My husband and I ordered several different items. Mango smoothie Bacon, egg and cheese croissant Prosciutto, egg and cheese croissant I also had Carmello coffee. The carrot cake was very okay delicious. One of the best I have had from a local cafe in a while All of our food tasted really good. My husband said that he enjoyed the prosciutto, egg and cheese a little better then bacon, egg and cheese was good. Everything tasted like quality and fresh ingredients. This is a small coffee shop with a lot of tables to sit. I saw others working from the cafe along. Most part it was pretty quiet. Everything was clean. We had a nice little visit at Fellini no complaints. read more

If you're looking for a nice cup of coffee or perhaps a sweet treat, and you're in the Rice Village area you should swing by Fellini Caffè This spot is just off the Rice Village beaten path, but close enough to all your favorite boutiques, restaurants, and other shops There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. If you choose outside there is some shade They have all your signature espresso drinks, gelato, and a bunch of Italian (and other) dessert pastries. There is also alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages to choose from The interior is nice and clean. Nothing too fancy, but inviting and plenty of AC. The staff is friendly and helpful Some tips: There is 2hr street parking nearby. You can also walk a few blocks out to Chaucer for additional parking. If you're like me and you love espresso AND gelato, opt for an affogato. You won't be disappointed Cheers!! read more

Cute, classy, simple cafe vibes. Italian inspired cafe with your traditional coffees offering brunch options and gelato! They have a rotating special menu in the front so be sure to take a look at what they have if you want something more snazzy than a cup of coffee! Limited seating inside with even less options close to an outlet so be wary if you are trying to study here for extended hours. Very limited free parking in the area. I ended up paying to park on the street. read more

I got a baklava and it was super dense and sweet. I wanted to try there other pastries but everything was a bit expensive. It has a lot of seating on the inside with plugs which is good for working but it can get a bit loud. The workers were nice and explained the pastries to us well. read more

Dropped by on a Friday night because I needed to use my laptop for about 2 hours. This cafe in Rice Village checked all the boxes during my visit: - Upscale interior, clean tables, and sufficient work space even at the individual tables. There are a variety of seating options including a leather sofa, high table, two seaters, and more. - Mango/peach Fellini Smoothie tasted wonderful. Looks basic on first impression, but the peach adds a unique flavor to the blend. For ~$5, it's quite a filling drink. - Helpful and polite service. I wouldn't have even opted for peach in my smoothie if the worker didn't mention that mixing flavors are free of charge. Additionally, one of the workers brought the smoothie to my table in 5 minutes. Looks like I've found my new study spot in Rice Village. read more

Love this cute little cafe! I typically come here on weekends to get work done and usually surprised by the good availability of seating because it is fairly small inside. Bring a jacket - it's always cold inside. Food and drinks are great but I always get the same thing. Nutella croissant has plenty of Nutella inside and caramello drink is sweet and delicious. I've had a ham and cheese croissant that was equally delicious but usually come here when I have a sweet tooth! (Also whoops at this being in my drafts for YEARS so hoping it's still just as great) read more

Had the ricotta beignet, chocolate truffle, espresso shakerato, and tomato basil soup. All incredible...that soup is better than La Madeleine even! I like sweet coffee so the espresso shakerato was delicious and texture was amazing but I will def ask for maybe a splash of syrup next time (completely a personal preference). But even for a sweet coffee drinker, it was super smooth and had a hint of sweet hazelnut. I sat outdoor and atmosphere in this area is perfect. Lots of paid street parking and free 2 hour street parking. Great find off the main street area. read more

I came to Fellini to get some work done. It had a nice seating. However, they didn't have many outlets to connect my laptop to. I had planned to eat lunch here and within 40 minutes, the store worker asked me if I was planning on eating or just getting work done. Besides this initial encounter, they had a great assortment of bakery items. I tried their pistachio cannoli, which was really good. I also had their chicken pesto sandwich. It was yummy. The ratio of pesto and chicken was good. Also, their side salad was so good! I would come back here for the salad itself. Overall, great place to spend time with friends and family. I loved that they have both savory and sweets! read more

Good Italian pastries but the coffee wasn't stellar. We got the pistachio cannoli - 5/5, perfectly flaky cannoli shell with fresh piped cream Pistachio diplomatica - 4/5, the cream and cake were good and moist but the pastry on top was a little dry Coffees were only okay. The staff was initially pleasant but they got some of our order wrong and argued with us after one thing so we didn't even bother correcting the second time. There are some seating options inside and a little area outside which was nice to sit on a pleasant day. read more

I've been here a couple times as a student and recently as of June 2025 it's been really nice. Baristas are chill and ambiance is pretty casual - a few working professionals but otherwise a decent number of friendly retirees often whom I hear speaking Italian :) Expresso-based drinks are La Tazza so pretty standard and reasonable $3-5 per drinks. Free WiFi and restrooms available a plus too. Not too many seats and outlets but it's not a huge cafe to begin with read more

A very cute Italian cafe in the heart of Rice Village and as can be expected kinda expensive. We were hungry after all the morning walk in Hermann Park and made a big order of Latte with extra shot, Caprese avocado toast, pistachio biscotti, and a fruit tart. Afterall, I had to make up for the 200 calories I burned just now .... Lol We took the little private looking booth inside the cafe, but they do have plenty seating area outside as well. Loved the toast, it's literally avocado on toast, but with the cheese and balsamic vinegar on top, it really came together as a light tasty healthy breakfast The biscotti was ok. Coffee was nice, but I should mention extra hot next time. The tart , hmmm, was Not good. The crust was really hard, there was too much custard that had lost its moisture and was unsavory. Service was fast and they brought out the food to the table. The staff put on a professional behavior which is perfectly acceptable by me. What I loved even more free parking (but limited) in an area which had plenty shade for my precious new car, maybe that time of the day..... whatever, but that felt welcoming. read more

Been here once before years back. Nice to find a cafe that's open late. Wasn't too packed and it was quiet and a good temperature inside which I enjoyed & it made us comfortable to hang out for a while. I just got a flourless chocolate cake and cappuccino. Cake was sooo good and a nice size slice. Cappuccino was below average though and since it's a cafe that's kinda disappointing. My friend said her chai latte tasted like milk as well. Probably will come back as they have some cool affogato and coffee options I'd like to try! read more

This used to be one of my favorite spot in the Rice Village. Yesterday we came here for coffee and desserts after eating at Kasra. The place has not been the same. Slow service and staffs didn't look friendly. We had the puff pastry strawberry and it taste like it had been in the glass window for many days. We ordered some tea and coffee and it took a long time even though it was almost closing time and there were no one at the ordering lines beside us. After this time , I don't think I want to come back anymore Coffee is not great and so the desserts read more

Met up with a friend here to hang out. This place has fantastic vibes. It's clean, fresh, and sharp. It was also not crowded, and it was easy to have a conversation comfortably. I got an affogato al cafe and it was good. They have a ton of gelato choices, and I recommend asking the staff for recommendations. The gelato was a little too sweet for my liking and it's a bit pricy (~$7), but you get 3 full scoops. Overall I had a positive experience here! read more

I didn't know this place was in the area until I drove around and saw reviews for this place, I had to try! After having dinner nearby, my boyfriend and I came here to check out their desserts because I wanted something sweet. They have a good variety of gelato, Italian Coffee, pasteries and even hand filled cannolis! I litearlly wanted to order one of everything If I wasn't already so full from dinner. I ordered an affogato al cafe with stracciatella ice cream and a mini strawberry fruit tart. My boyfriend got a medium cup of pistachio ice cream which was actually alot more than he expected. Everything tasted so good when we got to sit down and enjoy our food. The pistachio ice cream was VERY pistachio, not like blue bell's pistachio but really tasted like the actually pistachio nut. The affogato was also very delicious, some bitterness from the espresso but sweetness from the vanilla and chocolate chips that was sitting in the espresso. The fruit tart was so fresh with cream and strawberry slices and the tart was crispy and flakey. I would definitely come back to get dessert again. The cafe has lots of space to sit and tall tables for groups of friends to sit together, 4-6 or individual studying areas. I think they have an upstairs as well but I didn't go upstairs to take a look but saw a group of kids coming downstairs Definitely will be coming back for more goodies, spend time with friends and enjoy fairly priced pastries! read more

I like Fellini, it's a little modern Italian coffee shop tucked in Rice Village caddy corner from 24Hr fitness. There are an array of pastry goods. The tea and coffee selection is nice. I like that there is ample space to sit and read, particularly a couch in the back that is quiet. My only critique is I wish the place were cleaned a bit more meticulously. I felt like there were dusty corners and areas with obvious signs of wear. If it were cleaner I would come back more, but the staff seems to maybe wipe down the obvious areas and let other spaces go untouched which can add up over time. I can be a little OCD obviously. Otherwise it was a great little coffee shop. read more

WHEN: Monday @ 1pm Not a busy time at all, only a few people studying or meeting at the cafe. It's a cute Italian cafe right in rice village. It was the closest cafe to where I was staying at the apt complex. I walked by it everyday during our nightly strolls. It's a decent size cafe with lots of gelato flavors, Italian pastries and espresso coffees options. SERVICE Friendly service, staff are welcoming. WHAT I ORDERED Caprese avocado toast + egg $9.50 I had high expectations to try this avo toast bc my cousin talked about it a lot. It was kinda mediocre at best. The avocado slices aren't ripped, the whole grain toast was too dry and balsamic vinaigrette didn't so much to it. I added the egg for more protein, the egg was cooked excellent with running egg yolk. I wasn't a fan of the avo toast there. I can make way better avo toast, it was a new type of avo toast to try in a new city. Now I know I won't order it anymore. I recommend trying their other cafe items like lavazza cafe, espressos, Italian pastries or even their gelato. I wish I tried their gelato instead. That's for next time. read more

I came here, I believe, on Tuesday last week, while waiting for the 24 hour fitness to open. The fitness was supposed to open early but they changed to 5:30 pm. I was there around 4 pm. So, instead of going back to the hotel and then driving again, we decided to give this place a shot and maybe get something to eat as well. My partner and I got 2 cups of coffee and a flatbread to share. The place was nice and clean, with lots of sweet items to select. They were tempting. The tables were small but cozy. I got mocha. It was so-so. I didn't get that much of an espresso taste from it. And about the flatbread.... well, I wish we were able to receive it. We waited until almost 5:30.. finished our coffee before that, however, flatbread was not found. I was a little hungry before, but while waiting I got more hungry. After waiting waaay long time we decided to cancel it, which I hated to do it. but we literally waited for an hour. If they told us that it would take that long we would order something else in the first place. Overall, I had a very bad experience with this place. read more

First off, we used to LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. It used to be busy and have life and a vibe that was buzzing, the cases were full of fresh deserts and savory items. That's all gone. It seems like there's a new owner who does not want to spend the money to fill the cases. There are 2 croissants in the left case and it looks sparse and bare. The desserts look old. The staff doesn't care if you're there or not. They offer no extra words such as "thank you", "how can I help", "what can I get you?", nothing. They stare at you while you decide what you want and then just ring it up and then you're supposed to tip them. The lady asked us if it was "for here" but she still put our drinks in to go cups and brought it to our table. This is something I really hate. Cappuccinos are not good in a paper cup, just ask a real italian. Anyway, we live in Austin and this was always one of our stops but I think this is our last time here. If the owners gave up on it, it's time for us to give up on it too. read more

A scene from Italy in the heart of Rice Village, Fellini Cafe's second Houston location is a saccharine space. I have frequented this coffee spot for years but became a weekly regular in the final semester of my Lamar University online Masters program last spring. Fellini merits a mention on my degree, given the Sunday afternoon hours I accrued at the same table writing and polishing assignments before submission. For this Nutella fiend, the Kinder gelato, a staple flavor available most weekends, makes for a perfect two-to-three scoop cup or a marvelous milkshake. I take a small slice of credit for the cafe deciding to offer shakes like its other location in Town and Country. The cheesecake and Creme Brulee are magnificent, as are the fruit tarts and the Diplomat variations. On a sweltering day, a disposable cup brimming with ice water from one of the two clear plastic jugs next to the entrance doors is a bastion of refreshment. The ambiance is delightful with a setting that instantly transports me to a Genoa cafe in 2018 where the most popular specialty was an espresso drink suffused with Nutella, similar to the Espresso Nocciolato Fellini offers via its Lavazza Treats menu. The sweet victuals keep my tastebuds enthralled, but the service has always been the cafe's most addictive feature. I come back because Mike, Monse, Fernanda, and David (I think that's his name) greet me warmly each time and make me feel appreciated and special. Anybody can serve Lavazza beverages, but only Fellini does it with this level of care. Fernanda carefully wielding a petite blow torch to caramelize and crisp the sugar she spreads on the creamy custard makes the Creme Brulee an elevated treat. Houston's sprawling urban metropolis includes many standout coffeehouses. None make me feel cozier or more at home than Fellini. read more

Such a cute & aesthetic place with great customer service! I can totally see myself doing work here The drinks, however, was not good :( We got the ice latte and white chocolate mocha latte. The ice latte tasted like milk with a weird rubbery aftertaste. The white chocolate didn't taste like white chocolate, more like sweet milk. The pastry was hard. read more

I stopped by Fellini for a quick snack mostly upon the insistence of my sister who's a big fan of their fruit tarts. It was a little pricey but looked delicious, so I opted for one as a dessert after lunch. I found the custard filling and fresh fruit delicious, but the crust was very tough. Overall a decent tart if you don't mind a thick/crunchy crust. As for the other offerings, I saw gelato and several pastries that looked pretty tasty. The space is nice for studying with several tables and a water station, and has a good amount of outdoor seating as well. If I'm in the area, I wouldn't mind stopping buy for a sweet treat and study sesh. read more
