Uh oh. Look out. Next door to Happy Days Dinner in Mineral Wells is "Dry Creek Farm Barns and…read moreBakery". Oh my. I had to force myself out the door because I'm a sweet-aholic. When you walk in the door you are offered a sample of coffee or tea. Then you immerse yourself in shopping for some of the best looking sweet treats and other great kitchen Knick Knacks. My wife has recently started drinking leaf tea. They had the perfect cup (see picture below). I couldn't resist taking home some lemon bars, chocolate cupcakes with chocolate cream cheese frosting, and snickerdoodle's. Not all of the snickerdoodle's made it home . I cannot begin to describe the snickerdoodle. Most are a glorified sugar cookie with cinnamon. Not these. The cinnamon has a different flavor than most. Not super strong. The cookie itself reminds me of a gingerbread cookie in color only. The texture is akin to a Teacake cookie. And the cookie is not as sweet as most snickerdoodle's. I want more. I can't wait to try the other sweets. All I have to say is it's a good thing I don't live close. Thank you for the hospitality and for making such a delicious cookie. UPDATE: The chicken salad was so good. Loved the crunch of the finely chopped onions and celery. The pimentos added a nice touch. The chicken had some chunks that added to the texture of the salad. Spices were used sparingly. I couldn't single out the taste of an individual spice. To me that's just right. Then I couldn't tell if it was mayonnaise or yogurt used to blend the flavors. Oh and I was told they used egg. Overall it is a fantastic salad, though, my wife wouldn't touch it. Didn't have her grapes and nuts. The cupcake was very good. The cake was like a real chocolate cake. Not as spongy as most cupcakes. Soft and moist. The frosting is a chocolate cream cheese frosting. Not what I was expecting. I was expecting something akin to the icing on an Italian Cream Cheese cake with a more noticeable cream cheese taste flavored with cocoa. Don't get me wrong. It was good .... just wasn't what I was expecting. Kind of like picking up your tea glass only to find it's filled with soda. One more to go. At Dry Creek Farm Barn & Bakery, North Oak Avenue, Mineral Wells, TX

There were multiple flavors and it was hard to decide on one flavor with so many great selections. We went with the dark chocolate and peppermint. It was light, fluffy and very tasty.

Yep, this place is a winner!…read more I've been to Lipan a couple of times, doing something called CityStrides. On those afternoon trips, Marcantonio's Bakery was closed, but I took note. I was determined to do another stride when Marcantonio's Bakery was open. That day was a couple of days ago. The other reviews tell it right. This is not your average small town bakery. At first look, it is a donut shop, but then you realize there is more to it. It is a bakery, and a pie shop. We (three) did our best to sample as much as we could. Everything was great. We had donuts, muffins, and sausage rolls. Everything quite delicious. My wife also made the observation that things were not "super sweet", and this is a good thing. I don't know what the source of their donut fillings, but they taste "fresh." I didn't think to ask the source, but it did not seem to be the chemically tasting fillings so common at other places. The proprietor is super friendly. He gave us a bit of the background on Marcantonio's Bakery, and it's a cool story. I'll just give you a snippet. It's been around since 1998! Want to know more? Come by and talk to Frank! If you have a chance. yo need to check this place out, and a couple other cool places in Lipan! Bottom line: Even when I'm done Striding the city (it's only 22 streets), I'll be coming back to Lipan for tasty treats, cheese (from across the street), and flatbread pizza (another place across the street).
