    My friends and I visited this cafe after a Saturday morning run. It was relatively busy. 3 drinks were $23. I ordered the iced vanilla latte, and it was just okay. It was overpowered by the milk. Same goes for the matcha. We tried the tacos and empanadas as well, and I really enjoyed the chorizo breakfast taco!!! They give such small cups for sauces though. The empanadas were good, but a bit too doughy near the edges. The beef one was yummy. The empanadas would've tasted better with sauce, but again, they skimped out on those. The customer service was alright. The inside is bright, with ample seating and some games.

    Stop by for a little coffee and croissant after Memorial run. I am glad I did that. Super chill spot with great coffee, yummy pastries and very good looking tacos - the tacos sold out by 9:30 - clearly they must by yummy, hehe. I will be back for sure.

    Specialty coffee shop conveniently located next to Memorial Park. They also serve local pastries from Love Croissants. Food: Iced Vietnamese coffee was solid, but the cortado was just OK. Flavor profile from the espresso beans were fruity, light, and acidic which I don't prefer for espresso (typically more dark chocolate, nutty, etc). Maybe will try a flavored iced latte next time. Ordered the chocolate croissant which, while pricey ($8.50), was indeed very tasty! Flaky, crunchy, and delicate exterior with nice soft interior. I don't regret trying it, and likely will come back to have it again. Vibe: simple industrial chic, good number of seating options. Cool area for sampling the artisans teas they have which look very interesting. Service was great

    Viet iced coffee

    Stopped by here for a quick coffee on a weekend morning. It's located on a small strip plaza with its own parking lot. It was very chill when we walked in, only a few people were inside studying or chatting. It's pretty spacious and clean. Friendly service with two people working behind the counter. I was surprised to see Viet iced coffee on the menu. I wanted something a bit strong but wasn't sure if it was a good idea to order Viet iced coffee. I took the leap of faith and ordered it anyway. If done right, the taste should be rich and creamy. Instead it tasted very watered down and quite bitter even if I mixed it with sugar. I couldn't finished it.

    Quaint little coffee shop. Some counter seating and tables for four. Not much noise isolation or distance so everyone can hear everyone's conversations. Coffee is decent at a normal price.

    brown sugar iced latte

    Iced brown sugar latte - 8/10 - $5.80 Stopped by at this cute coffee shop a while back for a caffeine boost. The barista recommended their seasonal brown sugar flavor. The latte was good but this is one of those coffee shops that have more stronger coffee than sweet so i recommend it for anyone who likes stronger coffee. This spot is also great for studying!

    Very much enjoyed the flat white, thank you barista for the suggestion. Quiet place on Washington Ave., easy parking. Their ceramic mugs are so wonderful, I plan to buy a couple for the office. See below pics of my buddies' elegant coffee servings. If you're bored you can hang out and play tic tac toe.

    Latte to go!

    Yellow Cup = top tier coffee! I'll keep it short and sweet-- Although I never remember to check in, the hubs and I get lattes here weekly and they never disappoint. This is a compliment and speaks to how quickly we're in and out when our order goes in on Clover. (We always order ahead) Yellow Cup also has great, fresh almond croissants. Trust me!

    Cappuccino, 8 oz

    The cappuccino I had here was pretty good. For those who are lactose intolerant or on a diet, they have milk alternatives (oat, almond, soy) available in case whole milk doesn't cut it for you. My order did take longer compared to most coffee shops I've been to. So if you're in a rush to get somewhere after this, consider a different location instead. There also isn't much parking space available. It's competing with other places like Rush Bowls and Finley's Barbershop for parking space. There is a parking garage available, but it seems like this is intended for apartment residents. I just so happened to luck out and find a parking space, but you might not necessarily be so lucky.

    Cinnamon mocha (I think) and the Ham & Jalapeño Quiche.

    I have been making my way to different coffee shops in the Houston area, and I stumbled across The Yellow Cup on the Yelp map. I hadn't seen anything about it on social media so it was my first time hearing of it. The shop itself is easy to find and had ample parking on a weekday midmorning. There is plenty of natural light and various seating options. Wi-Fi is provided, which makes it perfect for a place to catch a cup of coffee and get some work done. I had an iced latte or mocha beverage that was made based on the recommendations of the staff. It was delicious! There were several pastry options and quiche for a quick bite. The restaurant and restrooms were clean and organized. I will definitely be returning in the near future! I can see this being one of my go to coffee spots.

    Chocolate croissant
    Betty C.

    Pretty cute place. I am really in between 3 & 4 stars. I got a vanilla latte and it tasted kind of odd. Not like a normal vanilla latte. The flavoring was off and it just wasn't as good. Which is hard to make a vanilla latte taste different and bad. I also got a chocolate croissant and a ham and cheese croissant for my friend. She also got a drink. The total was $36!!! I'm sorry but that's insane. The croissants are like $10 each wtf!!! The prices are not written anywhere and I guess I should've asked but they are never that expensive anywhere so I'm just so shocked and was kinda angry at how expensive it was I mean the croissant was delicious at least thank god. And the staff was super sweet. The aesthetic is on point as well and they have indoor and outdoor seating which is great. But wow overall no thanks!

    Was looking for a cute coffee shop before my errands and this was perfect. No problem with parking, clean, spacious, friendly staff with great recommendations. Definitely will be back for that tasty banana nut muffin!

    Iced Vanilla Latte
    Alberto M.

    Coffee was good. Seating was okay. I wish the bar stool table was a little taller so it could also be used as a standing table. Enough outlets but not an abundance. Plenty of parking outside. Good news is that it doesn't seem to be overrun with people working so you can easily find a table to work at. There's nice outside seating as well for chatting with a friend or taking a quick call. Bathrooms were clean. Also, I feel like the drink was bigger than I receive at other shops, which is a huge plus. It was overall a good experience. Small downside is that they do close on the earlier side. By the end, they were playing awesome Spanish music classics which I was a big fan of, haha! (Cumbia's mostly).

    They were very busy when we went so I took time time browsing the menu while they caught up, never…read moreever a problem for me! And she was very sweet letting me know she'd be with me soon. I got an iced blueberry lavender latte with oatmilk, delish. Loved seeing their display of syrups, their machine is beautiful and loved the touch of using bottomless portafilters made my barista heart so happy If I could recommend anything to this shop it would be to start using names or numbers to call out orders from the counter. As a customer when you have to watch and listen for your specific order it can make the waiting period a little less enjoyable :/ and then you run into what I did, your coffee gets called, someone got the same thing, and now it's unfortunately up to the barista to tell them (& have to remember) whose it is ‍ Will 100% be returning. Loved the space. Loved the drink. Excited to try the pastries and experience it in a calmer environment!!

It is so nice to work in/meet with friends. To me it feels super balanced, casual and professional at the same time. Not super loud. The customers are mix purpose, you don't feel bad if someone next to you is working/studying. It's part of Bayou Heights Bier Garden, their little coffee shop on the left part of the venue. If there's no seating inside (kinda limited) you're welcome to work on the BHBG patio space which is ample. I more recently come with girlfriends to needlepoint, and catch up. Nothing about their coffee I feel the need to rave about but it's not disgusting and I enjoy it. I used to get the blueberry lavender a lot but I think I burnt myself out on it. Staff are always super nice. Again pastries are amazing, and I want to say they're all made in house. Yummy

It was quite tasty. A bit salty and with some textural elements to it. A big portion, too much for me to eat. N*joy!

    So my husband and I were meeting up with someone from Facebook Market place to make a purchase and…read morethe person gave us this address to meet. Anyway, after meeting them, I decided not to purchase the item...but because we were parked in front of the Chase bank and right next to the Black Walnut, we decided to try it out, since we were both hungry... We walked into the place and were greeted. The person advised that we can sit anywhere that was available and decided to sit near the front area next to their large windows. There's an out door patio area as well, which was also crowded for a Saturday mid morning/early afternoon time frame. So there's 2 ways to order...you can either use the QR Cod that's in the tables or walk up and order with someone at the podium near the kitchen area. They do advertise that they are cashless so just make sure you're aware!! The order went pretty quick and the cashier was very polite and friendly, with this being our first time here. She was able to answer a few of my questions about the menu. And to my surprise they also offer a MILITARY DISCOUNT of 10% - which many other places do not, like KATZ near Bunker Hill. Some made our order and she gave us our drinks (a coffee mug for my coffee order and 2 glasses for water. Since hubby ordered OJ, they brought that over from the bar. The food came out shortly after. I ordered the Avocado toast and Hubs ordered the Texas Breakfast. I totally forgot to take photos and devoured the food once it arrived to our table. Hubs thought that the Texas Breakfast was great and cleared his plate just as quickly as I did. We'd come here again, definitely better quality of food compared to your Dennys or Katz...but the only problem was how you order the food, weather it's ordering through the QR Code or standing in a line to order your food. There were so many servers clearing off empty plates that it almost seemed like a restaurant where someone takes your order...I guess it works for them because the entire time we were there, it was busy. All in all I would definitely come here again to try out their other breakfast and lunch options...not to mention the options of bar drinks and wines!!

The static fit yoga class at Duo Houston with Lesbianland was such a good time. It was outside, the weather cooperated, and the energy was just right. A whole crowd of beautiful women, good music, and a space that felt safe, calm, and fun all at the same time. Morgan Brown led the class and really set the tone. It felt grounding but still had a little spice to it, not boring at all. After class, they had matcha and acai bowls and gave us 15% off, which I love because who doesn't want a little reward after pretending you can plank longer than you actually can. Speaking of... they had a planking contest and somebody held it for over five minutes. I tapped out mentally just watching. Only thing to note, if you want coffee you'll need to walk over to a nearby shop in Autry Park, but it's super close so no complaints there. Overall, great vibes, great people, and definitely a space I'd come back to.

It was okay but not bad. I am curious with the persimmon cold foam. I love eating persimmon and I've never seen this on a menu before. I order the lox toast and it was big but I finished it. It must have been the breastfeeding hunger because I thought for sure I wouldn't finish it. This was delicious! Sitting is not as big as the heights location. There is bench sitting with small tables. Other is other small seating as well. Then towards the back is the pilates action.
