    Catered lunch example
    Skylar K.

    The management is second to none and good is top notch. They cater for my business of around 150 every Saturday and they're always on time and on point. Everything is COVID-safe including individually packed meals and clear plastic lids. They've never failed to go above and beyond for the guest. Thanks again to Aristo and team for all you do!

    BLT with Waffle Fries
    Dat L.

    I work in an office at The Decorative Center. The Roots Cafe is located on the bottom floor, so it's very convenient for me to get food without driving somewhere. It's also very good and quite reasonably priced. Friendly service, too. You might think, "Oh, it's probably just good for a cafe that happens to be in walking distance of your workplace," but no--it's surprisingly very good. Period. I'm constantly impressed by the food they put out. I ordered their BLT w/ Waffle Fries just this past Thursday and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was delicious. It's not just me, either. Many of my coworkers enjoy the Roots Cafe and order from it regularly. Essentially, Roots is a nondescript cafe in the middle of big complex of fancy furniture stores, so you wouldn't expect it to be so delicious or pleasant, but I guess this is what you would call a "Hidden Gem."

    Migas plate with Arrachera Beef must try!!! Sooo good

    One of my favorite places to come to grab breakfast/ lunch. The food is soo good and staff is beyond friendly who always caters to any needs I may have.

    Blackened tilapia with cilantro rice and grilled vegetables (don't mind the takeout container)

    This restaurant came to our place of employment through Fooda and after seeing their main web page and the food they serve we went to order our food and have to say that it was no disappointment!! I ordered the blackened tilapia with cilantro rice and grilled veggies. The food was delicious!!! The buttery sauce for the fish just was an added bonus!!

    See all

    I work in the building, couldn't ask for better service or food. Menu has a variety of options so there is something for everyone to like.

    Spring Branch

    Authentic New York style bagels, cream cheese and pastries. Go! Try it!…read more It's locally owned. Bagel Bob himself was working! He came out and greeted us. Chatted with hubby and listened to how we came to learn about Bagel Bobs. Bagels are fresh. Delicious! I had the Lox sandwich on sesame bagel. It was warm, soft, the perfect blend of lox, cream cheese, red onion, capers, tomatoes. It's cut in half. Wrapped in parchment and wrapped again in a fancy red checkered parchment. Hubby had the steak cheese sandwich. If you love beef, get this!!! Everything bagel and sun dried tomato cream cheese - a generous portion of cream cheese! We also got a treat from Bob! A warm cinnamon bun and the cinnamon almond croissant (sorry i don't know if there is a name for it). Worth the drive from south of Houston. We will be back!!!

    Came at 3pm on a Saturday and all the bagels I wanted were gone. No everything, garlic, or onion :(…read moreI had to settle for plain. It was surprisingly sorta busy, even though they were close to closing. Service was fine, not great. It felt like all the workers were teenagers who didn't really care, if you know what I mean. SAUSAGE, EGG, & CHEESE: It was exactly what you'd expect, in a good way. The bagel was hot, soft, and satisfying to eat. The TURKEY SAUSAGE, EGG, & CHEESE tasted almost exactly the same. Hard to tell the difference. JALAPEÑO CHEESE BAGEL: Surprisingly loaded with jalapeños and spicier than expected. PLAIN BAGEL: My last option. Plain is plain is plain. Not much else to say about it. I overheard a worker say that he likes the egg bagels more than the plain, and I instantly regretted not getting the egg instead of plain. It isn't bad, it's just not anything special with no flavor. LOX SANDWICH: At first, I thought it was loaded with salmon and was impressed, only to realize that there were thick tomato slices blending into the salmon slices. I felt a little bamboozled while eating because I thought it was loaded with salmon, but it was really loaded with tomato. The ratio was definitely off, with more tomato than salmon. Very disappointing. I could taste the salmon, but it definitely wasn't worth the price. Also, the bagel was too hard. I don't think they heated it at all. Or if they did, it wasn't enough. You could probably request it get heated more when you order though. Also, extremely messy to eat. The salmon and tomatoes kept sliding out with every bite. All in all, not a terrible lox sandwich. It's decent if you're craving one and in the area, but I'm sure I can find a much more satisfying one somewhere else.

    I'm glad we have Ike's Love & Sandwiches all the from San Francisco in Houston and wouldn't mind…read morehaving more locations in town. This is the one and only location here and a great stop for all kinds of sandwiches. Their menu includes innovative offerings and iconic flavors, essentially the best of both worlds. If you're craving a classic or simple sandwich, you can get that. However, if you're looking for something special or out of this world, you can also get it. Ike's specializes in sandwiches with their Dutch Crunch bread and Dirty Sauce, both unique in its own way. Whether you're a meat lover, vegetarian, vegan, or on a gluten-free diet, their menu has it all. I personally am not a super fan of the Dutch Crunch bread since I find it a bit too harsh on the palate and somewhat dry, but love the Dirty Sauce (make it extra or on the side). I enjoy subbing the Dutch Crunch with either French or Sourdough. With over 300 unique sandwiches on the menu, there's a sandwich for everyone. My favorites have been the Menage A Trois (halal chicken, honey mustard, BBQ Sauce, real honey, pepper jack, swiss, cheddar), Ike's Reuben (pastrami, mack Sauce, purple slaw, gouda), Joker (all beef meatballs, fried zucchini, Ike's red pesto, ranch), and Grant Pinkerton, a Houston exclusive (Pinkerton Brisket, pastrami, BBQ aioli, provolone). All of my sandwiches have been stuffed and tasty, worth it! However, I find some menu items to be subpar in quality and flavor (chicken strips). The service is typically quick, efficient, and friendly. There are more than a handful of tables inside and some out on the patio. The shared parking lot can get very crowded as it is packed with lots of other businesses.

    Here's a polished Google review version that keeps it honest but ends strong:…read more Review: I've been an occasional customer since this place first opened. Honestly, in the beginning it was pretty rough, slow service, incorrect orders, and the sandwiches just weren't as good as what I was used to getting in California. That said, I kept coming back every now and then hoping things would improve, and I'm glad I did. My last few visits have been great. The sandwiches have been fresh and really tasty, and the customer service has been solid. I also spoke with Jose, and he mentioned he's been working hard to turn things around, and it definitely shows. Not sure why they don't have more locations yet, but I hope they expand soon!

Let us count the ways: * The vibe is relaxed. So relaxed as a matter of fact, I've yet to see this place crowded on any weekday or weekend. * The WiFi is fast and reliable. This alone is why I'll end up staying here without consuming at least 3 drinks in a single sitting. * There is plenty of seating. Outdoor seating is extensive and the interior is super group friendly. * Iced lattes skew on the sweeter side, but their cold brew also gets a thumbs up. * There is a dedicated meeting room / isolated space for meetings / meetups. That's big time. * Don't feel like stopping in? There's a drive-thru. * Customer service is on point. They're fast, courteous, and super friendly. * The ventilation is right and the place is clean. Especially the bathrooms. This is a winner in terms of a coffeeshop space. I realize the vibe isn't' for everyone, but it's one of the main reasons why I'll find myself in this space more often than not.

Just a tip, get there before 3pm cause i know they sell out of the pastries before then! The service is fast and they're always so nice and accommodating! They have a drive thru and they also have seating inside and also a private room. It's quiet and good for a study spot. This is a must to visit and I can't wait to keep going back! They have many different locations and I was unaware!
