Sips & Sweets
Dozen Bakery
I can give you a dozen reasons to visit Dozen Bakery in Wedgewood Houston, but one look at their Instagram is all you’ll need to convince you a trip to We-Ho is necessary. Their pastries are as beautiful as they are mouth-watering, and are even offered in conjunction with a weekday lunch and weekend brunch menu.
