Parking on the left side of the house/cafe, walking up the handicap-accessible ramp...the porch itself is a wonder to behold with at least three swings and a few small tables. Current food and drink offerings are posted on an old door propped against a corner by the entry. I was overwhelmed with the flavor combinations, delighted by the branding of the shop, and knew I'd be making a big purchase--not being local and rarely traveling through Hico, TX we had to sample what is on offer from savory to sweet! Hico, TX has a real treasure right here ya'll! Honey lavender latte (seasonal), ham and gruyere muffin, and molasses cookies won the day for me! My partner agreed that of the three items I purchased for him, if only permitted to order one item again, it would be the molasses cookie! Similar to my aunt and grandma's chewy molasses cookie recipe, I was instantly transported to nostalgialand - grandma's kitchen or a ramshackle old cottage we used to reunion at--surrounded by relatives. Every bite filling me with goodness, warmth, and love! This is a spot I would frequent were I local to Hico--proudly sharing this beauty and its offerings with guests and purchasing goodies for office/special gatherings. If you're traveling down the road like we were, looking for a nice local coffee and something warm and delicious to eat, look no further. This is a MUST STOP.

My wife and I were on our way home from Glen Rose, TX and decided to stop by for some breakfast…read moreto-go. The name on Yelp of this restaurant needs to be changed to "2nd Street Social." It's right next door to where the address on the Yelp Page will take you, but it is formerly the "Bakeshop." The staff mentioned to us the former building/house was being renovated to become an AirBnB or something. We were looking forward to patio seating given we had our pup with us, but the restaurant didn't have any, so we opted for drive-thru. The restaurant itself has a small parking lot. The woman who took our order was very kind and informative, as mentioned previously. I ordered an "Iced Latte with White Chocolate" and ordered the "Breakfast Burrito," which contained sausage, scrambled eggs, and cheese. The latte was good, creamy and sweet with the WC flavoring. The burrito was also good, not amazing, but good! I should have ordered 2 of them, it wasn't too big, so keep that in mind. The cheese was melted inside and the sausage was super flavorful. There was a section of my burrito in which the sausage was actually cold, which took me by surprise, but other than that it was good. Pricing was decent for what we ordered. We would come back if we were driving through again!!

I don't see why this place only has a two star rating. I guess people just love to complain about…read morefree stuff. Regardless, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I've eaten at fancy restaurants all over the world. And while this isn't that... it gets the job done. The portion sizes are better than most dfac's I've been to, and the flavor and food quality is pretty good. Their bacon is tasty. The eggs are your typical bagged variety scrambled. They make decent biscuits and gravy. Their fresh fruit, is fresh, juicy, and sweet. My first cup of coffee was terrible, but I later found that the coffee machine has a function called " smooth" which has a much better flavor! The grits are good. And I've had a good bowl of gumbo. The service is good, and the folks are friendly!

I'd say the DFAC is ok. Don't expect any omelettes. But overall it nice and staff are cool.read more

We ordered a cheeseburger and fries and the BBQ plate special with bread pudding. The hamburger was made with freshly ground meat on the grill. Very juicy and tasty! Fries were homemade and perfect. Best burger I've had in a while. BBQ was good and pinto beans were excellent. Topped it off with coconut meringue pie. Yum!! Very cute little cafe with friendly waitress and excellent cooks. Wish it were closer to home but if in the area, it's a definite repeat.
