    Plain Tea Cakes (box)
    Morgan W.

    I have been trying to make it to this place for a while and I finally got over here. This black owned business is known for being one of a few places in Houston that sells Teacakes. They also sell cakes by the slice and you can place orders for whole cakes. And if you are last minute, you can always call and see what they have available. I came on a Thursday morning. (Yes random, but you have to do what you have to do because Saturday morning is chaotic). I ordered a box of tea cakes which is 12 for about $16 of the regular. And a package of the lemon tea cakes for about $4. And a slick of 7up cake which was an impulse buy, 7up cake! Oh my gosh! It was still warm from coming out the oven. Listen. I --- yes. That's the answer. just go get one. The tea cakes were consistent and if you need a foundation for tea cakes this is a good place to start.

    Birthday Cake
    Destini W.

    A family member of mine got a birthday cake from this establishment and it was completely delicious. It was an 8 inch cake with pineapple filling and butter cream. The cake was very moist and delectable. It was only $15 at that. They were so nice when we picked up the cake and they wished her happy birthday. Come here if you want a GOOD CAKE for a REASONABLE PRICE.

    Hours of operation. }:{

    Alright with much delay... First off you would have to be in this particular part of town to partake in the goodies. I stumbled across it in multiple passings to another destination. But of course it caught my eye bc who doesn't like a decent dessert, right??? Anyway-ladies n fellas if you want to make a statement with a dessert-this is the throw down for ya. Okay, okay customer service is not five star, but baby the dessert is, legit the price is too... okay O' they take custom orders too. For my big 49 I'm ordering me, myself, and I some bakery LV style you hear me... That'll be my test for A&K you feel me... Alright, thus far everything I have purchased as been legite on taste. Don't get me wrong-I am epic on customer service, and anytime you have teengagers employed rather familia or not I know it's a training process (You were warned by Tabatha L.) okay...

French style baguettes are perfect. The only problem is the pastries suffer from humidity of Houston and if not eaten fresh they can get soggy and lose their texture. I am referring to the mille fuille. The chocolate cake was really good and held up for a few days. I bought 4 baguettes, 4 mille fuille, 4 chocolate cakes and 2 boxes of mixed macaroons for $100. So not cheap but the flavor and presentation was nice. It's a must try in Houston. They do not suffer from a lack of business. So lines can be long. They are efficient however!! Bon appetit

I will definitely be back specifically to get some more of those. My chai latte was very good as well. Service was friendly, attentive, and overall welcoming. You can also see into the kitchen through a large window, so we saw Chef Otto working his magic!

The inside is functional and reminiscent of the immigrants who brought this area together and continue to keep this community thriving. Next time we're in Houston we'll have to try their other pastries as well. As others noted, don't forget to bring cash as there is a small credit card fee.

We finally came around to checking it out and OMG YES. It absolutely is worth the hype. As a lover of egg tarts and someone who is also very particular about it - these have won my heart! I also heard great things about the mango mochi so we couldn't leave without those. Thankfully they still had some in stock. I heard they sell out quickly especially on weekends. Those also lived up to its hype. SO YUMMY! Tastes so fresh including the mangoes. My kiddo who LOVES mango anything loved them so much! My husband also got 2 savory pastries (I forgot what they were called and I forgot to take a picture) and those were yummy too. Perfectly flakey crust just like the egg tarts. We wanted to get sesame balls but they were sold out. Customer service was great. The guy that took our order was very nice. It was pretty busy but he moved through the line quickly. There's some seating inside if you want to eat there. Prices are very reasonable at $2 each for the mochi and egg tarts. The savory pastries were $3. It's located in a shared lot/area. Parking can be tight and limited on a busy weekend day but they have parking right out front for the Eck bakery customers. Also note that if you pay with card it's a 2.5% charge so cash is better if you have it. We didn't but we know now for future. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back. Next time we'll come earlier and get a bigger order and try their other offerings.

It's served in a foldable paper cup, so that's kinda weird, but also makes me feel like I'm saving the earth by purchasing this $9 drink. - pho beef kolache: one of a kind and you gotta try it. I found it pleasantly surprising. It was served hot and a fair size that won't completely fill you up but it ain't no sample size either. I loved it. - Thai banana pudding: this was the highlight. I'm not sure if it's a seasonal item, but if they have it, you gotta get it. It was delicious and the perfect amount of sweetness. Service was extra pleasant, and though the indoor seating is limited, the outdoor seating is plentiful. Ambiance is hip and cool as one would expect from an EaDo shop. Enjoy!

I got one of their brownies but gave that to my husband so he could eat it at work. So can't really talk on that.

I've always liked bakeries, but I try to eat on the healthier side, so I usually avoid anything that might tempt me.But I am a sucker for cinnamon rolls, so when I saw they had them, of course I had to try one and they are so, so good. Now we actually go there about once every two weeks because we love it that much and I look forward to opening the front doors and smelling the sweet smell of baked goods Recently we also found out that they have cheese & sausage kolaches, and oh my gosh, they are delicious. They are really, really good and were such a nice surprise when we tried them. The location closest to us is the one on Airline Drive, and we usually go in the afternoon so we can avoid the after-work crowd. That time of day works really well for us because there aren't too many people, which makes it easier to grab bread and look around without feeling rushed. The ordering process is pretty quick and simple. You grab your metal tray and tongs, open each little door, pick what you want, and put it on the tray. When you're ready, you go to the register where the ladies count the breads, ring everything up, and bag it nicely for you. We're usually in and out pretty fast, which we really like. We love going to El Bolillo, and at this point it has definitely become a staple for us. We honestly can't get enough of it.
