"Red Dessert Dive owner Jessica Lusk put her architecture degree to good use by designing her own small-batch bakery and naming it after her spunky grandmother. Inside the compact space, visitors can peek at the daily offerings like cupcakes topped with creamy swirls, blondies, brownies, and more. Layer cakes, available by the slice, and a solid beverage program including coffee, beer, and wine, make it a one-stop indulgence shop." - Brittany Britto Garley

"Chocolate is all the more intoxicating with a side of wine at Red Dessert Dive, where the sweets are decadent and abundant. Snack on a salted caramel brownie while sipping on cafe au lait, or book a high tea experience, inclusive of vanilla bean scones with clotted cream and fresh fruit." - Brittany Britto Garley, Cat Modlin-Jackson

"This small-batch Heights dessert shop offers a 10” funfetti cake for $70. Appropriately dubbed the Frankenfetti, this cake is decorated with a confetti border, bright blue and green icing and spooky decorative touches like “blood” drips all the way around.

This was my first time visiting this charming little place. Right from the outside you can tell you’re in for a treat. The mural, bright red door, it just all has such a beautiful, chic aesthetic that carries all the way through the inside, too. The employee who helped me was very nice and made a wonderful latte for me. I tried the butterscotch s’mores bar and it was so decadent. I could only have a few bites and took the rest home lol. I loved this place and can’t wait to go back, and take other people there, too!

Houston we have a problem. I decided to try this dessert shop while I was in the Heights area. It was so good I ended up going there four times in one week and I live an hour away from this place. Everytime I went I try a new dessert each time like the banana pudding, strawberry short cake, cookies and cupcakes. Victoria was the sweetest person and she explained about the history of this place plus offered great recommendations.

I bought a brownie from here one night I was craving something sweet. It was delicious but very sweet for my taste. Took days to eat it. 2nd review. I purchased turtle cheesecake and Bread Pudding. The cheesecake melted in my mouth like butter. The Bread Pudding is moist and not overly sweet.

First time here and loved it! The banana pudding was delicious and so was the cinnamon honey cake. Will definitely be back to try other desserts. Service was friendly too. There’s a parking are right next to the store which is convenient. Highly recommend.

Pretty good spot for dessert but they ran out of a lot of the items by closing time. Got the combo cookie thing which was pretty good and brownie like. The cheesecake is really good usually and the brownies are pretty good too Edit 5/11/24: came back for the confetti blondie, almond cupcake, and banana chocolate chip cupcake. Almond cupcake was amazing, would definitely get it again. Confetti blondie was good but definitely heavy.

We drive all the way from Rosenberg just for their salted caramel brownies. Well worth the trip just for them, but the peanut butter jelly bars are to die for too. Every time we come we try something new, as their rotating specials are always a great and delicious surprise. They offer cakes to go and a variety of coffee drinks too. Loyal customers right here!

Highly recommend this place for party cakes! We got our daughter's baptism cake from here and it was a hit. So pretty and super tasty. I was also able to order just a few days before the event (72 hour notice required by the bakery), which was great for my last minute planning. I will absolutely order again from here for future parties!

I've passed by this location multiple times. I finally got at chance to stop in. They have a lovely selection of sandwiches, desserts and drink options. Emory was informative, helpful and delightful! They helped me pick out a tasty cold brew and a flavorful curry chicken salad sandwich. I even got some cookies! The vegan sugar cookie and the chocolate chip cookie. The atmosphere and experience was five stars. Thank you again Emory! Truly a magical experience!
