“The ladies here were so nice and gave us a free bear claw donut! First time in the Angleton area and next time we will definitely come back. Friendly and delicious! 👍🏼⭐️“

“I ordered a custom cake for my daughter in laws baby shower this past weekend. The cake was gorgeous and so delicious. Exactly what I envisioned. My husband said it was the best tasting cake he has ever had. I highly recommend Sweet Bee Bakehouse. Thank you !“

“Delicious definitely coming back 😋“

“Wonderful desserts and super friendly!!“

“Best bakery hands down! Worth a drive from Katy, Texas!“

“I absolutely LOVED Great Harvest Bakery & Cafe! I am not sure why I took so long to visit. The bread is fresh and exquisite!!! They have a variety of breakfast and lunch options. The staff is fantastic, informative and friendly! Must try for yourself!“

“We went to try this bakery this morning and were greeted by a very nice woman loading the new pastries on the shelves. It is very clean and organized. Pastries were very fair priced and delicious. We tried a variety of things and they were all very good. They also have desserts made for big events or if you don’t have time to whip something together after dinner. Brownies, lemon tarts, pies, cakes, cinnamon rolls etc. The only thing I hope to see in the future are a few tables and some coffee. I highly recommend going here if you love croissants, both savory and sweet, muffins and scones.“

“Everything is A+ very friendly!“

“So good staff was nice will come back“

“My wife and I recently got married and we got our cake through Cakes by Jula. The design was exactly what we asked for, so beautiful, and so many of our guests told us it was the greatest cake they’ve ever had! It was very moist, flavorful, and perfectly balanced! 10/10 service and product. If we ever need a cake for an event, we’re calling Jula!“

“Wow, not only were the delicious cookies exactly what we were hoping for (cute and tasty), we experienced phenomenal service. Thanks so much for making our holiday better with the sweet gingerbread house, ginger cookies, and sugar cookies. Highly recommend trying them if you haven't already.“

“One of the cookies tasted mostly like cookie dough I didn't mind too much but it caught me off guard . The other 2 were good but super sweet and in my opinion there was a little bit too much icing. More icing than cookie. I did get the mini ones though so maybe the proportions are a little different from the big ones. The cookies taste better cold in my opinion.“

“I have to give a HUGE shoutout to Jenny's Bakery - Nassau Bay & Pearland/Friendswood for the best birthday cake! Friend and I shared a birthday weekend and we (obviously) have different baseball teams. We couldn’t find anything online and we described what we wanted and they hit it out of the park! (Pun intended) couldn’t be happier and it exceeded our expectations!“

“This is a very outstanding Kolache place on this side of town, the kolaches are absolutely delicious and can serve as a perfect meal for a busy weekday and sometimes even a relaxed weekend. The atmosphere is also very nice given that the restaurant is usually clean and the staff is very courteous and customer service orienting. The only draw back is that they a close a little too soon which usually results in those good kolaches running out due to the high demand. Overall, this is a fine Kolache establishment, it has my complete endorsement and I will definitely be coming back here again.“

“I got a Red Velvet cake to celebrate my 60th birthday. It is the best low carb / gluten free cake anybody in my family has ever had. Every interaction via text so sweet and informational. It was so easy to order and pay for my cake. The cake was worth every single penny!! I will definitely make the trip from Spring to get these delicious baked goods anytime. 💕💕“

“makes yummy cakes very creative inspiring and loving“

“Customer service is awesome. Everything is yummy.“

“As my wife said, “Rise to Rescue”!! We had a late in the season family Christmas gathering and I had been tasked with the cookie decorating contest. I thought, “how hard could it be? Just go to YT and learn how to make icing, right?” Wrong. Outside of the deception on food network and kids baking championships, I knew nothing about cookies, icing or ‘piping’ other than throwing out those words occasionally-“hold on y’all let me throw these in the chiller real quick!” In normal male fashion, I called Rise Cupcakes the day before the event and the girl on the other end suggested the cookie decorating kit: 8 shortbread cookies-cut into holiday themes, 4 tubes of icing, and sprinkles. It was $28 at the time of this posting. I felt like a fool. I had budgeted a significant amount more money for this task than thirty dollars 🤦‍♂️. I clearly have no knowledge about the cost of these things OR this cookie kit is just an outstanding deal! They normally ask for a 3 day notice but they were very kind in working out the “rush” job with me. Went the next day, picked up the kit and that evening, kids AND adults got to decorating! Rise deserves 5 stars from me because 1) always super friendly and customer first attitudes 2) great selection of baked goods. I must confess, I’ve been going to rise since I moved back to the area almost 10 years ago. We have used them for big events (300+ cookie orders, their custom cakes, custom cookie orders, all the holidays and ofc a frequent flyer of the shop. Shame on me for just now writing a review. 3) Selection. It’s a bakery…if you want it fresh, you need to get there early in the week for cookies, cupcake selection is little bit stronger. But I’m a cookie guy, personally. 4) Design. They have an outstanding design artist(s) working there. The cutest artwork on themed cookies, for the holidays, seasons, and hometown teams. Last and certainly not least 5) Taste. If I had to pick my favorite cookie…idk…I love their chocolate chip, creme brulee cookie, buttercream pumpkin cookie, the shortbread is very good just by itself-add icing and it’s a very sweet treat! Don’t make me decide!!! 🙈. I love their cinnamon rolls-but if you want that, you have to special order. I think since learning they made them I’ve only seen them on the counter twice. Brownies, blondies, lemon bars, everything in between. The cakes are very special. You can choose between one and two tiers, they decorate with the fondant just like you see on cake boss; the taste is amazing. The texture and consistency of moist to dry and flavor is like my kids at school say, “a chef’s kiss” I left the long review with the different parts because nobody is perfect, and not any one business is going to 5 stars, 100% all the time every day. But Rise is so strong in all of those categories that when one thing might be a little off, the other areas make up for it. If for some reason you aren’t satisfied, go back and try something else. Like I said, I’m not a cupcake guy. But I love cookies. And I’m grateful to Rise for being local, small business, home grown, and absolutely delectable when it comes to treats. They will always be a favorite in our family.“

“They made cupcakes for my mother in law's birthday and also a cake for my granddaughter's birthday. They are very easy to work with and the cupcakes and cake were all very cute and tasted great.“

“My son is a huge Great American Cookie Co. fan and was determined to have one for his groom’s cake at his wedding. I was hesitant at first because I really wanted him to have something that resembled more of a tiered cake. With the help of Lameka Hadnot and Monigua Murphy, at the Baybrookmall Mall store in Webster, my son and I both got what we wanted. Thank you two so much for helping to make my son’s wedding special! Y’all are the best. The cookie cake looked amazing and tasted even better.“

“absolutely fantastic coffee, homemade syrups, hand Crafted sandwiches enough to share!“

“Unplanned to take a pic of my food but they didn’t survive the car ride home. Not sure if I was just that hungry or if they were that delicious… or just the consequence of a 10 minute drive home.

I got the sausage and cheese kolache and a brisket kolache. They were kinda small. I guess I could have asked for a large? The server didn’t really ask… it’s was my first time so didn’t really know what to ask. Food was a little cold… 30 seconds in the microwave wasn’t enough.

Both were kinda good… not terrific. I usually go to Shipleys or Mornings for my kolaches so I kinda have high standards. I may give them another try.“

“If one good thing came out of Hurricane Katrina, it’s the diffusion of the culture from Louisiana into the borders of Harris County. This bakery is the perfect example of the best Louisiana has to offer, and I am very thankful and fortunate to have them in my area.“

“This place is consistently good! I have visited other kolache factories in the Houston area, and this is my favorite! Emily always greets us with a smile and the owner is equally friendly. They have a great Rewards program, and I love finding their coupons on the back of H-E-B receipts.“

“The donuts, kolaches, and Danish are delicious! The donuts are fluffy, delicious, and not too sweet.

Parking: The small strip center has gas pumps taking up part of the lot, and there's parking for four businesses. So, there are not a lot of spaces, but I have always found a space.

Kid-friendliness: The store is quiet and small, but there's no kid zone.“

“I bought my son's 1st birthday cake here, and it was AWESOME!!!! The taste and decorations were on point!! I will be ordering all my cake from here!! And, of course, their other bakery items are amazing!! Thank you Carmelitos Bakery for making my baby boy's birthday so special!!“

“Everything we bought was great. The owner is very nice.“

“Best breakfast tacos anywhere! Every time I come down from Fort Worth, Martinez breakfast tacos are an absolute must have. I have eaten some of their other food and it is really good too, but the breakfast tacos are insanely good. Do yourself a favor and add the green sauce to your tacos!“

“Delicious fresh kolaches with so many filling options it is almost overwhelming. My favorite was the ham and Swiss but you can’t go wrong with the sausage filled one either. Their coffee leaves a lot to be desired but there is a coffee shop next door that we didn’t get a chance to try.“

“Shout out to a very nice young man who works there named Adam. I can't reach my favorite yogurt, and he went out of his way and graciously got it for me. I appreciate it very much.“

“Great pie’s hands down! And the free samples!“

“Let me tell yall something. Yesterday I needed some cupcake therapy. I accidentally went to the wrong place but I was at another bakery so I said let me buy something. I came home and was highly disappointed. I threw the cupcakes away. Today, I made sure I had the right address and let me just sum it up in one word, DELICIOUS! It was worth me driving from Texas City on my day off. Hands down the best place to get cupcakes!“

“great location, I like all the shopping stores there“

“Great food and I love the banquet room- so cozy and chic.“

“Owner is very nice and people working here are very friendly. This is the first time I have ordered a carrot cake ?. Cake was so rich of flavor. I don’t think I have ever eaten Such a delicious cake before. One peice of cake will knock you out. Thanks ?“

“So friendly, great cold brew and yummy kolaches. The manager remembered me when I came in today and made sure my coffee was to my liking. This will definitely be my new breakfast place. They friendly staff makes for a great start to my morning :)“

“Came here after having brunch next door at Torchy’s. This store is run by a very sweet family, who greeted us with smiles and suggestions. Their cookies are super soft and fresh. Really cannot go wrong with anything you get here. There is plenty of parking. We got the sugar cookie and blue berry muffin cookie. Both are super delicious!“

“Nothing Bundt Cakes is an absolute delight! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm, welcoming atmosphere and the enticing aroma of freshly baked bundt cakes. Every flavor I’ve tried has been perfectly moist, rich, and flavorful, with just the right balance of sweetness. Their signature cream cheese frosting is heavenly—smooth, creamy, and never overly sweet. The Red Velvet and Chocolate Chocolate Chip are personal favorites, but each cake is uniquely delicious.

The presentation is beautiful, making these cakes perfect for any celebration or gift. The staff is friendly, helpful, and makes sure every detail is perfect. Nothing Bundt Cakes is a must-try if you love high-quality baked goods that taste as good as they look. I’ll definitely be coming back!“
