“Had an amazing fried chicken and waffle that was just put on the menu. The bartender/barista was incredibly friendly and made a great Americano. Going at odd hours of the day, I got to see the team interact with one another organically. It was a great experience and there are outlets under the bar for remote workers.“
“The service and food are top-notch. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner. She was telling me all about the desserts and made some excellent recommendations on which ones to try. It's a family owned and family run business. I highly recommend giving them a try.“
“I always stop by after my workout for one of the juices in the menu and I have never been disappointed. The service is so good, everyone is super friendly and the juices are very good. My favorite is the Anti flammaberry, i could get one every day. They also have detox packages. Highly recommend !“
“This is legit the best vegan bakery I have ever been to in my life. Every single thing they make is uniquely designed and delicious- more tasty than any vegan pastries I have ever had. It doesn’t even matter what flavor it is or type of pastry, everything tastes amazing. If I had thousands of dollars to donate to something, it would be this place.“
“I frequent this location a lot for good reason! The food is of such great quality and the atmosphere is so refreshing. Everyone here is incredibly sweet and willing to help! Jorge especially is such a friendly face. He is so attentive and kind. He made our experience great. I will continue to frequent for as long as I can!“
“Mario Calderon and Danielle Young provided an elevated and professional, prideful service in a beautiful and fresh, well-lit dining room. My avocado chef salad was perfect! I added olives, garbonzos and breadsticks at their famous complimentary condiments bar, where I also found fresh orange slices for my Diet Pepsi. No Coke products was overshadowed by the way they did everything else to perfection.I was especially impressed by their dining room, full of natural light (coming from impressive French doors, French door fashioned windows AND skylights) together with a well-spaced setting area, allowing for ease of conversation.A Houston treasure in Meyerland!“
“My favorite location and my favorite breakfast restaurant (outside of my kitchen) ?.I always have a pleasant experience, and the food is consistently delicious while the ambiance of the atmosphere is always light and airy!I usually get the same items when I patronize the restaurant and love how I can customize them to my liking without any objection.First Watch is always my first priority when considering a good breakfast!Vegetarian options: Many items on the menu could be customized and made vegetarian if you prefer.“
“Cozy and is inside cool shipping container building. I stumbled upon this when I was out up in Houston for an event from my boyfriend and didn't want to go to Starbucks. They are very pet friendly with my cat and let me stay to work while enjoying their drink and atmosphere. I have ordered the Ferro rocher coffee and was surprised that the medium was in a large cup! It tasted delicious. I'm not sure when I will be back since I don't live in Houston, but it is a cute mom and pop shop. Support local businesses!“
“This is my spot! I was put on to the Lavender Latte and it is now my go to! They also give impeccable customer service. Shout out to Marco, Kevin, Julius and everyone I don’t know by name lol. You all are absolutely fantastic, and appreciated.Warmest Regards,Alesha B.“
“Active Passion Coffee is my absolute favorite spot! Seriously, I can't get enough. The vibe is so welcoming, and the food? Oh my goodness. You HAVE to try their Kimchi Grilled Cheese with a fried egg and bacon – it's out of this world. And get this: they make their own kimchi in-house. How cool is that?Their coffee? Let's just say I'm addicted. And the staff? They're like old friends, always there with a smile and ready to chat. Whether you're popping in for a quick pick-me-up or settling in for a lazy brunch, this place nails it. Trust me, you won't regret it. Five stars all the way!“
“I took 8 kids here today. It's a beautiful space & accommodated our group very easily. Shift manager Daniel and the entire staff made us feel so welcome. Service was fast & the food was delicious. Looking forward to coming back soon.“
“This is now my favorite coffee shop. First of all, the music!- I was jamming the whole time. Gave me main character vibes sitting a cute coffee shop, with my matcha latte, lip singing. Lol. ALL the staff I encountered was so so nice. The lady that took my order was super nice and honestly made me feel like I knew her and was a regular. She also remembered my name a couple hours later when she was cleaning up the tables and asked if I was doing okay- by name! Oh, the foccacia with tomatoes was amazing as well. I mean, just go check it out. Love it.“
“I needed to customize a birthday cake for my friend and came across this bakery on Instagram.So far I've tried the pulled pork ube cake and matcha crepe. The cake tastes delicious, light and puffy. The crepe, on the other hand, needs a bit sweeter for my taste.They serve coffee/tea in vintage sets that elaborates your experience here. A nice cozy place for an afternoon tea.“
“Chose this coffee spot as a place to chill before our flight out of houston. Floored on the food - the Chinese sausage tacos were amazing. The tortillas were just right, good portions, right amount of heat, sweet, and texture. Best breakfast taco I've ever had. Wish i had more time in Houston to try their whole menu! Cold brews were good as well!“
“This is such a nice deli! The service is excellent and the to go packing felt so premium. The chicken salad on a croissant was fantastic and paired well with the potato salad. The double chocolate cookie with caramel chips was one of the best cookies I've ever had! They also have a large selection of beer and wine and the decor is very nice and tasteful. Highly recommend!“
“Love this place so far. I've only been a few times but hoping to make it a regular spot. It does get pretty crowded though, especially for Magic events, but they have a calendar that kinda helps you avoid the bigger events. A bit cramped but only because they try to maximize the tables available and very very friendly/accepting.Parking: Their parking area is very limited and people tend to just find spots on the side streets. The area is getting... revamped, so hopefully the street parking stays free or they're able to buy more space.“
“Came here a while back with a friend, and we had a great time! The vibe here is super chill, and it seems like a nice place to study or just hang out. I ordered the taro milk tea, and we also split the cookie butter toast. Both were tasty! We would definitely come back.“
“Hands-down, my favorite coffee shop in Houston. All of the baristas are literally so sweet and care so much about you having a perfect experience. We went in on a Sunday afternoon and we were easily able to find a seat—which I’ve never experienced at any other Houston coffee shop but they literally have so much space and seating it’s lovely. I had both the Pistachio Matcha Latte and Nutella Crepe and both were phenomenal. Will absolutely be returning.“
“Cafetopia is always my FIRST stop for desserts in Houston! I have a sweet tooth but prefers desserts not overly sugary, Cafetopia is just PERFECT for me.Their crepe cakes are definitely standout – just the right balance of sweetness, with a fine, delicate taste. I do think it is better than the big-name brand. And don't even get me started on their cheesecake! It's an absolute delight, with a refreshing cheesy flavor and a perfectly crunchy texture!And most importantly, the reason keeps me being a loyal fan of their cakes is their high-quality ingredients, you can taste the difference in every bite!Definitely worth to give it a try if you appreciate top-notch desserts!“
“Fantastikós! A gem! Super friendly and we loved everything we ordered this first visit. You can tell there is love put into this food! We ate at the restaurant and ordered: Spana omelet (listed under brunch but we had it for dinner) with greens, meat mezze, gigantes, moussaka, lamb wrap with lemon potatoes, spanakopita, mint lemonade and white wine that I can't find on online menus. Plates are great for sharing. The menu there is more extensive than menu I've seen online. Our entire party loved everything (save our picky eater who tried and ate much more than she does at any other restaurant!) The atmosphere is clean, cozy, intimate and warm. I foresee this becoming a family favorite.“
“This place is adorable, perfect for brunch or to meet up with friends and just mingle, it has a nice selection of plants and the drinks are on point. I tried the veggie burger ? it was a total mouth orgasm.Parking: Parking is limited, and you may have to park somewhere else and walk to location.“
“This was a great place to grab lunch from, the food was delicious. The service was really good as well, for being my first time here I can’t wait to get back to tryouts some of the other items on the menu. And for my fellow Coffee drinkers make sure you don’t leave without a Vietnamese iced coffee with milk F2 on the menu. Trust me you will definitely enjoy this drink, if you love coffee as much as I do… ?“
“It’s one of my favorite places to eat in Houston !! The matcha actually taste like matcha and it’s so yummy, I’m obsess with their delicious pastry’s ! The place is really cute and the food is so good ! The one bad thing, I frequently go and love to take pictures and posted them on social media, but their is a girl that works their I don’t know her name buts she is always so rude and bitter makes me uncomfortable whenever I see her working their, I always try to be nice and polite but she gives such a a negative attitude. Last time I went she ask me why I was taking pictures and look at me in a really ugly way I was just taking pictures of the food and the place. Anyways all the other staff is a always really nice and polite. Don’t know her name just she was short black hair. Hope her attitude changes one day ❣️“
“Visiting from out of town and wasn’t sure what to expect but wow was I surprised!I stopped in and ordered the cookie stuffed croissant as a breakfast treat (to go) and this was one of the most decadent and delicious pastries I’ve ever eaten!!Due to how good the croissant was, I returned for dinner and our server was great with recommending a drink (Hanoi Hi Five) which was an explosive of flavors in every sip.As for the food: I had the burger with seasoned fries that I could not stop eating - sooo good! My dinner companion had the fried rice and really enjoyed it noting it was as spicier than expected but in a good way.The highlight (no pun intended) was the service. Everyone was warm, welcoming, and friendly. Can’t wait to return.“
“2nd cup is right alright, you can't drink just 1 latte.... the secret squirrel latte is my heaven in a cup here. Im not too keen on the name (in a bronx accent). "Come on! i got grey hair here for crying out loud!" Ok ok I will swallow my pride and mumble "let me have the secret squirrel latte please" thank you Melissa bring your own cup and save the planet.“
“No question why this place gets non stop 5 star reviews! The food is AMAZING. Very fresh ingredients, homemade recipes, very reasonable pricing, and they have delivery partners! Super yummy! 10/10 recommend this place! P.S. this is an unsolicited review... Just had to hype up the variety and service.“
“We had a convention in downtown Houston, and a few of us decided to go check out some local retailers and stopped in and had lunch at Barnaby's. It was such a beautiful day that we sat outside and enjoyed the day. The turkey sandwich was bomb with cranberry sauce. The pickels were also in point.“
“It's the original and not to be duplicated by any other. A true staple of Houston and South Houston. Service is always on point, cleanliness at 100 and fast ordering. The coffee is fire. Get here early if you want to get a hold of those fajita kolaches. Those are bliss“
“Cool cafe tucked away on busy Bissonnet street, stopped by here while stuck on traffic on the way home and was surprised to have such a cozy and nice cafe to hang out. The cafe is extremely clean and well kept and the service was top notch with our server being very attentive and quick. The food had great taste and the coffee was excellent and hit the spot. Don’t go in here though expecting a more casual coffee shop style place because it’s more of a “dine-in” kind of cafe, they do however have a full assortment of coffee, lattes and cappuccinos however. Would recommend this place to have a date though as the ambience of the place is great and inviting while being classy at the same timeParking: Free parking but limited amount of spots“
“it was a wonderful experience, Xoxhilth, was wonderful, very attentive, and kind, I hope that she will be available to help me when ever I go to cafe express, please give her a bonus because she deserves that and more.Avita Sonia FlournoyParking: you need more handicap parking, and the parking that is air-marked for the to-go orders are always taken by the customers front the restaurant next door. that should not be happening, you need to advocate for your customers“
“This was our first time dining here. I am sad that we have not been enjoying this place for years! We started with the escargot and charcuterie board. Excellent. The escargot was exactly the same that we eat in France. We had the trout dish and snapper which were cooked perfectly. I can't wait to return and try more dishes.“
“This is a great local cafe in the area! There is plenty of seating and I love the vibes here. There are a lot of windows, so this cafe gets plenty of natural lighting. There's also outdoor seating too if the weather is nice enough outside to sit out there and enjoy it. There is also plenty of parking since the parking lot is big in this plaza. I have honestly not tried any of the bakery or food items here yet. I've only tried the vanilla latte (hot) and morning matcha latte (iced). Both drinks are delicious. The morning matcha latte typically comes with oat milk (unless you ask otherwise), and I felt like it made it taste really good. It wasn't overly sweet, but was sweet just enough for me. I liked how clean, modern, and spacious the cafe is. I will definitely be back to try out the food items some time!“
“I have a nutrition certification and this place passes all of my tests for good quality food. I got decaf coffee and the eggless pancakes. Great! You must try it. They make all of their food from scratch and make a lot of homemade sauces. So worth going!“
“What an extremely pleasant surprise - I've walked by this place in the tunnels more times than I can count, and I am so glad I finally stopped in. The folks working both the front and the kitchen were as nice as can be. Incredibly fresh ingredients make all the difference here. I'll absolutely be back!“
“Hidden gem in downtown. The service is amazing, they really cater to the clientele. The wifi is really fast and never goes down, so you can bring your work, order some food and enjoy a drink (Great place for meetings - music isn't too lound). Also its very clean, you can tell by the bathrooms that are spot on, and because its at the park there is often friendly security and casual dog-walkers wondering the park so you feel safe and it makes for a comfortable atmosphere. You do have to be careful about downtown parking signs so not to get a ticket.Parking: Street parking is available, must read signs.“
“Absolutely delicious, a must try! I ordered the chicken pesto, crêpe, the very berry crêpe…. They both were amazing! The service was awesome the atmosphere was nice as well. Only regrets is that I didn’t visit twice while I was in Houston! Everybody in the group that went with me talked about how delicious their food was.“
“Came here for a book club meeting. Great atmosphere, decent parking for the area that it is in. And the food was good with service that didn't feel rushed or slow. Clean bathrooms, and the selection of food was pretty good as well. Not too expensive either.“
“Brunch with family , the place is really kid friendly, the food is great , the service staff is awesome , seating space is large , the parking are a little hard , a must-visit destination for crepe lovers. The new menu is great for kid who love fruit and sweets .Kid-friendliness: Kid love the place lol“
“I have been here a couple of times and I think their coffee is delicious. I think it is also kind of out of my price range, but it is some of my favorite coffee even though I don’t really drink coffee. I also have a T-shirt of this coffee shop because that is how much I love it. My partner gave it to me thankfully, and I love him. As always, much love from Houston and the universe.Parking: its a small lotKid-friendliness: good for family“
“My FAVORITE coffee shop, hands down!Love that it has ample parking, indoor seating, a conference room you can rent, and a drive-thru! Felix is sunshine in human form and always brings a smile to my face!! Can’t say enough great things about this place.“
“We're Dough is a Mediterranean breakfast gem! Their menu boasts a delightful fusion of flavors, from savory pastries to sweet options. With cozy ambiance and friendly service, it's the perfect spot to start your day with authentic Mediterranean cuisine.“
“Empire Cafe consistently has some of the best bites in the city. My personal faves are the nutty chicken pizza (pictured) ,roasted red pepper hummus, and chicken tortilla soup when they have it! They also make a fantastic prickly pear margarita and espresso martini! Love the atmosphere and the longevity of this Houston staple should tell you all you need to know !“
“Always a pleasant experience at First Watch, had the purple haze lemonade which was delightfully sweet and refreshing and not too tart with the BLT Eggs Benedict with seasoned potatoes. Hubby had the tropical sunrise juice with a Parma skillet hash, and we split a French toast. The perfect brunch meal that we were looking for.“
“Went here after work with some friends as we wanted to try something different. Jose, was very welcoming, and walked us through the menu explaining very patiently the food from his country and helped us make our selections.As we waited for our orders he treated us to sample some of his delectable mince meat empanadas . We were very hungry from a long days work so we scarf those down as we sat outside to enjoy the evening.Our food arrived promptly to our table side, and our taste buds couldn’t be happier. I had the pabellón empanada, fresh squeezed pineapple juice with guava & Cheese pastelito. Everything was delicious.Towards the end of our meal, Jose surprised us with the most delicious coffee we have ever had to seal our night. You gotta come here and try the their house coffee!Despite us walking in 30 mins prior to closing, service was super friendly & welcoming and just impeccable. We were never rushed. Los Pastelitos Cafe is a hidden gem in the energy corridor, so do yourself a favor and come here ! Great South American food, drinks, atmosphere and service at amazing prices. It does not get any better than this.“
“I had some of their breakfast tacos the other day, the 3 meat one as well as the spicy 3 meat one, and they were absolutely delicious! They were ready in like 3 minutes, so they were super fresh. And their salsas are great too. I can’t wait to go back!“
“This place is located in a shady area and we were a bit skeptical going in but it’s so nice inside. Looks like a converted warehouse. We ordered vanilla latte on the recommendation of the cashier and it was delicious. I had the classic with scrambled eggs, turkey bacon and sourdough toast. The eggs were creamy and lightly seasoned the presentation was neat and clean. My husband had the croissant with eggs and that was delicious too. We also got almond croissant and crème brûlée cheese cake. Everything was delicious and the bill was around $45. Which I thought was very reasonable. Loved it, recommend it and would love to come back.“
“I recently had the pleasure of brunching at Bluestone Lane with friends, and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. From the warm welcome we received from the staff to the inviting ambiance, every detail contributed to a memorable outing. The vanilla latte I ordered was hands down the best I've ever had, and paired perfectly with the avocado smash toast and bacon. I can't wait to return for another round of exceptional food and ambiance. Highly recommended!“
“Million Dollar bloody Mary is bland and tasted like it was only bloody mary mix. When I asked for horseradish to add some spice to it (a basic ingredient of any bloody mary) they brought over a horseradish sauce.The cheesy grits were VERY good though.“
“Hosted an anniversary party for my parents here, and cannot say enough great things about Szilvia and her staff. They were incredibly accommodating and helpful. We had a mishap with our cake (purchased elsewhere) while driving down and our waitress told us not to worry about it, that she would fix it, and she did! She went way above and beyond. The wine was amazing, and our guests had a wonderful time. Szilvia was very knowledgeable and kind, and we loved learning about the wines from her. She also helped us with a wine gift for my parents with a custom label, and was so communicative with us during the planning process. She even texted me when we were on the way down and asked me to let her know when we were close so she could have our guests hide and surprise my parents. We could not have asked for a better host or venue. Highly recommend Szilvia and Sable Gate!“
“I was looking for a new breakfast place and I found this 9 mins away. I had the inspired Italian with the morning meditation juice and I was surprised how good they were. I usually stay away from any type of ethnic inspired dishes specially for breakfast because they tend to flip and I feel like I wasted money but the Inspired Italian was quite an interesting take. A blend of savory, salty, sweet and sour. It's weird to say it on an omelette but this one was quite refreshing. The morning meditation juice was also very nice. Not overly sweet but also an eye candy. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend“
