Reviews for The Yellow Cup in Houston, TX
Let me start by saying that the staff was so nice and knowledgeable about the menu. The coffee was also decent, just didn?t have... the best first impression due to the following reasons. 1) we asked for our drinks to be made ?for here? when we ordered andspecifically requested real mugs and this was acknowledged by the barista. Despite this, our drinks were still served in to-gocups. What I enjoy most about trying a new coffee shop is sitting and having a conversation with someone while enjoying mybeverage from a real mug. Sadly, I didn?t not get to enjoy this experience. 2) they had a variety of pastries that were ondisplay including muffins, croissants, scones, etc. I love a good blueberry muffin so I ordered that and then found my seatwhile waiting on my drink. Barista calls me back up to the counter to inform me that they don?t have any more blueberry muffinsdespite it being on display. I told her it was no problem and she offered to replace it with a cranberry muffin which was alsoon display. I was then informed by another employee that they were also out of this so I settled for a scone which tasted old.In hindsight, I should have just asked for a taco as this is what my husband ordered and said it was good (the tacos are fromtacos-a-go-go.) With so many other good coffee shops in our area, it is very difficult to return somewhere that left a bad firstimpression. Read more
Been here a handful of times, since moving to the area. My boyfriend and I instantly became fan of the coffee shop. But after... today?s experience, we felt discriminated for bringing our pet. Not only was the worker (guy) approach the situation rudely byasking us to leave to go outside although our puppy was being held and harnessed. Their pet friendly statement is far from beingfriendly and broad. I agree we should respect all protocols of any establishment but when assessing the customer about thesituation a ?friendly reminder? for the next visit is far more appropriate than having to ask them to leave in order to place ato go order. How can you say no to this face. 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 peopleworking so you can easily find a table to work at. There\'s nice outside seating as well for chatting with a friend or taking aquick call. Bathrooms were clean. Also, I feel like the drink was bigger than I receive at other shops, which is a huge plus. Itwas overall a good experience. Small downside is that they do close on the earlier side.\n\nBy the end, they were playingawesome Spanish music classics which I was a big fan of, haha! (Cumbia\'s mostly). Read more
Nice cozy coffee shop to study, work, or just hangout! The customer service is great, there?s plenty of parking out front, and... the space is neat and clean.\n\nI didn?t like the drink I got on my first visit, but I?m sure they have a good matcha latte thatI?ll have to try next time ???? Read more
They have a nice environment for customers who are looking for a silent and comfortable place to chill, study, work, or meet... friends...\nThey also have a great \"CA PHE SUA DA\" which is really close to the real Vietnamese style. The staff is alsofriendly and nice. We had a satisfactory time here after the first visit. Great job. Read more
Stopped n for an Americano...my go to Cup. It?s nice to have variety n the hood. The espresso beans were flavorful and... thankfully had a unique roast flavor to enjoy when so many places seem to have such similar beans. The joint is very Euro brightand fresh which is well suited to the expansive choices in tea leaves they have to offer. Admittedly, if I?m looking to hunkerdown for a nice hot cup of joe I prefer a warmer, comfy corner to lounge n, but I realize that?s not everyone?s cup o? tea. Willb back for sure. Read more
This place is brand spanking new! Lots of cute wall decals and modern decor. The aesthetic is hipster if there ever was a good... use for that word. Nice bright, airy atmosphere.\n\nI got an almond milk cappuccino which was delicious. I?ll give a pass to thestaff who are still in training, they?ll figure out that cash register eventually!\n\nHad to park with my hazard lights on rightoutside the door because the shared parking lot was full. You may have to opt for street parking but this little place is worthchecking out! Read more
Love this place! Good coffee, nice staff, lots of natural light and pretty quiet.
