Tifa Chocolate and Gelato opened in mid-October at The Shops at Baybrook in Webster. The café offers house-made gelato and artisan chocolates. Franchisee Sanaa Atkins runs the location.
What’s On The Menu
As reported by Community Impact, the Webster shop serves 24 flavors of fresh, in-house gelato. Choices include stracciatella, vanilla bean, dark chocolate, cookie butter, pineapple coconut sorbetto and strawberry balsamic, along with rotating seasonal flavors. The menu goes beyond the scoop case with artisan chocolates, cookies, pastries, espresso and other coffee drinks.
Location and Hours
The Webster café sits at 1065 W. Bay Area Blvd., Ste. 240 inside The Shops at Baybrook and lists hours that generally run from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays, with extended hours on weekends. The store's phone number and catering options are posted on the Tifa Chocolate and Gelato site.
A California Brand With Texas Ambitions
According to Tifa franchising, the company started out as an online chocolatier before moving into brick-and-mortar cafés in California. The Webster shop opened on Oct. 17 and is the brand's first location in the Greater Houston area and its third storefront in Texas. Community Impact notes that the franchise operates about a dozen shops nationwide.
Why It Matters Locally
Set near Baybrook Mall and a cluster of restaurants, the shop adds to a growing lineup of dessert and coffee stops aimed at families and mall regulars. Early customer reviews on MapQuest call out friendly staff and generous tasting pours, a sign the newcomer is already pulling in local foot traffic.
The Tifa Chocolate and Gelato website lists menus, catering information, and Webster hours. The café will rotate seasonal flavors and host community events. Franchise information for locations outside Texas is available through Tifa franchising.
