The luxury cake brand famous for its mille crepes cakes — dozens of layers of paper-thin handmade crepes with light pastry cream — is opening its largest U.S. location in Houston.
New York-based Lady M Confections will debut its second Houston outpost at the newly developed West on West at 12270 Westheimer at 11 a.m. Wednesday. In a sprawling 2,793-square-foot space, the boutique is the largest of Lady M locations in the U.S., which span five states.
“Our new Westchase location marks a significant milestone for Lady M,” said Ken Romaniszyn, CEO of Lady M Confections, in a statement. “Houston has always been a city that appreciates fine cuisine, and we are delighted to bring our largest boutique yet to this vibrant and diverse community. We are confident that our customers will love the exclusive offerings and unique experiences that this new space provides.”
Lady M opened its first Houston location in May 2023. The dessert shop blends French pastry techniques with Japanese sensibilities to create its most popular item: mille crepes cakes. Signature flavors include green tea, passion fruit and pistachio.
Since its inception in 2001, Lady M has gained worldwide attention, including the likes of Oprah and Martha Stewart. Outside the U.S., it has locations in China and Singapore. The cakes are not cheap (more than $70), but slices are available.
The menu at the new location will offer exclusive and seasonal flavors of the cake. The gallery-style shop has a temperature-controlled display case that is the focal point of the space. Customers can enjoy their mille cake in the white dining room with crystal chandeliers above.
Lady M Confections will be open 11 a.m.-7 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Friday-Saturday.
