    04/2025 My wife and I came in for the first time for lunch on a Friday afternoon, around 12 PM, during our visit to Glen Rose. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The Cafe was fairly busy, but there was plenty of seating available. The Cafe is spacious and it seems to be good for small and larger parties.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The set-up is great, especially if you're a book-lover. The walls are filled with shelves of all types of books and there's a lot of creative, book-related decor throughout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There is a small parking lot, but also know it's a couple of minutes walking from GR's downtown area, an easy and quick stroll if you want to park somewhere there. When we sat down we were greeted promptly and our waitress was very attentive and kind throughout our meal. There's definitely a culture of hospitality here that we felt and loved. To eat, I ordered the Sarah, grilled, which included:Turkey, Bacon, Cheese, and Avocado, on Wheatberry bread. I had "Brewed Peach Tea" to drink. The sandwich was DELICIOUS and I love that it was full and fat. They have a variety of other sandwich options that also sound so appetizing. The sandwich comes with a side of chips of your choice. The iced tea was also great, perfect on a warmer day. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend it. Their hours go into the early afternoon only so be aware of that. Can't wait to come back!!!!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]What a fun and eclectic spot in Glen Rose.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered off the secret menu and chose the jalapeño popper grilled cheese. My husband ordered the club. Both of us got BBQ chips. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The service was friendly and the bookstore element made lunch super cozy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Chicken salad sandwich

    The best sandwich after a long hike at the state park. Super friendly, small town place and was very welcoming. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cutest book store vibes, will be returning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I've been going to Storiebook cafe with my mom in Glen rose for a while now and their sandwiches are always on point! I still have things I want to try there but the sandwiches I typically get with seasonal fruit always hits the spot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I LOVE the ambiance here. I love the library and book cafe vibes here along with the seasonal decor they have throughout the year.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They play oldie 50's music which is so great and I love also.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is always good here and the ladies are attentive and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love that me, my mom, and sometimes my grandma can just relax by playing card games or board games, or reading.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend here and so many other local places in Glen Rose Tx!

    Food is Great and the staff is better. Try the secret menu. If you're in town give them a try.

    What the What!? Iced coffee goodness!
    Corey L.

    What the What!? Coffee never looked so good! Don't get me started on the taste! Oh my oh my; it taste better than it looks! By the by, this place actually freezes decaffeinated coffee to make their ice cubes so if you are a slow sipper the ice doesn't water down the goodness! Excellent, outstanding, and all my Kudos to job well done! Wish I lived here so I could partake in this on a weekly basis! Ask for JeNNifer with 2 N's She served me Well!

    Friendly service and good fresh food. The back dining room is a great place to occupy kiddos while waiting for food.

    An absolute MUST STOP along I-35 and now my second visit to West, Texas (not West Texas, which is…read morecompletely different). I've been to the other one and now I am here. And while the other one is great and fabulous, this one is one star better. A huge selection of baked goods, coffee, decor, clothing, drinks and more. The Kissing Pig Cafe has so many food options, too! Mrs. K. has not had a kolache in years and she's now pescatarian which presents certain challenges. It would be awesome if they had some kolaches with just cheese or were sweet, so while I had one with ham and cheese and one with sausage in cheese, she was at least able to enjoy a strawberry and cream danish as well as the always awesome poppyseed kolache. It's possible that a pecan square was purchased for later consumption, too. The self-serve coffee was great and we enjoyed all of this inside at a comfortable table. And after that, more shopping. So much great stuff to choose from here and very, very clean restrooms. If you're overwhelmed by that massive baked goods counter, just ask for recommendations. They'll get you sorted for sure! [Review 381 of 2026 - 698 in Texas - 25566 overall]

    Pluses: nice clean stop along the route. Clean bathrooms after you worm your way through aisles of…read morekitsch, and a meat market and kolache counter to visit after you've "done your duty". Excellent selection of kolaches and klobasneky. You can also buy sandwiches. Minus: as on previous visits, I have found that they are often out of poppyseed and prune kolaches. Not the servers' fault but you would think management would be keen to bake more of what sells most. Then there are the sandwiches. If you want pork, you'll get value. But if you want brisket, look out! I've never seen a more miserly portion offered for 13 dollars. I understand that brisket is expensive now. But I still get it at various restaurants and have to say that it was a five dollar sandwich for thirteen bucks. Additionally, the sandwich maker apparently does not know what and order for "moist" brisket means. Mine proved rather dry.
