    Cute place and the sandwich was so good especially with the focaccia bread. Drinks were decently good too but I would mainly come here for the sandwiches.

    Dipping the roll in the coffee

    Nice people. A good cinnamon roll. Dough.handling indicating good baking skills. Tasty glaze topping. Complimented the coffee well. (I had to dip lol) Coffee by a Los Angeles roaster named BOXX. But they also use Houston's own Geva. Banana crunch muffin also good though slightly more on the gummy side as to be expected with bananas. But an excellent and intense banana flavor for the win. Sourdough loaf priced at $12.50 (might give it a try one day)

    Mostly milk latte

    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.

    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!

    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

    Fast service, fresh food, cute cafe ambiance and morning lattes and teas! We quickly stopped by for breakfast and it took about 7 minutes from order. Focaccia bread sandwiches are so soft and decadent! I feel like I am in a cafe in Italy lol so Memorial is a perfect spot for this!

    Strawberry matcha, iced latte with almond milk and mint lemonade. Desserts are chocolate cookie and crunchy top banana muffin
    Saba Y.

    Tried this cute and quaint cafe in memorial. Great ambiance and the workers are very friendly. For the drinks, the iced almond milk latte was good, the mint lemonade tasted a little artificial and too sweet, and the matcha latte wasn't the best. However, the desserts were great. I would love to come back and try their food next time!

    Great local spot! We came in on a Sunday and it was very relaxing. The cinnamon rolls are made fresh daily, and one of the best I've ever had.

    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.

    I had ordered the prosciutto sandwich, and it was very good, yet would be nice if they cut it in half.

    Too much money, too little meat. No value. 17$ for 2oz of meat is a joke not a sandwich.

This place was only 0.4 miles away and has great reviews so we headed over. Oh my gosh, I'm glad we chose this spot. That was the best sandwich I've had in a long time! I ordered the first thing on the menu because it looked good, and I'm glad I did. They call it a "Chicken Run." It's made with ciabatta, grilled chicken breast, pepper jack cheese, tomatoes, pickles, lettuce, and "garlic sauce" (which, to me, was a garlic aioli). I enjoyed it more than I would have enjoyed getting a hamburger somewhere else. The ciabatta was perfect! Far better than any hamburger bun. The pepperjack cheese was spicier and meltier than most and seemed to be high quality. And the flavors all melded together perfectly. A very nice lady made our sandwiches, wrapped them and bagged them. She was friendly and helpful. The place was cute. And they had board games to play with :-) My wife had the Empire Club and said she enjoyed it. They also had a reuben that looked really tempting and a chicken pesto sandwich on a baguette that caught my eye. But I'm still glad I got the Chicken Run!

However, it's well worth the stop by. The food is simply wonderful. I had butternut squash soup, which was marvelous really marvelous as if it were homemade. I also had a Desi pizza which was quite good. Shock full of ingredients all of which were well seasoned and the sauce that was absolutely wonderful. It's really a much larger place than it appears when you first approach it there's plenty of room for seating and it's very well capped. The ambience is very simple but tasteful. It's a must visit if you're in the area of parked 10 on the west side of town. Let me just say this at last there were two people who were there during the lunch hour, and they were inordinately, efficient and friendly. It's a wonderful experience.

When I did the search this place came up and even though there was no Yelp activity (reviews, tips or check ins) and after checking their online menu, we decided to give it a try. Now we have a small deli in our building, this is no means an even comparison. We have a small variety of items that we can order and they only take cash. Who does that in the 21st century? Skyline is a little hard to find because there are no signs and it is located in the Worley Parsons building. Once we walked in we just followed the people that were streaming in and out of the deli. First of all, they have a very extensive menu. It includes: Paninis, wraps, daily specials and combos, build your own salads, pasta and sandwiches, breakfast, tacos, smoothies, beverages and desserts. They also do catering! I can eat here every day and not have the same thing! My friend ordered the chicken and dumplings special of the day with green beans and he enjoyed it thoroughly. I had a ham and cheese panini with a cup of chicken noodle soup. The soup was hot and had very good flavor.and the panini was prepared perfectly for me. They have a beverage section with fountain drinks and 2 types of tea with free refills which I took advantage of. Lastly they take all types of payments and there is an ATM if you need cash. They even have a rewards program that I will check out.
