I ordered a coconut cold brew. It took me back to Hawaii. Delicious! Ordered the create your own breakfast. Over easy eggs cooked to perfection, crispy bacon and grilled toast. Hubby ordered scrambled eggs, bacon and 1 hot cake. Warning, they are large. He also enjoyed a cappuccino. Cute restaurant with exceptional customer service. Our only complaint is we live a couple thousand miles away, but we will definitely make a point to stop here whenever we are driving through. read more

While in the area, for work, I decided to stop in to Tillie's Cafe for an early lunch and to grab an iced coffee. I found this spot on Yelp and was super pleased with the service, the selection, the strong WiFi, the decor, and the overall vibes here that was super welcoming. Parking was easy off the street and there was plenty of other storefronts to wander & window shop as I made my way to Tillie's. This whole area is great so anywhere you park is going to be close. For my coffee I really enjoyed the iced Golden Ticket coffee I got that included a caramel and a hazelnut flavor with a nice house made cream added to the top. It was so tasty! For food it was hard to choose. Everything from "brekkie", or breakfast, to lunch looked so good as listed on their menu. I ended up with one of their "Handhelds" of the Besto Pesto that included sliced turkey, homemade pesto (nut-free too!), mayo, and some delicious house made pickles. This sando came with a side of house made chips as well and was the portion for my lunch. Since I was driving back to Austin (an hour+ away) I decided to get through all of what was on my plate and not take any leftovers home but I could've!!! I really loved their decor and the long large and beautiful wooden community table they had near the back of the cafe. I saw a whole group of women (more than 6 of them!) gathered around, chatting, and having tea. I assumed they were locals because like them, I would be hanging out here all day with my laptop and/or friends all day if I could. Highly recommend coming in and checking out what you can find to have while here. From coffees, breakfast, lunch, and even refreshing tasty sparkling drinks you will find something you want to have and probably keep coming back for in the future. When I am in the area again, this will definitely be part of my plans in stopping into and eating at again. read more

Tillie's Cafe - Overview shot of the Besto Pesto with house made chips - Cafes Near Me - Schulenburg, Texas

The location is easy to find, and access, with adequate street parking. Katz coffee is served, which we learned to really enjoy after touring their roasting location in Houston. I was disappointed in the Ruben sandwich. Mind you, it was served warm as most are, but after eating Reubens from delis with lots of meat, from the photos you can see that my Reuben from here had a skimpy serving of meat. Additionally, I thought that the menu had it at one price and the register rung it up as $1.00 higher. I found that it is a dollar more for a salad. It comes standard with chips. That's reasonable to me and I thought that the salad was good. My spouse had the burger, and she enjoyed it. She liked that it came with a choice of fries or a healthy salad. I was pleased that a Zero Coke was only $2.00. That's extremely reasonable! read more

Update: The owner contacted me personally, was very apologetic, and is making a sincere effort to fix the situation, so I'm updating my rating from 2 stars to 4 stars. Looking forward to trying Tillie's again next time we pass thru. The cafe is well maintained and the food was decent. We also loved the ambiance - very relaxing. The service was very bad. The servers acted as though serving us was a massive inconvenience from the moment we walked in. Our questions were met with eye rolls and borderline rude answers that made us feel unwelcome. read more

We went exploring in Schulenburg, a cute little town right near Weimar, Texas. They are located by other stores, which we didn't stop by to see cause it started pouring rain when we got there. They do have plenty of parking spaces though. We needed some good coffee, so we stopped by Tille's Cafe. It has a really cute interior, and I ordered an Iced Hot & Dirty, which is a Chai Latte with a shot of espresso. I swapped the milk for oat milk, and I was impressed, it was delicious!! The bathrooms are very clean. The staff was friendly. They serve food as well, though we didn't stay to eat. I did notice others enjoying their meals and reading inside! A cute little coffee shop if you're looking to catch up with friends, do some work, etc.! read more

Cute little lunch spot. We stopped on our way through Schulenburg. Husband had the burger and fries. He said it was a good burger and the fries were really thin and crispy. I had the chicken sandwich and it was really good. All the ladies were very friendly and attentive. read more

I stopped in for a break from a long road trip and was pleasantly surprised after the first cafe in town I tried was closed. They were open their posted hours and the team here were very friendly as well as the regulars hanging out. I got the bacon egg and cheese sandwich and the drip coffee -both of which I really enjoyed. As most places, you can get refills on the drip and I took one cup to go. There's music playing at a decent level so you can work from here as long as you don't have to be on the phone. read more

Came through Schulenberg for a weekend visit and found this place on Yelp. In a town where there are not an overabundance of options, this spot was absolutely perfect. There is a coffeehouse feel to the place with really cool decor. We were able to sit at the big table in the back and the staff was very accommodating with our littles. The food was so good. Our entire group was so happy to try this cafe. I got the banh mi burger and it was perfect. The flavor was amazing (with just the right amount of kick to it). Coffees were great and again, the staff was so friendly and even gave us recommendations on where to go while in town. Overall a perfect experience. read more

Pop into Tillie's Cafe today for lunch. Cute place! Had the turkey wrap. The turkey was warm with a spinach tortilla. Delicious! Second time there. Service was quick! First time we stopped for breakfast. That took a little longer, but Worth the wait! We'll be back on our next trip. read more

Stopped here as we were doing the painted church tour. We split the Besto Pesto sandwich, which was DELICIOUS! Perfectly prepared, toasted & not a crumb left on our plate. We both had an iced coffee drink that went down quick. I'd come back just for the coffee, but stay & try another sandwich . Cute & clean place. Sweet wait staff. Worth stopping for. read more

It's an "order and the counter, then get your own coffee" style of restaurant. The menu is somewhat limited, you might have to ask for utensils. Food was great, coffee was great. read more

I loved everything we ordered; chicken wings were crispy. Ordered Jo fashioned was different but yummy. Strawberry lemon drop was my favorite. Also the loaded fries. The space is open and fun, there's TVs on the wall. The service was quick. read more

We just had lunch there this afternoon. It was delicious, we needed our meal with an iced coffee! They had a great selection of lunch choices, extensive wine list and half a page of coffee options too!! Defiantly will be back! read more

Stopped here on a road trip from Houston to San Antonio. Food and service were wonderful. French fries are crispy just like we like them!!

Employees were friendly. It is a restaurant where you order at the counter then sit down and they bring you your meal. I requested no jalapenos but it came with them on so I had to pick them off, so double check your order. Buns were fresh. I thought they were a tad over priced. Menu is very small. Bathroom was clean. There is not a lot of choices for lunch in this town. I think we would try the other place next time. read more

Found this place to be amazing. Great food, reasonable prices, with a family friendly environment. Just a couple miles off I-10 in historical downtown Schulenberg. We got away from the hustle and bustle for a wonderful family meal. Great rock & roll, too! Thank you, Tillie's! We will be back! read more

Tillie's Cafe - Iced Golden ticket drink and blended confetti drink - Cafes Near Me - Schulenburg, Texas

What an unexpected treat! We stopped by for lunch, based on Yelp reviews. They have moved a couple of doors down to a newer location in a reclaimed older building with a clean, industrial chic feel. I had the Cuban sandwich and garlic fries, and it was all delicious. My wife ate the burger on a gluten free bun, which was way above average for gluten free. Garlic fries were crispy, and there were plenty. Give them a try for lunch and wine. read more

Consistency is key to successfully. The food was just as delicious as it was on our first visit. What a hidden gem in our little community. read more

Tillie's was a delightful surprise! :) I'm from out-of-town visiting a dear friend. I was assigned the task of finding a local lunch spot in a particular radius of errands. I used both Google Maps & Yelp. We didn't know quite what to expect overall. With owners that are interior designers, the ambiance is pleasant and that contributes to enjoyment of the overall experience of dinning there. The staff was gracious and kind. The menu: appetizing. It reflects specialties and is concise. The food: delicious! A direct representation of what is described on the menu. Bon appetite! The cibatta bread is tasty in itself. The sandwich was amazing. Current bar service is personal with a knowledgeable bartender willing to meet a customer's needs. I even bought a bottle of wine (Airfield) to go. Lovely wine, by the way! Eat here! Enjoy, relax and then walk away satisfied. Thanks ladies! read more

Cute place for lunch... we all had something different.... But those shoestring fries-oh my, they are excellent

I travel to Schulenburg at least twice a year for work at the local plant and I always stop in for coffee in the morning (need to open up a little earlier on Saturday). I have been coming to Schulenburg for 14 of the 16 years I've been in my career and Tillies is a welcome addition to the town. Everyone is always very nice and I really enjoy the look of the cafe. read more

First visit. Amazing. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised. Everything is new and clean. Food was well prepared, hot and fresh. Nothing frozen here! And the gluten free toast was delicious. Don't miss this hidden gem (not much outside curb appeal but the inside- beautiful! Customer service and wait staff was over the top. Congratulations on your continued success here in Schulenburg, TX read more

Awesome food and service!! And what a beautiful space! Remodeled building in the downtown part of Schulenburg!

We were in town to pick up some work equipment at lunchtime and it was the only place that had a vegan option that wasn't a boring salad. It's located in a downtown storefront and it's beautiful on the inside, simple and elegant. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I got the vegan veggie wrap with garlic fries, my husband got the chicken bacon ranch sandwich with garlic fries. The food was so delicious and my husband is hard to impress when it comes to food, he kept commenting the entire meal about how good it was. Those skinny garlic fries, let me tell you, I wanted to order a bucket of them to go! So delicious! There is only one thing I am mad about and that's the fact that I live 90 miles away. Dang it. If you're passing by or through Schulenburg, please stop by Tillie's and show them some love, they will definitely make it worth your while. read more
