Come for the pastries! With Shakkar, we are talking options like a strawberry matcha croissant and cinnamon rolls. I got the biscoff cheesecake and it was smooth with a strong, forward biscoff flavor. Prices are on the higher end, so come with that expectation, but the pastry quality justifies it. I think the drinks are where things get shakier. My friend's latte took a while to come out and landed a bit bland (not bad, just unremarkable?). Will still be back!
On my continued bakery hunt, I finally tried Shakkar at POST. I happened to be there for a yoga event so it was nice to come down and get a quick bite. Its a small stand in the POST foodhall portion and service was friendly. You can see the various baked goods and you order what you want. They also have an assortment of drinks but I didn't try any. I ended up getting the rose pistachio croissant and was a bit disappointed. For a croissant that expensive, I was hoping it would stand out. It wasn't a super flakey croissant (perhaps I got it too late in the morning) and there wasn't much to make it "rose pistachio" outside of a smidge of cream they put at the top of the croissant (see pic for reference). Perhaps their other baked goods are better or worth the cost or done better but I would say so far, I've been let down.
This is a female and Pakistani-owned business that I believed started out as a pop up that serviced a coffee shop in Houston. Shakkar brought cube croissants to Houston. It's nice to see that they've opened up in POST. The south-asian croissants are particularly interesting. The tomato chutney one was a little sweet and savory and would be a good try if you are feeling adventurous. Otherwise, easy sure-fire options are the dum ka keema (ground beef) croissant, the aaloo (potatoe) croissant, or the Parle G croissant. Parle G is a sweet cracker or biscuit that is a common household staple in South Asian households so this would be a sweet option. All in all a good business to support. The crunchy, flakiness of the pastry is perfection. I would just say the buttery flavor doesnt come through as much as I would hope but quality of the products are incredible and truly hand crafted. Price point is $7-9 for the baked items.
i got the strawberry and cream cinnamon roll, it was so delicious. presentation could've been a bit better but it was a huge roll, and tasted good, so no complaints in that department. it was hard to choose a pastry because it all looked delicious! you could also order a HUGE croissant (bigger than the size of someone's head). insane option but noted. lol. this spot is located in the post, so parking is per their lot, with the first 20 min being free.
This is the second time I've been to this location. I can't remember what we got the first time but I remember it being good. It's just been a long time. Today I went with the red velvet cupcake, and it was simply amazing. Every single bite was full of flavor. The cupcake was so moist. I like how they use the quality cream cheese, Eissing. My God every bite was amazing. I really enjoyed the cupcake a lot! I hope they offer more cupcakes here because I know croissants are their thing but let me tell you their cupcake was phenomenal! One of the best I've had in a long time! I will definitely come back and try more things off their menu. Everything was top-notch. Great customer service as well. I believe the owner was there working and she was extremely nice and very personal. Do yourself a favor stop in and try their treats. They're amazing. Also, it's always nice to support local businesses. !
I finally got to try this place. I usually get here too late but was it worth the 20 minute wait in line! I ordered the Banana chocolate croissant and it delivered in crispness and rich taste! It helps that I was distracted by everything going on at post! There's so much more I can't try now but I will be back!
Kerry was super nice and she even let us sample some of their in house made croissants. The vibe of the store was clean and aesthetic as well. I totally recommend stopping by and getting a little treat for yourself, you won't be disappointed!
so disappointed, i was REALLLLY looking forward to the famous cube and even got there 10 minutes after they opened in hopes of getting a good one. $9, NINE DOLLARS, for an old stale piece of bread. Chai filling didn't taste like much so it was just like eating the butt of an old bread loaf. Not fresh, not $9 worth, not returning to Shakkar. Also got a coffee that wasn't priced correctly on the menu & just tasted of burnt espresso
Dear Shakkar, I was wide open for you. 'Pressed'as the kids say. I love bread more than anything and a good croissant? I die. I came to Post too early, sat at that cute lil coffee shop waiting for yall to open. 'No matter', I thought, 'I'll get the freshest thang out the oven!'. Well, the display is lovely, I ordered a couple things but kept my gaze steady on the block of croissant offering. Sadly, I was underwhelmed. It was hard. It was sticky on the bottom. No butter favor. I'm open to trying again bc I hear they have croissant bouquets. I need one. Love, Britt. Two word review: second date?
shakkar is a local croissanterie that offers delicious and flaky pastries and desserts including seasonal specialties. they have creative croissants like the cube croissant and their iconic giant croissant! they've done many pop-ups in the past but now have a brick and mortar inside the post market in downtown houston. a great spot for croissant lovers! i recommend the almond croissant and orange cinny morning bun! def get it heated up what we got: - eggnog cube - almond croissant - orange cinny morning bun ig: @whatsviveating
This bakery is inside the POST food hall and it a bit pricey, $10 for a slice. The plain croissant in the picture can feed 15 people which is crazy. I purchased a regular croissant with almond filling which was good. I also bought the French butter they have but it doesn't taste no different than regular butter.

Small bakery but good food. The strawberry croissant was delicious and so so beautiful. It's quite pricey but still a great treat nonetheless. The staff were very friendly and helpful. read more

I am a sucker for a good pastry so when I saw myself at the post on a random weekday I thought I must try these baked goods I've been seeing on social media. I came here on a weekday so service was quick and friendly and of course with it being at the post there is plenty of seating and parking. (1st hr is free) There was an array of pastrys/desserts to pick from but I ordered the Chocolate Cupcake topped with Pistachio topping and their maple Bacon Cinnamon Roll. They were both a dissapointment. The Cupcake was ok, it honestly tasted like the mix from the betty crocker mix and the Cinnamon roll was good in flavor but it was dry. Unfortunately, don't think I would go out of my way to come here again. read more
Made a quick stop at Shak·kar for an iced latte. I originally wanted an iced coffee, but they don't offer one, so I went with the iced latte instead. The latte was well made and enjoyable, although the portion was a little on the smaller side for the price point. The bakery display was clean, well presented and had a good variety of items that all looked delicious. Unfortunately, we were already too full to try any of the baked goods, so I'll have to save those for another visit. The service was courteous and prompt. Despite it being a quick stop, everything was handled efficiently and pleasantly. Overall, a solid quick stop for a coffee. If I'm back in the area, I'd definitely make room to try some of their baked goods next time. read more

Friendly staff & prompt service! Ordered an iced vanilla matcha latte, and it's by far the best one I've had yet from any coffeeshop. Perfect green color & very balanced and smooth in taste. Highly recommend!! read more
Here on a Sunday morning. Ordered 3 coffees. Girl was extremely cold & rude. Acted like we interrupted her and she didn't want to make them. As she was finishing we noticed this squeeze bottle on the counter with Half & Half that was obviously curdled & stuck to insides of container. We smelled it and it was rotten!! When we told her, she acted mad and took it to the back and threw it down somewhere. Our lattes tasted icky and we threw them out. Hope we don't get sick. Beware, appears to be horrible sanitation practices here. read more
