EVERYTHING ALWAYS AMAZING!! The best barista ever There is nothing there that is bad to eat. one of my favorites it the individual quiche

It's fall in Houston so you know what that means, dining alfresco before 11 when the heat reminds you that it's still October in Houston. I swear their croissants rival those monstrosities we saw everyone eating at the '24 Olympics in Paris! But these haven't lost their buttery deliciousness that so many do. My go to splurge is chocolate & almond croissants with a prosciutto and Parmesan sandwich to take home. The croissants can easily feed 4 each if you want to calorie count or take home and serve to overnight guests. The sandwich: I'm not telling you that you have to share but, you can. It's also one that can feed 4 for a light lunch with tomato basil or French onion soup. Make sure you visit this little gem.

A gem of an enterprise, run by a wonderful couple who are always front and center, supported by a warm and professional staff. Standouts are their croissants and pan-au-chocolat, their sandwiches (the ham and cheese is a work of art, albeit consisting of nothing but what the title says). The patisserie items (cream cakes, tarts, eclairs . . .) are lovely. And they make a cup of coffee that makes Starbucks pale in comparison! They get VERY busy at weekends, serving "sit down" breakfasts and lunches. The business is very successful, and deserves to be, for it is one of the very few places where I can honestly say I have never visited and not been completely satisfied, and made to feel valued as a customer. Please give them a try. There aren't many places of this caliber about in Houston generally, and West Houston in particular.

I'm mad at all of you because this place is amazing and no one told me! The food was as close to perfect as I've had in years. The staff was prompt and extremely friendly. We asked for some recommendations and every one hit it out of the park. Not only do they have a beautiful pastry counter, but they have a small menu. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Crepe which was full of pesto/cheese goodness. The person behind the counter recommended a Pistachio Croissant - all I can say is "wow!" It was too much food for just me. I could have easily split the crepe with my daughter. The food was as delicious as it was beautiful. The ambiance is great, but inside dining is a little small (like any cafe). My family of four managed to cobble together a couple tables, and the patrons were kind and accommodating. Coming here today really took the sting out of losing power during Beryl. This is definitely going to be a regular stop for our family.

With all the power being out, Maurice and his team certainly rose to the occasion. His small cafe, both inside and outside, was packed. How have I NOT visited Maurice before? Shame on me! Conservatively I shall declare: "These were the best damn pastries I have ever eaten!' Must have been a stick of butter in each flaky delight! Tons of fruit and absolutely exquisite. I've been eating Kolaches for years, but that's behind me now! I brought home a box of Maurice pastries, placed them on a platter and served them to my bride. After 2 bites I asked her, "So, how are they?" "Mmmmpf! Groooddd!" was her reply. She concurs that these are the BEST pastries we have ever enjoyed! (A bit pricey but his rent must look like a telephone number!) Cannot wait to try their lunch sandwiches! Keep up the GREAT Work Maurice!

This is a busy busy cafe. At 9:30am on a weekday, the cafe was already filled with people. Their display cases were filled with beautiful pastries and stuffed sandwiches. I came here specifically for their pastries. The tarts had such beautiful glaze on them that they were screaming out to me to buy them. I got the fruit tarts and lemon tart which weren't too sweet. I got the apple pie tart too which had perfect crust, and wasn't sweet. I love the shaved chocolates on top of the croissant, and the amount of chocolate in the croissant was perfect. But the chocolate croissant was not buttery enough. I love the small outdoor seating area which is decorated with pretty flowers and plants. There are a few seatings inside the cafe too. There is ample parking in front of the cafe and there is garage parking at the back too.

Katy's and my favorite French cafe. When the owners see me coming, they asked ham and cheese? Yes, it's my go-to sandwich. There is something about their baguette made on the premise that keeps me coming back. The cafe is always busy, has outside seating but you must get there early on the weekends if you want to sit and enjoy people watching.

Cute and charming place that makes you feel like you're in a cafe in Paris. Excellent service. Delicious, fresh food! I had a prosciutto , mozzarella, basil, tomato, pesto sandwich served on the most scrumptious baguette! I'll be back to try everything else!

Perfect spot for a coffee date with a friend! I went here for the first time and I'm hating myself for not coming here before. It's small inside but once you see all the pastries, sweets and sandwiches you'll feel like you're in heaven. The serve strong Illy drip coffee that you might not even need a refill. Can't wait to come back very soon.
