The Morii Coffee

Cute coffee shop in Chinatown Solid coffee with a lovely interior. Their beignets are a great snack - not too sweet even when paired with the provided honey dip.

WOW! This is the best Vietnamese coffee I’ve ever had. I ordered the latte, per the barista’s suggestion. This has less ice but it’s just as flavorful. The matcha isn’t the best, but this drink alone deserves all the praise.

Good place to get matcha and other drinks around Bellaire. This place is a great spot to sit down and study. They have a large menu of drinks and food items too. The place is cheaper compared to most places I know in houston. I also noticed the drink I got which was very tasty, it had a foam and ice that made up most of the drink. The beignets were good, I've had better. Overall good spot and I'd come back!

So… Morii Coffee got a glow-up. Or maybe a full identity cleanse. I’m not saying my one-star review triggered a shift in the universe, but… I came back and suddenly there’s new ownership, new staff, and a little sign that basically says, “Same drinks, but now we’re actually nice!” 😂 The space still has that whole French country thing going on — chill lighting, soft colors, cute little tables — but now it feels more functional. Like, I could actually bring my laptop here without feeling like I’m disturbing the aesthetic. There’s even a big bench table for people like me who carry 17 devices and need room to overthink life decisions. I tried the dragon fruit lemonade — super refreshing, not too sweet, and they didn’t drown it in ice (respect). The karaage (Japanese fried chicken)… hmm. It came out in chicken finger–style strips. Juicy, yes. Crunchy? Not really. It was giving “almost,” but the spicy mayo tried its best to make up for it. We’ve all been there. Didn’t get to try the puff — which everyone else seems to love — but the regret is already brewing, so I’ll probably be back for that. Also: outlets! Outside tables! Actual quiet! Basically, this coffee shop in Chinatown redeemed itself. Not perfect, but chill enough to make the regulars forgive and forget. Maybe.

Morii Coffee is a wonderful place for a little study or work session when you need a little sweet treat. The atmosphere is light, airy, and open, with a bohemian vibe to the decoration. My favorite items I tried were actually not the coffee, but the lemonade! The lychee and mango black tea lemonades were SO good. They were smooth, fresh, and refreshing. Very sweet in the best way possible. The coffee was good, but nothing special in our opinion. My highest recommendation to you is to ask for light ice in the drink, the normal amount of ice is a little heavy handed, leaving little room for your drink. Overall, we thought Morii Coffee was a good place to get your drink fix, especially while working, but you *have* to ask for light ice. I’d love to come back again sometime and try the food!
