Delicious brownies; good coffee; great service…read more My husband and I needed a break and some coffee while driving on Highway 63 in central Missouri. We were looking for a different bakery that apparently went out of business. We just happened to walk past this shop. We asked a woman sitting outside where we could get coffee, and she pointed inside the door of this shop. We asked some people working inside if they had coffee. Marcie immediately said she would make a fresh pot, and asked us to sit down. We sat down at one of the small tables. I looked in the bakery case, and saw some delicious-looking brownies. I told Marcie we would like two brownies. Marcie said that those brownies were a couple days old, but she had a new batch that was fresh out of the oven, and would we like a couple of those. We said yes. She gave us a choice of nuts or no nuts, and inside or edge brownies. We went for inside, with nuts. The brownies were warm, chewy and delicious. We spent the next 30-45 minutes talking with Marcie. She had recently returned to the Houston after living in San Francisco a few years. Marcie told us about starting the bakery within this storefront, which also offered crafts and essential oils made within a 30 mile radius. She told us about making cupcakes for a community event, someone's wedding cake, and other offerings. A local come in for coffee and some more fudge. We talked with him too. When we left Marcie gave us some free coconut caramel bars. Three things really impressed me about this shop. One is that instead of offering us older brownies and coffee, she offered us the freshest and very best. Second, the brownies were scrumptious and the coffee was very good. She plans to later offer a full service coffee bar. Third, we had a great time talking with Marcie and learning about life in Houston. What a welcome break from hours of highway driving., The bakery shop is not large, nor the selection huge, but our visit there was memorable. We will definitely return if we pass through Houston again.

Cake was dry. The look of the cake was terrible. I paid for a professionally decorated cake and…read moregot a cake that looked like a 10 year old iced it. It was lopsided, the buttercream icing was an odd shade greenish yellow. The flowers on the cake were not made of icing, they were silk flowers.

And the coffee is also roasted locally. So yeah, this was a pretty neat stop in very rural Missouri as we're headed across on US-60 from the one side to the next. After seated, we took a look at the menu. Options for both of us were easy. Mrs. K. is a connoisseur of French Toast. As she doesn't eat meat, this is her usual "go to" for breakfast so that was her easy choice at The Ranch House this morning. Me, I'm on keto so I was able to have their three-egg omelet with all the veggies plus added steak sausage. Coffee arrived first and it was excellent. Just a simple drop, it was rich and hot and perfection. A little bit later, breakfast arrived. I very much enjoyed the omelet as it was tasty. I could really taste the eggs in here today. Yum! Mrs. K. said "This is the best French Toast that I have ever had" and that's really saying something as she's enjoyed dozens if not a couple hundred portions across my Yelp career. Wow. Breakfast was around $40 with tip. And afterward, we wandered around the small town of Van Buren for a bit. A truly lovely stop. [Review 669 of 2026 - 523 in Missouri - 25850 overall]
