Dessert Gallery Bakery & Cafe

Absolutely loved my visit to Desert Gallery! They have an excellent collection of desserts – each one crafted with care and precision. I particularly enjoyed the Pecan Pie Bar – rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. What stood out the most was how attentive and careful the staff were while preparing drinks and desserts. You can genuinely feel the passion and professionalism in their service. A unique and thoughtful touch was having the WiFi User ID and password printed on the menu – a small but welcoming detail that adds to the customer-friendly vibe. Overall, an excellent experience. Highly recommend this place if you're in or around The Woodlands/Spring area and looking to indulge in some top-notch desserts!

We really love the cakes at Dessert Gallery - the Woodlands; however, the last 2 times we have visited the portion sizes have progressively been shrinking. This picture is of a piece of their Mom’s Chocolate Cake I haven’t even taken a bite of yet! .For $11.50/slice I would have expected more. Again, the cakes are really good but I feel like we’re getting cheated. Either that or you need to provide better training to your staff who are cutting the slices.

I had been hyping myself forever on Mom's Chocolate Cake and finally bought a whole one for my birthday. It was the biggest disappointment of the day. The frosting was overly sweet and gritty because it was oversaturated with sugar. The only reason I am giving it an extra star was because the cake was decent with good texture, but nothing to write home about. Also the parking situation is so bad, it took me driving around the block 3 times before being able to snag a spot.

Highly recommend! Dessert Heaven— so many delicious options to choose from. The customer service was wonderful and the dessert even better than we could have hoped for! We tried two desserts— key lime pie and strawberry crunch cake. Pie had excellent flavor and consistency, the cake was moist and and the icing was the perfect complement. We didn’t have any ice cream, but I did learn that they serve Amy’s Ice Cream if that’s what you’re going for. Also was pretty nice that they served the desserts in to-go containers, because the portions were very generous.

A little disappointed with the product. I ordered the Old Fashioned Diner Cake, and the outside looked great. However, the inside was very dry, and the chocolate was very concentrated.

Super cute new-to-the-woodlands dessert shop. We’ve been to the one downtown a while ago. Lots of selection. The cake slices are huge, if you want a smaller dessert they have a good selection too. Seating is a bit tight, but people are in and out quickly, so didn’t seem to be an issue. We liked everything we got. The pecan pie, cherry cheesecake, Carmelita, and strawberry cake.

Got a lemon blueberry cake for my daughter’s 8th birthday party, per her request. It was beautiful, delivered on time and tasted amazing. Everyone that had some said it was delicious!

Deserts are really good if you like sweets, in my opinion, prices are a little high, $13-$15 average per person, but it's The Woodlands......staff are not very friendly, we arrived 15 minutes before closing and they just wanted for my wife and I to order so they can leave on time....we asked them questions about the menu and they were not so happy. Customer Service must be a priority not matter the time. But still is recommended.

I stopped by Dessert Gallery after dinner for the first time. I love the fact they were open late. The delicious looking items had me wondering what to get. Ordering was easy, I went to the counter, and waited a few minutes for them to pack my order. I took the items to do and I am glad I did because the slices were huge. I ordered the strawberry dream cake, it was moist, rich and had the best icing. For my husband: Mom's chocolate cake , he said it was really good. For my son: Snickerdoodle cookies. Should have bought more, he ate the large cookie in two seconds. Many wonderful selections and a great place to satisfy a sweet tooth after dinner. They also validate parking so if you are in the area and plan to stop by, this is good to know.

Food - First of all, the desserts were simply outstanding! My daughter tried the Tiramisu and I opted for the Chocolate cake. Both were fresh and tasted great. Service - The poor lone girl at the register was desperately trying not to roll her eyes at the group in front of us who kept changing their minds. She seemed relieved that we knew exactly what we wanted. Ambiance/Decor - Honestly a cute (but somewhat small) seating area with spaces for a few groups and comfortable seating. Price - As expected, given the location, the niche market and the operating hours (open till midnight on a Friday!), it was a little pricey, but in line with Cheesecake Factory costs for their slices. Anticipate spending around $10 per item. Parking- Waterway parking is always hit & miss, so we'd opted for the theater garage and walked over. I did see on arrival that they validated parking for the waterway garage. The unexpected - Apparently, everything is treated as a to-go order and slices are individually sealed in plastic carriers and in our case put into a bag WAY too large. This explained the giant bag left on the table next to where we'd seated ourselves. (as seen in the top of my first photo) I'm guessing this is the business model, but it would undoubtedly save some $$ to have a true dine-in option. Given the dearth of late night options in the area and the quality of the product, we'll undoubtedly be back.

I was so excited to see that they opened a Dessert Gallery location up in the North!! I visited Friday night and ordered the Tiramisu and the Tres Leche cake slice, both totaling $23. It's a bit pricy but i like to think that's it for the experience and enjoyment! My friend really enjoyed the Tiramisu as it was rich in chocolate and coffee flavor. I enjoyed the Tres Leche as it was super delicious, milky, and sweet! The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star is because the staff behind the register was a little bit rude and sassy upon answering my questions.

The Dessert Gallery Bakery and Cafe if very cozy and comfortable. The people are very friendly, greeted us politely and even spoke is code so we didn't know they were cleaning. The pecan pie bar is delicious as well as there brownies and other desserts. They also have a nice selection of expressos.

Ordered my brother-in-law a cake for his birthday yesterday. My sister didn't know anywhere in The Woodlands to get a "non-grocery store" cake. DG immediately came to mind and we were so excited that it was so close to her! And apparently, German Chocolate cakes are really hard to find. I'm not even kidding when I say this cake is 15 pounds haha. It's SO dense and beautiful. The white chocolate personalized plaque is such a cute personalization they offer. The online ordering was quick and easy too. The bakery itself is adorable! Super bright and super tempting with so many desserts on display (glad I ordered online or I would have been way too tempted)! The entire staff was working so hard, everyone seemed to be doing at least three things at once. All while being super helpful and accommodating. Thank you for making his birthday so special!

This place is almost too good. We were in town for Ironman TX and stopped here 3 different times. Everything we had was amazing, but the blueberry cake and the carrot cake are the type of things I think about in the middle of the night lol. It's easy to get to and it's in a very cool part of the woodlands, close to the water.

Cakes were not that goods and it was incredibly packed with a bunch of people who didn't speak English. Men bumped into me without apologizing and I'm pregnant, it was just a bad experience. I also noticed they had religious cookies and hardly any for Easter, makes sense why so many people were there. It didn't feel like the woodlands felt like I was traveling and in another country.

Everything we've tried has been GREAT! They are a little pricey but the products have been great!

Why 4 stars? Because this is sugar heaven. --- --- --- There are enough options to choose from that it might take at least 5-6 visits to try everything that you want. They have about 20 cakes and can cut you off a slice of any of them. And there are plenty of other single-serving items like cookies, cupcakes and other random treats available too. We opted for: Rocky Road Texas Sheet Cake: To be honest, I'd prefer it without the Rocky Road part, but it was still enjoyable. 4 stars. White Dipped Red Velvet Cookie: It was fine. Better than just a plain red velvet cookie, which is already a good thing. 4 stars. Funfetti with Caramel Buttercream Slice of Cake: This was the highlight for me. I wouldn't sing about it from the mountain tops, but I would eat it and not be upset. 4.5 stars. We will almost certainly return next time we are in the midst of a cheat day in The Woodlands!

Mouth watering displays of sweet deliciousness await your decision when you walk into this brightly lit and cute business. The staff were friendly and fun to talk with. They could tell me and my 10yr old niece were on a mission for desserts and they were eager to assist. Fortunately, we were anxious to try everything, but we held back and opted for a small variety. The strawberry cupcake, amazing. The lemon bars had good flavor but a little dry. The chocolate chip cookies, spot on yummy. The lemon pie-cake was light, creamy, bursting with flavor and tasty. The best chocolate brownies were moist and loaded with chunks of chocolate, a little too much chocolate for me, but they were still good. The coconut cream cake was absolutely a winner with us all! So much flavor. The frosting wasn't heavy and the cake itself was light and airy. Beware if you've never got a slice of cake from here. They are big. Perfect for two people. Being from CA and just in TX to visit family, I always forget Texas doesn't go small on food portions. Works for me!

Not a good place to visit. Incredibly gross pastries. The service is laughable Customer service is not the priority here :)

Last night I came in about 5 till close, I didn't feel good about it but we had a date night sweet tooth and we were close by. We were given a warm welcome by one of the employees considering the time. Now seeing as I haven't heard of this place before last night, I had no idea what to expect. I gotta say though, the cupcakes we bought were some of the best we've ever had. I can't remember a time I had a better one, that's for sure. I'm headed up there right now to get a couple more. Don't pass this place up, take my word for it, you'll be impressed.

This is a little bit more of a review on the service than it is the bakery, but unfortunately I didn't find the bakery items all that special either. The most disappointing thing that I noticed is the cashier was on the phone trying to help another customer, yet the line was growing to the door. There were three other staff members right behind the counter to my left, not doing anything but talking. No one let us know that she'd be right with us or tried to help all of the customers themselves. I noticed one seemed to be a manager and they were discussing when the other employees could go on their break. The man behind me even asked if he could order there and she said no and gestured to the cashier who was still trying to assist a phone customer and said "You place your order there." It just really rubbed me the wrong way. The cashier was the only friendly one and helped us quickly as soon as she got off the phone. The one thing I wanted to order was out of stock and apparently had been for a while. That's fine as things happen, but there should be a sign warning that it is unavailable if it had been out of stock so long. Lastly, I think the desserts we did try were just mediocre. I didn't think there was anything special enough that would warrant another try.

We went for a post-dinner treat, already excited that there was a dessert place open after 8 pm in the Woodlands, and got a whole bag of items and their hot chocolate. You're definitely paying for the size of the hot chocolate (it was fine/good) but everything else felt appropriately priced, especially for the A tier quality. I didn't get pictures because we devoured everything quickly, but I also got the chocolate dipped chocolate chunk cookie (you will want milk), the billionaire brownie (think millionaire shortbread-level of richness), monkey bar (variation of the magic cookie bar), and a slice of the lemon blueberry cake (I already know I'll be getting this every time). It was a weekend night and it filled up fast, so if you're in a rush, preorder or opt for a weekday!

Got a slice of vanilla cake when I got home noticed that it was missing a layer of frosting - called to notify about the issue - was told that they were fully aware that it was missing and had hopes the place that makes the cakes wouldn't make that mistake again - no apologies or bring it back well refund or replace with a different slice - just it is what it is. And that's what bothers me because they sell it knowing it's not made right and don't say anything to the paying customer - just say it and let me decide if I still want it or choose another cake. It came off very sneaky and deceptive.

Excellent customer service! Much needed dessert place for location! So many delicious desserts to choose from.

FANTASTIC! From service to the taste. Incredible! Will definitely be back!!!! This cake is HEAVY! Worth every penny!

Really good desserts! Got the red velvet cake, key lime pie, and the strawberry crunch. Each was very good! A little pricey but the slices are big. Red velvet was 7.5/10, key lime 7/10 and strawberry crunch 6/10.

Thrilled to see my favorite bakery close to my home in The Woodlands! While not as large as the original location on Kirby, the shop is cute and clean, with indoor and outdoor seating options. Like the original, the glass cases are filled with gorgeous treats, meticulously arranged and displayed like the storybook bake shop in your sugarplum fairy dreams. I picked up several gems for the evening: Millionaire Brownie (rich and delicious but does not have caramel, like other millionaire brownies I've had,) Chocolate Decadence (this was stunning! Rich and creamy texture,) Pecan Pie Bar (so buttery, sweet, and salty... perfect,) Sand Tart (average,) and Cranberry Shortbread (excellent.) It did feel odd to have to wait a while for my order... particularly while a large team of employees just stood in a group, behind the register, and I was the only non-employee person there. The original DG has been my go-to place for birthday/special occasion cakes, so I'm thrilled it's now closer to home :)

Nice casual ambiance, nice music playing. Great customer service. Variety of baked goods. Great smelling coffee. A little pricey but ok for its location. Clean establishment. A little on the sweet side. Heard good things about this place so we decided to try it. Lots of tourists visit here. Would come back again if in the area.

On a rainy afternoon in July 2024, there's only one person ahead of me. That person was paying at the register. 4 or 5 sales assistants stood around the cash register talking among themselvew and not a single person asked if I needed help. So I waited around and eventually had to ask for help to get some sweets. This is off to a bad start. I don't recall anyplace did business this way. The display was indeed beautiful. But there's neither description nor price displayed. As I stated, I had to ask for help to know what the flavors were. Some flavors were obvious, but the customers should not be left guessing!! I asked for various items and was surprised by the total charge. But since this was a gift for someone, price was not the biggest issue. Upon getting into my car, I noticed that I got more items than I asked (hence the higher than anticipated price). I had told the sale assistance for certain items and told that person not to pick an item afterI found out the flavor. E.g. I distinctly told him not to pick the vegan cookie. Well, vegan cookie was packed, along with 3 other cookies that I didn't want, and one of the cupcake flavors was wrongly packed, too. Anyway, this was a rare bad experience in the Woodlands. Don't think I've ever had a shopping experience this nonchalantly carried out. Won't be back.

Nice selection of cakes and sweets. Simple coffee and espresso menu. Good location for a quick stop snack while walking along the canal. Small but has outdoor seating if necessary. Don't plan to sit down if the location is busy.

THIS!!!!!!!!! An incredible symphony of choice, taste and service. Cakes and coffee made our impromptu birthday experience memorable.

I'm a dessert aficionado. Let's just put that down now. Given my history, as well as personal ability, I know my way around cake, pies, custards, tortes, and many more delectable. The Dessert Gallery has top notch options, and I focused on the tall cakes in the case. Once I selected the one that would soon fill my aching belly (chocolate mousse), I was told I'd be served when they called my name. And then the hammer fell...$10.50 for my one slice. Okay, yes, I'm in the Waterway area, the slice is big, and I knew it would be delicious, but damn, son! I thought about how many Hershey kisses or M&Ms I could get for $10. I considered a point of ice cream from Kroger. But no! I will get the cake slice. I will eat it! I will NOT be sad that it took my last Hamilton from my wallet. In conclusion...great fare, expensive, and the potential cause of buyer's remorse. Not for me, though. I'll save my coins and come back in three months.

Great deserts and general baked goods. Staff is young but helpful and I was pleased with my purchase.

Amazing bakery. Just everything is excellent. Employees are helpful and cheery. Location is adorable and very clean.

Amazing quality. I want to volunteer there just learn how they make everything. Easily the best carrot cake. Tres Leches and Mouse were extremely good.

Ordered 2 slices of cheesecake. You get toppings but I only put cherries on one slice. Both were so damn good lol

It was ok. Nothing to rave about, won't be going back. Staff was really kind and attentive though

The cake slices are soooooooo good and worth the money and stay fresh for DAYSSSS. This place is absolutely adorable and the staff is so nice

Service is terrible, workers gave us a nasty attitude upon walking in. We ordered our things and one of the bakers rolled his eyes at a request

Looking for a birthday cake last minute, this bakery has great hours and cakes on hand. The chocolate mousse cake was so so moist and delicious. A little pricey, but I will go back for next occasion.

Amazing Service by Alexis and the sweets were amazing as usual ! Will definitely be returning to this location

I ordered Jennifers cake and it was Super Dry. The flavor was overtly sweet as far as the actual cake. The fudge inside was only ok. Icing was good. They were Out of Ribbon so it did not look like the pictures. It was big cake but it was also very expensive for it just being a 1/4 sheet cake with no fondant. Would not buy again. There was no parking in front of the store, so you have to factor in getting the cake to your car. In comparison I would prefer a Walmart chocolate sheet cake taste wise. That's how bad it was.

Delicious variety of baked goodies! We got Fruity Pebbles Cookies, White Dipped Red Velvet Cookies and White Dipped White Chocolate Cookies. The cookies weren't too sweet. It was perfect! Will definitely visit this bakery when I visit Woodlands again.

First visit to the newly opened woodlands location which is extremely smaller than the Kirby location. The service was very good and the restaurant was nice and clean. The majority of their cakes are really good with French vanilla and mom's chocolate cake being my favorite. Tried the new cake slabs which were a miss for me. The slabs are way overpriced for the size and they never were moist like the cake slices. Nevertheless, they are still one of my top three bakeries in the Houston area.

Great desserts.. but be ready for the price. Great service. Friendly, helpful and kind. It's nice and clean inside and they have a cute display of desserts. It was delicious

Cakes look great but the servers are confused, can't find my cake, and took forever to put six cupcakes in a box and hand them to me. It's an overly complicated system. Also, there is no parking nearby so be informed that if you are picking up a cake you may have to carry it three to four blacks back to your car. If it's raining there is no cover.

I ordered two cakes for graduation- 9 -inch German Chocolate and the Lemon cake... both were delicious! When we received the cakes, they came right out of the refrigerator so they were cold... Upon arriving home, I placed them in the refrigerator... I highly recommend letting them sit out to room temperature....they taste tremendously better once they are at room temperature. Very flavorful, moist and everyone loved them! so glad to have a good bakery in the Woodlands... And we can take a break from HEB cakes! highly recommend!

Very good selection of desserts. We had a large group and everyone liked what they had. Personal was very friendly and knew their food.

Excellent desserts, especially the coconut cake. The icing was so fluffy and delicious.

Dropped by for a cake take out. Ambiance was pleasant and light - like how a coffee/ desert shop should be. I would definitely recommend their Mom's moist chocolate cake - full chocolate taste without the unnecessary sweetness.

The dessert was subpar, the service was kinda hesitant, and since the space is very small (without trying) we could hear the less-than-professional conversations going on behind the counter among the employees. Next time I'll go for pick-up, definitely not dining in again.
