I have to agree with some of the less than positive reviews. This place was my morning go-to spot when my partner and I moved to Montrose in 2007. The donuts were fresh. The service was friendly. Recently I've too noticed that the quality is suffering. The filled donuts have little filling, or filling that isn't equally distributed throughout the donut. The ham and cheese kolaches aren't nearly as good as they once were, often undercooked and microwaved to within an inch of their life. The interior has always been old, but it's not as clean as it used to be. Please return Christy's to its former glory as I'd hate to see this place shut down.
As someone who's worked in many restaurants that have scored wonderfully on the Health Department's tests, I can tell you that cockroaches are unfortunately a pest in most restaurants they don't necessarily indicate a lack of hygiene.
Another douche hangout parading as authentic Mexican food. Any real Mexican can tell the difference. You're not fooling anyone when there's a Taqueria on nearly every corner in Houston. $8.00 for chips and salsa is outrageous, but there's a sucker out there that will pay for it.
Every Saturday, my partner and I go to Crave Cupcakes in the Woodway/Memorial area. We hopped on the cupcake craze when it first came to town and have had some good experiences and some not-so-good ones, however Crave has quickly become our favorite.
The cupcakes are decorated simply, yet elegantly. The decor inside the business is very modern and also reflects the simple and elegant design of the cupcakes. From the outside, one may initially sense pretension that unfortunately comes with many places in the area. However, when Holly greets you by name as you walk in, you realize that no such pretension exists in this business. Most importantly though, the cupcakes are awesome. The cake itself is always moist and fresh. The banana cupcake is quite possibly the best cupcake I've ever had. I can't wait until this Saturday.
