Lovely setting. Inside and outside. I walked in and said good morning to lady behind counter. She didn't move. Another young lady came in from the back and said hello and took my order. She was very sweet. I waited for my dirty chai to be done. Another customer came in and first lady stopped and took his order. My drink was ready after that and was handed to me by the First Lady. I said thank you with a big smile, because, it's a beautiful day, I'm off work and looking forward to sitting outside, drinking coffee and reading my new book. Sadly, the lady did not move, nor looked at me. She seemed to be almost pouting. The drink was nicely made and delicious. Will be back because of the set up. read more

Minuti Coffee - Dirty chai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Staff are rude. From counter attitude to loud /weird cleaning practices, the environment is inhospitable. Yesterday, worker came to our table with a broom and was sweeping all around us and under our table while we were seated at it...even hitting our feet. She dragged the dustbin loudly around the floor as well. We were in a serious conversation regarding funeral arrangements for our mother!!! It was extremely disruptive and bizarre as there were no spills and nothing on the floor. It was also hours from closing so there was no reason to do an invasive clean at seated tables. We waited for her for several minutes, not speaking as she invaded our table, then asked her kindly to move on. Afterward she started SLAMMING cabinets behind the counter. There was one other occupied table and we all left at the same time ....it seemed bc of the commotion. This is an extreme example and why I chose to write the review but there's MANY examples of low key rudeness all the time. I don't plan to return. read more

The dirty chai latte is my go-to at any Minuti establishments. It's very rich and can keep me up for hours. The quality is pretty consistent. It's located near Izakaya Wa. They have amble parking spaces in the front. This location is quite spacious particularly for their outdoor space. Plenty of tables to sit. Friendly and quick service. They also offer hot food and baked goods. Similar to other Minuti locations. read more

Minuti Coffee - a sandwich and chips on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

WiFi only available for 2 hours so I can't work there consistently for longer than that. Even getting a new drink wouldn't allow the WiFi access to come back. Upside js the business isn't very busy so overall environment is quiet and good for working; downside is the WiFi issue and also lack of outlets. I ordered hot latte and the drink was delivered with no foam on top (which is my favorite part...sad). It was underwhelming read more

Love the Ice-O Caramel from Minuti at all locations, but this location was super hot, even though I visited in October! Ample seating available with almost no chargers (I think there was 1 outlet at 1 booth) read more

Minuti Coffee - Ice-O Caramel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Consistent, high quality coffee. So good that this is one of the few establishments where I don't hesitate to purchase their beans for home use. I enjoy French Press at home :- ) Ceramic cups available upon request. Some locations seem to employee Italian staff, or at least they don't seem to be native Texans. So unless you visit Majjaz Coffee (Yemeni - see origins and history of the discovery of coffee) you can't buy a more authentic cup of coffee! read more

Skipped the Unicorn drinks , put my big girl pants on and tried an adult coffee shop. Real Italian coffee. Very impressed. Great, chic vibes. Love the decor, the art throughout the establishment is a nice touch. They turned an old Compass bank into a coffee shop and did a great job of using the space. Turning the old bank vault into a mini art gallery. Enjoyed the variety of drinks and milk options, although I was disappointed not to see my favorite Matcha on the menu. Also like the options of munchies, gelato, pasteries and snacks. Will be back. Would recommend a visit. read more

Coming to the new Memorial Minuti brick and mortar location was an experience to remember. The gelato was delightful as their owner Ardavan Motamedi. As a 3rd generation in the coffee distribution business and 38 years experience in retail he decided to create a coffee retail shop concept,a roasting company from Modena Italy. His father and grandfather were even coffee roasters in Northern Italy.Talk about keeping it in the family. We tried their freshly made croissants and latte .The croissant was served gently heated with flaky layers that melted in your mouth. The latte served was robust and flavorful . This new coffee cafe quickly moved up to the top of our café favorites and will definitely be back!!! read more

I am a coffee snob, Starbucks is a life sucking experience. Minuti coffee legit, was with family and had affogado and it reminded me of a coffee shop or sweet ago in Rome. Yes that sounded bourgie but it's not just espresso shot with a scoop of ice cream. It was loaded with goodies and could be shared with your friends and family which it did. Service was excellent people super nice. read more

Buongiorno! Italian coffee goodness, and the wonderful chain that is Minuti has finally landed in the Memorial area. Not too far from City Center (I've even made the walk from city center to this location), you'll find the Italian chain I've learned to love. Compared to other locations in Houston, I found this one to be quite big. There is parking throughout the shopping center, and you'll find seating in the front patio, inside, and even behind the shop. This Minuti is unique compared to others, since it even has a little small art museum attached to it. The staff is very friendly, and you have tons of options to chose from. In my experience, the chai latte is a specialty for these folks. Minuti and chai lattes just go hand in hand. Various milk options for your coffee or tea, little snack items, croissants, and sandwiches as well. During our most recent visit, the staff was friendly as well. They have Wi-Fi (with a two hour limit), and this is a great spot to study or work. We ordered a hot moka, a vanilla shakerato, and of course, an iced chai latte. Good stuff and would definitely return. read more

Awesome new location!! Super clean and new. Same beloved drinks as the other Minutis. Easy parking. Plentiful indoor and outdoor seating. There's also a bank vault art gallery here. If you reload your gift card with $30 you get a free drink of your choice! What's not to love? read more

Gorgeous Italian cafe and amazing coffee. If you enjoy shaken espressos I highly recommend their Shakeratos available in various flavors. Extremely friendly staff and many beverages and food to choose from. So glad I stopped by on my way thru Katy. Great seating both inside and outside if you're wanting to enjoy the weather & also a lovely spot for work, study, to take a friend, or just peaceful alone time. Impeccable bathroom as well! read more

Minuti Coffee - Vanilla Shakerato - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

I sat in my car for a few minutes looking over the menu since I had never been to Minuti before. I walked in and the barista was very helpful in recommending things for me to try. I asked for a cafe gelato, it was delicious! I paired it with a vanilla pastry that had vanilla custard inside. The place was very clean, there weren't many customers at this time. I'm considering returning to work a few hours at this establishment. The music was very relaxing as well. Will definitely be going back. The cafe gelato barely made it home lol this is my new favorite drink. read more

Minuti Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Minuti Coffee has been my go-to coffee place for quite a while before I decided to reduce my caffeine intake. I was definitely addicted to their iced latte, I would have religiously every day of the week and sometimes twice a day. I also enjoyed their dirty chai, but I would only have it sporadically because of all the sugar and you can't order it without it unfortunately. (So there's a little tip for the owners, please add sugar free milk options!) I prefer this place over many others, and if I ever feel like returning to my daily coffee routine, Minuti will be my first choice. read more

I have been on a years search to find the greatest Chai Latte and found it at this location ONLY!!! I've been to several Minuti locations and this one does it right.The people here know how to make their coffee and the chai tastes like actual chai which is phenomenal when done correctly. In the past I've noticed at other locations that if they don't put enough espresso it becomes too sweet or if they add too much espresso it becomes bitter and overpowered where you can't even taste the chai. I've never have that problem at the Minuti at Memorial since going there. Sometimes parking can be difficult depending on the time of day but it's worth it to have the consistency I crave in good coffee and wonderful customer service. The bathrooms are clean and the Memorial location has tall ceilings that make it feel much more open and inviting. Minuti's I've been to ranked: Memorial-BEST hands down Fountainview- not consistent Fondren- not consistent Sugarland- rude customer service & bad coffee HWY 6- decent Midtown/Gray St. - good Eldridge Parkway- just ok read more

This place was so cute and inviting. The coffee was amazing and worth the extra drive read more

They have a happy hour which is nice. My coffee was $2 which is super rare nowadays. I've gotten used to paying $6+ for a coffee. Very good coffee might I add. I enjoy the music here, romantic italian. Unfortunately I wanted to study here but there's only 3 spots with outlets and 1 is reserved for parties 2+. There's multiple tables that indicate they are only for parties 2+, which I find weird and uninviting for a coffee shop. Also, the WIFI is only available for 2 hours max. So not very study friendly. Feels like they want you in and out. But good music and good coffee for a good price. read more

I drove a good bit to get here since on google it said minuti closes at 8. To my surprise they were closed! All that drive for nothing! Update your hours on google ! read more

Great place to have your coffee im memorial area. Very relaxed and quiet. Nearby shopping center read more

A coffee shop with European Flavor. Recommended for "strong coffee" lovers. Try the Shakeratto to "level up your day", or a Godfather for a nice conversation. If sweet is your choice try the Creamccino. Service is welcoming, friendly and cares about you. read more

Minuti Coffee - Friendly Service !!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Houston, Texas

Minuti Coffee on Memorial is consistently excellent quality and service. I also love the unique building and art gallery in a vault. The baristas are always nice and no long wait. read more

Consistently good beverages, food, and service across the board. Equally nice place to work on a laptop or meet a friend.

This is THE BEST minuiti coffee I have been to, due to its charm and small art center inside the historic bank. It's a total gem.

The owner needs to stop being cheap and fix the ac. The staff is always kind and attentive, but they shouldn't have to make excuses for a penny pinching owner. The location is great, but the owner needs some lessons in customer service--here's a couple lessons for free: 1. Fix the freaking ac. Customers don't want to sweat while drinking coffee. 2. Stop selling old stale pastry. 3. Do not reprimand your teenage employees in front of customers. read more

I arrived at this place thinking what a nice place. I sure have a good coffee here. The service was good but too fast for my taste (being that you are not in a fast food place and you are not looking for that). I requested a coffee of the day to be able to taste the flavors (which it indicated it had). Obviously I thought that by eating on site and telling the employee that I would receive a porcelain cup. Drinking a good signature coffee in a disposable glass is sacrilege and it is the first thing that caught my attention. The photo shows the coffee they served me, no foam...not signature. I also ordered a menu for my son that they never told me came with potato chips (that is, straight from a bag). The worst thing is that the napkins they give you to clean yourself come under the food (I think they don't think about it). Anyway, first visit (unusual) and last. Nothing to rescue, nothing different than ordering a takeaway coffee. From Italy only the name! read more

Finally decided to kick Starbucks to the curb after what, 30 yrs now? In an empty Minuti, as a paying customer working and the manager decides to tell me his policy related to sitting at a big table by myself. . . Thanks for welcoming me back Starbucks. read more

If you're looking for a place to work, this is not it. They discourage it. The many signs around (every table that's not a 2-top) will make you feel awkward. It feels very corporate and stale. A step up from Starbucks but not a quaint comfy coffee shop. With your purchase you are given a Wi-Fi code. I was kicked off after 2 hours and despite having made another purchase, could not get back on. The coffee and food were fine but nothing to brag on. There's signage to suggest they have salads and soups but they no longer do. read more

Great, flavorful coffee! Such friendly staff! Wonderful service. Gave me drink suggestions and they got it spot on. My new coffee place!!

My new, good friend Adaman, the president of this 12-store Minuti coffee empire, is a master barista. He should be - coffee has been in his veins and his blood for three generations. His education began as a child traveling with his dad and grandfather on business trips to Italy learning the coffee culture.; business, etc. They were and various other businesses but that's another story for another time. Here's what sets Minuti apart for me: - I inhabit his flag ship store at 12649 Memorial Dr. It's spotless, the landscaping on the front patio is inviting, and his associates are invariably pleasant and helpful. They even bring your order to you from behind the counter. How often do you experience that at other coffee shops?... Maybe never? - do you despise cold coffee the way I do? And after you pay $3.50, if you want another cup, you have to pay another $3.50. I'm willing to pay a little more for a bottomless cup. Unfortunately, it's really offered. For starters, Minuti's coffee cups and mugs are always hot and stay warm much longer than the norm. -Another challenge for me is the we-only-have-paper-cups stores. I know they're less expensive, but for me, it completely lowers the experience from something special to something common place. Edmund and Eudy, of course they have paper cups if you want them and they gladly give you to go if you ask. So... If you like a special place; with special well -roasted coffee beans from Italia; in a store that has well-trained associates, along with gelato and some other tasty sandwiches and things to eat... Minuti is your place! John Yochum read more

I love Minuti, sadly, they have this rule that some tables are "reserved" for groups of 2 or more people. I totally respect that, if only they enforced this rule on EVERYONE. I wasn't able to sit to enjoy my coffee and food today while working because they only had super small tables available when CLEARLY, there were groups of One people occupying the larger tables. But I guess the rules didn't apply to "them". It's just upsetting. Never coming back here. read more

If I could give this establishment 0 stars I would. The owner of this establishment was extremely rude and unprofessional to me. I came in later in the day, closer to closing time, when there was hardly anyone there, to study and asked if it would be okay to sit in a booth after i purchased my coffee and was told that there was a minimum of 2-3 people for where I wanted to sit but that it would be okay. Mind you, this is a coffee house, not a 5 star restaurant. The owner proceeds to walk out and tell me that I actually cannot be sitting here and would need to leave when more customers came. Again there was hardly anyone in this establishment and it was almost closing time. Telling someone, who is also a customer, that they would need to get up if other people came, was just unprofessional and absolutely ridiculous and as someone who already has a hard time being comfortable alone in public this was just such a disheartening experience. I will never feel comfortable coming back to this establishment after this encounter and will be gladly taking my business elsewhere to other places that allow people to sit where they'd like. Hopefully all of their customers have a group with them to be allowed to sit where they're comfortable. read more

Love this Minuti location. Came in to grab some coffee and gelato for the kids. I opted to try the godfather. The barista explained what it was and asked if I wanted it in a paper or ceramic cup. I chose paper because I thought I wouldn't be there long, but did need a place to sit comfortably while waiting for the wife. We sat at the table and the manager noticed. He recommended me to try it in a ceramic cup to taste the layered flavors of the godfather and had one made free of charge. He was right, the godfather tasted great in the ceramic. In fact, I wouldn't even recommend it in paper at all. read more

Smoothest coffee, delicious food and sweet staff. Wish we had one close to us in CA.
