Ham & Swiss Cheese Croissant

I've visited other Capital One Cafés before and generally enjoyed the experience, but this particular location could use some improvement--especially when it comes to service. When I approached the counter to place my order, the staff member didn't greet me or offer a friendly opening like "How can I help you?" or "What can I get started for you?" Instead, they just stared, waiting for me to speak. It felt awkward and a bit unwelcoming--basic customer service really goes a long way, even during slower hours. To be fair, someone did greet us when we entered the café, though I'm not sure if it was another staff member or the Capital One Ambassador. One consistent issue I've run into (not just at this location) is that they're frequently out of ingredients for the Honey Lavender Latte, which is frustrating. It's clearly a popular drink, so it's disappointing to find it unavailable--even when arriving early in the day. If it's regularly featured, it should be regularly stocked. That said, the space itself is great--plenty of seating, spacious tables, and private rooms make it ideal for studying or working. It's also relatively quiet, which I appreciate. However, the food options are overpriced and underwhelming. Overall, the café still offers a comfortable environment, but the customer service, inventory consistency, and food offerings could definitely be improved to match the potential of the space.

Very nice place to study and get a coffee! I impressed by how good this coffee place is. They have lots of table, chess games and conference rooms and if you have an account with capital one you get 50% off the beverages and service was very friendly

Some friends visited town and we went to the galleria. They wanted a drink so we went to the capital one cafe. There was a guy giving out coupons for a free drink from the cafe so I tried their matcha latte. I didn't know that it comes unsweetened unless you specify. The staff asked me if I wanted to add any sweeteners but I thought they meant in addition. The matcha latte was kinda mid to me. Adding cane sugar packets couldn't save it.

Summer drinks for the season!

Looking for a comfortable space to relax, refuel, or get some work done? Well, look no further because there's Capital One Cafe inside the Houston Galleria just a few shops down from Apple! This was the perfect recharge for me after some retail therapy. They serve Verve Coffee and a small food menu, with cardholder discounts and specials every now and then. Great thing to know- you don't have to be a cardholder to enjoy the cafe. There are ambassadors there to help answer any questions if you'd please, but other than that they let you stay and do your thing. There are many work spaces/nooks to choose from, some more open than others, and they have free WiFi. This casual cafe always has great drinks to enjoy and cool events including stuff like celebration of summer solstice. They have several seating areas with both booths and tables, good for a solo outing or a small group. I believe you can also book ahead and reserve a space for events in one of their meeting rooms if you're a non-profit, student, or alumni organization. The summer drinks are so refreshing! I've always been a fan of their matcha latte and cold brew, but the summer drinks are so refreshing. I tried the Creamsicle Spritz and the sweetened citrus creme with the sparkling water was thirst quenching. There's also the Citrus Creme Flash Brew and Valencia Shakerato on the special summer menu. I've never had their food items so I cannot attest to that, but do find myself back in this cafe whenever I'm at the mall.

Standard capital one cafe: nice staff and games for kids. Good WiFi and working areas. Just note that because it's in a mall, parking is a hike if you're looking only to go to the cafe. Matcha was great, about $3.50 after the discount. Bathrooms available also.

Vanilla Chai Tea HOT!!!!!

Vanilla Chai Tea HOT!!!!! 10/10 recommended Clean, neat, and spacious! Friendly staff and enviting atmosphere. Offering free cups when you speak to an ambassador (while supplies last).... Great surprise while on a business trip, my favorite Tea shop

A cozy little cafe on the second floor of the Galleria mall, it's located where the Microsoft store used to reside. It is very obviously owned by Capitol One and if you have a Capitol One card and pay with it, you get 50% off your order! That is a pretty good lure, haha... Love the atmosphere and it doesn't get the long lines like other coffee chains I won't mention by name here. I went on a Tuesday night on a whim while passing by and it was quiet with a few seated patrons. There are seats and tables throughout the space and was overall very welcoming and clean. The bank does do some business there but the cafe itself seemed to be the main thing. They do offer a few baked goods along with drinks - tea, coffee, juices/lemonades - of the simpler sort, though they do have seasonal flavors. They exclusively serve Peet's Coffee. I wanted to get the brown sugar matcha drink but their ice maker was having problems so I opted for the chai latte. I got a large, no ice and paid around $7... so not exactly cheap - if you have a Capitol One card, use it! Once I got the drink after a short period of waiting, I noticed they used a powder mix and it wasn't shaken very well. At all. Perhaps because there were no ice cubes to mix with? I could have mixed up some chai latte powder into milk at home as well. Needless to say, I think it's overpriced and mediocre in taste. HOWEVER, it is a nice "little" place and they do have clean restrooms - 2 separate, unisex rooms. I do hope to return and try the matcha I originally had my eye on. There was one lady who was doing it all herself, so kudos to her! But maybe get a blender bottle and shake it in that next time. NOTE: they'll be having a $1 happy hour after Christmas, regardless of whether or not you have a CO card. :)

After a long afternoon of shopping in the Galleria mall we accidentally stumbled upon this gem of a coffee lounge located near the Apple Store. Comfortable chairs, a beautiful setting with a chill vibe is exactly what you need to rest your weary feet. Upon entering this gorgeous coffee lounge, I was immediately struck by the trendy and modern decor. The walls were adorned with unique artwork, and the seating area was comfortable and spacious. Wait until you see the bathrooms. 5 Stars in cleanliness and experience. The real star of the show was the coffee that we ordered. We ordered two iced lattes and was impressed by the barista's attention to detail in producing a smooth, rich latte. Don't know if we were just thirsty and need a caffeine boost but we've had numerous lattes from the Starbucks locations in the mall and never been this impressed. In addition to the delicious latte, the lounge also offered a variety of fresh pastries that looked absolutely mouthwatering. I'll definitely have to come back and try some of the food on my next visit. Overall, I was extremely impressed with the vibe of the Capital One Lounge and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great cup of coffee in a trendy setting. Whether you're looking for a quick pick-me-up or a place to relax and unwind, this lounge is definitely worth checking out. PRO TIP: You don't have to be a Capital One member to visit and hang out in this lounge.

Peet's Coffee! Oh, yeah. Skip the Starbucks' line madness and enjoy better coffee in a nice comfy cafe.
Steph B.

Peet's Coffee, cozy coffee house atmosphere and super kind people. When you are shopping in the Galleria Mall you should skip those crazy lines at that other coffee franchise and enjoy a rich roast presented by friendly barista at the Capital One Cafe

I really love the cozy feel this cafe gives. Although being inside the mall you would expect a bit of noise but it's like entering a noise cancellation room (lol if that makes any sense). The drinks I had were great. Matcha with jelly was a fav. I went on a weekday so I guess I didn't meet a line and it wasn't busy. I hope they're able to keep the clean cozy ambiance. Will definitely stop each time I go to the mall.

You order at the counter and the server will bring the food out to you. We got chicken and waffle & chicken and pancake, French toast with side of scrambled eggs, and an iced lavender latte and English breakfast hot tea. The food & drinks quickly came out, which is always greatly appreciated when dining with kids. The chicken was a generous portion and juicy. The butter had a unique flavor and paired well with the chicken. The pancake and waffle were also big portions. The latte was sweet and well balanced. The manager came around checking on us and was very attentive when I needed to request an extra cup of hot water for our tea. The floral wall decor and light fixture gives such a cozy vibe. Service was top notch and friendly! We definitely will consider coming back soon again.

Portions are large/filling and we felt the food was delicious and a good value for money. When we arrived the line was long and menus were not available so we had to search for the menu on the website to avoid deciding at the counter and holding up the people behind us. After ordering, tables were cleaned consistently and service was friendly. Only feedback about seating was outside parties would take chairs from other tables and leave them with no seating and not all tables we're shaded. The drinks being available at the bar when it is busy and then food being delivered to the table was a bit clunky. I picked up water and utensils for our party before sitting and would have preferred to have to pick everything up at the counter or have everything brought to the table to avoid multiple trips around when the restaurant is busy.

Iced pistachio latte ($7.50) - This latte had a strong pistachio flavor and had almost a buttery feel to it. I really enjoyed it and it was one of the better pistachio lattes that I have tried. Dubai chocolate ($6) - This consisted of a large milk chocolate bar filled with rich pistachio cream and kataifi (crispy shredded phyllo dough). It tasted amazing and much better than most places selling these. Pricing was reasonable. Overall I enjoyed my latte and dessert. The interior has some Yemeni decor and there is quite a bit of seating. The only negative is that I wish they had more sweet and snack offerings.

CoffeeTrend also serves cocktails, which is another neat feature about this place. :)

Case in point - avoid raw seafood, especially where you feel they may not have the best food prep practices.. I'm generally healthy so hopefully I will be fine but I have to warn others. Otherwise, it's a nice place to stop for coffee. I probably won't be back. Would have given one star, but kept it at two because aside from that it has a nice ambiance.

Grinder's Coffee Bar came up and it was right across the street so I made my way over. I arrived around 1 p.m. on a Wednesday. I parked in their small complimentary lot and made my way inside. Ambiance (3.5/5): Grinder's is basically two spots in one. When you walk in, there's a small counter where you place your order. And a handful of seats. From there, you wan walk into a more spacious second room that houses a CBD shop. And more seating along with the bathroom. I sat at a couch in the CBD area. While weed isn't my thing, if you're into both weed and coffee, that makes for a nice one-two punch for you. There isn't a ton of seating, less so than most coffee shops. Luckily, since it was a weekday, I didn't have any trouble. I wonder if that's different on the weekends. They also have free WiFi if you'd like to linger and work or study. Service (2.5/5): The menu is a little confusing because they have a menu on the counter and a menu on the wall with different items. I didn't see that there was a menu on the counter until I was about to place an order. They also have some beverages in a cooler that aren't on either menu. Not the best set up. Service wasn't terribly friendly either. Food (N/A): Since I just had lunch prior, no food for me. They have a small, but appetizing number of pastries and small bites for sale if you get the munchies (pun intended). Drinks (3.5/5): I'm not a coffee drinker so take this with a grain of salt. When I go to a coffee shop, I like coffee shops that still have a nice selection of teas and juices. Grinder's has a small number of teas that can be made either hot or iced. I went with one, iced, and sweetened with agave (for a surcharge). I liked it and the price was reasonable. They also had a mocktail of sorts that was available on their seasonal menu, although like most mocktails, overpriced. While not really my vibe, if you're a CBD person, Grinder's will be right up your alley. It's a unique spot and located in a great part of town.

I could not really taste the pandan but the matcha came across. I asked the barista about their syrups and beans. I learned that most of their syrups are made in house and they get their beans from a family friend. They used to make their own and are thinking about doing it again which is a great sign of a quality shop. For sure a great little place.
