Ema HTX is a culinary establishment in Houston Heights, founded by two chefs and a coffee roaster. Their mission is to offer high-quality food, pastries, and coffee while honoring ancestral traditions and beliefs. Drawing inspiration from Mexico and Latin American gastronomy, they weave cultural history into their culinary creations.

One of their focal points is Maize, a staple in Meso American cuisine, celebrated for its nutritional value and cultural significance. Ema HTX educates patrons about heirloom corn and pays homage to their ancestors through the art of Maiz, showcasing the beauty and tradition of this sacred food practice.

Additionally, Ema HTX highlights the Mexican baking tradition with their pan dulce, an ode to the inventive bread-making culture that has deep roots in Mexico. Their handcrafted bread seamlessly combines classic origins with modern techniques, offering a nostalgic and innovative culinary experience to visitors.
