“ A small bakery tugged away in a strip mall of spring branch. Good Mexican pastries for very reasonable prices! ”
“ Good and cheap. There is a $5 minimum to use your debit/credit card. If you don't speak Spanish, and aren't familiar with the various breads, bring a Spanish speaking friend. ”
“ Great selection of fresh baked goods. I have had the cupcakes, croissants and the donuts and they are wonderful - the croissants are huge! Perfect for a sandwich or a cup of coffee. ”
“ I'm not sure how often bread is replenished or if it's only replenished when it finishes but their churros we're so hard, they didn't scream freshness. I was disappointed to had drive 12 miles to get here. I guess Katy store it is! ”
