    Cakelettes & Top Tiers
    Annalisa P.

    I pass by almost every day on my way home and have always wanted to try their desserts. I didn't realize it's mostly sugar cookies, which are a great if you want to customize designs for parties. I really enjoyed their oatmeal cream pies - regular and Reese's. You can see the vanilla bean in the regular whip, and the Reese's whip is very peanut buttery. I thought the oatmeal cookie itself was delicious, esp cause of all the pecans in it. The cookie is crisp on the outside and chewy in the center. My friend is a fan of pumpkin, so she had the pumpkin cakelette. It's actually a white cake with pumpkin frosting, which wasn't what she was expecting. I don't really like sugar cookies, but I'd come back for their oatmeal cream pies even though they're a little on the pricier side. The place was very clean inside. There's a small 2-person table seating right outside the doors. There's a small parking lot they share with other places.

    I had to up my review because that Reese's oatmeal cream pie was amazing. I'm not a peanut butter fan but I got it for my husband and once I tried that delicate delicious peanut butter flavored cream I almost cried. Solid.

    Such a beautiful bakery! Boyfriend and I stopped in for a little birthday treat and we're greeted right away. the display case was filled with mini cakes, brownies, sugar cookies, and even macarons. We decided to get a brownie and a Texas shaped sugar cookie. Both were good ! The cookie however was super sweet in my opinion. Overall I enjoyed my experience and would come again. We were also gifted dog treats for our pups at home. THEY LOVED THEIR TREATS

    This is a beautiful cookie shop with a baker who was featured on the Food Network! We just happened to drive by this place and decided to pop in on a whim, and we were greeted by friendly staff. We got one Oatmeal Pecan Raisin cookie, one Brown Butter Chocolate Chip cookie, and one brownie. They had some super cute Houston Astros themed cookies too that we didn't get to try. All the treats we purchased were delicious, chocolatey, and full of flavor. I did dock down a star, however, as it was a tad too sweet for my preference. Would return to try their sugar cookies.

    Chocolate chip, one with oatmeal and pecans too! Chocolate chip was best! Oatmeal was a bit too grainy. Sugar cookie was ok.

    Was absolutely amazing and it met all of my expectations as far as with a buttered brown chocolate chip cookie!!!

    I ordered custom cookies for my sister baby shower. The ordering process was super easy, Allan was a pleasure to work with. They communication was super straightforward and very accommodating. I ordered around 3 dozen cookies and all of the design and colors turned out the way I wanted it. The cookies were a huge hit - everyone LOVED the cookies!! Not going to lie based off my experiences with sugar cookies they tend to be stale. But with The bearded baker, the cookies turned out super soft, not too sweet, the icing wasn't too hard to bite through. You can even see the vanilla beans in the cookies!!! I would highly recommend them for custom sugar cookies, they definitely are going to be my go to going forward for sugar cookies!!

    Lovely looking and tasty cookies!

    I am VERY satisfied with this latest order! I'm a repeat customer. Tasty, Pretty cookies and good customer service. Thank you

    I got the Dark Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream, the service was good as far as with friendliness. The bakery was very empty, but then carry out was quick!

    I have envied Austin for years because of all the adorable cookie designs available to them at Hayleycakes, and now Houston finally has their own option. They have both regular desserts and the elaborately decorated cookies - I'm waiting for an excuse to throw a party and order a batch. I did grab one of the smaller boxes for Father's Day and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the cookies. Usually the royal icing type designs are all style and no substance, and these were actually soft and had a good flavor.

    Super Mario themed sugar cookies

    I have ordered custom sugar cookies from The Bearded Baker two years in a row for my kid's themed birthday parties and they never disappoint. Allan (aka The Bearded Baker) is incredibly talented and creates amazing cookies to match the themes each time. Last year we had Super Mario and this year 2 Fast 2 Furious. I admit that the cookies are on the more pricy side and I did have to pay extra for the individual packaging, but IMO the quality of these cookies justifies the pricing. Not to mention that our party guests are always extremely impressed by them. If you want good quality custom sugar cookies, I definitely recommend checking them out.

    Cookies and macarons

    I've been wanting to try the Bearded Baker and finally got to swing by this past weekend. I got a little bit of everything cause I couldn't decide on what I wanted-brown sugar choc chip cookies (with and without pecans), oatmeal raisin cookie, oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, creme brûlée macarons, and a king cake bundlette. My favorite were the brown sugar choc chip cookies with pecans while my sister liked the ones without and my fiancée liked the oatmeal ones the best. There is something for everyone here and the customer service is great.

    Wow!! We first saw Allan on The Food Network and were so excited to find him on Facebook and see he was opening a bakery! I waited patiently for the bakery to open and FINALLY was able to stop by this morning. I got one of each type of king cake (yum!) and 2 brown butter chocolate chip cookies (also yum!). The lady helping me was extremely nice and personable! I love all the treats we got and cannot wait to come back to try some more!!

    Is this the best cookie in Houston?! I tried the brown butter chocolate chip and the oatmeal pecan chocolate chip and both were amazing! Soft, buttery and full of chips, I couldn't decide which was my favorite. I guess I have to get one of each when I'm in the area! The staff was fun and the shop spectacularly clean. Definitely a must try.

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.

I also heard great things about the mango mochi so we couldn't leave without those. Thankfully they still had some in stock. I heard they sell out quickly especially on weekends. Those also lived up to its hype. SO YUMMY! Tastes so fresh including the mangoes. My kiddo who LOVES mango anything loved them so much! My husband also got 2 savory pastries (I forgot what they were called and I forgot to take a picture) and those were yummy too. Perfectly flakey crust just like the egg tarts. We wanted to get sesame balls but they were sold out. Customer service was great. The guy that took our order was very nice. It was pretty busy but he moved through the line quickly. There's some seating inside if you want to eat there. Prices are very reasonable at $2 each for the mochi and egg tarts. The savory pastries were $3. It's located in a shared lot/area. Parking can be tight and limited on a busy weekend day but they have parking right out front for the Eck bakery customers. Also note that if you pay with card it's a 2.5% charge so cash is better if you have it. We didn't but we know now for future. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back. Next time we'll come earlier and get a bigger order and try their other offerings.

(They reminded me of those traditional paper chinese food take out containers but cup form). They also have raw spaghetti pasta? for people to use as stir sticks for their coffees.
