We have lived in Livingston a year and finally got around to having dinner at Katie's! The food…read moreexceeded our expectations and so did the service. We started with an old fashioned, ginger beer, truffle parmesan fries and brisket bombs. The drinks and appetizer were outstanding! Everyone needs to try their brisket bombs!! They melt in your mouth. Very generous portion of truffle Parmesan fries that we took home and enjoyed the next day! My husband's steak was well marbled and cooked to perfection. He was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the steak. Super tender and well seasoned! Salmon was fresh with a yummy sauce. For dessert we had creme brûlée. It was some of the best and we order it everywhere we go. You can't go wrong with Katie's! Highly recommend.

Rating purely based on the cookies brought home to me. These cookies were surprisingly…read morescrumptious! They are dense and chewy cookies (my favorite type!) and also thick. :D Biscoff cookie (4.5/5)-- this one made me a fan! The cookie was sweet with pockets of Biscoff spread inside. Great for any Biscoff lover! The quality control isn't the best though, as the second time I had the cookie, it was dry and crumbly. If the cookie is usually dry like that, it would be more of a 3/5. I would risk another try though! Cookies and cream (4/5)-- this one was a good cookie too, capturing all the essence of an Oreo flavor. It didn't stand out in uniqueness but it was yummy :) this one was a little harder and crumblier than the Biscoff cookie, but now I wonder if it was just old or dried out... Pistachio brittle/toffee cookie (3/5)-- wasn't a fan of this one, as the taste was a bit off (either a little bitter or maybe artificial tasting?) and the brittle chunks were super hard, super sweet , and super sticky (like butterfinger filling but less melty!). The chunks were tasty (and veryyy sweet), but I had to pick them out and eat the separately since it didn't pair well with the cookie texture for me. MT says the service has always been nice, and they seemed really happy when he bought whole load of cookies, hehe~ Katie's Cafe is one of the go-to spots for his lunches out there!

I popped into the quaintest little shop. It reminded me of an old-fashioned candy store. Marsha was a pleasure to talk to. She helped me out quickly and was a pleasure to talk to. I came away with 4 delectable cup cakes. I snagged a carrot cake, a strawberry, a red velvet, and finished off with the chocolate chocolate I had a picture of. To be honest, the other three didn't even make it home! I highly recommend this little shop! Foods great, service is great, and the store just can't be beat!

I love discount baked goods…read more I can safely report that this place has friendly staff. I asked millions of questions and they cheerfully engaged me. I can't honestly say if they keep really old goods because thanks to this Corona virus scare, people have been clearing out the store. You have several breads, sweets, jams and honey at discounted rates. The closer to the expiration date, obviously the more drastic the discount. Places like these are really useful when you have family gatherings and wants tons of bread for sandwiches. Given that this place is located in rural Texas, this place is helpful when needing to feed your varmints. Stop by and give this place a try.

Kind of bland. My favorite is red velvet cupcakes and these just don't do it for me. I have also tried the key lime pie. It was good other than the fact that they put too much lime zest in it. The people there are also very nice and they do have great service. The one thing that counts the most is what I'm paying for and that is the food. It's just not something I crave.

I don't often post about places when I'm out of town but I had to make an exception here. This place is incredible. Low key flex, I have had pastries in soooo many different places. This place goes toe to toe with all of them. SoCal, NorCal, PNW, Italy, whatever. All places I've had baked goods and all of those places this spot is competing with. You probably can't go wrong with what you pick but the scone options, cinnamon rolls, cake balls, bon Bons, edible cookie dough, cookies, truffles, cakes, and idk is there something I'm missing? It all looked incredible. I tried a cake ball, a bon bon, a truffle, and a cookie. All strictly elite. Farmhouse bakery I love you and I hate you. I love you because yum yum so good. I hate you because it will be forever until I can come back. Someone else go see her and tell her I love her please. (4.9 Stars)
