Treacherous Leches

I was very excited to try these and unfortunately it did not live up to expectation at all. We got a red velvet and strawberry. The red velvet is 0 stars for me. Not sure how a tres leches cake can taste dry with the wet milk in it but this cake did that! The strawberry was ok but not worth $10.

Mom and I were looking for something sweet to eat. So, googled,”desserts near by” and treacherous leches came up. I was drawn in by the name! I was like,”what is this?” Long story short, we got the regular tres leches and coffee! REALLY good. I’ve never had coffee tres leches so it was an interesting but good taste. We also got the key lime pie and were in awe at how good it was. Not too tangy and not too sweet. Perfect! We’ve decided to come here ALOT more. They also support many local businesses so that’s another win! ❤️

Went here with my boyfriend after dinner, and got some delicious cake! Everything is homemade. The owner is extremely helpful and nice. Would highly suggest this place for a treat

Two weeks ago, I ordered the pina colada tres leches cake from this location and picked it up for a birthday party. It was the full pan for 8-15 people, but honestly it could have fed over 20 people! Everyone at the party really liked the cake, even those who aren’t fond of tres leches (because of the texture). It has been two weeks since that party and I still had some cake left over. Now if you decide to do this, it is at your own discretion!!! I hate to see food go to waste, so I did eat the cake, and honestly it was perfectly fine. There’s no signs of rotting/mold, and there was no spoiled milk smell. I am genuinely impressed, and I definitely recommend purchasing from here! Note: The current receiving location (Tikila’s) is a cocktail bar and has a small parking lot, so you might have difficulty parking. I did have a bit of a run in that day when the delivery was behind, but the person who contacted me was very apologetic and sweet. I did not mind, since houston is prone to traffic and you can’t anticipate truck problems.

Alfredo was attentive and very helpful, told us his favorites on the menu and everything. The amaretto tres leches was awesome! Can't wait to try the Reese's one next time!

Bought the original tres leches last year and it was spectacular but this cookies and cream tres leches was not good. Barely any milk. It was very dry on the edges. I was disappointed…it’s an expensive cake too but did not deliver. Only doing 3 star bc the original one last year was fantastic! Not happy :(

Always delicious. They give you a spoon so you can take it to the park. We ordered cookies and cream and saffron cakes

Loved it here. Employees were Extremely Nice, Service was a 10+, and the cakes were also a 10+. Would highly recommend for birthdays, weddings, divorces, graduations, and birth

The Treacherous Leches Are Dangerously Delicious Every Flavor You Didn't Think Tres Leches Could Be Made In. It's also Topped Off With Our Homemade Whipped Cream And Our Different Toppings For Each And Every Treacherous Cakes. The Employee Is An Excellent Sells Men Very Funny Very Good People Skills And Also Quick At Making The Cakes. The Atmosphere Is A +10, It's A Vibe In There Especially With The Different Genres Of Music That Is Playing.

We saw their name on the sign driving by and decided to circle back after dinner - so glad we did! Coming back and already told our friends to try it. Ambiance/decor: 10/10 Super colorful, authentic painted animals, papel picado, cool decorative wooden utensils. Would buy their decor for real. Had cute indoor seating area. Captured the homeliness of Mexican art and decor. Service: Guy behind the counter was hysterical, very welcoming, and gave us little cards with more info about their name and flavors. Gave helpful recommendations and attentive. Food: 11/10 Flan- I'm picky about flan and this one is the best non-homemade flan I've had. Creamy, not rubbery or jello-like at all, more a cheesecake flan-style. Caramelization even with deep flavor. Amaretto Tres Leches - My boyfriend's choice - cake was moist and creamy. Amaretto flavor rich but not whelming. Cake was a tiny bit more dense than I was expecting but not in a bad way. Guava Jarritos - Had fridge if Jarritos and Top chicos. Great, what else is there to say. (Fyi we took our time getting home but it was well presented for a while after takeout. Could definitely take home.)

Love the concept and love the name! There are so many different flavors of tres leches to choose from. I had the amaretto and my friend had the key lime, the flavors of which were really good. My cake was a little overcooked, but it was moist enough that it wasn't a turn off. I'd definitely return to try some of the other flavors.

Came for the treacherous tres leches and was rather disappointed. For a hefty $9.50 a slice--a price I've never had to pay in LA or SF--I was expecting excellent cake. Not cake with mascarpone (a warning next time, please?) that could hardly hold a flag to a wholefoods grocery store cake (that costs less, mind you). Why is it less than? Well for one, it wasn't fully moist. The top layer was dry. The "condensed milk" was sticky and not sweet. The cream was not sweet. And overall it tasted like sour milk with a nutty mascarpone taste.

Wow this place was great!! Customer service is great! Location was interesting, they had many choices of local companies. we got the caramel tres leches cake sooo delicious! I really wanted all the flavors but this one topped with Cinnamon Toast Crunch was soo visually and physically delicious! Over all 5 stars can wait to come back.

Terrible service. I placed the order on line and I had someone on the phone helping me. I asked what time I can pick up my cake . He tells me that the emails will say "pick up " at 2pm but we open at 1pm so if you want to pick it up at 1pm you can . I was there right 1pm like I was told . The place was completely CLOSED. I called 20 minutes after waiting. I get the owner on the phone and I said I am trying to pick up my cake but there is no one here . He says let me call you back . Then he este the me this "I am on my way, my employee should have been there by now" I reply back and I said there no one here . Then he replied this "I am coming, I am not sure why she isn't there. When ordering , it says we need 24 hours. You placed your order after 5. It also says pick up is after 2. My only option was to have it delivered. What a waste of time and so unprofessional to run a business. I paid $104. So it was no free, and yes you lied to me when you told me you can pick up your cake 1pm.

Ordered the BBC brownie and the red velvet cake slice, 100% do not recommend. The brownie had a sour taste and the whipped cream was flavorless. The red velvet slice was so dry it was crunchy with no flavor and the whipped cream was runny and flavorless as well. This was the first time I've ordered from Treacherous Leches!

Cakes here are amazing. Best in town everyone please come try these cakes for your self !!!!

Great cake EVERYBODY loved it an asked where it came from super moist. Will definitely be back to try out others .

**Buyers Beware!** Shame on me for trying to order from them again. I had an issue with every single. Jodi had an excuse for being late every single time. One order we even talked the day before to confirm everything was good to go. I heard every excuse you could think of... from his car broke down, he had a flat tire, stuck in traffic when we came from the same part of town. The final straw, I've been trying to hunt down a cake order I placed over a month ago. Tried calling the number over and over with no answer. Tried every location they have listed online, Dallas, Fulton, and Tikilas on Shepherd, which was where I was told I would find my cake!!** Don't waste your time with these scammers.**

9.50 for a single slice of tres leches is insanity. I usually never leave bad reviews or reviews at all but this called for one. We got a strawberry tres leches and a caramel tres leches. They both tasted good, the strawberry tasted more like just a regular tres leches and I didn't actually taste any strawberry so :' ) but the caramel one tasted like dulce de leche and was great. I've had better though but at least these had a lot of milk (which is what you're supposed to have at the bottom of a tres leches). If it were priced under 4 dollars (even 5 dollars would have seemed pricey but at least better than almost 10 dollars) maybe I would have left a good 4 stars but 9.50... I've seen big slices of tres leches for under 2 dollars and making them is so easy + the ingredients are cheap... would highly NOT recommend

The name Treacherous Leches reminds me of walking through tough terrain. What the name really means is that this place is dangerously delicious with many choices for Tres Leches lovers. The cakes are soft, fluffy and delicious. Yes they are expensive but worth every bite and every penny. The only place you can get these delicacies is at the Galleria Mall. This place only accepts card payments for those looking to pay with cash. The lady behind the desk is a pleasure to talk to. I wanted to order the Cookies & Cream and the Chocolate Tres Leches but those were out of stock. I ordered the Original and the Mint Chocolate Tres Leches instead. Both choices were out of this world. Yes they are hidden in the maze called The Galleria but should not be overlooked. A must try for both locals and visitors.

This dessert place is located in the Conservatory, right in front of the entrance. This location is in downtown so parking can be difficult. We ordered the red velvet and carrot. The carrot was devoured! It was really good. Red velvet was extremely moist. I kinda of think it was overly moist. I even wondered how they got it that moist, haha. We were in need of dessert and everything was mainly closed. Thank you for being open! I would definitely come back and try other dessert.

I was expecting to walk into a bakery, but turns out it's a little market with a great selection of wines, meats, and desserts! There are so many different flavors of tres leches -- we picked out piña colada, strawberry, and caramel. The guy working there threw in a free original too because he said it was his favorite, which was super nice! My favorites were the piña colada and caramel. I loved the piña colada because it was super light and not too sweet. Turns out, it's made with a coconut milk instead of the standard evaporated milk. I loved the flavors! The caramel had cinnamon toast crunch on top which was a fun plus. These slices are big and super satisfying. I can't wait to come back and try the other treats!

Found this place randomly while walking in the neighborhood and right when you walked in everyone is so friendly! The guy gave us free samples of the brisket which was sooooo good. We also ordered the red velvet tres leches; it was okay but not amazing. I'll def come back for the brisket.

This place is so cute. It reminds me of the local shops found in small Texas towns like Fredericksbrg. The Tres leches were also moist and decadent. The red velvet was rich and chocolates. I love the lightness of the strawberry flavor in the strawberry one. And the mango on top of the original one was perfect.

To all the haters out there who can't stand the word MOIST - it's going to be the official word of this review and you need to learn to love and appreciate the word when it describes cake! MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST MOIST. Moist is the proper word to use for a tres leches cake. It is a sponge cake that, when properly made w butter, should be SOAKING in a milk mixture. So yes, if it is done right it will be a thicker cake. We tried the original flavored tres leches and it was MOIST and delicious! The cake was oozing with milk the way it should be. My only gripe is that they skimped on the frosting and went with simple whipped cream instead of the whipped egg white sugar concoction we all love from places like churrascos and Hugo's (my fav tres leches cakes are from any of the Cordua or Hugo Ortega restaurants, so if you like this style of tres leches you'll appreciate the one at Treacherous). I wasn't sure what to expect with the donut bread pudding. Is it supposed to be a donut that's cooked like bread pudding? Like, donut dough? Or is it bread pudding cooked like donuts are cooked? The answer is bite sized pieces of bread pudding fried like donuts are and sprinkled with powdered sugar. It is good! Has a light crisp and the flavor is just lightly sweet, making for an addicting dessert. I'll definitely snag some awesomely moist dessert here if I'm ever in the conservatory area.

The best Tres Leches in town, hands down! Support these folks, every single flavor you get is filled with delicious tres leches deliciousness. You can't go wrong with the flavor you get, and the folks working the little shop are always eager to help and provide a smile. I've also had their flan, and it left me very satisfied.

If you want amazing tres leches, please please make your way here! Prob some of the best tres leches I've ever had! My husband and I shared he caramel and original tres leches and both were amazing. I haven't tried their other flavors yet, but I'm sure you cannot go wrong with any of them. You can buy them by the slice, half sheet, or full sheet! I'm def going to order the full sheet so I can bring it to parties, it will def be a hit! :)

Was very excited to try this place after reading all the great reviews, but I won't be back. I was expecting moist tres leches but the red velvet cake I ordered was hard and should not have been marketed as tres leches. The place is cute and the employee was very nice, but it was not worth the steep $7/slice price tag.

Opened about three weeks ago, Treacherous Leches is the first thing you see when you walk into the Conservatory. Dessert before Dinner? The cashier adds the whipped cream and toppings as you order it. (3/5): RED VELVET TRES LECHES: Thoroughly soaked with milk and condensed milk, it melts in your mouth. Whipped cream and crumbled red velvet were bland and kinda boring. Presentation seems to lack (3/5): PINA COLADA TRES LECHES: Tasted like a normal tres leche. I would only be to tell it was pina colada from the pineapple topping and I believe there is some coconut in the cake batter. I didn't get any as a topping. Definitely sweeter than the red velvet. In all honesty for me, it was comparable to tres leches I've gotten in the grocery stores. It is a rich and heavy dessert that would hit the spot after enjoying a meal at one of the many restaurant options in the Conservatory, however, it is not memorable enough to go out of your way just to come here and get Tres Leche.

Im a Tres Leches obsessive and this place has satisfied my late night craving. First lets start with the service the gentleman that helped us was so nice! He even let me taste their homemade lemonade before I purchased. He explained the flavors to us and offered us different topping. This little place is card only which is super convenient a slice of tres leches will run you $7-9 so worth it! It comes pre packaged in a to go box ready to take home to eat or to have there. Another plus about this place it's that it closes at midnight and it's Tuesday! That means it will be open when I'm out bar hopping ++! The other very wonderful thing is the location if you go downstairs you can sit anywhere and you have your option of restaurants and bars! I will definitely be visiting again with more friends!

The newest location in Conservatory is an interesting one to see on your way in-- you normally aren't thinking about dessert on your way into a food hall-- but it's easily the best one for when you're on your way out. A group of us came by and checked out this place for it's grand opening, when all of the options were reduced to just $5 (normally about $8). Their chocolate tres leches, red velvet tres leches, and donut bread pudding were all well worth trying. On a more recent visit, I grabbed the classic tres leches, but was too full to tuck into it right then and there. I ate it a day later, when it had dropped slightly in quality, but it was still delicious. I highly recommend this place if you're at Conservatory and need something sweet to round out your meal. They've expanded their options with cheesecake and carrot cake, and even though it's not the best tres leches I've had in town, it's up there.

Have to rate on customer service only since I haven't even been able to order a cake... no one ever answers the phone or texts back. I think I got one call back, but I've been trying to get a hold of someone there for a few days now. Will be taking my business elsewhere.

Daughter ordered cake for 2p pick up. Had to call to find out status. It was finally delivered at 3:20p. The cake may be delicious but it should've been ready at time requested.

Sweet tooth lovers gather! I have had the pleasure of eating two of their Tres Leches: The Original (topped with Mango) and The Caramel (topped with French Toast) and it was one of the most satisfying moments in my life. I'll forever be loyal to you, Treacherous Leches!

I had a hankering for something sweet but a little confused when I pulled up to what looked like a theme park gift shop or a scene from Minnie's haberdashery. I'm glad I didn't just pull off. I parked and took a closer look at the location of Treacherous Leches in Yelp and Google maps and I realized that both read "Located inside Henderson and Kane". This tres leches cured the. Sweet tooth for sure. I got the caramel tres leches to-go and I very much enjoyed it. Lots of milk which may turn some people off but I loved it. The homemade whipped cream and the Cinnamon Toast Crunch was a nice touch that added some more layers of flavor to this delicious treat. The only reason for 4 stars is because I drove over to this place to try the strawberry tres leches and the person who walked in right before I figured out where I was ordered the last one. I'm gonna need a freebie next time

*TOURIST REVIEW* We had a pretty hard time finding this place since it isn't its own store. The worker shared a tip with me to search for the Conservatory rather than the name of the store, makes it a lot less confusing. They had a wide range of tres leches with a lot of different flavors, ultimately I settled for the red velvet from the workers recommendation. The prices aren't cheap, I believe I paid $7 for a slice but it was pretty large. The cake itself was probably one of the best red velvets I had, it was moist and delicious. Next time I'm in town I would definitely stop by to try more flavors!

Tres leches is probably my favorite type of cake to eat so when I saw this on yelp while at the office, I had to come. Food: they have an assorted option you can look up on their website, I went with their red velvet tres leches because I was curious of the taste. It tastes exactly as you imagined! Maybe a little bit sweeter for my taste and not enough whipped topping but really solid for a tres leches Location: it was at the entrance nook of an eating area. Very small area so I grabbed my cake and walked back to my office to eat Parking: I noticed there was metered parking out in front but didn't use it because I use the park and ride to get to my office in downtown and walked to this location. Pro Tip: if you have a metro card, they currently offer a discount just ask!

This is hands down, THE SPOT for your most decadent slice of tres leche! So many different flavors to choose from with topping options. You can expect friendly service to go with your order. They're the first establishment as you enter The Conservatory food hall so it's convenient and fast. I have no idea what took me so long to get my tres leche on! I ordered the caramel tres leche, sweet but then it's caramel so what do you expect? I also ordered the pina colada tres leche, came with choice of pineapple or mango toppings. I chose pineapple of course! I took both orders to go. As soon as I got home, I dived right into them with a cup of cappuccino. I felt like I was in tres leche heaven! I loved both flavors and can not wait to go back to try the other ones. Parking was tough, we circled around the block twice at 10:15 PM on Wednesday night before we found parking. It's well worth it to make the drive downtown.

I was expecting so much after reading the reviews about the cakes - so disappointed. To start off, they didn't have a lot of the flavors we wanted but that happens. I'm used to wet tres leches that has a little milk pool at the bottom of the container that's like a little treat after you finish the cake. The top part of the cake was more moist than the bottom for most of them. We ordered the Almond Joy (one was spoiled), Strawberry, and Caramel (topped with soggy Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal). We wanted to try a couple other flavors but ended up getting the ckeesecake because they didn't have what we wanted. The cheesecake was good - creamy and flaky crust. I was surprised that it wasn't a dessert store and they actually have some interesting products.

Ordered a cake on Jan 10 for a birthday and spoke directly to the owner Jodi. He sent me an invoice with the date of pick up Jan 12th. When the day came to pick up, I got to the store and there was no cake in sight. The employee who help said no cake was delivered and that is was mistakenly put in for Jan 13th pick up. I called the owner Jodi and my call went to voicemail. Sent a text message and still no answer. I requested a refund and still have not received it. Nor did I receive a cake. I ultimately had to file a fraud claim due to not receiving the refund. Customer service is a 0/10 for me.

I am a huge tres leches lover, so was excited to try this place out. I had high expectations based on the reviews, but overall it was okay. Ambiance: 2/5 Thought this place was going to be a pastry/cafe. But it's actually located in a hole in the wall urbanized grocery store. Not a lot of people there to dine in and hang out. It was more like a place where you come in/come out Tres leches: - strawberry: 3/5 - taste like strawberry cake with condensed milk. Very very strong strawberry flavor. - cereal/caramel 3/5 - super sweet cake that had cinnamon toast crunch on top. Overall portion size is huge, flavor is really strong and sweet. But, i prefer the classic, creamy tres leches you would typically have at an authentic mexican restaurant.

Hands down best Tres Leches I've ever had! I'm very picky, most places don't put enough milks to soak the cake or the cake isn't the right consistency, this place gets it perfect.

Treacherous Leches is the only vendor at street level when you first walk in. The small display case proudly presents the few items they have each day but the desserts are obviously made at another location. I tried the carrot cake and my friend had strawberry tres leches. Neither of us thought the cakes were too sweet like other reviewers mentioned. Maybe they tweaked the recipes or something since first opening. The desserts are a little tough on your wallet though. The tres leches was $7 while the carrot cake was $6. We didn't think the tres leches was big enough to split, unless you both eat like a bird. We liked both desserts and would come back to try other flavors and items.

My stomach rearranged itself after a large dinner to make room for some Treacherous Leches in Conservatory. I tried their caramel tres leches cake and it definitely made it to one of my favorite desserts I've had in Houston so far. Soaking in milk and with caramel drizzle and whipped cream, the cake was *super* moist and satisfied my sweet tooth. Omg, I want to come back here to indulge in more and try their other flavors. Highly, highly recommend this place for dessert!

A+ for creativity. Some of the flavor combinations are just plain genius. My favorites were definitely the dulce de leche and abuelita hot chocolate. The only thing that totally stops me from loving this place that because the flavors are so creative, it takes away from the essence of the tres leches cake. Also, sometimes some of the slices are overly wet and if they are not the right temperature, the experience can be a bit interesting. Overall a great choice but it is missing an element of a true tres leches cake.

Donut fried bread pudding and the flan are really good. Nice place right in front of the conservatory

I loved this little place. The location needs to be updated. There is only one location on Henderson and Kane and it is worth the travel. Food and tres leches cakes are amazing. So quaint on a Sunday afternoon for a bunch of friends. Parking was an issue.

Super cute market that felt homey. They sold essential oils and other good kitchen nik naks but I came for the tres leches and its was just "ok". It was $10 for a slice so I would think it would amazing. Ate it outside because inside see like BBQ. The caramel on the captain crunch topping was the best part but the tres leches itself tasted like a basic cake with a little bit of milk.

This place is absolutely fantastic! We ordered via UberEats!! It was obvious our driver had to slam on breaks and our cakes took a tumble!! (Things happen) Even though they look messy they were fabulous! I think the strawberry is my favorite!! We will be ordering again very soon!!!

Such good tres leches flavors! Inside of Henderson & Kane - the service is so friendly and inside if very comfortable.

Extremely disappointed. We got two slices - a pina colada and a red velvet tres leches. The pina colada tasted like a normal tres leches with some really dry coconut flakes on top. If that's what the brown stuff was (I hope). I couldn't really taste what was so special. The red velvet that my friend got was too sweet. Her description was cereal milk. Both cakes were very dense and left a brick in your belly feeling. Overall, it's another overpriced place inside the conservatory. It might be the fact that it was close to 10pm that it tasted like that. Saving grace was that the people working were very friendly!

I really hate to leave 3 star reviews but I love desserts and this was just ok. I got the red velvet tres Leches & my mom got a slice of chocolate mouse cake. We both just felt like we could have done without spending $13 total on two slices of lackluster cake. My red velvet kind of tasted like it was from box. Not saying it was but it just tasted like it. Definitely won't be back, so I guess I'm still on the lookout for great cakes in Houston.

They guy working at the register was making some donuts and could've taken care of us in between, taking less than 1 minute considering the three of us were each just ordering a pre-made tres leches cake. Even in short 20 sec bursts it would've been fine, but from the moment we were there till when we sat down, 10-15 minutes had passed by... it'd be fine if this were reasonable, but all he needed to do was pull the cake out, push the button on the register for what we order, and WE do the rest of the payment. Rinse and repeat, easy. But that was only work a 0.5 dock. The other 1.5 dock was from the cake itself. Simply put the texture was a little strange. No, I know a tres leches cake is supposed to be moist and yada yada. I'm comparing their tres leches to the ones I've had at El Bolillo. But anyways, the best way I can describe it is.. the texture was like it sat out for a day after being baked, THEN soaked in the milks. The result is a large cake that's not as moist as you'd think, with a crumb with pieces that were oddly large. You know how a sponge cake has a million holes running through it? The size of the actual crumb between each hole is sorta small and consistent. Now imagine those crumbs actually being 4 times as large while the holes are still tiny. Actually you can just look at the photos themselves and you'll see. I mean, each cake can be its own cake right? This different sponge with huge crumbs made it taste stale though because the milk can't equally disperse throughout each piece. The flavors of the cake were actually quite good though! Coffee was my favorite, then caramel, then red velvet. Obviously it's on the sweeter side, but you can't fault that if you're ordering a tres leches. Ah, they're also $7 a pop. 6/10, would come again once in a blue moon.

I love tres leches and I have been praying to Buddha for a good bakery place in downtown - where I work. Treacherous is not a full bakery with all the fancy croissants and cupcakes, but their desserts satisfy my tres leches needs and I love them for it. They're located on the surface floor of the Conservatory underground food court - right at the entrance - you can't miss it. I've had pina colada, chocolate, and coffee tres leches and they're all amazing. It's not as rich as America's restaurant tres leches or as authentic/cheap as El Bolillo. Each piece is $6 and it's so worth it. I'm excited to explore more of what they got to offer. Stay praying Buddha for a full on fabulous bakery in downtown though ;)

This was unfortunately very disappointing. It's a little booth inside a country market. $8 for a piece. The bread was very grainy and coarse, probably not fresh, swimming in the creamy muck it was doused it. There was nothing appealing or satisfying about how it looked or tasted. Didn't finish it. Won't be back. At least I tried.

Amazing chopped bbq, Mac n cheese, beer & tres leches, music & staff. Will be back!

Not the most amazing tres Leches I've ever had (Xochi still takes the cake....literally ) however at $7 a slice it's not a bad deal at all and is definitely better than your average HEB cake. I think the location of the store is a plus as the conservatory dining hall offers plentiful seating and many other restaurants to eat with your dessert. Back to trecherous, there's a variety of flavors including pina colada, caramel, coffee, and red velvet. I did try the coffee as well which was pleasant with a hint of coffee. Overall nice to try if you're in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to try it out. Btw venue is in downtown so be prepared to hunt for street parking or pay to park in the lot across the street.

Overpriced slice of cake and horrible service. It's was a basic cake smothered with lechera
