There was hardly anyone in there eating, & there seemed to only be 2 staff members on the floor plus whoever was in the kitchen. Small menu, but they did have some sides you could swap. The inside feels like you're eating inside of an antique store or an old school building, if you like that vibe. We probably won't be returning, there wasnt really anything that wowed us here. I feel as though they could do a bit more to make it more exciting and better.

It's an Amy's ice cream counter. There is also the fresh pudding bar (free samples!). We purchased the "tiny" sized banana pudding to share (2 of us) and I'm going to tell you I was orbited into banana pudding space! It was intoxicatingly delicious. A gourmet grocery store that not only offers delectable sweets such as ice cream, banana pudding, and candy treats but they also carry grab & go snacks and meals. Don't forget the pies and gourmet gifts.

The Culinary Room would get 10 stars if I could!…read moreSpecifically, I am now obsessed with their keto pudding. Being on keto, I miss stopping in cute shops for a little treat as part of a fun day out. My husband and I were walking around Lockhart after our bbq dinner (of course) and decided to peek into The Culinary Room. I was prepared to go in and fantasize about their desserts, look at their cute trinkets, and leave, but then an employee mentioned they had keto pudding. I was skeptical, but when she mentioned it was made with allolulose, I began to trust they might know what they were doing. We ordered a medium cup of pudding, with a little of each of their three flavors. I was still nervous to eat it because I was already close to my carb limit after dinner, and only a few more carbs could kick me out of ketosis. However, once I tried a bite, I devoured the pudding, and figured I'd just deal with any consequences later. When I got home, I did a test and confirmed I was still in ketosis. Their pudding is keto tested and approved! I'm going to be frequently begging my husband for more Lockhart date nights so we can get more keto pudding!

Tried out Commerce Cafe in Lockhart and had a really solid experience overall. The roasted airline…read morechicken breast was absolutely amazing--perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. The glazed carrots had a light maple taste that paired really well with the dish. The temperature in the restaurant was perfect, which made the whole experience even more comfortable. Service was spot on too--Anna took great care of us and was incredibly patient as we shared stories and even offered a few decor suggestions. She was attentive without being overbearing. The music was great and set at just the right volume, which made it easy to relax, enjoy the meal and hear the conversation. That said, the decor could use a bit of improvement. No offense to the artist, but the prints felt a little odd and too small for the wall space. The overall layout of the restaurant could also be better--it didn't feel as cohesive as the food and service deserved. Also, the hardwood seats could use some padding for both the back and bottom to make longer visits more comfortable. All in all, definitely worth checking out for the food and atmosphere, with just a few areas that could be elevated.

Yesterday, Texas was under amber alerts for thunderstorms and heavy rains. In route from Austin to…read moreSan Antonio, TX I had to stop to get out of the rain (quite unusual for Texas). I stopped at Dos Gatos for coffee and also picked up a few sweet treats for later (wink, wink!) Dos Gatos, which I believe means two cats, is a shop for "on the go" folks...no inside seating and small space. The shop focuses on fast service, and fresh baked goods, with kolaches baked daily. Dos Gatos has a variety of items such as sweet kolaches with traditional fillings like apricot, poppy seed, strawberry, raspberry, and cream cheese. They have savory kolaches such as sausage and cheese, jalapeño sausage, chorizo, ham and cheddar, and vegetarian sausage options. The turkey sausage kolache was the standout...sometimes called a pig in the blanket. One downside of the sweet kolaches is they are rather small. I forget how small they were until my hubby mentioned also. A surprise bonus was their full espresso bar, which includes lattes, cappuccinos, mochas, chai, cold brew, etc. Pricing was at the low end of the spectrum. I purchased coffee, sweet and savory kolaches.

Just in case your favorite is still baking or sold out before you got here. Got my heart's desire of a cherry kolache and a ham and swiss for breakfast.

Made with Parmesan, Romano, Parmigiana Reggiano, rosemary and other herbs. It was hot out of the over and the aroma was astonishing. I will definitely go back next time I'm in Luling.

Everyone who works there is almost as sweet as the cookies they sell, they're helpful and really nice to talk to. I didn't get a photo of the breads I bought, so I'll include a photo of my very first sourdough bread I ever made!
