Three Brothers Bakery

They make a tasty no sugar added cheese cake and we picked a slice up today. My wife has great willpower and usually takes one bite, which means I don't have to share much of it. Yes, it's that good. They make great coffee drinks. We imbibed in a couple of the these and a pound of dark roast Costa Rican coffee beans. I hope they start making a few keto goodies. Stopped in for a slice of no sugar added cheese cake and remembered they make a pretty good coffee drink. My wife got an iced mocha coffee, a cup full of gingerbread button cookies, and a bag of whole bean medium dark roast for me. I went with a hot cappuccino with 2 splendas and a full of sugar cookie that looked too good to pass up.

Iris was amazing in helping me secure goodies for our Q2 birthdays at work. Most definitely appreciate the care 😊 n packing them up so flavors didn't smear or get onto other Cupcakes in transport, and so it was easy to remove them without touching another person's cupcake.

8/10/24: I wanted to try the Strawberry Cake Slice but it looked like the customer service team were too busy to acknowledge my presence so I might come back another day when they’re not so busy. The 2 stars instead of 1 is because the cake looked good from a distance. 8/12/24: I was warmly greeted as I was looking at the cake I wanted and the representative was very accommodating in providing a positive customer service experience. My cake and cinnamon roll tasted very good. Overall a better visit than a couple of days ago.

Update**I recently had an issue with a king cake I purchased, but I was pleasantly surprised when the regional manager contacted me to address my concerns. They offered to replace the stale king cake with a fresh one, which I truly appreciated. The arrangement for pickup was smooth, and once again, the staff was extra friendly and accommodating. Their excellent customer service turned my experience around completely. I’m excited to enjoy the fresh king cake and look forward to my next visit! I visited Three Brothers Bakery today and purchased a king cake, hoping for a delightful treat. Unfortunately, it was hard, cold, and tasted stale, as if it had been made days ago rather than fresh today. I was quite disappointed, given the bakery's reputation. On a positive note, the staff was very nice and helpful, which is why I’m giving it two stars instead of one.

I love this location staff friendly and i love that they know me because i'm here way too much. The kolache's here are way better than the kolache factory or Shipleys you think I'm lying try them!

We went here because they are next to Burger Bodega. The shop is really nice and the food looks amazing. However, I got the red velvet cupcake, and it tasted no different than a box of cake mix in terms of texture and fluffiness. Maybe the vanilla would have been better. Although the price is fair considering the sheer size of the cupcake and the craftsmanship. I will try them again, so maybe I will be able to update this review.

3 Brothers Bakery generously donated a large cookie tray and a large pastry tray for our event, and they were a huge hit! Everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. We are truly grateful for their generosity and support. Highly recommended!

One of the best bakeries to find fresh, baked goods. The smells are intoxicating and so worth every penny. We have celebrated many birthdays and graduations with Three Brothers Bakery. It's a family tradition at this point. Although I live in Arlington, Texas, I've made a few special trips to Houston just to get a cake for my colleagues. So let's talk about the cakes. They are GREAT! I knew I wanted a Three Brothers Bakery wedding cake for my wedding. Hands down. The cake tasting is only $25 for those looking for a special event cake. And I drove back to the bakery the following year to get our one year anniversary cake (I don't eat old cake). I truly can't say enough about how special this bakery is to the community it serves.

Hands down best bakery in town! If you need a cake get it here! Everything is fresh, rich, and tasty. The icing on everything is to die for! The service is nice and speedy. Prices are good too. Definitely give it a try!

This establishment is one of my two favorite bakeries on the planet for cakes as well as Dessert Gallery not far away. I have always been very pleased with the cakes I have gotten from here off n on for my birthdays since I turned 6 when I first had one from here. The Death By Chocolate Cake and Cherry Pie are my favorites menu items here every single time. I also really like the Cherry Danish ( with no cream cheese ) and Gingerbread Cookie a lot too. I ordered an 8 inch Death By Chocolate Cake for my birthday over the weekend to share with some close family and we all loved it very much. It was really delicious, very rich, not overly sweet, good quality, packed with cake layers, fudge layers and dark chocolate ganache. It was slightly crispy, creamy and starchy all in one. You could even smell the egg yolks used for the cake's prep through the small seem in the box containing it. The service is always welcoming, friendly and efficient and I have always gone to this original location when I do bc it was always the closest of the 3 or 4 total stores. Imo, the Death By Chocolate Cake from Three Bros Bakery is one of the 3 best chocolate layer cakes I ever had along with the Jennifer's Cake from Dessert Gallery and the Midnight Cake from Pappas Bros Steakhouse.

Three Brothers Bakery. Wow! My husband's favorite is carrot cake and I usually bake one for him but this month has been very busy so off I went to Three Brothers Bakery. Never using them before I did not know what to expect. But let me tell you the cake was delicious!! It looked grandiose and the taste was the best, it was so good that he stated that it reminded him of the cakes his mom used to bake for him when he was a child, and that is big!! We enjoyed the cake and there was plenty to share with friends and family. The people here were nice and I feel that they do a great job at what they do, make delicious cakes.

We were warmly greeted not once but twice when we came in by different employees! They were all friendly and happy to answer any questions about their amazing goodies! We got several small things since we had never been before & they were ALL fantastic! On the way out, we got a half dozen cookies to take home for our family and each cookie met with rave reviews from the home team!!! Absolutely recommend this place! We will be back!!!

We love 3 Bros! It's our usual "lazy Saturday morning at home" stop. All their breakfast items are delicious! I love the cheese pocket and their chocolate croissant! My little one also loves their apple danishes!

I can honestly say this is the best bakery in Houston. I saw them on a local entertainment show during the holidays. The spotlight was on their pecan pies and to be honest, I thought that's all they sold, which isn't bad. So, I stopped in to get one, but that's when I discovered it's a bakery; it's a whole bakery with fresh bread, every cookie, donut, and cake you can imagine, and so much more. It's every dessert that you can think of, and it's so pretty inside. It's cozy and has a warm feeling of happiness. I was just amazed, and the staff didn't mind me asking questions about how this bakery started and more questions about the diffrent pastries and breads. She also didn't mine me piling on more items to my ticket after I said I was finished, but something else would catch my eye, and it went on and on. I don't think anyone can come here and purchase just one cookie or donut and leave; it is impossible.

Excellent historical bakery in Houston. The dolly bars were my favorite but those chocolate chip cookies were top three in my life!

Have been coming to them for years, my go to bakery spot! You can't go wrong with anything. Love them.

Their carrot cake was a huge disappointment! The cake itself did not have a rich taste and the icing did not seem to contain any cream cheese! It was sort of like Cool Whip! Terrible! It was, however, beautifully presented with piped whipped cream on one side with a round chocolate coin. But that did not make up for the lack of rich taste. I did not even finish the piece and threw it away. For me to throw away any morsel of carrot cake really says something about it's lack of taste.

A colleague of mine picked up a white cake and some cake balls from this bakery for a little party at work. The cake was beautifully decorated with floral frosting that was very eye catching. The frosting was sweet and tasty, and paired very well with the white cake. I did not try the cake balls, but was told that they were good. This just might be or go-to bakery for cakes in the future. I would totally check this place out and give some of their other sweet treats a try.

We bought cookies and pastry on woodway at chimney rock yesterday. Spent $20. Tried everything we bought. Threw it all in the trash. inedible. How in the world can you screw up peanut butter cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, red velvet cup cake and cinnamon raisin pastry??? Don't waste your money.

Service was fine. The gingerbread cookie was really good. However, I can't say that about the cake. Ugh. The red velvet was disappointing. The frosting didn't really taste like cream cheese and the cake was ok. Nothing great. My husband got confetti cake. He said it was "horrible tasting cake." And he loves cake. Strawberry cheesecake was okay according to the kid. I had a multicolored pinwheel cookie that was pretty but had no flavor. And $3 for it too! OMG and don't get me started on the petit fours. Those were the worst! They weren't light and melt in your mouth. They were cold and had a funky texture. VERY disappointed in the products.

My search for king cake lead me to Three Brothers, which was the only bakery that had them available for pickup without any pre-order. Located along a semi-desolate stretch of Braeswood Blvd and overlooking the Brays Bayou, I wouldn't have assumed this would be a worthy bakery. Being that this is one of three locations in the city and with rock solid Yelp ratings, they're clearly doing something right. From Christmas to Valentine's Day, they really do have a good selection of seasonal treats that are perfectly slated for holiday celebrations. Their variety of pies, custom cakes, chocolates, cookies, and all sorts of pastries is nothing short of impressive. Of course, I came for the king cake ($30), which they had in regular cream cheese, cinnamon, and strawberry. The king cake was not exactly close to the ones I've been spoiled by in Louisiana, but it's a pretty good option. The cake was soft, the icing was sweet, and the stuffing was abundant just enough to know that it was there. On the cake alone, I'd give it 3.5 stars and would probably order it again if I needed a fix or to supplement a fun potluck or dessert contribution. I have to say they had some really interesting looking cakes on display, such as the 7 layer mocha cake ($43), a beautiful white homestyle cake ($40), and even a mardi gras cheesecake ($50). The real star is their pumpecapple piecake, which comes in at a cool $250 a pop. Must be a hell of a cake. The service was comprised of some youngins, who look like they are high school or college. Not the most enthusiastic crew and their phone manners could definitely use some improvement. Being that this location is located in such a quiet part of the city, the parking is hardly an issue.

Delicious pies, cakes, and treats! I always buy the cherry pie, and it is a favorite of all my friends and guests.

Why do businesses think that shouting at you when you enter is good, personal service? It's neither good nor personal. Some distant person screams, "Welcome to Three Brothers Bakery" Am I to answer to some distant voice, somewhere? I half-smile awkwardly to someone, somewhere, but I don't know who. This horrible habit left in the 80's in progress. Personal service is when a person - not a voice - greets you at the door where I can look at them in personal contact and smile. Stop shouting at me!!! Also, everything was way too sugary. You cant taste flavor in the cookies, only sugar. Time to pass on this bakery

First off the customer service was amazing! I came in within an hour of closing time and the young lady who assisted me was super friendly and answered the questions I had. This was my first time at this location and I was in search of a slice of rainbow cake. The slice was 9.99 which was more than I usually pay for a slice of rainbow cake but I was really in search of cake so I let it slide. Overall the cake was just okay. I wasn't sure if it was the sprinkles or the icing but the artificial taste of sugar made it quite hard to finish the cake. The cake was also dry but once I let it sit out awhile it was somewhat better. The Brioche bun was hard and didn't really have a taste to it.

Stopped after leaving a nearby coffee shop, and it smelled amazing as expected. There were SO many choices but I went for the lower caloric treat, it was delicious! The attendant was nice and knowledgeable. There were many choices and decorated really well. Will come by when I have more calories to spare for a cupcake! LOL

Very good bakery. I got a pecan log, wow, like a chocolate covered pecan pie! It didn't last too long! Then it was a to-go "Death by Chocolate" cupcake for the wife. The prices are reasonable.

I was procrastinating on purchasing a birthday cake for my daughter. The one I wanted that I saw on Pinterest was perfect for the theme, but I didn't have time to find a bakery nor wanting to spend a ridiculous amount of money. I looked at local grocery store Halloween themed cakes but they were $60 each and just didn't really work with the theme. I drive by this bakery daily and thought I'd check their website. I found my Pinterest cake! It was $39.99! Wow!! Thinking that two days out was too short notice, I tried ordering online. No problem! I could have picked it up the next day. Amazing! So I got the cake I wanted for a inexpensive price. It was ready on time. It was moist, delicious, and just perfect! Big thanks to a great bakery that will now be my go-to place for cakes and more.

awesoke i love cookies and i came here and cookie monstwr was here and snuffleapugus gave me a hug for an expensice price

We usually use 3 brothers bakery for all our cake needs!! Here are just some recent ones they helped us with! :)

UPDATE: Custom cake was just terribly made. Even after letting the cake "sit out" for a few hours. The cake was just out right disgusting. Walmart makes better cakes than that. The buttercream frosting was hard (think of dried up Play-doh) . The "cream cheese" frosting was utterly too sweet. It gave me indigestion. The actual cake was hard and crumbly and DRY. I don't understand how this bakery can be praised on other baked goods but can be so terrible with their cakes.

Everything is just too sweet. Not sure what makes this bakery distinctive from other neighborhood bakeries.

Stopped by here for the first time and it exceeded my expectations. They have a wide variety of options to choose from. Welcoming environment and friendly staff!

I ordered a birthday cake from Three Brothers and it was delicious! It was so fresh and it was decorated well. The cake was to serve 20-25 people but it served more and I cut generous slices. I will definitely order more cakes from Three Brothers Bakery!

This was not my first wonderful experience with this bakery. Actually, they did my daughter's sweet sixteen birthday cake and it was amazing. I had no clue what I really wanted. I gave a few scattered ideas, but left the final details to the bakery. I just knew I wanted a beautiful cake and they did not disappoint. The cake was beautiful and it tasted wonderful. After everyone took many many pictures. The guest was amazed how a cake could be beautiful and delicious. Three Brothers Bakery again you out did yourself. Thank you so much for another wonderful experience.

A great BAKERY. The bread is outstanding, and my current favorite is the whole wheat, the danish and cinnamon rolls are super. Then too top everything they even make dog treats, have to be early for them, and my picky eater really enjoys when bring her home some.

we love 3 bros bakery! we go about once a week to pick up cookies for the weekend. We always get our favorite chocolate cake w/ chocolate sprinkles for every birthday! So delicious!! Service is always good & the smell of yummy baked goods hits ya when you walk in the door! Original location

Three Brothers is nostalgia for me. As a child, my mom would stop by here and let me pick out one treat. I always opted for the rum balls (not sure what that says about me). I also have loved the very eggy challah here and the hamantaschen (which luckily are sold year round). I had not been to the bakery in years since I live out of state, but this week I was at a conference at Rice University and realized I could take a very slight detour on the way back to my mom's to get some treats here. I was SO excited to get a rum ball and relive my favorite childhood taste, plus an assortment of hamantaschen (blueberry for Eric R., poppyseed, chocolate chip with nutella, s'mores)! They truly are incredible - the "cookie" dough is really delicious and "sturdy" so these do not crumble. I know the bakery ships pies but I wish they shipped hamantaschen! Three Brothers also made the groom's cake (carrot cake - Eric R.s favorite) for our wedding (over a decade ago) with a house divided design (UT/A&M). It of course was delicious and memorable. If you ever stop here, you MUST try one of the hamantaschen and maybe a rum ball too!

The best rye bread in Houston! Be sure to call the location you're going to get it not all of them carry bread!

My teen daughter had a hard day at the summer vocational program she's attending. Shes on the autism spectrum. She was crying. We stopped by the bakery after I picked her up as I wanted to pick up some cookies for my coach's birthday. The girl at the counter noticed my daughter had been crying and let her pick out any cupcake she wanted -- on the house :). That cheered up my daughter. I bought two dozen cookies -- one for Coach, one for us and that precious cupcake for my daughter. They packed it up in a little box just for her. Delicious cookies as always and the cupcake was great. We'll never forget your kindness towards my daughter too -- thank you

Hi, I have been coming in to three brothers bakery weekly since I moved into the neighborhood two years ago. I even have left a 5 star review in the past(see below). But after what I just experienced, I will never return. I called on Tuesday 12/12 to place an order for a buche de noel. Something my family always serves on Christmas Eve. The young lady on the phone rudely said "hey we're really busy. I can't talk right now." I said "ok, that's fine. I'll just come in on Saturday like I do every weekend and place my order in person." She said "ok great." I show up on Saturday (today) and am told they are not accepting any more custom orders. I told the manager I called 4 days ago, well before the cutoff date, to place my custom order and she basically just said "tough sh*." There was no attempt to make it right. Now I have to scramble to find another one somewhere else. What kind of Mickey Mouse club employees do you have running this place that would turn down business then make no effort to right their wrongs? Never coming back.

I was looking for a bakery nearby and found this bakery on Google maps. It was great to discover that they're celebrating their 70th year! There were so many choices! I got the chocolate coffee cake to have for breakfast. It was not too sweet at all but I was thinking that it would be more chocolatey. We had a family lunch and I got the chocolate meringue pie and a dozen of cookies - chocolate chip cookies and snickerdoodles. The cookies were such a hit with the kids. The chocolate chip ones disappeared quickly. The chocolate meringue pie was a tad too sweet for me but I loved the meringue part. When I told my husband that I picked up baked goods from here, he instantly knew of this bakery. Our best man and his wife had gotten their wedding cake from this bakery many years ago!

This small, charming bakery has been around for decades in Houston. I remember visiting the Braeswood location as a child and marveling at their signature gingerbread man, cupcakes, and eclairs. I had the chance to visit again this past Sunday morning. I opted for a Death by Chocolate cupcake and gingerbread man. Death by Chocolate is a pretty accurate name - the delicious chocolate pieces, cream, ganache and cupcake are an intoxicating combination. I absolutely loved it, and shared it with my parents who were similarly impressed. I'm already thinking of excuses to order the Death by Chocolate cake (my birthday can't come soon enough!) The gingerbread man was as sweet and tasty as I remember it - the nostalgia and smoothness of the cookie made for a great teatime snack. Everyone was wearing masks when I entered and the staff were very helpful and pleasant. I had a bit of sticker shock from the prices, but I guess that's expected for such a tasty bakery. Check this place out for your pastry and cake needs!

I love Three Brothers - we have been coming to this location since I was a little kid, but it has been a few years now that I have one open closer to me in The Heights/Washington area. It was like a blast from the past when I came here recently to place a custom sheet cake order - there is just something about the mom and pop feel here that is comforting and makes me want to buy everything in site! Placing the cake order was very easy, the attendant was helpful in helping me understand what the cake would look like, my flavor options, costs, etc. Three Bros always does an excellent job on their cakes, so I am sure this one will be no exception when we pick it up later this week.

Some of the best pies I have ever tasted! The Key Lime, Coconut Creme and Apple pies were so good and fresh! Can't wait to go back!

For so many years, Three Brothers has been my boss's favorite bakery shop, and of course mine too. He buys, I eat, good deal, isnt it?! The carrot cakes never fail and are OMG sooooooo darn delicious. It was nice to visit the store in person after so many months attributable to the pandemic, and it was even nicer to see local businesses surviving and doing well during these difficult times. #supportlocalbusiness :) The sweet aroma of the baked goods throughout the store is always pleasurable. Everything inside the display cases looks nice and cute. Prices are reasonable, and again the carrot cakes are really good.

AMAZING pastries and service. You can't go wrong with their selection and service. So much to choose from and so little time. ENJOY!

I used to visit this place regularly as a child when they had a location in Sugar Land. The sweet scent of freshly baked goods is as strong as it was years ago and brought back so many memories. I had the cherry and lemon hamantaschens. They were perfectly sweet and soft yet formed cookies. The fillings were incredible. I wish I had gotten more. The staff were friendly and helpful. I will definitely be going back!

Happy great bakery The best Jewish bakery in houston You cant find anything there thas not delicious

I would not recommend this place for anyone. Ordered a celebration cake for a Pageant. Told them to decorate in whites and shades of pink. Letters NEM. This is all I got!! Want them to decorate and was told they do not decorate or bake there!!

I wish I could add a sixth star. Undeterred, I braved the early hours of the winter storm Sunday, February 14, 2021, because I really had my heart set on king cake. It's Carnival, we're in the back end of a pandemic, and I haven't been home to New Orleans in many years; this was to be my one bit of joy, and nothing was about to take it from me. I gleefully bought my king cake and some Valentine's Day petits fours, in which those were gone in a day, and the king cake by Ash Wednesday. My entire family loves Three Brothers Bakery, and we had a beautiful Tuesday evening of king cake, beads and Mardi Gras music while our lights were still on. I can't praise Three Brothers Bakery enough.

Purchased 6 different flavor cupcakes and all were terrible. All were extremely dry and crumbly. It was obvious that all of the cupcakes were very old. Not the Three Brother Bakery that I use to know.

This is a legendary bakery with amazing food. It's why we chose them to make a custom cake for our son's Eagle Scout court of honor. They came through on short notice after several other bakeries let us down. They also had one job. The day of our event, we drove 45 minutes from north of Houston to pick up the cake. The artwork was perfect and, as long as you don't know how to read, the wording was correct. That's right. Instead of "Congratulations," they wrote "Graduation." Big difference, and on a $100+ cake, it was shocking. I called the Braeswood location to let them know and to encourage them to PROOFREAD their cakes before sending them out. I was offered a $10 store credit and instructed to pick up from the Braeswood location directly in the future. Since we live in Tomball, adding another 20 minutes to our trip isn't an option. We won't use Three Brothers for any more once-in-a-lifetime events. There's zero excuse for not checking your work, especially when customers are paying top dollar for it.

This bakery has the best pastries I have ever had!! Just wish I would have found it sooner. I love that the danishes are not super sweet but have just the right amount of flavor. My family and I also love that the danish bread unravels like a cinnamon roll. Speaking of the cinnamon roll, my husband said it was just ok, but maybe early in the morning when they are fresh they are much better. I took a lot of pictures when I went to pick up my order and some display cases may be a little empty in the pics because I went at the end of the day on a Saturday, but you can still see that they have a huge variety of treats to choose

I do not understand some people's criticism of this establishment. When someone uses "literally" too many times in their reviews...I think they literally do not understand what literally means... This place is not cheap. Do not expect it to be so for the caliber of fares you will get here. I am a sucker for the petit fours but the cakeballs rock as well. After being deluged with 4+ feet of water I am happy to see this establishment back on its feet so quickly. I try only to come here so often as to not spoil myself on the deliciousness. In your humble scribes opinion, best cakes in town. I have been coming here since I can remember and hopefully my grand kids will too. Easily 5 stars.

This has been on my "to try" radar for awhile. Today we wanted something sweet, so we picked up a carrot cake. The frosting is very good, but upon cutting into the cake it was obvious the cake was either old or way too dry. Especially a carrot cake - it should be moist! Instead it crumbled apart everywhere and caved in on itself. So anyway, I checked the yelp reviews and saw this has been an ongoing issue. It's a shame because the flavor is good, but it's just not appealing to eat crumbly, dry cake. We got through half a slice before giving up. I don't think I can recommend at this time. Spending $30+ on a cake should come with a basic expectation of quality. I hope they revisit the recipe formulations, since something is obviously wrong.

Great pies from great people! 75 years ago, the three brothers, Sigmund, Sol and Max, and older sister Janie, were liberated from Nazi concentration camps (a humanitarian atrocity). Human lives matter! And today, Three Brothers Bakery is a Houston institution, most well known for their traditional Jewish breads, cookies, pies, cupcakes, custom cakes, and more! Their Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie is scratch-made pie crust and filled with a mound of Southern pecans. They coat the pecans with their chocolate Jack Daniels bourbon pie filling, and wait for the pecans to float to the top, creating a sweet and crunchy top to their ooey, gooey pie. I'm sending some pecan pies as a way to say "I'm thankful for you" this Thanksgiving. Give amazing! Give amazing! And it's never about the cost; instead, it is about the thought and the love, but most don't understand that. - "Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost." ~Helen Keller
