Tried this place out in the village while out shopping. They have a robust menu and a large selection of pastries. I ordered a tuna melt and a French onion soup. I did not love the French onion soup. They added the bread in automatically so it was soggy by the time I ate it yuck. The tuna melt was just okay. The employee that assisted me with my order was very friendly and helpful. They were 30 mins away from closing so the place was pretty empty. But there is ample seating and a bathroom. read more

Came in for a quick pick up and quick it was! The girl at the counter was extremely kind and helpful, letting me know that there was more in the back of there was something I was looking for and didn't have up in the display. I had picked up a few items for someone who absolutely loves croissants [chocolate almond, almond, raisin, fruit tart and some chocolate/white chocolate cake] and all of it was such a hit. Walking in this place was definitely busy with a lot of people sitting down and enjoying their meals... andddd of course I was looking at everyone's food! And it all looked amazing. Can't wait to come back and try a sandwich and a coffee. read more

I stopped by this place after my facial. I'm always down for a French Bakery, since Paris is my favorite place to visit. Upon walking in it's a very busy place, fresh bread is visible behind the counter and service is pretty quick. Several people were ready to help. Most people opted for the baked goods and sandwiches. I got the turkey with Swiss on a croissant. The baguette bread was also popular. I plan on trying that next time. Parking is meh as usual in this area. read more

This place was so unassuming, and delicious!!! We got the fruit tart- it was so fresh and not too sweet (I fell in love!) and the almond pear tart was so good too!!!! Incredibly fragrant and not too sweet. Their coffee selection was also great- I got the vanilla coconut frappe and it was so refreshing. I added 2 shots and it was perfection! read more

What a discovery ! Yelp has (or had) this suggestion like thing which started with, ' I was passing by and saw this hole in the wall'.... that Sunday it felt like Deja Vu, its a little french corner in Rice Village- so adorably cute. The interiors and furniture all reflect a vintage look. They have coffee, croissants, pastries, cakes, quiche, soup and more. (Although soup is available for lunch and after only ....after 11am) Got 2 croissants 1 plain 1 with almonds and chocolate Both were very soft and buttery. It was obvious that it was not made that morning , but that did not matter to me , the softness and taste confirmed it was not old either. It was a Sunday morning around 7 am! Oh... they carry eggs which they will boil for you. The place was swarming with people, - yes, even that early - so it must be popular place in the neighborhood. Also got coffee- A latte A cappuccino They were both great. You need to add your own sugar. I ordered mine extra hot so the taste lingered on for a while. What I especially liked- the newspapers and magazines lying around in wicker baskets. Coffee , Croissants, a beautiful Sunday morning, and current newspaper ! I can't think of a more relaxed way to start the morning before a long week..... read more

I visited here back when I was in high school and felt like visiting again recently because I was craving french cafe vibes. We tried lots of different foods including the chocolate ganache cake, a pear tart that I believe is called pear bourdaloue, croque monsieur, ham quiche, provençal salad, spinach salad, iced mocha, and an iced milky way. In terms of quality of food, it was on par with most cafes. The quiches were nice and filled my body with warmth as I took my first bites. Out of all the foods we tried, I'd recommend the croque monsieur and the iced mocha! My cousin had the iced milky way and rated it a 10/10. The waiters were also very friendly and helpful when trying to decide what to order. One downside of this place is it pretty cramped as it is a small cafe, but I think that just adds to the aesthetic and I didn't really mind. I also wish the drinks didn't come with so much ice, I drink my beverages pretty slowly but even I finished mine very quickly. I wonder if you can ask for less ice in your drinks? Overall, it's a fun experience and there's lots of fun pastries & desserts to try! Perfect for a foodie looking to explore more places read more

Stopped here as another spot was closed on Mondays. Cozy indoor space with some outdoor seating. Semi -busy around 10 in the morning. Ordered a few items to try. Apricot Danish-stood out as you don't see this everywhere-delicious, Mushroom Quiche-just the right amount of mushrooms and savory-we enjoyed it, Croissant-flaky and buttery, and enjoyed my Cappuccino also. A nice selection of pastries and desserts as well Quiche (6 varieties) and sandwiches (Croque Monsieur) to name a few. Service was friendly and quick. Now added to my Cafe stops when visiting Rice Village. read more

This is a Rice Village staple and lots of retired people come here weekday mornings. I came here with a friend and got the almond chocolate croissant which was almost $6 after tax (is this the normal price these days?). The croissant did not taste very fresh and was a bit too sweet for my taste. The cashier/worker was also not the friendliest. Overall, likely would not return here but it is a very cute bakery atmosphere. read more

Have been driving by this place and wanting to try it for years, and finally made it in! It was delicious and sooooo reasonably priced! It was also super cozy inside, had newspapers everywhere, and just felt super nostalgic and wholesome. I loved my red pepper chili soup and then we split the black and white cake which was light and great. Will 100% be back! read more

This place was popping when we went! Cozy on the inside with lots of tables and seats. The French onion soup was one of better ones I've had - good flavors and not too salty. Their spinach quiche... also good! Vanilla eclair was okay, next time I'd op for the chocolate one. Their sign also says "fresh squeezed lemonade" which I tried - there was no sign of pulp so not sure I believe that anymore lol. Their chai latte was delicious. Overall, good experience with the food and would go back. They don't have much of a system for when food is ready - so pretty sure 2 people after me got the French onion soup ahead of me - so definitely recommend waiting by the counter so you don't get passed up on! read more

Such a cute place for a quick brunch! The locals frequent this shop, as it was completely packed on a Saturday morning. I personally tried the oat mile latte and a slice of mushroom quiche. Both were delicious. I had no trouble finding a seat for myself, but I imagine it would be a little bit more difficult to find seating for a larger group. Overall, the vibes were immaculate. read more

Authentic Italian bakery. This is the only place that I've been able to get a good cinnamon roll thats not dry in Houston. I will say I wish it was a bit less buttery flavor and more cinnamon. But still my favorite for now. Gluten free options would be great. The chicken salad taste pretty good, it's simple but satisfying. The Chai latte w oatmilk is good aswell. read more

My friend and I came here for a coffee and cake lunch. The cakes were super delicious and soft, and not too overpowering. The coffee on the other hand taste very weak and watery. Maybe we came on a bad day. Other ladies at the desk were helpful and quick. The café was busy at this time so it was kinda hard to hear the staff. There was a lot of people here working on their laptops or studying. The tables and chairs are decent their waiter was constantly cleaning because it was super busy. Some of the chairs are a little bit wobbly, but that's fine. They do have an outdoor tables and chairs area if you want to bring your dog. There is street parking or parking lots paid by meter. Or the parking garage where the first two hours are free. You do not want to park in the lot next to the café because they will tow you. read more

First time visiting, and we had a great experience! We stopped by for a light brunch and shared the tuna salad on a croissant, along with two desserts--the Napoleon and the Coffee Chocolate Cake. Everything was absolutely delicious, and their coffee was just as impressive. We sat outside on the patio, which was really nice, but they also have plenty of indoor seating if you prefer. Parking was super convenient, which made the visit even easier. If you're in need of a cake, they have several beautiful options to choose from. Honestly, their Napoleon Cake was the best we've had in Houston! If you have a sweet tooth, this spot is definitely worth checking out. read more

I was very excited about this after hearing about it from friends but was unfortunately disappointed after trying a pastry and a cup of hot chocolate - (as a staple item it should be safe and unfortunately it tasted horrible and there were huge chunks of chocolate at the bottom) Im not sure if someone had smoked or something was off in the restaurant but the overall smell was off putting as well. I had to leave because the smell became too overwhelming. I will be visiting again next time I'm in the area and I hope the experience is better!! read more

Lovely spot in Rice Village for breakfast and lunch. Don't park at the fedex parking lot or you will get towed. Parking can be limited. Baked goods here are delicious. Quiche or an almond croissant are my favorite food choices. They have a few different tea options to choose from. A cosy little French bistro. You order at the counter and they will bring it out to your table. Always nice girls behind the counter. read more
