They make a delightful and delicious experience to eat :) I'm excited to try all of her cakes but from the few I've had, the chocolate caramel cake stands out. It was firm, moist, and rich but not over-the-top sugary like some cakes are. If you're looking for something fun and sophisticated, give her treats a try!

I got the walnut chocolate chip, and the key is definitely heating it according to the instructions. Before warming, it's good, but after heating? Incredible.

The service is always friendly and efficient. Though the footprint of the shop is small, they offer plenty of indoor seating and a charming patio area. Great for a quick caffeine fix or a relaxed morning bite. One small downside: if you're eyeing a seasonal drink with decorative toppings, skip the 'to-go' order. They don't include the garnishes on takeout drinks, so you'll miss out on the full presentation.

My first time trying Manana in South Congress, the interior was beautiful…read more I got the Mango Sticky Rice Matcha Latte, it came out to about $9+ with just whole milk, quite expensive! The drink overall was decent, I couldn't really taste the matcha, the mango puree, nor the sticky rice. I like the coconut taste even though it was very subtle. You could only taste a hint of everything described, and overall the drink was pretty bland. I love the decorations and the space inside though, it was so clean and aesthetics. They also have tables for you to work and chill as well.

First of all when we got there they were out of most pastry's and drinks so options were very…read morelimited. The vibe was nice and very chill the workers were nice not very enthusiastic but nice. We got two drinks the earl grey matcha and the mango sticky rice matcha, the earl grey matcha did not taste like earl grey I cannot describe the taste it had but it overpowered the matcha and you couldn't taste it. The mango sticky rice matcha was okay you could taste the matcha in this one but it had a very faint taste of mango. Overall compared to other coffee shops around town I don't think I'd be back

I am always on the lookout for a quality, authentic French bakery, and after hearing great things…read moreabout Violette Bakehouse, I couldn't wait to give them a try. I love a good almond croissant and chocolate croissant, but of course by the time I decided to stop by in the afternoon, they were all gone. Next time I know to arrive earlier in the day! Not to be deterred, the vegetable quiche looked amazing, and it was delicious. The crust was clearly fresh and homemade. I also loved that the owner stayed on brand and carries Maison Perrier drinks. The Forever Strawberry is one of my favorite flavors. For those of you who prefer gluten-free options, they offer GF macarons! I'm not gluten-free, so I indulged in the coconut and Oreo macarons, and they were delicious too. One incredible deal they offer is a $10 lunch special that includes quiche, a drink, and chips. The owner was so nice, and the overall experience was wonderful. I will definitely be back!

You know that you had better cake from an HEB and not pay hundreds for it. Fat Kids don't even eat the chocolate cakes from this place.

This place is in a great spot for foot traffic because of all the other places next to it. When you walk in there are tons of chocolates, cakes, macarons;etc. I took a look around the whole shop just to see what they offer and I have to say the options seemed almost limitless. I did like that they had gifting chocolates already out. After walking around, I ended up just buying the Kanafeh & Pistachio Taco which was a whopping $14.00 ! I do have to say for the size of the taco, I don't believe it's worth that much. Don't get me wrong it was very delicious and can appreciate how much of the mixture they tried to put in it, but the chocolate ended up being too much for me. Now to talk about the service, this is where things were a little awkward since the 2 employees were having a conversation the female was loudly talking about how she was pissed that things had to be done a certain way and complaining about doing stickers or something to the male, when I tell you I heard the entire conversation.... I heard the entire thing. Just my 2 cents, if you're going to complain about anyone that has to do with the business maybe be a little quieter with customers around or wait until they leave.

I was excited to spot them when I stopped by the cedar park farmers' market yesterday. I remember…read morereally enjoying their baked goods back at the mueller TFM. I was so highly disappointed. There was a rude person, playing/texting on his phone, unhelpful when we asked what items are popular, no eye contact or looking up from his phone - which is an unusual vibe at an otherwise-friendly setting of a TFM. This little vegetarian croissant is $7.50. I understand inflation etc but just can't get over the price tag here, when so many better bakeries exist at more reasonable $4.50-$5 per croissant pricing. The insides are undercooked and raw dough (see photo) and with barely any stuffing in it. There's no flavors or the flaky layers that croissants should have.

I could not find a phone number on their website or my order confirmation.

Giving 2 stars to bring awareness to this closed location, and lack of ways to contact the bakery to pick up my pre-paid order.

Best little health store this side of the Pecos! Hill…read moreCountry Health Store just recently celebrated their 29 year of service! I'm sure one reason they've been around that long is because of the great food a great service. Everyone is so helpful and friendly. I've stopped in several times when passing thru Marble Falls and have never been disappointed. They have everything you can think of-- alternative organic vegan health related; even crystals, books--you name it. Also, they have a kitchen that serves up fresh health food daily--what must be the best tasting health food I think I've ever had. This place feels like home. Almost makes me wish I lived in Mineral Wells. Everything is Gluten Free and Dairy Free--even the sweeties. So, if you have any food, allergies or sensitivities, this is the place. They also offer all kinds of health and healing modalities and therapies in the back. I'm usually just passing thru whenever I stop by, so haven't checked out their other services yet, but they do have an online sight where you can find more info. The frozen entree dishes are my fav. Prices are reasonable for this type of fare--except certain supplements I found in the apothecary, I thought are a bit overpriced, IMO. But on the upside--if there's something you need they probably have it. Regular parking is usually no problem with plenty of spaces out front just off Highway 281. If, however, you're like me, pulling a travel trailer or driving a big rig, then the best option is to park on Northwood Drive where there's plenty of free street curb parking available and then take a short walk to the store. I just recently tried their superfood smoothie and fresh hot served soup bowl. Definitely a must stop. See ya there next time.
