Disappointing food & coffee, desserts not bad.
by mmargo

After hearing rave reviews, two friends and I went out of our way to get to the Dessert Gallery. Sadly, we decided to order food, instead of just dessert. The menu looks impressive, but the wraps were rather disappointing. (Although the cake was nice). The iced caramel latte I got was a poor excuse for coffee. It was made badly and the coffee lacked any flavor. Although the decor is adorable, I wouldn't recommend it.
- Pros: Decor
- Cons: Food, parking
Look Better than they taste

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!
Best Lemon Cake EVER

Dessert Gallery is a favorite place of mine when my sweet tooth kicks in. They have the best lemon cake I have ever had in my entire life. Sweet, and tart lemon curd filling with a perfect icing. I ordered cupcakes for my wedding from here and my guests loved them. Great size, quality and value for what I paid. The sandwiches here are amazing also. I recommend the Turkey Bombay. The staff is always very nice and generous!

I love this place the cookies are the best. Me and my co-worker love to get this as our treat for a sweet tooth. I love just about any of there dessert. We have order several cakes when we have birthday parties for our co-workers. I can not get enough of this place. I would recommend everyone to come here.
Best CupCakes EVER!!!

We ordered cupcakes for a co-workers baby shower. O.M.G. They were the best cupcakes EVER! We got the chocolate, raspberry & white cupcakes. While they were all good, the white one was the yummiest I have ever had, and I'm usually a fan of chocolate. I was in heaven the whole time. Definate Winner!
- Pros: Delish! Good for office gatherings, and very pretty
- Cons: A little pricey
Best Italian Cream Cake in Houston

For my birthday, I was in search of the "best Italian Cream cake" in Houston; and I believe I found it. The service was great - I ordered online and received a call the next day to confirm the order. The graphics online look like the actual cake. I expected a two layer cake and the cake was three...exceeding my expectations. The cake was so good guests took cake home, and I almost did not eat a slice.
great place to grab dessert

love how they display their cakes for all to see - quite an enticing eye-candy feast, indeed. they have an extensive list of desserts - mostly cakes. it's a real sweet tooth experience and definitely a place to go if you are still hungry after dinner. the ambience is fun-loving and laid-back ... like visiting a fond childhood memory. surely won't disappoint! hint: also a great date place*
- Pros: cakes galore!, fun-loving ambience
- Cons: parking

to bake a pretty cake. I've only tried the carrot cake, but it is the best I've EVER had. Huge, moist, and full of pecans. Good for special occasions (too expensive for evey day)
What a disappointment!

I heard about this wonderful new bakery with huge yummy cakes and wanted to try it out. I've been there 4 different times over an 8 month period because I hate to pass judgement on the off chance that I happened to have ordered the one thing on the menu that was bad. I have been consistently disappointed. 8..( I've tried about 10 different cakes -- not a pig, just brought friends so we could share and they were subpar. I don't think my standards are too high, they just all taste the same -- like sugared cardboard. Variety meant they added cocoa to the same recipe for chocolate and/or slapped on some flavored cream or icing. The nontraditional cakes were better but not fantastic either -- something I would pay $2 for at a supermarket when desperate.
- Pros: Nice service people.
- Cons: Bad dessert, expensive, no seating
