Absolutely loved this place. Walked 20 mins just to go here, and it was worth the 10,000 steps. I had an exceptionally good spinach quiche and an almond croissant. The croissant was ok but the quiche was divine. Will come again.

Great customer service experience. After placing my order, they provided a paging device to let me know when it’s ready. Wait time for my order is always reasonable. They do a consistently fantastic job with their Blueberry Cream Cheese Croissant and no matter how many times I try it, the flavor, taste, and ingredients are always of the highest quality. The atmosphere is well designed with indoor and umbrella-covered outdoor seating. The parking area is limited but I feel it’s well worth the challenge to visit this establishment.

Been here plenty of times and although they stay busy most mornings. The service or quality of the food has never suffered. This is a gem in Houston! Plus they're next door to an awesome plant shop!

Super cute spot with a huge assortment of items. It has a very authentic French atmosphere and lots of plants and art around the cafe. Tons of coffee options, lots of egg scrambles, and literally every pastry you can image. My favorite items so far have been the Croque Madam, butter croissants, and their breakfast quiches. Lots of parking in the lot, and it is a great place to bring your computer and do some remote work as well. Definitely adding this to my rotation.

Absolutely everything is delicious! I don't want to say too much for fear of missing out on my favorite pastries. They serve Italian coffee and breakfast all day. Absolutely worth a visit! Heads up: no restrooms available

I love exploring new spots for breakfast, and French Riviera did not disappoint. I was impressed by the cozy atmosphere and welcoming vibe. The menu had a great selection, and everything I tried was delicious – the pastries were fresh, the coffee was perfect with a cute on it, and the overall experience was a real treat.

Fantastic experience! The avocado melted in my mouth like cotton candy. Literally the best avocado I've ever eaten. Chai latte presentation was gorgeous. Bread was crunchy & fresh. Loved the atmosphere with all the greenery. Highly recommend.

If you're in Houston and looking for a delightful dining experience, I can't recommend the French Riviera Bakery Cafe highly enough! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a cute and inviting atmosphere that exudes a charming European vibe. It truly feels like a little slice of France in the heart of Texas! The breakfast options are fantastic, making it a perfect spot to kick start your day. The coffee is exceptional—each sip transports you back to our time living in Europe, with rich flavors that are so reminiscent of authentic cafes. Both the presentation and the taste are top-notch, leaving you eager to return for more. I highly recommend trying their vegetable omelette, which is not only delicious but also beautifully crafted. The Quiche Lorraine is a must-try, and the croissants and baguettes are genuinely Parisian, flaky and buttery, just like you would find in a quaint cafe in France. Whether you're dining in or taking out, this place is perfect for gatherings with family and friends. It’s a cozy spot that invites conversation and good company. Each visit feels like a mini-vacation abroad. Don’t miss out on this delightful gem while you're in Houston!
