Cafe at Brookwood is the best kept secret in the Katy Houston area. It is located on FM 1489 in Brookshire. The food is delicious. The chef studied at the Culinary Institute of New York and has been at the Brookwood Cafe since inception. We have been there many times, the food is consistently delicious. They have an extensive menu with a daily special. The sad thing is that while they are open 7 days a week, they are only open for lunch. The atmosphere is "fine dining" at its best. Cloth napkins and tablecloths. The staff are attentive and gracious. The Cafe is part of The Brookwood Community who serves the needs of handicapped adults with dignity. Some of the residents of the Brookwood Community help serve in the Cafe. It is an humbling experience to see someone with life obstructions cheerfully serving those of us who are "normal". There are regular who work beside the residents to assure all is handled properly. Excellent food in a fine dining atmosphere and in the same building as the gift shop. The gift shop has something for everyone. Exquisite, unique items reasonably priced. Everything from chest sets to dinnerware and lots in between. more

Brookwood Community is a home for retarded and mentally disabled children that teaches them the basic social skills and how to work. Such activities include the beautiful garden center, and arts and crafts center, and at their main facility (the address listed is for the main facility) they have a restaurant where the residents serve the customers. This is such a vital thing to these adults! Plus the products are absolutely beautiful. The time and care that the residents put into the plants is amazing and produces fantastic and long lasting plants...plus part of the proceeds goes back to the workers/residents and helps them pay for their stay out there. I think the quality of plants is well worth the drive and plus knowing that you are helping someone in return. At Christmas they hand make cards that are fantastic. MUST SEE! You do pay a little more for the plants but it is well worth it. They offer different tours of the facility to see what a difference it is making in the adults lives and it let's you see how you are making it happen. It is absolutely a great place and everyone there is so warm hearted and welcoming...you won't want to leave! more
