We drove through Livingston while on a road trip and stopped at Katie's and we were so glad we did! We had the turkey, bacon, and avocado sandwich, the Benny from the South, the Southern Benny, the specialty donut (cookies and cream) and a couple lattes. Every single thing we had was excellent and the service was great! Our only complaint is that it's so far from our home! Next time we're out this way, we'll make it a priority to stop at Katie's! read more

Katie's Cafe & Bakery - The cookies and cream donut was delicious! - Bakeries Near Me - Livingston, Texas

Small quaint, counter ordering Cafe. Courteous staff, delicious baked goods 1. Strawberry cheesecake stuffed donut - delicious, hits every sugary tastebud! All of the baked goods looked irresistible! You'll have a hard time choosing. Chocolate blonde brownie, just try to choose! LOL good luck! LOL 2. The SOB sandwich, very filling, the French fries, piping hot with great seasoning. It would be nice to have more egg, omelet, skillet options on the menu but you'll enjoy what is on the menu. Enjoy. read more

We had dinner there yesterday purely by accident. A doctor appt ran late and we missed the place we planned to go. This was recommended. If you like a casual atmosphere with fine dining cuisine, this is the place. Seemed a little pricey when we walked in. One bite and it was completely worth it! We will definitely go back to try other things. Meals were 5* and staff was attentive and friendly. Fun find! read more

Rating purely based on the cookies brought home to me. These cookies were surprisingly scrumptious! They are dense and chewy cookies (my favorite type!) and also thick. :D Biscoff cookie (4.5/5)-- this one made me a fan! The cookie was sweet with pockets of Biscoff spread inside. Great for any Biscoff lover! The quality control isn't the best though, as the second time I had the cookie, it was dry and crumbly. If the cookie is usually dry like that, it would be more of a 3/5. I would risk another try though! Cookies and cream (4/5)-- this one was a good cookie too, capturing all the essence of an Oreo flavor. It didn't stand out in uniqueness but it was yummy :) this one was a little harder and crumblier than the Biscoff cookie, but now I wonder if it was just old or dried out... Pistachio brittle/toffee cookie (3/5)-- wasn't a fan of this one, as the taste was a bit off (either a little bitter or maybe artificial tasting?) and the brittle chunks were super hard, super sweet , and super sticky (like butterfinger filling but less melty!). The chunks were tasty (and veryyy sweet), but I had to pick them out and eat the separately since it didn't pair well with the cookie texture for me. MT says the service has always been nice, and they seemed really happy when he bought whole load of cookies, hehe~ Katie's Cafe is one of the go-to spots for his lunches out there! read more

We have lived in Livingston a year and finally got around to having dinner at Katie's! The food exceeded our expectations and so did the service. We started with an old fashioned, ginger beer, truffle parmesan fries and brisket bombs. The drinks and appetizer were outstanding! Everyone needs to try their brisket bombs!! They melt in your mouth. Very generous portion of truffle Parmesan fries that we took home and enjoyed the next day! My husband's steak was well marbled and cooked to perfection. He was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the steak. Super tender and well seasoned! Salmon was fresh with a yummy sauce. For dessert we had creme brûlée. It was some of the best and we order it everywhere we go. You can't go wrong with Katie's! Highly recommend. read more

Cute little cafe that is about the halfway mark between Houston and Carthage. Good food and nice lattes.

We were passing thru and pleasantly surprised to stop at this absolutely darling little cafe! (Finally a decent high quality menu for Livingston.) The atmosphere and decor is super cute, and the service was fabulous. We had the crab cakes, by recommendation, for an appetizer and they were very tasty. We also had the burger and pork chop, both were hearty and cooked perfectly. What a nice little gem for this town. Definitely would recommend! read more

For a small town to have a place like this is absolutely marvelous!! Laughing with my husband the sign says please wait to be seated, I said I bet you they will tell you to sit anywhere. Just the the lady in back says "please sit anywhere you would like". We grabbed a table and were given two menus and our drink order was taken. We both decided on the BOB, burger on a board. The bacon jam was delicious, really could not taste the cheese flavors. Burger was cooked to perfection. Be prepared for your hands to get messy. I decided to eat mine with a fork and knife. Hubs had his hands dripping but was a happy burger eater. Fries were also very good. Service was spot on! Had to ask for another glass or water but other than that friendly and quick. Now my only regret I did not get a brownie or a massive cookie. read more

Came here today in the afternoon & this is my new favorite place !! Yumm yumm yumm !! I had the best soup I've ever had !! It was roasted poblano peppers & white cheddar cheese soup. It was so delicious that when my husband asked How is it, he wanted me to say, Wanna try some? But I ended up eating the bowl and just one spoon left. I said Oh I'm sorry, you want the last spoonful? Lol The decor is sooo cute ! I love it. I wanna do our kitchen in the color of the place. We're in town just for one day, so glad I found it today so I could go back tomorrow !! read more

First time at Katie's was in the morning for breakfast. Incredible (it was the brisket and eggs btw). So that piqued my interest. Cut to hours later and I decided I needed cocktails, apps and dessert. The deep fried goat cheese with lavender infused honey is an absolute must try. The staff is friendly and welcoming and the establishment is owned by locals. There simply isn't a better place in Livingston. It's a must try. read more

This place is excellent. Food is great. Service is great. Large selection of menu items. Desserts are delicious! Love this place!

First time visiting this restaurant and unfortunately it wasn't a good experience. When we arrived, there was only one couple in the dining room. We placed our order and waited about 40 minutes for our food, while several other tables who arrived after us were served first. When I asked the manager, Lakyn, what happened, they admitted they had forgotten our order. What makes it worse is you are asked to tip upfront before you even receive service. Even after the delay and the mistake, the manager offered no solution and didn't comp anything or try to make it right. This was our first visit and it will also be our last. read more

I had a terrible experience here. Our food took more than 40 minutes come out, even though several tables that arrived after us were served first. I had already tipped because of the way the payment system worked, which made the situation even more frustrating. When the food finally came, it was cold. I actually had to get up and ask about our order because it was obvious they forgot about us. We spoke to the manager, and the only explanation we got was that "they had to batter the chicken" No apology, no attempt to make it right, no sense of accountability at all. Nothing was offered to fix the situation. Easily one of the worst dining experiences I've had. I won't be returning. Do not recommend! read more

This is absolutely a gem. We stopped by just for coffee and a treat on our trip, and I wish we could have stayed longer. The food looked and smelled splendid! Everyone was so helpful and kind, and it was such a lovely little retreat. Beautiful inside and out. Every detail has been so carefully chosen, you can tell a lot of love has been poured into this bakery. We shared a red velvet filled doughnut that will never be rivaled. It was perfection. The red velvet filling was creamy chocolate perfection, and the dough was so pillowy and dreamy, but the crème brulle crust! Chef's kiss. We've made plans to stop by on any future trips through Livingston. I would absolutely go out of my way to stop here again. read more

Order at table and serve to patrons if you want tips, group of 6 ordered food close to same time and orders came out at varied times so the first to get order was done eating by time last got food. Need quality control, I ordered Cobb salad and friend ordered same, mine had spring mix no iceberg lettuce and no eggs, friend had iceberg and eggs. My husband ordered biscuits and gravy, order came out as 1 busquit whole with minimum if gravy served in bowl very hard to eat. We will not return. read more

I rate this a three because the service was awesome! The food could use a little improvement. I got the sliced turkey avocado bacon sandwich. It was dry no mayo, ranch, etc. it came with "fries" (sliced potatoes, my favorite) they had a lot of salt! I tried brushing it off, but there was quite a bit. read more

What amazing food and plating. The Deviled eggs are not what you would expect, they know about flavor pairing and it is obvious with these. Fried goat cheese was also delicious. I went with the SOB for my meal and it was delicious and unlike any brisket sandwich that you have had before. The staff was friendly, helpful and always there with a refill or anything else when needed. Katie's is well decorated and a the type of place that Livingston needs. read more

Great food, loved the SOB sandwich and sweet tea is delicious! I would definitely come back!

Long wait for it not being busy and the ladies at the counter are rude and super unfriendly. I will not be coming back! My friends meal was eaten and Mine was not even out! So I went up to the counter and said I want my order to go. And the rude girl looked at me like annoyed and I said o want Mine boxed up to go. Then another apathetic girl came with my boxed up food. And didn't even offer to box up my friends half Of sandwich so she had to wrap it up in a napkin . The soup I ordered was bland and cold and the sandwich was sub par and the potato chips were disgusting and burnt ! You guys need to step up to getting better customer service because it's a big fat zero!!!!! Oh and this is not Beverly Hills! Don't know why you guys are snooty and pretentious lol... ridiculous is what you all look like ! I damn sure won't recommend this place for people to eat at. You guys suck! read more

10/10 Best restaurant in Livingston! Service and Food are amazing and the sweets are irresistible.

This is one of the few good cafes in Livingston. I had the turkey, bacon, and avocado sandwich with a Greek salad. It was very tasty and the service was good. I also had a cucumber limeade which was very refreshing. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Service good. Ambiance great. But I have one complaint about the food. I ordered an SOB brisket sandwich and kind of felt like an SOB when I saw the amount of brisket in the sandwich. I thought an $18 sandwich would be 1/2 inch thick at least, but the brisket was 1/8 inch of the sandwich. The bread was tasty, but where was the beef? I won't be ordering this one again. And I'm gonna ask how much meat is in the next sandwich I order. If I had gotten a good serving of brisket I would give 5 stars, but alas I was left unsatisfied. read more

This is a cute little establishment in the downtown area of Livingston. The servers were extremely friendly and helpful, and the food is delightful. I very much enjoyed the cappuccino, whichever roast they're using is extremely good. I want to take this entire paragraph to touch upon the cookies. Now I consider myself a cookie connoisseur of sorts, and primarily a lot of my check-ins are bakeries and sweet shops across the US. I will say that the cookies here rival some of the heavy weights in this category that I've been to. Seriously, this is a place that outdoes Crumbl (for example) in every way while maintaining that same sort of big monstrous delicacy that they're known for. I'll highlight the s'mores cookie, the fact that all the flavors gnash together so well, the graham cracker flavor cookie base, the chocolate and the coup de grace marshmallow slathering on top that is perfectly browned. Amazing touch. Love. I will drive here from Houston anytime I'm in the area read more

The food is really good. The deviled eggs are yummy. The service is quick. Nice selection of desserts.

Wow, this place was amazing. I had the turkey bacon avocado sandwich with a cup of the tomato bisque soup and it was absolutely delicious. My mom had the burger and said it was divine. We also tried the appetizer fried cheese, goat balls oh, and they were wonderful. I would recommend everything we had. The service was fantastic, it was our first time there and everyone could not have been nicer And also helpful. We love the decor and just really enjoyed ourselves all around. I will definitely be back. It's my new favorite place. read more
