We were greeted by the same friendly employee when I visited the prior week, and she gave us each a stamp punch card - after so many you get a freebie coffee. FYI they also serve smoothies, not posted yet, and they can make them dairy free! My friend and I shared a Rueben sandwich and chicken salad croissant. Great flavors, but for me the Rueben shined! Lots of flavor. $1 more. My decaf latte with oat milk ($2 extra) and sugar free Belgian cookie syrup was nice. The price for the oat milk was steep, I don't think I've ever paid that much extra. I may skip it next time and go for the caffeine free teas. I ordered a hippie bar and honey glazed pecans to go. I really enjoyed the hippie bar- peanut butter, gluten free oats, chia, seeds, and dried cranberries. Lots of seating inside. There's a conference room- free of charge for ministry meetings and a mic area up front. The owner stopped by our table and greeted us, I just love supporting this local fam owned business. Oh and when we visited the women's restroom... I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful sky ceiling and bird sounds. So soothing and relaxing... I felt like I was transported to a gorgeous serene garden. Big smile on my face!

The only issue is that it closes early and is super packed on weekends with limited parking. My best option has been coming for lunch when possible during the week. It is absolute heaven enjoying their peach Moscato with a good book while catching some vitamin D as butterflys flutter around me. I don't care what type of day I'm having, this place makes it better instantly. They often have great deals. The last time I went they gave me some free cheese sticks with my purchase. It was very nice of the workers to let me sample a few options before deciding, and the customer service was smiley and friendly just as you would expect for such a classy and beautiful spot. I highly recommend this one if you need to decompress or just if you want to get out and enjoy the sun on your skin.

Finally made the trek over to check out Wildseed Farms. We came across this place accidentally as…read morewe were leaving Enchanted Rock. At that time, there was nothing going on and nothing growing so we decided to come back around when spring was happening. So this time around, definitely more popular, more cars and people wanting to check the place out. Essentially I was expecting this to be more of a field of flowers. But, it's basically that (although there wasn't much of it yet, just some flowers to see) and garden decor, pots, gifts, wine, pickled things, plants and LOTS of wildflower seeds to plant at home. The plants, some were decently priced, most were a little pricier. Just depends on which ones. Majority of the ones we wanted were a little better price wise vs going to home depot, at least we think so! We walked around the adventure trail (since it was free) to get some steps in and have the kids burn some of their energy out while roaming around (minus my toddler, she would want to run away and fast haha so I changed my mind on that idea). The trail itself was open, spacious and a great way to get some fresh air. You can be lucky enough to catch some glimpses of some flowers that could be sprouting out even though there's not much! The shops: they had different types of store fronts, one for food/snack/pickled items alongside a small cafe where you can order beer and wine, another for more accessories, clothing and some planting items too! They had standing wine tasting area near the trail walking area if you want to walk around with some wine. Parking: so much parking, so definitely not to worry although I can image it being more difficult when the flowers really bloom in their field.

The drive…read moretakes you through the beautiful Texas Hill Country, making the journey just as enjoyable as the destination. There's plenty of parking when you arrive. The tasting begins with a tray of olive oils and fresh bread. The host walks you through each olive oil and balsamic vinegar, explaining their flavors, differences, and best uses. I had no idea there were so many varieties of olive oil! It was such a fun and informative experience!

Our first time making the drive out to Texas Hill Country Olive Co came on a Saturday afternoon!…read more It is definitely off the beaten path, and took us just about 45 mins to arrive from Austin. We can specifically for the 2pm curated olive Oil tasting, and we had somewhat of a mixed experience. The tasting started a bit late, and there wasn't much direction or acknowledgment of our crew waiting around unsure of where to go or what to do. Once we were finally invited into the tasting room, they were missing a couple of place settings, so we had to wait while more were prepared. The tasting itself was a very cool experience. We were guided through about 8 different oils and 4 balsamic. We talked about the production, processing, health benefits, and practical application of olive oil! The course instructor was nice, but some of the information she provided seemed suspect--perhaps more geared towards promoting THCOC oil than providing object facts (haha). The room was also freezing cold (a comment made by a few different parties). Ok I'm done complaining haha... the space itself is beautiful, and some of the oils we tasted were sublime. It really was amazing the difference in taste between different varieties and blends of olives. The infusions were very fun, business' story was fascinating. Beautiful, inspiring, and also tragic. Highly recommend visiting just to support the owner and his family. We will definitely buy their oil in the future!

Got some Chicken Empanadas, Mira Matcha Iced Latte & Fresh Japanese Eggplant. She got a Shredded Chicken with Cream Cheese Stuffed Coxhina from Pingo De Mel Bakery. I chose the Chimichurri sauce with my Empanada and it had a slight kick to it with the red peppers. There were a lot of stands today and people and I'm thinking it's because of the Father's Day holiday and extra offerings as well. There were gourmet Oysters on the Half Shell, Aperol Spritzers and free Frozen Blackberry Icesticks they were handing out near the Pullman Market. We walked around The Pullman Market but it was quite busy by 12pm. I saw Beet colored fresh Pasta and would like to try one of their fresh Tagliatelle next time. There was a Lavender vendor, Sourdough Vendor, a few Farmer vendors with fresh fruit and veggies, Kettle Korn vendor, Mushroom vendor I've bought Lion's Mane from before so good to see them, Dog Chews vendor and other vendors. Lots of samples around in the Farmer's Market area that spanned from CIA to the Pullman Market. Street Parking is free for 2-hours and there's all-day parking in the outdoor Pearl lots for $13. The Koehler Garage is free for 30 minutes then 2-5 hours is $10 and another charge for more hours. The Oxbow Garage is less expensive but further away. Check the Pearl Parking rates on their website. There are a lot more shaded areas to sit now.

Pearl Farmers Market is one of my favorite weekend activities!…read more This farmers market has been going on for a couple of years and it just keeps getting bigger and better with each year. On Saturdays they host more of the classic "farmers market" where you can find local produces from around the area. However, on Sundays they host a "makers market" where is mainly produce and stuff made by amazing local businesses. The market has grown so much in the last couple of years that now truly covers the entire outdoor space of The Pearl. For the summer they changed their hours and markets start at 9am and I believe in winter they will move it back to 10am. They also host a couple evening markets on the weekdays for those looking to stay out of the heat. This market is always such a great time and it is very family and pet-friendly! Make sure to check them out on an upcoming weekend.

This place is one of our new favorites and we will definitely be back. Ambience - plain. Nothing fancy but nice environment for a casual or semi-special evening. Price - reasonable for the portions and fresh seafood. All good. Very happy with Wahoos.

This is more like a street party with food trucks, venders and artisans. They shut the streets down. There's a huge stage with a band. Food trucks line the streets. Another area is venders and produce, seafood, and even home made items. Restaurants open their doors, they even have a small table out on the sidewalk sampling drinks. YES, looks like you can walk around with a drink in hand. I saw people selling beer in copper mugs. White Claw booth. ZAO was giving away 12 ounce drinks as well. So impressed. Had a great time. I did pay $3.00 for parking. I'm sure there is free street parking. But since I don't know my way around. I just paid at the first lot of saw that wasn't full. Well worth $3.00. I think it was for 2 hours. Can totally see people spending their whole day here getting food, listening to the band enjoying the sunshine, as the rain storm we got.
