    Lemon Cupcake and White Chocolate Raspberry Cupcake
    Travis J.

    I can't believe I'm just now writing a review for this hidden gem. I've been a faithful fan/supporter of this place for some years now... at least 7 years that I can think of. So yes, I've had almost every cake flavor they've put out. They used to have half off Tuesday, then $2 Tuesday, and now it's roughly $2.95 Tuesday (inflation... I get it). But the cupcakes (and cakes) here are divine. I've picked them up for all types of occasions (kickbacks, teacher appreciation week, housewarming, etc.) and people always ask "where are they located" once they take one bite! The service is great as the ladies are always friendly. Support this business like I have! 10/10

    Small peach cobbler, Italian cream cake slice, pineapple right side up cupcake, vanilla cupcake

    Overall I will return but I agree with another reviewer that there was no customer service. I was not greeted, it was awkward and I let the cashier know it was my first time and I was interested in learning more about the pastry options. The cupcakes were dry to me but the topping of the pineapple cupcake was amazing! The Italian crème cake slice was the gem of the entire purchase and a MUST HAVE. That and the peach cobbler redeemed the experience to get a 4 star rating

    8/2022: HIGHLY MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMEND WheneverI I'm in the Houston area (childhood home) I try to seek out new businesses. Cake Swirl is located in a shopping strip in North Houston. Perfect customer service; friendly associate during my visit on 8/26/22 at 2:20p. Cake Swirl is definitely my new cupcake eatery in Houston. The slices of cake and cupcakes, cookies and brownies are one of the best I've ever had (except for Grandma's perfectly baked goodies). Menu changes but daily available flavors are: Red velvet Strawberry Swirl Cookies and cream Vanilla on Vanilla I bought a 1/2 dozen only as my Houston family and I are healthy eating enthusiasts but I chose today to be our CHEAT DAY! What flavors did buy you've asked? Red Velvet Italian Cream German Chocolate Strawberry Swirl Lemon Blueberry Vanilla on Vanilla and a slice of Strawberry cake Delicious!!!!!! I WILL BE BACK TO THIS business whenever in Houston

    Happen to see this Yummy Cupcake ship when I was on my way to get crawfish! My Gosh, it was delicious! I got the vanilla and chocolate swirl cupcake and my son got the cookies and cream. We are before I thought about yelping it; which should tell you how Amazing they were. Here's a picture of the empty box ‍

    My cupcake tipped over  but it's okay

    I'm so happy I found this gem! I just moved to this side of town and I love desserts! This place is very clean, it smells clean I really appreciate this! I ordered 2 peach cobbler cups and 2 cupcakes I ate one peach cobbler in the car. I love a lot of crust and it's a lot of crust and cinnamon I'm full but I'm pretty sure the rest is bomb!

    Finally tried this place after not having any succes when they were located in Old Town Spring. It seems they were never open during the opening times I stopped by. Anyhue, the new location is in the same shopping strip as Hanks, so I stopped in while I waited on my food from hank's. They had an array of dessert choices such as a watermelon cupcake, in which I thought was interesting- along a variety of other cupcake flavors, cookies, and cobbler. I must say that I was a bit disappointed that they did not have any samples to offer for new guests. The cashier at the front also seemed a bit unenthused about helping anyone further than what she had to. With that being said, I got a vanilla cupcake for my son and a slice Italian cake for myself. My son said he enjoyed his cupcake as he got quiet which was a good sign of that and my slice of Italian cake was not bad either. Although my suggestion would be to eat the icing WITH the cake, as the cake by itself lacked a bit in flavor. Needless to say I might come back and give it another try & try something else, but it was nothing that I could say that I would rave about.

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.

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.

We finally came around to checking it out and OMG YES. It absolutely is worth the hype. As a lover of egg tarts and someone who is also very particular about it - these have won my heart! 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.

I hear it does get really busy around special occasions/holidays so please plan accordingly.

Also, the pastries were what I was mainly hoping for, but didn't see much, just cake and some packaged cookies. I ended up only ordering the only hot food available on the menu, the beef pho kolache, which was actually really really tasty. The $8 price point is a little hard to swallow, but worth trying at least once! Milk bread is soft and the brisket goes really great with sriracha. The hoisin was a tad too salty for me; I think it would work best if it had, in theme, the aromatics from actual pho, otherwise it's too heavy. The yuzu lemonade was citrusy and refreshing, definitely hits the spot during the summer. There's a bit of space in the back, and there's a patio area (though I'm not sure if it's 100% Koffeteria's, but it was set up for World Cup watching. I'll have to keep an eye on when's the best time to swing by again for their bakery items.

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.

I was indecisive so I asked the owner for recommendations and she chose the Mont Blanc and Total Raspberry Tart.

The Mont Blanc was just as tasty. The chestnut puree, Chantilly cream, and crust were all *chef's kiss* And the best part of it all is that the pastries were not too sweet (for those of you who are new to Asian pastries, they are meant to be lighter and not overly sweet)!
