Great food and great service w/ lots of choices for both breakfast and lunch. I would definitely recommend Essence for brunch.

So I was in Texas and heard about the Essence Housr Cafe for breakfast and brunch. I tried it and was pleasantly surprised. They serve omelettes that actually have meat in it you can see and taste. So let's get started: scale 1-5 Meat lovers omelette (5) Employees pleasantries (5) Employee phone tone (5) Look of food (5) Taste of food (5) Cost of food (5) Overall, this establishment gets a 5 out of 5 from me. Will I return to this establishment, heck yes, each time I'm in this area, this will be my breakfast stop. Thank you Carlos, Corrie and Alex, hope to see you all again on my next trip to your part of Texas. ForRealFran read more

The French toast was delicious. The place was a little small and not too many offerings on the menu. Everything on the menu is delicious though. read more

Just stopped in on the way through town. Instantly was greeted with a warm welcome as I walked through the door. The menu was full of tempting dishes, but it wasn't overwhelming. My dish was brought out quickly and the freshness was evident. The tastes blended perfectly and I enjoyed every bite. The environment was comfy and cozy without seeming pretentious. This is a "must stop" place if you want a great meal with top level heart thrown in. read more

Great place in downtown Fulshear. We went for breakfast and can't wait to go back! Service was fast. Staff helpful. Food AMAZING! Ambiance was casual cozy. read more

Great breakfast. Good service. Small business, so need to get there early. They get busy on weekends.

The best little spot for breakfast and brunch! Their tacos are amazing and chocolate chip pancakes!

This is a charming, no frills place with terrific food and sweet staff! We had the wild shrimp sandwich and the Reuben. Both were delicious in a homey way. They make their own cilantro mayo which added really nicely to the shrimp sandwich. They make their sauerkraut as well, and it was very nice. The sandwiches have the right amount of stuff, not huge piled high, just right. You will not leave hungry! And we topped it off with a warm chocolate chip cookie. If you like a low key home town vibe with great food, this is your place!! read more

There food and service is just awesome. Please try their double egg sandwich . I have been eating it for about 8-9 years it's the best breakfast sandwich you want to eat. Very filling with a cup of coffee. It fills my day. I would recommend to everyone. Thank you so very much for allowing me to share my wonderful experience. Mrs Branch!! read more

Visited the Essence house for the first time today. My wife and I had heard it was a good place. First let me point out, it is a bit confusing on how to order when you first enter. The young man that helped us figure it out was nice, polite, customer ordinated and professional. He suffered through all my questions with a smile. We were able to get our food ordered and I have to say everything tasted great. I had a create your own omelette (hard to mess that up), my wife had buffalo sandwich. Each of them I have no complaints on taste or plate presentation. Now on to why I give Essence only 3 stars. Upon walking in, I noticed an outside table that had not been cleaned and the trash (napkins & etc) were on the ground and blowing around. After we ordered and sat down at a table, I noticed several tables that were bussed but, not clean. Our table had syrup in the holder for the salt, pepper and sugar packs. And yes you guessed it, the salt pepper shakers were sticky. I also ordered a water and latte with my meal. I received the latte but, not the water. I would have asked for it but, I did not feel like getting back up again. As, I had to get up and go get our silverware. Not that this is a big deal, just when we came in the place, the young man that helped us was delivering food to a table and he went back to get their silverware, so I figured that was the procedure. I guess that is my fault for not asking and/or assuming. Upon leaving, I stopped and turned around at the door to tell the 4 people at the register area thank you and have a good day. If I had not, I am sure our exit would have gone unnoticed. I will recommend eating at Essence and I will even go back. However, just do not go their and think you're fixing to eat at a country chique establishment, as it may indicate by looking at their web site. It's small town place with good food, that need a little bussing and table cleaning at times. read more

Dropped by today for a late lunch and to my surprise, The Essence House Cafe has breakfast all day! We were instantly greeted upon arrival and the staff offered their suggestions. Their menu is extensive but I opted for The Greek Omelette with a side of seasoned Potatoes. I ate every bite, with plenty of food left over. I also enjoyed a latte and my husband chose a warm chocolate chip cookie for dessert. What a wonderful cafe, we will be returning to try other menu items. read more

Very nice attention, excellent breakfast Trio, nice Music... for sure I will be there again. read more

It has been a while since I have found a place that I would want to eat there again the next day. This is a small breakfast and lunch gem. I had the 3 meat special breakfast and it was delicious. The sausage was amazing. The service was great and the desserts look so delicious. I took a piece of turtle cheesecake to go but they had soooo many more that I want to try. Domino cake, Carrot Cake and Italian cream cakes all looked delicious. This is a small location, big on flavor and presentation. They close at 3pm so remember them for breakfast or lunch. They have a diverse menu and cookies and pastries also. I can't wait to go back. read more

Hello my fellow Yelpers. Hope your life if filled with many marvelous meals. Let's sit down at this small little Fulshear town breakfast house. Very small but yet welcoming. There is not alot of room for your big family. If you want to bring mom, dad, and the two kids your good. The parking is off a major street so be careful pulling out. I'm sure there is some other parking in the back. Let dive in to a classic breakfast. Two eggs, toast, choice of meat, I had the sausage, and cubed potatoes. Wow, surprisingly it came out very quick with the amount of people here. They seem to have it together here. They have what I see a 7 person cook staff that keep to their specific duties. Looks ike the meats, potatoes, and the bread are already cooked. So bam, throw the egg down and thats it. Basically a buffet style they prepare for you. It wasn't that bad. The sneeze guard, well let's say dosnt work. The staff is very friendly and greeted you as you walked in. Always a nice touch. Its a young staff. I'm leaving that alone. Back to the small place again, if you don't mind sitting real close to people, if you don't mind maybe a yelling/coughing kids, if you don't have anxiety in small places like elevators, this place is for you. Suggestion, when you first walk in and its more than just yourself, grab a table and a menu first. Then order. Limited seating. Its very busy inside. They do have outdoor seating which is pretty cool. Not on a hot summer day. Well I'm running out of ideas, just wanted to finish my $3.50 coffee and my $17.00 breakfast. So, bring credit card with room on it because its not cheap for your precooked food. As always for my followers, if you like me to check out a place for you drop me a line here and ill post my review. Enjoy life, share your love, complement at least one person every day. Watch the impact of love grow. Peace!!! read more

It looks promising as you park and stroll on over. The cafe itself is cozy, feels warm and inviting. The display case is filled with delicious looking cakes... The staff is not too excited about being there...the coffee was ok...the cookie was great...the chai tea latte tasted something not right - I'm not sure what happened but either someone filled the cup with existing residue or they just didn't want to take the extra effort to stir a $5 cup of chai tea coffee. The chalk art on the wall is interesting. read more

The food and service was excellent! My sandwich was perfect, they had oat milk for my mocha. Would recommend it to anyone.

Food is excellent and reliable. Great coffee and pastry. Timely service. Seating is comfortable.

Essence House Cafe - Essence breakfast plate, and breakfast taco. - Cafes Near Me - Fulshear, Texas

Went for late breakfast. We had the Tri meat breakfast plate. Was really good with large portion. The service was extremely slow and cafe was not busy at all. We got our food five minutes before my friends Cappuccino was made. read more

Whenever I'm in Fulshear at lunchtime, I'll get a delicious sandwich to go. My husband and I get late lunches on weekends as well. It's an older café, nothing fancy. We have loved going to Essence café for many years. read more

The food and service was good. But, as noted by a previous reviewer about a year ago, this restaurant does have cleanliness issues. It is in serious need of a deep clean (dead flies on window seals, old, dried splashed liquids, gunk in floor corners, etc) and general maintenance (ceiling tiles stained, paint needs refreshing, etc). These are things corrected with mainly elbow grease and attention to excellence. I hope the owners note and take action. It is not pleasant to sit and try to eat in a place that is not clean. I want to go back but until I know it has been cleaned I don't think I can. read more

Definitely a small home town GEM to Enjoy... I always Appreciate the floor manager (Carlos)..

Essence House Cafe - a breakfast of waffles, eggs, and fruit - Cafes Near Me - Fulshear, Texas

Cozy little local café in Fulshear has a wonderful feel and excellent breakfast and lunch menu. Family friendly and wonderful waitstaff.

Loved the food cozy place been there the first time it's located in downtown Fulshear and very friendly lovely place to hang out with friends and family read more

Okay, so the unsweet tea is strangely flavored. This alone might prevent me from coming back, ever basically. But, I'm going to try to be objective because I'm coming here having just eaten and I'm probably only going to have some dessert. These are the kinds of places traditionally I want to love. Overall though the logistics are getting in the way of enjoying the dining experience. Funky tea notwithstanding, the kitchen isn't properly ventilated. While I was eating someone ordered some sort of fish related dish and the whole restaurant smelled like fish for several minutes. On the other hand the cake was fairly good, if maybe slightly overpriced for the portion size. On balance I'm going to have to call this a 3 until I can come back to give it a more thorough test. read more

Good food for a reasonable price. Small so you have to get there early! Order at the counter and they deliver to your table

Good breakfast. A little expensive but everything seems to be nowadays. Staff is usually friendly and they have a big menu.

Excellent food and location in Fulshear, right off the main street through town. I've only been here for breakfast/brunch, but each time it's exceeded my expectations. They are enforcing social distancing, and not bringing coffee to the table for refills but it really wasn't that different than previous visits before COVID. The coffee really rocked my world, and I don't know why, but it is some of the best coffee I've had in ages. Definitely try it out if you need a little help in the mornings! Portion sizes are more than generous, and you'll be left full, sleepy, and ready to start your nap.. er, I mean day. Whatever you decide to do after leaving Essence House, you'll probably be thinking about the next time you'll be back and what you'll eat then. read more

Curbside service is excellent. Even on a busy day this business always takes the time to make it a fabulous experience. The white win soup, grilled shrimp sandwich and carrot cake fill my dreams. Yuummm read more

Amazing pancakes! Strawberry shortcake Had a late conference call and wanted something 'home cooked'. My son and I enjoyed it. Made fresh and truly hit the spot will be back for sure. Small town charm. The service was great and didn't have to wait long. Not a fan of the mocha frap, but wouldn't dock them for one item. Coffee tasted old. read more
