    Fruity Pebbles cookie, billionaire brownie, red velvet cookie, Dubai truffle
    Jessica E.

    When we walked in the line was almost to the door. It went fairly quickly so that was nice. The cashier that took our order was really nice and we got our food items pretty quickly. We actually almost left without our smoothie. We ended sitting in the waiting area for a bit and when the line was nonexistent anymore our cashier looked at us confused. Then he asked if we had gotten our smoothie yet. We answered no and he went to the back to request it got made. Apparently our smoothie was forgotten. We still enjoyed the treats. The Dubai truffle was delicious and the fruity pebble cookie was great. My husband loves the brownie and he's very picky when it comes to brownies. My oldest got the red velvet cookie and ate it all in one sitting but gave me no notes lol.

    Needed a last minute cake for a surprise birthday dinner and dessert gallery came in clutch. I had called earlier in day with several questions that were all abetted perfectly-- wish I caught the name of who assisted me. Called around 8 for pick up at 8:30, and I'm so so so glad I did!! Upon arrival there was a bit of a line, but since I called it in for pick up I was able to grab and go. The cake was delicious, & I'm grateful I was able to secure one from an establishment with such great hospitality. I'll definitely be back & recommend you guys to any and everyone-- especially for the last minute folks. Receipt is attached-- all candles were also purchased from here.

    Rocky Road Texas Sheet Cake, individual

    We came here on a weekend night after dinner and the place was packed. It has a bit of a dessert cafe vibe with seating to eat your desserts or have some coffee in house or as take away. I got the rocky road texas sheet cake and my partner got a slice of carrot cake. Both desserts were well done but nothing super special. I think for ~$12 a slice, I expected something more than like a good slice of cake. The positive is that they're open late so for folks who have a late night sugar craving, this could be a spot to check out!

    Been here multiple times over the years for sweet tooth cravings + we pre-order the cakes for birthdays at the office, and everyone's always a happy camper! I stick mostly to their many flavors of cakes, but their cookies, bars, and other treats are worth a try. There are usually seasonal decorated iced cookies for holidays, events like cancer awareness or LGBTQ, etc too. Cakes slices are definitely on the sweeter and pricier side, but they are big and delicious! The lemon blueberry, red velvet, and Jennifer's chocolate birthday cake slices are my go-to's. The slab flavors are usually on the dry side for some reason. Friends love their tres leches. It's clean and cute inside with lots of seating but it can get crowded during peak hours. Parking in the lot can also get a little crazy then, but there are a few designated spots right in the front. Service has always been friendly, and they have a rewards program too. Top marks for being open into the night and for always helping with sweet cravings! :D

    I stopped by a business located next door and I thought I would grab my usual piece of cake, the old fashion. Yellow cake with chocolate frosting! It seems as though they have made some upgrades to the decor as I have not been here in about a year or so. Parking is ok, I also see businesses have designated certain spots with their signs. I ate the cake, so no pic. lol. All in all, they are a gallery with various deserts for everyone!

    stop by just to pick up and order for my son to deliver, the place appears to be very clean and fast service. They are near the brick and motor Trill burger, and near Costco on Kirby. This seemed to be a popular place. Tonight was my first time hearing of the shop.

    Back to H-town for a visit, and just had Dessert Gallery delivered to my hotel via Uber Eats (yes, I know. darned sweet tooth.) I'm pleased to report, that it's just as incredible as I remember, and the old diner cake is still perfection. In summation... "Reunited and it feels so good!"

    Red velvet cupcake
    Gwyneth N.

    The red velvet cupcake was okay overall, it was a little small but I definitely enjoyed how it wasn't too sweet. The women who checked us out were super nice and fast. The inside was just a standard bakery with a seating area, nothing more or less--overall 4/5

    I like their products but the service was horrible They gave us our to go order all wrong didn't notice until we opened it at home. Missing items. Wrong flavors. Allergen hazard. When they gave us the to go order. They forgot the drink, had to ask for it. Waited another 15min for it. Store was empty when we arrived Disappointed at the service. -we order the strawberry cake -The chocolate chip cookie -A cheesecake we got a key lime -Didnt get the monkey bar -german pecan bar

    A good place to end your night w your partner. It's most and busy but w a cup of coffee and dessert, it all fades away.

    Brownie Batter Blowout Sundae
    Peter P.

    I have come here before and one of my favorite places for a brownie sundae! (Brownie Batter Blowout Sundae). Service was overall good (weekends this place can get packed). Restaurant is a cute dessert place and fun for post dinner activities. I ordered a brownie sundae with vanilla ice cream and they mixed in hot fudge which made it extra rich and good. The brownies (World's Best Brownie) were soft and gooey. I ordered milk too (highly recommend) to balance the richness!

    Tiramisu, slice
    Marcia S.

    Great spot for the people who have a sweet tooth. I have done a review in the past. The last visit the has been some changes but nothing major. The slices of cake are a nice size that you can even share. The chocolate slice was everything definitely a must for the chocolate lovers. The ambiance is nice it open late so you can go there and have that late night snack. There are a variety of cakes, cupcakes and some cookies.

    Lemon Blueberry Cake, sheet cake (order in advance).
    Victor H.

    Instructions were given to me to promptly stop in here and pick up a cake for a surprise birthday party. I recall navigating through the pouring rain to get here and somehow finding a parking spot directly in front of the establishment. Must be the sugar gods/goddesses being somewhat gentle. I expected this to be a simple bakery with a display doing phone/internet orders for pick up. I was pleasantly surprised seeing there is seating here and they serve desserts to order that includes slices of pie, cookies, cupcakes, ice cream, frozen dessert drinks, coffee, and coffee drinks. And of course cake slices. The cakes and pies are pricy ranging from $9.95 - $12.95 per slice (WHAT!?). While this can be a turnoff, the slices/slabs displayed in the display case do look so tempting. I almost decided to order one for myself but reminded myself that I had a job to do and there would be plenty of cake for me at the birthday party. Now for the cake itself, it was a giant sheet cake of lemon blueberry which was a favorite of the party hosts. It suddenly hit me that my girlfriend got me the exact same cake in 9 inch format for my birthday. And how much I loved it! Now I see where my gf and her family get their desserts! The cake fed about 20 of us at the party with leftovers and everyone devoured it. That blueberry frosting mixed with the lemon fluffiness of the cake was straight up what cake is made of. Glad to know that cake is here and we'll be ordering more desserts/cakes in the future for events. May also bring my gf here for post date night to satisfy our sweet tooth!

    Halloween treats.

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.

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.

Parking can be difficult, but there are dedicated Koffeteria spots in front of the business as well as surrounding paid curbside parking. I believe Instagram helped many others discover this business recently, as it was pretty packed and there was a line, but this gave us ample opportunity to peruse the menu and pastry display. Ultimately, we opted for the: Cambodian iced coffee (kayfe dahkoh) made with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk - tasted very similar but weaker than Vietnamese coffee. As I'm Viet and have never had Cambodian coffee, this was my only frame of reference, and I didn't love it.

He's a chocolate lover so I decided on the Black Forest cake for him which is one of their specialties. I ordered the night before for noon pickup and paid online which was a pretty easy process. I was able to include instructions to write "Happy Birthday Dad!" When I stopped by on a Sunday at noon, thankfully parking wasn't too bad and I snagged a spot easily. Beware parking here at busier times - when I visited on a Saturday at 1:30pm it was mayhem. On entering, I saw an array of desserts and savory items. I decided to also pick up a savory kolache-type pastry (I never got the name of it) and the cake! The employee was quick and helpful - she located the cake, showed me the design and lettering to make sure it was ok before I left. The cake was a huge hit! We loved the light sponge cake with layers of whipped cream which were light and not too sweet. Then layer of cherries was lovely. The fruits on top were fresh and nicely arranged. The appearance was gorgeous as well, with chocolate shavings delicately arranged on the outside. We were not too impressed by the kolache. I was also able to try their pandan cake slice on another visit and loved the flavoring, lightness of the cake and the icing was very tasty. I will definitely be coming back here for more cakes in the not too distant future!

I decided to go for small just to try it out first vs get a slice and pay $15 which in the end it didn't matter cus it came out to $12 for 2 items I got. The cupcake I got was cookies and cream but it just taste like reg store bought cake. You know the type that it's "chocolate" but there's not much choc flavor to it. The cream cheese frosting was like eating melted grease and added nothing to the rest of the cupcake. I ended up taking a bite and dumping the rest. 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.

    Artisana is a bakery specializing in sourdough bread and French patisseries…read more Their shop is quaint and small with very limited seating. However, there is plenty of parking. They have a select variety of pastries. We got their butter croissant, blueberry cream cheese danish, and spinach pastry. The croissant was one of the best I had in Houston! It is subtle, buttery, and flaky and does not go stale from staying out all day. I think these Houston croissants are the most similar to the ones I had in France! The blueberry cream cheese danish had a healthy and generous amount of blueberries. It was flaky, and the cream cheese flavor was not overwhelming or artificial. The spinach pastry was also flaky like the others and had a good spinach and cream flavor. I also had a bite of my friend's cinnamon kouign-amann, but it was not as good as the others and was a bit on the drier side. All the pastries I got were well balanced with subtle flavors and had golden, crispy flakes. I really enjoyed them, and although I have been here a handful of times, it's definitely a Houston croissant staple, which I will be visiting more often!

    Artisana is my go-to for fresh bread; it's the best I've found in the city, especially the classic…read moresourdoughs. The scones and pastries are more hit-or-miss, sometimes fantastic and sometimes slightly overcooked and dry. This is a place to buy great bread. If you're there and the croissants and pastries look good, go for it--but there are better destinations if that's your draw. Zero atmosphere and not a place to hang out.

    I love to eat at El Bolillo Bakery. It all started because my boyfriend really loves their conchas,…read moreso he was the one who introduced me to the place. 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.

    Best Panadería in Houston. A neighborhood staple. Bolillo always has the softest conchas and bread,…read morethe empanadas de piña have real chunks of pineapple, the marranitos are the best around town, and the never-ending line for Bolillos should tell you how good they are.

So, what we decided to do was to place an order for the chocolate ganache tarts a couple of days later, but while we were here, we'd try their Amandine tart, Sachertorte, and an Eclaire. Wow, I just had a bite of each and....daaaang, they were so so soooo good! So satisfying, so decadent, so next level deliciousness! ... perhaps a little sweet, but not overly so... thoroughly enjoyed just the taste of each. A couple of days later when we finally got to try their chocolate ganache tarts... wow... again! So obviously freshly baked, such wonderful density, flavor, and bite... with a butter cookie textured shell..... absolute heaven, and so difficult to just limit oneself to just one bite, but I managed. I'm sure we'll be back here again during our next visit.

    This is the type of establishment I would always support. Japanese-owned bakery who took over a…read moreprevious French bakery. You can see the perfections in everything they do. The bakery itself is simple and clean. Be respectful of the place and help clean up after yourself. Not one customer made a mess there. Everyone are respectful to the sweet owner. The drinks itself are simple, reasonably priced on the cheaper side. Not sweet at all so ask if you want it to be sweeten. Quality and perfect desserts. Just semi-sweet so if you have a crazy sweet tooth, this is not your bakery. Again, prices are extremely reasonable and I see lots of locals who enjoy coming here. Prices are actually on the lower side of what I see throughout Houston. Passionfruit tart was my favorite, if you need someone to tell you what to try.
