Woohoo!! Delicious deserts! On this trip we did not try the cakes or coffee. But we definitely…read morelove the cookies. The workers might have been the owners and they were super sweet and helpful. This looks like a great place to sip coffee, play chess or checkers, visit, or do homework. Please come and give this place a try. I know we will be back.

I am all about supporting small businesses. Well not really sure where to start for this place…read more.. I stopped in to grab a coffee as I was running around town. Walked in and the place doesn't look like it was cleaned from the previous business day or maybe longer. There was random food in the food cases that looked sketchy. The coffee/espresso machine looked dirty along with the rest of the kitchen area. There are tables and furniture all over the place. Books and games shoved in places and then random silverware out. Look I am all about having a comfy place to stop and have coffee. But this place really needs to stop and re-evaluate what is going on here with everything. I ordered a caramel macchiato and could only get the small. The guy making the drinks said after so many the machine over heats so could only do the small. It was not good, not sure what was missing but the flavor was terrible. I would not go back to this place in the state that it is today. If I was looking for a coffee place (non-chain) I'll head to Winnsboro or Quitman for the two coffee places available in both of those cities. Good luck to this business I hope for their sake they get it together and last.

Blue Horse is such a blessing to Nacogdoches! They are SO friendly and really do great work…read more Flavors are amazing and I've never ever ever had less than a great experience at blue horse and I've been going there for 2 years! I needed a last minute birthday cake, and they made it happen! Side note: their chocolate cake pops are the best I've ever had.

Bottom Line: Fudge bacon brownie had serious heft, but came…read moreup short on namesake flavors or integrity/structure. Top Line: Picked up a Blue Horse fudge bacon brownie $6 at Brendyn's BBQ yesterday along with a meal, saving the brownie as a treat for today. So returned to Brendyn's this afternoon to get tea for eating the brownie. Brownie is seriously heavy!! Very, very moist beneath the layer of baby chocolate chips and extraordinarily tender of crumb. Too much so I found. The block of chocolate cake-like brownie crumbled into pieces as I tried to pick it up. I finally resorted to pinching off small wads of it to pop into my mouth. While being very moist with oil density, the flavor profile was about on par with a supermarket bakery brownie. Plenty of chocolate taste, but minimal (if any) bacon smokiness shining through. Fudge's buttery brown sugar sweetness or cream's richness were likewise AWOL. So I'd say this was a decent $2.50 brownie. But nowhere near justifying the $6 ticket price I paid to get it, in spite of its moistness. If I'm in the neighborhood of Blue Horse's sticks 'n bricks location I may hit them up for a cupcake or some such to see how that flies. But no more brownies from them for me.
