nd order, I chose the beef bulgogi, CAB chuck roll, pork chop and scallops. Bulgogi - most flavorful meat as it's pre-marinated prior to cooking CAB Chuck roll - similar to chuck flap, just ok and cooks quick Pork chop - large bones throughout, thick cut. This is decent Scallops - so tiny but ok My biggest complaint is they didn't bother to refill my drink. Overall, if I came back, I would focus on the thicker cuts of beef as short ribs and bulgogi were the best meats I had. Ambiance here is ok since they try to make the dining experience fun with modern interior and use of neon lighting. They are currently running a special on their fountain drinks, which are Pepsi products, for $0.99, regularly $2.49. At the end they serve ice cream, and you can choose between 6 different flavors. Just don't go expecting Häagen-Dazs, this is AYCE afterall.

I'm surprised that I don't already have our view of this place…read more I used to come here all the time about 8 years ago, but have slowly stopped going out for coffee as much, but mostly because I'm not usually in this area. And so it was a treat for me to make sounds go back to one of my favorite places. The customer service is as great as I remember it, they still do decaf and sugar free, which is what my order usually is, and they have to order out quickly--and most importantly, it is right. I've had almost all of the drinks on the menu at this point, but my favorite is still the cookie and the caramel. I don't know the name of the girl who it served me today, but she was so great and put a smile on my face-- and reminded me that they do have decaf and sugar free options. I'm going to have to come back more often! Especially since I have a new stamp card now!

The atmosphere was amazing, and they were playing Spanish rock!! If you're not familiar with it, don't worry -- it's chill, not loud or heavy. Think Caifanes or Maná, and if it's not your vibe, you can always bring your own headphones! :D Now, onto the food: as someone who loves matcha, the matcha here was really good!! But the avocado toast is the reason why I'm writing this review. I first visited about three weeks ago, and I still can't stop thinking about it. Not to sound corny, but the flavors literally exploded in my mouth. It wasn't your regular avocado toast, so I was a little scared to try it (especially because of the tomatoes), but after the first bite, I felt like I was about to start levitating. I honestly don't know how to explain what it tasted like, but just know that it was delicious! The only small critique would be that it's a bit on the pricier side, but honestly not by much, and the quality makes it worth it!! Overall, you should totally visit this place at least ONCE in your life!!
