    Bacon jalapeño scone and iced honey latte
    Rylie F.

    Great service and cute interior. One of the best savory scones I've ever had - most and full of flavor! Delicious coffee too. Can't wait to return to try some more - especially keeping in mind for events as they make party trays of savory, cookies, and cakes! Yum

    Assortment of cookies

    Stopped in for a gift for a birthday! This is definitely the flavors and packaging I was going for. Thank you so much. I will be back to your cute bakery to try your Focaccia bread and Brookie, they both looked delicious. The chocolate chip cookies I bought for us personally were warm and delicious. Here's was I bought: Assortment of cookies: salted peanut butter, oatmeal cream pie, browned butter, banana pudding, chocolate chip, custom designed boot design cookie and "kitchen sink".and two cupcakes : vanilla cake w/ meringue vanilla filling and strawberry w/ strawberry meringue filling

    Great little bakery that makes great hot and iced coffee drinks. They have tasty cookies...some i've never seen before. the everything but the kitchen sink cookie was 5 stars...think of a cowboy cookie with more ingredients, The carrot cake cookie was another first for me....it was amazing! My wife enjoyed and shared an iced mocha coffee, I enjoyed a hot cappucino with 2 splendas, I asked the young lady waiting on us to add the splendas before making the cappucino, she didn't hear this, apologized and quickly remade it with the splendas. Amazing coffee and baked goodies and service, we'll be back for more.

    I've been wanting to try this bakery for a little while now and finally did! Let me tell you...from the oatmeal raisin cookies to the brown sugar rice crispy treats to the jalapeño scones... and can't forget my Crumby iced latte, they were all sooo deliciously satisfying! Lindsey is the baker of bakers and Jill in the front is just the sweetest... I will definitely be returning again and again!

    Got these delicious treats at Easter!

    This neighborhood gem is fantastic. From their mouthwatering cinnamon rolls to their amazing sugar cookies, you can go wrong. So good!

    Great bakery with outstanding cupcakes!!! When I first came to visit, I guess a few of the owners friends were in because we definitely felt a a bit ignored but also it was their grand opening weekend so they were a bit excited. I think the owner first became known via instagram and has a few fans. Also they ran out of samples which bummed me out a bit but I came to support a local business so I bought a bit of everything. The coffee was not my fav - wasn't bad and is ok if you don't have a decent machine at home. 7/10 The oatmeal cookie - very spice forward. It reminded me of a good chai latte. 8/10 Peanut butter cookie - not a stand out. Tasted home made but was not anything special and considering the price, it just was so so. 7.0 Chocolate chip cookie - very good but also not notable. Had a ton of chocolate chips but isn't something I would say I need to order again but enjoyed eating. 7.4 Earl grey scone - probably my least favorite. It was pretty dry and I didn't taste any earl gray flavor. 5 Cinnamon bun - was good, very classic cinnamon bun taste. Good for a local neighborhood bakery. 7.4 Strawberry cupcake - this is the thing to order. Order several dozen because you will want to devour them all instantly. The freshness of the strawberry just comes through. Is my favorite cupcake in the city. We ate this so fast I was wondering where did it go. It's too edible. I've come back several times just for this cupcake alone. Shawty got me in a chokehold. This is a cupcake you drive out for. 12/10 I haven't even tried the other cupcakes yet - but plan to. I fully anticipate the red velvet hitting hard. This is a very cute bakery and is miles better than any other bakery in the Bellaire area. Wonderful strawberry cupcakes that rival Houston's best. Customer service is pretty good and was only a a bit off during my first visit and even then it wasn't that bad.

    I just had the best blueberry coffee cake muffin! I love love love this place! I have had their cookies, brownies and coffee. They are so yummy! Not to mention how adorable this place is. If you haven't tried it, you should! I even grabbed a bag of ghost cookies that I'm excited about. Try it!!!

    The service was excellent . We enjoyed our coffee outside during a beautiful morning. The coffee was delicious as well.

    Cinnamon roll

    On the way back from running errands, I stopped by this bakery that I had been hearing good things about. Since I needed to get back to work, I sadly took the goodies to go and didn't linger. First, it's located in a center with a shared parking lot that's fairly easy to find, but there was road work when I was there so it took some time for me to be able to turn in when everyone had to merge... right where you turn in. I imagine it shouldn't be a problem once they're done. It's a cute little shop - the cutest one in the center, really, haha - and I was the only one there at the time. I didn't meet the owner, but I did meet her mom and the (a?) baker! It's a small place with seats and ample natural light. The offerings in the display case aren't extensive and on the more simple side standard to an American bakery, but as per the website, they seem to specialize in custom cakes, cupcakes, and cookies. They had a few cookies, brownies, cupcakes/muffins, cinnamon rolls, various scones, one brownie, etc. No pastries or anything to do with laminated dough. No cakes/cake slices either. They also offer drinks but I didn't get any this time. What I did get: Cinnamon Roll - a good cinnamon roll. I got this for my daughter but we all had some the next morning. I heated it up and it was a solid cinnamon roll. I liked this and how I really tasted the cinnamon. I do love cinnamon. Some don't have a nice gooey layer of the cinnamon so I do appreciate it. Might be a fluke too, but I was very pleased with the cinnamon I got in mine. Jalapeño Cheddar Scone - they remove all the seeds and the peppers are smoked/roasted. It's not spicy - more mild - and you can really get the jalapeño flavor. The cheese wasn't as obvious but I did detect it. There's a slight sweetness from honey, but I also wonder if the glaze used had sugar in it as well. Overall, I did like the flavors in this a lot! It was on the cold side, but I imagine it would taste lovely heated up a little. Olive Oil Focaccia - this thing is huge and thick. The air bubbles in it aren't big with how tall it is so it's a little denser than I'm used to, but it was great dipped in soup. Bag of Mini Cookies - this seems to be a random thing and changes. That is it rang up as 10 mini cookies, but because the cookies were "smaller than usual," there were 16 in the bag. They didn't have any other sugar cookies so I'm not sure how big their regular mini cookies are. This bag consisted of small Christmas lights with a gingerbread cookie base. They were so cute and pretty I couldn't resist! And they were delicious! I usually don't like decorated sugar cookies because they're too sweet, but I very much like these. That's not to say they aren't sweet, but the gingerbread cut down on it and they were indulged upon. They were fresh and soft. As the days passed, they did get less soft, but no less wonderful. I will definitely go back for more bags of mini cookies and would even consider getting more as gifts or party favors. I hope these are a regular item. Downside: my kid with multiple food allergies spotted them and was very intrigued. Looks like I need to learn how to make versions he can have. They do have a GF peanut butter cookie and GF lemon muffin, but they contain eggs. As far as I know, that is the extent of their allergy-friendly offerings. Verdict? It's a lovely addition to the neighborhood! If you look at their website, the custom baked goods they have made look amazing. In the storefront, everything looked good and they're super helpful with any questions! I will definitely stop again by to try more things. Sad I can't get anything for my kid with multiple food allergies - especially since he has a birthday coming up - but that isn't uncommon. Price-wise, it's about $4-5 per each item. The bag of mini cookies is $10. In short: it definitely adds up fast. I didn't try their cookies this time around to see if the $4-5 price is worth it, but count me in for Round 2!

    I've lived near the area for a while and barely came across this place! Truly a hidden gem!! The confetti cupcake was probably the best I've ever had, you can actually taste the "birthday cake" flavor and the BUTTERCREAM is insane. So silky and smooth. The iced honey lavender latte tastes SO GOOD too! I usually like coffee flavor w a hint of sweetness and this is exactly that. The owner also asked me to try the coffee to make sure it was good or if there was any adjustments she needed to make. Such a sweetheart! I will be coming back here to satisfy my sweet tooth from now on.

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. Next time we'll come earlier and get a bigger order and try their other offerings.

Parking can be difficult, but there are dedicated Koffeteria spots in front of the business as well as surrounding paid curbside parking.

Beware parking here at busier times - when I visited on a Saturday at 1:30pm it was mayhem. On entering, I saw an array of desserts and savory items. I decided to also pick up a savory kolache-type pastry (I never got the name of it) and the cake! The employee was quick and helpful - she located the cake, showed me the design and lettering to make sure it was ok before I left. The cake was a huge hit!

It is subtle, buttery, and flaky and does not go stale from staying out all day. I think these Houston croissants are the most similar to the ones I had in France! The blueberry cream cheese danish had a healthy and generous amount of blueberries. It was flaky, and the cream cheese flavor was not overwhelming or artificial. The spinach pastry was also flaky like the others and had a good spinach and cream flavor. I also had a bite of my friend's cinnamon kouign-amann, but it was not as good as the others and was a bit on the drier side. All the pastries I got were well balanced with subtle flavors and had golden, crispy flakes. I really enjoyed them, and although I have been here a handful of times, it's definitely a Houston croissant staple, which I will be visiting more often!

    Artisana is my go-to for fresh bread; it's the best I've found in the city, especially the classic…read moresourdoughs. The scones and pastries are more hit-or-miss, sometimes fantastic and sometimes slightly overcooked and dry. This is a place to buy great bread. If you're there and the croissants and pastries look good, go for it--but there are better destinations if that's your draw. Zero atmosphere and not a place to hang out.

    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.

    Honestly, I try not to indulge in sweet desserts for health reasons, but whilst visiting family, my…read moremother couldn't stop raving about this place and how she so enjoyed their desserts so much that she goes back over and over again to buy by the dozens to gift to all her friends..... especially their chocolate panache tarts.... but unfortunately, the day we went to try, they were all sold out by lunch time. So, what we decided to do was to place an order for the chocolate ganache tarts a couple of days later, but while we were here, we'd try their Amandine tart, Sachertorte, and an Eclaire. Wow, I just had a bite of each and....daaaang, they were so so soooo good! So satisfying, so decadent, so next level deliciousness! ... perhaps a little sweet, but not overly so... thoroughly enjoyed just the taste of each. A couple of days later when we finally got to try their chocolate ganache tarts... wow... again! So obviously freshly baked, such wonderful density, flavor, and bite... with a butter cookie textured shell..... absolute heaven, and so difficult to just limit oneself to just one bite, but I managed. I'm sure we'll be back here again during our next visit.

    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.
