The Brochstein Pavilion in Houston

Little Kitchen: This place delivers a much better performance than its predecessors. The price is is a little pricey, considering that there is a student-run coffee house within 100 paces. However, the coffee is a cut above Rice's coffeehouse. We tried the country ham sandwich and the granola yogurt. The granola yogurt was well done, but a little pricey for the ingredients. The country ham sandwich was yummy, but we had an issue on more than one occasion where they didn't have half the ingredients for the sandwich. However, when they do have all the ingredients, the sandwich tastes great. Overall, the service is excellent and so is the ambiance. This place is great for meetings, study sessions, or just chilling outside.

beautiful place. glass pavilion set in the green, wooded beauty of the campus. flo paris is fine but has limited hours. if you're a visitor you need to pay for on-campus parking and i think the minimum charge is $4 for the first hour. it's a pretty long walk from the village and the surrounding off-campus streets are for resident parking only until after 10 pm.

With relatively expensive coffee and hot foods (even for university standards!) Brochstein will make you feel bougier than microwbrewed avocado-infused kombucha. Sitting in Brochstein, you'll feel a wave of modernist angst while inhaling a deep waft of creative juices/caffeine. It might not be for everyone, but if you can get yourself into a groove here, it's great for casual studying, deep introspection, or starting a blog or something. The best hot foods at FLO Paris, the cafe installation in Brochstein currently, are the Grilled Chicken Breast and Beef Filet Mignon sandwiches. The Chicken sandwich comes with avocado!! and bacon!! so it pretty much sells itself. The Beef Filet Mignon is basically a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich since it comes with sauteed onions, bell peppers, and provolone cheese. Having tasted authentic Philly Cheesesteaks, this one doesn't really stack up, but it's delicious in its own way. The coffee is more expensive than Coffeehouse, but the lines are typically much shorter. Food aside, Brochstein does manage to deliver a hip, modernist vibe. If you haven't thought about starting a blog, an afternoon at Brochstein might just convince you.
