All of this with absolutely incredible holiday decor. Of course, they carry other items but it's primarily Christmas. There is so much to see! Everything is laid out and on display in a welcoming and dare I say enticing manner. Enticing in the sense that like me, you'll want to buy everything. They've got nutcrackers and traditional decor as well as not so traditional. I bought a cool ornament for my mom's birthday in July. Because you know, Christmas in July. Service was impeccable. Super friendly and accommodating.

Christmas feel in July? Yes please! I have been to this store many times. It is in the middle of…read moredowntown Boerne. Any Christmas decoration you dream of they have it! Walking in the Christmas music is playing and the scent of nutmeg and cinnamon I guess from candles awaken your Christmas spirit. They are very friendly and welcoming. Even if you don't buy anything it is a cute store to check out

It's easy to see why this is one of the most visited cave sites for tourism worldwide and the…read moremost-visited in Texas. It's a very well-developed cave to visit. By "developed", I mean that lighting and a path has been installed to make traversing it A LOT easier than when it was discovered. By "path", I mean smooth, textured, non-slip, paved sidewalks from one end of the tour to the other--complete with stainless steel handrails along almost every step of it. The effort it took to make a cave system this accessible is beyond commendable. At one end of one of the tours there is a long uphill slope to get out of the cavern, but you don't have to walk--they have a roller/conveyor belt that you stand on and ride to the top. The erosion-carved rocky "rooms" of the cave system defy description. They are up to 100 feet tall, 100 feet wide, and over 200 feet long, and are filled with otherworldly mineral formations that have been actively "growing" for millions of years. Photos don't do this justice. When you see it in person, it's just breathtaking. Adult-only tours would be an occasional welcome option, as a less-than-silent baby/toddler ruins the silence that the below-ground space allows. Parking is abundant, but it is not free. Even out in the spacious Texas Hill Country they decided that $10 per car was appropriate. I hate paying to park (anywhere), and in a rural setting like this, it just feels like such a shameless money-grab! I wish they'd just charge more for the tours and let us feel like parking is "free". More intensive, deeper tours for small groups that require higher effort into undeveloped parts of the caverns are offered on a limited basis. This sounds like something worth returning for.

Don't buy online through third party platforms because you can't just catch an earlier time. There…read moreare plenty of discounts at hotels and restaurants because of marketing this place is well advertised. They have maze, mining (bagged dirt that are pre-stocked with gems), and a towers course all for extra money. Lots of people when we went. Parking is $10 anywhere you park. There are spots closer up because people coming and going all the time. You can pay online or via text or at pay station. Reception sucks though. We paid but I think they don't enforce or tow because I didn't see anyone checking. It looks like a pure money grab to me, which is infuriating as the parking lot is in the middle of nowhere! Would suggest buying each attraction ala cart because of the unknown wait times. Our natural bridge tour guide was horrible in terms of guiding us and providing information. YMMV is my guess. But whatever. The tour does have a couple of parts where you gotta walk up long ramps. No moving sidewalks like I saw in one pic. I wouldn't go back. And I'm not even sure I could recommend this place unless you're struggling to find something to do.

Cute store for home decor and specially for bird feed and accessories. I was in Boerne and decided…read moreto check it out. I saw a post on Instagram that they have a bat room. The shop keeper was funny I thought she heard me say bathroom not bat room. I checked it out and it has a smell similar to the Old Tunnel on the way to Fredericksburg for a moment I felt that I am out in nature. The entrance is full of birds I stood there for over 5 minutes. They look very comfortable and seem they are fed and taken care of. If you are a bird lover this place is definitely for you

I am not too thrilled with rating such a unique & local business in the heart of Boerne so low. But…read moremore disappointed in what I find is lack of customer service & quite possibly even morale, if I may explain: a couple of summers ago I remember stopping in & browsing. When I was looking at the hair & bath products to the left of the register, I over heard what I assume is the owner, and a customer, talking about shooting at squirrels with a BB gun when they would go for the bird feeder. I was flabbergasted. And horrified. I wanted to write a review & even send a letter to express my dismay but I didn't want to disparage a small business. So I decided to just not support any more. Time went by & as I grew with forgiveness, I ended up coming back to not only buy the usual premium blend bird seed, but have brought out-of-towner friends & family in which they purchased things from there, as well as greeting cards for others on special occasions. Fast forward to today, I went in to get the usual, but I was greeted by an unfamiliar face, as I had always dealt with what I am assuming is the owner. She was as sweet as a button. I really regret not getting her name. When she offered help, I told her I wanted the premium w the $7 price point, she grabbed it & I was ready to pay. She then asked "are you in our books?" I was puzzled at first, assuming maybe it's regular customers that buy large quantities for big properties. Nope. It was like a reward system where if you buy 10 bags you get 1 free. Are you kidding me?! She was even kind enough to record my last sale to count twds the free bag. I was not once ever unpleasant twds the owner. If anything, we had friendly small talk upon check out in the handful of times I've purchased from them. So not too sure why this was never offered to me. I always give the benefit of the doubt so it's rather difficult for me to think it just slipped her mind every time when you seem to run the show.

Kids: doll swings, stuffed toys, and bags Woman: pads (I know- a little different but very interesting to learn about), goat milk goodies, leather feather earrings.... Wood products, cookies, cupcakes, coffee and coffee paraphernalia.... Since there were multiple buildings, and not great signage, I did almost miss the second one but am glad I did not.

Texas Salt Co. is based out of Bandera, Texas and I've been shopping at this New Braunfels location…read morefor the past several months. They've got an outstanding selection of handcrafted salts and peppercorns. They carry other seasonings as well. In fact, a few years ago I bought a lava salt in Iceland (perfect for pork) that was phenomenal! Hadn't been able to find anything close to it. That is until Texas Salt Co. While it's not made in Iceland or of lava, the flavor of the salt they found for me matches in flavor pretty closely. They also carry Texas Beer Bread mixes that are to die for! Expert and meticulous service from staff which makes it easy to say why they're on the list of stores we frequently shop at in New Braunfels.
