    Cafe de olla and carajillo
    Miranda V.

    My mom and I came here around Christmas for breakfast and loved it! The chilaquiles were not spicy thankfully and I happily enjoyed its unique flavor and bright green color. I also tried the carajillo and loved the presentation with the cube of brown sugar as well as the pretty layers. It's a bit of a small space but they make the most of it with seating against the window, and I was tickled by the addition of fresh flowers on each table. My mom bought some pastries and sweets from the front bakery area and they all smelled amazing. Everyone we interacted with from the lady who sat us promptly, our server and the cashier were sweet and attentive. Such a gem and I'll happily return.

    Taco Huevos con longaniza

    Cucharita is one of my favorite brunch restaurants in Houston. The restaurant is so adorable and you feel transported to a cutesy Mexico City cafe the second you walk in. Every time I eat at Cucharita, I get the same thing: tlacoyo de frijol. The simplicity of the dish hits the spot every single time. Such a delicious, filling option minus the feeling of overwhelming heaviness and bloating. Another plus is that the warm crispy tlacoyo is a great option for diners who are vegetarian. I came with my friends who got the huevos con longanisa tacos and the picadillo. Both enjoyed their meals. I've also heard that the chilaquiles, enchiladas, and fresh-baked pastries are yummy here- so basically most of their menu is good. Lastly service is ok. Servers are pretty attentive and accommodating. The restaurant is really clean too.

    I absolutely loved this place! We enjoyed it so much that we went two mornings in a row for breakfast. Cucharita is tucked into a small, cozy spot with a very traditional Mexican feel that makes the whole experience warm and inviting. The food was beyond amazing. Every dish felt fresh and authentic. The pastries were truly out of this world, some of the best I've ever had. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the atmosphere even better. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger over coffee and soak it all in. Honestly, I would go back to Houston just to eat here again. A hidden gem worth every visit!

    Amazing Tlacoyo de frijol

    I am an OBSESSED fan. Growing up Mexican, but in South Mississippi- I felt like I was visiting the Latina childhood that was "stolen" from me! Quite simply, it was Magical- the ambiance, the service, the presentation and the flavor. I can't sing its praises any higher. So incredibly well done. Thank you- I will revisit Houston- just to eat here again!

    First time eating here (still haven't tried Cuchara) and it was a nice time. Came for lunch on a Tuesday so there was lots of street parking less than a block away and my friend got a spot right in front. Everyone was super friendly and the staff on top of it. We got a couple of mocktails to begin with and they were delicious (the one wit condensed milk was wow). However this drink small so be warned if you are super thirsty, you are going to need several. I like a little beverage to sip on here and there in between saltier bites so it was the perfect amount for me. My friend got the omelet and I got the picadillo. I can't tell if she didn't like the omelet or not because she didn't eat a lot of it (the woes of eating with a friend on a GLP-1) but she said it was good. My picadillo was huge. It was enjoying for two people except I only got four small corn tortillas to wrap it in so I had to take the rest home which worked out really well. A little pricey for what you're getting. The patio had great vibes and the weather was perfect. The pastries looked amazing but didn't really want any.

    Mimosa
    Amapola P.

    Cute little spot with a small menu. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice cold front and the server greeted us immediately and answered all of our questions. The menu is small but definitely has some Mexican classics. The cafe was the olla was good The picada Grande I enjoyed the chorizo salsa it reminded me the way my grandma makes it. The mimosa was made with fresh orange juice but I felt like it could use a little bit more champagne but still drinkable. I would say the food is a little overpriced especially being simple dishes and would come again for a special occasion but not as a first choice pick for a Mexican restaurant

    Enchiladas poblanas + Mexican coke
    Leena C.

    Little spoon. Big taste. Overdue lunch with a friend and he suggested this place. It is a very cute spot. Parking is meh. There is street parking but be careful because there are a lot of no parking signs in the surrounding neighborhood. It was pretty steady business around 12:40 pm on a Tuesday. We were greeted immediately and seated. They serve breakfast and lunch. I opted for their enchiladas and a Mexican coke. And ended with vanilla ice cream with palmier wafers. Enchiladas - shredded chicken, corn tortillas, poblano sauce and cheese. This was so good. I do not like corn tortillas usually but these were good. Tender. The chicken was so tasty and the poblano sauce was creamy and paired perfectly. Grandma beans - I do not eat beans normally but abuela got it right. The beans were creamy and melted in my mouth. Vanilla ice cream - omg, heaven - I wasn't sure what to expect but it was the perfect amount of ice cream , caramel topping and the crunch of the palmier. They have cocktails, mocktails, and some coffee drinks. I would like to go back for their breakfast. They also have pastries. It's a bit pricey but the food is delicious. The staff were A++. Everyone we interacted with there were professional and helpful. I don't remember our server's name but she made the experience even better with her friendliness and suggestions. Def recommend this little cafe. And will be back.

    Omelet de huitlacoche but I substituted for ham instead of the mushrooms. It was okay .
    Krystella Z.

    I've heard great things about this place so decided to check it out with my kids. First of all they have no kids menu. My plate with the omelette was OK nothing special just cheese and ham it originally came with mushrooms, but I decided not to do the mushrooms. The atmosphere was OK. I did get told I couldn't have my energy drink that I had brought in. They asked if I wanted them to put it in the fridge or throw it away because they don't allow outside beverages. Other than that. The food was average.

    Cafe de olla
    Jessica F.

    Really cute spot the decore is great. Like everyone said the parking is not the best, but worth it. Menu is small which I always love, makes the place feel like everything is fresh. Cafe de olla is a must have. Food was good, not great, flavor was lacking a bit. I will say the pan dulce was delicious. Servers were very attentive and we had great service.

    Fernanda M.

    Food was super good, the service took a little long but good overall. The chilaquiles were specially good as well as the enchiladas which were filled with chicken.

    Juan M.

    Service is amazing the staff has been friendly and helpful! The atmosphere is well and the food is amazing! Recommend to New people in the area!

    And we're back with another good review today! Today I went to Cucharita along with my mom, sister and brother in law. My mom had heard about this place and it was her birthday brunch so I decided to treat her to it. As soon as we walked in you can see the bread (smells and looks so delicious). Very nice host and waiters along with very good service and happy workers! We got a couple of things and they were all so good! This is a Mexican themed restaurant so they gave us the blue Mexican tazas (mugs) with water but also their coffee is amazing! And the pan Dulce (sweet bread) was so good. The food was also very good! I'd definitely recommend this place to anybody who likes a good brunch! We came on a Friday so no long wait, if you come on the weekends it might be different.

    Came here on a Tuesday morning for breakfast. Cute very cozy and little spot in glad we were there early because it got full quickly. The pictures speak for themselves, everything tasted fresh and homemade, I specially loved the coffee (lechero) and the pastries that was my whole reason to go there and I was not disappointed. *****DONT LEAVE WITHOUT TRYING PAN DULCE YOULL BE ON CLOUD 9*********

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.

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.

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.

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)!
