    Gingerbread and Black & White macarons
    Miranda L.

    She claims that she has the best macarons in town. She can sure talk the talk, but can she walk the walk? My opinion is....yes. I've heard many great things about her macarons from yelp, friends, and family, and as a result, I've been dying to try some. Luckily, I was able to find time to make it to the Farmer's Market at the Rice University Campus. She doesn't have an actual store. Thus, if you want to get a hold of these bad boys, you gotta go to the Farmer's Market on Tuesdays (Rice University), Saturdays (Urban Harvest at Eastside), or arrange a time to meet up with her (after pre-paying, of course). She has a large variety of flavors, and they're fantastic - both the basics such as vanilla, chocolate, lemon, pistachio to the more creative ones such as red velvet, gingerbread, tiramisu. They're definitely crispy and fresh and doesn't taste old and stale like what you may find at the other brick and mortar macaron places. She doesn't have all the flavors available every time so make sure to follow her on Facebook since she posts the flavors that will be available that week. Her macarons are definitely pricey - $2.00 each but if you got macaron money to spare, spend it here at Maison Burdisso.

    Yum!

    First time having these bad boys and they exceeded my expectations! A friend of mine took me to the farmer's market at rice university (which is held on Tuesdays) and recommended trying them. On hot days like this, they recommend eating them ASAP because they do melt. If you plan on taking them home and eating them later stick them in the refrigerator for 15min, then eat them. Chocolate 5/5 Coffee 5/5 Acai 4/5 Pistachio 4/5 Strawberry 5/5 Green Apple 4/5 Definitely coming back next week to try the other flavors. =)

    After reading Linh N.'s review of these, I headed over on Sat. to try them out. They are very different and interesting, though quite expensive!!! When you bite into them, they kind of 'collapse', so to speak, but not in a bad way. It is hard to describe.... I ordered the Cassis (black currant), Lemon, Yogurt, Passion Fruit, Chocolate, and Pistachio. The Cassis and Lemon were both Very Good!!! (and they looked/were colored like they tasted). The Yogurt was o.k., but didn't taste like yogurt, or really anything discernable. The Passion Fruit, Choc and Pistachio were all very non-discript and unmemorable. Glad I tried them, but won't be bothering to eat them again.

    Mmmm macarons!

    Probably my favorite macarons I've tasted to date!! =) The outter sandwiches were crisp and the taste melts in your mouth. I was very impressed with the strawberry, honey, and pistachio flavors. I will need to return again soon!

    If only I had time to wait another 20 min for more flavors to arrive!

    Yay! Finally got to try my very first MBM's this morning at the Highland Village Farmer's market. I was SO excited, I immediately ran up to the booth and blurted, "1 each please!" without much calculation as to how many different flavors she actually had. Luckily for my wallet (and not so luckily for my belly) there were only 6 available flavors at the time I arrived, so the damage was somewhat controlled. While the booth board featured about 8 flavors (and I was told that Ms. Jackie would be coming back by shortly to drop off additional flavors), what I ended up with was: Pistachio, Vanilla Bean, Gingerbread, Pear (which tasted more like Green Apple), Strawberry & Pomegranate. With thanks to Jeffrey C & James R, I luckily doubled up on the Vanilla Bean & Pistachio flavors and omg, it was amazing. At first bite, I was a bit shocked at how sweet and whip-creamy the Vanilla Bean filling was, but then, after the second bite, I fell in love. The texture and flavor immediately reminds you of an old-fashioned ice cream sandwich, and let me tell you, I just finished my last one just now and I am SO sad :(. Also, I never liked gingerbread, and was a bit annoyed when somehow this little brown macaron made it into my box (since I wasn't expecting it to be a choice), but was very pleasantly delighted at how tasty it was. Truly, every single flavor was just unique, and MDM's really have their very own spin to the whole macaron trend. Artistically crafted, and creatively infused, you will crave these little colored jewels until the very next time you get your hands on them. If they weren't $2 a bite (and rightfully so) I'm sure I'd have my fridge stocked with a dedicated shelf of these little things that make my heart flutter~.

The mango is always incredibly fresh, juicy, and perfectly sweet. My go-to order is the Mango Pancake, which is light, fluffy, and not overly sweet. The fresh mango in the center is definitely the star of the show, pairing perfectly with the airy whipped cream. The delicate pancake wrapper has a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture that ties everything together beautifully. This visit, I decided to switch things up and try the Mango Coconut Sago drink. It was generously sized and incredibly refreshing. The creamy coconut complemented the sweet mango perfectly, and the drink had an almost slushy texture that was ideal for a hot Houston day. The sago added a fun, chewy texture that made every sip even more enjoyable. The service has always been quick, and the employees are consistently friendly and helpful, making each visit a pleasant experience. If you're looking for a refreshing dessert, a quick snack, or a delicious drink to beat the heat, I definitely recommend stopping by. Whether it's your first visit or your fifth, this place is always worth the trip!

When I stopped by on a weekday evening at 9pm it was packed. They had stations setup throughout the store to order different goods, which helped to alleviate the rush. Knafeh ($6) - They offered 2 types of knafeh, one with cheese and one with custard. I went with the one made with Nabulsi cheese and topped with shredded phyllo, and soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more. Overall I was impressed with everything they offered here with the exception of the nuts, which I thought were just ok. I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

For example, with the Turkish delights and ice cream selections, only a few items are labeled. For most of them, you have to guess the flavor or ingredients. When I asked questions, there was a language barrier, and the staff member behind the counter was unable to clearly explain what the items were in English. This can be especially frustrating for customers with food allergies or dietary restrictions. In the U.S., I would expect all flavors and ingredients to be clearly labeled so customers can make informed choices. Even if staff members are not fluent in English, having accurate labels for flavors and ingredients would greatly improve the customer experience. The desserts themselves are excellent, but better product labeling would make the experience much more enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

This is not a place you go to just have lunch or something.This place is an experience. Some adults might find joy in here (like I do), but my children definitely did, and that's worth it. They came here with the same excitement that they had for disneyland so I'm really happy about that. We all liked the harry potter experience and some different anime type experiences as well that my children liked. The foods and drinks are on theme and although it's not cheap, it's definitely not as much as Disneyland. We came on the weekends, but during lunchtime, and I can see how they might be really busy during the dinner rush. Sometimes you might need a timed entry to go in, but thankfully, we have not since we've been going. I will say that it's quite small and gets cramped really fast. I just think the experience of it all is a really cool and I'm happy we have fun places like this around us in Houston.

They also had some Studio Ghibli merch available for purchase and an extensive Studio Ghibli themed menu. We ordered the Totoro Taiyaki which was filled with Ube custard & served with a scoop of ice cream of our choice. Our order was prepared promptly, and we enjoyed our dessert while watching some clips of Ghibli movies and trivia videos. The experience was adorable and interactive, and I'm looking forward to seeing what other themed cafe's Popfancy pulls off next!

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's.

The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by.

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

She told me to go to the bakers son and make sure I go early because they do sale out and people buy in bulk. I entered with intentions of only getting the ube bread but $40 and 5 items later I went slightly overboard. They have so many items and they all look delicious. The customer service was great and prices were really good. Now to the items, the ube bread is phenomenal, soft, sweet, flavorful 10/10. I also got a biscoff bread sandwich (I'm forget the name) which had the softest and most perfect bread I've ever indulged in. Now to what the employees recommended and the absolute star. The ube Swiss roll. Omg, it was phenomenal. 20 out of 10! It was perfect in every way. I live 30 mins away but will make sure to keep The Bakers Son on a must go place weekly!

Since we were already in the area after breakfast at TJ's Filipino Cuisine, we finally got the chance to stop by and try their baked goods for ourselves. We arrived early, so the bakery wasn't too busy yet. The bakers were busy prepping more goodies in the back while my cousin and I browsed all the Filipino baked goods we really miss from back home in the Philippines. They even had suman, sapin-sapin, biko, and other kakanin, which was nice to see. I specifically looked for the chicken empanada, and my cousin wanted to try the ube white chocolate chip cookie. We also saw different kinds of siopao and planned to come back later to buy some before heading back to San Antonio. We tried the ube white chocolate chip cookie first, but honestly we weren't totally satisfied. It tasted more like a regular white chocolate chip cookie with purple coloring and didn't really have much ube flavor. I also tried the chicken empanada. My cousin didn't like it because it was sweeter than expected--we were both expecting it to be savory. There seemed to be caramelized sugar in the outside of the pastry, which probably added to the sweetness. I still like it, though it was definitely sweeter than what I'm used to. Red Ribbon's chicken empanada is still my favorite. Later that day before leaving Houston, we came back for the siopao we planned to take home. We finally decided to just buy a couple pieces for ourselves, heat them up in the bakery, and try them fresh. When we saw the price for a four-pack, we were honestly disappointed. It felt expensive for the size. The siopao wasn't huge, and while I like the dough, there wasn't much chicken filling inside. For the portion, taste, and quality, it felt overpriced. Overall, it's probably not worth making another trip back for us. We did enjoy the cassava ube suman, and I like the chicken empanada, but not enough to drive all the way to Houston just for those. If I live nearby, I might come back to try other baked goods, but based on this visit, I'm not sure the rest would impress my palate. I still give them credit for cleanliness and customer service, although we did notice fruit flies on one of the shelves and reported it. The staff was friendly, and the bakery itself was welcoming. At the end of the day, since they're a bakery, the expectation is great-tasting, quality, mouthwatering Filipino breads, pastries ", and kakanin. While some items were enjoyable, overall it just didn't quite live up to the hype for us.
