I visited BiG Cafe for my first time with a friend for brunch couple weeks ago and I absolutely loved this place! Their mission is to provide employment for adults with special needs and their profits support a vocational program to empower local citizens. When you first enter the building, you see a shop with lots of beautifully crafted and interesting products. Lots to shop here, although prices are high which then again, part of the proceeds go into a good cause and the products are well made. The cafe is located at the back of the shop. We spent a little time browsing the shop before going to the cafe. The cafe itself is so welcoming and spacious! Not a great ton of seating available but there's outdoor seating area with turf, which I can see is a huge plus when cooler weather arrives. I love the signs on the wall, very motivating sayings and quotes. For food, I had the avocado toast with bacon and fried egg and an espresso. It was delicious! Price point was good and food came out hot and fresh. I noticed when we were there, the lady at the counter (presumably the manager) was addressing the patrons by name, which was such a nice touch to see. It feels like this place really cares for their customers and is an established place in the local community. Parking is free and ample spaces available when we went there on a Friday morning. I like this place so much I ended up bringing my family there the following week. Support a good cause and eat a nutritious meal at the same time. Go visit! read more

Love, Love, Love this place! The volunteers are always smiling, greeting you when you walk through the door. Do a little shopping in the store on the way in, then enter into the small and cozy restaurant section, pick up a menu and be amazed with the varied selections. The food is great, and the atmosphere is infectious! The best part is when you discover the amazing people behind the scenes, (and on the tabletops!) the reason for this amazing campus is a part of all that is right in the world. Discover the best out-in-the-open secret in Georgetown. The kids would love you for it. read more

The BiG Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Georgetown, Texas

I absolutely loved having lunch at the BIG Café. The room is bright, the seating comfortable, and service great and unrushed. Everyone is super friendly. When you go in, find a seat and grab a menu, then order at the register. Your food will be delivered to your table. A friend and I recently had a long weekday lunch, with both of us having sandwiches. Sandwiches came with a choice of sides. I had a chicken salad sandwich, which was served on a croissant, and a cup of broccoli cheese soup. The chicken salad was wonderful, but the croissant was dry. The soup was very good. My friend had a grilled cheese sandwich and a salad. Her sandwich was loaded with cheese. The baked goods at the counter looked scrumptious, but we did not partake. I would definitely return for the food, but also because the profits go to a good cause. read more

I was beyond thrilled to visit this remarkable place--it truly exceeded my expectations. This café and gift shop is a nonprofit vocational community dedicated to supporting adults with special needs. They craft an array of beautiful items, including pottery, specialty soaps, cards, jewelry, dog treats, cookies, fudge, granola, and pies. The interior of the café and gift shop was stunning, and I hardly knew where to begin describing its charm. **Café:** The setup is straightforward; you place your order at the register. I enjoyed a croissant sandwich filled with egg, bacon, and cheese, complemented by a cup of fresh fruit. My daughter opted for two breakfast tacos paired with a fruit cup. Their menu also features specialty coffee and drinks. The café ambiance is delightful, accompanied by great music. Outdoor seating is available on the patio for those who want to savor the weather. Alternatively, if you prefer a quieter atmosphere, you can grab your food to-go and head over to the Sunflower Room across the parking lot. This area offers additional seating both indoors and outdoors. The customer service was exceptional--friendly and welcoming. **Gift Shop:** I fell in love with it! There's a vast selection to explore, from faith-based items and gorgeous jewelry to clothing and children's goods. However, the handmade creations by the BIG citizens stole the show for me. Words can hardly do justice to how incredible these handcrafted items are. Each piece comes with a card introducing the artist behind it, making the experience even more meaningful. While the shop boasts other wonderful products, my focus was mainly on the BIG handmade creations. I couldn't resist buying a few treasures, including earrings ($15 each), trinket holders ($10 each), bracelets ($15 each), and a beautifully handcrafted card ($6 each). These items are not just stunning; they carry the unique stories of their creators and offer a sense of fulfillment knowing my purchases support them. After checking out, I discovered that the Sunroom features a gallery showcasing even more BIG artists' creations. I wandered over there and was blown away by the breathtaking pottery and other handmade items. If only I had a bigger budget--I wanted to take it all home! This will undoubtedly be my go-to destination for unique and meaningful gifts. I'm already looking forward to returning for both the café and the gift shop! read more

Apple pie was delicious. Gift store was loaded with high quality Christmas Gift items. Great cause benefits.

One of Georgetown's Hidden Gems! The Big Cafe is more than just a great place to eat--it's a place with heart. I love supporting this restaurant because they're part of a socially responsible community that actively supports Brookwood in Georgetown (BiG), which makes every visit feel meaningful. The food is consistently terrific--fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Whether you're there for breakfast, lunch, or just coffee and dessert, you'll leave satisfied. And don't miss the little gift shops! They're beautifully curated and full of unique items perfect for special occasions. I always find something thoughtful and original. read more

First time eating at the restaurant. Food was delicious and quantity was just right with a club sandwich, broccoli cheese soup and garden salad. Service was very good. Brought home a chicken pot pie and apple pie - delicious! The adjacent store has beautiful items, some of which are made by the workers. I purchased a bracelet which was made by Debbie. She was in the store and helped me select it. Great lunch visit. read more

What a beautiful concept. Great space, good labor, and a sweet atmosphere. I saw this place and wanted to visit months ago. Just today, I had the chance. I had breakfast, the parfait with the Big biscuit with jam and an Americano. I bought a pair of eco-friendly shades, and visited the "what looks like" a green house, but it's just the extension of the shopping area where I bought my dear friend a gift. They have opportunities to volunteer and spread the world. It's important to support local businesses but also get involved in the community and give your time for something that brings love and kindness to others. I'm glad I know about this place. Thank you for opening businesses like this! read more

I had a chef salad that was perfect! Mixed green, cucumbers, avocado, ham, cheese, yellow and dark red tiny tomatoes. With a jalapeño ranch dressing. It was huge, had enough for two meals. And for dessert, I love dessert, coconut pie, not a pudding kind of pie. The pie was stuffed full of coconut, just enough filler to hold it together, and the crust was okay. I will be going back , and soon I hope! read more

I can't believe I waited 3 years to eat here! What a fun and fabulous place! Amazing food, sweet service, and they have a gift shop to boot! The dining area consists of both indoor & outdoor areas, and there is shade. I ordered the turkey cranberry sandwich with the tomato soup and it was delicious!! The plating is very appetizing! If you are looking for a nice lunch give Big Kitchen a try! You won't be sorry! read more

I literally love this place and can't believe I didn't know about it sooner. From the moment we walked in, everything felt special. Amazing food, great coffee, and such a fun little store! I definitely bought too much and had zero regrets. Lunch was unforgettable. The jacked-up club sandwich with deli-carved meat was incredible and huge, easily enough for two people to share. The honey latte was such a treat, perfectly balanced and comforting. What truly made the experience stand out was the people and the purpose. The wonderful woman who took my order was learning the POS system and is a participant in their training program. She was kind, capable, and welcoming, and it was clear she was being supported, not rushed. It felt good to be part of that moment. We also popped next door to Sunflower Hill and purchased the most beautiful handmade items: a wind chime, a soap dish, and a candle. Each piece came with the story of the person who crafted it, which made them feel like true treasures, not just purchases. This company is doing something really special: making a genuine difference in people's lives while offering an outstanding product and experience. It was an unforgettable lunch, filled with heart, intention, and joy....and we will absolutely be back. read more

Great food, excellent service, and atmosphere is bright and welcoming. Love the salads, small dining area, a unique experience.

I had an excellent experience at this restaurant today. I started by walking through the beautiful boutique, I can hardly wait to come back and spend some money here. They have beautiful Christmas items right now. We waited in a short line to be seated, the restaurant was busy. One of the ladies working took the time to find us a table while we were waiting in line, that was very kind because we did not ask her to do that. At this restaurant, one orders upfront and then sits down and waits for their food. They have a wonderful seasonal menu right now. I enjoyed a black bean, quinoa, sweet potato salad with a honey dressing and gluten-free bread on the side. I complemented this with some loose leaf, black tea, which was perfect. My husband had breakfast tacos, which were quite large and on flour tortillas; he enjoyed them very much. He topped them off with a Dr Pepper. I can't say enough nice things about this restaurant, you just gotta come here.! Every time I visit this restaurant , it's absolutely splendid! read more

Salutations from The BiG Cafe! This lovely shop is located in the heart of sweet ole Georgetown, Texas. Their mission is to empower adults with special needs and build a community with a sense of belonging. This is an amazing mission as my kindergarten art teacher says, "treat others the way you want to be treated". There's a little boutique and cafe in one building. The cafe is super cute! Santa is comin early this year or somethin because they have their holiday decor out. As your server walks up and greet you, they will sing a lovely Christmas carol! Oh Christmas tree oh Christmas tree how lovely are your branches. As you order you must say in either a Santa clause or a elf voice. "I'll take the soup and salad ho ho ho". Soup was warm and delicious. Salad was yummy and nutritious. All ingredients are straight imported from the North Pole on Santa's sleigh! Now word on the street the cheese is made from reindeer milk mmm scrumptious. Will you be on the naughty or nice list? All walks of life are welcome! Signing off for now "Jingle bells jingle all the way". read more

Delicious food. Beautiful dining room. And you're supporting a good cause: empowering adults with disabilities. This is more than a meal. I dined alone amid a bustling but pleasant atmosphere. Classy rustic decor with cloth napkins and real tableware. Fast casual ordering, and then everything is delivered to your table (and cleared!). My latte was perfect, and my omelet had a delicious balance of veggies, bacon and cheese (every piece of onion was chopped the same size!). Fruit bowl was a great mix of berries, melon and pineapple (every bite of it chopped on site, I bet). One hundred percent of my tip went to support BIG's programming, an awesome example of a nonprofit that makes the world a better place. read more

Big Cafe This tiny but clean place is unique in terms that its an NGO kind cafe which is run by volunteering retired or special needs people , and all the proceeds also go to them. Very very impressed with this self sustaining concept One can understand that the menu options are not that many, but the food is simple but really fresh. There is also an attached gift shop, which is pricey as expected of such a shop where the proceeds are going for a society's cause, quite a good collection though. Must visit again. read more

Wow just wow! This place is absolutely gorgeous! Upon entering The BiG Cafe, I was so pleasantly surprised by the array of beautiful flowers, handmade jewelry , flowers, and holiday decor. The shop is so lovely from the creative lighting to so many details that you'd have to go in a few times to really soak it all in! My friend suggested we go here and lunch and I am truly thankful that she did. Such a wonderful experience! She had the Cobb salad and I ordered the chicken salad sandwich on a croissant with a small bowl of tomato basil soup. So yummy! My friend is gluten intolerant and she had a slice of their chocolate cake which was so moist and delicious! Frances that took our order came by the table and shared about their mission and I was in tears! Such a warm and kind woman, making a difference in peoples lives for the better! I would highly recommend this precious establishment! read more
