Mini Cupcakes (assorted)
Jando S.

While I'm hardly the cupcake connoisseur, I would attest there are few things in life that are as sweet and satisfying as the ones from Celebrity. Nestled in the heart of Rice Village, they remind me of my time back in NYC where I saw mini cupcakes all over the city (#1). Over the last dozen years, they've made quite the name for themselves here in Houston. The shop is small and thus the takeout game is where it's at. I would recommend calling ahead of time to book or ordering directly from their website for pickup. The cupcakes that standout for me are their carrot cake, vanilla bean, and hummingbird (sweet bananas with pineapple and cream cheese). The raspberry linzer bars, lemon bars, and brownies are underrated and deserve a lot of shine in their own right. While foodflation is in full effect everywhere, it's especially felt here. At $55 for a dozen cupcakes and $30 for the minis, my wallet hurts every time I walk out of here. Thankfully the service is quite good and the parking is usually not too full despite only having a handful of spaces. Their mini cupcakes are a nice changeup from the regular cupcakes, but even the latter feels a bit smaller than the pseudo baseball sized standards. All in all, this is a good bakery and a quality cupcake destination. I think as long as expectations are noted ahead of time, a good time can be had by everyone (#2). ___________ (#1) Courtesy of Baked by Melissa: https://www.yelp.com/biz/baked-by-melissa-new-york-3 (#2) Especially those with a sweet tooth.

Cupcakes are so tasty. Highly recommend this shop especially for the mini cupcakes and I will be back!

Love this place! Their cupcakes are delicious and a great dessert for a birthday or special occasion where you have to share with others. They have small and big cupcakes and have different flavors depending on the day. Definitely try the s'mores one!

Two awesome cupcakes!

I stopped in after having lunch nearby. Several of the day's options were still available. The person checking me out was great in helping me choose. The place was small, but fun to see the cupcakes on display and the baking activity and racks behind the counter. And the box is great - built in holes to keep my treats from rolling around while walked them back to my place. An easy walk from around Rice, and very walkable on a nice day from the nearby medical facilities.

Cupcakes galore!

A hidden gem inside Rice Village. I decided to come to Celebrity again cause it was super close by and one of my coworkers was celebrating a birthday. Thought a dozen mini cupcakes would be a nice surprise for everyone! I came on a random weekday morning and there was no one here - the display cases were full of large normal size cupcakes; with racks of fresh cupcakes behind the counter (both full sized and minis)! When you order, they grab from the trays instead of the display to ensure you get some of the freshest ones! I told the lady to select a variety of a dozen minis for me and I purchased 2 large cupcakes and a rice crispy treat for myself! Yum!! That rice crispy treat was exactly what I wanted! I tried one of the mini cupcakes and the chocolate was moist and the frosting soft! Very flavorful and delicious! The carrot cake cupcake was delicious - lots of nuts, not too sweet, and super moist! I didn't eat the raspberry lemon one until a day later and it stayed fresh, in the box in room temp, and was delicious the next day! I enjoyed these way more than the Crave cupcakes cause I think they're way more moist and a lot more flavorful! The coworkers agreed and enjoyed these a lot better than Crave and Sprinkles as well! Love this place - the only place to buy cupcakes for your special occasion!

So yummy! Discovered this gem b/c my bestie had brought me a box of mini cupcakes for graduation. I've been hooked ever since! Flavors rotate daily. In my opinion, Friday's & Saturday's are best to make orders b/c they have a ton of delicious flavors. I recently got the box of mini dozens. I love getting the minis because they are perfect to sample lots of flavors without breaking the bank! It costs around $22-23 for the dozen. I usually order online from their website & pay ahead to make pick-up easier. My favorite flavors are the Chardonnay lavender strawberry & Strawberry lavender grapefruit. I also really loved carrot, apple, and fleur de sol (sp?) flavors. The shop is cute but pretty small. It's located outside the Rice Village area with plenty of parking in the lot. It's more a grab & go kind of venue, but would totally come back again to try more flavors!

Mini s'mores cupcake

Celebrity Cupcakes has always been one of my favorite cupcake place. They have regular and mini size cupcake. See store website to see their daily flavors. Although this place is a trip into town from Cypress, I made sure I got my cupcake fix. Red velet is their most popular, so I definitely ordered two. Banana and Vanilla bean. They were all my flavorite. My daughter and I shared the banana flavor cupcake for the first time and surprisedly it was really good. We are not a banana person, but it was so moist and the cream cheese frosting had a nice touch to it. We also ordered the mini smores. It must be one of their popular cupcakes, because we got the last one! Chocolate cake with a graham cracker crust topped w/ toasted marshmallow. Must I need to say more?

Koffeteria is an absolute hidden gem located in EaDo. I just found out about it from Instagram and…read morewas shocked that I've never heard about it prior, despite it being here for years! Anyway, I finally got a chance to stop by on a Sunday late morning recently. Parking can be difficult, but there are dedicated Koffeteria spots in front of the business as well as surrounding paid curbside parking. I believe Instagram helped many others discover this business recently, as it was pretty packed and there was a line, but this gave us ample opportunity to peruse the menu and pastry display. Ultimately, we opted for the: Cambodian iced coffee (kayfe dahkoh) made with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk - tasted very similar but weaker than Vietnamese coffee. As I'm Viet and have never had Cambodian coffee, this was my only frame of reference, and I didn't love it. I'm excited to try more Cambodian coffees to get a better understanding of their unique flavor profile! Black sesame mochi - sweet and perfectly sesame flavored with salted yolk at the bottom, delicious, my partner's favorite pastry Beef pho kolache - the bun was so soft and complemented the soft but flavorful brisket meat. wow. truly a brisket pho in a kolache. We got extremely lucky and got a table almost immediately after ordering, as someone left just in time. The interior is full of vintage furniture, which added so much character. As a vintage lover, I felt so at home! I could see how others might prefer a more neat, chic interior, but to me this was absolutely perfect and added so much warmth, homeliness, and character to the shop. Absolutely love this coffee shop and will 100% be back to try more pastries and coffees. Immediately, this has become a new Houston favorite!

He's a chocolate lover so I decided on the Black Forest cake for him which is one of their specialties. I ordered the night before for noon pickup and paid online which was a pretty easy process. I was able to include instructions to write "Happy Birthday Dad!" When I stopped by on a Sunday at noon, thankfully parking wasn't too bad and I snagged a spot easily. 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. I decided to also pick up a savory kolache-type pastry (I never got the name of it) and the cake! The employee was quick and helpful - she located the cake, showed me the design and lettering to make sure it was ok before I left. The cake was a huge hit! We loved the light sponge cake with layers of whipped cream which were light and not too sweet. Then layer of cherries was lovely. The fruits on top were fresh and nicely arranged. The appearance was gorgeous as well, with chocolate shavings delicately arranged on the outside. We were not too impressed by the kolache. I was also able to try their pandan cake slice on another visit and loved the flavoring, lightness of the cake and the icing was very tasty. I will definitely be coming back here for more cakes in the not too distant future!

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!

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.

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.
