    A quaint, delightful window service stand that cranks out delicious cookies and pastries. Incredibly popular and it's easy to see why when there's a fresh assortment of sweet treats at the ready. We had a chia seed pudding, a variety of cookies, and even ended up buying a box of cookie dough to take home. Everybody was fresh and delicious. We also had a coffee drink that was just okay. Provided a fun way to wait for our reservation nearby

    Iced Matcha Latte
    Waverly H.

    On a walk and was walking past this establishment and glad I did. Walk up window to order. Had an Iced Matcha Latte and some chocolate chip cookies. Both were so good. The chocolate chip cookies are to die for, soft, moist and chewy. Will definitely comeback.

    Tiny's lives on its adorable namesake and picturesque storefront. This particular location doesn't have any seating. Ordering is at a farmhouse-esque window and pickup at an adjacent window. Lines can be long and customer service individualized, so wait times are variable. Tiny's chocolate cookies are my preferred variety: soft and moist center, slightly crispy edges, on the thinner side rather than stacked like the Levain's version. There are plenty of chocolate chips, but the fragrant dough flavor still comes through (unpopular opinion, but it's still my favorite part). The chocolate white chip version is also good, though slightly drier given the chocolate powder in the dough. I like the ice cream flavors at Tiny's, especially the fresh strawberry and fresh mint, which boast of true fruity strawberry and herbal mint. The creaminess is fine, but definitely not the most decadent in a city that is obsessed with ice cream. Coffee is merely passable, and I've tried a variety of lattes and seasonal drinks. It's just too acidic for me. The matcha is abysmal, murky and dusty tasting rather than the fresh fragrant matcha I've been spoiled by in Japan and specialty matcha stores. I tried the seasonal earl grey matcha with vanilla cold foam, and it was probably the worst drink I've had in recent memory. In addition to the dusty matcha, the earl grey syrup was sickly sweet and artificial tasting. The vanilla cold foam on top was straight chalk, super powdery tasting with a hint of vanilla aftertaste. I tried really hard to take more than two sips of this drink, especially at $8 a pop, but just couldn't get past the unpleasant combination. Even with the famous namesake of cookies, Tiny's claim to fame in my mind used to be its dark chunky brownies. Those things were decadent, dark, and insanely satisfying. The cocoa was so dense that the brownie slabs were close to black, yet somehow the texture was still the perfect balance of chewy and moist. The edge pieces are always my favorite, but I'd even eat the middle because the whole chunk was so dang good. Then.. Tiny's changed the recipe, and now its brownies are a shadow of what they used to be. The new version is made with lighter (perhaps not Dutch processed?) cocoa powder that tastes mildly of chocolate compared to its predecessor, and the texture is crumbly bordering on dry. It's a shame and definitely cut my visits to Tiny's by more than half. I'll come back for the cookies, maybe have the ice cream in a pinch, avoid the drinks (especially matcha), and continue to mourn the loss of the prior dark brownie supreme.

    I didn't do my research so when I came to this location, I thought it was the one closest to Tiny Boxwood, but instead I was next to Tiny No. 5 (which ended up working out for the better). I decided on 2 cookies & a kids sized cocoa. Service was pleasant and as I waited, it was nice to see regulars walking up for their everyday fix. Lots of kids and dogs so it's that kind of place where everyone seems to know one another. I liked the window setup they had, and you picked up your items to your left. One woman did come up to complain that one cookie was soft and the other was hard. They did switch it out for her as she was told that they were like that. I enjoyed my own cookie regardless, and I ended up getting more for the flight crew on my return trip at Tiny No. 5 after lunch. This is an appealing spot, and those who live here are lucky to have it!

    Chocolate Chip Cookie
    Mynika C.

    I've heard many great things about Tiny's. A coworker mentioned the cookies being delicious so I made my way over during the weekend. The current reviews match what she said, as well as them cookies! I don't know what Tiny and them are doing in the back but honey keep it up! I ordered two chocolate chip cookies and one ginger molasses (beloved likes the unique sweets - I said what I said lol). That chocolate chip cookie is outstanding! I wish I was eating one now, but don't worry because soon I'll be back. Haha! It was frigid outside when I went and thankfully I wasn't in line for too long. Service was good and the person was friendly. Check Tiny's out if you haven't already!

    Milk and Cookies ice cream
    Sheila P.

    Amazing soft cookies and other goodies. We were visiting Houston for the first time and were recommended to come here. We tried their chocolate chip cookies, ice cream, and their famous cinnamon roll. Everything was so good, that I had to slow down and savor it all. My friend got their fresh strawberry ice cream on a cone and I got a scoop of their milk and cookies flavor in a tiny cup. Texture of the ice cream was really good. The cookies were so soft that they easily broke apart. Also very kind people working here that are just trying to make your day :)

    Milk and cookies & death by chocolate ice cream
    Rachel S.

    I'm in love with this ice cream shop. Living nearby is a bit dangerous because I find myself eating more ice cream and cookies than I should! They have a cute little walk up storefront where you can order coffees, pastries, their world famous cookies, and ice cream! I am usually a chocolate chip cookie girl, or I go for the milk and cookies ice cream. I'm a creature of habit. The employees are always really sweet and take time to explain the menu. Once you place your order, it's just a couple minutes till they hand it to you and you can find a nearby spot to sit and eat! I've used the patio area of Tiny Boxwoods (their parent restaurant) a few times on a weekday afternoon to devour my sweets. Located in the heart of West U, they offer a nice stop to any West U natives or students after a day at the elementary school across the street. Now for their offerings - the chocolate chip cookies are arguably the best in Houston. (Trust me - I've done a taste test). Soft and heavenly, they offer the right chip to cookie ratio, are decadent, just the right level of sweet, and filling! On one occasion I tried a menu item where you can put a cookie at the base of your ice cream cup - mixed with the milk and cookies ice cream, it's heaven on earth. The milk and cookies ice cream flavor is my favorite because it mixes my two favorite things - vanilla ice cream and tiny's cookies. Always a solid choice (which means they sometimes run out early!) I've tried a few other flavors including their more recent death by chocolate which was absolutely delicious - though the milk and cookies flavor still takes the cake (no pun intended!) One of the best sweets shops in Houston, I'm so lucky I live nearby! This is a MUST-SEE for any Houstonians and those visiting Houston!

    Strawberry matcha latte and 3 chocolate chip cookies inside the bag behind
    Haeli Y.

    Cookies always hit. It's such a treat to grab to finish off your evening with a glass of milk! I also tried their strawberry matcha latte. It's not my favorite. I already knew from the color of the green it wasn't the right shade.. haha but I liked how they grind the strawberry puree to make it a strawberry cream foam top (my fave). It might've been cause it was later throughout the day and the matcha tin has been outside in the hit and not stored in a cool place. It won't be my first choice but if I do get the matcha latte again, I'll stop by earlier in the day. I really like their chocolate crinkle cookies as well! It's very fudgy though so it's for my time of the month Lolol TMI BUT it's great with a glass of milk! The workers are all so sweet and happy! Love being greeted by anyone there! Never had a bad experience here!

    The location is kind of tucked away, which actually adds to its charm--it has that quiet, old-fashioned feel that makes it stand out from the usual busy spots. I tried the cinnamon roll and it was excellent. The glaze was perfectly done--not too heavy, not too light--and the roll itself was soft, fluffy, and fresh. You can tell it was made with care. I also had a sprinkle cookie, which was just as good--soft, chewy, and satisfying without being overly sweet. On top of that, the service was great. Friendly, smooth, and welcoming from start to finish. Overall, it's a spot I'd definitely come back to if I'm in the mood for quality baked goods in a more relaxed setting.

    Chocolate Chip Cookie | Milk & Cookies Ice Cream
    Chau L.

    This was cute little spot serving cookies, ice cream, and drinks. The workers were very nice and patient as my friend and I decided what we wanted. We ordered - Iced matcha latte - Chocolate chip cookie - Milk and cookies ice cream | Vanilla ice cream, chocolate chip cookie chunks The iced matcha latte was mid. The chocolate chip cookie was good. It was soft and not too sweet. I enjoyed the milk and cookies ice cream as well.

    Chocolate chip cookie
    Vickie P.

    They have a great little set up for this area. The cookies were pretty good although they shorted one of our many that we ordered. The vanilla caramel crunch ice cream was a big hit but the mint chocolate chip ice cream tasted like spearmint. If we were in the area, we might stop in but we would not drive back over for them again. They consistently had a line to order but I would say abit pricey for what you get. Just my opinion. It helps that is connected to several different eating spots in the area.

    Menu (not including ice cream)
    Nick R.

    Cozy and tranquil, would be nicer with benches but I don't go often enough (3rd time in 5 years) to complain. The ice cream and baked goods are fantastic, the service is polite, and this is a nice spot to pick up snack and take it home in your car.

    Tiny's Milk & Cookies Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Tiny's Milk & Cookies

    How much is a single cookie, half a dozen, and a dozen? (I'm not sure if the cookie prices are cheaper if bought by half a dozen or dozen).

    I believe a singe cookie is about $2.50. Not sure how much it is for a half dozen or a dozen.

    Any vegan options?

    I remember seeing sorbets

    If i am allergic to peanuts and treenuts, and need to avoid x-contamination, what can i eat at Tiny's Milk & Cookies?

    There are nut and gluten free options, but you should ask the bakers at the window

    Is Apple Pay accepted?

    I'm 80% sure... I think they did have it but am not 100%

    Do they have vegan cookies?

    No they do not. But they have vegan ice cream.

    How much do the boxes of dough cost?

    I think it's $30

    Do they have gift cards and if they do, does anyone know if they have a pre-set amount?

    I'm almost sure they don't do GCs.

    Anyone know how much half a dozen is sold for?

    $15. It's 2.50 for 1 cookie (Or $2.71 with tax)

    Where are the prices though?

    The prices are steep, I think cookies are almost $3 a pop but if you're going to Tinys in West U, you don't worry about the prices, you eat your delicious cookie and go about your way. Coffee drinks and lattes between $3-$5.

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.

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.

The cupcake I got was cookies and cream but it just taste like reg store bought cake. You know the type that it's "chocolate" but there's not much choc flavor to it. The cream cheese frosting was like eating melted grease and added nothing to the rest of the cupcake. I ended up taking a bite and dumping the rest. I got one of their brownies but gave that to my husband so he could eat it at work. So can't really talk on that.

    Artisana is a bakery specializing in sourdough bread and French patisseries…read more Their shop is quaint and small with very limited seating. However, there is plenty of parking. They have a select variety of pastries. We got their butter croissant, blueberry cream cheese danish, and spinach pastry. The croissant was one of the best I had in Houston! 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.
