Their standard menu is ok. Their seasonal menu is great! Really loved the black sesame latte and parfait-Louie; it made a... delicious pick-me-up snack and was served at the perfect temperature. Service was fantastic too. Their outdoor seating wasprefect for reading a book and enjoying nice weather. A great little coffee shop; I would definitely go out of my way to comehere ????????

Vibe- This is a cute coffee shop that?s located in uptown park near the galleria. There?s plenty of seating outside and there?s... 4 bar stools along the wall inside to sit. I asked one of the baristas about the story behind the shop and she explained thatthe owner grew up around NASA (a family meme we worked there) so you?ll see some astronauts around the building.\n\nCustomerservice- Great!\n\nFood/drinks- Hot chai tea latte with oat milk, it was delicious. Definitely one of the best chai lattes I?vehad!\n\nParking- There?s plenty of parking spots right by the building and lots around in the lot the shop is located in. Read more
10:30 So we got ice vanilla latte and ice mocha latte with oat milk, cinnamon roll and jalapeño and cheese scone, didn?t offer... to warm it up, the pastries were big and filling but honestly kinda hard to chew and eat ????. The coffee was good but notsomething I would drive 23 minutes for. The employees were good. Parking is good. Limited seating inside so you would be mostlikely sitting outside Read more
Cute little coffee shop in Uptown Park! Clean modern design with large window. Astronaut themed. Limited indoor seating.... Spacious and cute outdoor seating area. Too hot for the Texas heat! Read more
This was our first time recommended by our cousin who has been here many times. The best and first impression was the staff! She... was very very friendly, welcoming, helpful. The atmosphere is very nice and well plan. I like that that the decorations was allabout space theme which match with the Giant Leap!\n\nWe found out later that the owner used to work in NASA on moon landingproject. How cool is that.\n\nMy sesame latte was great. Perfect combination between coffee and sesame. My husband?s cappuccinowas a bit too hot (coffee was made in too hot water temperature which made it a bit over extraction). However, all in all, itwas great! Read more
It was my first time. It is tinny but cute and delicious. I purchased the plain croissant, ham croissant and almond croissant,... they were delicious but cold. Same they don\'t warm them because warm will be extremely delicious. They have a nice variety ofcoffee and I love that. They have the golden milk (ginger and turmeric coffee) it is hot and it is delicious. I was looking fora place to try it and I did it :) I recommended. When you order double check if your coffe is hot or ice because the othercoffee I order was the milkway and that was ice.... I thought was hot but was ice.... Even ice was very good, strong and sweetcoffee, I recommended too if you like strong flavor coffee. They have few chairs inside as a little bar and several tablesoutside. The weather today was perfect to enjoy breakfast outside. The place is delicious and cute. The staff is very polite andfriendly. Read more
Giant Leap Coffee is a great little coffee shop nestled in Uptown Park. They offer coffee roasted by Houston roaster Amaya as... well as an assortment of teas and pastries. They also offer a rotating selection of seasonal drinks.\n\nAmbience and service:There\'s ample parking around the coffee shop, a small amount of seating inside with several outlets for those studying, and agood amount of outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is dog friendly! The interior is nice and clean, and the aesthetic is hipand casual. There\'s merch at the front, a bathroom in the back, and a cool little area with some history about how the coffeeshop was founded by a former NASA astronaut (hence the name and space theme throughout). Very cool! The baristas were nice andexplained the menu well. There\'s wifi!\n\nDrinks: We ordered a mocha latte and iced Jasmine white tea. The latte had a greatbalance of espresso, milk, and chocolate -- you could really taste the coffee, you got a great texture from the whole milk, andthe chocolate added an extra little sweetness that complemented the espresso well. The tea was refreshing and the flavor wasrobust (for a Jasmine white tea) even despite the fact that it was iced - not diluted at all. It was calming and fragrant,reminding me of the authentic flavor I\'ve had from some loose leaf Jasmine white tea before.\n\nOverall, we were very impressedby the quality of the drinks here and are looking forward to coming back. The prices are also very reasonable compared to manyother coffee shops around Houston, making this place even better! Make sure to give this place a try if you need a coffee fixwhile in the Galleria area. Read more
