The first room you enter ...beware ...a large glass display counter that contained home made pastries all made fresh onsite! They even had a few gluten free items. I snatched a gluten free apple streudel and continued onto to the next small room where drinks can be purchased. Found out any drink can be made decaffeinated, sweeet, thank you! Ordered a decaf with oat milk and a few pumps of hazelnut. It was perfect! No after caffeine side effects noted. I also get a glimpse of the kitchen in between the 2 rooms, where all the goodies are made. There are two small indoor rooms with various seating arrangements and seating outdoors. We grabbed a small table for two inside. I thoroughly enjoyed my strudel and coffee. Note: they make and sell their own ground coffee with a special of buy 3 bags and get 1 free. T shirts are available for sale as well. All proceeds from sales goes to local fire and police departments! Come check them out!

We were short on time, so wanted to order something quick. Ordered 2 Willie Nelson Lattes & 2 muffins from the case. No special order. Waited OUTSIDE, our receipt said OUTSIDE.. we waited for 28 MINUTES outside! My husband went to window to ask about our short, simple order & "oops!" our coffees were sitting inside. GEEZ! For how long?! Then- where were our muffins?? Oh- we'll get them. We left & had to eat in the car- coffee was decent, the muffins were hard & stale. Geez! Not a good experience. Def wont bother going back. I'm also not "adding tip" ahead of time anymore either.

Once we arrive, parking was around the side of the building and it had an open concept where kids could play in the back area. When we arrived inside, we were quickly greeted, and the smell of coffee was in the air. The staff were extremely nice and explained their top sellers of their seasonal menu. Census place was called coffee and beer. I decided to get both and tried one of their special beers that were cold brew. both coffee and beer were great and I would definitely love to come back again. So if you're ever in the mood for some delicious coffee and some exceptional beer along with outdoor family time, then this is the place for you!

Pumpkin wasn't my personal favorite, but my husband loved it--it was his top pick, so it really comes down to taste. The plain cheesecake slice was also delicious and a great choice if you prefer a classic flavor. I liked being able to choose between individual jars and traditional slices, with plenty of varieties available. The shop is cute, and the jars make a fun take-home treat. My picks would be the strawberry jar and plain cheesecake, while my husband would happily choose pumpkin again!

I just left out of this location at 1604 in Bandera for some reason the young lady who's working behind the counter took my order. I included a tip. I ordered one delicious drink, which would've took about three minutes to make. I have to be somewhere just like everybody else does. I am very disappointed that she would allow whoever that was the health inspector to come in and start talking with her and I'm pretty sure the inspector told her to finish up with me the customer which makes sense however she chose to leave my order unfinished undone on the counter while she went in the back and proceeded to take the inspector around the back storage area and looked out the back door. Well, I'm standing up there waiting. I believe that it's just unprofessional very poor customer service and this is why people do not like to tip before receiving service. She would not like to have been waited on like that, or serve like that nor the person whom she was escorting around the store. Now that is what you call poor customer service. It takes three minutes maybe four to complete my order. There was no reason for you to have been all over the store with someone who appears to have been there before I got there and would more than likely be there for short period of time after I left so three minutes to take my order and complete completed. Will not have put that personal you behind schedule just very disappointed you should never have someone up there waiting around like that that was very unprofessional and you would not have liked for me to have served you that way it was not OK and it was wrong and you knew it!
