With a fun name and colorful interior, I can see how this little vegan bakery/ice cream shop can appeal to kiddos and kiddos at heart. They are allergen-free and gluten-free for those with sensitivities, and my favorite-- no preservatives and artificial colors or ingredients! Also perfect for families with food allergies. ** S'more's donut (5/5)-- was more like a soft, super moist cake (not complaining, super delish). It had a nice chocolate flavor and sweetness. Not sure how allergen-free, vegan donuts usually taste like, but I totally gobbled this one up! Besides the marshmallow, it was more like a chocolate donut to me, but it was a yummy chocolate donut. ** Ube swirl cookie (3/5)-- their monthly special cookie which was eye-catching. Definitely used ube jam on top, which was all I could taste. I wasn't a fan of this one since it wasn't very sweet, but MT demolished it. The cookie base was a bit dry and crumbly, but I've never had a gluten-free cookie that wasn't. I would try another flavor next time :) The worker at the front was very bubbly and friendly, welcoming any questions we had. A freezer of packed ice cream pints and chocotacos (!), an ice cream case, and a pastry case of their muffins, brownie/blondies, and donuts were available. Luckily, I visited on a Wednesday which is their donut day. Check their website-- cupcakes on Fridays, donut cakes and cookie cakes on Saturdays. Seems like they're super muffins (made with veggies and fruits!) and beanie bars (made with beans and chickpeas) are always available. If lived closer, I'd be visiting regularly to try more donuts and all the other desserts (Choco-taco, I'm coming back for you! ). They are a little on the pricey side for the size, but I think it's worth knowing how clean the ingredients are. Definitely drop in and try something new if you're in the area! read more

I had high hopes for this vegan bakery, but when I came in today there was barely any bakery items to try. I was expecting plentiful options to choose from, but what I saw was a section for ice cream, refrigerated items, and a tiny glass case of baked goods. The sweets they had was the brownies, one tiramisu cupcake, lemon blueberry "cheezecake" and tiny muffins. That's it! I follow Awesome Bites Co on Instagram and I often see the owner posting a wide variety of goodies. However, today 06/28/2025 they had more ice cream flavors to choose from than anything else. Disappointing. I got a sample of the lavender Earl Grey ice cream and fell in love with it. I ordered two scoops. It is creamy, subtle sweetness, tasted fully like Earl Grey tea by Harney and Sons brand with a lemony flavor with each bite. The scoops are small. The other flavors didn't seem too appealing especially the sunflower butter and olive oil one. I purchased the lemon blueberry cheezecake (as I wanted to compare it to Sinfull's). The cheezecake was an absolute scam: it was just moist cake with blueberry compote in the middle with vegan cream cheeze topping. I didn't even finish it because it was overly sweet and too moist that it began to stick to the roof of my mouth. Sinfull's taste more similar to traditional ones I remember from my childhood. The restaurant itself is small on the inside no indoor seating. It's decorated in a ton of rainbow items. It's a local business that's women and Asian owned. I wanted to love this place so much. The customer service was meh; the cashier wasn't interested in making small talk like they do at Sinfull's and it appeared as if it was strictly taking orders. If I plan on returning, I'll come for the lavender Earl Grey ice cream and stick with getting my baked goods from Sinfull Bakery since they have more options and abundance of items to choose from. read more

Great selection and everything is natural and vegan and gluten free. I believe even the dyes are made from natural things. I will say the girl who helped me was real nice but a bit too mellow. I think the owner who when I came in to double check if everything was vegan was a bit snarky and seemed unhappy and defensive. I really didn't know and I wanted to ask because I was getting the items for my child's teacher and I had to confirm they were vegan. I mean are people who are vegan happy? I don't remember being especially happy when I was vegan. I was probably missing the hormones from the animal products or something. Either way I came there around 930am so not too early. Felt kind of blah about the experience but it's nice to have a vegan bakery with lots of options. read more

I've been going to this spot for a little while as my wife got me into the healthier side of dessert which I certainly appreciate as we tend to try to live a healthy life.. I do recommend going thier to try their vegan desserts as most desserts their are fresh and moist. Thier donuts, cakes and cupcakes taste great and don't make you feel terrible afterwards, not just from a psychological perspective but from a health standpoint. The vanilla and chocolate ice cream also have such a great flavor to which the owner really could put a little less sugar in my opinion but I get it, most people living in the U.S prefer more sugar than most parts of the world. So I decided to give this place 3 stars, not because of their desserts but because of the staff... I believe this place deserves 4 stars for their desserts in my opinion...but 1 star for thier staff! Their staff never greets, and they always give me the vibe that they hate being their checking out customers. I've never seen so many zombies working at a dessert place. I don't expect great customer service from a small place like this by any means but being completely ignored after saying hello with a warm friendly smile several times is just awkward and makes me feel like I shouldn't be there. The staff working in this little shop seem very odd except for 1 girl thats been their for a while. The staff also has very little product knowledge when you ask them simple questions. I believe the owner should really spend a little time training the staff basic customer service or hiring a few people that have a warm and freindly personality. I love supporting local owned spots that have a good product and will continue to do so. So I hope this place in particular improves with their staff. read more

Been going here for a few years for allergen friendly treats for my little ones. Got to meet the owner today, she is a delightful person. She offered to help and told me they were getting ready for vday and lunar new year and would be having special treats coming out. Customer service, and filling a need for people with allergies. Don't hesitate to visit them read more

Found this place on Yelp and was so very excited. Our grandson is highly allergic to eggs, milk, peanuts, and tree nuts. He hasn't really got to experience going out somewhere and indulge in the sweet things because all desserts seem to have some kind of milk, egg or nuts in them. We got him the strawberry, vanilla and caramelized banana ice cream. He absolutely loved the banana. Of course he has been on a banana kick lately. Ha ha I also got some cookies and muffins and a cupcake for him to try later. Super excited for him. Thanks to the owners of this place. You made us feel safe while letting him try all the things... best part ....NO REACTION!!! read more

I'm visiting from Los Angeles, CA to celebrate my bachelorette weekend and was excited to see that Houston caters to its vegan community. I ordered the Cookie Monster probiotic mylkshake. I have an appreciation for health supplements so I was thrilled when I see the probiotic ingredient to the mylkshake. Four Stars: The flavors were incredible, but the texture didn't quite have that classic milkshake consistency. I'd suggest skipping the added milk and using just the soft serve to achieve a thicker, creamier texture. That said, the customer service was exceptional! I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Houston. read more

I will tell anyone who will listen that if you have dietary restrictions or food allergies, this is a MUST try. It is so hard to find places that offer quality options and so far, I am obsessed with their cupcakes and cake! I tried the salted caramel cupcake and the cookies and cream cake. They were both delicious! I feel like a lot of gluten free cupcakes/cakes have a really weird, dry texture and these are so moist and flavorful. I've seen people comment on the pricing but 1. If you read their website's faqs page and about their products, you're getting what you pay for and 2. There are many dessert places in Houston that charge similar prices (if not more) and the quality is not as good. They have theme days (cupcake day, cake day, etc.), so you might want to check out their website or IG page before you go in case you're in the mood for trying something specific. read more

Service was okay. Drip coffee was cold and expensive. A 3.5% card service fee is applied no matter how you pay (credit or debit) with no option to pay with cash. Was really looking forward to visiting this business during my trip. Definitely will not be back. read more

Came here on a whim after eating at local pho. Nice bright atmosphere. Everything in this place is gluten free and dairy free. Staff was friendly offering free sampling of the ice cream. The caramelized banana ice cream was good, they have other flavors like chocolate with olive oil, earl grey, dark chocolate with raspberry. Decided to go with a caramelized apple donut. It was good, nice and moist with actual apple bits in the middle. The one donut was $5.03 with tax and gratuity. Was fun to try this place but nothing screamed at me to make me want to hurry up and return. read more

I have to preface this with, I am not vegan, so my opinion may mean nothing to someone who is. I will pretty much eat anything. However, I had just finished eating, across the street, and was walking back to my place when I saw Awesome Bites Co. Admittedly, I was intrigued, so I went inside. I ordered a super muffin, and the husband and I each got some N'ice Cream. I thoroughly enjoyed the N'ice cream, mainly because I don't do lactose. I am sorry to say that I do not remember the flavor I got but the texture was just like regular ice cream, so that was a huge plus for me. Whatever flavor the husband got was more like a sorbet texture. It was still delicious, but the one I had was better. They will let you sample the flavors so you can decide for yourself. The shop is cute inside and although the staff is very quiet, they were still very nice. No pix on this trip, but I will definitely be back! They do custom cake orders, too, so that is really nice. read more

I love this place and honestly should have written a review a long time ago. This is the best place to go period. But ESPECIALLY if you have any allergies or intolerances. As someone with celiac's disease, an egg intolerance, and an allergy to a common preservative, I feel 100% safe eating any thing that comes from this bakery. I've convinced my friends and family to try this place, because I'm obsessed and want everyone else to be too. The donuts, cake slices, cupcakes, cookies, and beanie bars are my favs. They are a bit pricey, but I kind of expect it due to the type of ingredients they'd have to use to remain allergen free. I've never had bad service from ANYONE at anytime, everyone is so kind and willing to answer questions. The owner, Jennifer is also so sweet! 10/10 recommend whether you have allergies or not! read more

Super cute and trendy spot. It's located near Sawyer Heights and in the same plaza as Mainly Lobster. I love how there's so many options from Gluten free sugar free, egg free, nut free to dairy free options. With people with food allergies these days, this place offers desserts for everyone. That makes me so happy to see because I do have people in my family that are diabetic and it's hard for them to find shops that cater to their needs. They had cookies, cupcakes, ice cream, coffee, teas...even to go options to take some goodies home with you. I tried their oatmeal chocolate chip muffins, which had no sugar added. It was nice and moist and delicious. It came in an order of two since they were mini. It was enough to satisfy my sweet craving without feeling guilty about eating them too. read more

Stumbled upon this place and read gluten free, plant base, and allergy friendly.....whaaaaa!?!? So, I gladly made my way in! Super small and cute inside but there is seating outside for you to enjoy your tasty treats! By far the mint chocolate and the olive oil chocolate were my favorite! Okay okay, I didn't try all the flavors but once I got to taste these two I quickly ordered a scoop of each. I am not a straight chocolate girl but for me to have loved the olive oil one says a lot! My sister ordered the lavender Earl grey and that was tasty also. They do have pints to go and I so wished I had purchased them because it isn't close to my house. They have the best gluten free donuts! Moist and delicious! We got the lemon raspberry and cookies n cream. My sister and I are both mom's and I just had a newborn, so we brought the donuts home to share with our husband's and completly forgot about them till the next day...haha mom brain! But even though we consumed it the next day it was still soft and moist! Have I sold you yet??!!?!? Definitely telling my friends to go and figuring out how I'm coming back with 2 kids under 2 because just that alone is a challenge =p read more

The food and drinks are fine....just really expensive. A milkshake was almost $20. I understand the upcharge to keep things vegan/dairy-free, but I feel like other bakeries do this at a lower price point. Unless you have serious food allergies (which this place caters to very well), I don't think this place is a must read more

Although the shop is small, the flavors pack a punch. I love their flavors and the moistness of the cakes. The service is overall good. Nothing too notable. I'm not going to knock them for this but their tea was just tazo tea so don't get any coffee or tea here. You will be disappointed. You can literally do the same thing at home. Yes cakes - no coffee or tea. read more

This place is a rare find. They're items are good and makes great treats for allergy friendly and non allergy people. The only problem is that I only care for their cup cakes and donuts. Those are only on Wednesday or Friday. I wish they had donuts or cupcakes everyday or a few more times a day. I went in around 5:30 on a Friday for their cupcake day and the girl told me she thinks they are out. I've gone on other Friday's and they are out of cupcakes or Wednesday and they are out of donuts. Today they only had a donut cake for $10 a slice. I got it but didn't think it's worth it. Their cupcakes and donuts are better flavor and more moist in my opinion. Call before you go maybe?? I know I went in later but I wish they'd have another day for donuts/cupcakes because it's hard to make it there on a weekday any earlier. read more

***REVIEW UPDATE*** In reply to the owner's reply: Yes, your store employees lack knowledge. I've been in several times hoping the next would be better than the last. Your employees don't wash their hands, handle money, then stick that same hand back on an ice cream scoop that is then falling back into the ice cream. At checkout, they flip that screen back and forth asking for customers to tip and sign then flip it back over with a bare or gloved hand and continue to type on it. Or they're using gloves for everything. As I said before, gloves don't work if you don't use them properly. No. My cell phone is not as nasty as the handle on your door, or your ice cream scoops. Neither is my home. I understand cross contamination and microbiology well enough to not make the simple mistakes that take place in your Awesome Bites establishment. (Clorox wipes on a cell phone is a thing and so is disinfecting your home, not wearing shoes past the door etc.) The fact the owner is defending their lack of hygiene in their store with the rebuttal of "I bet your house has germs," is pretty disgusting and I see practices start from the top down. Yes, anywhere is going to have germs. But anyone with half a brain would know not to eat off a sofa or the floor, and to clean and disinfect their kitchen. Lastly, to the owner, fix what's broken instead of defending it before the health department comes for you. Thanks. ***** read more

I live on the east coast, so anytime I'm in Houston to visit loved ones I ALWAYS make sure to stop by Awesome Bites Co! I love their mission and am in awe of all of the allergy-friendly desserts they make (they look amazing AND taste amazing)! Some of my sister and I's favorites include: Chocotaco: This has only been available a few times the last 2 times I've been there. But wow-- the crunch and yummy chocolate plus ice cream is perfect! Gingerbread Loaf: I could probably eat 3 of these in one sitting. They're so moist and taste like Christmas in a mini pan :) Donuts: We get these on Wednesday! I loved the cinnamon roll ones, and my sister enjoyed the s'mores. We also got the cranberry orange and Homer donuts which were delicious and moist too! Lavender Earl Grey Ice Cream: I had this during the summer and it was a nice mix of lavender + earl grey :) I wish they had an East Coast location especially this time of year since walking into this location just makes me happy due to the fun colors! Give AwesomeBites a try--you don't be disappointed! The staff and owner are really friendly too :) read more

PHENOMENAL! Full of flavor, but not too sweet. A very light sweet taste, coconut base. The waffle cone was crunchy, gluten-free and absolutely divine. Also love how they had a chocolate and a regular one. I highly recommend vanilla ice cream with the regular waffle cone and caramel banana ice cream and the chocolate waffle cone. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area for sure! Reasonably priced, easy parking, clean inside and fast friendly service. read more

For those who have strict diet, this bakery is for you. They have a variety of options; brownies, cookies, ice cream, muffins, cake, milkshake, etc. I got their special Easter cake with strawberry filling. This cake wasn't for me. Wasting food isn't an option for us, so we had to power through it. There was no taste. Felt like I was eating a dry dry cake. Only good thing was the icing. The shop is cute and clean. The people behind the register are absolutely helpful too. read more

I've been buying these goodies before their storefront opened. I am very happy to be able to go to a permanent spot and buy treats. It is so rare for people like me to be able to enjoy ready-made nutritionally packed desserts inside a super cute store. They created a little spot out front to eat sweet treasures. My husband recently surprised me with several treats that he picked up on the way home from the airport. I ate my first fruit tart by Awesome Bites and it was heaven. Delicious. read more

Vegan and allergy free dessert shop. Came by at night after dinner. Got a cupcake and some ice cream. The cupcake was cold and hard, so I asked them for a fresh one.

I have to start of by saying this place is not my cup of tea, but the wife loves it. Think she had some kind of coffee with oat milk (yeah). My daughter had ice cream, I believe it was lavender. It had good flavor but being that it was non-dairy, I'm not sure exactly what the ingredients were. To me it had a bit of an off flavor and consistency , but she loved it. The service was really nice and courteous, we would probably come back the next time we're in the hood. read more

Not sure what voodoo magic they use here but you wouldn't even know it doesn't contain any of the top allergens in their goods. Wheat, eggs, diary are synonymous with baked goods and they don't use any of them and still crank out cookies, donuts, cupcakes, etc that would rival many other bakeries that do have them. My daughter is allergic to 7 different things including those common in baked goods so this restaurant is a god send (though I wish she ate less sugar). I am allergic to none but I have no issues going here with her because I enjoy it as much as she does. Our favorites are probably the cupcakes and cakes and then the donuts. We typically always have some ice pints stashed at home as well. Trick here is to let them thaw a bit before eating. My daughter loves the confetti cookies when available and we typically keep muffins around as a snack since they have some veggies in them. The cakes/cupcakes are so moist, I really don't know how they replicate that. This place is really one of a kind in Houston. I fee like I've tried all the bakeries in Houston that are sensitive to allergens and none come close to this place. I just wish it was a bit closer to where we lived. read more

Oh my I've found me a new bakery. I was going to the nail spa and saw this place and of course I has to stop in. I'm not vegan but I love pastries and normal pastries will instantly put 10 lbs on me so i do seek more of healthier pastries. First off the staff was fabulous, friendly and knowledgeable. Secondly they offer samples. I came in to get one pastry and walked out with: 1.Lemon blueberry muffin perfect taste and size. Just enough to clear my sweet craves. 2. Salted caramel brownie. Well unfortunately once I got home it appeared to be just a plain brownie and not the salted caramel but it was still good. I will go back to get the salted caramel. 3. Chia pudding. I haven't tasted it yet but it looks delicious. 4. Lavender Earl Grey ice cream. I tasted it in the store and couldn't not leave it behind. It taste soooooo good. read more

Awesome Bites Co. is great for offering allergy-friendly and diet-friendly options for those that have issues with conventional pastries and desserts.

In SoCal, there's tons of options for dairy-free, and I was worried I'd have to make a cake myself at home. Thank goodness a place like this exists in Houston! This was exactly what I needed for my little one's 2nd birthday. We got an Chocolate & Vanilla ice cream cake, which is made from a coconut base. It was so pretty and delicious! We've also tried their beanie bars and super muffins. The price is a little up there but the quality is there. With all the food allergies in kids these days, this place is a diamond in the rough. Thank you for existing so our kids and all of those with food allergies can eat what everyone else eats for once / on their birthdays at the very least! I would for sure be back more often if it were closer. read more
