Maybe it was just the best accompaniment after the most delicate brisket ever but I just had to taste more of these pies before we left.. without waiting the 2 hours in line ofc. Well we tracked the pies down to the SFC downtown farmers market on Saturday morning where not only were the fresh pies warm, but Melissa's golden personality as well! It's safe to say that one visit will make you a regular. I know that I will be coming back just to get my fix.

The vibe is cozy and super welcoming. One of those places where you walk in and immediately feel comfortable, like it's familiar even if it's your first time. Elena, one of the co-owners, is usually there and she's the best. Super nice, really knows her coffee, and if you chat with her she can even teach you some Spanish. You can tell she genuinely cares about the place and the people who come in. Also don't leave without trying the ham and cheese empanadas. They're a must and go perfectly with the coffee. Cafe Nena'i is one of those spots we never get tired of coming back to.

Be warned: you're going to leave with lighter wallets and heavier bags…read more Let me start by saying pulling off Highway 71 for anything is flirting with death. Cars zoom past like they're running away for their lives, but I risked my life for the giant squirrel statue sitting on the side of the road. What is this thing and what is the store attached to it? I had to see. Birthday weekend energy. Inside, the first thing that hits you is that massive pecan scented candle filling the whole store. They did this on purpose. It feels like a cozy Hallmark movie. The place smells delightful and that scent makes you want to buy something. Makes you ready to sample everything in sight. You deserve this. The store has everything: pecan pies, pecan candy, shelled/unshelled pecans, jams, jellies, hot sauces, toys, Texas branded/themed everything...you name it. It's all specialty, all cute, and all priced like it. I grabbed my niece two grenade-shaped hot sauces from "The General" brand because they were trendy and hilarious. But YIKES...Fifteen dollars each. Why, why, WHYYYYYYYY???? I gently reminded myself that Christmas is coming and delusion is part of the season. The staff was unbelievably friendly. They nudged you to sample this, try that, taste this. But beware because that southern hospitality will have you spending money you know you shouldn't or know you don't have. Once the total in my head started climbing, I called it and marched to the register before I got reckless. All in all, it's a fun little stop to stretch your legs, snack on some samples, and pick up something quirky. Pace yourself!

We never skip the cinnamon rolls -- they're a must -- and we love grabbing an assortment of pastries with each visit to try something new. Last week they had gingerbread men, and it totally put me in the holiday spirit (Christmas in July, anyone?!). The service is always friendly and welcoming. I genuinely enjoy chatting with the staff and getting their recommendations. Our favorites so far are the cinnamon rolls, lemon bar, gingerbread man, and baguette -- all absolutely delicious.

Their 16 ounce coffee was $10, $10! Here I got my delicious cold brew and a bagel and paid $8. Thank you, captain, quack for not raising your prices ridiculously with the inflation of everything. As always, my day has turned around thanks to Captain quacks! I love this place so very much. My go-to is usually their vegan chocolate muffin. It is insanely delicious and I'm not even a vegan, but it's double chocolate so of course I had to try it. The ambience here is an absolutely awesome vibe I always feel comfortable here with the right blend of people, and the awesome people who work here. This is not some stuck up bougie cafe, it's relaxed and it offers a variety of events at night too! I'm a capt quacks girl for life (so long as I don't have to pay $10 for cold brew!) hehe

But entrees are pretty much pasta or pizza. Still... the pasta is obviously made from scratch, and that's not something I expected in Bastrop, so I'm very pleased. I have not tried the pizza. It looked good. But in my next visit I'll try the pasta that's served in a cheese rind. And the time after that I'm probably reorder exactly what I tried last night, which is the Cannelloni Funghi - three amazing tubes of fresh pasta, stuffed with Italian cheese and a bit of veal mince, and topped with a mushroom cream sauce and a liberal amount of shaved parmesan cheese. So rich and velvety and flavorful! Yes, they offer fresh ground black pepper :-) I had what the waiter described at "spumoni" but it was not spumoni ice cream - it was what he described as an "adult milkshake" with a chocolate liqueur and brandy. It was really tastey. They say they have "chocolate chip gelato" lol. But don't get fooled, it's authentic Italian stracciatella! That's so iconic in Italy. It's really sad that the waiter called it "chocolate chip." Hardly does it justice, as you'd know if you've tried it. Their $15 cocktails are really good. But who puts Jim Beam in a Manhattan, Negroni or an Old Fashion? One of the drinks had Templeton Rye, which was an infinitely better choice. I mean... Jim Beam? Really? I should have taken a star off for that... especially at that price. But... dang, that cannelloni was good!
