They offer an assortment of delicatessens gelato, macrons, cupcakes, madeleines and other sweet treats. They also offer a variety of coffee beverages freshly brewed with their own original blend. The aesthetic is very cute and very pink! They have a cute patio space and indoor seating as well. I stopped in and ordered an Americano for my coffee fix a nice medium brew that is not acidic, and a lavender citron and a Sucre confetti cupcake. OMG talk about amazing! The owner was present and recommended the lavender citron and boy was he right! It is created to perfection. The lavender is subtle and doesn't over power the flavors at all. I also ordered a Sucre confetti cupcake,which I haven't tried yet but it too is crafted beautifully and I am sure it will equally taste amazing! I definitely plan to go back and try more things on the menu!

I was informed of a new dessert spot that was close to where I was grabbing happy hour and figured…read morewhy not check it out. Sucre is a pastry shop on Kirby in the Rice Village area and I guess hails from New Orleans. It does have dedicated parking which is always nice. Walking in, this feels like a high end pastry shop, clean, modern, and display cases full of various pastries. Service was nice and the pastry come in very nice packaging. We ordered the fruit tart and the lavande citron entremet. Unfortunately, this was more of aesthetic with no substance for me. The lavande citron tasted like excessively sweet birthday cake with the most subtle hint of lemon and mo lavendar. It was sort of like a grocery store cupcake that was dressed up. The fruit tart was also rather soft and textureless, like it was made for someone who couldn't chew. The fruit portion was a strange gel and the tart itself was like a super soft shortbread. What this spot has in aesthetic they lose out in flavor and texture. For me, it was not a spot that was worth the money and seemed to be built for a quick pic for social media more so than any substantial quality of pastry. It was a nice ambiance and staff were super kind though but likely won't be returning.

I was right; it wasn't crowded--just my husband and me. We ordered an Arabic coffee and a latte with milk. (As a side note, they were out of Arabic coffee, so we opted for Turkish coffee instead.) We also decided to purchase some chocolate. The person at the till showed us a couple of chocolate box options, and we chose the large one to fill with amazing and interesting chocolates. Yummmm We also asked for a bar of the viral Dubai chocolate bar. The employee said he had already added it to our box! We asked him twice, and he agreed. We complimented his stealth and efficiency. He even charged for it. When we got home, the Dubai chocolate was nowhere to be found. It wasn't in the box, the bag, or anywhere else, but there was definitely an additional charge on our receipt for it. Why did the employee double down on confirming that it was in the bag if it wasn't? While I want to assume it was an innocent mistake, this was an utterly disappointing customer service experience, even though it had a really welcoming vibe set up by the Syrian traditional family and their history depicted on the walls. I'll think twice before visiting this place again, despite its lovely family history.

The flavor combos are INSANE- not Criminal Minds insane, but like God bless whoever put mangoes in salsa type insane.

There were two samples there i tried that I didn't care for the flavors, not that's the point of the sample, right? Trust anything with chocolate- that much I can say holds true. My favorite was the double chocolate chip- my son loved the breakfast cookie of all things. He wished they had a white chocolate macadamia- that's his absolute favorite. I'll definitely stop in if I'm back in the area again.

What a cute little hidden gem!…read more After a trip to the Children's Museum, we were craving something sweet and this place was exactly what we needed. Tucked away with a natural, open-air feel and views of the outdoors, it was such a refreshing spot to sit back and enjoy a treat. The ice cream was so good that we completely forgot to take pictures, which says a lot. The staff was genuinely kind and happy to help, offering samples to make sure we found the perfect flavor. I went with the banana pudding ice cream and it absolutely delivered. The flavor and texture tasted just like a frozen version of homemade banana pudding. Creamy, rich, and packed with flavor. Great service, great ice cream, and a relaxing atmosphere. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area looking for something sweet.

Damn I was not expecting that!!! This place was amazing. I'm not sure if I'm being overly biased…read moreover one item but that item was so damn absolutely, amazingly good. I tasted one of the seasonal strawberry ice creams they had before I tried the cookies and cream and as soon as I tried that cookies and cream I knew I was getting it even though I tried the vanillas (standard and Mexican) after it. The moment she told me that the cookies and cream use their actual housemade cookies I was sold. When she told me that they used three different cookies I was ready to buy the house! Normally I would have tried more of the ice cream flavors but I was so sold on the cookies and cream that I knew anything else was just a waste of my time in that moment, with all due respect, because there wasn't a thing I tasted there that wasn't delicious. I just knew what I wanted in that moment. I got two scoops of the cookies and cream on a waffle cone. I enjoy that they used a Oaxacan green cornmeal for the Waffle Cone and it gave it up a bluish green tint that you can see inside of it, which was a nice touch. And the cone itself was pretty tasty! For what tasted like some pretty premium ice cream to me I feel like the prices are rather reasonable when you look at the market. My body betrays me when it comes to lactose but this is a place that I would gladly go to again and again for an experience the lactose overload later. But I'm not sure if it's the quality of their ingredients or what but I actually didn't have any lactose reaction, which only makes me think even higher of this place. The woman working there when I went was very kind and helpful. She didn't seem to have any issue with giving out samples and seem to be ready to issue more but my decision was made early on. If you are at MKT Market, or honestly anywhere within the Heights, I highly recommend making a stop to try the ice cream here!

Let's just start with this: vanilla bean cake topped with vanilla bean frosting…read more I don't think I've ever tasted anything better. The cake is incredibly moist, soft, and full of rich vanilla flavor. The frosting is smooth, creamy, and perfectly sweet without being overwhelming. Every bite tastes like real vanilla bean and pure perfection. It's proof that when simple ingredients are done right, they can be absolutely extraordinary. No fancy gimmicks needed--just an amazing cupcake that delivers on flavor from the first bite to the last. If you're a vanilla lover, this cupcake is a must-try. It may very well ruin all other vanilla cupcakes for you!

The cutest sweet treat!…read more Whenever I'm in Houston I know I'm going to have to some good food and even yummier desserts! My friend took me to CRAVE because I mentioned I wanted something sweet. She mentioned she had a cupcake place so we charged up the Tesla and went! Now, the service chef's kiss (muah)! The hostess or cupcakery person was so sweet and very helpful! The ambiance in there is so cute. I love that you get a view of the kitchen as well as the large glass display of the cupcakes. They also have cookies and cake pops too! I will be going back for a cake pop for my son those are his favorites. Now the deliciousness of the cupcake: the frosting wasn't too sweet it had the right amount of sweetness to it. The actual cake very moist and light. I didn't feel that I needed to chug something to drink after eating it. All in all I would definitely go back and try more flavors!

Since Van Leeuwen is in Rice Village, parking can be a little tough, but I managed to snag a spot on the street, which is free for about 2 hours! Seating is also limited, so this is more of a to-go establishment. While there is outdoor seating nearby, in this Houston seat, I wouldn't even think twice about doing that. I believe buying the pints is cheaper, but $7-$8 for a singular scoop was criminal... You can definitely get more value for your money with 2-3 scoops, but I wasn't feeling too glutinous the day I visited.

This ice cream shop is located in Rice Village on Amherst where there's a row of metered parking…read moreright in front of the shop, but also complimentary 2-hour rooftop garage parking just above. The shop has a simple layout with only three small tables and a restroom down the left hallway. On a weekday afternoon, there weren't a lot of customers and only a few individuals came and went as we were enjoying our ice cream inside. The staff were enthusiastic and greeted us upon entrance and offered samples on any of their ice creams. They have many classic flavors as well as unique ones, which were tempting to get. There were a few flavors that sounded really good, but were too light on the bold flavor the ice cream was trying to show (for example, the big face coffee affogato and the mango sticky rice). Since Van Leeuwen Ice Cream stemmed from NYC and is known for its rich, velvety texture and double-egg based dairy ice cream, I expected more. However, the praline butter cake and earl grey tea flavors were tasty and enticing, though I settled for their strawberry matcha. That strawberry flavor was natural tasting and slightly tart yet sweet, while the matcha was creamy yet a bit earthy... a well balanced scoop! The sugar cone was nice and crispy and not overwhelmingly sweet. We dressed the praline butter cake scoop in a cup with a salted caramel drizzle, which was indulgent. The salted caramel drizzle was a bit overpowering the ice cream, but still a good combination. The menu is structured to serve ice cream by the single scoop ($6.95), double scoop ($8.25), or triple scoop ($9.25), so the more you get the better bang for your buck. It seems like a fancier ice cream experience overall as the prices are more than the typical shop around. Additionally, the ice cream can be served in a cup or a cone if you prefer, with sugar cones complimentary, but waffle cones come with a charge. There are 10+ vegan ice creams in store for those who would like dairy-free alternatives and a plethora of toppings like sauces, crumbles, and drizzles. There are also sundaes on their menu which are perfect for sharing or fine for oneself (if you please). I would say Van Leeuwen has some attractive flavors and good quality ice creams I'd love to come back for sometime. Note: If you're a health care worker and show the staff your badge upon checkout, there's a discount. Plus, on Tuesdays, the first topping is free.
