Three Brothers Bakery Review

Tried this place out for the first time today it was awesome so many sweets to choose from!! Opted for some cupcakes and Dino cookies. The German chocolate cupcake was my fave. The kids enjoyed the Dino cookies. Will definitely be coming back soon!! Highly recommend this place to ease this sweet tooth cravings!!

Always friendly and good service. Great atmosphere.

I orderd a cake from these guys arround oct 2012 for my husband and was charged $220 for a cake that serves 30 people.. although it was "custom made" I believe the cake was sloppy and did not have the logos that i paid extra for. at the time of pick up i brought it to their attention and ask if i could get a discount since the cake did not have the upgrades i paid extra for, and the staff denied it and said that if i want the logos i can wait and they would put it on it.. but i dint have time to wait on their mistake so decided to ask for a manager who only discounted $10 of the $40 upgrade that was clearly not done. The cake was ok of flavor but not the best. Next time i go im definitely spending my money wisely with these people. for decorations they suck but for a cake that will taste good they are ok. my opinion

Very friendly and helpful staff. Don't miss the Stollen.

Everything was excellent with the exception of the old and cold coffee.

I have been coming here for years.. our family is friends of the owners. I have never been as offended as I was with the workers here, not to mention the bakery goods have definitely changed and not for the better. Very upsetting. I do hope that things change for the better.

Three Brothers Bakery did a fantastic job on our wedding cake and grooms cake! The lady who took our order, drew the cakes exactly how we wanted them to look. We did the taste tasting before deciding on which flavors, and they were all so moist! Delicious and Beautiful cakes! Great customer service, and such attention to detail. I highly recommend Three Brothers Bakery!!!

I wish I could give zero stars to them. Really bad service. I got an appointment for 10 am on a Saturday but considering Houston traffic we got there at 10:16 am. We talked to the manager too and they would not let that one minute go and didn t even get my $25 refund. We ve always ordered birthday cakes from them. But this time there was no absolute sense of customer service. It was a really bad experience. Never going back again.

I ordered our wedding cake recently from them and loved it! All our guests loved it and said they'd never had such delicious cake before. Jasmine was so easy to work with during the process and made it so stress free for me! I recommend them for wedding cake or any occasion.

While the cheese danish was the worst one I have ever had (must have been at least 3 days old) I really enjoyed my cheese pocket. I need to be careful about what I get here.

Worst bakery ever.
Yesterday we ordered from there almond croissant, cheese danish, cherry danish and bagel. The danish were sticky and old. It was more like a cookie and the bagels were cold and old too.
I just felt like I put my money in the trash because everything was horrible.
WORST WORST EXPERIENCE EVER.

I ordered a pecan pie for my husband for the first time he's going to love it I tried a slice and it's the best ive ever tasted and I'm not big on pecan pie I love cheesecake this pie is very tasty and very fresh homemade delicious just shipped on may 2 fed ex and got it in 2 days try it u will be amazed I will be ordering again from three brothers in the near future

I live close to this place and decided to check it out for a family occasion. I never tried any of their products and asked if they had any samples, which they said no. The only way to try their food was buying a cupcake. That was a pretty trashy cupcake for like 3 bucks. The bread was dry and the whole icing chunk fell off. The place looks nice and stuff but it really wouldn't hurt to give the customer a sample. Just go to Kroger.

Got my mom a birthday cake her. Was beautiful and tasted amazing!!! Definitely coming back for more. Also, I got my birthday cake her a long time ago too! They have great deserts.

Friendly staff. Excellent wedding cake. Rich and great decorative art.

I'll echo those who came before me. Best cookies I've ever had. Crunchy outside moist inside. Texture is perfect and the flavors are insane. Big enough and rich enough that I don't gobble it down at once and savor the flavor.

Contracted this three bros. location to do my wedding cake and a grooms cake. I'll make a long story short, the wedding cake didn't look AT ALL like how we discussed. It looked sloppy like it was made the day of the event. Also the filling/flavor of the wedding cake was completely wrong as well. The grooms cake looked like it was supposed to. It looked like they spent more time on the grooms cake decoration than the wedding cake. Also the flavors of the grooms cake were wrong as well. The meeting we had a few months before the wedding to discuss cake were a complete waste of time. I'm sorry, maybe others had a better experience with three brothers but I was really disappointed.

I've been going to Three Brothers Bakery for years and have never had a disappointing experience. The gingerbread men were incredible. I'm not the biggest fans of raisins so I asked if they would consider making them with chocolate chips instead. Low and behold, the next time I went they had my request there! Great customer service and really nice people.

Another Update: They are celebrating their 70th year and decorated accordingly. I received great service again! I love coming here!

Update: I visited this location again today. The cashier Madison gave great service and gave me permission to take pictures; I remembered to take pictures of the bakery and of my purchases this time! I tried a free sample of the snickerdoodle; it was quite nice. I ordered a 1.5lb Challah loaf, a blueberry danish, a snickerdoodle, and a chocolate raspberry pound cake.

This was my first time at a 3BB. I have a dairy allergy and saw that this bakery had dairy-free options. I initially tried to visit on Easter, but I didn't check their holiday hours.

I visited again later that week. I asked if there was any Challah left, since I knew that was dairy-free; I ordered a 1.5lb loaf. The cashier Noah asked if I wanted it sliced; I didn't know that was an option. While he sliced the bread, I looked at the display for a pastry to try. There were so many non-dairy items that I couldn't stop smiling. I ordered a strawberry Hamantaschen, and ate it in my car.

I was so excited that I forgot to take more pictures of the bakery and any of my purchases. I devoured the Challah over several days. I plan to visit a 3BB in the near future! Thank you.

Delicious homemade bakery items, great assortments, courteous customer service

i love this place, great food & service. it has a cool atmosphere.

I was recommended to try this place out but i was left dissatisfied with out even ordering a cake . I spoke with two different woman on the phone to place a last minute cake order, witch seemed to unplease the last woman i spoke with she gave me no options or any suggestions on their cake selections other than to check their website where picture selection is very limited. I wish her customer service skills improve and she can be more welcoming over the phone to potential guests and not make them feel rushed to place the order .

They have a great classic feeling and they have some really yummy cream cheese brownies. They have friends faces to great you. In my opinion some of their items are a little over priced and the beagles were more fluffy than normal beagles. I would recommend trying them out though. They are worth the trip.

My clients rave when I send Three Brothers Bakery pies across the country as corporate gifts. You've never had better pecan pie than theirs. They arrive in any city fast and as fresh as the day they were made. We enjoyed their award-winning pecan pie in Chicago last night. You can have a Three Brothers Bakery pie no matter where you live.

Yum! Located right by the Brayes Bayou trail, the bakery makes a perfect place to stop and grab a snack. I tried the pecan bar and a blueberry hamantaschen ... both were delicious and not overly sweet. They also sell coffee, lattes, and tea. This place would be great for a quick breakfast or brunch. I will definitely stop by again!

Did a beautiful job on our wedding cake. Tasted great too. Had many compliment.

They won best key lime pie in the usa award, i bought 1 and it was delicious, i went back a few weeks later to buy a 2nd and i felt the tangy key lime flavor was much less apparent, not sure if they changed it or the consistency was off that day but still a good, cream pie? Either way they make delicious anything pastry, ill go back again, my new favorite pastry shop.

It's a very good bakery. You can get kosher items here. Open Sundays.

Most excellent bakery in Htown and beyond. Truly class. And most excellent story of survival (Holocaust and Hurricanes). This places has European delights of Gingerbread men and Italian cream. Jewish essentials like Hamantaschen and Challah, American spin of Jewish goods like black and white cookies and cheesecake. Southern classics like pecan pies and Texas favorites such as beef sausage kolaches with jalapenos. Three Brothers hits the target everytime!
Truly class :)

This is a really bad place from what I have experienced. To start with, their personnel are extremely rude. They talk to the customers as if they are doing a favor to us by making that cake. secondly they are extremely pricey for what they deliver and cakes are just ridiculously high priced. Thirdly they deliver the cake at the same price of the cake. So a 150$ cake costs you 300$. And here's an example, they priced an 8" cake for 150$ for me and 300$ with delivery. Finally I ended up picking it up myself. And finally the product they deliver lacks quality. Their ingredients are not what they should be at that high a price. Its your call what you decide, but for me this place is a big NO!

Very nice people clean place good treats and if you need a cake made one of the best in Houston

Very lucky to live nearby, as I get to smell the goodies baking sometimes :) There s a HUGE selection, yet everything is so fresh and yummy. The owners (and their employees) are very hospitable and kind. What s not to love?

Don't bother if you're vegan. I asked about vegan items and was told they had nothing.

First of all I really wanted to try this place for a very long time !
So today was the day !!
We got the
Death by chocolate cupcake
Coconut cupcake
Cheesecake cupcake
So how hard is to satisfy a seven year old with chocolate?
My kids review This taste like it s been in the fridge for a week
( a seven year old, chocolate)
DRY
I had the coconut cupcake, the bread was dry and had very little coconut flavor.
So we saved the cheesecake cupcake for last ( how can you go wrong with cheesecake?).
Cheesecake cupcake was guess what ? DRY also frosting not much better.
Desert Gallery is by far better.
Crave cupcakes is most definitely better.
Sam s cupcakes are probably better.
Maybe cookies is the the thing to go for.

Our favorite place on the bike trail. The almond crossaint is delicious.

It is a good bakery and it makes delicious breads and cakes and others.

I ordered a cake for delivery on December 12th, 2020. I saw that Three Brothers Bakery had Build-A-Cake Birthday cakes for $49.99. A little expensive, I thought, but I assumed it would taste really good for the price. The smallest cake they offer feeds 8-10 people, so it would be a lot of cake for my single cousin. Still, I wasn t in Houston, I was in Louisville, and figured for $49.99, my cousin would receive a special treat since he was alone during Covid on his Birthday. Since it was a Christmas Birthday, I sent a picture of a cake decorated with some Christmas ornaments, phoned the shop and asked did they have any decorating options like the picture? I was told yes. I ordered the Build-A-Birthday Cake for $49.99, nothing fancy a round white cake with white buttercream icing. I was not quoted a price, nor was I told there was a delivery fee. I received an email verifying my order, but in the rush of the holidays, was glad that task had been taken care of, and didn t open it to read it. If I had I would have cancelled my order. When I received my Visa bill, I saw a charge for $150. I called and was told that since the cake was ordered with custom decorations, it was $100, and that the delivery fee was $50. I surely would ve paid for delivery without complaint but I was thinking like a Doordash amount of $10? My cousin lives less than two miles from the bakery!
When I called, I asked for a discount but was told nothing could be done.

My family loves 3 Brothers Bakery. We especially love their Gingerbread men and will go out of my way to get them. Their cakes and pastries are delicious as well.

Disappointing to get Philadelphia cream cheese when the menu lists home-made. Would give this place 5 stars if they actually had what was listed on the menu.

Got my rye bread and chala
Yummy

I got my wife's birthday cake here because they have a lot of dairy free options. I wasn't disappointed, I'm not dairy free and I got my birthday cake there too because it was so good!

Visited on Sat I believe. I'll return with my relatives. This place has a good atmosphere.

Excellent spot to spend time alone or talk business. The service was friendly and observant. It has a nice interior.

Based on all the great reviews people left online I ordered several pies to arrive for my daughter's birthday on specific date. Three Brothers shipped FedEx ground! which is so unwise for a perishable item and I never received the pies. Three Brothers Bakery so far has not take responsibility for their mistake nor refunded my money. Their customer service has been terrible.

Please note: After several attempts and negative comments on social media they did refund me for the pies. It's too bad apparently they make the best pecan pie. Thank you for my refund.

This is an old school bakery with, not just terrific goodies, but wonderful, knowledgeable, patient help.

Family tradition for many many years and none of us have ever had a bad experience. I wish they would put one in N. East Texas where I live & bring a Beldons too. :-)

It was so tasty. I've had nothing but great experiences here and will keep coming back. It has a nice feel to it.

One of my favorite bakery shops in Houston that offers a great variety of desserts. Keep on coming back for a slice of red velvet cake.

The absolute BEST BAKERY IN HOUSTON. Everything from fresh bagels, cookies (love the gingerbread men), breads, and cakes. They make fabulous, artistic, custom cakes for birthdays, special events and weddings. And best of all, the team, staff and management are the most wonderful people. Try their hamentaschen cookies, challah and my favorite, the poppy seed cake it s to die for.

We had a custom cake made for my son's 1st birthday. It was a design to look like his favourite stuffed animal. The cake was beautiful, much bigger than I had imagined, and tasted wonderful. Thank you. I will be coming back soon.

We stopped by this little bakery because it was Pi Day (March 14th) and it was near the hospital. They only had pecan pie left (which we grabbed, because PI DAY - we nerd families respect our holidays), but we also had to take home some cupcakes and cake balls. The place smelled heavenly and the staff was patient and kind while the kids and I went back and forth, asking questions about everything, trying to decide what to take back with us. Let me tell ya - I LOVE TO BAKE - chocolate dessert crafting is a hobby of mine and I'm super judgemental when it comes to buying baked goods. Their cakes were great! Super moist and buttery. Pie was nice too. All in all, I'm glad we found this spot on our trip to Houston. Made a sobering visit for cancer treatment a little brighter. We'll be back!

Fantastic baked goods with tons of amazing dairy-free options!

They have the same cookies everyday try something new

Some things excellent, some just OK. All the prices are really high, bagels are good for those who like fluffy round rolls with holes.

I ordered my wedding cake and it was more beautiful than what I imagined. Thank you!

entered near eleven, it wasn't packed. had a friend come into town and asked me to take him here again.

This is a classical European backary. One of the best in Houston.

This is where I buy all of our birthday and custom made cakes. I love Three Brothers!!!

I love, love, love its Key Lime Pie. Not too sweet, just enough tangy-goodness. The smell was heaven while driving home. I bought twice from this story and the quality hasn't changed. Really good.

Amazing bakery with overwhelming number of options. Also recently added a coffee barista.

I didnt like the turtle chocolate cake , i could feel all the sugar in excess.

My husband and I went to the memorial location and purchased 6 hamantash, two were stale and the filling was hard as a rock. We also paid over $8 a loaf for a pumpernickle and rye and both were stale, dry and not fresh in any sense of the word. I would never ever go back there. Total rip off!!

What a friendly place for a quick pastry stop or a birthday cake. Would definitely return again!

I got two cakes from here, one was very syrupy and very, very sweet... almost too much to be eaten. The other one was like heaven in a box. You just need to find what you like.. but I definitely see why it is an award winning bakery!

Sad the other location had to close; some of the best cookies I have ever had.

The pictures on their website are not up to date. I ordered an Oreo cheesecake for a party at work because it looked so delicious online. When my co-worker picked it up it was totally different from the one on their website. The one online was nicely decorated with whip cream and chocolate drizzled all over it. The one I picked up didn't have any of that it was very very plain. I called but was told that you have to request those items to be put on the cheesecake. I was very upset because I assumed that it should automatically come like the one on the website since that's what they were advertising. I was told the picture was old and they no longer do them that way but why advertise it. I'm pretty sure it's a quick and easy change to remove the old picture and replace it with a more updated one. I was very disappointed.

Amazing Hala bread, everything is super fresh, friendly crew

Food with real quality ingredients. It has a great interior. This place has many good reviews for a reason.

Ordered cupcakes from here and they were absolutely amazing.

Grew up coming here, and they just keep getting better and better. Before you even walk in the door the smell of vanilla hits you. I went to college in NYC and thought there would be a million bakeries similar to Three Brothers Bakery. I was COMPLETELY WRONG, there is no bakery that compares, not even close. Three Brothers puts so much love and time into their food. Their bread is spectacular, cheese danish, chocolate dipped coconut macaroons and iconic gingerbread men are all must haves!!! A true gem of Houston

the desert i tried was oversized and stale, must have been sitting in the display for over two weeks.

Great bakery! Best gingerbread men ever. This location is kosher and does not serve kolaches, just fyi if you are heading here for breakfast.

Great petite fours, cakes, cookies and other Jewish themed bakery items.

Friendly staff with great baked goods and fresh squeezed lemonade.

Snickerdoodle cupcake is so delicious! Pair that with great customer service and I'll be coming back soon
