About Tiny Boxwoods Productions

Tiny Boxwoods is an upscale garden cafe with an open, airy vibe serving light fare & famed chocolate chip cookies.

Ten years ago, three dreamers set out to build a restaurant in the middle of a beloved River Oaks nursery.

We named it Tiny Boxwoods, after the little potted trees that can always be found throughout the garden.

We didn’t have enough staff to open for breakfast or lunch, so we spent the first week giving out lattes for free to anyone that walked in the door.

In some ways, we had no idea what we were doing. Build a beautiful space, cook fresh, from-scratch food, create a culture of happy employees that would be proud of the work we were doing, and then just hope people came.

Nestled next to the nursery that inspired it all, our original Tiny Boxwoods remains a pocket of tranquility where people are happy to just be, sipping espresso on the patio or sharing a crisp salad and time with friends.

Please note that while we truly treasured the experience, we no longer host weddings at any of our locations.

We wanted to create something that would become a part of people’s lives. A place they could call their happy place. With all the change and growth in the last 10 years, we remain as proud of our Tinys today as we were the day we opened.
