Peter M.

Nothing special about this coffee house, coffee is good, it's hot and it's pricey. On a cold Sunday morning expect a long wait.

Jim N.

Stopped by Java Ranch for a grab and go coffee and snack over the weekend. Coffee was good, could have been hotter. Sausage cheese biscuit was great, highlight the flaky biscuit. Very comfortable space, maintains the original architecture of the building on Main Street. Plenty of merch for those inclined. Nice place to visit for coffee and breakfast treat.

We stopped in here after checking out a couple other coffee shops in the area. I got their honey Lavender Latte and it was great. I would recommend stoping in!

Blueberry breech matcha
Neha G.

Great coffee place. We got to try the iced blueberry breech matcha which was from their March special menu and blueberry muffin. Upon request, they were able to heat it up. Both items were really good and were around $10-11. Mix of old and modern vibes, will definitely recommend this.

Vanilla and Hazelnut Oat Latte with cold foam
Nichelle R.

I got a vanilla hazelnut oat milk latte and it was deliciousss! It was super enjoyable. The service was good too but the only thing I would say is I would've appreciated if my order got called out or something because I was sitting in the back and couldn't really see when my drink was out. The overall shop is pretty welcoming and has a cozy vibe to it. There is also plenty of sitting and makes a nice place to sit down and chat with family or friends.

Coffee
Steve B.

Good Coffee and good service. Passing through Fredericksburg on a Sunday morning and we were pleased to find Java ranch. Limited food items but that was not the reason for the stop.

Cappuccino
Albert A.

Drink was a little darker than I would expect, but smooth (opted for oat milk). Service was excellence. Ambience was as expected for a busy Saturday - felt like a mini merit coffee. Also tasted the cinnamon pecan scone and it was decent. Would not fight a crowd to eat here, but if on the way I would not mind stopping by - just didn't stand out for me.

Right on Main Street
Jamie C.

Great little place right on Main Street for a quick breakfast bite. Fast, friendly service. There are a couple outdoor tables available or enjoy your breakfast in the cozy cafe. Highly recommend the French toast muffin!

Saloon style!
Alyssa Marie H.

Fun Saloon style and walk up coffee bar inside. Fun flavors, I had the Banana one. It was interesting. Not in a bad way, but I might want to try something different next time. Friendly service!

Raspberry Matcha !
Shay K.

A beautiful coffee shop with lots of coffee choices and delicious pastries. I had a perfectly made hot latte and visited 3 times while I town. A definite must if you like coffee!

Deja
Sam M.

Very good I drank a matcha and Deja had a coffee, big fan I would come back, very nice

Matcha latte (oat milk) and cafe latte (oat milk)
Kathy H.

I come here many times when I visit Fredericksburg. Such a cute place to read a book, hangout with friends/family, and even work. Their coffee is delicious as well as their other none coffee drinks. They do have a small selection of smalls bites which is also taste. I would recommender the wrapped hotdog. The employees are quick and knowledgeable.

Cozy spot, great coffee. The cashier was very helpful she took time to explain the specials.

This is our favorite brunch in Fred…read more Sam has taken care of us many times and she's wonderful! The whole staff here is top notch. They updated their porch to have more coverage which will be great once summer really hits. Inside is great too. We've sat in all the areas. We went all out for our brunch date (mom & dad time out). Cold brew with vanilla, caramel iced latte... yummmm! We started with zucchini fries and they were hot, crunchy and delicious. I had the brunch burger (it was huge!) with sweet potato fries. I love their sweet potato fries. Husband tried the special- biscuit love - says it's good for anyone who loves gravy and brunch dessert was the banana French toast - we got the banana on the side and a side of berries. Yum yum yum. Soft and pillowy. Thank you Sam! See you soon :)

My husband and I stopped in on a Saturday morning around 8:30 and were seated right away! Our…read moreserver Cassie greeted us almost immediately and was friendly and attentive from start to finish. She really made the experience. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, substituting bacon for ham, with a biscuit and gravy on the side. The Eggs Benedict was good. I loved the unexpected touch of Swiss cheese, which added a nice twist to a classic dish. The hollandaise was a little on the sour side, but the bacon was cooked perfectly. The biscuit and gravy was the real star of my meal, so good that I almost wish I had ordered it as my main! Definitely getting that next time. My husband went for The Big Ass Sandwich and loved it. Fair warning- it lives up to its name. It's big, it's messy, and it's absolutely worth it. He said the same thing I was thinking: we need to come back. We'll definitely be returning on our next trip to Fredericksburg. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great breakfast spot with good food and even better service!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This beautiful little restaurant is located right underneath a little hotel apartment that I…read moreregularly visit with my friends. I was very excited to write this review about the positive experience and I had here. In my images, I showcase a beautiful French omelette. It is so easy for people to get omelettes wrong and overcook them until they are a rubbery mess. But mine was very soft, decadent, and fluffy with a very beautiful balance of all flavors present in the dish. I also appreciated the salad that came with it because I think starting the day off with some fiber is very healthy for the body. In the past, I've had the steak and eggs and it was one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. But when I came to visit on this specific day, they were out and happily recommended the omelettes instead. It can get crowded, but I don't agree with the reviews here that say the restaurant gets too loud. Let's be honest. Fredericksburg has a certain type of demographic and at times I feel they are unfairly nitpicky to the local businesses. When the restaurant is crowded, it's lively and full of smiling faces and servers who are eager to serve and make sure that you enjoy your meal. Restaurant was also clean on our visit and the restrooms were well taken care of. I can't wait to come again for breakfast!

The coffee cups were filled all the way to the top so we couldn't add anything to them. The matcha martini was ok, truffle fries were cooked to perfection. Our pancakes were black and burnt to a crisp then "hidden" under powered sugar. Same thing with the monte cristo. Disappointed with several things on this visit the bathroom also did not have toilet paper.

Hill and Vine is one of the spots in Fredericksburg that uses high quality ingredients and cooks…read morethem properly. The atmosphere is very classic. The vibe is southern classy. I love the set up of the main dining room. I'm always a fan when you can see the kitchen preparing the dishes from your table. Hill and vine pairs their excellent food with some amazing local wines. We tried the William Chris to pair with the pork chop (which was excellent). We started the meal out with the mahi ceviche. What a flavor bomb! Highly recommend. Service was perfect. Attentive, but not overly so. I always think the price is very fair considering the quality of ingredients and the care put into the dishes. Will be back for sure when in the hill country.

The place so good we went twice in one day…read more Our first visit for lunch was wonderful, eating out every meal on vacation is hard for us so I wanted something lighter midday. We had Kristen as our server, she was so attentive and sweet. To start we tried the sweet cornbread, lavender mint lemonade, and regular lemonade. The lavender mint lemonade was one of the best drinks I've had in a while. For our meals he had the BLTA with fries and I had the avocado and lime salad with tri tip steak. Absolutely stellar food, quality ingredients and great flavors. We had leftovers for sure, lol, something to eat on the drive back to DFW the next day. For dinner, we sat outside and had Jess as our server. She was also really nice, she had quite a few tables and still managed to give us plenty of attention. We had carnitas nachos and the ground beef soup. The carnitas nachos are... unnecessarily large. lol Luckily the soup bowl was very small so I was able to help the boyfriend with some nachos. But my small effort was not enough and he tapped out of the nachos at the halfway mark. Highly recommend the nachos if you have four friends with you. =D This was a great restaurant with a lovely outdoor space. If we lived in Fredericksburg, I could easily see us making this a monthly hang out on Friday nights. If you have the chance, make sure to get in with Kristen or Jess, you won't be disappointed.
