phillip_white Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) I haven't been by this building in a long time, but Google streetview shows it to be vacant. Looks like this might become a bakery that doubles as a storefront for a coffee roaster?

JBTX Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) Hah, Eadough pastries. Alright, you got me in for one visit at least. That said, I found this bit of showboating a bit interesting: "Having spent years in a 2 Star Michelin rated kitchen in New York, Kripa has a caliber of experience not found in the Houston food scene." I think Daniel Bludorn, the entire staff of Le Jardinier, the chef at Nobie's, and others would like to have a word with her. (Also, I don't think Michelin bragging gets you too far in Houston) Edited September 17, 2021 by JBTX 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcal Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 I had heard that Nancy's Hustle was looking for a place to do commercial baking somewhere in the East End at one point. Maybe associated? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonMidtown Posted September 18, 2021 Share Posted September 18, 2021 The building is currently in use - but I dont know what they do - they have done some minor remodeling over the last year or so - added an exterior door and stairs, stuff like that - will be interesting to see what it turns in to.

wilcal Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I was driving by last night and saw that the lights were on so I tried to slow roll and take a few pictures, but there were like 8 workers standing in this doorway all staring at me so I chickened out. Also, were the product pages up on eadough.com before? There are a bunch of listings for baked goods now. Rosemary and potato kolache sounds interesting. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancy, creative pastries are great and all, but man I wish there were a bakery in the area that had great loaves of actual bread. Everything on EaDough's website looks pretty similar to what's available at Koffeteria (and everywhere Koffeteria distributes - Segundo Lab, etc).

samagon Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 yeah, baguettes and sourdough are probably not a specialty of the panaderia. I wonder if any of the bahn mi shops in midtown would just sell the baguette bread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also suspect that the profit margin on a pastry is higher than bread, so they might be hesitant. With Common Bond continue to explode, I wonder if one will pop up in the East End eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 (edited) A few days ago, Chron.com uploaded a preview walk-through video of Eadough to Instagram. EaDough is the latest bakery and grab-and-go cafe to open in EaDo. It's located at 3204 Polk St. https://www.instagram.com/p/CjY54VmpcI9/ Screenshots from the video and another Instagram post.

wilcal Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Stopped by on my bike to work this morning and grabbed some pastries for our meeting. They were good! Good reviews. Tops were the blueberry muffin and pumpkin loaf. Great texture on the scone. Also, evidently B-Cycle is working on installing a location here which is great. In the 5-10 minutes I was hanging around, two different people who were walking their dogs on the Columbia Tap wandered over to check it out. They said that they would be adding on their lunch menu and staying open until 3 starting early November. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
