👋 Shafaq here! I've been on a quest to find more late-night non-ice cream dessert spots and recently came across Eat Cake, which is exactly what I wanted to do.
Dig in: Eat Cake on North Shepherd serves cakes, cupcakes, brownies and cookies.
The bakery closes at 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays, so not a super-late-night option, but not bad for Houston's standards. Send me more recommendations!
My experience: I went in for the cake because, my golly, it looked scrumptious, and it was, but one of the cookies stole the show.
The very sweet person working there recommended the chubby gooey dulce latte cookie ($6), and I can't thank her enough. Easily one of the best cookies I've had. It's incredibly indulgent and gooey, and I've already gone back to get more.
I also ordered a slice of the 10-inch chocolate wonderland cake ($15). It was deliciously moist and hit the spot. If you too miss the old Chocolate Bar's chocolate cake, this can fulfill your craving.
