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.

This spot is truly a gem. I did not think I would be able to find a Japanese-owned, small…read morebusiness/pastry shop in Texas but we are lucky to have Chez Kobayashi Pastries in Houston! This store is tucked away in the corner of a strip mall so there is plenty of space for parking. The inside has a good number of seats and tables for customers to sit down and enjoy. There is also an area that has children's books- in both Japanese and English! I was thrilled to see some of the books that I grew up with. The glass display showcases a variety of different pastries and sweets. There is also a separate menu above for sandwiches, crepes, and quiches! I was indecisive so I asked the owner for recommendations and she chose the Mont Blanc and Total Raspberry Tart. Both pastries were perfect- the tart has a raspberry cream on the bottom and the fruit was fresh and naturally sweet. Not to mention, the crust was absolutely delicious. The Mont Blanc was just as tasty. The chestnut puree, Chantilly cream, and crust were all *chef's kiss* And the best part of it all is that the pastries were not too sweet (for those of you who are new to Asian pastries, they are meant to be lighter and not overly sweet)! While my friend and I were enjoying the pastries, I was able to have a brief conversation with the owner and she was incredibly welcoming and kind. Overall, I was thrilled to be able to finally try Chez Kobayashi Pastries and I can't wait to come back and try their savory dishes! ごちそうさまでした‍

As part of the Post Oak Hotel, you can access this place from both inside and outside entrance…read more This place is super cute and seems to have a fair amount of people who come here to work or place an order from an good assortment of pastries and gelato's. 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. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. 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. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.

This is an upscale coffee / French dessert shop on the side of the hotel with entrances from the…read morestreet and inside the hotel itself. It is open surprisingly late. 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.

OMG- so grateful to have a friend who always thinks of me and loves to share food! LOL. The ube cream cake was a little firmer than the mainstream American/ Asian style cream cakes. That 4" by 4" all-purple piece of cake was good- Not overly sweet and just simply good. Over and above that, the ube bread rolls were pure deliciousness. The individually wrapped bread rolls were extremely soft and fluffy like Japanese milk bread. The sweet ube cream filling would be my favorite part of those fluffiest bread rolls. I just cant wait to visit the bakery shop and food court that fellow Yelpers raved over!

I've had a lot of macarons at other places and they don't do it as well as Mon Cheri. It's got the perfect texture, chewy but still has the crisp shell on the outside. My only critique is some of the macarons are a bit too sweet. But I still love it nonetheless! Parking is plentiful since it's in a plaza.

The label says "Rahat Since 1950" at this Rahat Bakery located in the corner of Park Point Mall…read morefacing Park Point Drive. There was a bit of drive coming from SW Houston. I heard from my Yelper friend Sara I who was interested to introduce me to this bakery. I went to Rahat Bakery on the Labor Day holiday. I was glad that I did. I ordered one of each from the hot food case and whatever little pastries I could. While there was seating, my takeout was for the long drive home. I found the flavors were more to my palate. I don't like overly sweet on my ladoo, barfi and lemon tart, which in contrast to those Indian sweets in Hillcroft area. In the flavor scale of 1 to 5, 5 being Holy Cow and 1 being Mild, I have tried: 3 of 5 Chicken Eggroll 5 of 5 Drumstick 1 of 5 Beef Puff 2 of 5 Chicken Puff 6 of 5 Beef Patty (outrageously delicious) 4 of 5 Samosa The chicken egg roll was crispy and tasty. I don't need any dipping sauce because the flavor is right on point with a little bit of spicy goodness and lots of chicken meat in there. The drumstick was da bomb. It surprised me with a giant kick in my mouth. The beef patty was really powerful. The flavor was out of this world. It's like eating a spicy beef jerky without the chewy texture. I would take some for my upcoming long-distance trip. Chicken puff was more flavorful than the beef puff. I was glad that ate them in the right sequence. Otherwise, things would taste differently. OMG, the surprise of the day was the samosa. It's bigger than my fist. Humongous samosa for $1.99 was unheard of. The flavor was on point for me. I didn't need dipping sauce either. The wrapper was flaky and light. It tasted better the next day. Most importantly, the prices are very reasonable. Employees were friendly. I chatted with the manager for a little bit. He shared the history of Rahat Bakery and their plan on expansions. I definitely will come back to try the cakes and brunch. Dropped 1 star for the entrance. There are 2 steps in front of the door. I don't think they can fix that. It's not just tripping hazard but also dangerous for those people who are not steady on their feet, like me.
