Epicure Cafe

I’ve been coming here for years and absolutely love it. The food (especially their dessert), staff, and atmosphere keeps me coming back. I typically get the Norwegian omelette or curry chicken and for dessert, I get the strawberry roll or alfajores. Everyone is super nice and the restaurant is very quaint and cozy, perfect to meet up with friends for brunch or some coffee and dessert.

Hi. I'm Dr. James Caplan from Helios. I eat at Epicure Cafe on a fairly regular basis. The service is great and personable, and the food is delicious. From the soups through the salads and entrees to the desserts, you cannot go wrong. As a weight loss physician, I can assure you that they have items to suit any of your nutritional plans. Just stay to the right of the glass display cases to avoid temptation.

Nestled in the heart of River Oaks within the bustling River Oaks shopping center, this café-persian bakery is an absolute gem. Its quaint charm is evident from the moment you step inside, and the offerings within are nothing short of delightful. Indulging in the array of cakes and Persian baked goods, I was treated to a culinary journey that left my taste buds dancing with joy. The standout, however, was the impeccable tea selection, which is served in the most elegant and ingenious tea infuser cups I've ever come across. During my visits, I had the pleasure of savoring the princess cake, rolled cake, napoleon cake, and strawberry cake. To say they exceeded expectations would be an understatement; each cake was a masterpiece of flavor and artistry. The café's popularity is evident, as it tends to be bustling with patrons. This only adds to the allure, as the consistently crowded space is a testament to the phenomenal quality of the food and experience. For those seeking traditional treats, the café boasts an assortment of cookies perfect for Persian New Year celebrations. The attention to cultural detail is truly commendable. Convenient parking, shared with Steinway Piano, adds a practical touch to the overall delightful experience. If you're looking for a charming café-persian bakery that delivers on both taste and ambiance, look no further than this hidden treasure in River Oaks.

The food is excellent. The Norwegian omelet is unlike any other omelet I've eaten in Houston. The service is good, but it is counter service with the exception of food delivery. Staff were friendly and able to answer my questions about the pastries. The atmosphere is also nice. One wall seems in need of aesthetic attention and the tables are close together. The conversation of other patrons was a bit overbearing due to the proximity of the tables.
