In 1995, Sara Brook opened the first Dessert Gallery Bakery & Cafe in downtown Houston. A go-to spot for any sweet treat imaginable, the bakery has brought joy to Houstonians for many years, and now it’s expanding to bring joy to The Woodlands. This unique, woman-owned business opened its second location in the heart of The Woodlands on Waterway Avenue in early February.
“We are so excited to officially open The Woodlands location of Dessert Gallery,” said Brook. “We have been creating sweet memories with the Houston community for nearly 30 years, and expanding into The Woodlands was the natural next step.”
The opening of the Dessert Gallery in The Woodlands marks a significant milestone in the local culinary scene.
