I love seeing this place's Saturday morning specials on Instagram every week, so one Saturday I finally woke up early enough to go try the pastrami croissant. The croissant itself was the real star. It was so flaky and so rich. I found myself peeling off layer after layer of the bread before even getting to the filling. The pastrami and mustard inside were great, but honestly... I just wanted the croissant. That said, it was a bit pricey. I would absolutely love if they sold plain croissants regularly because the pastry alone is worth the trip. It's a small bakery with limited seating inside and outside, and on Saturdays things sell out fast so get there early and expect a line. read more

I live nearby so I had been wanting to go to this place for a while as I had heard a lot about it. I went on Saturday to see what they had. Parking was really easy as there is a lot in the front and it was not busy. I got two pastries - a Cherry Bakewell Tart and an Almond Blueberry Financier. It is fairly small and the people there were kind. The pastries were delicious. The shortcrust base of the Cherry Bakewell was perfectly crumbly and the cherry jam was just the right amount of tartness. The Financier was equally tasty as the blueberries also had a similar sweet and mildly tart taste that balanced the buttery almond cake. Both pastries go great with coffee or tea. I will definitely be adding this bakery to my Heights rotation. I look forward to tasting more of their items and hopefully trying some of their weekend specials! read more

My wife and I love this place. We often try to catch the Saturday special, but it is often sold out. Becky and crew can really whip up some amazing baked goods. Her holiday pies were next level and definitely made Thanksgiving and Christmas that much better. Try their couch potato cookie or their chocolate pecan tart! Strike that, try anything and you will likely love it! read more

Nailed it with the Saturday rotating offerings. There is always a line. We got there at 0945 this Saturday and they ask only five at a time to go in. We waited about 15 minutes max in addition to getting there early. Everything was available so we got it all and it was worth it. Parking isn't bad even if you aren't in the lot because there's neighborhood street parking. read more

Another savory Saturday at Fluff Bake Bar. I finally got a chance to try the Franklin's BBQ brisket croissant, along with their cinnamon roll bread pudding, their couch potato cookie, and lemon tart. I showed up 5 minutes before they opened, and was in and out in about 15 minutes. I love the variety and the fact that I can enjoy the rest of my weekend in a sugar coma. read more

Kind of pricey, but extremely delicious. The butter cookie is outstanding. Although, most of the stuff they sell is tasty.

I come here almost every weekend. This is hands down my favorite bakery in Houston. I recommend it to as many people as I can. I normally come for the cookies, but lately I've been trying more things. Trust me, everything here is PHENOMENAL! I read some of the other reviews & saw some people leaving negative comments about the service. Every interaction I have had with the workers (and owner) has been great. The owner is funny, sweet, & quite frankly a genius. How she came up with such beautiful recipes is mind blowing!! Thanks for always providing amazing sweets & even better service. *side note I'm currently eating a unicorn bait in bed lol* read more

The Veruca salt cake is totally worth $61.50 (for 8" as of March 2024). It's described as "devil's food cake paired with salted caramel buttercream, pretzel crunch and Valrhona Caramelia crunchy pearls". The cake was well balanced, not too sweet, and had really great texture. This is a cake that I definitely cannot make myself at home at my current skill level. It was too perfect! I really appreciated the neat hand writing. You are allowed three words... generally it's "Happy Birthday (Name)". The baker wrote it much neater than I can do with a pencil or pen. Well done! It's controversial, but I wasn't a huge fan of an automatic gratuity of 15 percent and being asked twice to tip online, especially before receiving the cake or experiencing the service. It can be manually adjusted whatever value you prefer, but I rather the employee's wages be fairly baked into the price - just personal preference. We bought some day-old cookies for a discounted price. No regrets there! We enjoyed every bit of it! No vegan options (currently) for those who live that life style - sorry! If you want the cake, you must order in advance. I ordered the day before. Just do it! You'll love it! read more

Everything was flavorful. The customer service was great as well. I forgot the name of the guy who i spoke with. He helped me decide on what to get by explaining things he'd suggest for me based on what i like. Great place with great people. read more

My wife is a home baker and this is her favorite bakery. The treats at Fluff Bake Bar are next level!!! The pumpkin spice whoopie pie was the best she ever had. Her favorite cookies are the fluff house and toffee chocolate. The chocolate bourbon pecan tart is sinful! Service was quick and efficient. The shop is set up so you can see the bakers in action. We watched the bakers work and they were totally in the zone! The place smelled great! They definitely use quality ingredients and you can taste it in every bite. We live in Sugar Land and it's totally worth the drive! You won't regret the trip! read more

Big shout out and 5 stars for the ICON chocolate cake. WOW! My family has a contest for this particular birthday to find, or make, the best chocolatey, chocolate cake, and this one delivers!!! My compliments to Rebecca on PERFECT texture and flavor. I've ordered many custom cakes and so many have been heavy and dry. This cake was amazingly light and perfectly moist. The fact it can be so chocolatey and both the cake and icing so light at the same time is cake magic. Rebecca is an absolute pleasure. Can't wait to try more goodies! read more

I'm a believer! The baked goods and cookies at Fluff are incredible! So glad Yelp led me here, nestled in a quiet neighborhood. For service with a smile and an amazing assortment for your sweet tooth, look no further! read more

My husband and I typically watch Chef Chris Sheperd's weekly installments on "Eat Like a Local" then take note of his recommendations and try to make it around it to the most notable and interesting ones, based on our preferences. Today I stopped by Fluff for a couch potato and fluffer nutter. So. Worth. It. This brilliant baking genius totally deserves spotlight. She is the real deal! Will be back, soon. read more

My favorite "meals" are those that require the discernment of my culinary sweet tooth. Enter Fluff Bake Bar. I've learned that if you follow her Instagram long enough, you'll eventually end up in the shop, no one knows how it happens, but it happens. Some items are hits, others misses, and although kind, I don't always feel "welcome" when I walk in. Nevertheless, I've tried countless pasties and I'm glad they're providing Houston with love in my form of sugar. read more

I recently bought a variety of cookies from this yummy bakery to take to family over Labor Day weekend. As always, everything was over-the-top delicious! A good outcome was that everyone had a different favorite so there were no fights over cookies. Ha! They also have a frequent buyers club so the occasional bonus cookie is a sweet reward. Can't recommend them enough. read more

I forgot how much I enjoyed Fluff Bake Bar Stopped by last Saturday and picked up some cookies, the trillionaire was my favorite, reminds me of a Kit Kat but way better , the couch potato cookie is also a classic , it must have been my lucky day as I was about to leave I was asked if i wanted a cheese burger, I was like oh you guys sell burgers now ? They said no we just made some extras and wanted to see if you would like one , the burger was also delicious maybe they should add that to the menu read more

Fluff is a local Heights bakery that offers lots of sweets and also savory specialty items on the weekend. It's kind of hidden away from the main street but they do have a parking lot (which is a plus for anything located in the Heights area). I went there to visit my friend Eunice who works there and she had great recommendations of course. I personally like "normal" basic flavors so I got the chocolate chip ($2.50) - trust me there's plenty of weird flavors like their couch potato. They have an open kitchen inside which is fun so you can see the work that goes on to make their baked goods. read more

I just stopped here with my son today after a Yelp recommendation popped up. Unfortunately our service experience left much to be desired. After receiving our order, I went to read one of the cookbooks on their shelf when the owner came out and told me I couldn't read any of the books because someone before me spilled on one her books and ruined it for me. As we made our way to a table to eat she rudely told me where to get napkins and utensils. As we ate we heard her loudly telling someone in the bakery repeatedly she wasn't going to do something. Over all the vibes here were not welcoming . The cookies we had were good so if you're curious or have to have a sweet treat I'd recommend getting your order and leaving. The owner makes it very clear she'd prefer it that way and we won't be back. read more

Our first time inside the bakery and the male working is very friendly. He talked to us about the different cookies & made nice conversation. There was an older lady there as well who didn't really engage with us. We got several cookies to try. We got the double chocolate peanut butter cookie, ginger molasses, oatmeal, gooey butter cookie, cheezit chocolate chip, couch potato & a whoopie pie & another cookie that reminded us of nutter butters. The cheezit and couch potato were our least favorites. We tried them cause it was weird, but I wouldn't recommend. Our favorites were oatmeal, double chocolate peanut butter & ginger molasses. All other cookies were just okay. Their dark chocolate ice cream however is freaking delicious & so good!! Highly recommend you try that! Thanks! read more

I've been here too many times, as my waistline could tell you, but I absolutely love their cookies and treats, and even when I get something I didn't love, it's still damn good.

Great cookies! The sugar cookie one was my favorite. Not a big fan of the gooey butter but I'm from the place where gooey butter became popular so I have very high standards on that. Cosmic brownie was also delicious. Wish I could have tried everything but they are thicker so you get full faster. Will definitely be back! read more

Baked goods from the heart! My wife and I visited Fluff Bake Bar after watching Chris Shepherd's Eat Like a Local feature at their relatively new location in the Heights. We drove all the way from Pearland on a Sunday with the hopes of trying her featured apple cider doughnuts. We arrived 30 minutes prior to the 12pm opening and ended up being the first four people allowed in the bar with the line of people growing larger by the minute. I must admit we were a bit intimidated as we felt we needed to be decisive and quick with our choices, not wanting to overstay our welcome or appear as amateurs. But one thing that was noted immediately was the quaint, heartfelt vibes going on inside the bar. The smells were unbelievable, the sights of the cookies, doughnuts behind the glass were like we just stepped into a working kitchen, which it was of course. We made our selections of four apple cider doughnuts and a dozen of the ginger molasses cookies...we wanted more but felt nervous about being too glutenous on our first visit. We even had Chef Rebecca helping us out with our selections, what a treat in itself! Later that day and back in the comfort of our own home, we finally sat down to try our choices. First, the Apple Cider doughnuts were light yet full of flavor, with what appeared to be a layer of apple cider at the bottom...WOW! They were delicious. THEN we each shared one of the Ginger Molasses cookies...OMG, my wife and I were taken aback with the softness and flavor of this cookie. My wife commented on the fact that I said "Oh My" at least a dozen times and even teared up as I finished my last bite. I am now 56 and this cookie took me right back to my grandmother's kitchen in upstate New York where she made dozen after dozen of her famous ginger molasses cookies with sprinkled sugar on top. Hats off to you Rebecca and your team at Fluff Bake Bar; not only are your baked goods delicious but they are truly nostalgic...I do believe we will be frequent visitors...who cares about the drive! (Later, we did get lucky online and were able order and later pick up Rebecca's famous Mountain Rose Apple Pie for our Thanksgiving Feast...Mic Drop!) read more

Another weekend night, another opportunity to try something new! On this particular Sunday night, we decided to head into midtown to find this Fluff Bake Bar. Parking could definitely be a problem but we managed to find street parking around the corner (free on Sunday's, yay!). The shop is small and unassuming but easy to find. It's larger than it seems but half is the kitchen (you can see inside). There is countertop seating inside with a table in the back. There's outdoor seating in front and out the back in a sort of courtyard. It's largely clean but a funny note is that the only trash can in the bathroom was tiny. Was up your paper towels before placing inside. Right when you walk in is the cash register and a simple menu but there's a refrigerated display case and a display counter of all their goodies. They seem to specialize in mainly cookies but they have other items as well. We decided to focus on cookies and step it up in the form of an ice cream sandwich because why not. I would have loved to try the couch potato but they use actual marshmallows (is that why the name - fluff??) which aren't vegetarian so... that was a no. I ended up getting Night Patrol (it had coffee in it for my husband who's a coffee addict) and a snickerdoodle to sandwich browned butter/brown sugar ice cream ($7). You can sample the ice creams. :) I got an iced chai with less ice and hubby got an americano with an extra shot of espresso because he likes it strong. Our other party member is controlling his diet so he had a cold brew with a milk chocolate oatmeal cookie. The cookies were DELICIOUS. I nibbled on them without the ice cream so I could judge them better. I liked the texture of the snickerdoodle better as it was chewier but you can't really go wrong. The ice cream had a whole other dimension to it because how can you go wrong with browned butter???? Whoever thought that up was a genius. As a whole, it was heavenly. They are on the big side so good enough to share, but if you decided you wanted dessert for a meal, have one to yourself. Plus, I found that they weren't too sweet! I admit I had some reservations on needing to guzzle water but I'm glad that wasn't the case. My latte ($4) was nice and aromatic. I don't think they used whole milk but quite enjoyable. Our other member thought his items were fine. My husband is always indifferent towards my food adventures but he seemed okay with them and he agreed they weren't too sweet. No worries; they're both lost causes. I'd most certainly return to get another ice cream sandwich trying other cookie flavors - and ALWAYS with that browned butter ice cream. read more

First Timer here! This has been in the neighborhood for a while now and have always hesitated to try this place but I'm glad I did. I ordered some birthday cake in a jar and it was good not great. I'm more of a fan of more cake than icing this was vice versa. However, the bakery redeemed itself with some of the best cookies I've ever had. My favorite was this oatmeal chocolate chip it was the perfect texture of oatmeal and crispy but gooey inside. I also had their "couch potato" cookie which had potato chips, chocolate chips every kind of chip you can think of, it was very good. I definitely would come back to this little bakery in the neighborhood when my sweet tooth starts acting up! read more

This shop is so cute and the treats are so perfectly made and well-salted! My all time fave is the Birthday Cake Whoopie Pies, because yummm they are perfection! Perfect amount of vanilla buttercream, and really moist cakey sides. Did I already say that these baked goods are perfectly salted?! I'm always down to eat the Couch Potato cookie, which is full of texture contrast from the chewy gooey dough center, to the crispness of the baked edges and the potato chips and pretzel bits. The Meyer Lemon Tart is also another gem! On another visit I had the Veruca Salt cake in a cup, and that salted caramel buttercream really makes the cake. One of these days, I'll try their ice cream and their Saturday morning specials! read more

The owner is one of the rudest people I have ever met. After being a fan for years I will never step inside this establishment again. The bake goods are not good enough to put up with her attitude and yelling at customers. read more

You know what's easy? Being kind, welcoming, engaging with customers. You know what isn't great for business? A condescending, rude attitude. I have tried not to let the owner's unpleasant demeanor keep me from coming here. I'm done. There are much better bakeries closer to home. By all the reviews pointing out similar encounters, I am glad to know I wasn't singled out. To the owner-if you want to keep customers, you should hire someone who cares about keeping customers and stay in the back. read more
