Strawberry Cream

Yesterday, I bought a variety of muffins from Rao's bakery, Port Arthur. I ordered banana nut, pecan cream, and strawberry cream. They are Fantastic, and Very Moist. Rao's puts Starbucks to SHAME! Rao's quality is 2nd to Nobody, and the muffins are HUGE!! The atmosphere there is casual/relaxed. They also have a drive thru. It's also a great place just to go for a cup of coffee, and read a book.

Been here a few times as recommended by colleagues. Delicious treats for sure. Pricey but yummy. Not sure I would come as a regular if I lived here but definitely worth the stop. Tried the Red Velvet and Chocolate Creme Pie. Both super good but just the price is what would keep me away. You could really buy a whole cake or pie for not much more.

Visiting Mid County this month, I needed to get some work accomplished and returned to a favorite place, Rao's Bakery & Coffee Cafe. I have been a Rao's lover my whole life, and I really like this Nederland location. It has the same Italian nostalgia vibe as the Beaumont locations, and the quality of ingredients are the same. I first enjoyed a tasty vanilla latte. I did wish for a bit bolder espresso flavor in the coffee itself, or perhaps a little less vanilla syrup because it tasted a bit too sugary. I also think it would be great for the in-house lattes or coffees to have washable cups rather than to-go cups. They may have these, but I was not offered one even when I said I wanted it for "here." When I visited, the wifi was down, but I called in advance to ask about wifi, and they told me it was out. That was fine for my needs because it allowed me to get work accomplished and get myself OFF social media for a few hours. But sometimes having wifi is a make-or-break for me, so it would be good if they repaired it. Also, you truly cannot go wrong with anything from the bakery. I had my favorite iced sugar cookie, and it was amazing as always. I love their Italian cream cake, red velvet cake, and of course, the king's cake. They also have a great gelato display if you are wanting something cool. The other thing I loved about my recent visit was the eclectic mix of people Rao's invites. Some people were clearly on a first date, others were with their children, others with friends, others working or reading alone, etc. It has a great vibe and plenty of space to spread out. The staff did a great job of busing tables and keeping things clean.

By far, my all time favorite coffee shop I've ever been to. Tons of beautiful, mouth-watering, delicious dessert and beverage choices, huge menu, great atmosphere with beautiful artwork on the walls, quiet and peaceful. Great gift shop with something for everyone. Friendly and helpful staff. Large parking lot and convenient location.

Snickers Latte

My new go-to coffee spot!! I'm new to the area and Rao's was recommended by a friend. I went this morning and ordered a Snickers Latte and a Bacon, egg and cheese croissant. The Latte was delicious!! There was some egg shell fragments in my Croissant but they apologized and immediately replaced with a spectacular cream cheese pecan muffin. The croissant was equally as delicious and tbh I'm not even mad about the egg shells bc that means it's fresh, from scratch and made to order. They made it right and wouldn't let me pay for my muffin. Wtg Rao's you have my business now Do yourself a favor. Skip the Starbucks line and go here!!

Amazing dessert selection! I'd recommend the chocolate covered strawberries or any of the mini cakes they have.

Service is always outstanding. The cappuccino is one of the best in Southeast Texas, and I'm addicted to their blueberry muffins.

$6.61 for a cappuccino with an extra shot is insane... Those are California prices. Service was quick though.

Golden Croissant - Cookies

Golden Croissant is a small mom and pop shop located in Nederland,Texas. They are owned by a…read moreVietnamese family and offer a variety of croissants, sandwiches, cookies, and drinks. The inside has been renovated pretty recently, and it is a small and quaint shop. The staff is always nice, and everything is priced at an affordable level. I usually come here for lunch. When you order a sandwich, you also get chips, as well. I also like to try their soup of the days, and my favorite is the cream of broccoli. Their cookies are my favorite thing they have to offer. I believe it is their specialty. They are really consistent, made fresh, and soft in the inside. I have tried almost every single flavor and each one has been good. I have also tried their cà phê sữa đá (Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk) a few times, and personally it is not my favorite. It is very dark even with the condensed milk, and I feel like there is something missing. I have had better cà phê sữa đá and prefer the ones my aunt makes at home more. Overall, Golden Croissant is a cute place to grab a small lunch. I think it is one of my favorite places in this small town and has a lot to offer for a good price. I definitely recommmed getting a sprinkle cookie or two when coming here!

It's a clever pun which took me a while to get (Golden Crescent), so well done to them for…read morebasically out-me-ing me. I prefer my croissants to be a light brown colour rather than golden, but I'll give them a free pass. Excellent bakery to which I was going to give 4 stars for their delicious goods, croissants especially, which are some of the better ones I've had in the United States. But when you consider that it's in a little town and not at all where you would expect to find a good Bakery, it's remarkable, and I have no choice but to award five stars.
