I hate to leave this review because I've always had great experiences with Barbarossa Coffee, especially at their Tomball location. That's exactly why this visit to the Spring location was so disappointing. When I first arrived, there was nobody at the register, which already set the tone for the visit. What should have been a quick stop then turned into over an hour. I ordered a smoothie and breakfast tacos, and even the smoothie took a while to come out. I finished the entire drink before my food even arrived. After about 30 minutes, I checked in with the staff and was told it was due to "miscommunication" and that someone was new, while the person who took my order was in the back on the phone. I had to repeat my order multiple times, specifically asking for no hot sauce and no salad. Despite that, after another 15 minutes, the tacos finally came out incorrect, with both hot sauce and a salad, and they were lukewarm, not hot. To make matters worse, the smoothie itself wasn't properly blended. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What stood out most is that they weren't particularly busy, just a light morning crowd.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've been to the Tomball location when it was much busier, and the service there was still fast and attentive, which set a high expectation. Overall, the experience didn't match the premium pricing. I truly hope this location improves, but based on this visit, I wouldn't return to this one. read more

Pistachio honey latte - 9.5/10 - $5.99 - I got this half sweet and it was perfectly flavorful and delicious. I loved the crunch added from the pistachios Dubai chocolate oat latte - 8.5/10 - $7.50 - This was really good, also loved the added pistachios in this but it didnt taste as chocolatey as i expected Tried one of the few coffee shops in the Houston area serving halal options and I wish they had a location near me They have halal pastry options and a lot of unique flavors and signature lattes. Theres also a drive-thru! Definitely recommend trying out! read more

I visited a few times beginning of February 2025 while I was visiting the area. This spot had good reviews, so we decided to visit. First off, the decor and seating are lovely. It's a welcoming space that I'd love to hang out at if I lived in the area. Service was alright, it looked like they were training in a new gal and the rest of staff was taking lunch, so it was understandably a bit slow. The next time was a lot better. I ordered a pistachio latte the first time, and a Dubai chocolate the second time. The only negative things I have to say are I wish I hadn't ordered it with nuts on the top as it really ruined the texture of the drink (totally my fault, but I want to include this so others might considered it), the drink itself was lovely, rich, and a good pistachio flavor. The Dubai chocolate latte I am conflicted about; while it was also a lovely coffee, I didn't really taste a lot of chocolate. The best thing I ordered was this spanakopita-looking pastry (it was unlabeled). It came to me warmed up and had a lovely cheese filling. Next time I'm in the area, I'm ordering this again! I'd also love to come back and just explore the menu. I wish they'd do coffee flights just to try more! Bathrooms are clean. Parking is free. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Large space suitable for working/coffee chats with a variety of furniture.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Also great selection of pastries available! The famous "Dubai chocolate latte" was ok, it's not my preference and the pistachios on top just make your sips oddly crunchy. Overall would return but don't think I would get the specialty lattes, will stick with the classics next time. read more

The latte list here is extensive. They have a widespread selection of both flavored lattes and international style lattes which makes it hard to choose but you can't go wrong. I've tried both the Spanish latte and the Dutch iced latte and both were great. Service was nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the it's a hip relaxing atmosphere with large windows that let in the light.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My sister and I enjoy going to different coffee shops to do homework and study, this place had that perfect environment as they have free-wifi. Plenty of tables and even a chess board! My sister tried the Snickers latte which was pretty good and I asked the employee to surprise me with my drink. I received the Pistachio & Honey Latte and I get why it's the most popular drink! She was so sweet and checked in with me after to make sure I liked the drink! read more

the search continues for a great basque cheesecake (san Sebastian cheesecake) in houston. I was excited to try this one , along with the cherry cream matcha latte. they were both pretty disappointing. the cheesecake, you can definitely tell they did not use mascarpone which is essential for this cheesecake. I make this from scratch all the time which is why i'm looking for a great store/restaurant bought one. the search continues. as for the matcha , as well underwhelming. I usually only get vanilla flavored matchas so I was also excited to try it from the pictures.. it just tasted like milk. maybe it was my fault for the milk I chose, but regardless I should have at least tasted a bit of matcha , cherry or the whip topping, anything but just milk. probably wouldn't stop here again but the items were not terrible, just way below expectations for what they are. read more

This morning I was disappointed... would've given it one star although the place was clean and the two girls were at least friendly. I hardly drink coffee out nowadays although every time I went to the Tomball location, it was worth the occasional splurge. This is the newer location a couple of miles closer to home and while running errands I said, "Why not?!" Took awhile to get my usual pistachio honey latte and croissant at 10 am in the morning although I could see the two baristas behind the counter were busy. Ok, no big deal at all and I had $5 in rewards to use. They provided good service although once I headed out the door, the latte lacked the pistachio flavor I look forward to. Then when I finally got home to eat my almond croissant, it look like it was almost half the size and I realized it was burnt. Took a bite and it left a bitter taste in my mouth and was hard like rock candy. Oh well, I'll just have to stick to the Tomball location from now on ‍ (Note to owner: Your front door is jammed a bit. Other than that, the decor and bathrooms are quite nice and very clean!) read more

The coffee looks nothing like in the pictures (no latte art or anything). Thought this would be closer to a small 3rd gen coffee type spot but felt more like a big corporation/Starbucks type coffee shop. The coffee taste itself wasn't the best I've had, and the foam on the latte was hardly micro foam, it was just a big lump of foam. The baristas seemed overwhelmed even though I went during a calmer part of the day. I also ordered a cheesecake and they completely forgot about that and I didn't get it. $7 wasted on a cheesecake I didn't even get to try. Overall a really bad experience. read more

Having just had a RAVE review worthy experience at another location, imagine my coffee-fueled joy to see this location. The Vahhala was scrumptious, truly delicious & nearly perfect. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sadly the location needed a good picking up inside & out, so lost a star.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This place is a 30 mins drive from me and totally worth it. It was my first time, and I will be coming again as long as they keep serving that pistachio croissant. I had a pistachio honey latte and it was delicious. The service was an 11/10. The barista recommended both item for me because I wanted something different. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the cozy vibe and very spacious if you want to catch up on gossip with a friend or have a study session with some classmates or just be in your own world.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cool environment, if you want to go there to work. They have free wifi, and it's a quiet place to get some work done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Dubai chocolate was good as well. I would give it a 8/10. I would recommend this coffee shop. read more

Great coffee. Extravagant prices. You know when you read The NY Times and they tout jeans for $400? That what coffee and pastries go for here. Have gone perhaps 6 times said the same thing about the prices every time. Their standard response? Yeah we hear that a lot. This place is in Spring, not adjacent to the Galleria. read more

Got a potato roll and iced matcha with strawberry cream and I enjoyed both! The potato roll definitely needed something like siracha or valentina sauce on the side but if I get it again I'll bring it home and I can add a sauce on the side. Matcha was good but definitely could've been a bit more strong. Employees were kind and friendly! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also, if you need a place to work this would be a good place as I wanna say that's what most customers were doing (like on their laptops working).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Great coffee spot in the area! The vibes were great. Quiet enough to where you can study or get some work done, but also catch up with a friend. There's plenty of seating. I tried their pistachio and honey iced latte, which is super unique because I don't see a lot of coffee places that serves pistachio-flavored drinks. I absolutely love pistachio flavor, so this was a great coffee to try! The barista recommended the breakfast biscuit sandwich, which I also tried, and it was very delicious! It comes with a hot sauce on the side, so you can add as much as you would like (or not add any) to your liking. The barista is very friendly too. read more

I came across this coffee shop after a doctor's appointment and was immediately impressed by the variety of drinks and pastries and snacks they offer. From savory bites to sandwiches, pastries, to lattes, refreshers and smoothies. It was definitely a tough time picking my drink! But Juliana, one of the employees that was there at the time, was super helpful and kind! She was funny and engaging, rather than just being quick about taking an order. The cafe is spacious and has a great amount of comfortable seating. Plenty of people were working from here and having meetings. It's very modern, open and airy! I ordered a snickerdoodle latte and an almond croissant. The latte was so smooth and of high quality. I love that they don't over sweeten the latte. It's the perfect amount of sweetness. My boyfriend ordered the egg & cheese biscuit and a hurricane refresher. He said it tasted like the key west and was impressed by the taste of the biscuit and that it wasn't dry. It seems like it's going to be a pit stop after Dr's appointments for sure! read more

We ordered the pumpkin spice latte, I think they forgot to add coffee. It was all flavor and cream, weakest drink I've ever had. And we paid huge for watered down flavoring. Turkey sandwich is deceiving. The samples in the window look amazing. The one we got was flattened to two dimensions and no bigger than a child's hand. We paid $24 for a lot of nothing. The Valero in the same parking lot has better breakfast for much less. read more

Found out the new location is opening and since it's finals season I had to stop in. The coffee is just as good as usual and service is always friendly and quick. The new shop is super spacious, but still cozy. It still has the same vibes as the previous location on Louetta, but it feels more open. There's plenty of seating and plugs--perfect for studying. The one downside is that the prices are pretty up there, but I don't mind supporting small businesses! read more

*Barbarossa Coffee is my new love language.* I stopped by for the first time today on my way home, and oh my *gawd*, why did no one tell me sooner about this gem? I ordered the Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte and a Roasted Turkey Sandwich (added hot sauce because I like to live dangerously), and let me tell you--I nearly cried. The latte was a warm hug in a cup, and the sandwich? Flavor-packed perfection that made me question every other sandwich I've ever eaten. Had I not been rushing home for a virtual meeting (thanks, adulting ), I would've happily camped out to soak in the cozy vibes. But trust me, I'll be back--and this time, I'll stay. This is officially my new WFH go-to spot! Support local, y'all--because Barbarossa is serving up pure magic. read more

Unfortunately just an all around bad experience. I must have seen 6 other people that also had issues with their drinks. We waited in a short line for about 10 minutes just to order and then wait literally 20 minutes to get our coffee, which was mid at best. Oversweetened and milked, and just 2 or 3 ice cubes left floating at the top. The food did come out after about 6-7 minutes, so we were completely done eating our food by the time the coffee came out. The tacos were literally cold and didn't even have the ingredients that the menu listed. The barista team seemed overwhelmed and under staffed as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance-wise, there is literally a Harmon Kardon Bluetooth speaker playing exclusively Taylor Swift - I'm not kidding.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What in the world is going on at this place... read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This location is so cute and very clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sydney was such a sweet barista! Loved their unique coffee selection.

Why does the drive thru take FOREVER? I work around this cafe so often come by to get coffee. The whole purpose of a drive thru is so ppl can drive by, order their coffee and have it ready within 6-8 mins. When you pull up to the microphone, nobody comes to take your order until a few mins pass by and then the next window, you're waiting easily another 8-10 mins. Why even have a drive thru if you can't provide the quick service? This review is based on me coming in at least 5-7 times during the week between 7:15-7:30. The coffee isn't great tbh but I do like the spinach & feta roll. read more

Got the tres leches latte and it was great! Service was also very helpful and fast! Would definitely recommend stopping by.

Big selection in speciality drinks, and always mixed well. Baristas are super sweet and service is fast!

Michael was incredibly kind and welcoming this evening (even thirty minutes before closing)! We ordered an iced pistachio latte and an iced Valhalla latte- absolutely delicious!

I am originally from Chicago and have lived in many bigger cities around the world. In Texas, the things I miss the most are the neighborhood bodegas, cafes, and coffee shops where you get to know the staff and even clientele. Barbarossa Coffee fills that void for me with not only my the great and fresh tasting coffee but with an incredible staff and friendly ambiance where neighborhood people like to hang out and talk, study, work, and drink coffee. The pastries and food there is incredible. Temptations abound in the pastry display and everything is fresh and delicious. I cant say enough good things about the staff. In particular, Juliana. She is a spark of joy and has an infectious smile that can cheer up the most salty curmudgeon. Go for the coffee and stay for the vibes and food. You won't regret it! read more

Recently came to find this place as going to get coffee at new cafes are like a ritual for us. We really loved this cute place! It's huge, lot of places for you to sit and enjoy the drinks and food. We've had a few pastries, and they were all great. My fiance especially enjoyed the beef roll??? type of thing. Their pistachio latte was to die for. Other drinks have been okay but their service way outstanding. We had the pleasure of being served by Markie yesterday and he was so delightful! He was very informative, helpful, patient, and kind. I always put everything over service, so I had to write a review for Barbarossa! My drinks can often be a little complicated and specific but Markie was very accommodating and I absolutely loved that. We'll definitely be back. read more

Loved the ambience and the soft couches to sit and get some work done! I also ordered the snickers frappe and a beef roll! The snickers frappe was really good (a little watery for me who likes heavy ice) but had great and light flavor despite the name. The roll was light and crispy and had ground beef inside. Cholula sauce was provided to spice up the snack!! read more
