Wow it’s been 8 months since I last purchased any drink from giant leap & “Mario” was the rudest “barista” I’ve ever encountered. The drink itself was 1 out of 5 after I kindly asked for a refund he refused. Needless to say I will not be returning.

Great coffee shop. Their ISS latte is a must-try. Some of the best seasonal flavors out there. The location makes it fun to people watch, and if you're there when there's good weather, it's a beautiful little place to sit outside and get work done.

Visited for the first time, really enjoyed it! Got two special drinks - the espresso tonic, which was wonderfully subtle, and the nutter butter, which was so tasty and sweet without being overpowering. Also had a great croissant. The shop was small but super fun, the vibe was so cool! I will definitely be back again!

Very small shop so you might have to sit outside, but very good coffee, not very acidic

I went for a coffee but (also) left with the most delicious turkey croissant I've ever had. Seriously ? My mouth is watering again just thinking about it.
The espresso also had great flavor and the homemade syrups (hibiscus + rose, per recommendation) made a delicious iced latte.
Staff were also very helpful and nice!
I will definitely be back.

Great location, delicious drinks, knowledgeable baristas, great place to enjoy a beautiful day....I don't usually get tea, but the jasmine tea was some of the best I've had...really robust flavor.

Their coffee is actually really good. It's not big, but parking is easy along with the staff being nice. I would not recommend it for doing work or studying, but I would definitely recommend it as a short coffee stop!

Been coming here for years. The best espresso roast and flat white I’ve ever had.

Absolutely love it here! This is my go-to coffee spot in the galleria area, and in Houston in general since it's NASA/space themed.
This cafe will have all your espresso and coffee classics and needs, on top of that, they'll also have a rotating seasonal menu that features creative house made syrups and flavors that you'll be excited to try. The pastries are fresh every day, and they also have breakfast tacos if you need something heartier.
The service is friendly and fast, their communication is top notch, so you'll never lose your drink, even in the morning or lunch time rush when the cafe gets crowded. If you ever want to come in and nerd out over coffee, their staff will help answer any questions and show you what beans they have available for purchase as well.
The cafe itself is well taken care of, always clean and well lit. It feels light and open as they have many windows to let in a lot of natural light. The structure is made out of a shipping container so it is a bit narrow on the inside, but perfect for any confusion there may be about the line and traffic flow. The cafe has a lovely covered patio area and seating area with just benches right outside the front door.
Definitely stop by if you're on your way to the galleria, or walking through uptown Park. The other cafes in the area are all chains, way less interesting, and way harder to access, especially if they're in the mall.
Dietary restrictions: They have all forms of alternative milk save coconut. They can customize any drink!
Parking: If you come during lunch, parking can be a bit difficult to find. I recommend coming during off peak times for easy parking. They even have parking for electric vehicles right in front!
Kid-friendliness: There are always children and people with dogs passing through, as service is easy and quick. There is also a lot of space to play and spend time in on the patio as well.
Wheelchair accessibility: I would say the front door can be a little heavy and requires a solid tug. As the building was originally a shipping container, it is also a little narrow between the counter and some bar top seating they have inside, both along the length of the building. Be prepared for a tight fit.
