"For those who like breakfast with a side of cilantro chutney and green juice, hit up Pondi Bake Lab above Pondicheri in Upper Kirby. The modern Indian counter-service spot not only has a bright color palette but also colorful and surprising food. Like the masala-spiked scrambled eggs, sauteed mushrooms with savory waffles, and a pastry case full of turmeric cakes and chili cookies. Join the other athleisure-clad diners for a post-yoga refuel, or just because." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
