In Short – Sherbet-colored walls and paper butterflies on the ceiling create a whimsical atmosphere. The cafe menu features wraps, salads and sandwiches, including chicken salad studded with raisins, pecans and a hint of curry. Request the apple-raisin-pecan bread. Crumbled Fritos add crunch to the Southwest wrap. For dessert, there are cookies, pies, cheesecakes and cakes (whole or by the slice). The opera cake is a tower of sponge cake, espresso-spiked buttercream and fudge-mocha-flavored ganache.

Very good and friendly!

As an out of town customer, I was looking for a cake or two for my husband's dinner party in town. I was pleased to find a great website online before we went to Houston that outlined all of the prices and details that I needed. I could have even ordered it online and picked it up. But for fear of never being able to find it, I deceided to go to the store. It was alittle difficult to find, as the website had an old address and apparently the cafe moved a few streets down. However, when I walked in, I got great service. I ordered 2 whole cakes, the Oreo and the Chocolate Raspberry Sensation and was given frozen cakes for that evening (bc they were more fresh). The raspberry thawed in time and the Oreo had to stay chilled. I was a bit disappointed with the Oreo having thought there were Oreo's instead (and tere may have been but not in my piece) and would've probably been better with actual cake and not so much mousse. HOWEVER, the raspberry was sooo good! It was not dry like the previous review, so maybe the frizen ones are more fresh. The dinner guests loved the cake (and candles I got there) and so did my husband :) Will go back again!!!
- Pros: Great atmosphere, service and cakes
- Cons: Moved so GPS wouldnt pick it up and got old address from web

Look Better than they taste
by debiauggie at Citysearch
The desserts all look great, but I always find the cakes to be coarse and a little dry. I have eaten here 5 or 6 times. The frosting is always good but they could do much better on the cake batter. Every slice of cake I have ever bought has been very coarse and not light and fluffy. The cupcakes fare much better. Maybe the whole cakes are better.
- Pros: Great selection
- Cons: dry cake, had to wait in line for awhile at lunch

best cake ever!

Oh the cakes here are SO good. I have never had better. I haven't tried the food yet, but intend to. My sister and I shared a slice of chocolate cheesecake. My other sister had the classic diner cake. My brother had the strawberry cream cake. We couldn't keep our forks off each other's cakes! Definitely worth trying!
