Walked in super cute and quaint not packed at all. Front counter was nice and clean there were menus up front to order placed and everything seemed reasonably priced. I ordered a Cesar salad as well as my friend and I got an Italian soda for my drink. We also ordered two cookies. We sat down took about 35 ish minutes for salads to come out and when we got our salad it was a house salad and not a Cesar salads. We didn't want to wait so we decided to just eat that came. Italian soda was really good the salad was delicious and the cookie was super hard I couldn't even break it in half bc it was so hard I ended up tossing it. Overall good vibes

There doesn't seem to be any Cajun on this menu, but the food was still good and the service was friendly. My favorite was the hummus! Such good flavors and great homemade pita chips! It's a bit chaotic for dining when the ice cream business picks up. The choice seating would be a high top near the entry way.

Little dinosaur figurines the kiddos love to collect! Will be back again!

Pricing was a little steep for me- $18 for two coffees was a little surprising- but the quality was there so it will have to be an occasional treat to look forward to! I don't get coffee out very often anyways. The owner (I assume she was the owner) was sooo helpful, she helped talk me through the options and was patient with it being my first visit. I didn't know the drill on how everything worked. Super cute shop, love that it's connected to some kids activities- I'll have to look into signing my sons up for jiu jitsu or play in the kids space.

My friend works as an engineer at SpaceX, and I've always been curious and wanted to do the tour…read more Unfortunately, they require 72 hours' notice to get approved for a pass. Since it was my last day in town and I was headed to the airport later, we didn't have enough time to arrange it. Instead, he suggested taking me to Boring Bodega, which is located literally across the street from the SpaceX Bastrop Facility, so at least I could snap a few photos from there. I was seriously confused at first because pulling up to Boring Bodega feels a little like stumbling into a pop-up oasis in the middle of rural Texas. This place looks more like the entrance to a country fair than a cafe. Off to the side, a row of food trucks greets you like an informal welcome committee, their colorful signs and picnic tables giving the place a casual, anything-goes vibe. Lol. Then you walk inside... and suddenly it makes sense. Boring Bodega is a unique "future fancy" grocery store and community hub located in the heart of Hyperloop Plaza. Owned by Elon Musk's Boring Company, the place blends like a full-service market with a modern, tech-forward aesthetic. Think Silicon Valley startup energy meets Texas roadside market. Walking aisle to aisle, you realize this place has a little bit of everything going on. One section feels like a boutique grocery market, stocked with high quality snacks, pantry staples, and grab and go foods. Another aisle carries drinks of every kind like sodas, energy drinks, sparkling waters plus a massive beer and wine selection. They even have shelves dedicated to pet food and pet supplies, which makes sense because people seem to hang out here for a while. Toward the back you'll find a his & hers barber shop, which caught me completely off guard in what I initially thought was just a convenience store. There are also spaces designed for community hangouts and games, and outside you'll spot pickleball courts, making it feel less like a store and more like a social hub for the surrounding tech campus. My friend also mentioned something pretty cool. Apparently, there's a tunnel employees can take from inside SpaceX that connects underground to Hyperloop Plaza, so employees there can pop over here without even going outside. Not sure if that's insider privilege or just peak Elon-universe infrastructure, but it definitely adds to the whole futuristic vibe of the place. And yes--they also do made to order sandwiches and light cafe items. Since it was my last day before heading to the airport, my friend and I grabbed a quick lunch here. I ordered the $10 Falafel Veggie Pita and my friend went with the $13 Carne Asada Protein Bowl. The portions were massive and the quality was fresh. Overall, Boring Bodega is one of those places that defies easy categorization. It's part grocery store, part cafe, part hangout, and part tech campus convenience hub all sitting across the street from SpaceX in Bastrop.

My husband and I have stopped by Boring Bodega several times to get snacks for picnics. We went…read morethis Wednesday, and got some yummy snacks, but the vibes were off. Three quarters of the building was dark. The building is already odd enough. It would make sense to convert a warehouse, but to build a new warehouse building in hopes of creating a store and hangout area is strange. My husband thought it was fine, so I guess that's what you get when a man (especially Elon Musk) attempts interior design. I like how they offer unique healthy snacks. However, this time I decided to try food from their hot food counter. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich, which is one of my favorite foods. You could add meat to it for an upcharge, but I wanted to see how it was as a pure grilled cheese first. It was underwhelming, but only $6, so I'm not too salty about it. It is basically a panini with just cheese, and the bread to cheese ratio is off. Not enough cheese. However, with meat, as a traditional panini, it would probably be pretty good. I think the bread was sourdough. There was a short wait for the sandwich, which made it almost as convenient as any of the prepackaged snacks.

We will be back to try more of the menu- although my husband may continue to order the chicken because it was just that good. My pasta was a big enough portion to take some home and was even better heated up when all the sauce had soaked in. The beat puree was unique and really set the dish apart from typical pesto pasta meals. The half chicken was more like a whole chicken- but who is complaining? So glad we started with the tartare- the chef told us to take the spoon and push down the top to get a perfect bite size of everything to put in the seaweed roll- it was a refreshing start to the meal. We didn't try any wine but it was the first Monday of the month so lots of people from the wine club were there enjoying themselves which looked like a lot of fun. Do yourself a favor and stop in to Pluto's the next time you're strolling down Main Street- you won't regret it!

There were plenty of drink options to choose from, and the menu definitely caught our attention, which is what brought us in. We started with the nachos with beef. They were pretty good overall, though the Velveeta-style cheese wasn't our favorite. The meat lovers pizza was a hit -- thin crust, well-cooked, and full of flavor. The main reason we came was for the chicken wings, and unfortunately, those were a bit disappointing and left us wanting more. However, the owner personally came over to apologize and explained that those were not the wings they normally serve. He even comped us $10 in cash, which was a very appreciated and classy gesture. The staff was friendly throughout our visit, and because of how the situation was handled, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and plan to come back again to let them redeem themselves.

Regardless of the glowing commentary found on TripAdvisor or other tourist-driven platforms, I…read morewould encourage readers to approach such praise with a healthy degree of skepticism. While the restaurant presents itself as charming at first glance, the illusion quickly fades upon closer inspection. The facilities are notably dated, with restrooms that feel neglected rather than merely "vintage." Unfortunately, the food follows suit. The chicken arrived undercooked to the point of being unacceptable, the salads were devoid of flavor, and the mashed potatoes--if one dares to try them--proved equally disappointing. I found myself seated at the counter, making pleasant conversation with a delightful young waitress, which, regrettably, became the highlight of the entire experience. Any lingering amusement, however, was quickly diminished by a particularly persistent fly that seemed intent on joining me for dinner. In short, an establishment that relies far too heavily on appearance and reputation, while neglecting the fundamentals that truly matter.
