Been going there since it opened, I dont care about local art, or any of the little creations you can do with foam, or the whole cafe posing thing usually associated with little cafes, i just want a good cup of coffee. This they deliver consistently and with a great variety. If the coffee of the day tastes like something you dont want to drink (not all coffee tastes the same I found out) , they will gladly change it for something more to your palate and liking. The service is consistently good, and I have never had a bad experience here. The Owner and manager are extremely focused and involved on customer satisfaction, and creating a relaxing place to drink a cup and read the news or socialize. I often see people having business meetings, moms just just relaxing after dropping the kids off, and general student fare in the normal day and a general mix people people and schedules. The food varies constantly in menu, but is always excellent, and they are quite particular in the quality of food they deliver. If I was to rate them on a scale of 10, they get a 10/10. Keep up the good work!

Ive been coming to Fioza since college. It was my main study spot during graduate school, and I still like to come here on days when Im working remotely. I like the laid back atmosphere - its almost always busy, but it never feels like youre in a crush. Typical customers during the day are college students, people working remotely (like me), or ladies from the neighborhood meeting for a little coffee talk. The baristas are nice, and most then have been here several years. The music they play is a good mix of old and new - you could hear Fleetwood Mac one day and Future Islands the next. The coffee is pretty good, they have a fun array of specialty drinks, and the paninis, soups, and cakes they offer are always delicious. Bonus: tapioca teas! WiFi is free, outlets and parking are plentiful, and the bathrooms are kept nice and clean.

Background: Ive been here several times to study and for business meetings. Feel: A small, artsy and modern coffee and tapioca bar ideal for a long day of work. Drinks/Food: The coffee and espresso are both good, but the real draws are the teas with tapioca pearls. While the drinks are the focus, the Pannini and other food options arent bad either. Service: The employees are very nice and helpful. I’d never had tea with tapioca pearls, so they let me sample before ordering. Drinks and food both come out quickly. Things to know: - There’s only one table outside, so it isnt a great place to bring dogs - All the tables are small, so it’s difficult to have a large group Overall: Great tea, good coffee and food, and an atmosphere conducive to work and studying. Only downsides are limited outdoor seating and small tables.

My son turned us on to this great little gem tucked away near North Braeswood and Chimney Rock. We stopped in one day for lunch and the Paninis were great. Now it is a favorite weekly stop. And the coffee... I have tried several now, though my favorite is the mocha - but that has always been the case. Service is always friendly and the place is always spotless. WiFi and the ability to do a little work when needed is a great plus. Some outdoor seating on a pretty morning or evening and good conversation is a plus. Not the busy, "buy everything" feel of a Starbucks or brand store. More the comfortable atmosphere of an old school coffee house where you see and make friends. Thanks, guys.

Their coffee is good, service is so so but their bubble tea (or tapioca tea) is terrible! The milk tea part is average but the boba is the worst I have ever had, its low quality cooked wrong and kept way too long. I love bubble tea and was excited to try theirs since its near my house. I went one time in the afternoon and it was awful and I thought maybe they had just only made one batch all day so I tried it a different day in the morning and it was still awful. Their coffee has been fine but I was so severely disappointed by the bubble tea I dont even want to go there anymore.

Awsome service excellent staff they should all get a pay raise, took my aunt there. We both loved it the smoothie didnt task like half water downed fruit crap like most places it was sweet the thing that I look for in a smoothie. The guys wearing a regular show t shirt really brightened my day. Would recommend to any one aND please tip at places like that most are college kids trying to fund there future.

Recently raised prices, but so did everyone. Entrees (like salad) taste great, but not big enough for price, but cake slices and other baked stuff definitely is. You can tell them exactly what you want and theyll alter the drink, but make sure youre specific. Coffee is really good. Generally pretty quiet, hipster music is kind of annoying, but free good wifi and friendly staff.

As a coffee geek I can say this guys knows how to make a nice cortado and a cappuccino, very nice staff and atmosphere. As a European I am not used to the size US use for their drinks. but welll if the coffee is nice I dont mind shove 15oz of coffee when I am used to 8oz... Nevertheless their roasting is well done and the coffee is fresh.. Well done lads

Love Fioza the people are great. Cute cozy place to come study. Should not come in big groups. Perfect for reading orb working on laptops. Is popular so sometimes it gets full. I love the sanwiches and salads very tasty ☺ the coffee is okay. And they have free cups to drink water. The only thing is that you have to ask for the wifi password.

As a fairly knowledgeable coffee drinker/roaster/barista, I can only say I wish all espresso houses were as consistent and customer-friendly as Fioza. Price alone is a poor criterion for quality; I cannot drink Charbucks coffee at any price, and do go out of my way to visit Fioza. Its the best this side of Seattle.

They will not tell you when the internet isnt working. Even when I asked for the password, the staff gave it to me and didnt inform me the internet was down until I went up again to ask if there was a problem with the WiFi. Then they acted sorry it was down. Terrible service.

Across the street from my home.... Their smoothies and lattes are bomb good... Had to re-up on my post from 3 years ago. This place is still legit. Never bad service, cool mellow atmosphere, and the staff are awesome. Definitely recommend as a cool out spot, study, or a date.

Pretty neat place with a friendly cafe atmosphere. Pastries are delivered to them fresh and coffee is freshly ground for each drink. Employees are so-so but, in the end its the passion and delicious drinks that really make up. This is a great spot for a quick fix.

Love this place!! Excellent Lattes and Iced Coffees. Their Dahl soup is so great, I usually order extra to bring home. , Paninis are also good. I come here and play Trivial Pursuit with my kids, or hang out with friends after exercising.
