all right folks Houston loves a good cup
of joe but a great coffee shop has more
than just great
coffee here with some new must visit
spots in Houston please welcome our
friend Kerry Kolbert welcome back to the
show great to see you good to see you by
the way it's good to be here you guys
have got to check out Kerry's website
Kerry Kolbert calm because you are such
a great style guide curator for the city
so I'm not surprised that you know the
latest and greatest let's talk about
Boucher patisserie yes so recently we
posted a new coffee guide to Houston and
we listed our favorite coffee places and
incidentally three brand new places made
the list and that's what we're
highlighting today yes
so Boucher is in the new post oak uptown
hotel and it is just wonderful you seen
exactly it's very fancy
you feel like you're in a French cafe
they have an award-winning pastry chef
who whips up all these great pastries
every day so yeah go ahead and try some
I'm gonna go for this little operation
at all because it looks so fancy indeed
and so we also have a strawberry cream
puffs as well as this raspberry tart mmm
when the raspberry tart it has a lemon
base right with some cream in the middle
it's delicious and when you go there
Michael the manager is just fabulous he
will make you feel right at home
the coffee is strong delicious and then
a bonus they have sugarfina candy lining
the walls their weight lining the walls
yes wait so is that a problem guys like
people end up licking the walls packaged
but it's just a wonderfully sweet place
to visit okay so let's talk more about
the space too because people are always
you know whether they're working on
their laptops at a coffee shop or
socializing with friends they want to be
snapping photos right absolutely and you
know especially with my group with us
being online having our website and
having to Instagram things that ranked
high on our list of criteria things had
to be Instagram worthy and this cafe is
sure that it's beautiful all right that
is delicious by the way that I think all
right what's next on the list now this
is a special new spot in Midtown it's
called cafe poet and the special thing
about this is the owner is
region and she aimed to bring him in a
Paris to Houston I was just going to say
this looks like something you would see
in a little Parisian cafe exactly so
these are the sweet eclairs which we're
all used to but they also have savory
eclairs that they serve all times of
days and this is the pastry of the month
the Saint Honore oh my gosh sorry am i
getting in the way am I allowed to eat
this stuff well keep talking so this
cafe she actually brought the materials
from France to construct the cafe and if
you go outside the patio is made with
cobblestones
from Paris so you feel like you're
sitting outside at a Parisian cafe it's
really quite special
okay poet yes okay I'm right in the
heart of meditation they also do a juice
of the day I understand by the way that
Eclair is I could scream that so good
right what's the juice of the day I mean
well so every day they have something
different this one we have here that I'm
gonna show you right now is the
butterfly lemonade it's May now that's
the plain lemonade let me show you
there's magic to it Derek oh this one's
a butterfly lemonade no this is
butterfly lemonade but we have to do the
magic is it made with butterflies well
clothes it's made with and the the sweet
pea flower which apparently resembles a
butterfly that's the name so it starts
out yellow you add a little bit of the
sweet pea s s oh hang on wait for it
wait for it that is so cool there you
have so it's like in a like an
experience window it is and it's it's
beautiful the walls are lined with these
gorgeous bookcases and like I said the
patio has you know the cobblestones from
France it's really a special experience
Bonjour
sorry that's that's really all the
French I know that's delicious very very
nice
okay last but not least number we have
Dolce bacio this is located a part of
West Africa Kirby and Westheimer my team
likes it because their coffee is strong
and their Wi-Fi as strong as well as a
critical thing yes it is we love working
from coffee shop so this is a favorite
they've got great pastries as well they
do smoothies they do fresh made waffles
all sorts of things oh wow yeah there's
a subtle flavor to this I know
well while you're eating I'll point out
that if anyone would like to see the
addresses and more pictures and details
of all these they can visit our website
Kerry Kolbert calm and at the top
there's a link to our guides and this
Houston coffee guide is quickly becoming
a fan favorite so check out all the
great coffee places in Houston so many
great desserts and pastries and drinks
and you know these three great new ones
have just popped up all in the last six
months so we're lucky to have them we
are so lucky to have them and you know
not to knock any of these like national
chains but I go to sometimes to a
national chain just because I see a
drive through absolutely is not good
yeah oh what's wrong with us I'd much
rather support a local business that has
sort of an artisan vibe to it
that's what we love and there are so
many different distinct vibes so whether
you're looking for an artsy vibe or a
modern vibe for a Parisian vibe or
whatever the case is
Houston definitely has a coffee shop for
you all right we'll Kerry thanks for
doing all the dirty work for us we've
had a very hard time enjoying all this
work and a reminder Kerry Kolbert comm
is the website to visit if you'd like to
learn more about Kerry or all these
lovely coffee shops thanks
