The Love Archive, now in motion. 💌

A few days ago, we shared the stills.
Now, here’s what that day actually felt like.

Coffee being passed across the bar. Croissants disappearing from the table. Cameras out. Conversations everywhere. Old friends, new faces, music in the background — and a space we had imagined for so long finally feeling alive.

This was Wednesday, one day before we opened our doors in The Heights.

And before the morning rushes, the drive-thru runs, and all the new memories we’re making now, there was this: a room full of people experiencing this little corner of Love for the very first time.

To everyone who came early and gave our new home some of its first memories, thank you. 💗

The first pages are already written.
Now we get to see what comes next.

See you in The Heights. 🥐

Before we opened our doors, we got to share a little Love first. 💌

Our pre-opening was filled with first bites, first sips, familiar faces, new friends, and the kind of energy we hoped this space would hold from the very beginning.

We’ve always loved welcoming people in, but seeing you walk through our doors, celebrate with us, create with us, and receive Love Croissants with so much love right back meant more than we can say.

You were some of the first — but definitely not the last.

The Love Archive is only getting started. Thank you for being part of its first pages. 🤍

See you in The Heights.

A reminder that sometimes the best thing to photograph is the thing that asks nothing of you. 🌊

This is one of my happy places, Taqueria Del Sol on the corner of I-45s & Broadway in Houston. Danny and his family have served the best Mexican food in Houston for decades. I can’t stay too long when I’m there because I’d be as big as a house. 🏠 🤪🤟🏾 @ilovedelsolbakery

Shot this one solo 📸 no assistant, no model, just me figuring out my own angles and hoping the light cooperated. (It did.)

Michelin Recommended for the second year in a row, and after this meal you understand exactly why. @basohtx doesn't perform fine dining, it dares you to keep up.

Grilled oysters under chili crisp on river rocks. N'duja, dry chili, pecan, benne. Smoky, sweet, hot, nutty, all in one bite off the shell. The kind of dish that resets what you thought oysters could do.

Wagyu with endive. Basque cheesecake that earns the char.
A live-fire kitchen that runs the room.

Save this for your next anniversary, milestone, or Houston night where the meal is the plan.

Houston foodies, grilled oysters or the wagyu, which one are you ordering first? Drop it below, I'll reply to every comment.
