We were there around breakfast time and walked right up to the counter, placed our order and paid, and the young lady was very polite, professional, and nice. We did order food and coffee, there is a great selection of breakfast plates and some muffins and coffee selections. We got the green scrabble and the ranchero-everything was fresh, hot and came out quickly-within five minutes of us, finding a seat and sitting after getting our drinks. Food was tasty and again the young lady that was at the counter, came up to our table and asked if we needed anything else! All in all, customer, service, quality, ambience were great! We'll definitely return, as this is our go to end favorite place in town to go when we are here! Please support small businesses!!

That was a happy start of the day. We in turn gave our waitress a nice tip. She was happy. The meal was simple eggs, bacon, potatoes, toast. My wife had a omelette with bacon. Coffee was excellent. Nice rich taste which was refilled without asking. Sometimes we can make people feel happy. Now that is something we should do everyday. Enjoy!

Also, it was more of a taco than a burrito. Kolaches were excessively doughy and the sausage took more like a bland hot dog. Croissants also appeared doughy as opposed to flaky. Probably need more butter between the pastry sheets. But the apple fritters! Holy moly!!! Huge, delicious, crunchy, moist, apple chunks, cinnamon sweet glaze....perfection. Their red velvet donuts also looked pretty amazing. Nice and patient staff.

They offer at different times, excellent breakfast burritos, burgers almost daily, enchiladas with beans and rice, accompanied with chips and very tasty salsa. Periodic specials appear randomly, such as chicken and dumplings, or chicken noodle soup, and most recently, Friday is fish day. Either a 2pc or a 4pc fried catfish dinner with fries, hush puppies, coleslaw, beans and rice offered as sides. I just enjoyed a 4 pc, and they do NOT skimp on the fish. I couldn't finish it, just too much food, but very good. To keep track of what they are doing, Facebook has they're page, Lake Sweetwater General Store, or the more popular group, Friends of Old Lake Sweetwater. They're posting regularly there to promote their business to us locals. As a Lake Sweetwater resident, it's nice to have this convenience, but if you're passing nearby, worth a look.

I thought it would be the perfect stop to stretch our legs and take a potty break. First - the yelp app map is completely wrong on the location. We were driving along I20 looking for the exit when my husband said "wait - did you say "Lati's Pottery? We just passed it!" After figuring out how to turn around and get back to it we finally arrived and I was super excited! Started looking around outside, tried the door to go in and it was locked. Sign said to knock if locked so we did and it was promptly answered. However it was evident she was anxious to get back behind her counter and not deal with us. My husband asked if he could use bathroom and she said "no".... And there is a no public bathroom sign so we understood that. Okay..... husband told me to look around and he would hold it as best he could so I could shop. I tried to strike up a conversation with her to tell her the app map was wrong - she was short and just not interested. We went outside and looked around but frankly i had lost the will to spend my money there. Yes - part of the issue is we needed a bathroom stop - but her attitude ensures that When we drive by again in a couple days - we won't plan on stopping.

The clerks are incredibly helpful, and awfully nice! The location is newer, better kept, and the stuff they have in stock is of better quality and priced a bit better!
