We tried the strawberry cinnamon roll, the chocolate chip cookie, and the biscoff cinnamon roll, and honestly, words can't do justice to how delicious each one was. Every bite was pure perfection -- soft, flavorful, and clearly made with so much care. We'll definitely be back to Shakkar POST Houston, and honestly, it might just become our go-to dessert spot. If you haven't tried Shakkar yet, do yourself a favor and go now -- you won't regret it!

The latte was well made and enjoyable, although the portion was a little on the smaller side for the price point. The bakery display was clean, well presented and had a good variety of items that all looked delicious. Unfortunately, we were already too full to try any of the baked goods, so I'll have to save those for another visit. The service was courteous and prompt. Despite it being a quick stop, everything was handled efficiently and pleasantly. Overall, a solid quick stop for a coffee. If I'm back in the area, I'd definitely make room to try some of their baked goods next time.

If you order any crepes and waffles - they make it pretty quickly and serve then to you. I got the basic chocolate crepe #1, and it is amazing. The chocolate is rich but not too sweet which I love. The place has comfy seats. It's an overall great place for hangouts especially on late nights since they close pretty late.

We stumbled upon this little gem while working a couple doors down for two days, and I'm so glad we…read moredid! The first morning, a pretty big group of us walked in all at once, and I honestly expected a long wait. Instead, the two employees working absolutely crushed it. They got everyone's orders out surprisingly fast without sacrificing quality, and you could tell they were working incredibly hard. The pastry case alone is enough to make you stop in, everything looked fresh, beautiful, and homemade. I ordered the Texan Croissant both mornings because it was that good. It was easily one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. The croissant was perfectly flaky, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the runny egg yolk took it over the top. I also grabbed a coffee the second day, and it was really good as well. My only critique is that both days we visited, there was a strong smell inside that reminded me of urine or maybe a mildew-type cleaning product. It wasn't enough to keep me from coming back (clearly, since I went two days in a row!), but it was definitely noticeable and something I hope they can figure out. Overall, the food was outstanding, the service was impressive, and I'll absolutely be back for another Texan Croissant if i'm ever in the area!

So, I usually order the croissants, which are big and appropriately flaky. I don't know if they make thier own dough. It is an intense project of ensuring the dough and butter mesh to appropriately create the steam in the dough. They could be using a lamination machine. Fun fact: I always make croissants from scratch. I also make a salmon en crute which I use canned salmon, cream cheese, peppercorns crushed, lemon juice and a pinch of lemon zest. I stuff my mixture in my croissant and top it with everything but the bagel seasoning from Trader Joe's. I also make a great raspberry almond cheesecake croissant. I add the raspberry and almond paste to the softened cream cheese. I add a bit of vanilla extract, one egg, and a little sour cream. Maybe 3/4 cup. Flo Paris has delicious banana bread. I absolutely love that it's not that sweet! They also have a delicious quiche Lorraine that is simple the best. They have a good variety of croissants. Like they have a ham and cheese croissant that is delicious. They have a variety of quiche. A very delicious variety of sandwiches, drinks, coffee, tea, desserts and treats as well as homemade potato chips. I know I'm forgetting some things. Come on over and enjoy.

Glass Mountain Magazine held an open-mic event here as a part of their annual Boldface conference,…read morewhich is what brought me here. I'll admit that I was somewhat disappointed when I walked in that it didn't seem authentic like I thought it would be. I expected a real French atmosphere and staff, but obviously that's not fair to the place. That's not a critique, but the expectation did influence my experience. The second thing I notice was about the "house-made flavors" for the coffee. I saw the adjective of "house-made" in the Yelp menu pictures which is what got me excited. In-house syrups is the factor that brings me to a coffeeshop. That's what tells me this is the real deal, that this place is putting in real effort to craft a balance drink. Melange realizes this as well. They knew that would draw people, but let me tell you, these flavors are not "house-made." I literally saw a bottle of Monin syrup on the counter. How that is made in house I can't comprehend. Look, I saw the jars of nutella on the counter behind the glass wall, which may make my question sound stupid, but I dumbly thought those were just for the crepes. So when I walked up to the register, I asked the guy "How do you make the nutella flavor for the coffee?" I wanted to know because I myself have tried mixing nutella into my drip coffee at home and it never dissolves. In response, he stared at me in confusion. I rephrased: "Like how do you put the nutella in the latte?" He simply said, "Thin nutella." I did not confront him about the "house-made" adjective on the chalkboard. I did not have it in me. But I thought maybe this could still be good. I was handed a paper cup, which also disappointed me, for I expected a mug, but I can only hold that against myself. The real cardinal sin of coffeeshops that was committed here was that I could not taste the coffee. I am not kidding when I say it tasted like hot nutella milk and that was it. Obviously it tasted good-I like the taste of nutella. But that's not what I ordered. Now again I'm non-confrontational and there were only two employees who were working on a bunch of other orders so I didn't bother complaining. But the lack of coffee in my latte is the bulk of my frustration with Melange Creperie. I also should mention that my latte was decaf, which could have contributed to the distinct lack of coffee taste, I'm not sure, but that seems like an important detail. Now I did enjoy my sausage crepe. The white cheddar and egg were smooth and velvety and the mustard added a nice acidity to contrast with the andouille sausage. But it does feel overpriced at $16 and I wish there was a bit more sausage. If I lived in Houston, I would probably return to try more crepes, but I would never order coffee from here again.

Many of the desserts are beautifully presented and almost too pretty to eat. I especially enjoyed the tiramisu and the apricot mousse dessert, while the drinks were decent overall. It was a pleasant experience, especially since we were able to use our hotel credit. That said, the prices are on the higher side, so I'm not sure I would make a special trip just for it. Still, it's a lovely stop if you're already staying at or visiting the hotel.

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.
