Stopped in for the first time this morning & was really impressed. Space is sun-filled & spacious. Staff was friendly and provided prompt service. Most of all, my iced Americano was excellent! read more

I love the location of this coffee shop! It's very close to Memorial Park! I ordered a hot Pistachio latte and it was unfortunately pretty lackluster. Tasted more watered down if anything. Also ordered their seasonal muffin which was a pumpkin muffin with a cream cheese core. I wish the seasonal muffin had more cream cheese filling for the core. It was just a small scoop of cream cheese visible from the top. Pretty empty shop for a Saturday morning/noon. The interior is quite aesthetic though and I enjoyed the vibe. They have a patio in the front to enjoy the cooler weather. Limited parking in front which I'm not a fan of. Overall not something I would go out of my way for read more

Cute neighborhood spot to hang out and enjoy some coffee... I like its proximity to Memorial Park. Decent amount of parking up front and a good amount of seating. Has all the standard coffee drinks you'd expect, but nothing particularly unique that's a must try. Their lattes are satisfactory. I tried a lavender latte and was happy with my drink. Wish I had more to say but it's really your typical coffee shop... read more

Friendly baristas and nice calm interior, but nothing particularly noteworthy. I had a black coffee and my toddler was able to hog a table with me while I drank it. Everyone was very friendly to us! I'd need to go back and try their lattes for a fair comparison but the drip coffee was good and the almond croissant I had was yummy, read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

Love their coffee! I've been several times now and each item I've gotten has been good. They have a variety of pastries, breakfast tacos, and empanadas also. Good place to WFH and there is a small patio. read more

Star berry muffin was good. Paired well with my iced latte. "for here" gets you a glass and plates for the muffin. Nice touch. Friendly service. Seems like a good place to work. Parking was a little tough since it's limited. But overall would recommend! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Ordered a green tea "for here." I'm staring at the bar waiting for my drink to be prepared but only noticed orders "to go." After a little while I got up to check on my order to find out that the order was placed in a "to go," cup and had been sitting for a while. I let the impersonal barista boy, Nick, know, that it was supposed to be "for here." He said nothing. Literally, not a word. $5.71 for a cup of tea and this is the type of disregard you can get. Laughable. Will not patronize them again. read more

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). read more

This is a place that popped in my search for a coffee shop on the way to downtown. Loved the fact that it gives good coffee and also had some great food options. A lot of people were recommending tacodeli breakfast tacos. Got the Jess special and was pleasantly filled with eggs, jack cheese and avocado. I also got a coffee and elected to do a French press, since a V60 was not possible. The French press is a slow coffee option for a reason. However it took a little long - my receipt said I ordered it at 9:05 am, but I didn't get it back until about 9:34a. Not a bad thing considering the taste of the coffee was well balanced, lots of fruity l plum and milk chocolate notes. However it worked out since I was staying there that morning. Otherwise the service was friendly and attentive. However the coffee came out quite slowly. Glad to find another great coffee place! read more

Right on Washington Avenue, it's a more modern coffee shop with a friendly staff and quite a bit of options. There's an abundance of flavors, milks, and styles to choose from. Went with the Vanilla latte with 2% milk which hit the spot. Although a bit pricey, my beverage had nice consistency and taste to keep me awake. The staff is eager to have indoor seating again but are following the COVID results closely before they decide to implement what places used to have. I hope to experience it soon as this would be a fun spot to chill and sip coffee. read more

Surely a large amount of teas to choose from in the cutest *yellow* tins. Organic, artfully mixed together. There are certainly main options. Coffee wise, it looks like there are a variety of in house syrups to choose from. I went with a lavender latte... half sweet. Per the baristas recommendation. It was exactly that, bold and captivating with a hint of sweetness. Cute design on top 10/10. Durable and large sized cup. Worth it! Walking in it's quiet and airy. Somewhere I'd dream of studying at in the prime of my undergrad degree. Seating is ample and comfortable. The music is not distracting like it could be at some coffee shops. I think this may be a cute place to meet someone for a date maybe? Yes, perhaps a second date! read more

They need more employees/faster employees. My biggest gripe here is it takes ages to get your coffee at a busy time. There's currently a line of 5 people at 8:46am as I type this. If you're willing to wait, it's a great spot. Delicious coffee, I love the tacos, lovely tea selection. Really everything is nearly perfect. I'm just hoping they can hire more staff soon to help with the demand. It's a great place!! read more

High expectations for this place but it ended up being very underwhelming! - Lavender Oat Milk Flat White: got this based on the barista's recommendations and it wasn't very tasty :( Very subtle lavender & not much caffeine, but overall creamy and rich which was good. For something that was over $5 that was less than 12 oz, I wouldn't get this again. - Mother's Latte: very distinct & rich maple flavor which I enjoyed. It tasted more like milk than any other coffee flavor though. Parking is limited. Would recommend parking across the street & then walking over. Plenty of indoor seating; due to the beautiful weather we opted to enjoy a spot outside. Service was meh. Overall lots of hype but lack of delivery! Hoping others has a better experience. read more

Decided to try a new coffeeshop to study and was not disappointed! Yellow cup is quieter than other coffeeshops I've been to and not crowded at all so was the perfect place to get work done.

Great quiet and airy space for working! Replicates the modern start-up office vibe. * Coffee Quality: good! A little pricey but nothing crazy. Very good Latté art which I love. Not as many signature lattes as I'd like to see but still great and reliable blends. * Interior / Vibe: Clean and modern. Not a huge space but it wasn't crowded when I went. There are barstool seats and handful of tables. My only critique (and reason for 4/5 stars) is because this place isn't the coziest - it is bright and airy but it doesn't really have much character in my opinion. They should add some more art and color. Also - the chairs aren't super comfortable (hard plastic) - my suggestion would be to add some comfier lounge chairs or padded seats. That being said - the clean airy atmosphere here is GREAT for doing work. It's super quiet and not very busy so it really recreates that modern-start-up office vibe for you. Last note - there are parking spots in front and in the garage - however it fills up quick! Get there early Overall - highly recommend! read more

We are a little bit picky about our coffee, specially when we're traveling, and yellow cup hit the spot. A casual spot with plenty of expresaos and cappuccino options. My husband had a blueberry scone and I did the Texas thing and got a breakfast taco (bacon egg and cheese)... delicious! I was adventurous enough to try a splash of lavender in my cappuccino and it has delicious . I only wish they had a more welcoming setting for hanging out and enjoying your coffee... it's a bit plane and cold. I will definitely come back for the coffee! read more

Cute and easily accessible spot just off the roundabout and part of a larger strip mall. Ample parking in the back for free for any patrons. The interior is cute with plenty of indoor seating, and was not very busy on a Sunday morning. Iced matcha latte was quite good. The baristas were quite nice, although my friend had a rather brisk experience with the cashier so I took off the star. As a cute added bonus, there are many potted plants inside that are all for sale with labeled price tags. read more

I have notice this a couple of times now.....it happened before and so I needed to address..... I ordered lavender latte.....the guy was not personable, lack a lil customer service and not sure if this is toward people of color because he showed different interaction to the other person that was not a person of color. Latte was not drained properly so it had the lavender herbs inside of the drink....this is not suppose to be so I told him and he seem to have attitude about it and he prepared the drink. SMH..... please address this.... read more
