I stopped by because it's local and serve faccocia bread(which I love). Been here 3 times I don't really like it. It's such a bland sandwich very little meat and a little over priced. Service is good, food is made to order and staff is nice . Inside is clean well lit they have seating. read more

Lovely family-owned cafe with the sweetest staff! I walked in during peak lunchtime on Saturday and they were quite busy, but still managed to provide great customer service. Everything is homemade, which makes it taste even better. The focaccia sandwiches were my favorites! The Mama's Special comes with a delicious egg filling inside focaccia bread. The Italian Dream and Prosciutto were also really good with the pesto filling. They also have amazing dessert and drinks, most notable was the Melonade which is a seasonal drink with watermelon and lemonade. This was the perfect treat for a hot summer day. Looking forward to coming back again soon! read more

5 stars for service, huge selection, fresh product and clean brightly lit place. Lack of flavor though brought it down by 2 stars. We got 2 things, lemon blueberry muffin and the Carrot cake. Lemon blueberry was good, subtle lemon flavor throughout. Not as strong as I've had at other places. Plentiful in blueberries though, and the sugar topping was nice. Unfortunately the Carrot cake lacked any and all flavor. Super plain cake, only thing that had any flavor was the icing. Both things looked super delicious in the case but were unfortunately a letdown. We'll be back soon though, and try their foccacia sandwiches and other things in hopes I can update this review later on with a better rating read more

I really want to like this place, and I've been there three times now, but I have to say - the prices are just astronomical. A latte (they only have one size) and a small piece of cheesecake was $20 with tip. A sandwich, chips, and drink will run you $30. It's cute but not feasible for regular visits. I have had the turkey sandwich, and it was OK but nothing spectacular. I had a cookie that I didn't really care for and both times I ordered coffee, I regretted it. The lattes are mostly milk and you cannot taste coffee at all. The cheesecake is very good though and worth ordering but again expensive for the size. read more

I ordered the roasted chicken sandwich on focaccia with caramelized onions and mushrooms . What I received was fluffy, flavorless, cold, not toasted focaccia with inexpensive deli meat on it. It was not roasted chicken and it was ice cold. It's dishonest to advertise it is roasted chicken and it's inexpensive deli meat. There was a smattering of mushrooms and caramelized onion. When one orders roasted chicken with mushrooms and caramelized onion you expect a toasted sandwich with fresh roasted chicken. Not a tiny amount of deli meat. The sandwich made zero sense. It was 14.99 so I had expectations. It was flavorless as well. The amount of bread is ridiculously overwhelming compared to the tiny bit of deli meat. I had the basque cheesecake and it was very, very good. I like to support mom and pops and have lots of respect for them but this sandwich was inexcusable. read more

Decided to give this place a shot. I love sweets and it's in my area as well. They have other stuff besides sweets. They have sandwiches and even some breakfast options as they are open from 6am-4pm. It looks like a nice place to chill, drink some coffee or tea, and eat. I picked up two items: Blackberry Chocolate Chip Cookie and the Lemon Blueberry muffin. The cookie itself, just tasted dry. Maybe that's how it's made. It was better when dipped in my coffee. Overall, I just wasn't a fan. The Lemon Blueberry muffin wasn't bad. It had good flavor, but felt dry like the cookie. read more

My dad saw this place on Google and took my sister and I to go try this place. We arrived, and the place is super cute and was full with people. The ladies who work the business are super friendly, and you can tell that they work with care and hope that their customers and satisfied with the food they put out. I'll definitely stop by the next time I'm in the area. My sister and I got focaccia sandwiches. We ordered the Roast Beef Focaccia and the Prosciutto Focaccia. Personally, I thought the sandwiches would taste better toasted or warmed, but they were still tasty and nostalgic to eat even if they weren't. Even though they were both delicious, all three of us agreed that the Roast Beef Focaccia was the winner. The roasted beef pastrami was good, but the muhammara, a roasted red pepper dip/spread that they sell in jars, was the real star of the show. Unfortunately, I tried the sandwich in the car after we left, but I was debating whether to turn back around and go back to buy some of their jarred muhammara because it was THAT good. This place definitely has some of the best sandwiches I've had in a while. The dedication they have to make fresh bread every single day is plausible, and I wish this place was more popular because they truly deserve it. read more

An OK place for breakfast. My husband and I enjoyed our food, but it just simply wasn't enough food to fill our appetites. Also, coffee was included with our meals; however, the coffee came in large cups filled to the top. I wanted to add milk or cream, and after asking for it, they gave me one of those small peel-top containers. Ummm, sir... I need like 10 of those lol! I suggest they set up a station for those who'd like to add milk, sugar, etc to their coffee. read more

My husband and I have now been there several times, mostly for breakfast and once for lunch. The sandwiches are delicious! If you go for lunch, the serving size is large enough to split with someone. The cappuccino is great! They have a nice selection of pastries and we've tried the blueberry muffin and the ugly but good and both were very good. This is a family owned business and the food is made fresh. So, if you dine here don't expect fast food quick service. However, you will get high quality service from very pleasant people. The place itself is very relaxing. Nice soothing music and cute decor. Ever since I started making my own sourdough bread, I haven't purchased any because I now prefer my own. I did recently purchase a loaf of sourdough bread from this place and I can say that it rivals my own! I would buy another loaf next time I'm behind on feeding my starter. I would highly recommend this place! For those of you who frequently take your children to Mrs. Donuts, I'd recommend that you get your adult coffee and breakfast from here. read more

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.

As part of the Post Oak Hotel, you can access this place from both inside and outside entrance…read more This place is super cute and seems to have a fair amount of people who come here to work or place an order from an good assortment of pastries and gelato's. 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 absolutely love Eat Cake! I felt so happy just being in there, and the worker who served me was…read moreincredibly friendly and helpful. I tried a few different things, and everything was exceptional. The Strawberry N' Cream slice was light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet without being heavy. The Chocolate Chip cookie was massive and baked to perfection--crispy on the edges and soft in the middle. I also had a slice of flourless cake, which was incredibly rich, fudgy, and decadent. The quality is so high that I've already decided I definitely want my birthday cake from here! 5 stars all the way.

Y'all be hyping places up. Where to begin? I walked in and nobody was around. I walked around for a…read moregood 30 sec to a min and then finally someone showed up to greet me. I decided to go for small just to try it out first vs get a slice and pay $15 which in the end it didn't matter cus it came out to $12 for 2 items I got. The cupcake I got was cookies and cream but it just taste like reg store bought cake. You know the type that it's "chocolate" but there's not much choc flavor to it. The cream cheese frosting was like eating melted grease and added nothing to the rest of the cupcake. I ended up taking a bite and dumping the rest. I got one of their brownies but gave that to my husband so he could eat it at work. So can't really talk on that.

We grabbed a bunch of ube flavored pastries which is our favorite especially the ones with the cream cheese filled ones. Staff is fast and friendly. Lots of things to choose from.

Unique underrated bakery that you should be careful visiting. I wanted one thing - I got 8. I so…read morefar have only eaten the ube cookie and the almond croissant. The ube cookie was soft, a bit too sweet for my taste but it's a cookie so I don't know if that is a reasonable complain. I would say I would have liked a bit more ube flavor but ube is a hard favor to really make stand out. The almond croissant was perfect. The almond paste was just the right amount and the croissant flakey on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I'm both happy and sad I shared it. Coming here too often is dangerous for me but I love it and want to try the savory options next time.
