Empire Cafe is a restaurant in Houston, in the U.S. state of Texas.
According to Houston Press , "This place is the overnight epicenter of Inner Loop chic. In a swell, saffron-hued room right out of L.A., Houston's hipsters congregate for cafe latte, killer handmade layer cakes, verdant focaccia sandwiches and baby pizzas (try the lush mushroom-and-pesto). Baked egg frittatas may sing the dry-texture blues, but hunter's-style eggs make a breakfast worth getting up for." [1] In 2019, Houstonia 's Joanna O'Leary recommended the restaurant's cakes and wrote, "Then and now the food at Empire Café was solid but not remarkable." [2]
Ellie Sharp included Empire in Eater Houston 's 2015 list of "Coffee Shops to Enjoy Patio Weather in Houston". [3] Rhiannon Saegert included Empire in her 2019 list of "Houston's 12 Essential Breakfast Spots".
