Rarely do I give 5/5 stars but Water Oak Cafe deserves it!! I will say when we first went we weren't a fan of having to order food first but we gave our feedback to manager. They listened and what do you know, they have lovely servers now!! Food has always been great. Fresh and delicious! Service now is perfect. This is our go to brunch spot for the fam!! read more

Water Oak Cafe & Bakery - Water Oak Breakfast and Breakfast Tacos - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Webster, Texas

We like their breakfast, but unfortunately had to leave yesterday because, after patiently sitting there for a while, no one ever came to wait on our table. It wasn't terribly busy and we were seated by the door. No one ever came to offer us coffee while we waited for a server to acknowledge us and take our order. The hostess was standing right there the entire time. read more

Great service & delicious food! The wait on a Sunday was about 40 minutes, but it was well worth it. read more

Within the last three times that I've gone/been forced to go their food never cease to disgust me, there's always something wrong with everything (salty, bitter, bland, soggy,etc). But in retrospect I love their service. Their servers are respectful and coordinate, and the indoor decor is an elegant/pleasant which is why the food upsets me so much!!!!! how does a place like this? How can you have all these great things but horrible food! read more

This was my first time going to Water Oak cafe. It is very nice- love the decor and all the small details. The service staff is so kind and attentive. It was a bit much when ordering as I had to carry my class of water and buzzer all at once. As soon as you pay- turn around and fill up your glass of water (it's a bit tight) The food was amazing! Next time I go back, I will definitely try their pastries/desserts! read more

My husband and I went for breakfast on a Thursday morning. Our first time in. Cute place. Great staff. Nice selection of bakery items and egg dishes. I had the cherry pie with a sugar free caramel latte which I enjoyed. Husband had eggs Benedict with cheesy grits and regular brewed coffee. His only disappointment was the grits. He said it tasted more like cornbread. So I deducted one star for the grits. We'll be back but will order something different. read more

Came here on a Sunday, place is packed. The wait is long, so prepare for that. We ended up grabbing an outdoor spot, it wasn't too hot yet there was some shade, but I can't see sitting outside on a hot day. I ordered their avocado toast. I like that they were not stingy with the avocado, it was loaded. My food tasted great, it was flavorful and good balance. They also have bakery goods, but we didn't order any. Their customer service was great, a manager came and greeted us. Overall, this is a cute place to grab brunch with friends or family, just keep in mind the wait times. read more

The food overall was good. The biscuits and gravy came out cold and we returned it and after the second time the staff made sure to provide hot gravy. They were nice and apologized. The remainder of the food, shrimp And grits, pancakes, and brisket were hot. The chai was good! read more

Food was very good. I had the breakfast tacos and cheese grits, my wife had the migas. No meat (Lenten Friday) so I can't comment on bacon, sausage, etc. But I will go back and find out. Counter service brought to the table. Service was friendly and pretty fast. They weren't super busy when we arrived but didn't look like they were getting backed up as more customers arrived. Ambiance was a bit loud but very clean and nicely decorated. Really liked the place, glad it was suggested and will return. read more

Water Oak Cafe & Bakery - Table - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Webster, Texas

This place is posh and casual. The service is friendly and attentive. The tostadas for breakfast are awesome. The food is fairly priced but you will still be dining with $20+. I highly recommend this place whether dining with a friend, your significant other and/or your family. read more

The 5 star place is adorable, service is lightning fast, and the food is to die for! Drinks are superb, and sweet tea is simply sublime!

First time here, told ab it from a friend. I'm so happy I came. Food was great and the latte was amazing. Had grilled cheese and grits and omelette with fries. Next time I'm going to try the burger on a pretzel bun. read more

MANAGERS are terrible terrible terrible. RACIST to minorities. Coffee is Mid. Food is Mid. Rush you to eat. Rush you to get out of the restaurant once you're done. Didn't seat me until whole party was here but then I witness them sit someone down without their whole party no problem. Such a bad experience here. BEWARE read more

First thing's first. The desserts here are absolutely amazing. The signature cookie is the best cookie I've ever had. The lemon pie is incredible. The food is really good. Not a ton of options but everything looks good. I had the Water Oak Benny eggs Benedict and it was really good. Their coffee is outstanding. Service is great. I highly recommend this place for brunch, breakfast and especially a quick dessert. read more

I ordered their 2 layers blueberry cake, and wow, was that amazing! Staff were very helpful as I placed my order over the phone. Cake was delicious and light, and the sweetness was perfect.

Food was good, service was good, decor was very pleasing and pretty. Their waitlist rules however, are stupid. I got on the list and it said 35-45 min. for 2 people. Ok so I drove across the st. to run an errand for 10 min. I get a text saying table is ready. I drive right back over there. Walk in and they say they have my table away bc it's been more than 10 min since they said the table was ready. NOT TRUE. I showed the time on the texts and it had only been 7 min. Furthermore, nothing said my table would be given away after 10 minutes. I spoke to the manager and got the dumbest answer that they use Ai and they had no control!!! Makes no sense. They did get us a table shortly. read more

Fabulous restaurant! Excellent waitress-Allison G.-Food was excellent, I got turkey sandwich and fruit-my husband got Shrimp Tacos and a salad, all was excellent. We got Blueberry Crumble Pie. Everything we ate was fresh and delicious! Great ambiance! I highly recommend this restaurant! Food is to die for! YUM! read more

Cute spot in Clear Lake. It's a self serve restaurant, cafeteria style to order food. You are not seated until you order. I recommend looking at the menu before arriving. Otherwise, you'll be rushing in line to order. I ordered the chicken caprese burger. Chicken was a little cold, but overall the burger was yummy. I also ordered a blueberry muffin, AMAZING! read more

Love the food and staff! Great and inviting atmosphere! Highly recommended and for a timely sit down use the online waitlist. They are busy because they know what they doing! read more

I really wanted to like this place, but it was just okay. It's so cute inside and the vibes are welcoming. Plenty of parking and indoor and outdoor seating. All of the staff was friendly and helpful. However the avocado toast has very little flavor in my opinion, so maybe if I had tried something else I would have liked this place more. The sweet potato fries were alright but more crispy than anything else. I'm not sure what the sauce is on the side of it but it was good. I liked the iced earl grey I ordered with lavendar syrup. I didn't try any of the desserts this time but it all looked beautiful in the case!! Not sure if I'd come back but if I did I would probably just stick to trying the desserts. read more

Very good Egg Sandwich on Brioche. The Cheese Grits made me think of my Aunt Thelma's grits. She lived in Baton Rouge and called them her Junior League Grits. Coffee very good. It was a little warm but our weather has been so hot/cold lately, no one knows what temperature to set the thermostat. Will I come again...yes. read more

Water Oak Cafe & Bakery - Cheese Grits...Like my Aunt Thelma's Baton Rouge Junior League Cheese Grits . - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Webster, Texas

Super cute cafe with some great breakfast/brunch and lunch options. I felt like the prices were high for what I got and the flavor was lacking with some of the food. I chose the sausage with my breakfast which had almost no flavor/spices, and nobody at home would eat the leftovers either. I ended up ordering three desserts to go (confetti cheesecake, mini key lime pie and sprinkle vanilla cake), and the confetti cheesecake was definitely the best. I had been looking forward to trying the key lime pie for literally years and felt that it was missing that quintessential tart, lime-y flavor. Maybe the full sized pie is better? Overall, I was disappointed because I was really wanting to like this place. read more

Such a cute place. Counter service. The food was delicious. I had the Tostadas and to calm my sweet tooth I had the banana French toasted. We will definitely be back read more

Went to brunch with my husband and one thing I can say is that this place is so aesthetically pleasing. The vibe of the establishment is very cute and great for a girly brunch. The food just was not my favorite and for the price of our meal it left me not feeling great. I ordered the avocado toast and it lacked in flavor and the nuts that were on it just wasn't for me. But I can say the desserts looked amazing so sad I didn't get one. Service was as fast as they could be on a busy day and they treated us very nicely. read more

Their online waitlist is excellent. It was convenient. We got seated right away. Kid friendly menu, too:)

I've been to Water Oak a few times with my coworkers and I love it every time! It's such a nice space very bright and cheery without being too loud. I've made sure to try something new each time I've gone and so far I can recommend the Water Oak Breakfast, The Challah French toast, and the Avocado toast! For dessert I would recommend you try the lemon cookie, it's giant and delicious! I will definitely be visiting Water Oak regularly, they have great service, great food, and awesome desserts! read more

Food was great everything was great until the end. They said the table was reserved and that since we paid we shouldn't have a problem leaving due to it being reserved. To me that is so rude and kicking out a paying customer who tipped you a more than 20 percent, 5 minutes later ask them to leave. I get it you're busy. But think about your CUSTOMERS read more

First off, this place is adorable! The atmosphere is light and pretty, and the staff are very sweet. Loved it! The food was delicious, but the bakery is to die for! Omg We ordered a chocolate chip cookie, a mini blackberry cream pie, and a raspberry cream cheese muffin. Everything was out of this world. Definitely, will be coming back! read more

Such a cute spot for brunch in the Clear Lake area! The food is great, and the bakery is definitely worth trying.

I don't like that they have changed it to wait service. I preferred ordering at counter. I also felt it was really tacky that staff approached my table and asked us how much longer we'd be staying. I have never had that happen anywhere! We certainly paid enough for our meals and should have been able to enjoy them in peace. Please go back to the real cafe experience! read more

Water Oak Cafe & Bakery - Plain tasteless potatoes, cold eggs, hard rom temperature biscuit. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Webster, Texas

First time here. We went for brunch on a Sunday. Line was out the door (good sign). The initial impression once inside was, this place is loud. No music was on which would have helped push the conversation noise down a little. The owner, Dena, greeted us in line with menus. Dena also selected a table for us prior to ordering so there was no wait for seating after we ordered. I got the Texas Brisket Hash, WOW!! This did not disappoint. Flavors were great and there was a generous portion of brisket. My wife got the breakfast tacos and there was some slight misunderstanding. She chose chorizo for the meat selection but it was served on the side ($5 addition) rather than inside the tacos as expected. Not sure where the confusion was. However also delicious and very generous portions. They are also a bakery and the cakes and pastries looked great. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more

Great food, great service. A little pricey but a very nice place. Have never been disappointed in breakfast here

The food here is delicious, fluffy fresh biscuits and a cream gravy that's not too heavy. Was not a fan of placing my order at the counter and then waiting for it to be brought to my table. Gives girl brunch vibes but as previously mentioned it's strange that you would purchase your mimosas (set up) at the counter and then serve yourself. read more

Initially I came there not expecting the best but also not looking for the worse if you can understand what I mean. I along with my family came around the time brunch would be, there was a small wait but no longer than 20 minutes. This place was packed and busy. We ordered our food and maybe 15 to 20 minutes later they were bringing us our meals. All I have to say is simply "Delicious". Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. WE WILL BE BACK. P.S. we were so hungry we forgot to take pics of our food and let's just say everything made the "empty plate club"!!! read more
