Great spot for a sweet treat or catching up with a friend over coffee. They have a private room that can be rented for events or is used as open seating indoors when not reserved. Outdoor seating is great when the weather cooperates! Dedicated lot helps too. read more

We have had several visits to this location. The cookies are so great. We have ordered the cake slices too. They are always fresh and delicious. The seating area is a little small, but it's comfortable. read more

Stopped by to pick up holiday treats for a client - highly recommend! The front counter person was very helpful and friendly. Plenty of choices - pastries, cookies, brownies, mini cheesecakes and several GFV choices. Cute little place - perfect for sitting and catching up over coffee and pastries. Parking is tricky - super small lot with very narrow spaces - there is some street parking...typical Heights parking. read more

Was in the area looking for a dessert place and found this one highly recommend online. I was excited to see gluten free options and a lot of unique small cakes and baked goods. I got the tiramisu cheesecake for my husband and I got a gluten free spiced carrot cake muffin. The staff was not the most friendly but the baked goods were so good that I will be returning to check out more of the menu. They did seem to have a good amount of seating and it was quiet when I went so this would be a great place for a date or quiet place to study. read more

I got mixed up with shop across the street and came in asking for loaves of bread... this is not the spot for that (unless it's the holidays -the staff said they sometimes offer loaves around then) I'm glad I got mixed up because it gave me an excuse for a sweet treat. Small coffee pastry stop vibe. I got a pan du chocolate and a banana pudding. Both worth getting again. read more

I ordered a chocolate chip cookie, and it had too much coarse salt on clustered in one location. I get what they were going for: a pinch of salt on top to balance the sweet, like a Starbucks sea salt caramel drink. However, this was way more than a pinch of salt. It takes over the whole flavor profile of the cookie so I can only taste chocolate and salt. Apparently, this place also serves tea. I didn't know that they served several types of tea until I was just about to finish my order (I had already ordered a coffee at this point). The overhead menu on display doesn't show this. I would like to see a menu maybe near the bar section that showed all the teas they offer as that would've changed my order. The vibes in this place are pretty chill though. read more

Red Dessert Dive - Lemon berry cupcakes, red velvet brownie and chocolate cupcake - Desserts Near Me - Houston, Texas

This was my first time at this location on 34th street. I did not preorder but wanted to just see what they had for my husbands birthday. I wanted a simple, small cake, even a cupcake to celebrate the day. The place is so cute with lots of little seating areas and a nice area outside. The cakes available were cute , I decided on the lemon blueberry. The other choice was confetti. What a great choice, the cake was small but huge at the same time. It serves 8 but 8 TALL slices. It was cold and so delicious once heated for a few seconds. They had muffins, cupcakes and cookies. The ladies were nice and offered to write a message - 3 lines only so I went with the basic Happy birthday. read more

One of our new favorite spots in Houston for coffee and pastries! Vibe: Cool cafe with a modern farmhouse vibe. Lots of natural wood throughout and some vintage cabinets give this place a warm and cozy charm. Outside wall has some cool art. Good amount of space and seating inside. Service: Baristas were very kind and helpful, gave us some great recommendations. They knew their coffee too. Food: We ordered a matcha latte, drip coffee, and red velvet oreo bar. The matcha latte was creamy and earthy, just the right amount of sweetness. Tasted like quality matcha powder as we could taste the extra depth and umami. Drip coffee was good, it was a dark roast Ethiopian coffee. Notes of plum, nuts, and dark chocolate. The red velvet oreo bar was outstanding and worth the visit alone. Moist, dense, and full of white chocolate chips and bits of oreo. There's also flecks of salt throughout which really gave the dessert some punches of flavor! Cannot recommend it enough. Red Dessert Dive is definitely Let's Eat Houston approved. read more

Their cream cheese kolache with chives was amazing! It was unlike anything I've had before - definitely need to get it warmed up. Their iced vanilla latte was good as well - it has a natural vanilla sweetness that's not too overpowering. It's in a cute little spot and the vibes were great on a Saturday morning. read more

Cute little bakery in the heights. We came late...around 730 pm and they still had a decent selection. We got the last two banana puddings...the counter girl encouraged us to get the last one when we ordered one serving. Twist our arms. My husband ate the pudding and said it was excellent albeit a smaller portion size for the price. Lots of bananas and super creamy. I got the chocolate chip cookie with sea salt. The edges were crunchy and the center was soft with lots of chocolate chunks. The touch of salt on top brought it all together. I also got chocolate chip bread pudding to eat later at home. What an enjoyable bakery for a late night dessert. read more

I'm such a fan of Red! It was dangerously close to my daughter's previous daycare, and I frequently would stop in on my way to work for a coffee and pastry. I've also ordered cakes for a party, and they turned out so well! if you have the luxury of an afternoon off, think about going with some friends and treating yourself to their high tea. read more

Ordered 6" birthday cake for hubby after enjoying cake ordered by family members. Hubby loved it!

It's a really nice and quaint coffee shop, and the staff is really friendly! My friend and I ordered a few of their pastries and coffee. I highly recommend getting their banana pudding. It was really well balanced with a ton of bananas, cream, and wafers! I also love thumbprint cookies, and I thought that theirs were pretty good as well. I don't recommend getting their coffee with almond milk because mine tasted really watery, but my friend's vanilla bean latte with whole milk was okay. I don't think this is a great place for coffee, but their pastries are good and there's a ton of variety to choose from. The barista was really nice and made sure we got the correct drinks with the correct milk replacements. read more

Stopped by this cute lil bakery after bbq since we couldn't get banana pudding at pinkertons bc they sold out. So glad we got to visit, as I had never heard of this dessert shop before. They had a lot to offer from their cakes, cookies, banana pudding, brownies to their sandwiches, coffees, and teas. We got a banana pudding and a strawberry blondie for around $11 in total. The banana pudding was creamy, light, and had just the right amount of sweetness to it with the perfect blend of flavors between the banana and vanilla. I also saw vanilla beans throughout the scoops! The strawberry blondie was amazing!!! It was super moist, and not one bit of it was dry. They had white chocolate chips and dried strawberries dispersed in the blondie. The addition of the strawberries really enhanced it. The blondie itself was buttery, lightly salty & lightly sweet. The cream cheese frosting paired well as a whole with the blondie but can be a little overwhelming. The employee up front was super warm and welcoming! The vibes inside were chill and cozy- it'd be an ideal place to chat with friends. The parking lot is SMALL, but I'm sure there are other alternatives to parking in the area. Highly recommend this place!! read more

The banana pudding here is so good! Not too sweet and the wafers are still crisp. The bread pudding was a little too sweet for my taste, but was still yummy. There's minimal parking, but you can always street park. read more

We love this bakery. It has something for everyone. Their frosted brownie tastes like the real version of a cosmic brownie and never last long in our house. Every cake I've had before there is great as well. The cookies have been okay to great, but always solid. The inside is slightly small but I have never seen it super busy in there. The staff are always friendly as well! Highly recommend! It's also open slightly late so we love stopping by for dessert after a date night. read more

I asked for a cappuccino and they gave me the tiniest cup. It was half the size of the cups showing in their pictures. My friend ordered a macchiato and they gave me cup was the same size as a shot glass! I should have said something but was not trying to cause a scene. But now that I'm seeing the regular sized cups in the pictures, I'm upset at the tiny cups we were served in. read more

Great place!! Amazing pastries and great vibe to hang out in. So lucky to have it in the neighborhood.

Cute little bakery/coffee shop. Plenty of space to sit and catch up on work. Went with their chocolate cakes with peanut butter. The cake slice was huge! If you like peanut butter, definitely give them a try. I did find the cake to be a little dry but I'll definitely be going back to them to try other items. read more

Strawberry and turtle cheesecakes are pretty good ! The food is quite expensive though, and I may not be back because of it

Found this place on yelp while looking for a place to order a gender reveal cake from. They have an online form you can fill so I was able to fill everything out and request what I wanted in about 2 minutes without even having to pick up the phone!! (MAJOR PLUS FOR ME). After they received my inquiry, Red Dessert Dive replied quickly, making sure I got what everything I wanted in the cake. I had never been there before but when I went to pick up the cake, the place was tiny and cute and smelled SOOOO GOOD! They had so many sweets it was hard to resist getting one of everything LOL. In addition, the staff here was super friendly and my cake was ready right when they said it would be ready. The cake was beautiful and most importantly it was DELICIOUS. My friend had requested a marble cake with cream cheese frosting and they delivered just that in the most delicious way. Thank you for helping me make this day so special for these newly weds and new parents to be! read more

I was disappointed. The lemon blackberry cake was quite dry. It was a very generous slice so I cut it in half to save for the next day after which it was so dried out I tossed it. The flavor combination was fine but overall not a great cake. read more

I went in there to get a 1/2 a dozen cupcakes and ended up getting a few treats for myself which included the banana pudding and the salted chocolate chunk cookie. Thankfully I stopped in even with the bad reviews about customer service. Gratefully I had great customer service and the person behind the counter recommended me a few of the treats that I ended up really enjoying. They are a cashless establishment and they won't let you buy more than 6 of 1 item even though I was planning on giving the half dozen as a gift for somebody else, they would not let me get a cupcake for me to enjoy but I still give them 5 stars because I really did enjoy both of the things that I got. read more

It's average at best. Not bad but the pastries lean more sugary than balanced on buttery. Wouldn't go back again, but wasn't bad. Just okay

Cakes: 10/10. The lemon blueberry is a dream come true. The confetti cake is delicious as well. My boyfriend bought both out of the case for my birthday and they even decorated it to say "Happy Birthday!" Other treats: I've gotten a couple different treats from the display case and they are tasty as well but I'd almost always opt for a slice of their cake first. Lattes: Good, but not divine. The flavors look cute and fun so I was excited but they weren't the best. I haven't had just coffee from them yet so there is still hope! Parking: There's usually room around on the street. Service: Quick, normal coffee shop service. It's a super cute place! I don't know that I'd sit there with a friend and catch up as it is very quiet but good for popping in and out! read more

The display area was well-lit and extremely clean no smears on the glass, no flies around. I bought a mini cheesecake and it was creamy with a smooth base and slightly tangy finish. It tasted freshly made, not like something from a fridge for days. Staff wore full protective gear while handling the cakes. That's the kind of place I'd confidently recommend to friends. read more

Lovely little dessert spot on Studewood/11th. There's a very small parking lot that's adjacent; it's terribly designed so it's a pain to get in or out. Another option is street parking near a ditch near you. Interior has ample seating and their menu composed of coffee options, bakery/dessert options, and I think some food options as well. Got an iced latte with oat milk and a berry bar; both are pretty decent! read more

Me and wife were out on a Sunday in down town Houston when we decided to try a local dessert spot and that how we came across Red dessert dive! Upon entering the cafe had a very nice and cozy atmosphere staff was extremely kind and greeted us as we walked in. There we so many desserts to choose from. We decided on their banana pudding and a turtle cheesecake and staff was even kind enough to give us a free cookie. The turtle cheesecake was so sweet and creamy and the crusting at the bottom broke perfectly with each time my spoon collided with it the crust complemented the cheesecake extremely well. Now for the banana pudding which was my favorite it was so creamy and the sweetness was so good it wasn't overpowering and it was extremely rich and almost we tasted like ice cream. I was extremely satisfied with are choice and finally the chocolate chip cookie which has a touch of sea salt the cookie was so sweet and the chocolate and sea salt meshed together so well. The cookie was truly perfect and everything a cookie should be and more. We were extremely happy with our visit to Red dessert dive and we can't wait to dive back in :) read more
