We stopped by Flor lunch and got two sandwiches, BLT and chicken salad, and sides of broccoli salad and the potatoes. We also got some grits and a biscuit with gravy. We left with some leftovers, of course! The sandwiches were on Texas toast and were super good, for a very reasonable price! My favorite of the sides were the potatoes, crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I was so tempted by baked goods but it felt like we had enough food already. If I'm back in bastrop I'll have to try some, along with the brunch items. The folks working there were all super friendly and attentive. The inside was nicely renovated but still homey/quaint. We ate outside in the back with our dogs, which was also nice. Plenty of shade, too. You won't regret stopping here if you're in Bastrop! read more

I'm a big sandwich girl and love a good BLT! This one was so good - definitely hit the spot for me with whatever sauce they had on it. My husband's go to is always a burger and he enjoyed his brunch burger (with an egg) as well. My kiddos got the ham and cheese sandwich kids meal and gobbled up theirs too! So overall a success for our family :) The potatoes/tots were included with our meals and they were unique but definitely very salty. The friends we ate with had grits and biscuits and gravy and commented theirs were also pretty salty, but still good! Service was simple - you line up and order and then find seating until your beeper rings. We enjoyed the outdoor seating out back but there's also a decent amount of seating in the interior. read more

We took a day trip to Bastrop to explore, and stopped here. Boy are we glad we did. While we didn't have lunch, we picked up multiple desserts to go, including the Banana's Foster Banana Bread, a fresh peach blondie, and a pecan pie blondie. The owner greeted us as soon as we came in, and explained the menu as well as the selection of soaps, fragrances, and candles. He shared that he was inspired by different aspects of his life in North Carolina prior to coming here to Texas, and we really enjoyed the scents! He was so kind, joked around, and had an awesome Mary Berry t-shirt. The baked goods were next level. I have never had a blondie as good as the ones from here. The peaches for the peach blondie came from local farmers, and were treated with the respect they deserved in a wonderful baked good. The banana bread was like a cross between banana nut bread and rum cake, and 100% delicious. This place is amazing, please go check it out! The vibe was cozy and casual, with ordering at the counter and food delivered to you. read more

I have visited the Bearded Baking Company many times, both here in Bastrop as well as their original food truck location in Austin. The menu is rooted in a Southern down-home theme with lots of hearty ingredients and vibrant flavors. The food is always made with care by Chef Wes. I enjoy the sandwiches here as well as the baked goods. The location in Bastrop is near the center of downtown in a vintage building that provides an awesome backdrop for the dining experience. On a recent Sunday brunch visit, we had the hot honey chicken biscuit sandwich and the "obligatory brunch burger". The chicken thigh is thick and meaty and perfectly cooked, resting atop a fluffy biscuit and slathered with spicy hot honey. The burger consists of two beef patties with bacon, cheese and scrambled eggs making a perfect choice for Sunday brunch. Both sandwiches were accompanied by the delectable fried taters. Brunch concluded pleasantly with a couple of the blondies (one pecan bourbon and the other peach). It's hard to resist the cookies and other goodies available. Food comes out pretty quickly and is always fresh and hot. Bearded Baking is a nice casual venue for breakfast or lunch. Highly recommended. read more

Hubby looked up something new for lunch and stumbled across The Bearded Baking Company. Went in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by our food. I ordered the Lloyd's BLT, probably the best BLT I've ever had. Hubby got the BYO-Burger and praised its deliciousness. Cookies for dessert, none can go wrong. They were sweet enough to give samples of the chicken salad which I should have ordered and the egg salad which hubby said he'd order in the future. 10/10 recommend!!! Get out here Peps! read more

I love the theme! OMG the muffins are soooo good they're perfect like sweet and savory strawberry almond something idk they taste like they came out of heavens oven. The bakery is fully on theme! The proprietors are so nice and it's family owned they are so sweet! They're going to drop off pastries for me at our office! Soon we will be a block away. I will have to try everything! They have brownie bars and blondies and muffins and croissants- I hope they have donuts and cakes and cookies rice crispy treats and cupcakes in the future! Super nice folks, I wonder if they do coffee too? Was a quick stop in but totally adorable spot! I was in such a rush - I should've paid and tipped extra for the added effort to drop off the assorted pastry box. I hope they add a menu item for like 6 assorted box or a 12 assorted box. I feel like they could even expand to offer wholesale to local spots. I want to try their breakfast items. The chocolate almond crossaint was warm and ooey gooey in the middle I've never had a crossaint that was gooey in the middle - they're usually light and airy but honestly I did not mind at all! These pastries are hardy! One of these crossaint can definitely feed two! It was super clean inside too I really appreciate that because baking can be so messy. read more

Had brunch and took some sweet treat to go. Everyone was so kind. Explained things on the menu, gave suggestions on what to order followed by them coming to the table asking how the food was! Such a wonderful brunch! I will be going back next time I'm in the area. I had the Grizzly with a side of gravy and my niece had the French toast. The Food was DELICIOUS! The chocolate chip cookies are amazing! This is a hidden gem! read more

Had a breakfast thing that was a mix of grits and other stuff. It's really good. Didn't try anything else as the breakfast was super filling. Place is a quiet small place. Wish their hot sauce selection was better they only had packet tapico or something equivalent which is terrible. Service is super friendly. read more

If you're in Bastrop, this is the place to stop. My husband and I were driving through and stopped for lunch. Everything on the plate was exceptional. I can't express how much I enjoyed it. The flavors are fresh and original. I don't know anyone who puts red pepper in coleslaw, but they absolutely should. The owner is friendly, the restaurant is clean, staff is responsive and knowledgeable. We took baked goods to go! read more

Amazing food and amazing service. If you want real home cooked food, with a "southern comfort" flare, try The Bearded Baking Company, you won't be disappointed. The Dudley's "Poutine" is a fresh version of the traditional poutine, but is distinguished by the contrasting sweetness of the spicy ketchup with the tanginess of the sausage gravy. The Bubba's BLT has chicken fried bacon and is simple but delicious. The KC (Kelly Clarkson) Cowgirl cookies were a dream come true for the sweet tooth. Get yourself a nice cold glass of milk. This place is a must try if you live in or visit Bastrop, TX. read more

We are SO lucky to have this place in town. Every single thing they make is magically delicious. Their baked goods are buttery and always a wonderful treat. My favorites are the C4 (choc chip) cookies, cinnamon rolls and the seasonal danish. Oh! And we can't forget those brownies. The meals are fantastic! My personal fave is the chicken salad on croissant but their biscuits are the best in town, too. If you're feeling like a burger, their smashburgers are great. They make these crunchy little potatoes that you can get as a side at both lunch and dinner that are so nicely seasoned and satisfying. I'm not exaggerating when I say we typically go here at least once a week. It's THAT good- and we live 20 minutes out of town! Worth the trip. read more

I first wanted to say, the moment I walked in... it's a cute shop. The shop is perfectly decorated with lumberjack decor and amazing ambiance. I really like what they done with it. Service and food definitely deserve a 5 star plus. I was greeted by a very nice gentleman with a goatee who was extremely helpful in helping me choose what to order. As this was my first time here, but definitely not the last. This was probably the best BLT I put into my mouth. It was absolutely delicious. I don't remember the name of the sandwich, I think it's called the Buba, I could be wrong on that... but it was definitely amazing and it filled me up. The home fries with the sweet sauce was definitely prepared to perfection. I would definitely come back here. I also would recommend anyone wanting a grab something to eat and also enjoy sweets, this is the place for you. read more

Came here on a road trip to Smithville. Overall food was pretty tasty. Def try to grits, I'm a huge grits fan being from the south. This place does it justice l, not too much butter or salt but they pack it with pepper for a kick. The biscuits were pretty dry, I would recommend they try to make it more fluffy. Kinda like chick fila does it. Not saying that's the gold standard, but I always enjoy CFA biscuits in the morning. The service is get the food yourself and return the tray with large tables for groups. Ambiance is a low key home town kinda feel. read more

Wow. Closing out a day in ATX and the Hill Country and stopped by Still Austin for one last pickup before dinner. Little did we know we would find dinner here! Biscuits & Gravy Mac and Cheese was incredible. Seasoning was perfect, a beautiful balance of rich melty cheese, toasty bread crumbs, smoky bacon and fresh scallions. The Kodiak Buffalo Chicken Fried Bacon Sandwich is amazing, crispy with just enough spice. Did not even open the extra sauce. No way you are going to eat it as a sandwich, give up in advance and ask for a fork. However, the surprise of the night was the potatoes with the sandwich. Rather than being a throw away side it was absolutely incredible. Delicious blend of spicy and sweet, cooked to perfection with a crisp outer crust and fluffy center. Finished off with a cookie that was incredible with our Still Austin cocktails. Big chocolate chunks in a delectable cookie. Thanks guys for a great dinner! Perfect end to a perfect bill country day. read more

The Bearded Baking Company - a plate of food on a table - Desserts Near Me - Bastrop, Texas

Service and ambience and location were just fine. We found good parking spots and were happy about that since it was in downtown. But the food- no. Breakfast sandwich was not done well. Also threw ripped up chunks of American cheese on top of my grits and it looked absolutely inedible. I asked for a new side of potatoes which I was given and the ketchup, which had some sort of fruit taste/quality to it redeemed my side item- that was pretty decent. But the croissant brkfast sandwich was not my favorite. We did not partake in any extra bakery items so maybe I will visit again and just try that, but I would not choose to eat breakfast there again. read more

Omg. This place is a must visit. Been there for coffee, danish and cookies a couple times. I still talk about it. Breakfast twice and yep the grits are amazing. My breakfast sandwich platter was terrific and plentiful! I couldn't finish it all. Don't pass some of the soap products for sale there. I have bought three scents and they do not disappoint either. Try following them on instagram ... Jeepers my mouth waters every time ads pop up! read more

We stopped in Bassdrop on the way to Austin and found this gem. First tried a cream cheese blueberry rollup - it has an OMG flavor. Next tried the BLT with thick cut bacon, fresh bread lightly fried, and heirloom tomatoes. Again, OMG flavor. This place deserves a detour when passing through Bassdrop. read more

Holy Cannoli Batman! Their new smash burgers are the BEST in Bastrop. All come with 2 patties and they are perfectly seasoned. So juicy you need at least 3 napkins which is the way a burger should be. Don't even get me started on their baked goods. I have a serious 12 step addiction to their chocolate chip cookies. Service is out of this world. So glad they have made Bastrop their home. read more

It was somewhat difficult to find, as we used a Lyft during our short trip to Austin for a film festival -- but it was so worth it! What we didn't realize was that the business was meant to be a takeout experience, though there were some tables indoors and outside. Further, you were expected to order in advance, so that your order would be ready for pickup by the door, with your name largely printed on the bag. Those biscuits...they were the slap-yo-mama kind, as I almost lost myself and caught my own hand from slamming down on the table, thrilled to have found such an incredible flaky biscuit and exceptional BACON. I wanted to love the mushroom gravy because it was flavorful and had an ever so slight spiciness that made it irresistible -- that being said, it was just a bit loose for a gravy. I am looking forward to another trip to Austin for ANY reason to have a breakfast here! read more

Have lived near bastrop for two years without trying this, dumb move on our part!! Made to feel welcomed from the time we walked in until we left. The food was fantastic and fresh and obviously scratch made. I had the cat head biscuit with bacon gravy, wife had the croissant w/ feta basil omelette. DELISH. So worth the 20 minute drive to Bastrop. read more

This is a must! We drove in from Austin to get that small town feel and was quite surprised with "The Bearded Baking Company" located in a beautiful downtown building with lots of charm. Had a wonderful lunch, looking forward to trying other options from their menu. If you get an opportunity a must try is the "fairly gay" and "Bluebonnet" cookies, maybe a brownie, well worth the calories, all three came home with me. Highly recommended and well worth the drive. Plenty of street parking around the block. read more
