I'm working from home and I suddenly have unreliable WiFi, which means I had to go look around for a coffee place to work at. I admittedly went to Starbucks first but they were PACKED. So I looked up other coffee houses in the area and Fioza popped up so I decided to give them a try. I ended up going there twice in one week around 2 weeks ago. The place has a steady stream of customers - most of whom seem to be regulars - but there were always tables available, even if it wasn't one you wanted. At least when I got there at around 10 in the morning. The ones towards the front are small and are big enough for food and laptop for one. The bigger tables are in the back, enough for 2 laptops and food for 2. They serve breakfast/brunch/lunch foods along with drinks. Of the two days I went, I met with two different workers. First time had Aerosmith playing. Second, some old school music. However, everyone was super nice. I ordered sugary coffee drinks both times and they come in boba style! I later realized they also offer boba (tapioca/pearls) as an option for cold drinks, but I didn't opt in... Though I think I will eventually. All the drinks are solid. My second time, I met up with a friend who tried a.. Cubano? She said it was one of the best she's had! We also got their panini and let me tell you - panini-ized sandwiches are a thousand times better than regular sandwiches. I have a specialized diet (allium free vegetarian) but they happily answered all my questions. I ended up getting the avocado egg and cheese one the first time and built my own the second. They do typically add in Cajun seasoning that I can't have but they just took it out and added in salt and pepper instead. I must say the pepper they use is freshly ground because there's sometimes a kick at various areas of the sandwich. Might just be me, since I opt out of the Cajun seasonings they use. Place was clean, friendly people, great atmosphere/vibe. I'd venture to say this would be my favorite local coffee shop to hang out or work at. My WiFi did miraculously come back the next week, so I haven't been back, but I decided to work there at least once a month to mix things up and support them. I'll be back again!
This is our go to spot for well made coffee drinks and gedunk (snacks). I almost always get a hot cappuccino wit' 2 splendas, wifey gets a frozen blended concoction. They always have tasty desserts and cookies. Check out the cool artwork that's for sale on their walls.
How am I just now finding this place?? Definitely a little hidden treasure in Meyerland - Was looking for a quick coffee & bite to go on a Saturday morning and this place happened to pop up for me as nearby. When I mentioned it was my first time, the barista guided me through the menu and even made helpful recommendations. All of the employees were very warm and welcoming. The space is super cozy with plenty of chairs and tables with a bar area good for studying. Vanilla iced coffee - came in an adorable cup, shaken in a sealed container like boba! Super creamy and full-bodied flavor. #4 Panini with egg, pesto, and goat cheese - came out hot and delicious, still hot even when I enjoyed it at home TLDR: Super close to Meyerland - 5 mins from the HEB. Iced coffee A+, yummy fresh quick brunch, chill, warm vibes. Will definitely be back!
In a city filled with new and trendy coffee shops opening up daily, sweet local consistent gems like Fioza are try hidden treasures. Even though it is in a residential area, the space has an unexpected edge. I have been coming here for years. In the 2010's, I spent countless hours working on papers for graduate school. Now, even though I'm not in walking distance I try to stop by once a month for an iced soy honey latte. The staff is wonderful. Honestly, it has been the same awesome crew for the past several years. I encourage people to stop by. It is a slow burn, but a cherished establishment.
[5 days later update: The Rueben was GOOD. Apparently homemade everything. Quality interior. The sandwich was substantial, especially for a sliced bread sandwich, and the insides were a delicious balance on a warm winter morning. I'm going to have to that again with my raspberry chocolate coffee drink.] They're back in business!! I got concerned that they closed!Drinks and pastries are still lovely sized, artful, and tasty. Ambiance is quiet --my preference. Idk if their busy times have resumed. Still got some 80s interior vibe. That's okay to me because cosmetic renovation is wasteful for the environment. Bathrooms are still clean too.
Came here for a business meeting one afternoon. It's a cute coffee shop that isn't too big, but offers a great place to get some work done as well as good food and drink options. The menu isn't extremely extensive but portions are perfect size. I ordered the Roasted Turkey Panini and it was really good! The turkey was nice and tender and there was a perfect meat to cheese ratio. I'm also not a huge fan of basil pesto so I'm good the taste wasn't too overpowering. I ordered just the panini because sides are a la carte when ordering paninis. This was fine because it was a good size and I was pretty full afterwards. Not sure why but when I paid, my total was a bit over $9. I signed and handed the cashier the receipt. After leaving, I received a notice that my card had been charged more than $11. I drove back and inquired about the extra charge and the cashier explained that I had only been charged for the amount on my receipt which I didn't understand because my card had clearly been charged a different amount. A few days later I received a new message that my card had been charged the correct amount. Not sure if something sketchy was going on or what, so if I come back, I'll definitely just pay cash to eliminate anything like that from happening again. Despite the 'glitch' at the register (yea, that's what we'll call it), 10/10 would recommend.
I've been here maybe three times. Came today and had a California sandwich with side salad and balsam vinaigrette, also had a blondie cookie that was pretty expensive. Strangely when I was eating I kept telling myself something was wrong. Maybe my food was spit in or thrown on the floor, maybe the cheese was moldy, just a bad vibe. The food was good. Looked good. Tasted good, but something was amiss. Needless to say I'm now having intense stomach cramping, I've taken Pepto Bismol x 2 and said my prayers but I'm pretty sure I have food poisoning. I don't know if the kitchen is clean or if the staff used hygienic practices, but I do know I have a weak stomach for foolishness, and my meal felt foolish. Next time I'll save my gut in the hands of chefs and servers I trust. Either way, the food was good as far as taste and visual appeal. Restaurant was full of loud middle schoolers making it difficult to focus on my read but I can't blame the shop for that. Seating was semi-comfortable, small round tables with two small chairs, a long bar with high chairs, and plush booth seating. But next time I'll trust my instincts and skip the panini offerings. Maybe I'll have one of their lattes or teas. Maybe I'll add a few more stars when I feel like my health isn't in limbo.
When I go to a coffee shop, I care more about the atmosphere than I do the drinks because I usually only go to coffee shops to study or to read. I only buy the drink to use the space, so that's what my review will focus on. I went in the evening, and I thought it was the perfect time to go because I loved the mood lighting. The lights were dim and perfect for either a romantic coffee date or a space to focus. In my case, I went to study, and the dim lights made it very conducive for focusing, which I appreciated. The chairs were also fairly comfortable. Briefly commenting on the drinks: I ordered the latte mocha, and thought it was pretty good. This coffee shop seems to lean toward making their drinks sweeter.
My favorite coffee shop to hang out these days is Black Hole, but I find myself coming to Fioza more and more because it's much closer to where I live. The drinks are solid - I've had their chocolate and hazelnut latte which is delicious but probably 5000 calories haha. I've tried their tapioca drinks (which is somewhat random of a menu item), and I have to say I'm not too much of a fan. The consistency of the balls isn't so great - but I'm sure that's probably because not many people order it. Overall the baristas are real friendly too. What I love the most about the place is that there are a plethora of plug sockets for your power hungry devices. The place is quiet and the internet is fast too which is a bonus. A great place to study or surf web.
Of all the coffee places I've been to, this is one of my favorite places to go to study. There's a lot of things I look for in a coffee shop, and this place has it all. They have free wifi which is always needed nowadays since everything is online. Along with that, outlets are always coveted and this place does have a decent amount of outlets against the walls and along the bar area. I also really enjoyed the fact that they have a decent amount of places to sit, and I love that they have different searing styles. You have your normal table and chairs, but then you have higher tables, booth areas, and a bar table area, so it makes you feel comfortable, no matter what type of table you like to sit at. They have nice background music but it's not too loud or too distracting, so that's always nice to have when you study. Food/price: they of course serve coffee, so even if you're not studying and just looking for a place to meet up with someone, this place is just hipster enough to be cool, but quaint enough to take someone there on a date or to hang out. Their coffee is pretty good, very standard, but it's cool that they have frappacinos and smoothies as well. They also serve tea if that's more your cup of tea lol. Their prices are decent and pretty standard. They also serve pastries there and they're freshly made every day. The cool thing is they have a sale on their pastries towards the end of the day because they don't want to serve leftovers or have it go to waste. The large pastries are only $1 and the small ones are $0.50. I do like that they open until a decent time, so you have time to stop there after work or class. There's also parking available!! Albeit, the parking lot isn't very spacious, but I haven't had an issue finding a parking spot. Overall, great place for coffee and an even better place to study.

This is a great spot. Very friendly, warm and inviting. Everything I've ordered here is delicious, drinks and food. I mostly get lattes and snacks. Who over I bring here loves this place as well. Love their loyalty program as well. read more
I had never seen or heard of this coffee shop, but I was visiting a friend in the area, and I happened to notice it The baristas were incredibly friendly, and they got orders out in a timely manner The space is sort of neat, in that the art on the walls are actually for sale. There's plenty of seating, and it's a perfect spot to catch up with a friend, have a coffee date, or to do some remote work They offer all the the classic coffee drinks, their pastries looked very enticing Some tips: The flat white was very delicious, and I would definitely recommend it. If you are wanting a place to just chill for a bit, there's a section with complementary books and board games Cheers!' read more

Loving this place as a new study spot! Pros: - Generally chill ambiance where most people are working on laptops or having conversations - Good number of tables and bar space - Lots of outlets - Reasonably priced drinks that are delicious! Try the chai latte. Yummmm. - Offers REAL FOOD (and baked goods). There's nothing better than a coffee shop that's not a restaurant that still offers real food (hot paninis and soups!). - Good natural lighting - Free WiFi - Lots of parking - Friendly polite staff - Outdoor patio - After 4pm, small pastries = 50 cents; large pastries = $1 Cons: - Most tables are pretty small for two people to share - Pretty busy place that can get loud when lots of people come in at once read more

Cute coffee shop. Parking lot for multiple tenants. A little awkward jaunt up the steps and to the door. I ordered an iced coffee with one sugar free pump of caramel. I never get pumps of anything so it was interesting BUT love the ice, bubble tea type cups, and coffee! I will be back. read more

Great coffee shop in the Meyerland area that's not really that big, but has a nice atmosphere. They have coffee drinks, smoothies, slushies, sandwiches, breads, muffins, scones, brownies and cakes. Their specialty coffee drinks remind me a little of Empire cafe. Artwork on the walls is for sale, like many other coffee shops. I ordered the almond joy iced coffee and a brownie, which was sorta pricy. Check it out if you're in the area. read more

The #1 breakfast panini is THE BOMB! I don't think I've had a better panini in my life - and have lived in New York and Italy. Comes with a side of fruit (blackberries and bananas). Service is friendly and has a cool atmosphere, with artwork, tapestry, and board games. The only thing that detracted from my experience was being unable to connect to the wifi. But other than that, FANTASTIC! read more

A wonderful hidden gem in the Meyerland area serving great cafe fare. My friend and I wanted to try a new place for a lunch date, so we happened to find Fioza through our "cafes" search on Yelp. The establishment is found in a small and quiet shopping strip on Chimney Rock right off of Braeswood, and there's sufficient parking with the low amount of traffic at this strip. Service was friendly and efficient - you order up front, take a number, grab your drinks at the counter, and find a seat. On a Saturday afternoon, it was half-full, but most people seemed to either be having a quiet lunch or working/studying alone. So the two of us grabbed a bar table, and I tried the following items: Green tea dry rubbed roasted chicken panini - 4.0/5.0 - This panini was terrific. It was a huge portion and perfect ratio of juicy chicken, toasty bread, and cheesiness. Although I wished there were some veggies in the panini itself, I was happy that I ordered the side salad along with the panini. Though simple, the salad was a good portion and filled with arugula, spinach, and other fancy leafy greens besides your romaine and iceberg. I topped mine off with the Asian ginger-sesame dressing (which is always a pleaser), but there are a few other dressings/vinaigrettes to choose from. Chai Latte - 4.0/5.0 - I would rank this as the second best chai latte I've had in Houston (after Salento's version). Served in a huge cup, it's rich, milky, full of spice, and not crazy sweet. Cafe Cortado - 4.0/5.0 - If you're into strong coffee, you should order this great drink. Also served in a huge cup, it comes with some latte art to adore over. Panini + side salad + chai latte = $12 = great lunch! I loved the quiet and laidback ambiance of this cafe, and I definitely am a fan of their food and hot bevvies. I'll definitely return to bring my coffee-crazed hubby along! read more

Sitting outside in the sun with my dogs, determined to drink a hot latte even in the 85 degree heat (before the humidity). Fioza is very welcoming inside, very cute and comfortable for working away from home. The (hassle) free wireless is very much appreciated, and they have computers for you to get online if you don't have your own. They make a good cappuccino and iced americano, and my only complaint is that I wish they had more morning breakfast food. I'd settle for a basket of fruit to grab from (although the muffins and turnovers they did have were delicious.) Edited to add- maybe they heard me or I came at a better time of day since then- they now have a basket of apples and bananas, and the fresh warm scones in the morning are delicious! A great (relaxing) place to meet people, get some work done, and enjoy decent coffee. Everyone inside is really friendly too. Recommended by two coffee snobs who try to avoid Starbucks when we can. p.s. Fair-Trade coffee read more
