While on the way to an early dinner in the Woodlands, I noticed Black Walnut Café. I have heard about it and even looked online. I still had no idea the atmosphere was so cozy, in a total high fashion Starbucks way, minus the explosion of pumpkin & leaf décor throughout the restaurant. I sat at the bar and looked around the room for a moment. The high ceilings have fans being pulled by a chain...

I came in for “Sunday Funday.” The menu offers different items at...

Café Express is always a pleasant experience. The food is healthy & light, which feels great. The focus is on the food, not the service.

The atmosphere at Café Express reminds me of going to lunch on a Sunday after church when I was a little girl. It is always busy with families spending time...
