Best Coffee Shops in Houston (According to Me) Finding a good coffee outside of Italy (ok maybe Europe) can be quite the task. Luckily for us coffee lovers in Houston we have quite a wide variety of coffee shops that do our favorite cup of warmth justice! When weaving through the city on a busy …
Macaron Party
I’ve been wanting to learn how to make Macaroons for a while now and became really excited when I saw Sur La Table offers an at home macaron baking kit! Ideally I would love to have some friends over for tea and serve them these delicious home made french meringue cookies, but I think I’ll …
Caffe Affogato: A Drowned Ice Cream Dessert

Drexel House, Houston Decor
Drexel House is a welcomed addition to the Houston food scene. Since discovering it, everyone that visits me in Houston gets treated to what has become my favorite cafe and restaurant. The lunch menu offers a delicious range of Italian inspired fare “from unique panini’s and sandwiches to kraft nepolitana pizzas. The dinner menu provides a contrast to their daytime menu, from braised lamb shanks, to charred octopus, to a mole accented filet”. Drexel recently added a brunch menu for the weekend and other than the mimosas, their “three little pigs” breakfast sandwich has become a favorite.
Decor wise I love the neutral white, beige and light grey tones. The entirety of the dining area is surrounded by windows allowing a great light to flow in and the feel that you are dining outside on the patio while still enjoying the cool AC inside [when summer hits Houston, thats a big plus]. One wall is is a giant chalkboard displaying the entire menu and the marble counter bar is perfect for grabbing one of their delicious Illy coffees and almond croissant.
