Love the vibe here - the sort of place that is welcoming and cozy; I didn't want to leave! Part cafe and part tiny market (think things you would find at a local farmer's market booth), this is a great stop that will leave you feeling better than when you came in. Friendly staff, to boot! Came in for lunch and had one of their summer toasts - a tomato and peach topped toast. The toast itself was incredible and the toppings were fresh and well paired. I also couldn't resist their baked goods and had the duffin (I think that was the name) that was basically a cross between a muffin and a coffee cake and sugary churro. Divine! Bought one of their focaccia loafs to-go and enjoyed it for many days after. read more

It is a low hydration, dense bread, suitable for toast but you probably would not eat it un-toasted. The cost in July 2026 is $13 so caveat emptor. For me, that price point is too high to justify a second purchase. I did some toast with cream cheese with it. read more

I absolutely love this bakery and will definitely keep coming back! Everything always tastes incredibly fresh, high quality, and made with care. Their baked goods are some of my favorites, and the food is consistently delicious. The only reason I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars is because of our most recent visit. The coffee was unfortunately very watered down and lacked flavor, so it wasn't my favorite. They also forgot to add the sauce to my husband's breakfast sandwich, it was on mine but missing from his, which was a little disappointing. That said, one off experience isn't enough to keep us away. We genuinely love this place, the fresh bakery items are fantastic, and the quality of the food is what keeps us coming back. Looking forward to our next visit! read more

4 1/2 stars for me, but worth rounding up The Classic Loraine Egg Tart was very good. I usually enjoy ending with the last bit of crust, but although it was good, it just wasn't finish worthy for me. Just a little too dry. To be clear, it was the edge part that was dry, the layer below the quiche was perfect. Otherwise, I enjoyed it enough to order again. I appreciated the Spring Greens, dressed lightly, that was included (my preferred side with a quiche). I tried my daughter's OSC Sandwich (Whitehurst Farms Chickens, Orange Sesame Glaze, Tiger Tear Saw, Avocado, Jalapeno, Marinated Egg, Pickles, Fruit, Tallow Chips, Focaccia), it was great. Maybe better than the Tart, I would certainly order it for myself for lunch. I know the honey pie is a big hit, but for me it was too sweet (I KNOW, that doesn't seem possible, right?!). However, the Duffin (hope I spelled that right) - OH MY GOODNESS, it was the best marriage of donut and muffin I would not even have dreamed of, but so happy someone did. Yummy!!!!! Note: I really appreciate that this "Crap Free" (their words not mine) establishment doesn't use artificial colors or flavors, and supports local farms. read more

As a French person, I couldn't ask for a better place. We stopped in for a quick lunch and had the peach crostini and the breakfast sandwich, both were great The bakery selection is incredible. We tried the cherry chocolate muffin and the oatmeal cream pie, and they were absolutely delicious. The café is beautifully decorated, with an atmosphere that genuinely feels like you're in the heart of Paris. The service was warm and welcoming as well. A well-deserved 5 stars. This is a new gem in Houston for high-quality vegan food, amazing pastries, and a quick lunch. read more

THIS RESTAURANT IS A DEFINITE MUST TRY!!! This little gem is so adorable and the food is just EXQUISITE! The quality of the food is just so on point! The food is fresh and local. The variety and creativeness of the pastires was just mind boggling! I wish I could try everything! I cannot give this place enough credit. I'll be visiting as soon as I can. My friend and I visited on a Monday and so the restaurant was very quiet. I see that it can get quite busy on the weekends and I know why! I had the mushroom toast. I'm vegetarian but do not eat eggs and Th cashier was very open to offering me options. Menu items all had options with eggs and Th mushroom toast was ineif the dew items that could be adjusted to have this eggs removed and I so appropriate ciate that they did that for me because it was DELISH!!! I also had a pear muffin and that was to DIE FOR!!! OMG! Love everything about this place! read more

Love Jane and the Lion! They're a well known bakery in the area whose brick and mortar spot has been going on for over a year now. You can't go wrong with any of their pastries. They are very fresh with no fake crap in it so they don't last long but they are so good you won't let it stick around too long at home! I love their daily plate- it is very filling with eggs, delicious sourdough, fresh preserves, nice cheese, pickled things, and bacon. Their coffee drinks are also good. Their coffee syrups are made in house and aren't as sweet and fake tasting as other places. They also have local produce and Houston made goods in the front. The vibes are very homey inside, you wouldn't know you are in a strip mall off of N Main. The employees are nice and helpful! It's my favorite place for a solo breakfast to read. read more

We picked up some tasty treats from Jane & the Lion Bakehouse and really enjoyed them. The country sourdough was excellent--still warm when they handed it to me!--though a little pricy at $13 for one loaf. The soft pretzel was pretty good too, but it was the spicy mustard that came with it that I really liked. The oatmeal cream pie (moon pies, as I know them!), which are two cookies with cream in the middle, were OK, though I really would have just preferred the cookies by themselves. Cute spot! read more

The best breakfast sandwich I ever had in my life. The melt in your mouth soft scrambled eggs and Turkey sausage with cheese and their homemade sauce on a brioche bun is out of this world. The latte is smooth and perfect after the delicious sandwich . We have been here twice and I ordered the same thing to test it out to see how consistent they are and they are super consistent. I always go back to the same place twice and ordered the same thing to test the consistency of a restaurant. I am a foodie and Very particular about my food. The taste of spices and the temperature of the food is critical for me. Definitely coming back to try other items on the menu. Best bread and pickled vegetables. read more

Rawr. Accidental find on TGTG but so very glad I did. The staff is so friendly and the vibe in the cafe is fun! I heard they do farmers markets too. Everything was so delicious. The breakfast biscuits were flaky and delicious. Everything was really good. Not overly done. And they reheated well in either an air fryer or oven. But let's talk about the salted honey pie. I can't even begin to explain how surprised I was by how much I loved it. It didn't sound very good but the taste is amazing. I was licking the container lol. Def plan on going back esp since it's so close. read more

Thai place really did great with carrying the rustic fee through out their bakery. It's a bit of a mix of ol'timey country store with modern casual hipster brunch. The service was a mix of good and bad. The bad was that they completely forgot our order and the front of house claimed my husband ordered a cortado and I know for a fact he did not because he has NEVER ordered a cortado. She insisted several times and almost acted like we were trying to get free food. She made us wait 6 extra minutes for her to find the order receipt she lost and when you have a toddler with you, time is of the essence. The good is that the man working the in the back (maybe making the coffee?) was a pleasure and should give the woman taking orders a lesson or 3 in customer service. Now the baked goods were phenomenal. The quiche honestly didn't look too appetizing as it has a piece of pale bacon on top that looks like flesh but it was so well done. It was insanely intricate. The layers were layering. I think it even had mustard and carmalized onions in the base layer. The cheese was well integrated and overall I was impressed. I got a the bread pudding and wanted to take a picture but I blinked and it was gone. I don't even remember what happened - just straight devoured. Also got the chicken poblano empanada. It made me feel like I was having a lovely medieval lunch. Something about it just felt hearty. It was thick and sometimes a thick empanada isn't want you want but I'm going to call this a European take on one. A empanada to feed two and fuel you to plow some fields. Oh and the vanilla latte was smooth, creamy and not too sweet. It is rare to go to a bakery that has both great pastries and coffee. I would have made this one of my staple bakeries if it wasn't for the front of house service. read more

I've been seeing my friends post about Jane and the Lion on Instagram for so long, and I'm so glad I finally got to stop by and try it out for myself! We came on a Friday morning around 7:30AM and were able to order without having to wait. The staff were all super helpful answering any questions I had about the menu, and the interior decorating was super cute. Loved the vibe! Especially the lion pirate in the bathroom. I ended up ordering one of their famous seasonal toasts -- Friday's was perfectly toasted and topped with peaches, tomatoes, torn basil, a creamy cheese that I can't remember (probably some type of ricotta or burrata), and pine nuts. Super filling and yet really light and refreshing! The bread itself was also super hearty. Loved the freshly squeezed juice as well. My friends are regulars here so we were well taken care of and had a great time enjoying our breakfasts. Definitely would love to stop by again the next time I'm in the city! read more

Loved the indoor vibes and atmosphere. I was there on a Saturday 5 mins before the doors opened, and quickly a few others started to show up. As I stepped in, the queue built up! I had a latte, avocado toast with a sunny side up (eggs are made with duck fat - yum!). Grabbed a few goodies to-go; I really enjoyed the duffin and bacon fat choc chip cookie. Blackberry and blueberry pie was delicious too. read more

I live 30 minutes away from the Heights yet I find myself making the drive twice a month. There pastries are BEYOND EXCELLENT. My favorites are the savory hand pies- I've had the pumpkin chorizo and the beef. My only complaint was that the chorizo one was lacking in filling, however the beef one I had was full of beef and veggies and the pastry crust at this place is simply perfect. Thick and buttery!!! There biscuits and hidden gem muffin are also must haves!! read more

Went to Jane and the Lion on Friday around brunch time. Parking really kinda sucks.. although people are in and out.. it can get congested and a little annoying to find a spot. Luckily, someone was leaving and we got to snag parking. When we walked up.. there was a line that moved a little slow. It was hot.. so we were kind of melting until we got inside. Inside is small... but very cute. Definitely a local spot.. and we love supporting local, good food! We ordered the biscuit with egg (10/10!!!, so freaking good), the pretzel bread kolache (10/10!! verrrrry good, wish the sausage was spicy though), and a jalapeno pastry (mid) and a cookie's and cream cookie (my husbands fav!!) Definitely check it out. I thought pricing was reasonable. Service was good. We were with friends and they somehow forgot two orders... but otherwise, we love the little place! read more

We saw Jane and the Lion on social media and decided to visit, as we also live near the area. However, we were extremely disappointed. There were two flies in the display case flying around, which you can see in the video when you zoom in near the Hidden Gem muffins. After serving us our pie, we waited for 20 minutes for our drink. The workers were just conversing with one another, and when we came to inquire about our drinks, they told us they had forgot about them. I would have understood if they were busy, but there were only two other groups sitting during that time. The strawberry rhubarb pie was tart but not particularly outstanding. They gave us metal forks, but there was no bin or anywhere to dispose them. I was disappointed with the hygiene (flies in display case) and the service, and I believe they a lot of room for improvement. read more

Visited on a week day, so parking was less challenging. We enjoyed booth of the toasts we ordered: the rhubarb and duck liver. The sourdough bread is lovely, buttered and toasted to perfection. The salted honey pie was a little too sweet for my own personal preference, my son loved the crust. I also ordered a quiche to go, it reheated well. The staff recommend a gluten free pastry, do need to return to try more things. More limited coffee selection. Duck eggs available for purchase. read more

I'm so happy that Jane has opened a brick and mortar! I've watched the lines grow over the years at her markets and the quality and menu only got better so I had to stop by as soon as I could. The line wasn't too long. I waited about 20 minutes to order. I loved the benches outside with movable boxes to eat on. Once inside I was impressed with what was done to the space. The dark walls, flowers and art, the eclectic furniture really fit well. I didn't get much, just my normal vandalized biscuits with jam, buttery, flaky and dense, and a few pretzels for snacking. Service was quick and everyone was nice and helpful. There's a full menu with quiches, toasts and sandwiches, and coffees and teas. She's even got local eggs by the dozen! I can't wait to sit and have breakfast one day soon! read more

The vibes are strong with Jane and the Lion. Every corner of this little bakery-bistro is buzzing with character. All of their delectable pastries are on display at the counter--a feast for the eyes.

Great service, too. read more

Finally made my way around to Jane and the Lion. Saw it on IG by Shaun the sheep and was smitten. I love good simple food and JAL delivered!!! Started with a good piece of plum and nectarine streusel and a cup of fabulously HOT coffee. The daily plate was a highlight for me. I love breakfast at any time of day, but was surprised at salad for breakfast! And the added vinegar dressing with flower petals throughout. Made me feel as if I was in a fancy tea. I FINALLY had a well made over medium egg. The crusty fresh baked bread was just... well let's say I may just be a regular.. price wise though I spent about 26 dollars for breakfast but I rather put the money in a small business than a chain restaurant. Service was great, I loved the simple yet upgraded country home feel of it. Now I need to coordinate my friends to come with me. read more

This bakery was amazing! We met the owner and she was incredibly kind and took time to speak with us. My husband and I were in town to visit family, I'm a Houston native but was telling Jane there's so many places I have yet to try since moving away. She gave us suggestions as well let us try a pastry. Visiting Jane & The Lion was hands down one of the highlights of our trip! The staff was also super sweet and patient as we tried to figure out what we wanted. I wish I would have gotten the name of the staff member who helped us, they were so patient and sweet. We will always visit when we're back! read more

Funky new bakery just opened up. The service and food were outstanding . A bit pricey but at least I did not leave hungry. I really like how they decorated the place. Very funky and hip.

I can never decide what to order because everything is amazing! I love the vibe, red light area in the back, copper water vessel with copper cups, a small Market with local produce and eggs. The lunch and breakfast menu, all delicious. AND the pastries and pies! OH MY! The sourdough bread, also gluten free options!! I have been ordering my holiday pies from Jane for several years, my family wouldn't have anything besides her pies.

Don't wait, go and check it out! read more

The service is awesome in this new eatery. Be advised its location is tucked away in a strip mall, so it's hard to see. Inside is cozy, and the food tastes great. It is not ideal for sitting outside: they have seating on the sidewalk, but there is no cover. Try it for an intimate brunch spot! read more

We ordered a Duffin which was so fluffy and delicious. Then we got our hot tea and Americano. They didn't have earl gray tea so they worked with me to try and make something as close to a London Fog that they could. Then we had the breakfast sandwich with pork sausage and the breakfast plate with bacon. The sourdough is FANTASTIC. Only thing I'll do next time is ask for some butter to add on as extra. Breakfast sandwich was huge and full and so soft. Only downside was dirty plates left out on tables for a while when there really isn't much seating options to begin with. Their AC must've been struggling to keep up in the small space but they did have some fans going to try and help. read more

Ouu, yum. The feels aren't quite there yet for me- maybe bland, maybe unenthused? Maybe not. But the baked goods? Stellar. I ordered many that I haven't tasted yet but that simple biscuit? That there is the second best biscuit I've had in Houston. Salty, buttery, crisp and fluff where it should be! It was a 9.5/10- I took half bc they warmed it for me at my request but it wasn't warmed all the way thru and the cold with the warm was fumbly. Never the less, I will most def be back. Signed, first timer and new fan. Two word review: sour milk! read more
