    Strawberry Matcha
    Neeve O.

    Great drinks! Cute space to hang out and chat or get some work done It does get super busy and services can be a tad slow but overall a fantastic addition to the area. Loved the strawberry matcha.

    Breakfast Sammie Tintos cold brew and matcha

    This place was SO damn good. We got the Breakfast and the Milano and both were incredible. They bake the focaccia fresh in house every day and you can absolutely tell. The bread alone is worth coming back for. The Milano was probably my favorite. Bresaola, parmigiano, arugula, lemon, truffle and balsamic glaze. Everything was fresh, balanced and just ridiculously good. The Breakfast with egg, bacon, avocado, tomato and mozzarella was right there with it. I had the Tinto's cold brew and Jessica got the matcha. Both were amazing. The cold brew especially was next level. Great little spot, awesome food, fresh bread, great coffee and everything tasted like someone actually cared about what they were making. 10/10. We'll definitely be back!

    Mango + passion fruit matcha

    Very cute coffee shop in the suburbs. We needed something like this. Love the variety of options. Lots of working space and seats. The matcha was really yummy. They just opened so they're still working through some growing pains but I would come back.

    Tinto's Cafe is a gem! The sourdough sandwiches are outstanding, made with fresh-baked bread that really sets them apart. The desserts were delicious, and the matcha latte with mango purée and passion fruit was a unique and refreshing treat. Never had a chocolate chip cookie as good as this one. You can tell a great deal of care and attention goes into every item they serve. From the quality of the ingredients to the presentation, everything felt thoughtfully crafted. I'll definitely be back!

    Been consistently coming since they opened! Great customer service and the food/drinks are delicious. Highly recommend!

    Focaccia del Huerto. Sourdough Focaccia, roasted eggplant, bell pepper preserve, creamy humus, fresh spring mix, olive oil, sea salt.

    The best cafe and fresh food. The owners are great and makes this cafe completely different from the corporate coffee shops (you know them) that have no personality (sanitized corporate cookie cutter look). I can't say enough about how good the food is. Community! Picture is the "Focaccia del Huerto". Sourdough Focaccia, roasted eggplant, bell pepper preserve, creamy humus, fresh spring mix, olive oil, sea salt.

    My experience at Tinto's cafe was amazing. The ambience of the cafe felt cozy and inviting. Customer service was excellent, the staff were friendly and helpful. I felt like I was transported to a different place when I was here. I ordered a matcha latte but I did have to add sugar to my matcha to add some sweetness to it. I also ordered a cinnamon roll which was 10/10. I also ordered a breakfast focaccia and it was yummy and huge. I will for sure come back to try an ice coffee and purchase their cinnamon roll again.

    I recently visited this spot because my boss recommended it to me. The traditional macchiato was great. However, I got breakfast focaccia, and there was sooooo much hair in my food... it looked like it was baked inside the sourdough, especially when I took a bit of it and the hair was in my mouth.. I literally pulled the hair and the whole bit of food was attached to it. I got it to go because I was headed to work so when I tired to call the number that was linked on google no one answered. I wanted to avoid leaving a review and just tell them directly about my experience with the food but I never received a call back after leaving a voicemail.

    Strawberry raspberry matcha( with almond milk)

    I really don't want to leave a review because incredible places like this are the kind I usually like to keep to myself and my family, but I'm trying not to gatekeep this year! I went with one of my family members, who's a total coffeeholic, and she absolutely loved it. She said the beans were top quality, and her coffee was unbelievable. I'm more of a matcha drinker, and I've tried a lot of places in Houston, but this is currently my number one spot for matcha. Their strawberry-raspberry syrup is homemade, and it's perfect--not too sweet, with a thick, smooth consistency. I'm pretty picky about desserts, but ohh boyyy... their sourdough cinnamon rolls are sooo good! They're soft, slightly sour, perfectly sweet (without being too sweet), and have just the right amount of cream. I've tried the chocolate, almond, and original flavors. My absolute favorite, though, is their Black Forest Cake Tres Leches. It's the best tres leches cake I've had in Houston. The cheesecake and alfajores are also a 10/10--you can literally taste the quality of the ingredients. The service is excellent. I met the owners, and they were incredibly sweet and attentive. The ambiance is cozy, cool, and relaxing. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting--it feels like a hug from someone you love.

    First off, I have had one positive experience, but this experience left much to be desired and it…read moredemonstrated a clear lack of care, consistency, consideration, professionalism, pride in the product and just WOW, DISAPPOINTING . To allow a plate to exit your establishment in this CONDITION was unsatisfactory & disappointing. I felt like I got scraps from a trashed kiddie meal, there was no thought given to this. The food was not cooked all the way. Fish was limp. Fish was as small as my thumb. The shrimp were tiny, dry, looked like they'd stayed under lights too long. I mean, the macaroni and rice are pretty simple, you got that in bulk. You can slang that all day. So why didn't anyone take time to AT LEAST make the fish and shrimp shine??? Regardless if the meal is a deal or not, what we receive is a reflection of each person who you touched that plate, WHO SERVED IT AND WHO looked at it, decided it was fine and put it in a bag to be delivered to someone who spent their money for food! Energetically and overall, this was SAD AND unfortunate. I gave my report on Uber already as one star: Maika'i Hawaiian BBQ (10311 North Eldridge) Thank you, Court, for your feedback. I'm truly sorry that your experience didn't meet our standards at Maika'i Hawaiian BBQ (10311 North Eldridge). We strive to provide excellent food and service, and I hope you'll consider giving us another chance to show you that. Please feel free to reach out to discuss this further. Also, don't miss out on our limited-time offer: buy one, get one (BOGO) free! Thank you again for your insights. Why would I reach out to discuss anything further when your establishment dropped the ball? Why would I take advantage of a buy one get one free deal? I won't patronize this establishment again. THAT IS ALL!! DO better.

    Came at around 2pm on a Sunday and it wasn't very busy at all, but it should've been. The food here…read moreis fantastic!! It took about 15 mins to come out. Everything we had was flavorful, delicious, and all the meat was moist! I can't wait to come back and I'm sad it took me so long to find this place! Highly recommend!! Service was helpful and friendly. The restaurant felt very clean, spacious, and modern with a lot of natural light. They brought our food out to our table and gave us napkins and utensils, so we didn't have to get up and get them ourselves. Absolutely a great dining experience! The portions are also big! My bf and I each got a Hawaiian Favorite combo and couldn't finish them. The entrees are easily two servings for me, so it's a great value! The containers the food comes in are microwavable too, so extra bonus points for easy reheating! If you do manage to finish an entree in one sitting though, you will be stuffed! It wasn't mentioned on the menu, but there's steamed/sautéed cabbage under the meat. It looked a little deceiving because I thought it was just a huge pile of meat, only to find cabbage under. Thankfully, I love cabbage and appreciated that there were veggies to balance the heaviness of all the meat. That being said, there was still a lot of meat, just not as much as it looked like at first. They also give you little containers of sauce depending on which entree you get, which really enhanced the meal. If you get bbq beef or chicken, you get a delicious, sweet, Hawaiian bbq sauce. If you get the chicken katsu, you get a sauce that resembles sweet and sour. If you get a combo that has both bbq meat and chicken katsu, you get both sauces. I poured the sauce over the rice to season the plain white rice, then poured the rest on the meat even though it didn't really need it. BBQ CHICKEN: Moist, flavorful, and delicious!! Comes in small to large chunks. BBQ BEEF: Moist, flavorful, and delicious!! Comes in thin slices. CHICKEN KATSU: Moist! Fresh, crunchy breading! Tastes better with the sweet and sour-like sauce provided than on its own. KALBI SHORT RIBS: Delicious! Moist! Has fatty bits, unlike the bbq beef, which I really liked! Very similar, if not the same, flavor as the bbq beef. MACARONI SALAD: Delicious and flavorful! Tastes just like potato salad.
