With the weekend approaching, food enthusiasts in Houston are in for a treat.
From THC-infused delights to ice cream collaborations, here’s a round-up of four must-visit spots this weekend.
First on the list is Wild, located at 2121 North Shepherd Drive in the Heights and 1609 Westheimer Road in Montrose.
As Texas hovers on the brink of legislative changes regarding THC-infused products, Wild stands out as a local favorite offering a vibrant atmosphere with its tropical theme.
This venue serves as a coffee shop, cocktail lounge, and dispensary, allowing patrons to customize their drinks by incorporating THC or CBD.
Signature selections include the frozen iced coffee, the Pink Loco—a tropical drink served in a whimsical pineapple-shaped glass—and the floral Purple Haze latte.
Another unique creation is the Good Kid Mad Berry, inspired by Kendrick Lamar, a delightful mix of blackberry and hibiscus.
For those seeking a low-key vibe, Wild’s sister establishment, Grinder’s Coffee Bar, also provides a similar menu, complete with breakfast and pastries, all available with THC or CBD infusions.
Next up is Coco’s On the Canal, a tiki bar located at 624 Marina Bay Drive in Kemah.
Kemah, often buzzing with tourists thanks to its charming boardwalk, is surprisingly home to some hidden culinary gems.
Coco’s On the Canal offers a laid-back retreat with its bright neon decor and engaging atmosphere.
The bar is well known for its creative tiki-inspired drinks such as the Floor is Guava and the Lychee Nut Daiquiri, both crafted by skilled bartenders who can whip up bespoke beverages tailored to personal preferences.
The outdoor patio is another highlight, providing scenic views over the canal and inviting visitors to arrive by boat or jet ski—a true novelty for a night out on the water.
For ice cream aficionados, Underground Creamery presents an exclusive collaboration with the renowned Uchi this weekend.
Founded by Josh Deleon, Underground Creamery has turned the traditional ice cream shop experience on its head, introducing innovative flavors that drop sporadically online.
Following the hype of its pop-up origins, the creamery is known for flavor combinations that often draw inspiration from beloved junk food and seasonal produce.
This weekend, however, ice cream lovers can indulge in a special edition flavor named Hama Chilly, celebrating Uchi’s signature dish.
With a base of blood orange yogurt, this frozen delicacy is swirled with spicy ponzu caramel and scattered with tiny mochi taiyaki, a delightful Japanese pastry.
Available by the pint for $14, the Hama Chilly will be offered starting Friday, May 23, with pick-up locations at both Uchi and Underground Creamery throughout the weekend, culminating on Monday, May 26.
Diners are encouraged to order through DoorDash for delivery.
In a heartwarming touch, proceeds from this special flavor will benefit No Kid Hungry, a nonprofit organization committed to combating childhood hunger.
As Houston’s food scene continues to evolve, these four unique dining destinations offer something for everyone.
From the allure of THC-infused beverages at Wild, the vibrant tiki experience at Coco’s On the Canal, to the exclusive sweet treats from Underground Creamery, there’s plenty to savor this weekend.
So, gather your friends, make some plans, and explore what Houston’s culinary landscape has to offer.
This weekend promises to be filled with exciting flavors and unforgettable experiences.
Happy dining!
