About

A HOUSTON ORIGINAL

The Empire Café combines a comfortable European atmosphere, fabulous food, and friendly service. From our wonderful breakfast and brunch menu to our exciting and original lunch and dinner entrees, we have something for everyone.

We’re about mornings of cappuccino, frittatas, and our signature Italian Toast; lunches of Paninis and Chicken Florentine, and dinners of Chicken Parmesan and Pan-Seared Salmon. Our homemade scones, sticky buns and muffins are a great morning choice to go with our custom-roasted, world-class coffees and espresso drinks. Our specialty drinks, diverse wine list and international beer selection make for a great happy hour. And our famous homemade cakes are very hard to say no to. Our extremely popular Half-Price Cake Day is every Monday!

Empire’s warm service and comfortable atmosphere keeps our customers coming back. Our customers know that even after they order at the counter, our friendly staff will continue to serve and assist them. We remember faces and names, and each week we choose a “customer of the week” to thank our wonderful guests.
