British Isles: The Shortest Distance Between Houston and London

February 24, 2015 10:04 am

Anglophiles and expats alike flock to British Isles to stock up on edibles, collectibles, and gifts. This Houston area shop specializes in imports directly from Britain. You'll find jars of marmalade and chutney, as well as biscuits, cakes, and crackers, all of which make excellent additions to your afternoon tea. You can also stock up on royal family collectibles and coveted Royal Worcester porcelain pieces, each hand-painted and carefully gilded.

British Isles is also a great place to pick up a gift for someone special. Purchase a set of china tea cups for a particularly proper friend, or splurge on an exquisite piece of modern glassware for an artistically-inclined pal. Kids will especially appreciate a bit of imported chocolate or candy, as well as the adorable Paddington Bear and Peter Rabbit plush toys. Whatever you intend on purchasing, be sure to allot yourself plenty of time, because chances are good that you'll lose track of time browsing through British Isles's charming stock.

Fioza: Local Coffee and Fresh Paninis

February 17, 2015 10:13 am

"Come thirsty or come hungry and Fioza Cafe will take care of you." So goes the motto for this trendy coffee and bubble tea bar in Houston. It pours locally roasted Fontana Coffee, the product of another independent business in Houston. Using careful brewing techniques and high-grade equipment, Fioza's baristas make everything from lattes to espressos.

Another chunk of the menu showcases various bubble teas, each teeming with Fioza's own artfully prepared tapioca pearls. Grab a bubble tea, hot or iced standard tea, or any other refreshing drink and use it to wash down one of the casual eats at Fioza. Its food menu includes paninis, deli sandwiches, and an array of pastries that are all baked fresh and in-house. Yelp reviewers particularly seem to enjoy the paninis, so try one stuffed with smoke turkey and basil pesto or grilled veggies and goat cheese.
