My Must‑Stop Coffee Spot in Gruene…read more Gruene Coffee Haus is my go‑to spot every time I'm in Gruene, and since I live close by, it's an easy stop that never disappoints. The location is perfect, the vibe is cozy, and it's one of those places that just becomes part of your routine. They offer all the standard drinks along with great specialty options -- lattes, teas, smoothies -- and everything is consistently good. The service is friendly, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for such a popular local shop. They also feature some amazing coffee beans, including my absolute favorites: Texas Pecan and Bourbon Streusel Cake. And if you want them ground, they'll do it for you on the spot. The shop itself is small, so it fills up pretty quickly, and their assorted pastries tend to go fast too -- but honestly, that just shows how loved this place is.

This cute little shop is located in downtown New Braunfels and they share space with another boutique. There is a lot of construction happening right now around the downtown area so it can be easy to miss if you are not paying attention. They are located in the back area of the space and have a nice coffee bar and table for you to hang out. They have a small but mighty selection of romance and fantasy books (primarily) and also offer a few other bookish items. I love that they had an ACOTAR themed book menu! I ordered their Night Court which was cold brew with chocolate foam and it was delicious and perfect for our hot Texas weather. Overall this is a great bookstore, and I can't wait to come back again.

Maybe that's why they didn't get my order correct. Why is it that people who work at a location feel that all of us like listening to music that is too loud to have a conversation with someone else.

I ordered the strawberry pastry with an iced The Dude (vanilla latte). The display of the baked…read moregoods were placed on a small 3-tier display that wasn't up for grabs, they get your choices from the back. They were out of the raspberry which was what I initially wanted. From the looks of it, I thought it was going to be flakey, not doughy, or else I wouldn't have gotten it. So basically like hawaiian bread consistency & strawberry chunks in syrup. I was not impressed at all. For one, you can tell they popped it in the microwave. So not only not fresh but the texture was not it. I also wish she would have asked if we wanted it warmed up because I really do not like pastries, cinnamon rolls, muffins, ect. heated up. I wish it was of just fresh strawberries rather than an overly sweet processed "preserve" of it. I tried my mom's chocolate croissant & we both could just taste what would come out of a microwave, plus it was tough to chew. The Dude was okay, nothing to rave about there. $22 for 2 pastries & 2 coffees is outrageous but again we living in quality decline & price increases. Really trusted on the reviews I've seen on this one, bummer.

This place has a great vibe--it's a little hip and a fun spot to just hang out. We ordered a cheesecake in a jar, along with a couple of cheesecake slices, and everything was amazing. The girl working there was super friendly and walked me through all of the options they had available. Her recommendations made it even harder to choose because everything looked so good! When we're back in the area, we'll definitely be stopping by for another sugar fix. Highly recommend for any cheesecake lover!
