What a stunning restaurant. The greenery throughout the store made everything feel so wholesome and the elegant decor added a touch of sophistication. The exterior is just as beautifully decorated. It's clear that chef-owner Lori Pope poured a lot of time, heart, and soul into both the menu and the store's design. The hostess was super friendly. As soon as I walked in, she gave me a warm and smiling greeting. The menu was a feast for the eyes. It had a lot of lovely pictures of the different dishes. I was ecstatic to see that there were so many vegetarian and vegan friendly options. Also, most of the dishes can be requested to be made gluten-free. Big plus. You don't order at your table, instead you go to the counter in the back and make sure to bring the sheet with your table number on it. The gal at the counter who took our order wasn't as friendly as the hostess but she was polite enough to inform us about the 15% charge. The food came out very quickly. Hopefully it's because they had a ton of people working in the back. Hopefully. I ordered the Magic Mushroom Tacos and thought it was a beautiful plate. My favorite thing about the dish is the tortillas. It had a nice light crisp to it and kept all the fillings intact from start to finish. The "Magic Mushrooms" were good but could have been better if the batter were lighter and crispier. The batter was a little on the heavy and dense side for me. I also think the sauce could be even better if it had a bit less oil and a bit more flavor. I really enjoyed the potato slices and the fresh berries were a great way to cleanse the palate. My lunch date ordered the Biscuit and gravy dish and thought it was good. We also ordered a side of the Belgian waffle to share. I thought the waffle on its own was extremely sweet and way too dense for my liking. I am happy there's a locally owned and created brunch place like Harvest Kitchen and will definitely be back to try other dishes. Note: There's an automatic 15% service charge to every order. read more

To the point: Atmosphere - great Greet - good Food - good Service - fair Cleanliness - great Would I return - only if in a group and this was the choice I unfortunately don't agree with an automatic tip! This is done because of the ordering process and the requirement to pay at the top of the meal rather than at the end and service was actually performed. The fact that all was done was the delivery of our order and not one check on the table to see how the meal was. They did come by and ask for the dishes, but didn't ask how the meal was. Rating: AWESOME - GREAT - GOOD - FAIR - POOR read more

This place is a hidden gem for some nice brunch!!! The place is so cute, and the service is really good. The owner came up to us which was really sweet and nice. The food here is amazing too.

We went the Saturday before Mother's Day for the first time and it was great. The service was different but wonderful, they ask about dietary restrictions before hand, there's a nameplate placed on your table. It all felt very personalized. The food was just as good as it looked and so fresh, the presentationwas the icing on the cake!! The decorations are well thought out and it felt more like eating at a beloved family member's house as opposed to a restaurant, so you not only taste the love but you FEEL it! read more

Harvest Kitchen & Bakery is truly a gem and a must-visit. The food is outstanding, and as someone who recently started a keto journey, I was so impressed by the variety of keto-friendly options available. The hot chicken breakfast tacos are a must, and their keto desserts are next level, every single one was delicious. The ambiance is just as amazing as the food. From the moment you walk in, it feels like home. The décor is beautiful, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. One of my favorite touches was how they personalize each table by placing your name on it when you're seated which instantly makes the experience feel special and welcoming. The owner and chef, Lori, is an absolute joy. She personally goes around greeting each table and truly connects with her guests. When I mentioned my keto lifestyle, she took the time to share helpful advice on how to maintain it, which meant so much to me. Her warmth and passion shine through, and it's easy to see why Harvest has such an incredible reputation and has been loved by the community for so many years. I will definitely be back! read more

The ambience is pretty chill, but you can also bring a family or a group. They just don't have very large tables. read more

We have been meaning to try this brunch spot near us ever since moving to Katy! The first time we went it was over an hour wait on a Sunday afternoon. We decided to try again early Saturday morning. Ended up still being a 50-55 min wait on 10am Saturday. I'm glad we waited though bc easily worth it! You enter the waitlist via a QR code on a sign outside the restaurant and then wait in your car where they'll text you whenever your table is ready. You wait in a line to order at the register and then sit at your assigned table where they bring you your food. Inside ambiance was spectacular, attention to detail and very Fall oriented which we loved. Very homey and mom/pop shop feel. Service was great and super prompt. Food was ran out immediately when ready and very fresh/hot. We got the pumpkin spiced latte and salted caramel latte which came out very quickly. The flavors were a bit muted and not overly sweet. Probably the weakest part of the meal. We got the double chicken and waffles and the monte Cristo, as well as a French toast trio to share. Chicken waffle-5/5. Amazing crunchy batter with like a Nashville hot syrup. We ordered the level 3 moderate spicy. The waffles were almost like candied and crispy. The chicken tenders were huge! Easily could have been satisfied with the one tender serving. Monte Cristo-5/5. The best Monte cristo I've had in years! Batter was crispy and doughy like a donut. And served with a raspberry marmalade. And 2 eggs cooked your way. French toast trio (banana nut cookie butter, lemon berry, and cinnamon)-5/5. The French toast were small so it is a very shareable plate. Served with cinnamon sugar and syrup. Made from a sourdough bread, so a bit thicker than the typical French toast. Amazing brunch and amazing time! We can't wait to come back with our families to try more of this spectacular and extensive menu! read more

Lori and her Team is the best. This is now my favorite place to eat in all of Houston. I never eat runny eggs. I order a dish and forgot to asked them to make my eggs scrambled well done. To my surprise the eggs were liquid in my wife was like "oh no". I said it's my fault. I just proceeded to eat the meal anyway. Yes, I was really hungry. That was a full 1 and a 1/2 experience. There wash no need to wash the plate went I was done. Garfield read more

I got the omg burger, an iced matcha, and a iced chai. The burger and chai were just ok. I've been wanting to go to this place for a long time because I've heard it's so great but it was kinda disappointing. The burger was soggy, kinda funny tasting, and overpriced for its size. It comes with a small cup of salad, but still not worth it. And the chai has a LOT of cinnamon powder that it was kinda grainy. Matcha was alright, but I wasn't able/allowed to lower the sweetness so I assume it's from a concentrate/lower quality matcha powder that comes pre-sweetened. My mom had been here before and loved it! But it wasn't great imo. read more

My niece treated me to brunch at this quaint/eclectic restaurant. What can I say? This place blew me away on so many levels. The food is amazing; freshly made chicken and waffles and variety of Fresh then have a large vegan menu. If you're in the neighborhood. I had the opportunity of meeting the owner and you can tell she takes pride in preparing the best entrees possible for her customers. She comes out and floated around to check on every customer. She even bought me a free vegan meal00I will stop in and get this place up try. Fair wandering though it's crowded on the weekends because work has gotten out how good they are but take a chance it's worth it. read more

My husband and I were looking for something different and boy did we find it! This delightful restaurant is tucked away in a corner of Katy. It is a treasure. This place is a perfect place for a quiet, cozy date, brunch with friends or family meal as they are very family friendly. The food is some of the best I've had in ages. There are no words to describe how amazing the waffle was, but I'll try. It was large, but fluffy, sweet, buttery and in my humble opinion, better than those "magical" waffles you get at Disney resorts. Seriously, the best waffle I've ever had. It complimented the fried chicken tender perfectly. And that chicken - home-cooked like mom's, not a fast food chicken tender. I got the kids portion because I am a light eater and it was perfect, but they do have an adult version and a double I believe complete with sides. When scooting into our booth, we moved the table a little too much and some coffee spilled. I went to ask for extra napkins and before I made it back from the coffee bar someone was at our table cleaning it up. They are on the ball! I know you'll be pouring over the menu when you're in line, but don't forget to turn around and look at the local items for sale - bath soaps, hand-made wash cloths, etc. We will 100% be back! read more

A Katy Gem Worth the Wait! Five stars all the way. It was our first visit, and it definitely won't be our last! We arrived around 8:25 a.m. on a Saturday and the line had already started. We hopped on the waitlist and were promptly seated once the doors opened. Since it was my birthday brunch, I ordered the quiche and a waffle, while my husband enjoyed the biscuits and gravy along with the French toast. Everything was delicious--the waffle had a sugar pearl topping that was over the top, the crustless quiche was perfectly flavorful, the biscuits and gravy were rich and hearty, and the French toast was simply yummy! Chef Lori stopped by our table to wish me a happy birthday and even gave me the cutest tiara to celebrate. She and the entire staff were incredibly friendly and personable--such a thoughtful touch that made the experience extra special. The atmosphere is charming and cozy, perfect for a ladies' brunch or a relaxed couples' breakfast. Wonderful service, lovely ambiance, and great food--we'll definitely be back! Thank you Chef Lori for making our first experience here a magical one. read more

The Wait Is Part of the Experience -- And Worth It We visited Harvest Fresh for Sunday brunch and were quoted a 1 hour and 30 minute wait. We waited the full time -- and yes, it is extremely busy on Sundays. Once inside, the process is a bit different from traditional table service. You're seated with a large menu, then you get back up to stand in line to place your order at the register. Drinks and coffee are ordered separately, and you pay upfront (with an automatic 15% gratuity added). After that, you return to your table and wait for your number to be called. At first, the flow can feel a little overwhelming -- especially after already waiting 90 minutes. However, here's what stood out: The wait is part of the experience. If you do not have time, this may not be the place for you on a busy Sunday. But if you plan ahead and prepare to spend some time, the reward is absolutely worth it. The food is fantastic. The quality is excellent. The pricing is fair. The staff is kind and welcoming despite how busy it gets. What truly made the experience special was the personal touch from the chef. She made herself available throughout our visit. I met her at the entrance when we first arrived and recognized her from an article I had read. She was incredibly kind and has a wonderful personality. The hostesses -- three or four of them -- were fantastic. They greeted us warmly, were patient, and thoroughly explained the wait time and ordering process. They made sure we understood exactly what to expect. As for the atmosphere, it feels like a blend of concepts -- a little homestyle restaurant, a little coffee shop, a little brunch café, all under one roof. There's a lot going on with the décor -- chandeliers, dining room energy, coffee bar vibe -- and at times it can feel slightly eclectic or even confusing. But clearly, it's working for them. Sunday brunch here is popular for a reason. I can't speak for the rest of the week, but on Sunday it is extremely busy -- and understandably so. Come prepared to wait. Come prepared to relax. And come prepared for a wonderful brunch experience. read more

Harvest Kitchen & Bakery - Monte Cristo. They don't sell it anymore. RIP - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Katy, Texas

Went here for a little brekky with a friend visiting from DC. This was both our first time and came highly recommended by a friend of mine from the gym. Like he said if you're looking for a bomb brunch spot THIS THE ONE. And not gonna lie he cooked with this one. Ordered a special variant of their chicken and waffles I mean it had this special bagel/bun with a cheese melted over top and had nice creamy scrambled eggs with two pieces of mild to hot chicken tenders (they were LONG) and there was also a lil avocado poking in too, and if my description didn't give it away, it was really GOOD. But don't let that take away from the supporting cast of food cause those little round breakfast potatoes omg, I mean good spice, good taste, good little crisp. Perfection. Just cause we were feeling fancy too and got the affogato and it was good don't get me wrong but like it was spur of moment kind of thing like I wasn't raving about it. Honestly the quality of anything you get you I don't think you'd be disappointed with, it's kind of like what kind of vibe you're feeling like classic breakfast items with pancakes or French toast? Or maybe you're feeling tacos? Like I think if you go with what you're craving you'll be taken care of. Service was great, if it's your first time they even write your name down before seating you to the table making ya feel all special and welcomed and the owner/head chef Ms Pope comes and says hello and asks how everything is. I mean hospitality is definitely there. Ambiance is nice too, just a busy little cozy place with nice booths for you to have conversations in. Definitely worth putting this place in your Breakfast/brunch list! read more

I wish I could tell Lori in-person, but this food is special. I can only imagine the thought, care, love, money, and time that went into making these recipes this luscious and delicious. You can tell the entire menu has been a labor of love, and I am so thankful to have gotten the opportunity to try her food today. First, every single person I spoke to in the restaurant was wonderfully friendly and made you feel at home. Everyone spoke to me so kindly and actually seemed like they wanted to be there. Their personalities fed the calming vibe I felt stepping into the door. I love the ambiance of the restaurant too and how it feels like you're actually in a person's very large kitchen. Comfort is what I felt immediately. Having had a gluten allergy for almost two decades, it is hard to find some of the food I grew up with back in the day. Today, I had the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich with kettle chips and fruit. I can truly say that this was the best sandwich I have ever had in my life. Every single thing about this sandwich was thought out and beautifully executed. HUGE chicken breast - not a pounded thin breast. CHUNKY and tender and perfectly seasoned and nicely smothered with just the right amount of Nashville Hot Sauce. The coleslaw wasn't too creamy, so it didn't weight the sandwich down. The homemade pickles gave a perfect vinegar kick to the sandwich, and how this gluten free bun held up against this bird is beyond me. I even had it in a container for almost 20 minutes, and it was still perfection and did not fall apart. Every part of that sandwich was even better than I imagined it was going to be, and I honestly had stopped eating sandwiches because gluten free ones are rarely good, and the bun/bread is normally junk and crumbly. The fruit had blueberries the size of a thumbnail, so HUGE, and they were juicy and delicious. Strawberries were also great! I know it's wild I'm talking about a fruit cup, but here we are. Those chips are not something I could eat everyday only because my doctor would be displeased, but they are those deep brown kettle chips pulled out just at the right time for crunch and wonderful potato flavor. I also got pastries, but after that sandwich I needed a breather, but I admit to tasting a pecan off the keto pumpkin roll and YES PLEASE. I am so thankful to get to eat such wonderful gluten free food that has had so much care put into it. What a treat to have fueled my body today with Lori and team's amazing food! Truly one of the best meals I have had in a very long time, and it was takeout - not even dine-in! I cannot wait to come back again! read more

The service at Harvest Kitchen was great! We even had a chance to speak to Chef Pope who allowed us to have a complimentary slice of carrot cake! It was a quaint restaurant tucked away in a shopping center. Had I not looked for local restaurants on Yelp, I'm afraid I would have never stopped by. We were seated within 20 minutes which was great because it gave us time to look over the menu which had a variety of options that are suitable for a variety of dietary preferences and restrictions. My friend and I had chai tea and a chai latte respectively, which we enjoyed. We shared the spicy cauliflower which we enjoyed. We got medium spice level and it was a nice heat with a bit of sweetness. Reminded me of a BBQ rub you'd find on a nice brisket. My friend ordered the vegetarian tacos which she enjoyed and I got the Fried Goat Cheese Avocado Toast which was great! I love goat cheese and savored each bite. Ultimately, I'd return if I was ever in the area. read more

My sister has been telling me about how great this place is for a while, and I finally came to check it out. I thought the food here was excellent across the board. The main downside is the wait is lengthy, even later in the morning. We opted to sit outside to skip the wait, but it was chilly and they don't have heaters. I ordered the quiche and my friend ordered the mushroom tacos. All of it was very well-seasoned. I'm not sure what magical method they use for cooking the potatoes, but my friend gave me a slice and it was crisp on the edges and soft in the middle. Very delicious! The quiche tasted great, it was just a lot tinier portion than I anticipated. The mushrooms on the taco were very sizable portions and fried to a nice crunch. For my drink, I had a butterscotch latte, and that was really good too. I'm excited to come back and try more! read more

When you pull into Harvest Kitchen and Bakery, it just looks like any strip center restaurant. But when you open the door, WOW-it is so beautifully decorated it kind of took my breath away-just because it was so unexpected. The friend I was meeting for lunch knew to join the waitlist (even on a kind of random Monday) so we were able to get in line right away. I was glad I was with someone who had been to the restaurant before because the procedure is different than most restaurants. You join a waitlist, and when your name is up you are given menus and then stand in line while looking at the menu-beautiful pictures (check out their web site) of every dish-it is a LOT to go through while in a short line. After ordering at a counter, you are given a number and your food is delivered. The plates look gorgeous-just like the photos, and everything was delicious. Clearly they take a lot of pride in their restaurant and it shows! So why am I not giving 5 stars? The food deserves 5 stars-it is very good. The prices were a bit high in my opinion. I had a brisket grilled cheese which came with a cup of soup and small salad. This was $21. After adding a drink, tip was automatically added (even though it was not really a table service restaurant) and tax, my bill was nearly $30. I thought this was a bit high for lunch. And since there was a tip added, I expected some table service, but other than bringing out meals-there really wasn't any. No one checked on us, offered more drinks (even water). Someone did clear our plates well after we were done eating. So..the food and ambiance were excellent...prices and service not 5 Star, but regardless, I'd definitely return here again. read more

First time visitor and future regular guest. I chose this place for my fiancé's birthday brunch because she likes cute little places and the menu online along with the Chef's profile were quite appealing. The restaurant was beyond cozy and there aren't enough words to express how delicious the food was. The topper was being able to meet Chef Lori Pope. She stopped by doing a regular table visit and acknowledged my fiancé's birthday while offering her a "princess tiara" to keep. This thing was not cheap and she said, that it was her gift. At first, I could see the reluctance to wear it, but after putting it on, I knew she felt special. The gesture alone meant more than you know. While speaking about the food I asked about a certain ingredient out of curiosity because it gave the dish a unique level of spice while also adding exploding flavor. Chef Lori went to the back and returned with some of the spices and a sauce for us to take home with us. I am a restaurant guy and I was inspired to witness Chef so proud of her establishment and her food that she wanted to be present to speak with her guests and share her love of food. We are already planning our return visit. I cannot stress enough, how perfect this experience was. read more

Okay, overall it is cute and good food BUT I will say it is overpriced and has a service fee even though the entire experience seems basically self served?
