Family-owned Perfect Blend Bakery Caf serves housemade croissants, scones, kolaches, muffins and custom-made cakes. The caf offers more than 30 different flavored lattes.

Perfect Blend features a wintry peppermint mocha. The hot drink is made with two shots of espresso, dark chocolate sauce and peppermint flavor. The milky foam on top adds an airiness to the dark roast of the espresso.

Perfect Blend owner Cassandra Kohl said the peppermint mocha can be

prepared over ice as well.

"We do everything iced," she said. "Our iced lattes are like candy bars in a cup."

Perfect Blend's coffee beans are ordered locally from Lola Savannah Coffee Company in downtown Houston. Lola roasts the beans daily, which are delivered to Perfect Blend about once a week to ensure freshness, Kohl said.

"Everything we make is custom and fresh," she said.
