For this #FoodieFriday, join us as we visit with Minh Nguyen, owner of Cafe TH, a Vietnamese cafe just east of Downtown at 2108 Pease Street. The restaurant originally opened in 1980, but Minh purchased the restaurant in 2007. Cafe TH is known for fantastic food, great quality ingredients, and phenomenal customer service. They source very fresh ingredients, and everything is made in house. In order to accommodate a wide range of dietary needs, they also offer gluten-free, dairy-free, Paleo, and Vegan options.
Cafe TH is open weekdays from 11 AM – 3 PM, and they service a prix fixe dinner menu (in addition to the full menu) on Thursdays and Fridays from 6 PM – 9 PM.
In late 2019, they started a full coffee menu/shop, in addition to cà phê sữa đá and Celadon Coffee operates from 7 AM – 3 PM on weekdays.

Neighborhood Spotlight: Railway Heights Market in Houston, TX
Railway Heights Market is a new mixed use development by Company of Nomads, coming soon to Washington Avenue.
Railway Heights Market will be located at 8200 Washington Ave, Houston, TX 77007, and will have direct access to many Houston neighborhoods, like the Heights, Cottage Grove, Rice Military, and more!
Inspired by markets like Chelsea Market in NYC, Borough Market in London, St. Lawrence Market in Toronto, Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne, Railway Heights Market will be a 27,000 square foot indoor food and retail market, with 50+ local food, beverage, and retail tenants. Patrons will enjoy a wine bar and local artisan grocery vendors. The outdoor area will feature family park with curated programming, a beer garden, stage, and dog park (with bar).
We are excited for some of the project’s features to promote sustainability and start-up business growth:
- Ugly Produce: Did you know that 40% of the food produced in the US goes uneaten? In order to build a sustainable food ecosystem, they will have “ugly produce” sections in the market, and any remaining products will be sold to on-site vendors.
- Vertical Farms: There will be local farms set up at Railway Heights that will allow vendors to grow food locally and year round. They will be able to not only sell products to on-site vendors, but also in the market, direct to consumers.
- Watever’s Fresh: Source first, then create menus. There will be an on-site restaurant that aims to change the way we eat… they will source ingredients from local farms and vendors, then create menus based on those ingredients. They hope to focus on some specific diets, like Keto, Paleo, Low Carb, Vegan, etc.
- Hawker Stations: These are one of my favorite components of the Railway Heights project. There will be “hawker” stations on the second floor of the market, set up for street food style businesses. Intended as a “launch” for businesses, they will offer short-term 3 month leases to new businesses, allowing them to renew if they hit their sales targets. These street food vendors will sell three items each at their booths. This offers a great low-risk and low-cost start up for a new food venture.
Join us as we take a hard hat tour of the project as it’s being built.

#FirstFriday: Mastrantos in the Houston Heights
Join us at Mastrantos Global Tastes, a new restaurant off of Studewood in the Woodland Heights, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Houston, originally platted in 1907. Watch us eat a ridiculous amount of food, chat about Houston Real Estate, and hang in the Woodland Heights!
Mastrantos is a family-owned restaurant opened by Xavier and Mari Godoy, serving up tasty breakfast/brunch and dinner (lunch to come in April). They feature great Venezuelan and Spanish inspired dishes, daily made handmade pasta, a “dough lab” with great fresh pastries. The croissants are buttery and flaky, and they have awesome flavors passionfruit and chocolate. Their espresso and coffee drinks are top-notch! They also have dairy free milk (and LOTS of choices).
Jesse Soto (aka Jesse in the Heights) has been to dinner multiple times and in addition to the pasta, says he dreams about the espresso-rubbed Tri-Tip. (You heard it here first).
Stop by Mastrantos for a meal & let them know we sent you! Follow along with their adventures at @mastrantos! (Facebook link HERE)

Neighborhood Spotlight: Seaside Poke
If you follow our Instagram @movemetotx, you know Seaside Poke is a staple in our daily diet. Located in EaDo’s East Village, Seaside features fresh and sustainably caught fish and produce from local Texas farms.
What is Poke? Seaside describes poke as “a raw fish salad that is offered in Hawaiian cuisine. The word poke is the hawaiian verb for “section” or “to slice or cut”. Traditional poke is made with ahi tuna, soy sauce, green onions, sesame oil, onions and sesame seeds. Although this dish was typically served as an appetizer in the states, over time, the dish has evolved into a main course where individuals have not only incorporated different types of fish such as salmon and albacore, but also incorporated a variety of different toppings such as avocado and seaweed salad.”
Seaside has a menu of “stock” bowls with suggested protein, toppings, and sauces, but you can also “build your own” bowl with your choices! They offer a “Regular” and “Large” bowl with a wide array of sauces, toppings, textures, and oils. Whenever you’re ready to try it out, let us know, we’d love to grab a bowl!

Neighborhood Spotlight: Tout Suite
Open Daily, Tout Suite describes themselves as “a collaborative outcome of world travels to create an exciting, lively cafe where one can enjoy simple, fine foods, baked goods, great coffee and a place to get some work done.”
Come hungry, as the food and the baked goods are both very tasty! Tout Suite is a great place to grab a meal with a friend, catch up on work, or grab a quick cup of coffee on the way to work. The restaurant is pretty big with lots of tables, but if you’re coming during “meal time” hours (ie: lunch time, brunch) things tend to fill up pretty quickly!
