The shop has such a great atmosphere. Half of the space is a cozy coffee shop, while the other half is dedicated to roasting their beans in-house, which makes the experience feel even more special. I ordered the Honey Vanilla Iced Latte with oat milk, and my husband got the Caramel Iced Latte. Both drinks were absolutely amazing! You can really taste the quality of the beans, and it shows how much care goes into every cup. I also loved that most of their syrups are made in-house. Even watching them prepare matcha using a scale shows the level of precision and craftsmanship they put into their drinks. I also had the pleasure of meeting Chris, the owner, and Miguel, the barista. I recently bought an espresso machine and asked Chris for a few tips on pulling a great shot of espresso. He really knows his stuff and was incredibly helpful! I ended up buying a bag of their freshly roasted beans, and I can't wait to try them at home. If you're looking for exceptional coffee made with high-quality ingredients and genuinely passionate people, I highly recommend checking this place out. I'll definitely be becoming a regular!

The baristas were incredibly sweet and helpful when we were deciding what to order. I went with the Spanish Latte, which comes with condensed milk and salted caramel cold foam.

We really enjoyed our experience here, and this coffee shop will definitely be added to our rotation! Can't wait to come back and try more of their drinks!

Overall, this spot still earns a solid five stars for its consistently great food and welcoming atmosphere!

Typically when I have a bad experience with a company, I improve my communication in the future and…read moreif all else fails I just pick another place. However, it is obvious that the person that started Barbarossa has a great vision, and we have been going since they were just about to open their second shop. The owner provides above average products yet sadly it is almost always ruined by the incompetence of the hired staff. So I will be sharing my experience today, as well as the pattern of the most baffling interactions I have had over the last year. Today, my partner ordered the breakfast bagel (this comes with avocado), I ordered a croissant with only eggs over hard (this doesn't come with avocado according to their menu). Also it is necessary to ask for eggs over hard otherwise the egg whites will be oozing off your croissant. And I mean this with full disrespect because while cooking is a skill that requires development. How. On. Earth. Do you serve someone a raw egg? It is clearly visible, you don't need a food thermometer, it might literally be the simplest thing to cook. You can practice at home for next to nothing! When you ask for eggs for hard here, they will be close to over medium if you're lucky. Today, since they put avocado on my partners bagel I guess they decided to just add it to mine because why not? Well why not is because it's not on the menu, and I did not ask for it and I'm paying for the item I asked for. Not your random remix. Additionally, every time I order, I make sure to specify I want my matcha UNSWEET. Every time they say "ma'am it doesn't come with sweetner" and I hold my tongue because I know well enough if I don't say that, they add SWEETNER. And since my husband ordered this morning and didn't say unsweet, my Matcha ended up sweet. Once? Fine. Twice? Everyone makes mistakes. It's a drink idc. But every single time unless the customer specifies? Are these people being trained? Do they have the capacity to be trained? And sure you might be thinking wow that's harsh. So I shall share a previous experience. I wanted to purchase a lanyard, we all know a lanyard is about 20 inches long right? Well I asked to buy a lanyard in the drive thru, I was told they didn't sell lanyards, not that they were out of stock. No according to this employee they don't sell them, never have. Mind you I had just seen it in the store a few days earlier. I'm not one to argue so I acted as if it were my mistake. A few days later I stopped inside to see if they had any left in store. They had several, I took it to the register and asked to purchase the lanyard. She said "you mean our dog leashes!" ........... I thought she was pulling a little joke. She wasn't. I'm sorry have you seen someone walk a dog? Have you ever seen a dog leash shorter than 2 feet? Have you ever seen a dog? She genuinely begins to argue with me because she can't find the button for dog leashes in the system. (DUH girl! Because the company you work at doesn't sell dog leashes. How do I know that and you don't?) The manager walked over and chose the LANYARD button to which this young lady says snarkily "oh I guess it is a lanyard". The manager looked bewildered at her and I thought surely he will now realize how lacking his staff is. However that wasn't the case. So I beg. Please train them. Fire them. Replace them with robots please. I don't care. I'm even happy to give them gentle instruction on how to do their job if you'll at least teach them not to talk back. Don't assume they know what a lanyard, or a croissant, or a cup is because it just might be to the failure of your company. Bonus: a lot of these kids seem to not know that the source of sugar is what they call "flavoring" :) If I don't want sugar, it feels like common sense that I don't want vanilla with sugar in it?

I've been going to Cuppo for the…read morepast couple years specifically for these two reasons, along with the fact that many cafes in Houston don't offer pandan or ube flavored drinks. My personal go-to is the pandan matcha latte, which usually hits the spot every time. It was my first time back at Cuppo in a long time, and unfortunately, my pandan matcha latte just tasted like milk with a splash of pandan extract. For nostalgia's sake, I still downed the whole drink. Honorable mention: if you like a subtle ube flavor, I would highly recommend the ube latte. The coffee is a good amount of strong! I've yet to try the pastries and food they serve, but their selection always looks yummy. In my opinion, Cuppo is more of a nostalgic study spot with plenty of seating, outlets, and available parking rather than a go-to for coffee/matcha. Service is fast and nice, the bathroom is clean, and the atmosphere is perfect for studying and catching up.

I got the black vanilla latte, which is made with activated charcoal, vanilla, and a double espresso shot. You can absolutely see the charcoal. The drink is gray before the espresso is added, and pretty much stays that way. I got it iced, and it tasted quite good--not too sweet. Charcoal does not change the flavor. I often get a sour stomach from drinking coffee later in the morning, as I did here, but did not experience that this time. Charcoal isn't known as an acid reducer, most people that use it do it to remove toxins before they reach the kidneys but the benefits are not clear. in any case, it's something that's not on the Starbucks menu! Service was friendly and enthusiastic. They have a wide variety of coffees, including cold brew and chemex as well as espresso. They have teas as well. The owner prepares the drink in front of you, which would be particularly fun with Chemex.
