I was after some gluten free cookies, and I didn't want to drive into Austin to find any. After…read moregoogling local gluten free bakeries, Tough Cookie Bakery in Bastrop came up. They have gluten free options as well as vegan options and options for those who can have gluten. I went there for three out of the six days that I was on vacation in that area. I had originally wanted a chocolate chip cookie, but they didn't do just regular gluten free ones. However they did have gluten free peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. I'm not a big fan of peanut butter, but I thought I would try it since I was really craving a cookie. I had just the one, and it was so so so good! It didn't taste overly of peanut butter which was a win for me! It had just the right amount of peanut butter and chocolate chips. It was crispy around the edges and chewy towards the middle. I went back that same day and got two more of those cookies. The other days I went I got the same thing. One day, I did try their gluten free apple butter bar which was just as amazing! Service was fantastic! Each day I went, there was someone I hadn't seen before working. Each of them were super nice and friendly. The bakery itself had a very calm ambiance about it. It had a lot of space inside if you wanted to eat your meal or dessert inside or you could get it to go. I also love how Tough Cookie Bakery supports the LGBTQ+ community. There was a pride flag painted outside of the bakery, and that just made me love the place that much more! I would definitely recommend Tough Cookie Bakery in Bastrop. I can't wait to go back once we're back in the area at the end of this month.

The original…read morefurniture pieces add such a warm and nostalgic touch to the overall aesthetic, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. The only letdown was finding out that the ice cream isn't homemade or unique to the shop--it's just Blue Bell. Now, as a lifelong Blue Bell fan, I'll never turn it down, but with a place that has so much originality and character, we were hoping for a menu that reflected that same spirit. Still, it's a cute spot and worth a visit for the atmosphere alone.

When you arrive inside you get a southern homey vibe and are greeted with smiles. I then noticed on the wall that they were known for their breakfast. So I was ecstatic to try it out. When seated I scanned over the menu and decided to try the Chicken Fried Steak breakfast plate. When the food arrived I was shocked! The portions were huge and the biscuit was so soft and delicious and the potatoes were crispy and delectable! The eggs were fluffy and the entire overall experience was phenomenal! I highly recommend this place and even the price was decent! So if you are in the area and want a good meal, stop bye!

Minus one star for cleanliness. Read on…read more Very good breakfast. Popular! Tons of people. We only had about a 20 minute wait at 9am-ish on Mother's Day. That's fine because it allowed us a bit of time to check out downtown Bastrop. Once seated, service was American cafe classic. Very friendly and full of memorabilia on the walls and decore. The evening cleaning crew left us an upside down dead . . . Yup, you guessed it. We told the server, they might want to clean it up before seating the next guest at that table. Rule of restaurant opening is to sweep before the doors are opened. We will probably be back because it's still a great place for breakfast. CritDicks

I asked about a pie and they said that all pies have to be ordered two days in advance. I'm not really sure why they have a storefront. I gave a second star because they were very nice despite not having any, you know, baked goods for purchase. *** Edited to include business response: Well darn! I wish you had directed me to that case, we probably could've done with some cupcakes. I will try again next time I'm in town.

Pretty damn gross. I couldn't even find an employee when I went in, no one was around and then I saw one girl just standing in the back on her phone, did not greet me at all until I said hello a few times. I was there a couple times in September and October and it seemed different then. The manager was very friendly and helpful, store was clean and pretty well stocked and it was a completely different experience than the one I had recently. What's going on?

The coffee menu is what drew us in further but as we were getting ready to leave the owner mentioned baklava. As we got to talking he presented the best looking baklava I've ever seen. It was not thin or tacky "taffy" feeling when we ate it. It was puffy and flakey and smooth like honey. I was in such a hurry to try it I forgot a picture. They're just getting started but I'm excited to go back and see what else they have to offer. Give them a try Yelpers!

Everything was delivered on without any issues; they made sure the cookies were beautifully presented, and incredibly fresh. For the quality and service, their pricing was more than reasonable.
