Houston is no stranger to drive-through donuts, but drive-thru cakes, buns and pastries?
Red Ribbon Bakery recently opened at 13421 Westheimer with a drive-thru feature for the bakery’s line of authentic Filipino cakes and sweet and savory pastries. Westheimer’s location (the second in Houston, including 8001 S. Main) is the first drive-thru of the brand’s 36 U.S. stores in the Philippines.
