IntheKnowHouston Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 According to a July filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, Red Dessert Dive is opening a bakery and dessert shop here. The owners of Red Dessert Dive purchased the land at 2214 W 34th St in November. I don't know if this will become the dessert shop's second location or if they're relocating to Oak Forest. I assume this could be a second location. What Now Houston reported the filing last month. The publication also reached out to Red Dessert Dive for details, but didn't receive a response. "According to state licensing information, the newest location for the dessert shop would be at 2214 W. 34th St. in Houston. The space is an existing residential home that is currently zoned commercial and would be converted into a dessert shop. The space could be open to the public sometime in the summer of 2023." https://whatnowhou.com/second-location-for-red-dessert-dive-could-open/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but I would be surprised if Red Dessert moves from their Heights location. That location brings in foot traffic and has high visibility. I think their just expanding to Oak Forest. Maybe in a few months we'll learn more details. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hbg.50 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Their baked goods are pretty good but they get an “F” for friendliness. I stopped going to the one on Studewood…not worth the hassle of parking nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only complaint is that the cake slices sell out too soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntheKnowHouston Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 (edited) Yay! Thanks for the update, @goofy. Also, I'm certain when I created this topic, it was posted in the Other Houston Neighborhoods subforum. Yet somehow it's in this forum now. This is not in the Greater Heights. It's why I put it in the Other Neighborhoods forum. It would be nice if Highrise Tower left other people's topics alone. And know there are others who feel the same based on exchanged private messages. Edited March 13 by IntheKnowHouston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except I know it was moved because I posted this in the Other Neighborhood forum. It was in that forum last week. And now? The topic is in this one. It didn't move itself. But yeah, I don't know what I'm talking about because there is no indication of the move. 🙄 Highrise Tower moved it. He's done the same thing with other member's topics and has been called out (though indirectly) by some in those topics for doing so. And this property is not considered part of the Greater Heights. As myself and several others have requested, with so much development in the the Oak Forest, Garden Oaks, Independence Heights, and the other neighborhoods in that area, it's long overdue for another subforum. The same goes with the Washington Corridor and Rice Military areas. Edited March 13 by IntheKnowHouston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dessert shop is opening a second location at 2214 W 34th St. We are so excited to officially announce the opening of our 2nd location on 34th St. in Garden Oaks/Oak Forest!!! Our property also includes a brand new retail building that is now available For Lease! Please email us for more information at info@reddessertdive.com. This has been a LONG time coming as this sweet little business continues to grow. Chef Ashley has come on as a partner and there is nobody more deserving! We have so many exciting additions with this new building, including a private party room, a beautiful patio and large green space that will be available for rent as well! This project has been such a labor of love, and several years in the making.
