Rao's Bakery - Spring, TX

I go to Rao's regularly. There are many great things about it, the gelato is amazing, the pastries, cookies, cakes, pies, and kolaches are fabulous and fresh made from scratch daily...the lunch specials are light and filling so you never go away hungry but you're not over stuffed either. But, the best part for me is on Sunday morning, when my daughter is at her dad's and his girlfriend's house, I walk my dog to the park behind Rao's. Then, when I'm done, I go to Rao's for a snack and iced tea. They ALWAYS prepare a 'to go' cup of ice and water for me to take to my dog. Ruby (my Aussie) sits outside on the patio next to Jake and Elroy and we enjoy either a kolache, or an egg-white and ham sandwich, or just our drinks as the other people come through. The bathroom is ALWAYS clean too! All of Rao's is really great and I would recommend them to everyone! Their service is good too and the owner is nearly always there!

My daughter (now 2 years old) and I recently had lunch at Rao's (the one on Cypresswood). We had the chicken salad sandwich combo with fruit and also treated ourselves to a cupcake and petit four for dessert. I had previously read online that they can host parties at their cafe, so I thought we'd check it out to see if it would work for her 2nd Birthday cupcake party. The service was great and the food was great. I really enjoyed the petit four. Everything seemed fresh. They had a nice selection of food and pastries. The cafe was a nice size as well. Although, we chose not to have her birthday party there, I would definitely have lunch there again
