My mom and I stopped in for coffee after our work out. I love supporting local small businesses and…read moremade a point to pick a spot that neither of us had been to before. Meridian is in downtown Buda and is connected to Zoi Wellness. We were able to park in the parking lot across the street. Upon walking in, the space had a rustic loft feel with lots of greenery. The furniture made it feel very cozy. I honestly didn't expect to find a coffee shop like this in Buda. The barista was very nice and gave recommendations. My mom and I both ordered Iced Pecan Pie Lattes which was a seasonal drink that they were featuring. We ordered our drinks to go, but then decided to sit in the cafe and enjoy our beverages. The coffee is legit! We both liked our beverages. I really enjoyed the pecan flavor and the sweetness level was perfect. The barista informed us that they make all of their syrups in house. I noticed that there were plenty of outlets for work or study. There's quite a bit of seating including couches. They have QR codes at each table that you can order from which is so convenient. In addition to coffee (which is served until 5 pm), they also have wellness drinks, wine, beer and cocktails. They have a nice sized stage for live music. I would love to go back in the evening for a cocktail and live music! I'm so happy to have discovered this gem in Buda!

We are absolutely obsessed with the breakfast sandwich and pastry options at teal house! Our…read morefavorites are the cinnamon roll croissant and the almond chocolate cookie croissant. The service is great and we love grabbing a drink at meridian after we pick up our treats. We are so thankful this is in Buda and just have nothing but great things to say. Highly recommend checking them out if you are in the area.

In Buda up from San Antonio to pick up an online order early in the morning, I come across the Teal…read moreHouse and stop for a quick bite to eat based on their high Yelp rating. As you walk in, you'll notice the building space has a store front where the sell other retail items besides food. You have to walk to the back to place your order at the counter, just follow your nose as you can smell the baked goodness in the air. You can see the bakers hard at work making everything fresh from scratch. I look at the display case of goodies and know I'll be leaving with more than I came on for. I look over the menu and order the croissant breakfast sandwich with sausage and 3 Danishes (cheese, blueberry, and strawberry). When they call my name, I pick up the order and find a seat in the neighboring spot which sell coffee, tea, and other drinks (see separate review for Meridian). The croissant breakfast sandwich comes with a scrambled egg, sliced link sausage and a green salsa that has a nice heat to it. The croissant itself it nicely toasted and just crumbles in your mouth as you take your first bite. The sandwich is hearty and will fill you up. When I get back home, I try the blueberry Danish and it's as good as it looks. Flaky crust with a great blueberry center filling. If you're ever in Buda, you should come and try the Teal House.

The store is super clean, well-organized, and all the machines also are very clean and nicely maintained. I don't know what I love more - the tea or that Free Rein Coffee! I love TX made coffee, and HTeaO has Free Rein which is DELICIOUS! I love their coffee drinks and the variation - must better than Starbucks! So many tea options! Endless combos, and I appreciate that they have unsweetened and sweetened options along with sugar free. I love the Gingerbread combination that includes TX Pecan Tea. Pink lemonade, unsweetened tea, green almond tea, just so many options, each of them delicious and fresh! All in all, we love HTeaO, especially during Happy Hour which is 2-4PM for 1/2 price tea! Definitely stop by! You'll enjoy it!

I stopped into Chaparral while on a brief trip to Lockhart, and what I didn't expect was a huge 5K…read moreand 10K to be happening at the same time I was in town. A ton of the runners and spectators needed a little coffee fix after the race, so Chaparral had a huge rush while I was in town. This created a long line and a long back order of drinks. Instead of complaining about how long it took and OH MY GOSH HOW DARE THEY MAKE ME WAIT, I have to give them credit. Though the 3 people working were slammed, they were churning out orders quickly and efficiently, fighting off the rush one drink at a time. It took about 20ish minutes to get my coffee, but after getting my hot lavender latte with oat milk, it was worth the wait. It was a very quality cup, and it was just what I needed to start my day. The shop is super narrow, but super cute and stylish. The roadrunner LED on the wall really added to the shop's character. Next time I'm in Lockhart, I'll go out of my way to get back to Chaparral.
