I purchased a Too Good To Go surprise box from this bakery, expecting a good deal as advertised. They claimed the value would be $21, but for $6.99, I only received one bag of dinner rolls and two cookies. Based on their regular pricing, the total value didn’t come close to what was promised. It felt more like a way to offload leftover food rather than offering a true surprise deal.
The food itself was just okay. I’ve tried Too Good To Go from other places and always received much better value. This experience was disappointing and felt misleading.
To make matters worse, the staff didn’t seem friendly or welcoming, and it was clear they weren’t interested in helping customers. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend buying a Too Good To Go box from this bakery. Save your time and money by going elsewhere!

A true Houston original! Family owned and operated since 1973, so you know they're doing it right. Best cakes and pastries inside the loop and their catering is on-point!

Best individual quiches to share with our out-of-town company! And fresh for the 3 mornings they are with us! We’ll packaged for me to take home.
Parking: I don’t pick up at peak meal times and thus can easily park by front door
One bite of a cake that tasted like it had been in the freezer for a month. It went straight into the trash. Unreal.

Food was good. Staff was so crazy rude to us and each other. Was a pretty wild experience overall. Live across the street and I'll never go back.

Cookies were placed in paper bags and were stuck together with icing. Cookies are pricey and need to be boxed.

Bakery was underwhelming and the baked goods tasted not fresh, almost had a fridge taste to them. Everyone was super nice, great workers but was not a fan of the actual bakery items
