I was after some gluten free cookies, and I didn't want to drive into Austin to find any. After…read moregoogling local gluten free bakeries, Tough Cookie Bakery in Bastrop came up. They have gluten free options as well as vegan options and options for those who can have gluten. I went there for three out of the six days that I was on vacation in that area. I had originally wanted a chocolate chip cookie, but they didn't do just regular gluten free ones. However they did have gluten free peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but I thought I would try it since I was really craving a cookie. I had just the one, and it was so so so good! It didn't taste overly of peanut butter which was a win for me! It had just the right amount of peanut butter and chocolate chips. It was crispy around the edges and chewy towards the middle. I went back that same day and got two more of those cookies. The other days I went I got the same thing. One day, I did try their gluten free apple butter bar which was just as amazing! Service was fantastic! Each day I went, there was someone I hadn't seen before working. Each of them were super nice and friendly. The bakery itself had a very calm ambiance about it. It had a lot of space inside if you wanted to eat your meal or dessert inside or you could get it to go. I also love how Tough Cookie Bakery supports the LGBTQ+ community. There was a pride flag painted outside of the bakery, and that just made me love the place that much more! I would definitely recommend Tough Cookie Bakery in Bastrop. I can't wait to go back once we're back in the area at the end of this month.

The history and charm of this shop immediately caught our attention and drew us in. The original…read morefurniture pieces add such a warm and nostalgic touch to the overall aesthetic, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. The only letdown was finding out that the ice cream isn't homemade or unique to the shop--it's just Blue Bell. Now, as a lifelong Blue Bell fan, I'll never turn it down, but with a place that has so much originality and character, we were hoping for a menu that reflected that same spirit. Still, it's a cute spot and worth a visit for the atmosphere alone.

I asked about a pie and they said that all pies have to be ordered two days in advance. I'm not really sure why they have a storefront. I gave a second star because they were very nice despite not having any, you know, baked goods for purchase. *** Edited to include business response: Well darn! I wish you had directed me to that case, we probably could've done with some cupcakes. I will try again next time I'm in town.

I have been here twice this week. It is under new ownership, and I met the owner when I went in on…read moreSunday. He was really nice and welcoming, and he really wants to turn this coffee shop around. I had been here before when it was owned by someone else, and the coffee was alright then, but both Sunday and today's coffees were amazing. I ordered a gingerbread latte on Sunday, and today it was a caramel latte, and both were the right amount of sweet without it overpowering the coffee. Under the previous owners, I couldn't really taste the flavor too well, just sweet coffee. I also bought a blueberry muffin both times, and I highly recommend them. I will definitely be going back!

Even more than that, the staff is amazing. Each person was so kind and personable - made our day and felt like "home" (we are visiting from out of town). They even put up with my twin three-year-olds who were unwinding for lack of a nap today, and they made a bit of a mess on the way out. When we went to tidy things up, instead of eye rolls or frustration (which would be understandable) one of the managers gave us some fresh salsa to take home and try. Talk about understanding and kind - these people care, and it showed in each aspect of our visit today. We will be back for sure (but maybe leave the twins with a sitter next time;-). Thanks Coffee Dog!

My family loves their cookies and I am a huge fan of their carrot and Italian cream cakes. I am a carrot cake snob and they make a great one! Their cheesecakes are devine as well. They are willing to try and make practically anything you can think to ask for and we have asked many times. We recently tried their sheep milk cheeses and soaps and have fallen in love with them. Will be buying more soon, the soaps smell wonderful and make your skin silky smooth. Highly recommend!

We had so many guests come up to us raving about how delicious everything was. From start to finish, they were easy to work with. They were super responsive and flexible during the planning process, and even went out of their way to provide samples. Everything was delivered on without any issues; they made sure the cookies were beautifully presented, and incredibly fresh. For the quality and service, their pricing was more than reasonable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are already looking forward to ordering from them again in the future.
