Rose Petal Pancakes
Gabrielle Nicole C.

Little Hen is such a beautiful spot! The floral decor and pastel details make it feel like stepping into a fairytale. We had the Rose Petal Pancakes, and the rose-infused syrup was SO yummy! My daughter wanted scrambled egg whites with a side of bacon, and they were able to prepare it for her quickly. Everyone was so kind and accommodating, which made the experience even better. I also love that afternoon tea is available anytime! Such a special place for brunch, and we can't wait to come back! Also dressing up for tea is optional but I highly recommend it!!

My cousin and I visited Little Hen in River Oaks for afternoon tea to celebrate her birthday, and we had such a great time! The entire place is absolutely adorable, classy, and beautifully decorated with such a lovely ambiance. We tried the special with the pink waffles and pancakes, which was just as cute as the restaurant itself! The service was great, and the whole experience felt special. This is definitely the perfect spot for a girls' day, birthdays, bridal showers, or baby showers. Such a pretty little gem in Houston! We really enjoyed ourselves and would definitely come back!

This restaurant has a very pretty garden tea party aesthetic! I think it'd be a great place to dress up and take pictures, lots of people celebrating birthdays. The food was pretty decent, nothing super great. The dirty lavender was actually pretty terrible. I couldn't drink it, it was way too floral for me and there were the actual flower buds in the drink. I'd rather not have the buds in my drink.

This was such a cute little place for brunch! The vibes and aesthetics for "tea time" are on point. I love all the décor, furniture, silverware, and the service. Our waiter gave us great suggestions. He was also very patient with us as we kept chatting away. This is a place to dress over the top and be EXTRA! This is the place for a floral brunch to catch up on with friends or family, not so much for young active children. Dates are a maybe; it'll be more for the person who really likes gardens and a slow place environment. The theme really carried this review. (+1 star) I had Jasmine tea, orange juice, and avocado benedict. The tea had a great aroma. The orange juice is fresh and sweet. The avocado benedict was as expected. I felt this was overprice and average but the price includes the themed restaurant. I would like to see more dishes on their menu or maybe a rotating seasonal menu? I would come here again with some of my girlies for drinks and vibes. Food, not as much. There's paid street parking and there's a free parking garage half a block away.

This place was perfect for regular brunch, and outing with the ladies, or a coed tea party. I did not realize there are several locations near my home but glad I found this one in the Houston area. You have to try the Rose petal pancakes, which is what I think they are known for. It is definitely a new experience. And of course, you have to order tea, which the server will pour into your cup for you. Lovely atmosphere and service and food. A must visit!

Cute brunch with friends that give you "Bridgerton" vibes. Super friendly service and classy atmosphere. You can definitely have a great tea time here as well. I recommend making a reservation but they did accommodate us as a walk in of 6, but I think we just got lucky. The water service is $1 per person (still or sparkling), we started with some lattes which came in beautifully crafted cups. Then we got entrees. I had the chicken and waffles and my friend has the burger. The attention to detail is amazing but we were underwhelmed by the quality of the fries. Everything was super tasty and pleasing to the eyes.

Rose pancakes

Little hen is a quintessential girls brunch place. They have an afternoon tea service, but are known for floral interiors and exteriors for photos while serving decent food, though quite overpriced for the portions. We initially ordered Churrasco split eggs and the Rose pancakes. Food came out on time and staff was very attentive however, the eggs had a hair in them. Was taken back to the kitchen immediately, and we changed our order to the plain churrasco after seeing the meat portion on the eggs be probably eight measly pieces for $26. Rose pancakes were consistent and delicious! Overall, a cute splurge in the river Oak shopping area, which does have free garage parking, with a couple stand-out menu items. Ambiance driven experience over food quality.

Steak and eggs

Place is super cutesy. Good for a girls brunch or a small bridal party. Food is nice and portioned well. The servers are also very nice and patient. The only con is that the place can get loud with music and talking and it's difficult to hear.

Scones and sandwiches

I started my 40th birthday celebration here. We had a 4:30 reservation for afternoon, but the weather was awful which put us behind. I called ahead and was reassured that we would still be able to get our experience. However, we were informed that last call was 5:30pm. We arrive around 4:50 and had to wait 5-7 minutes to be seated since our tables weren't ready. I used that time as an opportunity to take in the decor. It is a beautiful space and matched my theme perfectly. It was also louder and more tightly packed than I expected. The scones and sandwiches were cute and delicious. I loved that the scones were fresh and hot upon arrival. The tea was really good. I believe I got the Little Hen (lemon and mint). I'll definitely return and try out the brunch.

We stopped by Little Hen excited to try it after looking at their website and hearing so many good things. The ambiance and decor are absolutely stunning in person, and the restaurant feels very elegant and welcoming. Unfortunately, we weren't able to dine because we came as walk-ins. Their website mentions that walk-ins are accepted based on availability, but when we arrived we were informed that it was reservation only at the time. The hostess did kindly offer to place us on a waiting list in case any reservations canceled, which we appreciated. Since we didn't get the chance to try the food, I can't speak on the menu or overall dining experience. However, the restaurant itself is very pretty and seems like it would be a lovely spot for brunch or a special occasion. I would definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time to avoid disappointment.

OMG! I just found my new favorite brunch place in Houston! Where to begin...the place is beautiful! It is so Instagram-worthy! I came here with a friend on a Thursday and we did not have a reservation, but we were able to sit outside which was equally as beautiful. My friend ordered tea and they brought her the cutest tea cup and tea pot. I had the mocha latte and it was delicious! We tried the hash brown, and I am not usually a fan of those but this one was so good! I also ordered the Chilaquiles with Carnitas and they were delicious!! Service was great, our server was very attentive and friendly. She checked up on us but without overwhelming us. Needless to say, I will be back but next time I will make a reservation because I do want to sit in the inside and experience that part of the restaurant.

Strawberry French toast
Holly H.

Came here for a birthday breakfast and it did not disappoint. You definitely need a reservation which we had so no issue when we arrived with wait time. We sat on the patio and it was a little chilly so they turned on the heaters for us and brought us shawls. The food and drinks were great and beautifully presented. I tried the strawberry French toast, iced mocha, and lychee rose martini. Since it was my birthday they also gave me a free rose which was a nice touch. Definitely recommend this place for a cute girl's brunch!

My cousin wanted to take me out for brunch and for some weird reason I never had little hand but I always wanted to try it. Parking was really easy as we got a spot right in front of the restaurant. We had reservations, as is required, and got to our table very quickly. But first..pictures in the flower archway. I didn't necessarily like our table because it was right in the Sun. However, there was no other spot because I had my one year old niece with us in a stroller. Everything we ordered: FRENCH TOAST BOURBON BATTER: bacon strips, caramelized pear, vanilla sauce 9/10 This seemed like it was on a brioche toast and it was one of the most deliciously thick and fluffy french toast I've had in a while. salmon eggs benedict SMOKED SALMON: red onion, dill 10/10 Everything work together. Just everything. The best salmon eggs benedict I've ever had and I've had several. Everything worked harmoniously well flavor-wise and the salmon was beautifully smoked. Pork sausages 9/10 These were nice and hot. They were a good size and good flavor. The casing wasn't too thick and it was a very easy chew. Stuffed hash - my cousin said she really liked this. But, she said she didn't notice that in the previous pictures it was much more but I guess... The economy has caused things to change? The BEST tea ever: Little Hen House Tea mint, honey & lemon. A very very easy 10/10. How incredibly delicious this tea was. I could have ordered 10,000 kettles to take home. It was sweet but not too sweet and beautifully lemony and honey and the mint was a nice perfect cherry on top. The combination was so yummy and warming to the soul. Caviar omelette: smoked salmon, cream cheese, caviar, chives - my cousin said this is pretty good. She did also notice a change in size from previous pictures and reviews though. An assortment of English scones served with clotted cream, strawberry compote and lemon curd. Flavors: Blueberry & Lemon 10/10 Orange 8/10 The scones were truly tasty. I have scones before and I'm so glad these weren't as hard as they typically are. They were nice, and warm, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Not too sweet but sweet enough. I want to return for some other menu items and definitely to try the high tea experience.

Hi! What is the dress code?

Once you make a reservation, they send a text with tons of details, including the dress code. When I went, the text said "we favor a glamourous dress code. we respectfully request all guests adhere to our Smart Chic Dress Code. Tank tops, active… 

Is November a good time to sit outside in the terrace or Indoors is best?

Sure, Houston weather should be good at that time.

It seems as if the only time available for a party of 5 is at 8 a.m? Has anyone here ever booked 5 or more and what was the process to get a decent time booked and not 8 a.m?

Book as far in advance as possible or call to see if they can make arrangements. My friend's advice :) She called a few months back.… 

What is the dress theme they request?

They say dress up. But many are wearing shirts and jeans. Men with trucker hats. Basically they do not enforce nothing.

Do they do walk in, it's March and their booked till mid April 🤷🏽‍♀️?

I also noticed that sometimes reservations open the day before - presumably people canceling. If you're willing to go early (like 8am), you may be able to catch a last-minute spot. It's probably also a little easier on weekdays.

Is it kid's friendly?

There was one child there when I went, but I would not say this is an establishment for kids

Cruiser Coffee (Organic) - That's some bitter coffee. It's not sweet, but it has a residual candy-like taste that resembles something I can't quite recall. It's also strong--like it goes as hard as my Vietnamese coffee. My eyes started twitching about half a cup in. Love it. Fresh Orange Juice - OH YEAH. My orange juice connoisseur BFF gave it the thumbs-up of approval. We asked for a glass of ice, and it elevated the drink. Steak and Green Eggs (BFF) - Wow. Those green eggs--what's in them? What is in them? Delicious with buttered toast. The potatoes were perfectly crisp, and that steak? Seasoned so well, super fragrant, and moist. For a breakfast steak, it's great. Admittedly, it was lathered in butter. Annie's Low-Fat, High Protein Burrito - Not my favorite. It tasted a bit too healthy after that incredible steak, but as the flavor lingered, it grew on me. My favorite part was definitely the beans, which came through exceptionally clean. Lox Platter w. Everything Bagel - Exactly what the menu promised with high-quality ingredients. They were VERY generous with the capers, and I'm grateful for that. Refreshing, even with the two containers of cream cheese (I only used one). Their menu is so simple, but they've truly mastered what they serve. The service was very attentive, and our waiter was energetic and humorous. The atmosphere was pleasant and comforting--high-end without the snobby undertone. We'll definitely be back.

The Breakfast Klub is a classic southern American breakfast spot in the Midtown area of Houston…read more For a while now, my boyfriend has mentioned how much he loves The Breakfast Klub and he had only been once before! We were on a tight schedule during our time in Houston. We were able to get up early enough to get breakfast together at The Breakfast Klub. There is limited parking, but it is doable depending on what time you arrive. Luckily, we came right before opening and snagged a spot across the street from the restaurant. The line was already long, but it moved fairly quickly. Everyone has to order first at the cash register before they can be seated. We ordered two plates of the Wings & Waffle, which consists of a golden Belgian waffle surrounded by six wing pieces and topped with powdered sugar and one fresh strawberry. We also ordered a Honey Cake, which is a super buttery pancake and Karmel Makkhiato. The food came out a lot faster than I expected for how busy it is. It was definitely quite a large breakfast for the two of us. Neither of us were able to finish everything we ordered and had to take our leftovers to go. It was all delicious though. The waffle, wings, and hot cake. We were even given a sample of their grits to try! Personally, I am not the biggest fan of grits, but it was nice to finally try it! This is a great establishment with amazing staff that work here. Everyone seems to love their job and has amazing customer service skills.

It looked like a busy morning for them, but the service moved at a reasonable pace--neither exceptionally fast nor particularly slow. My BF and I tried the Montauk Mint Collection: Mint Coconut Cream Cold Brew. Unfortunately, it landed pretty squarely in the middle for both of us. The drink had a strange graininess, and it was sweeter than I'd prefer. My BF summed it up as, "too much mint, not enough coffee." I wouldn't say it was bad, but I also can't say it was particularly great. That being said, the cold brew itself was definitely doing its job. The coffee was pretty potent, and after a few sips, I could actually feel my heart rate pick up a bit. There was also more ice than I personally prefer, although the drink didn't taste diluted, so I can understand the icy contribution. Update: The coffee gave me a stomachache a short while later. Maybe it was the dairy since I'm mildly lactose intolerant, but I drink milk pretty regularly despite that, so I'm completely unsure what caused it. Maybe the caffeine was just too strong for me--either way, my stomach was not a fan. At $7 for such a small cup, I didn't feel like the experience justified the price. We wouldn't order this particular drink again. Overall, pretty mid-tier for us.

Parking can be challenging on weekends, but there is complimentary valet and a few extra spots in a lot across the street. There's interior and exterior seating, with cozy booths and tables. Service is friendly. Chips and salsa: Superica has some of my favorite chips, crispy and thin and perfectly fried. The avocado crema salsa and warm serrano pepper salsas are delicious with a mild kick. The bottled red salsa is fresh and green salsa packs a nice punch. Migas: Scrambled eggs with tortilla chips and cheese, choice of chicken versus chorizo on top, finished with fresh avocado. I really enjoyed this combination and the generous portion for the price. The eggs are well scrambled without being dry, and the pairing with cheese is proportional. The chicken was a touch dry, but some salsa solved that well. I enjoyed stuffing each component into a fresh tortilla and devouring it as a breakfast taco. Refried beans and rice: Really delicious. The refried beans are of the smoother variety without as much chunkiness, which I prefer, and topped with creamy cheese. I could have used a touch more tomato in the rice, but overall enjoyed the texture and flavor. Patatas with salsa roja, topped with egg: I enjoyed the flavors in this dish, but there was sooo much salsa. The potatoes were thus a little soggy, though still cooked well. The over medium egg was cooked nicely and complemented the potatoes with creamy yolk. Bacon: Really generous portion for $7 as a side, and cooked well. Crispy potatoes: I enjoy that these are fingerling potatoes smashed and roasted, but they could be crispier. They seem to be on the blander side on purpose to allow seasoning to taste, and I really like pairing them with the red bottled salsa provided at each table (probably due to their association with ketchup). Hotcakes: The literal star of every brunch, these hotcakes are consistently delicious. They're massive yet somehow cooked perfectly through so that they're fluffy and soft on the inside and just with a slight crunch on the outside. The pairing of the creamy warm (!!!) maple syrup is heavenly. Because of how huge these are, usually one is enough to share between two people, although they also come in stacks of two and three. For reference, we finished 3/4 of three between four healthy and hungry people and it wasn't for lack of trying. Whenever I crave weekend brunch, Superica is always a top option.
