I follow @beccacakeshtx on IG, so when she announced that she was opening a brick+mortar in the Heights, I was eager to check it out! So my fiancé and I dropped by and became instantly distracted (in a good way) by wanting to browse the shop and take photos! The aesthetic is very simple, clean, and modern. This is also represented in her cakes, desserts and decor!
I have a weakness for cute packaging, attention to detail, and adding that personal touch to your desserts, and Becca does it with sophistication!! Staff is helpful + friendly.
We ordered half dozen macarons + two cupcakes! I was so distracted and not paying attention, that I ordered a vanilla + strawberry cupcake, but ended up coming home only to realize that they gave me a vanilla + lemon cupcake! Needless to say, I was super bummed when I got home that I didn't get what I had ordered, but Becca personally messaged us on Square up apologizing for the mix up and refunded us for the lemon cupcake...dang. Now that's what you call excellent CS.
Macarons: ordered 2x Cinnamon Toast Crunch, 2x lavender, and 2x earl grey! I shared. I got feedback from several people, and I think the macarons have the perfect texture!!! One of the best macarons I've had in Houston, and true to its flavor also! The flavor is evident in each chewy bite. The macarons are a bit too sweet for my liking - if the sweetness level could be dialed down a little bit, I'd be able to eat a whole box in one sitting, lol. The sweetness level was my only complaint.
Cupcakes: vanilla + lemon
The icing is very whipped and creamy...smooth and not too sweet. Bread is good too, not too dense, but not extremely fluffy either. It's got the right bread texture for a cupcake.
I will definitely be returning to unite with my lost strawberry cupcake. Highly recommend you try their macarons first!
