"Transport yourself straight to The Hamptons, or what we imagine Ina Garten’s guest house to look like, with a trip to Tiny Boxwoods. The ultra-chic garden cafe in River Oaks does have neatly trimmed hedges, a plethora of wicker furniture, and an impeccable and reasonably priced brunch. Try a lush pastry board with croissants and whipped butter, go minimalist with the Southside’s perfectly soft scrambled eggs and salsa, or get the brunch Lucky Burger with double-stacked patties between housemade brioche. And while the dining room is indeed tiny and busy, just don’t try to sit before you order—the staff keeps things moving and will seat you as soon as possible." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
