Cool variety of jams and butters
Lisa K.

What a cool store!! We didn't even get to look at everything because it was a hot day and even in the store it was hot. Once the weather cools we will go back! But.. to start off.. walk in the door and they have a counter you can sit to enjoy some of their delicious ice cream. We got a scoop of blackberry cobbler. They have everything from the old fashion wooden rubber band guns to Coon hats. Boots, shirts, jewelry and all kinds of cool toys. Books, knifes, shot glasses, pretty much any little trinket you could want. They also have local salsas and jams, seasons and nut butters to sample. The young lady working was very sweet. Very welcoming. Plan to go back when we arent overheating

We stopped for the ice cream and was a treat! Lots to choose from banana splits to sundes or maybe a nice scoop of rockyroad. The ice cream is good quality and the staff is friendly. Souvenirs and candy treats can be found through the store. Historic building built over 100 years ago and used to be the Old Cox Dance Hall. Original floors and ceilings gives that old time rustic feel. Great spot on a hot day to cool your heals and enjoy some treats. Stop by Bandara the Cowboys capital of the world and see the shops on main and the historic places and stop by the Bandara General Store.

Many websites say" Bendera General Store is an icon of the world capital of the cowboys". I just stopped by. Luckily, I found one parking spot in front of the store. I went inside. I saw a lot of souvenirs that were super expensive. I was thinking about the ice cream. It was $8. If I could go to a Dollar General store, the ice cream is $1! LOL. I just took a selfie here! Thank you.

Suggested to us by the Sugar and Spice Ranch, I would not have even thought of stopping. You can't not come to Bandera and skip this gift shop. They have everything when it comes to souvenirs. Plus the old fashioned ice cream parlor is a big plus. We loved it on this very hot afternoon!

A real nice old store

Fun little tourist trap with all the usual goodies one finds at a Texas souvenir shop. The thing we liked best and what we ended up getting were the walking sticks. Hub got a nice one of local wood. I got one that was turned on a lathe. Come to find out, it was from the owner's private collection. He got it in London. He had the full story on it. I loved visiting with him and talking about the store. Take some time to drop in and chat. It's a good time.

Must Do! It's a…read moreTexas themed store. It also has some super unique items... like those Pappy's wood chips when you first walk in the door. IYKYK. Pappy is a ultra high end Kentucky bourbon. $$$ The staff is exceptional! Each time I've been in this past year, they have been great! First time to visit was in April for my birthday. Walking around town alone checking out Downtown. I had heard about Texas Salt next door, so stopped in there first. Then moseyed over to Salty which ended up being an event. A couple more ladies came in and three of us just kept the store manager engaged in conversation for an hour probably. And that's how I got the story of Pappy's wood chips! We also discussed how liquor stores are loosing money because of legal cannabis business such as Willie's Remedy. In the back there was a large stand up picture of my great great uncle John Wesley Hardin. The store manager mentioned he's a relative to his wife as well. JWH was the baddest old west outlaw that rarely get talked about. He wrote an autobiography, studied law while in prison, then went on to become a lawyer when he got out. So much more to the story, wish the family would finish their movie already. At that time the store was found through some changes, including name change, and I think owner change as well (which is Texas Salt next door). I'm surprised the Yelp page changed names leaving old reviews up, instead of not closing, and opening a new page. Things that make you go hummm. Anyways, don't miss out of this special store filled with Texas treasures. And as someone else mentioned, show your receipt for discount.

It looks like this is the sister property for Texas Salt Co. this is what we were told by the lady…read moreat the register. This store is way more spacious. They have everything from souvenirs to tshirts to olive oil... we got some chocolate truffles from here which we really enjoyed. The lady was super friendly and speaking of small town a lady was checking out before us. Long long conversation gossiping lol and yes I am here for it! It was so entertaining being part of the slow pace and the feel of old towns. They even have a dog roaming around the store and doing a great job being the store mascot You get 5 percent off with your receipt at the Texas Salt Co. I enjoyed my visit and I recommend checking it out
