Restaurant: Tiny Boxwood's

3614 W Alabama
Houston, TX 77027

Every couple of weeks, I meet up with my brunch buddy, mini, for some ... brunch! I had been wanting to try Tiny Boxwood's and was super down when she suggested we meet there one Sunday. The cute little cafe is actually inside a full-service, design-build landscape architecture firm. The place is small and there aren't very many tables so expect to wait in line for a bit. They also have tables outside so it's a great time for a visit since the weather has been amazing. There's this huge faux vintage clock on the wall that I just LOVE. It's mos def something I would want to incorporate into my future home. The items that we sampled were the Italian sausage and fontina cheese pizza with a sunny side-up egg and a buffalo burger with blue cheese crumbles and pesto aioli on a toasted white bun. They were both delicious. The pizza was super thin and had a nice crisp to it. The only thing was that it could have used more egg and not just one. Mini's friend requested for extra of that pesto aioli and what a smart gal she is cos it was soooooo good. The fries that came with our burger were just the way I like them, crispy, and having the pesto aioli to dip them into made them even better. After our brunch, we walked around the property and checked out their retail store that was like a smaller and more expensive version of anthropologie. After we left, I couldn't help but think about how crappy my grass was and how I wished it looked like theirs.
