Reviews for Empire Café in Houston, TX
Outdoor patio is lovely with a relaxing and cool atmosphere. The size of portions were small, but the food tasted good. It?s not... very crowded during weekdays. Staff were friendly. Read more
This place is always super busy! They surprisingly have decent parking. It is counter service while seating is first come. The... wait to order is fairly long but not the wait to get your food/coffee. They have a great variety for brunch. I enjoyed myavocado toast and ice latte. My sister said her waffle could be crispier, but it was good. Read more
Finally got the chance to come and try this place out for breakfast and I was happy with it. My breakfast croissant could have... used a little something, not sure what but it was missing a bit and the potatoes were dry. Other than that the drinks came outfast and so did the food. The drinks were delicious, the place has ample seating inside and outside with fans and coolers. Read more
Went there around 8am, easy to find parking. It's a good place to start your day, have a cup of coffee and some breakfast. The... cookies that come with the coffee and tea taste like homemade. Not really a fan with the food l ordered, looks better than thetaste. Place is clean, vibe is good, staffs are friendly, overall it's a good place for a coffee or tea. Read more
Loved the outdoor patio and the atmosphere, but unfortunately wasn?t a huge fan of the food. The croissant was so-so but would... not recommend the chicken and waffles. My husband though that the toppings listed would come on top of the waffle, but insteadthey are cooked into the waffle which makes for a weird texture and consistency. Hot latte wasn?t very good and personally not afan of a hot beverage being served in a pint glass. I will say the staff was very friendly and service was quick, however withso many other options I don?t think we will return. Read more
Friendly staff. It?s a very chill vibe. The size of portions are definitely supported by their prices. My kids loved it. I... enjoyed it. Would definitely go again when back in Houston again. Read more
Wow i love the atmosphere of this place. The indoor seating is super comfy and you get a really good Cafe vibe. The staff was so... friendly and they were cracking jokes with us all night. The outdoor seating area is HUGE. There's tons of seating outdoors andin the back, it's hard to tell you're in a big city. The menu was large and they even had draft beer. Check this place out forbrunch. Read more
Empire has always been a pretty straightforward option in terms of quality, consistency, and options. Today though, I was... surprised out of my mind with this out of this world alchemical coffee concoction by Anita. It looked so good that I didn'teven want to touch it! It only took one sip for that thought to vanish and a minute or two for the drink to do the same.Delicious, smooth, not to sweet and just right. Thanks, Anita...you're the best. But you already know that. Read more
