Lady M’s Largest, Most Luxurious Mille Crepe Cake Shop Is Open in Houston | Eater Houston
"This elegant Westchase cake shop — the brand's second Houston location and its largest U.S. outpost — specializes in signature mille crepe cakes made from 20 layers of paper-thin handmade crepes filled with light-flavored pastry creams. Core flavors include green tea, pistachio and the elaborate Checkered cake (chocolate and vanilla sponge diced and reassembled into a checkerboard), with rotating seasonal offerings such as guava laced with green tea, matcha-chocolate, and jasmine-calamansi. The serene, pearly-white dining room features crystal chandeliers, spacious booths, fresh-flower-adorned tables, stroller parking and a baby changing station designed to encourage guests to linger; a new beer-and-wine license allows cakes to be enjoyed with Champagne. Other offerings include eight Van Leeuwen ice cream flavors, coffee made with French Coperaco Cafe beans, teas by the cup or pot, and heat-friendly to-go items like bonbons and gummy bears. Founded in 2001 by Ken Romaniszyn, who blends Japanese flavors and sensibilities with French pastry technique, the shop aims to be a relaxed, family-friendly destination rather than a quick in-and-out takeout spot." - Brittany Britto Garley
