“This was our first time getting donuts in the eat end and to be honest this place was amazing! They are very sweet and welcoming we had a dozen donuts; they were fresh, yummy and my 4 year old ate all of it not just the chocolate part. He loved them ?? the kolaches were great & the ham egg and cheese croissant as well . There vanilla iced coffee was also amazing ?? 5 starts hands down better than Shipley ‘s . Nothing we got was stale ???This is officially our donut place ? Thanks again for the yummy food ?“

“Why 5 stars? Because after far too long, I finally made it here, and it was worth the wait. --- --- --- I discovered Crumbville over a year ago and it just never worked out for me to stop in and visit. Despite it not being super close by where we at lunch, I made it a point that it finally had to happen. And why did I wait so long?? When we first walked in, there was a line of people waiting to pay for what they'd picked out. But, the owner, despite being busy with all of these people, still greeted us and was going over all of the different options in the store, while she was ringing up people in line. When we made it to the front of the line, she could not have possibly been a friendlier human. It's no wonder the reviews here are so amazing, because even if you don't absolutely love the goodies, you can't help but enjoy coming in here. As for what we bought: Mayniac Munch = 4.5 stars. Red velvet, chocolate chip pecan cookie dough & oreos. This was solid when we snacked on a couple bites in the car, but so amazing when we got home and heated it up a little bit. Best of Both Worlds = 4.5 stars. Fudge brownie topped with chocolate chip pecan cookie dough and cream cheese. This was my wife's choice and something I wasn't super excited about. But I took one bite and next thing I knew, I had eaten half of it! Butter ThickHER Thana Snicker = 5 stars. Moist Butter cake with our Signature ThickHER Thana Snicker cookie (rich chocolate dough filled with peanuts, chocolate, Caramel, nougats & popcorn) baked inside. This was absolutely stupid good. 5 stars doesn't do it justice. How about 15? The icing was amazing too. And the best part was that I didn't feel awful after eating it. I don't know what she puts in this stuff to not give me an immediate stomach ache full of regret afterward, like most baked goods, but it's heaven. I will not wait 14 months to make my next visit, I promise you that.“

“Came here on a whim with a vegan friend who raves about this place. And went crazy. Got the blueberry, banana walnut and the lemon poppy muffins. The lemon poppy was by FAR my favorite. It was moist with the perfect lemony flavor. The icing is not super sweet and complements the muffin. The blueberry was good and flavorful and then the banana walnut. There was a chunk of banana in it which gave me finger vibes‍ wish it was chopped up more. For that reason I didn't finish the muffin. And it was the end of the banana with the black tip. The strawberry shortcake cookie combo was really good. The chocolate chip cookie and strawberries were blended perfectly. All in all it was great and I'm gonna come back for the breakfast pizza and the grandma cookies.“

“What a neat Food-stand? Food-counter? There's a word for this in Hindi but for street food, so this is similar except that it's only coffees, drinks, and pastries. I read that the chef is from New York, but I especially like the location. I always go for their seasonal drinks but my husband always goes for latte with alt milk. Whenever I decide to walk the Columbia Tap Trail, this is a nice stop land treat about halfway through the trail. I feel rewarded. Although I have seen regulars here with their pups and those who also just look like they just popped out of bed for some coffee (I can relate)! It's nice to see that this place is still flourishing since the pandemic I'm sure I'll be back!“

“Warm hot chocolate chip cookie are amazing never disappoint. Love trying the other flavors as well, some are too sweet for my taste but I don’t regret having a taste. My coworkers and I love getting a pack of 6 and cutting the cookies into bite size for everyone to try. They are big cookies!“

“Chose this coffee spot as a place to chill before our flight out of houston. Floored on the food - the Chinese sausage tacos were amazing. The tortillas were just right, good portions, right amount of heat, sweet, and texture. Best breakfast taco I've ever had. Wish i had more time in Houston to try their whole menu! Cold brews were good as well!“

“I want to take this opportunity to highly recommend Mr. Donut. Every time I visit this establishment, the proprietors welcome me as if I am family. If you desire outstanding and friendly service, as well as quality food items, please visit Mr. Donut.Parking: Very Good location, easy in and out parking.“

“We recently ordered cookies and cake pops from Lucy Pearl's for our event, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome! Not only did our attendees rave about the desserts, but Nicole and her team went above and beyond to accommodate our dietary restrictions by offering vegan and gluten-free options for the cake pops. From the initial inquiry to the delivery of the treats, the customer service was outstanding. The entire team at Lucy Pearl's was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the entire process. The quality of the desserts surpassed our expectations, and we highly recommend Lucy Pearl's for any catering needs. Thank you for helping make our event a success!“

“Cam’t wait to come back!! This truly is a hidden gem, and a welcome respite from the fast food places around the area. Food was delicious and fresh. The desserts were *chefs kiss*. Loved the fact that the drinks weren’t overly sweet.We had the Chicken Banh Mi, Pork Banh Mi, spring roll, the Pink Lady Lemonade and the Detox Mint Green Tea. The owner said the desserts were seasonal, but if you get a chance try the coconut mini cake (white) pr the banana/sesame (yellow) one.“

“Staff speaks French, authentic French pâtisserie. My favorites were the sandwich au thon, et le pain aux raisin. The quality of the baguette for the sandwich was great and it was nice eating outside they even made homemade dog treats for my dog.“

“Before and After. This is long time coming. I truly enjoy my experience with Bianca. I sent her TikTok of my idea and she nailed it completely. I order my little cousin bday cake back in Nov and never saw a kid so happy with his cake. The cake was really tasty and frosting was to die for. Everyone enjoy they cake adults and kids to. It was perfect and Bianca truly works for you!“

“First time going and I want to give my honest review.Pros - the lady attending us was super super nice. I really enjoyed her customer service and attention. Another pro is that this is a family owned business. We should support them the best way we can. But.Cons - the prices are a bit high compared to Bolillo and tepa. The cookies are also smaller in size. I got $20 worth of pan dulce while at the other locations for the same items it’s $14-$15 including bolillos.Speaking of cookies, I got two macadamia nut cookies and both were hard. Made me think they were not fresh.Got two different empanadas and they could use more stuffing.Unfortunately I have more cons than pros but I mean no harm. I hope yall read this review and take action. I bet it will make the panederia more successful. God Bless!“

“It's the original and not to be duplicated by any other. A true staple of Houston and South Houston. Service is always on point, cleanliness at 100 and fast ordering. The coffee is fire. Get here early if you want to get a hold of those fajita kolaches. Those are bliss“

“We've been going to this bakery for years and everything is absolutely delicious. One of my favorites things are the conchas and cuernos. And other great part of this bakery is that it is always clean and organized and the service is outstanding.“

“It is indeed a hidden gem.I got the chilaquiles rojos with Guisado de Pollo. It had a great taste, spicy indeed. My only complaining was that it is only Chilaquiles and beans, anything extra it’s more.The Machacado was also delicious. Would have been nice if there were more sides included, as well for the tortilla to be homemade.The desserts looked delicious! We did end up getting 2 bread, it was good. Tasted like any bread at the bakery.Would definitely come back to try other stuff.“

“I have been here like 3x to grab some tacos and it's always been really good, but moving forward to today 02/03/24 I must say that the Menudo and Barbacoa is very very very delicious. I really love the flavor of the menudo it isn't greasy at all the tripe is cut into a good size that is eatable and it doesn't have that strong bayleaf flavor. To be quite honest this is now really the best menudo I have had...hands down the best!!! The barbacoa, OMG OMG, NOW THAT IS ?!!!!! I have had good barbacoa but this one, this one is on a whole different level. This barbacoa is made/cooked to perfection!!!! It's not greasy yall, there's no fat yall, and it's super dupper clean like OMG. Hey I must say this is the cleanest barbacoa I have ever came across this is the most delicious barbacoa I have ever came across and I will most definitely be coming back. The prices are amazing I promise you will get your money's worth. There's alot of places out there charging $20 a lb for nothing but fat but that's not that case here. I highly recommend anyone who has never been here and is looking for delicious food swing by to this bakery. Everything here is delicious the only thing I don't like is that it's cash only but it is what it is.“

“Best sugar cookies I've ever had. Little slices of heaven! Also loved the peanut butter cookies and their oatmeal raisin are good too even though I don't like raisins. Can't wait to try everything they have including the breads!“

“We stopped in as part of the Jingle in the City Home Tour where they had free hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was good and all the treats we just had to get were good as well. I had to get a brownie which was pretty big. I don't know who they think can eat a brownie like that in one sitting (it's me), but you can give it a try.“

“I’ve gone to this location twice this year at different hours and the quality of their products is top notch. Typically at bakeries if you arrive later in the day the options are less and the bread isn’t as fresh.It was so satisfying to walk in and find the same experience both times. The manager at this location, Jose, is also very knowledgeable of his product and was completely helpful with the large orders I’ve made.There are several El Bolillo locations but I am definitely committed to this one.“

“Visit 2-4-2023: We went here for brunch today. I had the ham& swiss, apple, and a little of my friend's cream cheese kolache and a bit of her jolly peno pops kolache and they were all scrumptious!! My daughter got the bacon&cheese kolache and a chocolate muffin, and tried the cream cheese kolache and loved them all! We brought in bottled water but they do have coffee and sodas.“

“I have been trying to make it to this place for a while and I finally got over here. This black owned business is known for being one of a few places in Houston that sells Teacakes. They also sell cakes by the slice and you can place orders for whole cakes. And if you are last minute, you can always call and see what they have available. I came on a Thursday morning. (Yes random, but you have to do what you have to do because Saturday morning is chaotic). I ordered a box of tea cakes which is 12 for about $16 of the regular. And a package of the lemon tea cakes for about $4. And a slick of 7up cake which was an impulse buy, 7up cake! Oh my gosh! It was still warm from coming out the oven. Listen. I --- yes. That's the answer. just go get one. The tea cakes were consistent and if you need a foundation for tea cakes this is a good place to start.“

“Ordered through DoorDash and saw that there would be an hour wait for delivery, I didn't care and ordered anyways. When the food arrived, it was still HOT and it tasted as if it was literally made when I ordered it. The Pupusas revueltas were good, but the chicharron con queso were even better. My favorite dish though was the chicken tamal. It's hard for me to find a good salvi tamal that tastes fresh and delicious. I've tried a ton of different restaurants so I can definitely taste when they've been thawed and reheated. That was not the case with this place. FRESH! FRESH! FRESH! I'm bookmarking this location lol“

“My company supplied delicious cakes and cookies from this black owned business in Houston. I'm really impressed by the food but also the details the owner has taken the time to add to their business. I love nearby and will certainly be ordering from here in the future.“

“Amazing food! the horchata was so freaking good I ended up gluping it down and getting a second one before my food even arrived. ( the food arrived quickly , I'm just saying that horchata was delicious. ) the salsa was warm and spicy but it burned so good. the food was just like grandma used to make but better. The pan ducle was really good as well. the empanadas were so yummy and soft.“

“I like this bakery a lot but the only reason I gave it. The four star rating is because the atmosphere issue. I only know a little bit of Spanish, but I am learning more as the time goes on and I had some people of the community say some horrible things about me in Spanish and the cashier did not really care or maybe they did but they didn’t do much about the situation and, I know how the individual might feel because I have worked in customer service before and I know how difficult it is to manage irritable customers, but I still feel sad about the entire ordeal. That kind of makes me clear from certain areas if the customers are like that.Vegetarian options: its a bakery so lots of breadParking: great amount of spaces since its next to a banquet hallKid-friendliness: good for family“

“Had a large order that wasn't filled until I arrived but man that lady was fast and efficient. Great food especially the Menudo. You won't be disappointed.I had a large order that wasn't fulfilled until I arrived, but that lady was quick and efficient. Excellent food especially the Menudo. You will not be disappointed.“

“My go to place for cupcakes. My family and I have been visiting throughout the years (since original location) and have tasted practically every flavor that they have to offer. Service is okay- sometimes they are friendly and other times they seem like they want to get you in and out.“

“this is one of my favorite bakeries in the world. I have tried a lot of different bakeries in the Houston area this year recently. I would highly recommend the Jell-O and their cookies because they are so pretty. I love how nice the employees are and I feel like a very respected customer even on my first time there.I definitely want to keep coming back and if you live around here, I think you need to be a regular. This place is miles away from where I live in and I wish there was one near me.Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options like cakes, donuts, bread, etc.Parking: TONS of space its awesome this place needs to be more busy in my opinion“

“(Translated by Google) The bread was 100% good, but they should be a little more presentable by putting the bread in a box, not in a garbage bag. It seems that we went out to throw garbage.(Original)Estaba bueno el pan 100% pero deberían de ser un poquito más presentables en poner el pan en una caja no en una bolsa de basura. Parece que salíamos a botar basura.“

“They sure can clear a room! Those girls are quick quick quick!!! Great team work. No having 2 wait for things. Oh yes went in the morning time. You know....the going 2 school and work rush. I go there pretty regular now.My grandsons turned me on to them. As a matter of fact it was his idea for breakfast! Haven't been disappointed yet. And get a card have it stamped every time u go & get free after so many visits.Enjoy.Later.....“

“This is the best Kolache factory I have ever been too. I stopped here today during spring break on the way yo Sylvan Beach and the man an woman working there aroun 1:49pm were so kind, patient, and helpful. The kolaches fresh and they heated them up for us. Will definately make stopping here a tradition.?“

“I came here expecting to get breakfast, but found out they don't serve breakfast. That's ok because I got the French Dip with potato salad. When I tell you I have never had a better sandwich in my life, I'm not exaggerating! I have been to many places in this world and this sandwich was hands down just amazing! The potato salad was also some of the best I've ever had! Even though I didn't get what I was expecting, I was so happy to be surprised with this delight! I'll be a regular when I come to Houston!!“

“Excellent selection of food and sweet bread.I always order my favorite a taco of " carne guisada " . I only order one for me, it's well served. Even on an empty stomach that fills me up. Place is clean and well kept. I've been visiting for at least 36 years. Even though I've moved far away. When I'm in the area I definitely come and visit.“

“Michael's cookie jar has solid standard cookies that taste like they came from your kitchen. They're no frills and don't have all the fancy wild flavors that some shops have, but they're a great option when you're looking for the classics. They have all the classic flavors you'd expect - chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia, peanut butter, m&m, oatmeal raisin, etc. The cookies have the chewy soft texture that I'm a fan of.“

“Today was our 1st visit and we will be back! I was in search of another local coffee shop for me and my oldest child (11) to get a change of scenery for her homeschool time, and my remote job. We live in Friendswood, this was an easy 20 minute drive. Very nice, quaint location in the heart of Pasadena; generous portion sizes on the food offerings. We both had an iced latte and she enjoyed the chocolate chip banana nut muffin - she was impressed it was fresh pieces of banana. The chorizo breakfast taco was so flavorful and well seasoned, we ended up purchasing a 2nd one. The two baristas on staff were kind and helpful and treated my daughter like an adult customer - engaging with her and calling her ma’am. She even wanted to thank them personally before we left for their great customer service. We visited for nearly 2 hours and it was a lovely escape. I know where to go now when we need another midweek change of pace.“

“My husband picked me up a couple of beautiful small cakes from Cupcakes and a Smile today. I don't typically indulge but I couldn't resist. The strawberry cupcake was incredibly moist and perfectly balanced, topped with a cream cheese frosting that wasn't overwhelming. Delicious and decorated so adorably for V-day. I can't wait to share the chocolate cake!“

“I love this bakery. I would like them to put one in Sugerland. I'm passing through my work. I am addicted to their tamales, my daughters to their desserts, my wife to their bread. Excellent and very good variety for different types of tastes.“

“1st time visit those employees team are friendly and smiley and motivation I was picking up a fundraiser order for SHHS Cheer for my sisters cheer team and came early since it’s less busy in the mornings and I had to work tonight and they asked me “ where you work at” so I work at car wash and some thing about getting upgrades that sounds kind of exciting employees are really helpful but I don’t know what’s their name that I was talking to I wasn’t really paying attention to their name tag like around 11:15am at 10-18-2023 i’m giving them girls 5 stars that kind of makes me happy and motivating ?“
