Came here for lunch. There is a parking lot behind the cafe. It is counter service and they have plenty of tables. The menu is quite extensive. I got the not so chicken and waffles. It was super tasty and the egg was cooked perfectly. The vibes are super cozy and have a great patio.

Empire Cafe is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Houston. Empire Cafe is a must when in the Montrose area! They have a good variety of dishes that taste amazing! Service is usually quick and friendly here. On this occasion, I ordered the chicken and waffles. They are the perfect combination of sweet and savory that'll have you doing your happy dance! I would recommend sitting on the patio and taking in the great environment.

This place never disappoints me!! Early Saturday morning breakfast and it really hit the spot. The Roma is my go to- it's savory and filling and just a perfect flavor combo. Get the cheesy hashbrowns. There are also many coffee options but the mojito limonada is the perfect summer time drink. Brought my friend with me and she had the migas, which she said were the best migas she's had, she even commented on how the pico de gallo was super fresh. This one place is a Houston staple for a reason!

I haven't been to Empire Cafe since my college days at UH (go Coogs!). So when I discovered that my morning meeting would be in the area, I was ecstatic. Seeing the long bar brought back great memories of late nights with friends. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable like always and eager to meet my needs. I sat down and enjoyed a delicious mug of a decaf americano.

Superior food, lightning speed service and intimate atmosphere. I had never tried this place before but it was recommended by a friend while I was visiting the area. Family of four with drinks and five meals and tip was $90. What we received was amazing and off the charts for quality and taste. It was beyond delicious and we were check on regularly throughout our stay. I cannot recommend this any higher but if I could I would. This is a hidden gem and you must try this place.

First off, you know this place is great because it's ALWAYS packed! I've never not had an amazing meal here. This time, I ordered scrambled eggs with a croissant and a chai tea latte. Absolutely delicious! PRO TIP: call ahead and order, especially if you're not a fan of swamped places

Lovely spot to enjoy brunch and do some work-- need to try pastas (they smelled incredible at the neighboring table) The huevos rancheros were also very good Chicken and waffles are good, but the filet is a bit thin. Lovely waitstaff. The German chocolate cake is superb and thick. Cheers!

One of my fav brunch spots in Houston! The workers are always super friendly and they have lots of seating, both indoors and outdoors! The matcha had to have some sugar and honey added because it was unsweetened, but it was good afterwards! I liked the latte a lot and the presentation was really nice. Overall, I'd rate the drinks a 4/5. The spinach and artichoke dip.... NEXT LEVEL. I crave this all the time. I'm not sure what makes it so good but it is!!! They also give you a variety of things to dip it with! 5/5 every time. The huevos rancheros is also so good and I love that they add a grilled poblano!

My new fav brunch spot! The breakfast food we ordered is pretty simple but it was good! We got the Belgian waffle & a custom omelette. The fresh fruit with the waffle was refreshing & sweet. I also love how there are plenty of seating outside. I highly recommend sitting outside when the weather is nice. You can also bring your pet (but outside seating only)! The service was fast for how busy it was. There's also parking at the back of the building.
