Breakfast quiche here hit all the right notes. The quiche had a flaky crust, loaded with cherry…read moretomatoes and spinach -- good egg-to-filling ratio, not watery. Crispy roasted potatoes on the side were well-seasoned and the fruit cup was fresh. Ambience was great -busy for a Monday afternoon! but didn't feel commercial at all, more like a neighborhood mom-and-pop spot. Service was quick and friendly too Generous portions for the price. Would order again.

Let me preface this review by stating that I have been to this establishment multiple times & had…read moreglowing, amazing service each time. However, my last experience with this establishment left a horrible taste in my mouth. Therefore, I am giving them an extra star for the previous experiences. On May 17th, 2026, my best friend and I had been looking forward to coming to Water Oak all day and had our taste buds set for the occasion. We were famished and had quite a day up until arriving. Upon entering the restaurant, we were very briefly greeted by the a Hispanic man who I assume is the manager and told that they were "no longer seating for the day". I glanced around and saw that every table inside WAS seated, however there were many tables outside that were empty. I asked about the patio stating that us where we preferred to sit anyway, and was met with that they were also not seating the patio at all for the rest of the day. However, there was a group of 3 women seated outside on the patio at that exact time. I didn't say anything, simply turned and left. After having "one of those days" hashing out something so minute with a person who clearly didn't want us in their place of business was not something I was about to do. Keep in mind, we came on a Sunday afternoon. Prime brunch time. We arrived at the restaurant around 2:30PM, and their website says they don't close until 4PM. I am a biracial black woman and my friend is white. I noticed a significant amount of White and Latino patrons, but a shocking lack of Black people. With Houston having one of the most diverse populations in the US, it is almost impossible not to see at least one individual of each ethnicity in a place at any given time. I am definitely not one that likes to pull the race card, because oftentimes that is not the issue. However, as someone who is familiar with the service industry I understand Sundays can be extremely overwhelming. And I am cognizant that not everything is that serious. But, I am also aware that a lot of people in the industry discriminate against people of color, with stigmas that we don't leave enough gratuity or we "don't fit the vibe of their establishment". And those 3 women seated on the patio? All White. After reading recent reviews, it seems that management is discriminating against people of color, more specifically Black folks. This is an extremely disheartening and sickening realization to make, seeing as I have given well over $1,000 worth of my money here but also enjoyed many meals without issue. To management: It breaks my heart to have to write this review and to be honest, I wouldn't have written it if I hadn't seen others posting about similar experiences in addition to also feeling discriminated against. I highly suggest that if you are "not seating" after a specific time, you announce this via social media or alert potential patrons with a sign or something of the sort. & obviously, there is such an issue with treatment towards POC that it is a noteworthy problem via your Google & Yelp reviews. You will have a much bigger fish to fry on your hands if you continue to let this issue go on unrectified. I would be willing to return if I felt things were to be changed for the better in the future! Hopefully this review sparks a much needed conversation and brings attention to an area which needs work.

5 stars for coffee and service, 3.5 stars for bakery. This was my first visit to Cherry Moon…read more It's a cute little coffee shop, loved the pink and cream decor and the overall vibe. The staff was very friendly and went above and beyond explaining the drinks to me and how they tasted so I could make a good choice. I was stuck between a cookie butter latte and a coconut latte. While I don't usually love overly sweet drinks, I am a cookie butter latte lover. However, since I was getting some bakery items, I decided to go with the less sweet option, so I chose the coconut. It was delicious! The cold foam was so fluffy, almost like whipped cream. The addition of toasted coconut flakes made it the perfect drink. I got the cookie butter cheesecake, Earl Grey tiramisu, and the Matilda (chocolate cake). The Matilda cake was not good, neither my husband or I liked it, and I have never thrown out chocolate cake. It was very dry and had an odd taste (try the Matilda cake at Cactus Jack's! omg), which was very disappointing (and it wasn't cheap!). The Earl Grey tiramisu was much better; it had a nice flavor with a beautiful purple color. I loved the flavor of the cookie butter cheesecake; however I didn't taste any cheesecake flavor, and the texture wasn't cheesecake-like at all, it was more like a cookie butter pudding; but it was my favorite dessert of all and despite the misnomer, I did love it! I would definitely order the cookie butter "cheesecake" again, 5 stars for that for devine flavor! Overall I loved Cherry Moon's coffee and I look forward to going back and trying the cookie butter latte.

Cherry Moon is such an underrated cafe. Came here after a friend's recommendation and the coconut…read morematcha latte was perfect for the humid-hot weather. The little toasted coconut flakes are such a good addition to the drink too as they add an extra toasty flavor and umph to an otherwise already yummy drink. My friend liked the coconut matcha so much that she basically chugged it. They also offer a wide selection of pastries and baked goods, which all looked amazing. The decor of the cafe was also so cutesy and girly- perfect for catch ups with friends and possibly taking new pics for the socials! I also saw a couple people working/studying. Staff was really sweet and our matchas were ready so quickly but still tasted good. Cherry Moon also has a drive thru! If I lived on this side of town, I'd probably pass by the drive thru for the coconut matcha every morning..

I never knew a bakery like this existed in Friendswood. SmallCakes Cupcakery and Creamery is a cute…read morelittle bakery, but has so much to offer! The owner is very nice and it's clean inside. The interior reminded me of a little cafe in Europe. This location is comfortable for Christians. I could tell by the music they were playing. Every dessert is homemade and original. Their cupcake selection is astonishing. Besides their usual flavors, SmallCakes Cupcakery will have one different kind of cupcake featured daily. They also have ice cream, cupcake-in-a-jar, cookies, macarons, brownies, cookie sandwiches, cake-sicles, tea, coffee and 'pupcakes' (cupcakes for dogs)! If you just want cake, you'll have to order ahead of time because this place mainly focuses on small desserts. The custom cakes here though are a must. I was so impressed with their past cake designs. You don't have to be forced to pick a design from their catalogue, though. You can still order your own designed cake. SmallCakes Cupcakery and Creamery customize cupcakes and cookies too. Downsides: I will agree with past reviews, that this SmallCakes Cupcakery and Creamery location needs to correct their opening hours on their website AND storefront. When I was there, it said they were closed on Sunday. Yet, on their website and on Yelp, it doesn't state that. This is unacceptable. It's small inside with only three tables, so this place is not ideal for a large group of people. Prices can get high depending on how many sweets you order. I will say that customized cakes are expensive no matter where you order from. SmallCakes Cupcakery and Creamery is no different. They have a minimal selection of ice cream. SmallCakes Cupcakery and Creamery is located in a very busy plaza, so they're easy to miss. I should take my family here sometime. My nephew and niece will love SmallCakes Cupcakery and Creamery.
