Yep, this place is a winner!…read more I've been to Lipan a couple of times, doing something called CityStrides. On those afternoon trips, Marcantonio's Bakery was closed, but I took note. I was determined to do another stride when Marcantonio's Bakery was open. That day was a couple of days ago. The other reviews tell it right. This is not your average small town bakery. At first look, it is a donut shop, but then you realize there is more to it. It is a bakery, and a pie shop. We (three) did our best to sample as much as we could. Everything was great. We had donuts, muffins, and sausage rolls. Everything quite delicious. My wife also made the observation that things were not "super sweet", and this is a good thing. I don't know what the source of their donut fillings, but they taste "fresh." I didn't think to ask the source, but it did not seem to be the chemically tasting fillings so common at other places. The proprietor is super friendly. He gave us a bit of the background on Marcantonio's Bakery, and it's a cool story. I'll just give you a snippet. It's been around since 1998! Want to know more? Come by and talk to Frank! If you have a chance. yo need to check this place out, and a couple other cool places in Lipan! Bottom line: Even when I'm done Striding the city (it's only 22 streets), I'll be coming back to Lipan for tasty treats, cheese (from across the street), and flatbread pizza (another place across the street).

I placed an order online and went to pick it up. The lady who was working did not see that I placed an order online.

I will continue to use them for all occasions!!

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.

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.

I won't get donuts anywhere else. Always fresh and delicious. Better than anyone around.read more

These are what I would buy from the Walmart bargain shelf for a kindergarten party... The cake itself was dry and almost flavorless, with a slight sour note. The frosting was all sugar, no cream, and no flavor. Just an overwhelming bite of sweet, sour, and dry. Do yourself a favor, go somewhere else for your custom cupcakes and sweets.

Cute kid, but we weren't sure if we had walked into a restaurant or a homeschool business project. We asked if we should seat ourselves. He said yes. So we did. Then we fetched our own menus because clearly we were expected to earn our breakfast. We waited... and waited... until we finally asked if he was the one supposed to take our order. He said yes, very matter-of-factly, like duh. So we placed our order: the "kids" pancake, a breakfast burrito, and a chicken biscuit. What showed up: THREE giant pancakes for the kid's order -- like, "Texas Roadhouse meets elementary school lunch special." Way overkill. But to be fair, they were the tastiest thing we had. And they came with a giant cup of maple syrup -- no exaggeration. We're talking enough to drown the pancakes, your feelings, and possibly a small dog. Honestly, I respect the chaos. The burrito was huge and greasy, but pretty decent. The chicken biscuit? Picture a frozen chicken tender slapped on a biscuit with all the enthusiasm of a middle school cafeteria lunch lady. It was fine. Just... fine. Drinks? We asked for water and orange juice and got a plastic water bottle and a mini OJ. Low effort, high price. After the meal, the kid vanished like a magician. We waited around to pay, but no adults appeared unless you actively summoned them like some sort of brunch séance. Eventually my husband went to the back to find someone because another poor guy had been standing at the counter for 10+ minutes. An adult helped him, disappeared again, and we finally paid the kid (again -- love supporting youth employment, but maybe not as the only staff on the floor). The total? $25 for a meal that should've been more like $16 plus the cost of two bottled drinks. We didn't leave a tip because... well... that was the tipped price already. There was another group there who clearly knew the drill -- getting their own drinks, grabbing to-go boxes, probably flipping pancakes themselves. Locals, I assume. Look, I'm all for letting kids help in a family business. That's awesome. But maybe also have an adult present and, you know, supervising? Small town charm is one thing. This felt more like a pancake-themed fever dream.
