Best Breakfast in Houston | Eater Houston
"Breakfast is just the starting point at Ema, a newer Mexican bakery and cafe in Houston that garners lines extending outside 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 plenty of outstanding pastries. Try the French toast with brioche and hoja santa custard or the sweet papaya salad with yogurt and agave lime dressing for a dish you’ll remember Ema by." - Marcy de Luna
