    Baked goods
    Marla C.

    This is a cute bakery in the center of Bastrop. But you need to know that it is almost a 100% vegan, so if you don't like vegan bakeries, this is not the place for you. I got a peanut butter Krispy and it was so good. It was full of peanut butter. It had a chocolate layer on top and krispies mixed throughout the peanut butter. We also got ice coffee's and they had different creams available. I got the pumpkin latte. I couldn't really taste it in my ice coffee. My husband got vanilla and he could taste his a bit more. They offer 2 different sizes of iced coffee, medium or large. Even though I could not really taste the cream, the coffee was still decent. They also have art for sale, as well as a lot of nick knacks and inexpensive jewelry. I saw some as low as $5. It looked like it was pretty good quality too. They also have a seating area and it's pretty large. They just moved locations from an area that was right off of Main Street to this new location. I will definitely stop by again to see what other vegan treats I can get, but I know that my husband will not because he is not does not have a desire to eat vegan food.

    They have moved! Better location on Main Street. Such a great place for them! Plus they now have an ice cream bar!!! Customer service still great, food still amazing!!

    Mushroom spinach quiche with Avocado Mash on pretzel bread

    This place is such a gem! I love going here for a healthy but hearty breakfast, in a cozy little nook downtown. They're mostly known for their vegan and vegetarian options, but as someone who eats meat, I always leave fully satisfied with the alternatives. Their vegan biscuits and gravy is to die for, and they always have a fresh daily quiche served with a delicious avocado toast. I recommend getting your toast on the pretzel bread, so yummy. The coffee is outstanding (I love their cold brew) and of course, they have a huge variety of freshly baked vegan and gluten free baked goods! Not only is there something for everyone, but the service is always so friendly, it feels like I'm visiting a close friends house for brunch. Thank y'all so much for giving me delicious comfort food with such a welcoming atmosphere.

    May BLT

    The deserts here are delicious! Hands down: I'm a sucker for soft and chewy cookies and these are just that and also moist. I also have a super horrible gluten allergy, so I'm glad they offer things on the meal I can order. I'm vegan, so I ordered the May BLT. The May BLT is a good sandwich (mine has added GF bread). I'm not a huge fan of mayo, so I substitute it with mustard. I like what the tofu is marinated in...it gives it a good flavor. For the price, I wish there was a little more tofu in the sandwich to make it higher protein. That would make it perfect for me, but I'm grateful for the fact that there's at least one place in Bastrop to find something decent to eat for vegans!

    Cozy little coffee shop and bakery tucked into the historic district of Bastrop. Lots of seating inside, a bit out on their patio - but take it to-go and walk down to the river! A 2-minute walk from this spot. If you follow my reviews, you know I'm on a tea kick and not coffee right now. They use HEB organics for their hot tea selection. A lot of various pastries to choose from - cookies, cinnamon rolls, cupcakes, etc. The ginger molasses cookie was awesome! Room for improvement on their chocolate chip cookie though. They also have sandwiches and other food but I didn't try that. The people working there are so kind and welcoming. Definitely a spot to check out! I'll be back for those cinnamon rolls!

    This place made my heart so happy! I was in town for 4 days and visited every single day for my daily Cold Brew. Being a Vegan visiting a small town in Texas, I was worried I wouldn't be able to find something to eat. I was beyond ecstatic when I saw this adorable Vegetarian/Vegan eatery pop up in my search. Not only do they have a full breakfast and lunch menu with plenty of vegan options, they also have pastries that are all vegan! I tried their biscuits and gravy and their blueberry lemon muffin and they were both delicious! The Cold Brews I got were perfectly yummy! This place also sells some local crafts and witchy trinkets and other tchotchkes. Staff was incredibly friendly and I appreciate their inclusivity decor! Would definitely recommend and visit again!

    Flavorless tofu, only three pieces on dry bread

    The ambiance is funky coffee house chic which I enjoyed. The counter people were also very friendly. The cold brew was decent although I prefer a more darker roast but appreciated they had several types of milks to offer for it for the non dairy crowd. However I was extremely disappointed in a few things. They advertised "brioche" bread. It was not. The bread was plain white bread and very dry. I ordered their vegan blt. It came with three pieces of sad flavorless tofu. I took one bite and couldn't finish it. I managed to eat the filling because I was so hungry. Please work on your recipe for this and consider adding more filling for the value. It's a miss for me. The cup of soup was tasty but overpriced at $6.95 and so was that sandwich at $12.95. The food took forever.

    Vegan spread!

    This place is simply phenomenal! I visited several times while staying nearby and found this to be an oasis for clean and delicious food, including vegan cuisine (rare in this area). Everything is excellent and the team members are kind souls. This place is a must go (and go and go..).

    Dry and no taste. Despite lacking all the "good things" it's still doesn't compare to others I have had.

    I've supported this local coffee shop for a long time, back when it was owned by Christiana and run…read moreby truly fabulous employees like Nikki, Justice, and Mariah. During that time, Coffee Dog was reliable, welcoming, and worth recommending. Unfortunately, under new ownership, that is no longer the case. This morning was the final straw. I placed my order and waited over 30 minutes, only to receive absolutely nothing. After my order was taken, I reasonably assumed it was being prepared. Instead, a different employee later came to the window and asked what I had ordered as if no record or communication existed at all. At that point, I asked for a refund. What followed was a frustrating and unnecessary ordeal. The so-called manager came to the window and began explaining how long a sandwich takes to make despite the fact that I did not order a sandwich. The manager clearly did not understand the situation, continued wasting my time, and failed to listen after I had already made it clear that I just wanted a refund since my order was never made. Even processing the refund became a struggle. This is not an isolated incident. On several prior visits, they've been under-supplied, out of basic items, or dealing with non-functioning machines issues that are frankly unacceptable for a business that calls itself a coffee shop. The lack of organization and accountability is astounding. One of our clients regularly purchased gift cards from Coffee Dog for us, but after this experience, I will be telling him not to return. Mr. Hodges, save your money this place is no longer worth it. It's incredibly sad to see how far this business has fallen. I supported Coffee Dog for the longest time, but I am officially done. I will not be returning, and I will not be recommending this place to anyone. Future customers should be aware: this business is not the same under new ownership.

    I did not know about The Coffee Dog, now I do. Nice coffee stop in Bastrop. Once you enter the…read moredoor you can witness the roasting of the coffee bean. This is important and very good to see. I did get a pasterie and it was good. I will come again.

One cashier can get overwhelmed by having to cash out and come back to identify the food. Caldo de Res is good, yet the carnitas were a bit undercooked. Bistec is dry and underseasoned. Fair place to explore, yet for authentic breakfast tacos-try another. At least the grocery side offers variety to explore.

    Best Mexican Super in the entire city of Bastrop!…read more But did you know they have great breakfast tacos? And they're generous with the portions. Look at the amount of bacon I discovered when I got home, took my taco out of the foil and plated it :-) I order my tacos there without cheese, because the cheese they use tastes too much like Velvita to me. But they otherwise do a great job. I love their migas and they always have several fresh salsas to choose from. They also have Pupusas with Curtido! If you don't know what that is, you're missing out! It's the best and most iconic of all El Salvadoran dishes, and it's got a flavor profile that should be loved by anyone who likes Mexican food. Of course, it's not just a restaurant. It's a grocery store. They have meat and fresh produce and narrow but well-stocked aisles. The prices are good. The staff is friendly, and they speak English as well as Spanish. And being there is a bit like stepping into Old Mexico. So swing in by. They're over by Chapala.
