If you're the type who loves stumbling across weird, hilarious, and totally unnecessary little…read moretreasures, this novelty shop is a goldmine. The place is packed wall-to-wall with quirky gag gifts, retro knickknacks, and offbeat finds you didn't even know you needed--think everything from sarcastic coffee mugs to oddball toys and prank gifts that'll have you cracking up on the spot. The vibe is playful and light, and the staff totally leans into the fun. They're happy to help you pick out something ridiculous for your friend's birthday, or just let you wander and laugh at the shelves for a while. It's one of those spots you stop into "just to look" and somehow walk out with three things you had no intention of buying--but no regrets.

Seems this place has gone downhill this year or doesn't care anymore. Could not find any candy…read moreexcept jaw breakers or rock candy, most of the candy jars are empty broken and dirty, what they call "handmades" were basically empty, the restroom looked like it had not been cleaned in weeks and now I had a surprise topping on my ice cream cone, a black pubic looking hair. Pretty damn gross. I couldn't even find an employee when I went in, no one was around and then I saw one girl just standing in the back on her phone, did not greet me at all until I said hello a few times. I was there a couple times in September and October and it seemed different then. The manager was very friendly and helpful, store was clean and pretty well stocked and it was a completely different experience than the one I had recently. What's going on?

Lots of variety. Everything from bible studies, and reference bibles, to gifts. The staff were…read moreextremely friendly and helpful. I'm sure some of the items you could have gotten a little cheaper online, however I love supporting our small local businesses. You just can't get the same customer service elsewhere. I came in for bible highlighters and bible tabs. They not only had them, but multiple options as well. I'll be back for sure.

They have so many things in the store from jewelry, to dog clothes to wind chimes. My daughter is really into bracelets so I got her one and myself one too. I really appreciate that they are handmade and from quality materials. If you are in Bastrop stop by Harmony Ridge and check out Dallasnfriends. You won't regret it!

Found myself in Bastrop, Texas after dropping my car off for service in South Austin…read more Asked the wife where'd she want to go for breakfast and she replied Bastrop. After breakfast at "Maxine's Cafe" (see review), we walked the downtown area and were in search for a restroom. We found the visitor center museum. The ultra nice people invited us to take the museum tour with a free veterans access. So I paid my $5 for my wife and we took the self guided tour. We read the plaques and history of the city of Bastrop. Then we ran into the guided tour guide. As it was just us, we got a private tour of the museum. There is a lot of history in the state of Texas. Seems like each city has its own unique story. I invite you all to get out and explore this great state. Especially the downtown areas. Don't just drive through, get out and walk. Grab an ice cream and explore this great state. Michael C. - Georgetown l, Tx.

On our first trip to Bastrop, I saw the painted brick wall with directions to the visitor center on…read moreMain. We had no clue what to look for, what to do, so I figured to hell with it, let's go to the visitor's center and see what they suggest. We parked right by the door and when we walked in, this teeny bopper pounced on us and welcomed us in. She was very friendly and asked us where we were from, what we were doing, etc. She suggested a couple of wine tasting events, a couple of restaurants and left us to browse through their pamphlets and brochures. I suddenly had to use the restroom which left the rest of the fam to hang out with said teeny bopper. When I came back, I saw her pop in a video and tell everyone to just go ahead and turn the tv off when the video was finished. I asked, "What's this?" to which I was told, "Shut up and enjoy the video." Wow. Ok. LOL! It was the history of Bastrop. Now, I've lived in and out of Texas pretty much my whole life and had no clue - none whatsoever - that Bastrop was ALMOST the state capital. It was an interesting, yet cheesy video but it fulfilled its purpose. There was a lot of information available (and not just for Bastrop - they had info for a lot of Texas destinations).

ALL of the staff was welcoming, kind and so informative! The store is so inviting and each of our kids found something to buy. Anything that you or your family want to do in Austin, come here first and early and they can get you on a tour or whatever you're looking to do!

When friends and family come to visit, I send them here (or I sometimes accompany them)…read more You can get anything here, from gifts and souvenirs to maps and coffee (they have a cafe). Tours are booked in and out of the center as well. A good idea if you only have limited time in Austin and want to see as much as possible. It's truly a welcoming place and a great representation of our city. I also like that there is a large room with comfy seating to rest your weary feet after a day of sightseeing, or to prep for your day of exploration. I can't say enough nice things about this place. It's clean and modern. The staff are so incredibly knowledgeable about everything related to Austin. Super friendly too.
