Regular coffee, Valhalla iced Latte, Banana Bread iced Latte
Thomas A.

Very nice coffee shop. The place is great looking and coffee and baked goods are good. The baristas are gery friendly, although the place gets very busy. But its a good place to drink and hangout.

I visited a few times beginning of February 2025 while I was visiting the area. This spot had good reviews, so we decided to visit. First off, the decor and seating are lovely. It's a welcoming space that I'd love to hang out at if I lived in the area. Service was alright, it looked like they were training in a new gal and the rest of staff was taking lunch, so it was understandably a bit slow. The next time was a lot better. I ordered a pistachio latte the first time, and a Dubai chocolate the second time. The only negative things I have to say are I wish I hadn't ordered it with nuts on the top as it really ruined the texture of the drink (totally my fault, but I want to include this so others might considered it), the drink itself was lovely, rich, and a good pistachio flavor. The Dubai chocolate latte I am conflicted about; while it was also a lovely coffee, I didn't really taste a lot of chocolate. The best thing I ordered was this spanakopita-looking pastry (it was unlabeled). It came to me warmed up and had a lovely cheese filling. Next time I'm in the area, I'm ordering this again! I'd also love to come back and just explore the menu. I wish they'd do coffee flights just to try more! Bathrooms are clean. Parking is free.

At first, I came to this spot to grab a drink before I clocked in for my shift at a restaurant in the area. To my surprise, l've become a returning customer since then, and always enjoy my visits to Barbarossa. They have a large selection of quality drinks from their menu, leaving me wanting to try more with each visit. Jamie, Mark, and Diana have provided me exceptional service with each visit and contribute greatly to creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Their consistent attention to detail and warmth elevates the quality of each visit. This creates a sense of community, which makes each experience feel much more personal. It is a large space suitable for doing work or just hanging out. They provide generous seating and free wifi. Review: Iced Pistachio Cappuccino - 9.5 - A seamless blend of the pistachio flavor with the espresso. Not overly sweet, and the pistachio bits provided a good texture difference to the drink. Flat White - 9.2/10 - I've only had about 5 flat whites now, each from different places. You can definitely tell there is a difference in flavor with their specialty roasts. Iced Chocolate Kissed Fall Latte - 8.8 - Espresso was very strong in flavor with prevalent chocolatey notes. A little bit on the sweeter side. P.S. I'd recommend charging electronics beforehand if you plan to stay here for extensive amounts of time, because there is limited availability for seats near outlets (about 6 spots)

San Sebastian Cheesecake , basque cheesecake
Lisa H.

the search continues for a great basque cheesecake (san Sebastian cheesecake) in houston. I was excited to try this one , along with the cherry cream matcha latte. they were both pretty disappointing. the cheesecake, you can definitely tell they did not use mascarpone which is essential for this cheesecake. I make this from scratch all the time which is why i'm looking for a great store/restaurant bought one. the search continues. as for the matcha , as well underwhelming. I usually only get vanilla flavored matchas so I was also excited to try it from the pictures.. it just tasted like milk. maybe it was my fault for the milk I chose, but regardless I should have at least tasted a bit of matcha , cherry or the whip topping, anything but just milk. probably wouldn't stop here again but the items were not terrible, just way below expectations for what they are.

Large space suitable for working/coffee chats with a variety of furniture. Also great selection of pastries available! The famous "Dubai chocolate latte" was ok, it's not my preference and the pistachios on top just make your sips oddly crunchy. Overall would return but don't think I would get the specialty lattes, will stick with the classics next time.

came in for the first time today and the staff were all so kind and friendly! I had a matcha latte and the breakfast tacos and the tacos were to die for!! Came to do some work because I cannot work from home and it was such a nice environment. would recommend!

Assortments of pastries also!

Great coffee with awesome customer service! I have been coming to this location for a fee years now!

Pistachio honey latte - 9.5/10 - $5.99 - I got this half sweet and it was perfectly flavorful and delicious. I loved the crunch added from the pistachios Dubai chocolate oat latte - 8.5/10 - $7.50 - This was really good, also loved the added pistachios in this but it didnt taste as chocolatey as i expected Tried one of the few coffee shops in the Houston area serving halal options and I wish they had a location near me They have halal pastry options and a lot of unique flavors and signature lattes. Theres also a drive-thru! Definitely recommend trying out!

My sister and I enjoy going to different coffee shops to do homework and study, this place had that perfect environment as they have free-wifi. Plenty of tables and even a chess board! My sister tried the Snickers latte which was pretty good and I asked the employee to surprise me with my drink. I received the Pistachio & Honey Latte and I get why it's the most popular drink! She was so sweet and checked in with me after to make sure I liked the drink!

Had some work out in Spring and I took the opportunity to stop in at their location on Gosling Road near the Grand Parkway and decided try out their coffee. I went with the Americano and it was delicious!!! Shout out to Olivia for great coffee and awesome service!!! I can't wait to come back soon!!! I love supporting local coffee businesses!!!

Burnt almond croissant, half the size and hard like rock candy.
Bran D.

This morning I was disappointed... would've given it one star although the place was clean and the two girls were at least friendly. I hardly drink coffee out nowadays although every time I went to the Tomball location, it was worth the occasional splurge. This is the newer location a couple of miles closer to home and while running errands I said, "Why not?!" Took awhile to get my usual pistachio honey latte and croissant at 10 am in the morning although I could see the two baristas behind the counter were busy. Ok, no big deal at all and I had $5 in rewards to use. They provided good service although once I headed out the door, the latte lacked the pistachio flavor I look forward to. Then when I finally got home to eat my almond croissant, it look like it was almost half the size and I realized it was burnt. Took a bite and it left a bitter taste in my mouth and was hard like rock candy. Oh well, I'll just have to stick to the Tomball location from now on ‍ (Note to owner: Your front door is jammed a bit. Other than that, the decor and bathrooms are quite nice and very clean!)

Latte
Paulina M.

The coffee looks nothing like in the pictures (no latte art or anything). Thought this would be closer to a small 3rd gen coffee type spot but felt more like a big corporation/Starbucks type coffee shop. The coffee taste itself wasn't the best I've had, and the foam on the latte was hardly micro foam, it was just a big lump of foam. The baristas seemed overwhelmed even though I went during a calmer part of the day. I also ordered a cheesecake and they completely forgot about that and I didn't get it. $7 wasted on a cheesecake I didn't even get to try. Overall a really bad experience.

Breakfast Bagel Sandwich Vanilla Latte

I loveeeeeee this place The customer service is 10/10. They also sell to buy chocolate and pastries and they close at 8 o'clock which I love most places is closed pretty early. They also have baklava which is always a hit.

Like a jelly donut, the interior is just as sweet as the exterior, likely sweeter. Trendy, natural light stained wood chairs coat the space. Tables and bar seating options are available in abundance, and when I visited Winnie the Pooh was paused on TV...which warrants bonus points in my book. I came for the avocado toast but ended up leaving with a roasted turkey sandwich, everything croissant and matcha...whoops. I stopped myself short of the vanilla cream croissant, but I'll definitely grab one next time. The roasted turkey sandwich (which comes with a side salad) was flavorful and savory but the standout was certainly the everything croissant. Seriously, everyone should carry an everything croissant! The flaky texture and buttery finish is unmatched. Although I would love a cream cheese drizzle or filling, I paired this baby with a little dill cheese at home and it was fire. Beyond that, the customer service was nothing short of perfection and for that alone I'll be back to try more. At this point I've made my way through maybe 5% of the menu...only 95% left to go .

Immediately pleased with the high ceilings and seat availability. I came in around 1 pm and the…read morecrowd was more people who'd be there working remotely, getting work done, etc. Older than college student aged. Around 4 the crowd became more students who were studying or meeting up. It's definitely chattier the later it is, but it's normal and not hectic. I ordered a strawberry matcha, and I'm pleased to have found a new matcha spot to my North Houston cafes. I hope it's consistently good, but for my first time it was nice and better once I mixed in the strawberry purée. I like to work at cafes where there's outlets available. This one mainly has them at the tables around the wall, but still enough to go around if you table hop. There's larger tables outside and inside in the center if you're working with groups of 4. I'm pretty sure there was a book club meeting outside when I was here so people are already tapped in. I'll be back!

We ordered and there are a number of comfortable seating options, however they were either occupied or people were "saving" them with their bags...so we took a seat at a table, no worries. My wife ordered a skinny Vanilla latte, when we received it there was no vanilla, it was not sweet at all, and according to the label it may not have been skinny either. I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit and received a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. We didn't complain, we just went with what we received. Anyway, obviously the orders were incorrect so that was a bit of a bummer. Also, different places attract certain types of clientele and maybe this just isn't the vibe for us. I really like music all the time, especially when I'm in a restaurant type setting. There may have been some but if so, it was too low to hear. The place seems to be doing well and people seem to like it, just wanted to share our experience.

Okay sooo... today was actually the first time I wasn't quite as pleased with my order as I usually…read moream. For context, I am a *creature of habit*. Ever since about my second visit, I've been ordering the exact same drink: a medium Cookie Butter Blondie with caramel and sweet cream foam. It's my drink. In fact, at most locations, as soon as I say "Cookie Butter," they're already finishing the rest of my order for me. I absolutely love that level of familiarity. Today's visit felt a little different though. My drink usually comes out *close-up ready* if you know what I mean. The caramel is giving, the foam is foaming, and everything looks as good as it tastes. This time, that vibe just wasn't there. Service was a bit slower than I'm accustomed to, and when I got my drinks (yes, drinks lol my spouse happened to be heading into work later, so I was bringing a surprise), I was hesitant to ask for a remake. The biggest difference was the caramel and sweet cream foam. I typically ask for extra caramel, and the amount in the cup was noticeably lighter than what I've received on previous visits. The foam was also much thinner than usual. Those two things are honestly what make the drink for me, so the flavor wasn't quite hitting the same way. That being said, one reason I'm not overly upset is because this has *not* been my typical experience. I've ordered this same drink more times than I can count, and it's usually made perfectly. That's exactly why I keep coming back. So I'm chalking this one up as a one-off. Will I be back? Absolutely. For one, I still have money on my gift card. And two, 7 Brew has officially won me over. No shade to Starbucks I spent plenty of years faithfully redeeming stars over there, but somewhere along the way 7Brew became my go-to. Every favorite spot is allowed an off day. I'm betting my next Cookie Butter Blondie will be back to its usual star-player status.
