    Strawberry crème croissant
    Ashley C.

    I walked over to this little place after leaving my doc because I needed a treat. It's a tiny little place with about three tables. There's not a broad menu, but enough options to be interesting. I tried the strawberry crème croissant (pictured) and a pack of madeleines. It's counter service. Make sure your language skills are up to par, because the lady I interacted with was limited in English.

    I really hate when a business does bait and switch advertising. I hate it even more when I have to drive a long distance just to find out that I'm not getting what I'm supposed to be getting. Some friends had suggested this location because they were participating in the Eat Drink HTX program benefitting the Houston Food Bank and a local children's charity. For those who aren't familiar, it's like Houston Restaurant Weeks but with more casual venues and lower price points. Anyway, we show up to the Cafe, which is a beautiful little spot tucked away in a shopping center. They're clearly not set up for something like EatDrinkHTX, since they only have three small tables and don't seem capable of serving any kind of crowd for multiple courses. The employees are used to counter service, which is fine, but also not conducive to the concept that they were participating in. When we went up to order, the lady seemed confused, because I ordered each course and before I was done the total was already over the $15 price point. She clearly didn't know about the price fixe concept or how the event is supposed to bring in people to try somewhere they normally wouldn't. She basically refused to honor the Eat Drink HTX deal and told us to pick fewer items that added up to $15, which completely defeats the point of the program. I'm guessing she was a manager, because we asked if she could honor what she advertised and she repeatedly referenced talking to "them" about whether she could honor the deal, but then never actually did so. We decided that we weren't paying $22 per meal for something advertised for $15/meal and went elsewhere for brunch instead.

    Randomly stopped in at this beautiful bakery. @temptationsbite has a great selection of items. Everything looked so delicious. I ordered the Almond Croissant and the Guava Bread. I was intrigued by the guava bread, and it did not disappoint, moist bread like a dense cake which tasted like guavas. we also enjoyed the almond croissant as well. It's definitely a great little spot. I highly recommend it.

    Pastries!!

    I was craving croissants so I stopped by this place after I picked up some coffee next door. There are a few loaves of breads on the shelves and pastries in the case up front. There are refrigerators with frozen bread dough so you can buy and bake at home. The pasties though.... They were fantastic! Creative flavors and so tasty! I got several croissants and a bread cup (basically a bread roll baked in a cupcake tin so it's a cake shape). Prices were on the higher end. Croissants were $7+. I picked up the Lemon Pie Croissant, Pain Au Chocolat with Almond, Orange Coconut Cupbread, Tres Leches Croissant, and a Pain Au Chocolates. The croissants were buttery and flaky and the fillings is the various flavors were messy but addicting. The Tres Leches had a plastic squeeze tube in it and I realized it was so you could squeeze the milky filling into the croissant before you eat it. Looks like a chemistry experiment, but very clever idea from keeping the croissant too soggy. Highly recommend this place for the pastries. I'm actually thinking about it now and wish I could go back for more. I would have loved to try the bread but don't have room to haul a loaf home! Next time!!

    Finally got to try this place out after passing by it so many times!! Fully exceeded all my expectations! The chicken empanada had a generous amount of filling and was served with a side of sauce- you can choose between the spicy or green sauce. We opted for the green sauce, and it paired so well with the empanada. Also used the leftover sauce on the cachito, which was good, but I couldn't really taste the bacon. The tres leches croissant was HUGE. The cream on top had the consistency of marshmallow fluff. Didn't really taste like tres leches, but it was still yummy and wasn't overly sweet! Croissant was crispy on the outside and buttery and extra flaky on the inside. They have coffee but no flavored syrups. They sell empanadas and cachitos in packs in the refrigerator section, and they have other breads to browse on their shelves. Seating is minimal, and parking is plenty for the most part but can be packed depending on the time of day. You can get your sweet and savory cravings satisfied here!! Service was relatively friendly and quick. Will definitely be back!!!

    Ricotta spinach empanada - 8.5/10 Nutella bread - 9/10 - $3.30 Cinnamon roll cupbread - 8.5/10 - $4.20 Pistachio croissant - 8/10 - $7.30 Tres leches croissant - 9/10 - $7 Flat croissant - 8/10 I love bakeries so I was excited to try this one, especially because they make their breads fresh daily I really liked their nutella bread and tres leches croissant. Everything was lightly sweet, not overly sweet. I would recommend if youre in the area and craving some fresh baked goods

    A small bakery that is worth the drive! There are limited seats in the store, and the bakery has a warm and inviting ambience. There were many loaves of fresh bread to choose from the shelves. All of them looked super good. I bought some cupbreads and they were had the same fluffiness and texture of croissants. My favorite was the sugar cupbread because of the texture contrast, and the combination of bread and sugar was perfect. The parking lot isn't big but there are 10mins parking spots in front of the store.

    Cruffin...my favorite!
    Angie M.

    I swung by this place while getting coffee nearby, and I'm so glad I did. I'm not big on crabs and sweets but I was hungry. I grabbed and beef empanada with mild sauce and had to add a cruffin out of curiosity. What an amazing surprise! The empanada was outstanding and so was the sauce. The cruffin was not to sweet but just enough. Light fluffy and delicious

    3.5 stars! A cozy neighborhood bakery with a warm, welcoming vibe and kind staff. The croissants are huge and definitely filling, though they're on the heavier, doughier side instead of the light, flaky layers you might hope for. So far, some of the best croissants in town can be found at Magnol French Baking. Cappuccino was pretty mild, leaning more toward creamy milk with just a hint of coffee flavor, which some might enjoy if they prefer a softer brew. The sourdough bread is decent, but if you're after a more classic, crusty sourdough, you might have better luck at Magnol, Badolina, or even Whole Foods.

    Chicken Empanadas & Spinach/Artichoke Quiche
    Nicole L.

    Nice small bakery with fresh and frozen foods. Service was very friendly and offered a sample of their strawberry sourdough bread. It was soft and fresh laced with their homemade strawberry jam. I got a spinach artichoke quiche, chicken empanada, Nutella cruffin, palmiers and a latte. I couldn't wait to get home to try my quiche but when I cut into it, it seemed like it was not quite done in the middle. The presentation of that cruffin is super cute. Eating it on the other hand, not so cute lol. It's so good, rich with Nutella. VERY flaky! The palmiers were everything I wanted them to be (except BIGGER, hehe). I would also pass on the latte/coffee next time.

    Evelyn L.

    They weren't lying when they said this place was dangerously good. This has to be some of the highest quality bread I've ever had in my life. There's A LOT to choose from but we got 2 cup breads and a cruffin. Every single piece was delicious. The place was clean and service was very kind. I would gladly come back for the cup-breads and try out the empanadas.

French style baguettes are perfect. The only problem is the pastries suffer from humidity of Houston and if not eaten fresh they can get soggy and lose their texture. 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.

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.

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.

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.

It might not look great inside but that's when you know they focus on how the food taste, not wasting their energy on what the store looks like. Egg tarts 5/5 - must get especially when fresh and warm out of the oven, the eggy filling is sweet and soft but dangerously hot when too fresh so be careful, the flakey tart shell is soft but crispy at the edges helping to balance the jiggly egg filling. Pork puff pasty (cha siu sow) 5/5 - another must get, if sweets aren't your thing or you are craving something savory then this is for you, again the puff pastry so flakey and delicious, the pork filling wasn't very much but just enough to help accompany the soft yet crispy shell, the pork was soft and and just juicy enough to not be too overwhelmed with sauce but not dry either. Wife cookie (1/5) - skip this and don't waste your calories, the puff pastry again was lovely and flakey but I think they dropped the ball on the filling, it was a bit too goopy and thick for my liking, traditional wife cookies have candied wintermelon or some other firmer additives to give it more of a textual change but this one didn't have any of that and even the puff pastry couldn't balance it out, stick to the other 2 items instead. Tip: use cash to save on credit card fee (2.5% I think)

    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.

    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.

    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‍
