The House
Jonisha T.

Grabbed a sweet waffle on a Tuesday night just because. The house waffle is their best seller and for good reason! They had me sold at cookie butter. I loved how decadent the waffle was and it was completed nicely with whipped cream, strawberries, cookie butter and chocolate. All the flavors blended seamlessly. Service was friendly and fast! We sat at the counter to enjoy our waffle while the Christmas tunes played in the background. 10/10. Will return to try other flavors. I'm interested to taste the savory waffles as well.

What a gem! Nestled inside a building it was hard to find using gps, but luckily someone was able to give us directions. Free street parking on the weekends. Or if you you have a handicap placard parking is free but only within the specified time of the meter. Walked in and found a food court with several stands, was a delightful surprise. We went to press waffle, they had a huge selection of savory and sweet waffles. I ordered the house which was a waffle with Nutella, caramel, strawberries and whipped cream, was delish and the waffle was not soggy at all. My bf ordered the Elvis which had bananas, bacon and peanut butter which was also delish. This food stand was also a Starbucks so we ordered espresso and a caramel machiato. All in all everything was so good, including the service. I definitely recommend trying this place especially if you're hankering for a waffle.

The Breakfast Bomb and The Elvis
Brisa M.

It did take a while to get our food but they only had one employee so it was understandable. The food was delicious though and worth the wait. The Elvis was a sweet tooth delight and the breakfast bomb was great for savory lovers. The cheesy eggs are so delicious but I will say it's a bit waffle heavy. I would come back, it's a nice breakfast place.

Chicken & Waffles
Austin N.

I would describe Press Waffle as "okay." For $12 chicken & waffles you get what you pay for. It's quick, affordable, and does the job. I'm not sure how freshly the dishes are made, but mine came out warm and the texture of the food didn't taste too fresh. The waffles were very thick and tough, and had a brioche bread-like texture. They were hard but very filling. The chicken was 3 strips. The flavor was good, but the exterior texture was hard-not crispy, but rough. The overall presentation of the plate is good, but I was a little disappointed when I ate it. This place will satisfy your craving for chicken and waffles, but I'd seek other places for quality taste.

Blueberry and lemon curd waffle
Michelle S.

Yes - the food tastes as amazing as it looks. Highly recommend. It's in a little stop food joint - so service is nil, but food is great.

Delicious! Hubs and I stopped by to give it a whirl and love it! I got the House, he got the Chicken & Waffle -- both were tasty! Service was fast and friendly. I definitely see why people love Press nestled inside this food hall. Absolutely worth a repeat visit. Cheers!

New Rocky Road waffle
Hayley F.

Located inside Lyric Market at Downtown, Press Waffle is easy to find and has lotsa customers. There are some bar stools right in front of the kiosk but plenty of seats in the market place. They offer milkshakes, coffees from Starbucks, and of course waffles. Naturally I came here for the waffles only. There are either sweet or savory waffles. It took quite some time for the staff to take my order. They were rushing at least 6 tickets out before they had the time to take more orders. It took quite some time for my food to be ready too. The kitchen looked chaotic, and one of the staff looked overwhelmed. There seemed to be no order in the kitchen. I had the New Rocky Road waffle, and a DIY waffle with strawberries and a scoop of ice cream. The Rocky Road waffle was DELICIOUS. The waffle was warm, crunchy, sweet (but not overly sweet), and had a candied taste. There were mini marshmallows in between the ice cream and the waffle, and also plenty scattered all over the tray. The highlight of the dish is definitely the waffle. The DIY waffle with strawberries and ice cream was scrumptious too! Of course the highlight of the dish was the waffle. If you have the patience to wait for the staff to take your order (about 10mins wait), and you have the extra time and patience to wait for your food or drink (about 15mins wait), this place is for you.

I am not a big fan of sweet and savory together, but my daughter told me this place was amazing, so I gave it a try. I'm gonna start saying that is at the Lyric Market Food Court, right in the heart of Houston Downtown. The girl taking the orders is sweet and funny. The menu is not huge but not small either, they have the right amount of items for you to find something you'd like. They have savory waffles and sweet waffles. I ordered The Cristo, a delicious combination of turkey, ham, white cheese and blackberry jam, and OMG this was so good!!! My daughter ordered the American, with bacon crumbles, maple syrup and an egg on top, delicious!!! They also have coffee Definitely coming back soon! Note, the only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 is because they only had one person cooking so the orders took long time to be ready.

Apple pie waffle
Chrissy P.

The waffle were really good! I only wish they were a little softer! But honestly other than that I would definitely be back to try the other waffles on the menu! This was the ultimate sugar rush!

Location: inside lyric market corner spot Staff: very nice and friendly, seems like English is second language, please be patient. Price: average Parking: street or garage ( I went on a Sunday and they will give you a receipt with a scan part for the first 2 hrs to be free) Seating: indoor and outdoor Drinks: bottle drinks available as well as Starbucks Food: I went for a plain waffle and the home waffle. Everything was very well display. However the waffle itself was a bit too hard for me as if it was previously frozen.

It should be a crime to taste so good. The waffle reminded me of the waffles I had in Belgium. Crunchy but soft and sweet inside. The cookie butter was just the correct sweetness. The best dessert ever. I'm going to go with it's super healthy because it was loaded with strawberries. Loved finding them in the Lyric Market.

Chicken tender with a disposable for for reference.

Meh. It's alright. An ok pick if you work in the area but nothing I would travel more than a couple blocks for. Only actual complaint was the cost of extra tenders. They priced me 2.25 per tender for the world's most average tender.

We had the cinnamon roll and the all American and it will be wonderful. Highly recommended great staff.

Is there plenty of table seating? I'm looking for a place to hang out in between my bus commute & my PM Jury Summons...Would this be a good location for that?

Hello Amber! We are located inside Lyric Market so we do have lots of space to hang out and have some coffee and waffles while you wait for your bus commute! Hope to have you…

Day 6 Coffee Co. - Houston, TX…read more Great coffee, good company, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile! After a busy weekend in Houston, we were in desperate need of some GOOD coffee, and Day 6 Coffee Co. absolutely delivered! Between the much-needed espresso, delicious chai tea, and refreshing frappé, we each found something to enjoy! And of course, we couldn't resist a little something to eat. The warm, flaky pastry was a delicious addition! Now, let's talk about the atmosphere! Exposed brick walls, cozy seating, beautiful décor, and a relaxed, welcoming vibe make this place so much more than your average coffee shop. It's the kind of spot where you can sit back, enjoy a conversation, and forget about the hustle and bustle outside. The staff was wonderful, the space was comfortable and tastefully decorated, and the entire experience was just what we needed! BONUS: Parking was FREE on Sunday! And anyone who has spent time in downtown Houston knows what a treat that is! Whether you're meeting friends, enjoying a little family time, or simply needing your caffeine fix, Day 6 Coffee Co. is definitely worth stopping by! Five stars from this Texas girl! We'll be back!

I really wanted to give this place 5 out of 5 stars, but here's my honest experience…read more The service was excellent, everyone was friendly and welcoming, so that's an easy 5/5. I also tried one of their muffins, and it was absolutely delicious. Another 5/5! The only thing that disappointed me was the coffee. I asked the barista for a recommendation and specifically mentioned that I wanted a coffee that wasn't too sweet. She recommended a drink, and I trusted her suggestion. Unfortunately, when I tried it, it was much sweeter than I was expecting. I understand recommendations are subjective, so I don't blame anyone,it just wasn't what I was looking for. Because of that, I'd give the coffee 1/5. It simply wasn't to my taste. Overall, the great service and delicious muffin were definite highlights, but the coffee experience brought my overall rating down to 3/5.

Unfortunately, I left incredibly disappointed!!! While sitting inside, I saw a man who appeared to be experiencing homelessness politely ask a customer outside if they would buy him something to eat because he was hungry. The customer said no, and the man walked away. I didn't witness any harassment or confrontation. I decided to offer to buy him something myself. He said yes, so I went inside and ordered him a croissant and water. The employee at the register initially told me they weren't supposed to sell food if it was being purchased for someone experiencing homelessness. After I explained that I had already offered, she agreed to process the purchase "this time." After I gave him the food, the owner Frédérick Fortin approached me. He told me that this man had been coming around for several days and was "harassing customers" by asking them for food. He explained that it was frustrating from a business perspective because customers come and go and when they do this he is left to deal with the situation!!!! I told him I understood his concern, but what I personally witnessed was someone politely asking one person for food, being told no, and walking away. I made my own choice to help him. What I found most upsetting was being made to feel that I had done something wrong by purchasing something with my own money and choosing to give it to someone else. Once I purchase something, I should be able to decide what I do with it! I also explained that I had come to this shop because it was highly recommended to me. When I expressed my disappointment, the owner's response was essentially that if I didn't like his business, I didn't have to be there. So I left!!! I believe businesses can have boundaries while still treating people with empathy, respect, and kindness. Those are values I personally choose to support, and a business that doesn't reflect them is a business I'm not interested in supporting! Deff not coming back!!!

I love that Tout Suite makes several tasty vegan baked goods along with their full selection of regular treats which can be hard to find in Houston (their vegan brookie - brownie/cookie - is my favorite). Outside of baked goods, Tout Suite has a large selection of breakfast items, soups, sandwiches, bowls, and appetizers with several gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options. This location has a fairly spacious interior to sit and work or enjoy a bite to eat and is just a block off of the MetroRail red line (Bell Station stop). They also have rotating daily specials and half off of cocktails every day after 5pm for happy hour ($4 espresso martini, yes please!) Ok, sounds great, right? Since I used to frequent their EaDo location quite a bit, I have several gift cards that I have collected over the years. These were purchased online on their website however when I tried to use them at this location, they said that I could not. They have three locations under their brand - Tout Suite (the former EaDo and Trebly) and Sweet, however apparently each has a separate payment system from Square to Toast, etc and they do not overlap. The gentleman behind the counter did offer to make me a complementary beverage for the inconvenience but this was definitely disappointing. I recall specifically that there was not an option to select the location when purchasing the gift cards online.

A couple of friends and I wandered in early on a Sunday for breakfast/brunch. I ordered the scrambled‑egg and turkey‑bacon tacos with a flat white, one friend had the chilaquiles (he thought they could've used a bit more flavor and some avocado), and my other friend went for the French toast with an iced coffee. We had a great conversation over a delicious meal and solid coffee, and the steady stream of adorable dogs around us was the perfect bonus. I'd read some reviews complaining about the service, but ours was totally fine--especially for an early Sunday morning. It probably helps to be patient if they're short‑staffed, but we had no issues at all.

Koffeteria is an absolute hidden gem located in EaDo. I just found out about it from Instagram and…read morewas shocked that I've never heard about it prior, despite it being here for years! Anyway, I finally got a chance to stop by on a Sunday late morning recently. Parking can be difficult, but there are dedicated Koffeteria spots in front of the business as well as surrounding paid curbside parking. I believe Instagram helped many others discover this business recently, as it was pretty packed and there was a line, but this gave us ample opportunity to peruse the menu and pastry display. Ultimately, we opted for the: Cambodian iced coffee (kayfe dahkoh) made with sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk - tasted very similar but weaker than Vietnamese coffee. As I'm Viet and have never had Cambodian coffee, this was my only frame of reference, and I didn't love it. I'm excited to try more Cambodian coffees to get a better understanding of their unique flavor profile! Black sesame mochi - sweet and perfectly sesame flavored with salted yolk at the bottom, delicious, my partner's favorite pastry Beef pho kolache - the bun was so soft and complemented the soft but flavorful brisket meat. wow. truly a brisket pho in a kolache. We got extremely lucky and got a table almost immediately after ordering, as someone left just in time. The interior is full of vintage furniture, which added so much character. As a vintage lover, I felt so at home! I could see how others might prefer a more neat, chic interior, but to me this was absolutely perfect and added so much warmth, homeliness, and character to the shop. Absolutely love this coffee shop and will 100% be back to try more pastries and coffees. Immediately, this has become a new Houston favorite!

I was looking at their large display case for so long that they asked me if I needed help deciding! But that was a great offer because I did need help. I asked for an item that I can eat now, an item that I can snack on later, and a sweet treat. They recommended the guava cheese danish for now, cause it won't travel well. They recommended the Earl Gray Sweet Bun for later. And then they recommended the double chocolate chip cookie. Everything was fantastic. The guava danish was absolutely delightful. The Earl Gray bun was also great when I had it later in the day.
