Like nothing ever happened...only took a year, but they are back up and in soft opening stage. Beef Pho has changed, no more Filet Mignon meat and everything else seemed super fatty. I think the honeymoon is over, but I still think it’s a great option for Vietnamese food.
Vibrant (Montrose)
I haven’t been back here since they opened and man, food is expensive for lunch. The it quality seems high, excellent choice for healthy food eaters...still mostly women patrons.
Blessington Farms (Fulshear-ish)
I loved it, it was great! My first time and 2 friends with kids also joined and they agreed, all loved it! I just wished we hadn’t had to leave. We were not quite prepared. Though they had 2 food trucks, looked like everyone else brought food and picnicked. Super fun, $20 per person, but really experience. Y most favorite part seeing my 2.5 year old picking fruit, we all really loved the experience! I would highly recommend.
Decadent Cafe & Dessert
Honestly, it was all just ok. My vanilla latte didn’t have that much character and the desserts looked ok. My breakfast croissant was good. All just status quo...
Blonde Pantry (Upper Kirby/West Ave)
Really I stopped in because I saw these super adorable succulents. The guy at the cashier says, we do sell those, but we actually sell food...made me laugh actually, and I decided to take a look, everything really just appealed to my simple design senses. The food looked great, I got the Chicken w/ Apple & Pecans, which was nice and clean. The chocolate chewy cookie he let me try was delicious, in a healthy way. So super cute, love this place! And I purchased 2 succulents and my bill came out to almost $100, yikes! One of the succulents was $55 in a glass casing, expensive but I couldn’t resist. I had a home just in mind for this one. The other itty bitty one was $22, so between the 2 plants that was most of it. Great place, I love it!
Melange Creperie
First time, can you believe? Well, at this location. I had been when the owner was ina cart on Westheimer. Super cool guy, very nice and personable. Very chic inside, and my Nutella and Strawberry crepe was nice.
Kraftsmen (Heights)
I like revisiting places I kind of had written off. Kraftsmen is one of those places. I’m really loving the building, especially after I had visited one of the businesses in it’s office spaces. Today back at Kraftsmen, I’m definitely feeling their vibe. Menu seems better too, 2 tacos and coffee for $10...I’m really liking those prices. Super comfortable inside, I could sit around awhile. I think they need to umph up the section with the long bench, and staff was kind of so so, but overall very nice atmosphere.
