Fellini Caffè

Cute little place, definitely worth trying it out. We tried the tiramisu, which was decent. Plenty of seating space inside if you need to work and enjoy your coffee.

Family-run coffee shop by the Rice University area I tried their chai latte, which I didn’t enjoy. It was sickly sweet and had little to no chai flavor. There was some cinnamon sprinkled on top of the foam. There’s mostly cafe style seating (wooden seats and tables) with one couch and a high table. Staff are friendly.

Great coffee shop with a nice selection of sweets and coffee. Parking is available around and it is free. Try some of their breakfast bites as well.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Fellini Cafe in the heart of Rice Village before our campus tour at Rice University, and what a delightful surprise it turned out to be! Looking for a quick coffee and pastry experience, we were immediately taken in by the inviting atmosphere of the cafe. Despite our tight schedule, we couldn’t help but want to savor every moment spent there. The smell of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries was simply irresistible! The coffee was exceptional, offering a true European twist that really elevated the whole experience. Each sip was a delightful blend of rich flavor, satisfying our cravings and giving us just the right boost we needed before our tour. The pastries were equally impressive—flaky, fresh, and utterly delicious! What truly stood out was the friendly and efficient staff, who made us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed in a timely manner. Their warmth and attentiveness added to the overall charm of the cafe. While we regret not having enough time to fully immerse ourselves in this gem, we left with smiles on our faces and a promise to return. If you’re near Rice Village, I highly recommend stopping by Fellini Cafe for a quick yet memorable coffee and pastry experience. You won’t be disappointed!

Nice little cafe a friend bought me to ☕️ it’s located by the corner of the street! Fresh drip hot coffee was amazing, came after lunch and had coffee and dessert which is not overly sweet, I’ll be back!

Fellini Caffè in Rice village area offers a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, with attentive service that adds to the overall pleasant experience. However, the seasonal peppermint mocha and matcha latte didn’t quite meet expectations. Both drinks were overly sweet and lacked the smooth, creamy texture one would hope for from such specialty beverages. While the café has a lovely ambiance and great service, the drinks could use a better balance of flavors to enhance the experience.

Fellini Caffè offers some of the best coffee in town—rich, smooth, and consistently satisfying. Whether you're ordering a classic espresso or a specialty latte, the quality of their brews truly stands out and keeps me coming back. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot to relax or catch up with friends over a great cup of coffee. However, one area that definitely needs improvement is the cleanliness of the tables. On several visits, I noticed that tables were left uncleaned long after customers had left, leaving crumbs, spills, and used napkins behind. It would make a big difference if staff cleaned tables promptly after each customer departs. A little more attention to tidiness would elevate the overall experience and match the quality of their exceptional coffee.

The coffee at Fellini is simply exceptional; it never fails to impress me. Their pastry selection is equally delightful. On my last visit, I indulged in the Almond Fig cake, and it was nothing short of amazing. This light and creamy dessert, featuring a luscious fig center, is a true culinary gem. It's the perfect treat to enjoy any time of day—a must-try for anyone who appreciates exquisite flavors!

Dropped by on a Friday night because I needed to use my laptop for about 2 hours. This cafe in Rice Village checked all the boxes during my visit: - Upscale interior, clean tables, and sufficient work space even at the individual tables. There are a variety of seating options including a leather sofa, high table, two seaters, and more. - Mango/peach Fellini Smoothie tasted wonderful. Looks basic on first impression, but the peach adds a unique flavor to the blend. For ~$5, it's quite a filling drink. - Helpful and polite service. I wouldn't have even opted for peach in my smoothie if the worker didn't mention that mixing flavors are free of charge. Additionally, one of the workers brought the smoothie to my table in 5 minutes. Looks like I've found my new study spot in Rice Village.

Best coffee shop/cafe around! It's so beautiful when you walk in, with a bright clean atmosphere and upscale clientele. The owner is a sweetheart and the staff are so friendly. Not only is the coffee selection amazing, but the food is to die for! A great place for brunch or to get some work done on your laptop while sipping something nice and munching on delicious bites.

Good Italian pastries but the coffee wasn't stellar. We got the pistachio cannoli - 5/5, perfectly flaky cannoli shell with fresh piped cream Pistachio diplomatica - 4/5, the cream and cake were good and moist but the pastry on top was a little dry Coffees were only okay. The staff was initially pleasant but they got some of our order wrong and argued with us after one thing so we didn't even bother correcting the second time. There are some seating options inside and a little area outside which was nice to sit on a pleasant day.

Been here once before years back. Nice to find a cafe that's open late. Wasn't too packed and it was quiet and a good temperature inside which I enjoyed & it made us comfortable to hang out for a while. I just got a flourless chocolate cake and cappuccino. Cake was sooo good and a nice size slice. Cappuccino was below average though and since it's a cafe that's kinda disappointing. My friend said her chai latte tasted like milk as well. Probably will come back as they have some cool affogato and coffee options I'd like to try!

A very cute Italian cafe in the heart of Rice Village and as can be expected kinda expensive. We were hungry after all the morning walk in Hermann Park and made a big order of Latte with extra shot, Caprese avocado toast, pistachio biscotti, and a fruit tart. Afterall, I had to make up for the 200 calories I burned just now .... Lol We took the little private looking booth inside the cafe, but they do have plenty seating area outside as well. Loved the toast, it's literally avocado on toast, but with the cheese and balsamic vinegar on top, it really came together as a light tasty healthy breakfast The biscotti was ok. Coffee was nice, but I should mention extra hot next time. The tart , hmmm, was Not good. The crust was really hard, there was too much custard that had lost its moisture and was unsavory. Service was fast and they brought out the food to the table. The staff put on a professional behavior which is perfectly acceptable by me. What I loved even more free parking (but limited) in an area which had plenty shade for my precious new car, maybe that time of the day..... whatever, but that felt welcoming.

Went here with my girlfriend on our first date. Beautiful place! great coffee! Fast service! Reasonably priced. Definitely our go to spot when we are walking around city center and we just want to have a coffee and a long conversation about anything and everything! :) Thats what we did! Ever since it was history. Thank you Fellini! For giving me and my girlfriend/ soon to be wife a wonderful experience and a new safe haven to enjoy a cup of joe! ;) -Santangelo Balli Gonzales

Met up with a friend here to hang out. This place has fantastic vibes. It's clean, fresh, and sharp. It was also not crowded, and it was easy to have a conversation comfortably. I got an affogato al cafe and it was good. They have a ton of gelato choices, and I recommend asking the staff for recommendations. The gelato was a little too sweet for my liking and it's a bit pricy (~$7), but you get 3 full scoops. Overall I had a positive experience here!

I came here, I believe, on Tuesday last week, while waiting for the 24 hour fitness to open. The fitness was supposed to open early but they changed to 5:30 pm. I was there around 4 pm. So, instead of going back to the hotel and then driving again, we decided to give this place a shot and maybe get something to eat as well. My partner and I got 2 cups of coffee and a flatbread to share. The place was nice and clean, with lots of sweet items to select. They were tempting. The tables were small but cozy. I got mocha. It was so-so. I didn't get that much of an espresso taste from it. And about the flatbread.... well, I wish we were able to receive it. We waited until almost 5:30.. finished our coffee before that, however, flatbread was not found. I was a little hungry before, but while waiting I got more hungry. After waiting waaay long time we decided to cancel it, which I hated to do it. but we literally waited for an hour. If they told us that it would take that long we would order something else in the first place. Overall, I had a very bad experience with this place.

This place is amazing Fantastic breakfast and coffee spot Very nice atmosphere and the staff are friendly and very helpful Truly the best americano coffee I've ever had Avocado toast is the best

This used to be one of my favorite spot in the Rice Village. Yesterday we came here for coffee and desserts after eating at Kasra. The place has not been the same. Slow service and staffs didn't look friendly. We had the puff pastry strawberry and it taste like it had been in the glass window for many days. We ordered some tea and coffee and it took a long time even though it was almost closing time and there were no one at the ordering lines beside us. After this time , I don't think I want to come back anymore Coffee is not great and so the desserts

WHEN: Monday @ 1pm Not a busy time at all, only a few people studying or meeting at the cafe. It's a cute Italian cafe right in rice village. It was the closest cafe to where I was staying at the apt complex. I walked by it everyday during our nightly strolls. It's a decent size cafe with lots of gelato flavors, Italian pastries and espresso coffees options. SERVICE Friendly service, staff are welcoming. WHAT I ORDERED Caprese avocado toast + egg $9.50 I had high expectations to try this avo toast bc my cousin talked about it a lot. It was kinda mediocre at best. The avocado slices aren't ripped, the whole grain toast was too dry and balsamic vinaigrette didn't so much to it. I added the egg for more protein, the egg was cooked excellent with running egg yolk. I wasn't a fan of the avo toast there. I can make way better avo toast, it was a new type of avo toast to try in a new city. Now I know I won't order it anymore. I recommend trying their other cafe items like lavazza cafe, espressos, Italian pastries or even their gelato. I wish I tried their gelato instead. That's for next time.

Great service- gelato, lots of great options, and diverse menu. We did ask for the crème- and I think the person heard us ask for cream cake. Cannoli looks like it's made filled per order. And chocolate & cherry gelati were good!!!

First off, we used to LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. It used to be busy and have life and a vibe that was buzzing, the cases were full of fresh deserts and savory items. That's all gone. It seems like there's a new owner who does not want to spend the money to fill the cases. There are 2 croissants in the left case and it looks sparse and bare. The desserts look old. The staff doesn't care if you're there or not. They offer no extra words such as "thank you", "how can I help", "what can I get you?", nothing. They stare at you while you decide what you want and then just ring it up and then you're supposed to tip them. The lady asked us if it was "for here" but she still put our drinks in to go cups and brought it to our table. This is something I really hate. Cappuccinos are not good in a paper cup, just ask a real italian. Anyway, we live in Austin and this was always one of our stops but I think this is our last time here. If the owners gave up on it, it's time for us to give up on it too.

I didn't know this place was in the area until I drove around and saw reviews for this place, I had to try! After having dinner nearby, my boyfriend and I came here to check out their desserts because I wanted something sweet. They have a good variety of gelato, Italian Coffee, pasteries and even hand filled cannolis! I litearlly wanted to order one of everything If I wasn't already so full from dinner. I ordered an affogato al cafe with stracciatella ice cream and a mini strawberry fruit tart. My boyfriend got a medium cup of pistachio ice cream which was actually alot more than he expected. Everything tasted so good when we got to sit down and enjoy our food. The pistachio ice cream was VERY pistachio, not like blue bell's pistachio but really tasted like the actually pistachio nut. The affogato was also very delicious, some bitterness from the espresso but sweetness from the vanilla and chocolate chips that was sitting in the espresso. The fruit tart was so fresh with cream and strawberry slices and the tart was crispy and flakey. I would definitely come back to get dessert again. The cafe has lots of space to sit and tall tables for groups of friends to sit together, 4-6 or individual studying areas. I think they have an upstairs as well but I didn't go upstairs to take a look but saw a group of kids coming downstairs Definitely will be coming back for more goodies, spend time with friends and enjoy fairly priced pastries!

Good drip coffee, was Lavazza, and they added some steamed milk for me which was a nice touch. The creme brulee was good and the espresso con panna looked great but I didn't try it. Very nice staff that day, super accommodating.

A scene from Italy in the heart of Rice Village, Fellini Cafe's second Houston location is a saccharine space. I have frequented this coffee spot for years but became a weekly regular in the final semester of my Lamar University online Masters program last spring. Fellini merits a mention on my degree, given the Sunday afternoon hours I accrued at the same table writing and polishing assignments before submission. For this Nutella fiend, the Kinder gelato, a staple flavor available most weekends, makes for a perfect two-to-three scoop cup or a marvelous milkshake. I take a small slice of credit for the cafe deciding to offer shakes like its other location in Town and Country. The cheesecake and Creme Brulee are magnificent, as are the fruit tarts and the Diplomat variations. On a sweltering day, a disposable cup brimming with ice water from one of the two clear plastic jugs next to the entrance doors is a bastion of refreshment. The ambiance is delightful with a setting that instantly transports me to a Genoa cafe in 2018 where the most popular specialty was an espresso drink suffused with Nutella, similar to the Espresso Nocciolato Fellini offers via its Lavazza Treats menu. The sweet victuals keep my tastebuds enthralled, but the service has always been the cafe's most addictive feature. I come back because Mike, Monse, Fernanda, and David (I think that's his name) greet me warmly each time and make me feel appreciated and special. Anybody can serve Lavazza beverages, but only Fellini does it with this level of care. Fernanda carefully wielding a petite blow torch to caramelize and crisp the sugar she spreads on the creamy custard makes the Creme Brulee an elevated treat. Houston's sprawling urban metropolis includes many standout coffeehouses. None make me feel cozier or more at home than Fellini.

Well, we were hoping to get a cup of hot latte and side dessert...unfortunately, bad service and bad food. First, coffee is almost cold!!! Deserts are mehhh...My husband ordered a chiken salad but they forgot to make it!!!... Very nice, especially it was very few people and the girl from reception was sitting and checking her phone. DO NOT recommend Cold coffee Unskilled barista Mediocre deserts Bad service

Such a cute & aesthetic place with great customer service! I can totally see myself doing work here The drinks, however, was not good :( We got the ice latte and white chocolate mocha latte. The ice latte tasted like milk with a weird rubbery aftertaste. The white chocolate didn't taste like white chocolate, more like sweet milk. The pastry was hard.

Cute little cafe in Rice Village! You can either park on the street or there is garage parking nearby. They serve a variety of pastries and sweets, coffee, gelato, and tea. I like that they recently added name tags to each dessert because before I had to ask what pastry is what. Most times I come by, I get a pastry. I don't drink coffee or tea much but I like their hot chai latte. They sprinkle cinnamon on top. People typically come here to use their laptop or meet up with someone for a chit-chat. They always have a large dispenser of free cold water available. There's also outdoor seating. Bathrooms are one stall per gender and kept clean.

Been looking for a place with great cannoli in Houston after visiting Italy. So glad I found this place. The cannoli are made to order so you don't get a soggy cannolo. I got two pistachio filling cannoli. Shell was super crisp and crunchy, but not overcooked. The filling was light and flavorful. Very happy.

Cute spot for a chill Sunday breakfast/brunch. They have variety of beverages, meals, pastries, and gelato! I ordered the avocado toast and an iced coffee. My friend and I sat outside at a shaded table. Overall, really good experience and would visit again!

I cannot say enough about this place. The service is amazing. The people are all great at what they do, serving, cooking, or creating their amazing drinks! Their coffee is absolutely delicious and can get about any infinite combinations of flavors and can opt for sugar-free if you wanted!!!! All dishes are made with love and care! Will always be a favorite of mine!

A sad Cappuccino. Service is slow. Lady at the counter has the longest nails I have ever seen, which is pretty gross considering she is serving food to the public.. anyway. Coffe was very average. Very low standards for coffee products. Pastry was delicious. 18$ for 3 mini tarts, one cappuccino and a double espresso.

Favorite cafe. Stopped by after yoga to grab a matcha latte and a muffin. Staff were friendly, inside was clean and the ambience was nice. My favorite items are their Matcha and Chai lattes.

I like Fellini, it's a little modern Italian coffee shop tucked in Rice Village caddy corner from 24Hr fitness. There are an array of pastry goods. The tea and coffee selection is nice. I like that there is ample space to sit and read, particularly a couch in the back that is quiet. My only critique is I wish the place were cleaned a bit more meticulously. I felt like there were dusty corners and areas with obvious signs of wear. If it were cleaner I would come back more, but the staff seems to maybe wipe down the obvious areas and let other spaces go untouched which can add up over time. I can be a little OCD obviously. Otherwise it was a great little coffee shop.

Have had many meetings here over the last few years- strong coffee, nice people. I'll be back!

Lovely cafe... big portions. Definitely i'll be back soon. Can be difficult to get a seat

It's in a super cute area and you can park out front or in the parking lot by local foods. They have a lot of coffee options, food, and gelato. The outdoor seating looked cute as well.

although at one time this place was good, it's a no go from now on for me. second time in a row for slow service (over 20 min to receive a sandwich in a nearly empty establishment) and terrible food that's not as billed on menu and not edible. today I ordered croissant chicken salad. instead I received a terrible mash of corn , carrots and a few pieces of chicken. no walnuts, no grapes , none of the previous chicken salad I've received at Fellini. it was inedible it was so bad. I simply left. Wasted money and time. don't go to this place. perhaps it has new owners or a lost its chef. absolutely the worst dining experience. attempted to leave info in the restaurant web site, nada as it didn't work. not surprised.

Consistently amazing! Friendly staff and never a bitter latte! Food is so good too! Exceptional! Ambiance is so relaxing!

Let me begin by saying I used to love this place, and I wish so badly I could give it at least 2 stars because it has SO much potential, but there is not a single positive word I can say about this place besides the restroom is clean. I went here for a date a few years prior and this hole-in-the-wall had left me pleasantly surprised. However, upon returning today, I had the worst experience. When we arrived, we were not greeted and I had to greet the two workers first. I had then asked for the only table with a couch to be cleaned since my partner and I both have back problems and a hard chair would be awful since we came to study for awhile. Both workers exchanged glances and one replied "ok", but it took 5 minutes for the girl to actually begin to walk over and clean the table. For context, the cafe was dead. After she cleaned it, the girl left the tables on the couch and when I asked her if we could get the section done so we could sit, she told me to take the tables down myself and that it was available. What? I am a humble person, but this felt intentionally rude and lazy. It would have taken seconds to set them back down after sweeping. I dont know of any establishment that lraves tables upside down on top of furniture during open hours. When we went to sit, there was still pieces of bread on the couch and in between the cushions, and coffee drips were stained on the tables. We then ordered food. After all, the pastries are what we came for. We were so excited to have quality desserts and drove 50 minutes to come here! However, the mini tart pastry, as well as the ricotta stuffed beignet, were stale and hard. When I mentioned this to the girl, she replied that she had one earlier and it was fine. Besides the impoliteness of her comment, my experience was disregarded. On top of that, who would want to pay nearly $10 for "fine" pastries? She asked, "so do you want it refunded or what?", to which I said yes and while standing there waiting for my receipt, she walked away from me. After turning back around and realizing I'm still standing there, she asked if I wanted a receipt. "Yes please." She sighed, went under the cabinet, grabbed more receipt paper, refilled the machine, and the machine probably printed 20 tickets before mine came out. How many people did you skip giving receipts to? After all of that, I asked for water with lemon. "We don't use lemon here. We don't use that here. Water is over there." And proceeded to point to the corner of the cafe. Lemon zest is on the menu... Tired of the back and forth, I went to get water. Please, I'm not kidding when I say it took SO LONG for my cup to fill up. The water container poured so...slow. It couldn't have been from poor pressure or low water level either, it was half full! I wanted a good experience. I used to love this place! At least the bathrooms are clean.

I stopped by Fellini for a quick snack mostly upon the insistence of my sister who's a big fan of their fruit tarts. It was a little pricey but looked delicious, so I opted for one as a dessert after lunch. I found the custard filling and fresh fruit delicious, but the crust was very tough. Overall a decent tart if you don't mind a thick/crunchy crust. As for the other offerings, I saw gelato and several pastries that looked pretty tasty. The space is nice for studying with several tables and a water station, and has a good amount of outdoor seating as well. If I'm in the area, I wouldn't mind stopping buy for a sweet treat and study sesh.

Maybe it was just the day I went, but the cafe au lait tasted more like water than either milk or coffee. I thought it was maybe just their drip machine that wasn't working well, but my friend got an iced americano and it tasted very burnt with an unusual aftertaste. Still hoping to give them another chance in the future though and bank on this being a one-off visit. The ambiance was great though with outlets along the wall and is quiet without only conversations instead of music. An employee also saw that we were wiping crumbs off the table we got to and he immediately came over to properly clean it which was really appreciated!

Location: Northside of Rice Village in a very cozy area ,close to enough to walk to Rice Village , but far enough to have it's own tree lined outdoor seating area. Interior: Very clean and bright. Approximatley 5 tables that seat anywhere from 2 to 4 people and two large tables that seat 6 . The area behind the counter is also very well kept and the food displays are very well organized Customer Service: Very professional "10 Star staff "here ! -unlike all the other coffee shops who have ghetto people or young teeny boppers who tend to have little or no experience with all that pertains to the art of cafè. Quality of Coffee and other beverages:: If you are coffee conaseur , who seeks ambiance, and one who seeks great customer service , then this is it. The Question: This is the only cafe we have gone to for the past 3 months while we are here in Houstons Medical Center area. Recommendation: Classy relaxing jazz music outside and inside. In the realm of Duke Ellington,Dave Peck, Lucky Thompson , and the Tord Gustavsen Trio.

Cozy little italian cafe. It offers typical italian coffee, drinks, patties and light bites. A few items are a bit pricier than your average coffee shop. Overall delicious food and good coffee

Super cute brunch location with great indoor and outdoor seating options. I decided on the cortado and salmon bagel, which were both extremely delicious. This was my first time ordering a cortado, and I'll definitely be ordering more in the future. The taste is similar to that of an espresso, but significantly milkier and not as bitter. Not only did it get my caffeine fix in, but also served as a great beverage to casually sip on. Moving on, I highly recommend the salmon bagel. Consisting of some pickled red onion, cream cheese, salmon, arugula, as well as some fruits; it hit everything I could ask for in a brunch meal. The cream cheese that they spread on the bagel was delicate, not overpowering the smokey flavors of the salmon. The bagel itself was also nicely toasted, adding to the freshness that the entire breakfast provided. The arugula and red onion was also a nice touch, adding significant dimension to the flavor palette. 5 stars

Yummy gelato and yummy pastry for sure ! No off days and has been quite consistent. Nice interior environment and friendly staff.

I have been a loyal Fellini customer since they opened. Unfortunately, they refused to honor my $50 gift card and said that their system won't accept it, but said nothing about how I can get my money back and refused to give me a clear avenue to talk with a manager or owner. So, now I am being penalized for investing in their company.

I was a bit dissapointed in the quality of the coffee. Honestly it just wasnt very good for the price. I really loved the avocado toast, though - I added and egg which I definitely recomend!!! Will try the pastries next time because I hear that is what theyre famous for.

One of the best cafes in Houston. Good strong espresso drinks with good service. Im

Good place to get a cup of coffee after work or school. Tried their matcha latte and it was decently priced. Tasted good too. It's more of a take-your-date place than a study place so don't go there to study...not a lot of outlets. Parking was kind of hard to find though at around 6-8 pm.

I love the gelato here. Pistachio and mango are my favorite. Great service. Wonderful friendly ambience

Took my mom here to enjoy coffee and dessert after finishing dinner. I have to say the decaf coffee was more memorable than the desserts this time. We got the tiramisu, which was delicious, but the mini cannoli fell flat - the filling was good but nothing special. As for the roll cake, great concept to achieve those vertical layers of cake and riccota cream, but ate a little impractical. I would say flavor and texture wise the latter was my favorite, but there were some issues. The cream topping the first roll cake we received was entirely hard on top. I brought it to the front and pressed on the cream part with my finger to prove I was not kidding and that it was not a refrigeration problem (as insisted) but rather a freshness problem. They replaced it immediately, which I appreciated. A little disappointed but 4 stars still I have had good experiences in the past and hope this is just an idiosyncrasy.

I've been coming here for 2 years now. Freaking adore the staff here! From the cooks to the baristas. EVERYONE is so amazing. My fav drink is Matcha and ice cappuccino both w/ oat or almond milk lavender & vanilla. Looking for tasting something new just ask one of the fellas/ladies to whip up something. The assistant manager he is just so knowledgeable and the people he's trained are as well. Love it here!

Lots of natural light. Nice patio. Good breakfast, and great service from Amanda, Sophia and the crew.

Pretty good. We come here around 9:30AM. There seems no table available inside. We choose a outside table and enjoy the fresh air. Food and service are always good.

Went with a coworker for a quick meeting around 2 PM Parking: they have metered parking or you can park around the corner for free on the street Atmosphere: there was actually a good amount of people there considering how late we went. Overall it wasn't too quiet not too loud. We were able to have a conversation without any problem. They have an open space with seats inside and also a front patio for outside seating Food/Drinks: my coworker ordered a specific type of drink and they didn't make it right. She's not one to complain so she just sucked it up. I had iced coffee with Almond milk and it wasn't anything special. Overall it was very average. It was kind of dirty inside and there was a foul odor that became unbearable so my coworker and I went outside instead. It was like onions and smoke combined.

I had breakfast here around 8am on a weekday. Great service, delicious food, good coffee, nice outdoor patio, and cool (air-conditioned) interior. Didn't have any, but the pastries looked good too.

Delicious coffee and excellent service. Iced cappuccino was perfectly balanced. The ice tea was also delicious and steeped and then poured over ice.
