We have love stopping by Royalty Pecans for years, but today was a huge disappointment. There was…read moreno sign of activity anywhere and the shop was closed. Not just closed, completely empty. There was a no sign on the door, nothing. On-line was simply a statement "temporarily closed". No explaination. No indication of when it might reopen. This business has always been friendly and welcoming. Evidently they've lost their edge. Makes us wonder if we should go the extra miles again.

If you drove by this place, it worth you a stop. They have a great variety of pecan products, from…read moredifferent types of pecan in the shell, to shelled half/pieces of pecan in the bags, to roast pecan with different flavors, to pecan butter, coffee, toffee, pie, etc... the store is super neat and people working there are very friendly. I love how you can order different types of pecan. I had 1lbs of all 4 different types, and asked them to shell it for me. You can taste and compare the difference at home, then next time, just order your favorite type.

I took my parents here because they are fans of the show and always watch it together…read more We drove all the way from Houston to College Station, thinking that the store was WAY bigger than what it actually was. After staying a few minutes and getting a few shirts, there was literally nothing else to do. So we went to a little farmers market after and went back to Houston. At least now they can say they went!

"Howdy! And welcome to the Texas Bucket List."…read more On a recent day trip to College Station, one of the things I wanted to do was visit the TBL Store and Studio because I am a huge fan of this show! Texas isn't just honky tonks and BBQ (though our BBQ is da best!); we are an incredibly diverse state and this show really does a great job of highlighting that. I'm a life long Texan, but I've learned about so many cool and quirky places around the state from watching this show. The store offers all sorts of Texas related items. Mugs, cutting boards, t-shirts, etc. You can find a lot of cute TX themed items. They also sell merchandise of places they have featured on the show. One of my favorite merchandise items was from El Arroyo in Austin (for those who don't know, El Arroyo is famous for their snarky marquee messages). They had funny puzzles, mugs, stickers, etc. We probably stood there for a good 5 minutes just reading all of the funny messages. The young lady that was working was very sweet and helpful. Unfortunately Shane (the host) and his wife weren't there, but there was a life size cardboard cut out of him that you could take a picture with lol. The TBL Hummers were parked out front which was cool to see. If you're a fan of the show or are looking for TX themed merchandise, this is a great little store to visit.

My partner and I came here to paint pottery for eachother as mementos and for a nice memory…read more The staff was very welcoming and helpful to beginners and answered all the niche questions I had about glazes and what I should or shouldn't do (I'm an over thinker so I had a lot of questions). They were very patient and explained everything I was curious about in depth. They didn't make me feel like any of my questions were dumb or unnecessary. The staff also regularly checked up on us. I also liked that they gave off a calm vibe. I'd say that the staff was one of the best parts about this place. My piece was the mug. I am an artist in multiple medias but this was pretty new to me and I had fun with working with glaze. Although my piece didn't come out as well as I had hoped, I still love it and appreciate things made by hands with care and effort. I also learned a lot for the next time I come around. I hope to try the to-go kit. My partner doesn't have art experience but he still found it easy to work with the glazes and he had a good time. I ended up painting my mug until closing, but they did allow me to take my piece home and come back the next day to finish, which I appreciated. I did like the selection of all the different mugs and plates and everything, and I would say it's pretty decently sized, but during my visit I also did wish a little bit they had just a little more in terms of kitchen stuff. Though I understand something like that might be hard to achieve space-wise and cost-wise. I'd say the selection is good overall. During the making of my mug, I did like that they supplied markers (the marker ink disappears during firing!) as well as a paper for me to draft my design and lay it out on the mug. As an artist, the first sketch is very important to me. I also liked the brush selection. I did find brushes that suited my needs, but I also feel like a lot of the bigger brushes need to be replaced with new ones, as they felt frayed and hard to control. They had a big selection of other tools such as stencils, stamps, and these little bottles with needle droppers for fine detailing. The glazes were easy to locate and there was enough bottles for everybody. I liked that it specified they are lead-free and food safe as that is something I was concerned about. I also liked the little magnetic tiles on display to preview finished glaze colors and layers. The magnets made it easy compare how certain colors looked alongside another and imagine how your fired product would look. They also provide special pencils to leave a special message or your name on the piece with. Both days I brought a drink and a snack, which was a really nice experience. I liked that we could bring food and drink in, it made it a lot more fun and enjoyable. I also liked that the environment wasn't too loud with chatter or annoying music, allowing me to relax while I painted (especially as somebody with sensory issues). There were people talking at other tables but it isn't bothering. The cost isn't annoying, I'd say it's satisfactory and simple; just whatever you painted + studio/processing fee. I think for what I and my partner painted, the prices for the pottery itself were reasonable, as well as the studio fee. As for the finishing time, they got it out sooner than expected (a few days after submitted) which was satisfactory. Pickup was pretty quick and simple. The mug I made has found its home as my partner's coffee mug and my partner's lemon catch-all has found a home as a lovely scent wax bowl for our new candle warmer. Overall I'm pretty satisfied and I see myself coming again to paint gifts for my parents. Attatched are process photos, as well as a finished product photo and a few photos of the location.
