Parking on the left side of the house/cafe, walking up the handicap-accessible ramp...the porch itself is a wonder to behold with at least three swings and a few small tables. Current food and drink offerings are posted on an old door propped against a corner by the entry. I was overwhelmed with the flavor combinations, delighted by the branding of the shop, and knew I'd be making a big purchase--not being local and rarely traveling through Hico, TX we had to sample what is on offer from savory to sweet! Hico, TX has a real treasure right here ya'll! Honey lavender latte (seasonal), ham and gruyere muffin, and molasses cookies won the day for me! My partner agreed that of the three items I purchased for him, if only permitted to order one item again, it would be the molasses cookie! Similar to my aunt and grandma's chewy molasses cookie recipe, I was instantly transported to nostalgialand - grandma's kitchen or a ramshackle old cottage we used to reunion at--surrounded by relatives. Every bite filling me with goodness, warmth, and love! This is a spot I would frequent were I local to Hico--proudly sharing this beauty and its offerings with guests and purchasing goodies for office/special gatherings. If you're traveling down the road like we were, looking for a nice local coffee and something warm and delicious to eat, look no further. This is a MUST STOP.

My wife and I were on our way home from Glen Rose, TX and decided to stop by for some breakfast…read moreto-go. The name on Yelp of this restaurant needs to be changed to "2nd Street Social." It's right next door to where the address on the Yelp Page will take you, but it is formerly the "Bakeshop." The staff mentioned to us the former building/house was being renovated to become an AirBnB or something. We were looking forward to patio seating given we had our pup with us, but the restaurant didn't have any, so we opted for drive-thru. The restaurant itself has a small parking lot. The woman who took our order was very kind and informative, as mentioned previously. I ordered an "Iced Latte with White Chocolate" and ordered the "Breakfast Burrito," which contained sausage, scrambled eggs, and cheese. The latte was good, creamy and sweet with the WC flavoring. The burrito was also good, not amazing, but good! I should have ordered 2 of them, it wasn't too big, so keep that in mind. The cheese was melted inside and the sausage was super flavorful. There was a section of my burrito in which the sausage was actually cold, which took me by surprise, but other than that it was good. Pricing was decent for what we ordered. We would come back if we were driving through again!!

They had kolaches, both the pastry type and the sausage type, plus breakfast burritos and other meaty items. The maple bacon donut, it was really good. The apple fritter was smallish, but very good. The lady inside were super nice. It was busy with limited space inside. It's a small store, not a lot of room, but very friendly.

Uh oh. Look out. Next door to Happy Days Dinner in Mineral Wells is "Dry Creek Farm Barns and…read moreBakery". Oh my. I had to force myself out the door because I'm a sweet-aholic. When you walk in the door you are offered a sample of coffee or tea. Then you immerse yourself in shopping for some of the best looking sweet treats and other great kitchen Knick Knacks. My wife has recently started drinking leaf tea. They had the perfect cup (see picture below). I couldn't resist taking home some lemon bars, chocolate cupcakes with chocolate cream cheese frosting, and snickerdoodle's. Not all of the snickerdoodle's made it home . I cannot begin to describe the snickerdoodle. Most are a glorified sugar cookie with cinnamon. Not these. The cinnamon has a different flavor than most. Not super strong. The cookie itself reminds me of a gingerbread cookie in color only. The texture is akin to a Teacake cookie. And the cookie is not as sweet as most snickerdoodle's. I want more. I can't wait to try the other sweets. All I have to say is it's a good thing I don't live close. Thank you for the hospitality and for making such a delicious cookie. UPDATE: The chicken salad was so good. Loved the crunch of the finely chopped onions and celery. The pimentos added a nice touch. The chicken had some chunks that added to the texture of the salad. Spices were used sparingly. I couldn't single out the taste of an individual spice. To me that's just right. Then I couldn't tell if it was mayonnaise or yogurt used to blend the flavors. Oh and I was told they used egg. Overall it is a fantastic salad, though, my wife wouldn't touch it. Didn't have her grapes and nuts. The cupcake was very good. The cake was like a real chocolate cake. Not as spongy as most cupcakes. Soft and moist. The frosting is a chocolate cream cheese frosting. Not what I was expecting. I was expecting something akin to the icing on an Italian Cream Cheese cake with a more noticeable cream cheese taste flavored with cocoa. Don't get me wrong. It was good .... just wasn't what I was expecting. Kind of like picking up your tea glass only to find it's filled with soda. One more to go.
