The 22 Best Breakfast Spots in Houston

"Breakfast is just the starting point at Ema, a newer Mexican bakery and cafe in Houston that’s garnered lines extending outside of its doors. Following significant experiences in the worlds of coffee and taquerias, James Beard semifinalist Stephanie Velasquez and partners Nicolas Vera and Marlén Mendoza take the possibilities of corn seriously at this Heights outpost, where they illustrate the beauty of Mexican bread and dining by way of the country’s produce, grains, and native ingredients. The menu highlights Mexican foodways through delightful breakfast plates, refreshing coffee drinks and aguas frescas, and, of course, plenty of outstanding pastries, including its blue corn conchas, corn elotes, and cinnamon-sugary dougnuts." - Brittany Britto Garley, Sean Hekmat
