It's a nonprofit,…read moredonation-based space where you can enjoy delicious coffee and bread while also supporting a beautiful mission. What I loved most is the sense of community here. It's a place where people can gather, connect, and help support those who may need a little extra kindness and generosity. Knowing that something as simple as stopping for a cup of coffee can help pour back into the community makes the experience that much sweeter. Great coffee, delicious bread, wonderful people, and an even better purpose. Definitely worth a stop when you're in Hico!

My favorites are the pecan pie bar and the Italian cream bar. The true star of the show are the Key Lime fried pies, but they are NOT sold here.

Bent Bucket is about 5 miles off of I 20, so take a short detour that you won't regret!

We picked mini cinnamon bun, mini blueberry bun & mini pigs in blanket. Enjoyed all 3 & the mini size was perfect.

There was no wait to be served & the staff were kind & friendly!!! Will make this a regular pit stop on these trips!

They had kolaches, both the pastry type and the sausage type, plus breakfast burritos and other meaty items. The maple bacon donut, it was really good. The apple fritter was smallish, but very good. The lady inside were super nice. It was busy with limited space inside. It's a small store, not a lot of room, but very friendly.

Uh oh. Look out. Next door to Happy Days Dinner in Mineral Wells is "Dry Creek Farm Barns and…read moreBakery". Oh my. I had to force myself out the door because I'm a sweet-aholic. When you walk in the door you are offered a sample of coffee or tea. Then you immerse yourself in shopping for some of the best looking sweet treats and other great kitchen Knick Knacks. My wife has recently started drinking leaf tea. They had the perfect cup (see picture below). I couldn't resist taking home some lemon bars, chocolate cupcakes with chocolate cream cheese frosting, and snickerdoodle's. Not all of the snickerdoodle's made it home . I cannot begin to describe the snickerdoodle. Most are a glorified sugar cookie with cinnamon. Not these. The cinnamon has a different flavor than most. Not super strong. The cookie itself reminds me of a gingerbread cookie in color only. The texture is akin to a Teacake cookie. And the cookie is not as sweet as most snickerdoodle's. I want more. I can't wait to try the other sweets. All I have to say is it's a good thing I don't live close. Thank you for the hospitality and for making such a delicious cookie. UPDATE: The chicken salad was so good. Loved the crunch of the finely chopped onions and celery. The pimentos added a nice touch. The chicken had some chunks that added to the texture of the salad. Spices were used sparingly. I couldn't single out the taste of an individual spice. To me that's just right. Then I couldn't tell if it was mayonnaise or yogurt used to blend the flavors. Oh and I was told they used egg. Overall it is a fantastic salad, though, my wife wouldn't touch it. Didn't have her grapes and nuts. The cupcake was very good. The cake was like a real chocolate cake. Not as spongy as most cupcakes. Soft and moist. The frosting is a chocolate cream cheese frosting. Not what I was expecting. I was expecting something akin to the icing on an Italian Cream Cheese cake with a more noticeable cream cheese taste flavored with cocoa. Don't get me wrong. It was good .... just wasn't what I was expecting. Kind of like picking up your tea glass only to find it's filled with soda. One more to go.
