I sought this place out, specifically to try the famous Soufflé Pancakes I've heard so much about. To my knowledge, this is the only place in the Houston area that makes them, so it was a no-brainer. Did they live up to the hype? Heck yeah... The words, "soufflé pancakes" really are perfect in describing this very unique treat. The texture is soft and light, and the flavor is spot on pancakes. I tried two of their flavors: original (butter with honey drizzles) and pistachio. OMG these were truly heavenly! The classic buttery flavor on the original was wonderfully classic. But I would have preferred maple syrup over honey. The pistachio was OUTSTANDING. Same light, fluffy pancake base, but that pistachio cream was dreamy creamy! True pistachio flavor, and the cream was so satisfyingly silky (say that 10 times fast :) On this dish alone, I would easily give Sweet Memes five stars. The deduction is for the place itself... service was very friendly, but the restaurant felt quirky: decor is kitschy Asian. I'm not likely to eat onsite, but I'll definitely be back to try more flavors. read more

Sweet Memes - Houston - Desserts Near Me - Houston, Texas

Sweet Memes is a small, quaint cafe that is decked up in decor, and sometimes I feel it has too much going on. The furniture has a pink and white theme, and there aren't enough outlets (1-2) available for digital work. In addition, the small tables and seats at the back are too close for comfort. These features make the place less appealing, as offering more space and lighting, and providing online access is more equitable to what customers need nowadays. There is a porch bench swing that rocks back and forth and will hit the sofa behind it, so sitting on the sofa will be irritating because you will feel the whack of the porch swing thumping at you. Also, this place is loud with a lot of chatter (stopped by 4 times). The staff are friendly and polite, and the desserts offered are a variety: drinks, crepe, cake, pancakes, and more. I like the smashed young coconut drink - very rich and plentiful, but I have to ask for a cup of crushed ice to lessen the density of the drink/dessert. I also like the fresh very berry smoothie and the passion fruit (with mixed fruit) tea drinks as well. read more

I order a Matcha w oatmeal. They put expire oat milk in the Matcha. They say it just my taste buds cuz their oats milk has a sour taste. REALLY! Bad customer service. read more

The cafe was very cute, and my friends and I enjoyed a nice afternoon there catching up. I especially like the entry with the old tv. The decor is very thrown together but home like in a way. The menu is a bit difficult to read as everything is put on the menu and made it difficult to read. Have to scan the QR code to see the menu. I enjoyed the coffee Frappuccino drink I had as it really had the coffee taste. I would come back again. read more

Sweet Memes is a great for small hangouts. The decor is very cute and innovative. They change out new decor seasonally said it feels refreshing coming back after a while. We had a matcha milk tea was made fairly well and a matcha souffle. The souffle is a must try! The sponge layer is moist and creamy. A must recommend! There's a kiosk for easy order making if they cashier is busy making another drink. There's also an easy reward system to sign up using your phone number if you're planning to come back often. The environment is fairly quite and conducive to good conversation. read more

We came here for dessert after dinner because we wanted something not ice cream related. Out of the sweets we had, I think the Millie crepe is worth going back. I was disappointed in the coffee toast and Logan tiramisu. The coffee toast was literally four toasts and covered in coffee and coco. The Logan tiramisu is super creamy but lack taste. I can't really taste anything. It was more about creamy texture and sponge ness of the biscuits. Which is great btw. Just lacking in taste. The croissant waffle is.. plain. When you go in, you order though and iPad and the staff can answer any questions you have. They made the food quickly and we had to listen for our number and pick our sweets off the counter. It's all very self serve. The ambiance is amazing here. Except the cider blocks. They seem to change every season so if you want a good photo shoot day, this is the place. The atmosphere here is very cutesy and photogenic. I may not come here for the food but I will for the decor. It's such a cute and decorative place to take photos of yourself and with anyone that comes with you. Parking is rough. You can park on one side of the street, the block of the store. Do not park across the street. They will tow you. Theres like 4 tow trucks, just watching. It was weird. There is a cop car in the parking lot for security. I typically just drive up and down and hope someone leaves. read more

The souffle pancakes were pretty fluffy and had great flavors and sauces. I'd definitely try all the flavors at some point. The sticky rice was not good, it just tasted bland, but was green and had mango on the side. The mango mango mojito was refreshing and a great combination, though would have been better without passion fruit seeds. I'd go back mostly for the souffle pancakes. read more

Sweet Memes is a cute cafe located in the heart of Chinatown off of the Main Street. What we love about this Cafe is that it seasonally changes decor so that once in awhile, the visit feels very refreshing and new. They still do a good job on service and food. There's a kiosk in front for self-ordering. We tried the Ube milk tea and matcha souffle. The souffle was amazing, silky, soft, and fluffy. I must recommend! read more

My family and I came by after dinner next door, and we were pretty excited for a sweet treat. The decor is very unique, resembling something of a garden. We ordered a pot of rose tea and a slice of crepe cake along with a croffle. The food and drink tasted great. Absolutely no complaints there. Unfortunately, the croffle portion was underwhelming. A scoop of ice cream? Try a melon baller's worth. Also, the prices were very steep. The rose tea pot comes with two tea cups. However, there is an additional charge if you ask for an extra cup. As for the service, we ordered through the kiosk in the front. However, the employee behind the counter could not be bothered, as she must have had some very pressing matters on her cellular device, which involved a lot of scrolling. We had to ask for so many different things it was almost like we were being needy, but we just wanted the essentials. The bathrooms were not clean either. While we really thought this was going to be a nice birthday dessert outing, everything just seemed lackluster in the end, especially at this price. read more

Found this place very relaxing, very calm music playing and the decor very soothing. Order from a kiosk, many different items from drinks to desserts to choice from. The matcha soufflé was pleasantly airy, but being matcha it didn't have much flavor on its own, definitely need to take the bite with the ice cream and whip cream to bring out the taste. Enjoyed my Dirty Taro Boba--made with brown sugar. Will definitely be back to try other items. read more

Sweet Memes - More Like Sour Disappointment I visited Sweet Memes last night with my family, and I'm honestly shocked at how far this place has fallen. I used to love this spot--my last visit was two years ago, and the soufflé back then was perfect: soft, jiggly, and full of flavor. Sadly, it looks like there's been an ownership change since then, and the quality has completely tanked. The soufflé I ordered was a total letdown. Flat, dry, and lifeless--looked and tasted like it was reheated in a microwave. We got the original honey flavor, but even that was dull and lifeless. Whatever premium honey they used to use has clearly been swapped out for something cheap and flavorless. I also ordered a strawberry green tea and nearly gagged. It was so overwhelmingly sweet it tasted like someone just poured Hawaiian Punch over ice. Not even close to the refreshing drink I was expecting. But the worst part? The original toast. What a joke. They literally slapped together two slices of cheap supermarket white bread (yes, even used the END piece of the loaf!), toasted it, threw on some fruit, a drizzle of honey, and a scoop of Blue Bell ice cream. That's it. And they charge a premium for this? Come on. This isn't creative or quality--it's just lazy and disrespectful to customers. This place used to have standards. Now it's cutting corners in all the wrong places. I won't be coming back, and I'll be sure to tell everyone I know to steer clear. There are plenty of better dessert spots on Bellaire--don't waste your time or money here. read more

This is the most aesthetically pleasing cafe I have ever visited. This is a beautiful location to take someone on a small date, study session, or a post-dinner treat. There is so much dessert options to choose from. It may be worth considering the menu before visiting because there is simply so much to choose from. You order from a kiosk, so I do not have much to say about the service other than it was simply pleasant and normal. My drink was delicious too. I ordered a tiger milk tea, and it was great! read more

Got to come here for the first time and I got two crepes (mango and ube). It was bit heavy on cream and personally I liked ube more than mango. My friend got a strawberry milk yogurt etc and it was really good! I'll have to come have and try some drinks next time! Inside is quite lively setting! Come and enjoy the sweets time!

I haven't been back here in a while and was in the area waiting for my kid's cell phones to be repaired at Mr. Shan's computer and phone repair in the Dynasty plaza....needed to kill some time and get work done on the computer. This is a great place to hang out and get that done. Their desserts and teas are good. Best of all is the comfy place I can be productive in and the lady at the counter is nice enough to give me extra hot water in my tea pot when needed. I'll definitely come back again sometime. My kids love sweets so maybe I'll bring them here again. They loved the boba drinks and soufflés and other things from a while back. My cousin's wife introduced me to this place and she would get things to go all the time. Popcorn Ckn could be better. It was very dried up like bit old/ sitting out too long? My favorite popcorn chicken is from Tapioca House read more

So we went to the Japanese Festival Today and it sucked. There was a long line for this wobble cake Japanese pancake stand... not only were they charging $17 for two little pancakes but they stopped serving at 6 pm (what?!). So I quickly looked up a place that served Japanese soufflé pancakes... and we found this glorious place. We ordered the strawberry soufflé pancakes and the pistachio crepe cake. It was delicious. We also got a corn milk matcha latte (ACTUALLY SO GOOD) and a dirty boba with creme brulee and taro tea (ABSOLUTELY DELCIOUS). Needless to say we are happy and satisfied!!! read more

I ordered the jasmine milk tea with boba, the salted egg toast, and the 'Vietnamese panna cotta,' but unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to expectations. The total came out to $35, which was steep for the quality it was served. The salted egg sauce on the toast was overly salty to the point of being overwhelming, and it was served cold, which didn't help the flavor. While I know salted egg yolk is meant to have a savory kick, this was excessive. The panna cotta was disappointing as well, it was mostly ice and syrup, with only a few small cubes of actual panna cotta. I think I counted about eight pieces. Even the boba in my milk tea tasted a bit stale, which was surprising since this spot used to be one of my favorite dessert shops. The quality of the food and drinks, as well as the ambiance of the place, seems to have gone downhill recently, which is really disappointing. read more

Sweet Memes was clearly set up to have a cute photogenic atmosphere with lots of decorations everywhere. There was a lot of seating throughout. I decided to try the matcha soufflé pancake with matcha ice cream. The pancake was very fluffy and soft, but the matcha cream that it had on top did not have much matcha flavor. The matcha ice cream had way more matcha flavor and helped boost the taste of the pancake which didn't have much flavor on its own. As with most soufflé pancake places I've seen, all the pancakes appear to be the same base batter and then the restaurants just add different sauces on top. It was a bit pricey as most of these types of cafes are. You order on an iPad by the counter and pick up your food at the counter, so there was not much in the way of interactive service, but the restaurant was decently clean. read more

Sweet memes is a very cute place to take photos and have some desserts. Someone did mention that they have a variety of dessert and that they aren't specialized in any which I can agree with. This place is a hit or miss. Croffle 2/5 I was so disappointed with this dish. I've had it elsewhere and would not recommend this here. It wasn't as soft nor flakey. It was like a thick waffle. Not the same consistency as even when I make at home. Ice cream was good though and I appreciate the sauce and fruit. Flan 3/5 I don't recall how it tasted before but maybe my taste bud has changed. Brown sugar soufflé pancake 5/5 Friends loved it. I also had a bite and enjoyed it. Mango soufflé pancake 3/5 It was okay. Hot teapot 5/5 Pretty good. Can't go wrong. read more

How sweet it is, if you have a sweet tooth, this place is for you! I've been near the area multiple times, and the name of this location always appealed to me. For some reason, I thought I was going to walk in and find tons of internet jokes and images that would make me smile: MEMES. I got nothing of the sort, but was pleasantly surprised. This place has absolutely beautiful and pink decor inside (including an area that you can sit in that looks like something out of a fairy tale book). Its famous for their desserts and drinks, specifically their waffles and pancakes. When you arrive, you order through a tablet. We decided to fulfil our sweet cravings, by ordering the Strawberry Souffle along with a Creme Brulé Smoothie. Deliciousness they name is Sweet Memes! The Strawberry Souffle tasted like fluffy fresh pancakes covered in a beautiful pink frosting that would make any Barbie fan smile. I'm not a Barbie fan, yet it still made me smile. The Creme Brule smoothie was literally like drinking liquid Creme Brule, even burned to the top to give that crunch that is essential to the dessert. Staff was friendly as well. However, I did find the prices to be a bit expensive. These two items ended up being about 20 bucks! Regardless, it was a fun time, and definitely a spot that I would consider returning to. read more

If you have a high sugar tolerance then im nt sure if this place is for you. Honestly I originally ordered a crème brûlée soufflé pancakes with a Sakura Frappuccino with extra sugar(picked it because of the name ) and the drink was not sweet at all quite tasteless, so i went inside to try to get a different one since you could literally see the whipped cream at the very due to me only getting one sip and they refused an exchange and i paid for an smoothie instead. Boo!! Now on the receipt it does say they dont exchange drinks but damn i could see if my drink was half way gone or something, not me just receiving it and you wont do it. ‍‍ Now the pancakes didnt have flavor either but the cream that they had on side tasted sweet but the ice cream given wasnt vanilla like I ordered. Strawberry smoothie with extra sugar is GREAT.! Please make sure you order what you like cause no refunds or exchanges Beautiful inside, great place to take pictures.! read more

This place is a super cute venue for desserts. It is decorated with flowers, lights, and even a fountain. Don't be intimidated by the decor, though--the vibe is very casual. You go in, place an order electronically on a monitor, and they call your number when the order is ready at the counter (dine-in and take-out options available). It is not a fancy sit-down restaurant. The food and drinks are wonderful. I got the Raindrop cake and the Strawberry Soufflé Pancakes, which were both really good. I especially loved the pancakes, which had the perfect soft, fluffy texture. They were sweet, but not too sweet, which I like. As for drinks, I had the Blue Butterfly Tea Cheese Foam, which was light and refreshing. Overall highly recommend. read more

I visited on the night of my birthday! I wanted something sweet, but not overly sweet, and something perfect for my smaller appetite. This place delivers on all! Shoutout to being open until 10pm, and to their friendly staff serving me so close to closing. I felt guilty indulging in this delicious edible artwork in their aesthetically pleasing shop, yet I couldn't help but relish this birthday treat! I highly recommend this place!! However, if you like your treats packed with sugars, try somewhere else. They close at 10pm, and it was around 9pm when I realized I never got a slice of cake or cupcake for my birthday! I wasn't craving anything super sugary or mass produced, just something light. I found my place! I've never had Souffle before, so I took a chance and it was so worth it! Their Strawberry Souffle was in the goldilocks zone of sweetness, not loaded with sugar and not blan. It was light and creamy goodness all around. The whole fruit on top gave it that healthy-health-halo and natural sweetness I prefer. The whip cream and ice cream was delightfully delicious too! In addition to the food and flavor being great, so was the portion and customer service. I wasn't leaving with a to go box or feeling unsatisfied. I also greatly appreciate how kind the staff were to serve me and my husband, in addition to a few other groups, so so close to closing. The staff was friendly, helpful, delivering beautiful dished orders and cleaning up shop all at the same time. I highly recommend this place if this is what you're looking for. read more

Been meaning to try this place as we have tried several others restaurants in this strip center like Mein, BLK dog, Ishin Udon, etc. Lots of great businesses after the modern renovation. First impression was the decor is cute. A LOT stuffes toys cushions, flowers, wall arts, very girlie. It wasn't packed when we went at 8 pm for their souffle pancakes. I've tried it in Okinawa, Japan and Taichung, Taiwan, so I wanted my hubby to experience the fluffy goodies. Had 2 orders: matcha and mango, also a pot of rose tea for $28, a bit steep but it's not an everyday expense. Both pancakes were great and light. Tea was good but those rose buds got stuck at the spout and hard to pour. Tables and chairs are not comfortable at all. Perhaps the owners discouraged people from sitting too long. Chairs are either made in wood or center blocks. Our butts and back hurt after 35 mins, hence, one star off. read more

If you like really sweet desserts, this is the place to go. I've been here a couple of times and I do enjoy their Mango Mille Crepe Cake and their Salted Egg Yolk Toast. But I thought their Dalgona Coffee Nutella Toast was pretty disgusting - it tasted just like coffee beans and I didn't taste a hint of Nutella in it at all. Service is pretty much non-existent. I've only been here twice and both times when I came in, there's no 'hello', there's no 'can I help you?'. Only cashiers who would stand behind the counter and have a blank stare at me waiting for me to place an order. The decoration is different from all the other joints in Chinatown. It may do it for you, but it definitely didn't do it for me. I don't mind coming back if I'm close by. But I don't think I'll be going out of my way just to come here. read more
