Ordering the cake was easy! We taste tested the cupcakes before ordering. It took about 20 minutes to talk to the baker to communicate the design that we wanted. They did everything we asked them to do. The cake turned out beautiful and we received many, many compliments on the cake tasting delicious! Lastly, they delivered on time! Thank you so much!
Great place to go eat a quiet meal. To quiet, could use some music to drink out other folks conversations. Very Njce Bistro like place
My wife and I LOVE this bakery!! The workers here are very sweet and friendly. My wife and I tasted a strawberry filled cake at a church picnic and have fallen in love with the cake. We order the same cake every time. I have been fortunate to enjoy three different cakes from this bakery and they have all been delicious.This bakery is s winner for sure!!!
The BEST bakery for your event! Custom designs are beautiful and cake tastes great!
Not real impressed and kind of expensive . $14 and some change for a Turkey Sandwich and coffee. The sandwich was the typical Oscar Mayer Turkey lunch meat with Swiss, lettuce and one small thin half moon tomato slice on each sandwich half. It came with a bag of chips and that was nice. The bread was the winner and why I gave 2 stars. The wheat bread was fresh and perfectly toasted and crisp when bitten into. I have never had toast like that. Kind of skimpy on the Turkey meat. Not worth $14 reminded me of a sandwich you would get in a 1950s diner. they would not refill my coffee which I thought was weird. Got a brownie and scone to go and that was over$7.00The brownie was sort of stale and crumbly and the scone went straight to the trash. It was stale! Very old tasting and hard and just fell to pieces. It was like I had carried it around in my purse for a month. I am not sure if I will give them another try. Please refill the coffee
The chocolate cake was awful, super dry and chalky. The icing was nice but who wants to just eat icing. The detail of the decorations was non existent. A honeycomb cake with bees that were merely yellow ovals that had eyes and a few stripes. A joke and overall a waste of money.There were two cakes originally ordered. One was cancelled and the beehive was kept although it was changed to a chocolate icing. What does the cancellation have to do with anything anyway. Does that mean short notice cakes are made to a lower standard. Or does that mean because we had made changes that we deserved to get a cake to a lower standard.As much effort as is placed on responding to honest critiques should be placed into baking. The confrontational response seems like a reflection of the kind of customer service you can expect.
This bakery has such phenomenal customer service, everyone is so sweet and I will definitely continue to bring my services here. The quality of the food and pastries are 10/10! Would definitely recommend everyone to have a try!
What a great find! Driven past this location many times thinking it was only a bakery. Had lunch there and it was delicious! I recommend the Cuban...
This is a great lunch and bakery spot! Food is consistent and priced reasonably. Ive eaten lunch here many times and order cakes for special occasions. I highly recommend.
2nd review: I dig how they updated the space, as it is much warmer now more seating options. Had the Cuban again w a white bean soup and both were fantastic...as the chunks of bacon in the soup were a hit. The oatmeal cookie I finished w was tasty but wish it had been a little more moist. Still, can’t wait to come back.1st review: Passed this bakery for years and finally tried it on recommendation and WOW! Best Cuban sandwich Ive had since trip to Miami...quaint little place, amazing pastries and small lunch menu that packs a tasty punch. Cant wait to come back.
Great breakfast! Baked goods were exceptional.
Two visits in one ! First and last ! Arrived around 10:40. The sign said Breakfast served till 11:00. We wanted to try a Cuban Sandwich from the lunch menu. Lady advised we couldnt get it. We ordered 2 (small ) cinnamon rolls, and 2 cookies. The driest, most stale tasting pastries I have ever had ! Almost $13 for something we ended up throwing away. Will not be back !
This has been our go-to spot for lunch during the pandemic! I have so many favorites! You cant go wrong with any of the soups and love taking some home for later. Check out the entree specials especially the butter chicken, frito pie, meatloaf, pot roast, and anything with their hummus. Did I mention beignets on Sunday? And cinnamon rolls warmed with a pat of butter on top...and the peanut butter cookies...and the chocolate pie?
Lovely customer service. The oatmeal was bland and the breakfast tacos are mediocre. Would suggest a little menu revamp.
The coffee is super, and the pastries are delightful. If youre feeling adventurous you should try the chocolate covered bacon! The service is wonderful and personalized. It is a fantastic neighborhood gem!
Francis is beyond amazing. You just tell her your vision and she makes magic happen. She made my wedding cake Exactly how I wanted it and envisioned it! The designs to how amazing it tasted I give this a MILLIONS star if I could! Dont go anywhere else but this place. Francis thank you for making my DREAM Wedding Cake!
GREAT place! The food is very good and the staff make you feel like family. My personal favorites are the 1/2 sandwich (turkey & Swiss and the tuna) with a cup of soup, chicken and dumplins, red beans & rice, and frito pie. The soups are especially good. Also dont miss the pot roast and meat loaf specials.NOTE: You will have really missed the boat if you dont have one of the fabulous desserts!!! Did I mention the Cinnamon rolls and cakelettes?
This place is FABULOUS! Great food, great desserts!
Loved the omelet and the bread was amazing! Games to play while wait so great for families.
This is a great cafe. I dined in and was immediately met with smell of delicious pastries. I ordered a salad and chicken salad sandwich. They got my order wrong but graciously corrected it. Great customer service. Very cozy feel. The servers greeted many people by name who came in. I also had a Rocky mountain chocolate chip cookie and it was so delicious!!! I worked for about 3 hrs..great spot to work and fast wifi!
Picked up a strawberry fields cake on short notice for my daughters birthday. Great service and the cake was excellent.
They have excellent customer service and the food and pastries is fresh and delicious.
As a Chef, I always appreciate the amazing pastries/desserts that are made in World Catering Bakery-simply delicious!!
Stopped in for lunch. Ordered a turkey and swiss sandwich with pasta salad. There was nothing special about the sandwich. Its something you could make at home. I disliked the pasta salad because there was a lot of olives. If you like olives, youll love the pasta salad. The only reason Im giving 4 stars is because of the service. The staff was incredibly nice. I may not stop in for lunch in the future but I will to try a dessert.
We married at the Pelazzio and World Catering Bakery delivered our cakes for the wedding. They did a great job and we received a lot of compliments on how good the cakes actually tasted. It was good to work with them and Frances really decorated the cake how I imagined it!Everything was organized well and tasted great!
I love their cakes, the variety of different flavors.The cookies are A +.👏👏👏 💖💖💖
Amazing pastries, bread and food.
The best vanilla rum cakes absolutely delicious picked them up on a whim for a co workers birthday lunch. What a hit it was everyone made the day so much sweeter.
I Stumbled upon this place. We got the strawberry cake. Yum it was Very Good. I think it has like a raspberry flavor. They did a great job decorating it for me. They made it pink for my daughters birthday with beautiful gold letters! Priced Just Right
We got our wedding cake from here and it turned out absolutely perfect! Frances is really sweet and ordering the cake was totally hassle free. We went in for a tasting and gave Frances a photo of the cake we wanted. It ended up looking better than the photo and tasted great! Will definitely order from here again. Highly recommend this place.
Food is great but a bit pricey. I work up the street and always used to eat there by myself or with my team. However, the menu never changed. Same menu for the past 2 years or more. It would be great to see some new menus items. I know they’ve got the potential to do so.
First time stopping by, will definitely return. Desserts were delicious and great variety from vegan to sugar free. Friendly staff.
The Breakfast Sandwich is awesome. This place has been around since 89. They serve breakfast and lunch. Update: The fish and chips lunch special is worth the trip! Delicious!
Awesome customer service and the treats were always delicious. If you dont go for anything else, go for the customer service. 👍🏾
Cute clean space much larger than I would have thought for a bakery... quiet when I got there, it was late in the afternoon and close to closing time, but still super friendly. Tried the eclair which was custard filled and so awesome almost forgot to take a pic... also tried the mini cookies for variety but didn’t find them as good as the eclair, maybe the full sized cookies would have been better... or maybe if I didn’t just have the amazing eclair first... wait did I say anything about just how fricken fabulous the eclair was?!? 😜😅😊
Had my wedding cake made here. Very happy with how my cake turned out(in both taste and appearance)! I loved how there were many varieties of cake, filling and icings to choose from, as well as styles. I did not have a traditional white wedding cake. I had a smaller wedding and this bakery was one of the few places that offered smaller sizes, while still being tiered, and being well decorated! Besides cake, they also have delicious cookies, sweets and savory food! Highly recommend this bakery for events and if youre hungry!
You will love these cakes, it all started when my mom from out of town wanted to buy me a cake, she by luck found this place driving to wall-mart and got me a chocolate cake.... All my friends were impressed on how amazing the cake tasted!!! since then my whole group of friends get them from this place, including me!Another good thing is that we are supporting a local business! I tried the Cesar salad for lunch and it was amazing.You wont be disappointed and prices are very fair for the quality.Parking is always available and free.Hope it helps!
Had my wedding cake made here. Cake was delicious and wonderfully decorated was not disappointed and so glad they understood my vision.
The Texas barbecue burger on Texas toast is phenomenal
I love their bakery... great pies and other desserts. And while their burgers werent bad, they werent great. But overall, I recommend the place.
Really fabulous place; what a great discovery. You walk in to the section with the baked goods all displayed in a glass case, and over the counter are the menus. They serve breakfast and lunch; order at the counter, pay at the till, and then find a place to sit in the pretty large eating area to the left of the entrance. Everything we tried was stellar - an excellent Cuban sandwich, quite possibly the best sweet potato fries Ive ever had (when judged on both flavour and crunchability), and then some tasty treats that we took home and had later. You can tell when a baked good has been made with high quality ingredients, and these sure had! Coffee was a little lacklustre, but they get a pass on that because everything else was so fab. Friendly service and a nice place to eat, and we love the emphasis on world cuisines. They even had Aussie lamingtons! Possibly the only place in Houston to do so. Well definitely return!
I love their breakfast tacos and desserts!! Very very delicious. Definitely worth a stop to have a quick bite!
Good quality and the place is excellent
THANK YOU for an absolutely superb job on the Minions Cake you prepared for my son. It was awesome and really delicious!!! Minion was so cute and artistically done, like real toy. The cake was so great to look at, that we even hated to cut them)))) Several people have since told me that the cake was the best they’ve ever seen for kids parties. Thanks again for all that you did in helping to make our birthday party that much more special!!!!
I come here on my lunch break at least once a week and sometimes again with my coworkers. Aside from the friendly staff and comfortable ambiance, the food is amazing. Husband and wife own and operate the business as the cook and baker. You can taste the quality. I love this place!
Hands down the best cake in town! We have been ordering from these guys for years and they never dissapoint. Always fresh, moist, and worth every penny. I recommend these guys to anyone in the Houston area. They are not just a bakery, but have great food items as well.
Always great and very nice. Bakery is awesome as well
Everything that Ive tried there as been really good. Have not tried the lunch but will go back
My new go to place in Spring Branch. Whether I pop in for the All American for breakfast, the chicken salad sandwich for lunch, or just a cup of coffee, a piece of pie and Internet access between seeing clients ... the food is always delicious and the staff is wonderful. They have daily specials listed on the chalk board outside. You should see and taste their wedding cakes. A great little place you have to try! You wont regret it.
Chef Frances is wonderful with our wedding cake. I have never used her before and I was a little nervous so she was so sweet and made me a small sample cake of our wedding cake a month before our wedding. That made me feel a lot better. On the day of our wedding it was amazing! We got the raspberry white cake and also a tier of her Italian cream cake and they were both sooo yummy. Was very happy with her artistic work and I like the fact that she cares about her product. Will use her again!!
Service is excellent even when they are busy. Ive had nothing but pleasant experiences here and plan to keep coming back. It has a cool feel to it.
Enjoy fresh food, variatey of choices and friendly staff. And plenty of tempting sweets!!
This place is amazing! Ive gotten my sons birthday cake from here 2 years in a row and both times the cake was excellent. The cupcakes are incredible too. I had the raspberry filled white cake with butter creme icing this year! My cake decorations I ordered online got lost in the mail and they decorated his cake last minute for me and it was so cute!
Great bakery. Delicious bread and cookies. Breakfast is great too.
Through our venue, world catering bakery was the one to do our wedding cake. Let me tell you, our wedding cake was major hit! All of our guest loved it! My husband and I decided to have 3 different flavors in our wedding cake. The top tier was Italian cream cheese, the 2nd was red velvet & the 3rd was vanilla bean rum (my husband’s favorite!). I provided the flowers & cake topper. They did an amazing job arranging the flowers creating a beautiful cascading looking! During our cake tasting we were able to taste so many flavors & they were all very very good! The cake itself was very moist and flavorful! We had guest texting us & asking where did our cake come from. Seriously the best cake we’ve ever had! We saved the top tier for our wedding anniversary and I may just have to go back & get my husband his own tier with his favorite flavor! THANK YOU!
I should have took a photo of the food but it was too good to interrupt. Looking forward to returning with my coworkers. Feels like a cafe in Phoenix that I enjoyed visiting.
A friend and I came for a late lunch. The food was delicious and the overall experience was great. Maybe the best tomato florentine soup Ive had.My one issue and its big at least to me. We sat at the counter and the owner or maybe manager greeted us and looked at my friend in the face and asked her what she wanted to drink. My friend told her what she wanted and the woman walked away. What about me? Just because Im over 60 and maybe not so attractive anymore doesnt mean Im invisable.I was clearly sitting next to the person she addressed. Please be kind to all your customers. Ill be back.
They made my wedding cake and the grooms cake. Everything looked great! My husband is an Army Veteran, so they made an Italian Cream Cake (his favorite) with the Army seal on top and chocolate covered strawberries all around. Both cakes were delicious and beautiful. I will definitely use them again for any special events.
Outstanding bakery cafe!!Breakfast tasty and all the family loved their sugar-free (honey) carrot cookies. Our group also tested the cinnamon bun and other cookies. All excellent!Plan = will be back again and again and again ... :-)
Best bakery ever. I can remember when Mrs. Francis and her husband first opened up their bakery. It was such a small cozy place with great cakes and great food. Now they have expanded and have a bigger place with alot more seating. Their desserts are still delicious and their food is still out of this world. Their tres leches cake is to die for and their mousse crunch is sooooo delicious. Another delicious food they serve is their celery soup...my wife is a fan!!! All of their cakes are great like the banana split and italian cream. I recommend this location to everyone. You will receive the best service ever the best food and dessert. Come and give this bakery a try and I promise you wont regret it...Mrs. Francis and her husband are the best ever.
Great food and customer service. We come to World Catering often and I usually order the Cuban sandwich for lunch. We also come here for their fabulous cakes and pastries. Overall a great restaurant!
Great local, quiet, clean, tasty place to eat. All food is delicious as well as the numerous desserts offered. Staff is very helpful and friendly.
World Catering did our wedding cakes (a traditional white and a chocolate grooms cake) and they were absolutely fantastic. I had a great consultation and tasting with Frances before booking, and she listened to all of my ideas. She made some sugar/marzipan fruits for the brides cake that looked so realistic we couldnt tell at first which of the fruits were real and which were made by Frances. The grooms cake was stunning and the chocolate was so rich and delicious. The cakes were both moist, the icing not insanely sweet (we used buttercream, not fondant), and the cake was delivered on time at the venue. Ive never used their catering, but I can confidently say that the cakes part of the business is worth seeking out.
They dont have pies or cakes I went there I was very dispointed I will never go back
They make the best cakes and the most delicious pastries.
I had a cousin come into town and asked me to take him back here. Prices were decent. Feels like a cafe in Phoenix that I enjoyed visiting.
They have been in business for a while, beautiful eatable creations and seasonal cookies. Many people order birthday cakes. French style bakery.
I went to eat breakfast in the morning and I was very satisfied with the food. The thing that threw me off was the young cashier she was a total Debby downer and not welcoming at all. She totally messed up my experience:(.
Everything I have had from here was great.
I want to get information about ordering a birthday cake for daughters birthday party. The guy from the counter was very friendly, but who ever was in charge didnt evening bother to come and ask what kind of cake I want, but thats OK I wont be ordering no cake from here. Not a good experience at all
I just love the Lemon Tarts! They are Scrumptious!
Did not like the service. The oatmeal was way to much and thick. The potato and egg taco was dry and a little over cooked, and the flour tortilla was definitely store bought. The owner put honey in my sons hot chocolate and the coffee was sour. Worst of all the owner would not give me my money back from the oatmeal and my son who is sick only took two bits of it. Thats like $4 in the trash. Im still waiting and its been an hour fighting for my money back. The owner said there nothing wrong with it so she cant give me my money back.
If you havent ordered a cake from them then you havent had a GREAT cake, and you paid to much for the one you did buy regardless of whether you need a 9 inch round or an 8 tier wedding cake to serve 500 guest these guys are NULLI SECUNDUS (Second to None)!There cafe is small and quaint and there food is amazing! If you dont like noisy restaurants with 6 page menus of all the same Sysco food you had yesterday just walk in order the daily special at the counter and whatever they bring to your table will be the best meal youve had in months!Their roast pork tenderloin will make you slap your grandmother for even thinking she knew how to make a pork roast!Great place for a quiet business lunch meeting, or dash in for a quick, healthy lunch while your out shopping and running errands.#FoodisLoveP.S. Please dont slap your grandmother after eating here!😁❤😁
I had the shepherds pie. It was really really good. Not a huge serving, but just right for lunch. But it isnt McDonalds prices. So be prepared.
Cozy little place with a pretty good breakfast. Love their hash browns.
Got my wedding cake here in 2015. It was amazing inside and out. SO TASTY! I am coming back again to get a cake for my moms 50th. Also her food is awesome!
Always fresh ....great food and bakery !!
Came in on a weds. prices are appropriate. feels similar to a restaurant in new york i loved.
I love this place. Great meals, coffee and bakery goods.
Delicious selection of pastries and bread. Small but filling selection for breakfast. Can not wait to order a speciality cake. Vanilla rum is high on my list.
This is a truly hidden gem 😘. The variety of pastries is awesome. My absolute favorite were the Alfajores. They literally melt in your mouth. The staff is very friendly, will certainly be coming back for more.
My fiancé and I went in yesterday to do our cake tasting and met with Frances. She was very sweet and helped us come up with our dream cake. I loved the different cakes that we tasted and I learned more and more about what I was supposed to do with the top cake and other wedding traditions. Thank you Frances. We really enjoyed the experience and it is a moment we can keep a lifetime 😊
A simple, yet delicious breakfast sandwich. A relaxing, slow paced eatery with care and courtesy.
Wow! Frances is an unbelievable wedding cake basket. Could not finish all the cake samples!!
Breakfast tacos to die for! They carry Katz coffee. It was delicious!
Charming little bakery. There pastries are to die for. I also frequently pop on from time to time for breakfast and luck everything tastes homemade and fresh. In this day and age its difficult to find a neighborhood bakery. Check out this gem. You wont regret ir.
