Nice little breakfast spot in the Heights.   The sausage and cheese Kolaches are good and everything else is pretty tasty too, but I would ask them to warm it up well, they don’t taste good cold.  The cinnamon rolls are so so good!

More fun than an actual good workout, but it was a nice activity to do with my little one.  He doesn’t get out much so it was nice to bring him out and have this alone time with him.  At 11 months he was the oldest baby there, mostly newborns, but it was ok that he was crawling around and getting into things. Everybody is very tolerant of children, obviously.  Cool, fun.

I loved it!  Awesome new HEB!  I actually came to visit because an officemate mentioned the poke at HEB.  Once I got there I was thinking, oh, it’s the supermarket sushi eeks!  But, I went ahead and got it, and I was surprised at how good it was.  I mean I had very low expectations, but it tasted great!  Avocado, seared tuna, fresh, good texture, and the sauce (original) was perfect! Yum, very good.  It was $10 after in store coupon, provided by HEB.  Great experience.

Wow this place has some really cool, authentic spices!   Go prepared for strong odors, it’ll knock you off your feet.  I think I spent less than a few minutes in this place and I walked out smelling like spices. But really cool place for spices.

Wow, this place was impressive!  I mean every square inch of wall space was taken by these cases of baked goods.  To say I was overwhelmed was an understatement!  I realized the popular 85C Bakery had a similar self-serve style where you pick up a large tray and tongs and have at it!  I did not know where to start, to be honest.  There were barely any labels and I had no idea what all the items were.  I had to look at what people were getting and I did recognize a few things like the churros, chocolate chewy cookie, coconut macaron, which I bought along with several other things.  

So I loved the authenticity of this place, mostly Latin customers, but I’ll be honest, I wasn’t that impressed with the pastries.  I only took a few bites of most of what I bought and will say, I have had much tastier experiences.  However, no horrible experiences, it was all decent, just have had better.  Anyway, that’s all I have to say about that...oh wait, one more thing...it was super inexpensive.  All of what I got, which were 2 bag fulls cost me $8.  Not a bad bakery for decent pastries. The wedding cookies were good.
