What a wonderful lunch in the very quaint town of Granger where my mom graduated from back in 1961…read more She and I truly enjoyed the delicious sandwiches and tea, mine being blackberry yum. The service was friendly and even mom reconnected with some "old" classmates that were enjoying lunch too. Afterwards, we stepped into the shop and browsed the vintage shopping.

Too many coffees places are serving only lattes catering the masses. Haciendo can likely do that…read morewell, but I prefer sipping espresso and pour over. Their espresso is drinkable without milk and their pour over ethiopian really brought the berry flavors. I often look to Austin for a unique cup of coffee, but this place should be a go to for any coffee snobs in Williamson County. Only feedback I would have is to elevate the drink ware and reduce paper.

This is probably my favorite coffee shop in Taylor. It's small, but beautiful. It is well-lit from…read morethe natural light with plenty of windows. The drinks are always top tier, especially their specialty Armadillo Latte and Armadillo Milk based drinks that they offer. Their staff is also very friendly and conversational. I had a work conference in Taylor last month and it was walking distance to Haciendo. I ended up going twice in one day, that's how much I enjoyed it. I've come here quite a few times. My favorite was on an extremely rainy day last year where I got to gaze out their windows and enjoy the atmosphere inside. This is the crown jewel of coffee in Taylor and is probably the best coffee shop in a 10 mile radius from my apartment. I'll be back! RIYL: Quaint places and quiet coffee shops

I'm always a sucker for a cool spot with a cool atmosphere, and Curbside is exactly that in Taylor…read more It has a garage door entrance, giving it a lot of that indoor-outdoor feel. There's quite a bit of seating inside their main space, but also additional seating in the lobby of the attached building. I came with a large group after a morning run, and we made the one barista working put in work. He knocked all of our orders out though! I honestly really appreciate him being patient with all of us full of energy after our morning workout. I ordered a hot latte with their Miso Maple syrup and oat milk. It was fantastic and really well balanced. Their house-made miso maple syrup added a sweet and savory flavor profile to the well-crafted drink. Not only do they serve coffee, but they also offer fantastic pastries from Baked n' Sconed from Hutto and breakfast bites from Kerlaches, which I indulged in, their Sausage and Jalapeño Cheddar kolache, which smacked like nothing else. A huge link of sausage, which was much needed after the 4 miles I ran. Taylor is no stranger to good coffee shops, and this immediately became one of the best ones in town. A great atmosphere with great coffee. What more can I say? Top billin'. RIYL: A hip and mellow coffee shop in an artful and small town.

Finally, after all the years Curbside has been in Taylor, I gave it a try and it was great way to…read morestart a weekend. Met up with a friend who really likes Curbside and she convinced me to try. It's not that hard cause I love coffee and tea so being pumpkin time I tried their seasonal special, pumpkin pie latte. So good. They do have food items too but this visit was coffee. They have a nice setup with great open-air seating. Staff was very inviting and friendly. Will definitely be back again for a different coffee selection and try some food.

I visited The Market Kitchen in Granger, TX, on a slow Wednesday morning. This is a small spot and…read moreright off the main roadway, very quaint decor inside with several tables for seating and while the food was excellent, the service left a lot to be desired. I ordered a coffee with caramel while working on my laptop for about 40 minutes and then ordered jalapeño ranch bacon burger with chips and a soda, to go with it around 10:40am. The burger was delicious--perfectly cooked with great flavor the addition of crispy jalapeños was nice--and the coffee was spot on. However, I also ordered six sticky buns when I ordered my burger that were promised to be ready by 11:30 a.m. but I ended up waiting until after 12:45p.m. without any communication. No one stopped by to update me on the delay, which left me feeling pretty frustrated. It's hard to understand how you can let someone sit for that long without providing any status updates and I wasn't alone. The only information we heard was when they would talk to someone at the drive-through about how the kitchen is behind. Despite the service issues, the sticky buns, once they arrived, were fantastic, probably best I've ever had. If you're not in a rush and are mainly focused on good food, this spot could work for you. Just be prepared for a lack of communication if delays happen. The score reflects service and communication more than food. Food was 4 stars. Sticky buns, 5! I will go back on another day and give it another shot to see if this was a fluke and reevaluate my score.

I tried an iced Brewchata that had a light touch of cinnamon. I also got one of their Lemon Blueberry Muffins that held me through all 6 hours of my drive. The barista working was very friendly, talkative, and helpful, making sure I ordered what I wanted. Because of her friendliness, I'll probably make this stop more often.

If possible, the ambience was even nicer than the taste of the coffee & pastries. Felt like a cedar lodge at Big Bear. Can't wait to stop in Burnet again for this. PS: I am DoD; they show appreciation for SVMs and first responders--very thoughtful.

Cute homey coffee shop…read more Matcha Latte not on the menu, but asked anyway if they had one. Was told that they do! Asked my 20 questions about the Matcha Latte: is it just matcha powder, nothing else, not from a mix? I was assured it was "just" matcha, so I ordered. As we were finishing, I mentioned "unsweetened please". She said "oh, we can't do that: the matcha comes pre-sweetened". Um, then that's not "just matcha", it's a powdered mix that you take a scoop from and mix with water. Big difference. That's the equivalent of telling someone that instant coffee is just like regular coffee. She said she could make me a Chai unsweetened, the 20 questions about that ensued to make sure it didn't have milk solids in it. By this time I'd clearly annoyed her with my questions, so I got a Chai, lol. Who knows the make up of that. I'll come back with my husband to get him a coffee, but will continue my quest for a Matcha Latte elsewhere in Burnet.

Lo and behold we were recommended this gem around the corner from our stay. I had the cinnamon roll latte and my bride had a smores-flavored latte. Thoroughly enjoyed them. I believe their beans are roasted in house with the roaster inside. What we absolutely loved. We went back the next morning on our way out of Burton and the lady who worked there found out we were there to celebrate our son's birthday. She remembered that he had a sister and gave us two cake balls for them. Unprompted, just really nice of her. This little gem of a coffee house is an absolutely must-try if you are in the area.
