Very friendly staff, also owner comes around to tables often to check that everyone at your table is satisfied or just to say hi! My favorites are the onion rings, but if you don't want to add the extra cost, their regular fries are good too, along with a Dizzy chicken sandwich, made to your liking! I also love the Monterray Chicken with any of their sides they are all delicious! As far as dessert go it's truly hard to pick a favorite to many good ones! My only complaint is I wished they were opened until 8:00pm. All days of operation but I get it! Hard to manage the bills on slow days and nights! Oh and Sundays they are closed because we all need time to worship or Lord and spend with family!

I'm not sure what happened to their storefront, I do miss being able to walk into the bakery and purchase cookies and in person ordering however, they accept call in orders and delivery, which I am grateful for. Ordering is stress free and accurate. Design's are easily understood and flawless. Delivery is fairly quick with about a 24 hour turn around time, and delivery is free. Mary's Cakes and Cookies has been a local and family favorite for many years and I'm looking forward to new location soon!

As you enter, you are greeted by the exquisite aromas of freshly baked sweet bread. Stainless steel trays and tongs are right there for self-service. I have never been here before, but the drill is the same if you have ever been to a panaderia. I was buying in bulk for a party. There is so much to choose from! Cakes can be ordered here for any occasion, and they also make tamales. Definitely need to try those sometime to see if they're righteous. Freshly baked tortillas de harina are prepackaged as well as mexican wedding cookies! Overall, I had fun coming here picking out goodies. I felt like a kid in a candy store! You should definitely drop by as there are, I believe, 2 other locations in the Hou area.

The cookie was baked to soft perfection. I went with a friend who thankfully knew to join the waitlist about an hour before we planned to arrive, which made the wait very manageable. Had we not known that important little tip, we probably would've been waiting close to an hour. Overall, it was such a pleasant experience, and I'd definitely go back again.

Let me preface this review by stating that I have been to this establishment multiple times & had…read moreglowing, amazing service each time. However, my last experience with this establishment left a horrible taste in my mouth. Therefore, I am giving them an extra star for the previous experiences. On May 17th, 2026, my best friend and I had been looking forward to coming to Water Oak all day and had our taste buds set for the occasion. We were famished and had quite a day up until arriving. Upon entering the restaurant, we were very briefly greeted by the a Hispanic man who I assume is the manager and told that they were "no longer seating for the day". I glanced around and saw that every table inside WAS seated, however there were many tables outside that were empty. I asked about the patio stating that us where we preferred to sit anyway, and was met with that they were also not seating the patio at all for the rest of the day. However, there was a group of 3 women seated outside on the patio at that exact time. I didn't say anything, simply turned and left. After having "one of those days" hashing out something so minute with a person who clearly didn't want us in their place of business was not something I was about to do. Keep in mind, we came on a Sunday afternoon. Prime brunch time. We arrived at the restaurant around 2:30PM, and their website says they don't close until 4PM. I am a biracial black woman and my friend is white. I noticed a significant amount of White and Latino patrons, but a shocking lack of Black people. With Houston having one of the most diverse populations in the US, it is almost impossible not to see at least one individual of each ethnicity in a place at any given time. I am definitely not one that likes to pull the race card, because oftentimes that is not the issue. However, as someone who is familiar with the service industry I understand Sundays can be extremely overwhelming. And I am cognizant that not everything is that serious. But, I am also aware that a lot of people in the industry discriminate against people of color, with stigmas that we don't leave enough gratuity or we "don't fit the vibe of their establishment". And those 3 women seated on the patio? All White. After reading recent reviews, it seems that management is discriminating against people of color, more specifically Black folks. This is an extremely disheartening and sickening realization to make, seeing as I have given well over $1,000 worth of my money here but also enjoyed many meals without issue. To management: It breaks my heart to have to write this review and to be honest, I wouldn't have written it if I hadn't seen others posting about similar experiences in addition to also feeling discriminated against. I highly suggest that if you are "not seating" after a specific time, you announce this via social media or alert potential patrons with a sign or something of the sort. & obviously, there is such an issue with treatment towards POC that it is a noteworthy problem via your Google & Yelp reviews. You will have a much bigger fish to fry on your hands if you continue to let this issue go on unrectified. I would be willing to return if I felt things were to be changed for the better in the future! Hopefully this review sparks a much needed conversation and brings attention to an area which needs work.
