Very polite and made some recommendations. Brought us water as we needed it without asking. He topped our dishes with fresh Parmesan cheese. Cream of Mushroom Soup Very rich flavor. Lasagna Bolognese Full of flavor, many layers. Pasta was cooked perfectly, hate it when lasagna noodles overcooked. Chicken Parmesan I tasted it, very good. Came with spaghetti aglio e olio, I could taste the garlic. Eggplant Parmesan Just heaven, came with side of spaghetti aglio e olio. Chef/owner came out to greet us he has pride in his dishes. All pasta made from scratch. What a find. Will return next time in Texas.

I also got the Blue Angel Smoothie which was packed with so many vitamins and all the good stuff you'd need for a good days work. This place is such a cute little mom and pop shop!

Annetta and Daniel are the owners who are almost always at the store, and everyone who works here is very nice. They really care about fresh, nutritious, and delicious food and it shows. Sometimes they'll make a little more smoothie than fits in your cup and give you the extra in a little cup they call a "share size" (whether or not you actually share it with anyone is up to you lol) My partner ALWAYS gets the funky monkey and loves it. I tend to explore the menu more and I've found my favorite is the dreamy dragon bowl but I haven't had a smoothie I didn't like. Mango bango is a great fruity choice. Can't go wrong with the wraps and hot food either!

They come in regular, XL, and XXL sizes, the regular & XL are wrapped in corn husks, whereas the XXL are wrapped in banana leaves, which I love as a Puerto Rican because the flavor it adds is incredible, almost smoky. I usually grab mine at the Pearl Farmers Market, but you can also order them online; trust me, they're worth it!

The bakery and cheese sections are equally impressive. I mean honestly, so is the meat section and the fish section and the bulk section and the coffee and the floral.... You get the point. You can certainly get lost in browsing and thought in these stores. I like to pop in to the bakery for the fruit tart. It's so beautiful that I like to pick one up to take as a hostess gift whenever I'm invited to a gathering nearby. It impresses and is delicious. If you don't want to pick up food as a gift, check out the deliciously scented candles. You can't walk away empty handed. Also, don't snooze on the gelato station. They offer yummy flavors.

What makes it stand out from the other HEB stores is the prepared foods and a couple of food booths that you can find in the store. I usually visit H-E-B Central marketplace, to purchase some of my Christmas sides and entrées. They also have the delicious pies at H-E-B sells but with some twists. For example, one of their fruit pies is in four different fruit selections. Service, of course, is up to Heb standards so spectacular and this one has the Christmas feel for me. The prices are a bit higher than another HEB, but the selection is different, as well. This makes it ideal for trying to find items that might not be sold in other HEBs.

Had a great experience for one of their 100 bottle wine tasting events. Had never been before but…read morewas blown away by the event. Went with my father in law and we went through the tables til we couldn't anymore. Suggest getting a DD or taking an uber/lyft, do not drive. There was a ton of people on the deck, my guess over 100 people. Everyone was bright and cheerful for obvious reasons. They hook it up with sales the more wine bottles you buy. They had everything from California, down to chile, up to Washington, across to Spain & France, back to Chile. The format is pretty simple, they give you a paper and pen with all the options. If they do it again, def check it out. It's a unique experience. Make sure whoever is going in your group to sign up because they weren't doing any one-off pours for people not participating in the event.

Another thing I really like is that the owner makes an effort to support other Hill Country businesses. Many of the items sold here are the creation of other local entrepreneurs.
