The Cottage Grocery is such a gem. It's this cozy little spot on Joanel where you can grab coffee, a breakfast taco, a fully prepared dinner to take home, a bottle of wine, and a box of cookies all in one stop. Basically if you want to look like you cooked but didn't, this is your place. The chicken salad is famous for a reason. It sells out constantly and I get why. The pastries and cookies are fantastic, the soups and casseroles actually taste homemade (better than homemade, honestly), and everything is made fresh in-house daily. I've grabbed their chicken tetrazzini for lazy weeknights more times than I'd like to admit. Staff is sweet, the space is adorable, and the wine selection is surprisingly solid for such a small shop. Great for dinner parties, host gifts, a quick lunch, or just treating yourself. read more

I had first seen Cottage Grocery on tiktok which made me curious to try it. I had stopped by on a Friday morning around 8:30 and it was decently busy. While there is an attached parking lot, I can see it getting quite full during busier times. I tried their iced latte with lavender syrup. For my personal taste, if it was just a touch creamier I think it would've been perfect but otherwise not a bad latte. My total came out to $6.50 which isn't great but not unbelievable. They also had a display of pastries that looked tempting but I didn't peruse much since I was in a slight rush. For the grocery aspect, they have lots of what looked like prepared foods/meals. Otherwise of the goods they offer it seems to be largely wines, some paper/decorative goods, and some other food items like pickled vegetables and tortilla chips. Not the largest grocery selection. There is also a small seating area read more

Was recommended to come here by a friend for their coffee which did not disappoint. I have tried the hazelnut latte & their now signature latte- basically a dulce de leche latte. Both iced and I really liked both of them! They have a great selection of premade foods. Would love to come grab some of their premade meals at some point. I opted for their bacon and egg salad. Great flavor- and the roll it's served on is super yummy and just a little sweet to pair with the egg salad. I also tried the chicken salad- theirs is classic- has cranberry and walnut in it. The pesto pasta salad is flavorful but would do good with some lemon. It is definitely a popular place so expect to wait a little bit. The parking kind of sucks also. But it has a cute table space and counter top so you can sit and do work. You would have to get there early to get a seat most likely. read more

I had been dyingggg to try The Cottage Grocery and it did not disappoint. Such a cute little cafe with a market inside full of grab-and-go meals, boutique wines, and so many good things to look at while waiting for your order. We got a matcha, a cold brew, and two breakfast tacos and everything was really good. It's definitely a little pricey, but the quality and flavor made it worth it honestly. We sat outside after our workout and had the best slow breakfast morning. I already want to go back to try the baked goods and some of the premade meals because everything looked amazing!!! read more

This place is super cute! My friend recommended this place and I was excited to try it. There was so much to take in... specialty snacks, ready made meals (fresh and frozen), coffee shop, small charcuterie boards, baked goods!! I took home 2 ready made meals home and they were both good. I also bought an iced latte with coconut milk and it was pretty good. The only downside is the parking is very tight and limited and the ready made meals are a bit pricey but they are tasty and convenient. I will definitely be back to try the baked goods and more ready made meals! read more

Perfect hidden gem. Tad confusing at first since there are multiple sections to adventure. The cashiers were friendly when I was able to stand in line to get through to understand. The parking lot was nonstop and a bit tight but not much they could do about that. There is a lovely little patio around the outside. I ordered a sandwich which came from them whereas my coworkers did the cooler case. I could have spend hours looking at all the entertaining possibilities. I likely would do that in the future The sweet treat sprinkle cookie at the end was delicious. It reminded me of homemade. read more

The coffee was kind of a let down, people raved about the iced nutella latte but I could barely taste anything (could have been an off day). c Cookie was FANTASTIC though. read more

As usual, the staff is polite and very, very helpful. We had a delicious poblano corn dish as an appetizer or could be a side dish. It was delicious everybody loved it and I don't think we bought enough. Their homemade chips are absolutely the best nice and thick and crunchy just yummy. Next time I'm just gonna come and get appetizers and we will just have those for dinner or lunch. read more

I had a very uncomfortable experience at this store. While shopping, I felt closely watched and judged in a way that didn't feel welcoming at all. The owner, Julie, would stare for long periods of time, which made the entire shopping experience feel tense and uneasy. Even after making a purchase, the atmosphere remained unwelcoming. As a customer, you expect to feel respected and treated equally, but that wasn't my experience here. I left feeling uncomfortable and not valued. I was especially surprised given how much hype this place gets on TikTok. Based on that, I expected a much better experience. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to it either the cookies tasted stale and the almond croissants seemed undercooked. I hope the business takes time to reflect on how customers are treated and works toward creating a more inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone. read more

I'm a long-time customer of the store. I shop at The Cottage Grocery multiple times every week. One of their managers needs better training asap. One night, I stopped by the store, having just left a local park with my dog. I was exiting my car, with my dog in my arms, and I was in the process of turning around to put my dog in the driver seat while I went into the store for a quick 5-minute shop. A youngish male manager (I think he has red hair-hard to tell as he often wears a cap), bounded out of the store to accost me in the parking lot and gripe that I couldn't bring my dog in the store. I have never brought my dog into the store and I have never attempted to bring my dog into the store. I told the manager this, and also told him that if he had waited about 2 more seconds, he would have seen me put my dog in the driver's seat. I told him that in the future it would be appropriate to wait for a customer to actually try to bring a dog into the store before saying anything. He backed off and muttered an apology under his breath. I thought about mentioning this encounter to the owner, but decided to drop it. SO--tonight. I was at the checkout counter, when a young man entered the store with his dog that appeared to be wearing a service dog vest, although I'm not 100% sure about this. This same manager quickly went to the front door and started loudly telling the customer that the dog could not come in. The customer said his dog was a service animal, and the manager asked him what condition necessitated the service animal. The customer seemed taken aback and then answered the question. Under the ADA, and perhaps Texas state law, it is legally questionable, if not illegal, to ask the customer to prove his disability. And the manager could have asked the customer to step aside, out of earshot of other customers, to discuss the matter. The situation was horribly mishandled and, in the end, I think the customer left. This manager lacks good judgment and needs a refresher course in customer service, at a minimum. read more

I literally love everything about this place, everything is delicious employees are amazing!

Heading to Tiny's but decided to detour here. Had the Beef and Blue sandwich which was delicious. Blue cheese spread really did it. Also had some of their hibiscus lemonade which was good and tasted like mint lemonade (free samples too). Cherry bomb Cookie was ok but has raisins which I don't really care for. Nutella cookie was filled to the brim with chocolate and good sized. My goal is to try every cookie here before I die read more

I discovered The Cottage Grocery early on in the pandemic. One of our Leadership members would get our Command Center, which I was fortunate enough to get to help on, a big box of assorted cookies from here each Monday. Once the box arrived each Monday, I would run over and grab the peanut butter one for myself. I am not fibbing when I tell you it's the best peanut butter cookie I've ever had. TCG is very close to our office, so I got some cookies for my staff last month, 1/4 of them were peanut butter. the staff loved them! I also discovered the best ginger cookie I've ever had that very same day. They aren't joking around with these amazing cookies. I also grabbed a couple of small exquisite looking salads for myself for lunch and dinner. I took my Auntie to TCG a couple of weeks ago, simply for the cookies, when we were in the neighborhood. No parking! The place was packed! This darling hidden gem, coffee shop, bakery, grocery all in one is so charming and quaint. Sometime I will take myself there to actually sit down for a coffee and even more cookies. I highly recommend TCG with all my cookie-loving heart. read more

Love this place but unfortunately there is not enough parking. There are occasions that I had to leave because there was not a parking space. I'm going to have to find another favorite boutique grocer. read more

I first visited this spot when it was Tres Market and picked up a variety of cookies for a friend's party at their house. The shop itself is so neat filled with gifts, grab and go items, and a large variety of premade meals. I could tell it was a neighborhood favorite with how busy they were. I'd love to go back and grab some of their meals. A separate time, I ordered 8 meals for a corporate lunch and learn from here during the work week. The food was homemade and tasty. I will say that the vendor they use for the delivery had a difficult time finding the suite inside the building and was extremely rude. Next time I'd definitely prefer picking up to avoid dealing with him. read more

Phenomenal grocery. I thought it was best kept secret until I realized all of my friends love this gem! Everything I've tried here is out of this world. read more

Extremely rude staff and sub par compared to the Dallas location. My latte was basically water and when I tried to take a quick (very important) work call a member of the staff began yelling at me for where I was sitting, even though there was a chair present and no signage stating otherwise. No outlets anywhere to charge your laptop or phone. I will not be back. read more

I came in at 6:40pm and tried placing an iced latte order but was denied by the lady working back there :/ I was disappointed as I came all the way out after getting it recommended by a friend read more

Great little market with delicious premade meals. Great baked goods and coffee drinks

Tres Market Foods is a cute little neighborhood cafe and market for pre-packed meals, snacks, and desserts for the busy family + a local haunt for a bite. The calm jazz music makes it a relaxing place to spend a morning or afternoon! The menu is overwhelming, but you can just browse their fridge/freezer section of nicely labeled packages: cinnamon rolls, scones, dips, soups, pastas, casseroles, sandwiches, salads, entrees, and a lot more! There are chips and crackers, selection of wines, and a display case of baked goods (cookies, croissants, Rice Krispie treats, and cake) and daily sandwiches. The lattes seemed popular and looked pretty, and there's self serve water + complimentary lemonade as well. They have sandwiches sitting in the display case ready to go, and the ham sandwich was really cute with the twine and wooden picnic knife. The ham and tomato flavors were simple and fresh. Breakfast tacos were very straightforward and came with a herby green sauce on the side that definitely amped up the flavor. The oatmeal cookie tasted just like a Pepperidge Farms Santa Cruz (oatmeal raisin flavor) cookie and was just as soft but slightly thicker. Our subtotal was $27. They have about 5-7 tables for 2 people (but can combine to seat 4 people) and a nice parking lot! The spot was fun to try, and it's nice knowing there's an option for meals you can grab and reheat at home. The food was fine and but nothing spectacular in my opinion, especially for the price... that, and customer service was a quite chilly today (felt like they wanted us to leave the whole time, yikes), so I'm not itching to return. read more

If you're not white just don't come here expecting good customer service. Got there at like 4:20pm and looked around since it was our first time in the shop. Watched the white guy working behind checkout desk stare at us the whole time we were trying to figure out what we wanted. There was a white group of people in there as well that he was not staring down. Then he put up the sign saying the coffee bar was closed. This business just opened recently and nowhere on your website does it say your coffee bar closes 30 minutes before close, yet this guy sat there and watched people look at the coffee menu and instead of letting us know you just looked at us as you put up the "coffee bar is closed" sign? I guess he didn't HAVE to tell us but it would have been decent to do so or at least have that on your website since we came a far distance to try this place. Will not be coming back because the vibes were just not welcoming at all and I felt watched. Maybe he could tell we wanted coffee and was watching us to see if we would hurry up and order but I just really didn't like the vibes of the staff. Please at least put your coffee bar hours on your website since that is literally the reason this place is viral in the first place... Went to Fein Coffee instead just a few minutes down the road and was met with exceptional service and better looking (and probably better tasting) coffee so I reccomend that place over this one! read more

Their snickerdoodle is beyond next level. I've had some good bites of food here but their snickerdoodle with a black currant iced tea is my new #1 afternoon treat. Service is always pretty fast. Unfortunately the place is tiny. Often there are obnoxious children after school (with obnoxious River Oaks parents). read more

Great place, great products and sweets. Nice customer service. Only problem is the tables are pretty tight in there.

This has been recommended to me for years, since it's come so highly recommended I've been buying gift cards for any new moms, anyone recovering and unable to cook or anyone busy. The prices seemed a little high to grab on a lazy day but I finally relented. Worth every penny. Everything is delicious and I never want to cook again. I'll be here once a week. read more

Good for grab and go food or you can sit inside and eat. Frozen and refrigerated breakfast, lunch and dinner options. read more

My fiancé and I had the ham and cheese sandwich and it tasted good. Later we would realize that something was wrong. We were constipated all day and it is now night and we are in severe stomach pain. That was the only thing we had. In addition the coffee is terrible. Probably the worst I've had in Dallas. The prepared food looks good, but it is awfully expensive and after this experience, I will never be back. read more

I love Cottage Grocery!! It used to be called Tres Market. I have been going here for years. Their food is delicious and is great to pick up for a quick meal or bring to someone who may have just had a baby or has been in the hospital, etc. They have numerous prepared salads, which are excellent. Also, some delicious baked goods. You can pick up fresh food that has been put in their freezer, and put it in your own freezer for a later meal. They also have fresh casseroles that have not been frozen, that you can pop in the oven and use on the same day . I have a home in another state and I was telling the owner that I wish they had one out there. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!! read more

I was lovingly gifted a card to this spot, and I was super excited to check it out. Tres Marker is beautifully filled with amazing treats and good eats. I wasn't super hungry, so I ordered a croissant and Nutella filled cookie; they were absolutely delicious! The staff were quite friendly and helpful, so I didn't feel overwhelmed with the endless amount of options. My friends also ordered lemon cake, banana bread and various cookies and muffins. I can't wait to return to try their savory and hot foods. I'm also excited to try their tea blends. Although there were quite a few patrons, the area was not loud as all; everyone was happily enjoying meals. If you're on this side of town and need a quick but filling meal, or a nice cup of coffee/tea with a treat, Tres Market is it! read more

The Cottage Grocery - Exterior - Bakeries Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've come to Tres Market so many times that I'm shocked I haven't left a review yet. Tres Market is my go-to for buying delicious prepared meals for friends after they've had a baby, a big move, or other life event. They have both a frozen section (great for if you want to drop something off on a friend's porch and stay good for a bit, and it also gives them the option of when they want to eat) and a refrigerated section (great if the meal's definitely going to be consumed that day). The cinnamon rolls and monkey bread are amazing, and the chicken divan, chicken pot pie, grilled chicken breasts, and broccoli casserole are all great--I haven't had anything I didn't like. On top of prepared foods/meals, Tres Market also has a fresh section, coffee bar, and bakery. I've enjoyed their chicken salad for lunch, and the ginger spiced cookie was great. Overall, I'm a big Tres Market fan. (Just note that the prices are a little $$$.) read more

Delicious prepared meals! It's as if you or your Grandmother cooked these meals. You definitely taste the luv' & quality put into each serving, the service is top tier & the ambience is very pleasant. The last two years I've also purchased the sides for our Thanksgiving meal from Tres Market, it's my new go to for holiday food help. There's so much to do, this makes it so much more pleasant & I'm able to spend more time w/ family versus in the kitchen. read more

Cute spot with terrible customer service. And some of the prices make Erewhon look downright reasonable. This place is catered towards a very specific clientele read more

The chicken salad sandwich on cranberry bread was top notch! We also picked up a few desserts. Equally delicious.

This is a lovely neighborhood market! I found Tres Market by chance while I was walking around the neighborhood. The staff were very pleasant and helpful as soon as I walked in. They have a variety of breads, baked goods, wines and even homemade prepared meals! I grabbed a tortellini meal to prepare as a meal prep for the work week. I also tried their fresh pretzel bread and it was amazinggg! So soft and fresh. The bakery portion also sells coffees, teas, sandwiches and deserts. I grabbed a raspberry sugar cookie to go which was delicious! I will definitely be visiting this market more often read more

I was very excited to see Tres Market, a prepared foods store, near my home but was taken aback at the poor quality ingredients in their meals. High fructose corn syrup? Even the fast food restaurants got rid of that. And there are other ingredients equally as bad such as titanium dioxide and canola oil. I very much appreciate that Tres Market lists the meal ingredients but it's as if the owners are absolutely clueless when it comes to nutrition and healthy ingredients. There's a very large potential customer market in their immediate area that want healthy meals for their families and I urge the owners to research healthy and non-healthy ingredients and switch the bad ones out. You'll likely find your business to be much more successful. read more

A cute little market, they offer fresh or frozen items. A cute bakery inside that offers pastries you can have with wine or coffee. Open kitchen layout behind cash wrap. Apple Pay accepted, its 2020 now and they've been open for 1 year so far. They cater, and they also have large food trays for catering as well. Lunch items are offered to the left as you walk in if you don't get distracted by their cute decor! Lunch items include, egg salad, egg sandwich with challah bread, salad, soups and more! I loved my snickerdoodle cookie! Best snickerdoodle cookie I have had in a while! I bought creamer spinach for home. It was too hard to decide between entrees. Paper menu is available! read more

We love this place. The Tropical Chicken Salad is my wife's favorite for lunch during the week. Their Key Line Bars are wonderful, as is the Texas Caviar. We haven't had a lot of their entree's but the ones we've had were tasty. I don't think you can go wrong there. Next time you don't feel like cooking, give them a try. read more

We picked up a salad from here last week, and it was so so good! I normally do not like shredded chicken but it was so tasty in the salad with the berries, crunchy noodles, cheese, and the light and tangy dressing! I can't wait to try other items on their menu! read more
