For decades Montrose has been a neighborhood where you can come as you are and feel welcome. Now filled with museums, cafes, shops, and dives, you'll often find them shrouded in greenery or intermingled amongst residences. A great escape from the sea of concrete. We feel pride when we support our community, and inspired by the people who work tirelessly to run the places we frequent. We know parking is a nightmare, it's just something you learn to deal with. A sign of a more progressive and welcomed time, Montrose may no longer be the ubiquitous gay community it was once. This doesn't mean it's lost its charm or forgotten its roots. To take a quote from one of the neighborhood's original developers (J.W. Link) a little out of context, "Houston has to grow. Montrose [will] lead the procession."
Minimal home goods and quality wardrobe staples.
A seemingly hole-in-the-wall donut shop that always has a line to the door. Before you know it they're loading up your morning desserts almost quicker than you can select them. They always toss in a couple extra donut holes too! In addition to the donuts you cannot forget to get a pile of kolaches. If you aren't familiar with this pastry, think pig-in-the-blanket, but way better. We have the Czech immigrants to thank for this baked good, but Texans to thank for the addition of sausage, cheese, and sometimes when you're feeling spicy, jalapeños. Want to take it to another level? Throw some cajun influence in the mix with boudain.
