    This is a really nice place, and even the guests are so welcoming when walking in. If you like strong coffee, this is not the right place to get one. Make sure you check in to get a free cookie.

    Yes, it's the real deal- the actual small town corner bakery you might have read about in old novels. But it's 2021 now, and Mom is serving up old-fashioned sandwiches on freshly baked fluffy bread. They offer a WiFi connection and will share their printer if you need it. There is a well-stocked Little Free Library just inside the door. If you decide to set a spell to read, or chat with the locals, you should order one of the pastries to go with your coffee . We scored a pair of delicious cookies to take on the road. In summary, we most definitely shall return. BTW, If you can find the Watermelon Thumping arena, you are only a few steps away from this fine bakery.

    A local favorite for coffee and bite to eat. I had a lettuce wrap. For lunch today and it was so pretty! I know that seems silly, but it was. And it tasted great too. I asked for light mayonnaise and they did it perfectly. The owner, Gretchen, was there and she really is a Mom kind of character. All the staff was friendly. It was fun to be told "I AM the menu" when I asked what they had. Besides Ice creams and about any kind of fancy coffee you can think of they have a limited menu of incredibly fresh food. The counter girl Asked a few questions and guided quickly to my selection. It really was fun. That food was great too! The bread is fresh baked every morning and the cookies are fresh baked throughout the day. No day old stuff is sold here. Now, I must go get a warm out of the oven oatmeal cookie, I could smell them baking and I think they just finished.

    Love in the time of Covid-19.... all you need is to open the door of this Main Street, well loved little bakery and you'll be wrapped in the aroma of fresh baked bread and memories of sweet times at grandmas house in the country. Staying at the nearby state park, Yelp did not disappoint bringing us here! Though we couldn't dine-in, there were a few chairs on the sidewalk in the shade and we had the cool experience of watching a train speed by as we enjoyed our lunch. We had the chicken salad garden salad, it was refreshing and delicious; just the right serving size for lunch! Our server said it wasn't so popular, but it SHOULD BE! Worth the stop, and had we not been following keto, oh the bread, I'm sure, it would've been magical!

    Great little stop in Luling! We were passing by and I just happened to look on Yelp and see they had a lot of great reviews so we stopped in for lunch. Good sandwiches on yummy bread. The muffins and chocolate chip cookies were tasty too! They have a selection of sandwiches and bakery goods and ice cream. Quaint and small-town diner feel. All the employees were very nice and attentive.

    Blueberry muffin

    Greeted from the beginning! Very welcoming and friendly little shop. Happy we stopped for a coffee break bc we also left feeling happy and taken care of! Plus our coffees cookies and muffins all tasted amazing. Thank you for great friendly customer service!!

    Lovely small town cafe

    We love coming here on our trips between Houston and San Antonio of the Hill Country. Their bread is baked fresh and cut thick. Just like in days gone by. The crest is well baked, yet thin and can easiest peel away. Yet you still have this thick soft bread to sink your teeth into. It's so worth it to spend some time here instead of the larger chain stores on the highway. The tomatoes are fresh and today you can tell we're ripened in the vine. Their sweetness reminds me of home garden raise vegetables. The way we were meant to enjoy food. Save room for a cookie or their small batch ice cream. Expect to be greeted with a smile and a friendly hello from everyone. This is a real good charming place to visit

    Open faced chicken salad sandwich!

    Mom's Front Porch amazed me again. Today I asked if they can make an open faced chicken salad sandwiche. And delivered they did! Super fresh !

    Ice cream!!!
    Pablo N.

    All I can say it Yummy Yummy, We were leaving a family gathering and then we started to look for ice cream and we found this gem. Both thumbs up from Matthew and John and Veronica and myself Ice Cream Ice Cream.. we all want Ice Cream

    The homemade blueberry muffins.
    Devin O.

    I found Mom's Front Porch at the recommendation from the skydiving staff a couple miles away. It was a blustery day so we had time to kill while waiting for our skydive. We were greeted by the most lovely staff, including the owner Gretchen. The blueberry muffin was my favorite but the banana crisp was good as well. The coffee is pretty good and goes well with their delicious pastries! Definitely a must-visit-locale if you find yourself in Luling, TX.

    We did a day trip to Luling. Stopped at Mom's Front Porch for ice cream. It was some of the best ice cream w large scoop for 2.75. They will even let you do 2 flavors and split it for the same cost. What a cute place to stop if your hungry. Tanna was so sweet and let us basically try every flavor

    Chicken salad sandwich on homemade fresh bread, homemade cookies made fresh this morning, and handmade lemonade!

    I just moved into some of the offices down the road and with the watermelon thump going on I didn't want to trek very far for food... I noticed this little cozy storefront with people enjoying themselves outside, and decided I'd pop in after hearing about fresh homemade sweets. It was easily the best decision I could have made! Gretchen and the other lovely people behind the counter were warm and welcoming and made me feel right at home at Mom's Front Porch. The chicken salad sandwich is delicious, the chocolate chip cookies are to die for, and the lemonade is PERFECT on such a warm day. They'll definitely be seeing a lot more of me! I can't wait to go back for ice cream and coffee!!

    Passing through Luling on a weekend road trip we got a little hungry and didn't want to hit up fast…read morefood. When we read the name we thought... dang it, we're in. We walked into a time warp! 80s wrestling on tv, 50s and 60s music playing on the speakers, old Coke signs on the wall and a framed 8x10 of Kerry Von Erich w/ Iceman King Parsons at the register. They've got an entire back room that looks like someone's grandmas living room from 40 years ago. As cool and interesting as the ambience was, the food was just as amazing. As you might have guessed, it's a themed fancy hot dog restaurant. The dogs themselves are standard sized and delicious I ordered the "Hi Ho Silver" which is topped with cheese, ranch, jalapeño and bacon. My wife has the "Bandstand" which is a chili weiner. Both were served with home fries and both were $4.99. In addition to the weiners, they have burgers, sandwiches and salads. One kiddo ordered the "Wake Up Little Suzy" burger which includes hash browns and a fried egg ON the burger and the other ordered the "Lucy B" salad and they halved it with each other. The owners are a mother-daughter combo and when talking to them (they were very nice) we learned that the cupcakes and lemon bars were also made in house. We also found out why the place has such a goofy name. Seems there's a cartoon from the early 1900s about a "Gentleman Rabbit" called Uncle Wiggily. A relative suggested that as the name, they changed the spelling a little and... BobsYourUncle... restaurant named. I will say the same is perfect. The place is slightly odd, fantastically eccentric and a little goofy. And the food is priced great (family of 4 in and out for under $30) and is delicious. It's totally worth a trip from out of town to Luling just to eat here... and if you're driving through try and time your hunger right. You won't regret it.

I needed a cold treat to cool me off after my hike. I did a quick Yelp and Google search to confirm I wasn't embarking on a nasty establishment. Both sites checked out with their high star ratings. Only 10 minutes from the state park, I was en route. Upon arriving, there was a long line for the drive-thru. It was already a scorcher outside, I just wasn't looking to be too much more in the heat bath; so I decided to wait in my vehicle in line to order. After 20 minutes of waiting, it was finally my turn. I ordered #54 (the most vegan snow cone with fruit and no cream/caramel); and a mangonada sorbet. After a few minutes, the sweets were out. Heaven on muthafu~~~ earth this place is delicious!! It hit the spot so hard that it placed me into a sweet tooth coma that I wanted to immediately sleep and not drive back to Houston. The amount of syrup saturates the ice. No dry spots. The mango sorbet has bits of mango with its sweetness. Each time I pass through Luling whether that's coming or going; I make sure to stop here! Ive ordered the coconut sorbet without cream or caramel, but with nuts and it's so divine. I tried the mangonada, the best I've ever had. I've brought Sneakers and they gave him a free small cup of ice with cream. He gobbled that right up! I've even brought my parents and they loved it! Daya's is locally owned and family operated; you can't go wrong! Every person who works here has been very kind and always get my orders right. The prices are extremely reasonable for the quantity you get. I will always give them business to keep them open. Give them a try today!!

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!

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.
