Everything! I loved my choice of sandwich with the pickle on the side, chili, ice cream and different flavors of candies. The vintage atmosphere and the beautiful outdoor patio.

I have been stopping at this store since I was a little kid. My grandmother always took us there on our way to see my uncle when he was in the army at Killeen.

We stopped in for a bit on our way home from Christmas. We were hungry but also wanted a chance to stretch our legs and let our toddler move. This was the perfect place!! It has a super fun shop up front and a cute deli in the back. All the bread is cooked in house and it was delicious!! Their back patio was absolutely perfect for a lunch break! They even had a bucket of balls that you can play with. There was a cute little creek running through the back area my boys loved exploring. We finished up with some delicious fudge and dark chocolate truffles. So glad we stopped in!!

If you're ever taking the scenic route from Austin to Dallas, and come across this place, MAKE SURE YOU STOP BY!! It's a cute little shop run by the locals full of candy and ice cream for the kids and some fantastic sandwiches for the whole family.

This is a wonderful spot with a little bit of everything, including tons of nostalgic treats. Definitely stop in to look around.

We had an odd experience. You see, we were on a road trip and thought we would use the stop as an opportunity to throw away some cups we had in the car. There was no trash can outside, so we entered to look for one in the store. This is where things go awry.My husband goes to the deli in the back to check out the menu, throwing his cup away in the process. In the meantime, my son and I, still holding our cups, are cornered by a woman who blocks our way yelling, "No trash inside!" The confrontation leaves me feeling as if we are unruly children wanting to spray paint the place with graffiti rather than throw away a couple of empty Starbucks cups.The woman tells us to take our trash back to our car then, considering the matter closed, returns to her post at the fudge counter. We are now fully motivated to return our trash to the car except for the inconvenient fact that my husband has the car keys. My husband, completely unaware of our encounter with the angry woman, comes walking cheerfully, sans trash, around the corner. When we ask him for the keys, saying that we want to take the trash to the car, he motions back in the direction he came, stating, "But there is a trash can right over here!" When we insist on getting the keys, he looks at us like we are insane, motions again with a bit more agitation, and says, "What is the problem? Why would you want to take trash back to the car?"We are now caught between illegal trash disposal or somehow explaining our bizarre encounter with the angry woman. As I'm standing there stunned, two of the other employees come to our rescue by discreetly offering a trash receptacle behind a nearby counter.When we left, the angry woman was writing out a chalkboard sign to notify future visitors not to bring in their trash. Everyone else in the store was gracious and kind.SummaryThe sandwiches are AMAZING! Just leave your trash in the car

What a great place to eat and shop. We had the fried bologna sandwich it was really good. The little gift sections around the store are adorable and we bought a bunch of little items. The taffy is handmade there and so good!! We bought a bag of it. Also they freshly make bread and fruitcake not like the fruitcake you get from recycled gifts like the real deal and tastes so good. Wow this place is a gem and the people who work here are all really sweet and friendly I highly recommend stopping by here. Plenty of parking and seating too.

Be sure and visit the sweet lady at the fudge shop. She knows where the Horehound candy is!

This is a great place to stop on a long trip for many reasons. The staff is local and super helpful, the selection is incredible, the products and food are high quality and the pricing is reasonable. I cannot understate how delicious the habanero cheddar bison summer sausage is -- wow, that stuff just melts in your mouth! I will be back the next time I'm in this neck of the woods!

Pamela Fuerstenberg

Great food. Friendly staff. Lots of options for the sweet tooth. Plus, plenty of jams, jellies, relishes, and more. Even gift options for you or someone else you know.

Perry Moseley

Great road stop. The sandwiches and bison chili are awesome. All kinds of jams, jerky, fudge, candy.

Martha Boltz

What a fun and friendly place! Take some time to browse each room and enjoy their homemade tasty goodies, like the brittle and fudge.

How we have never run across this place is beyond me. We will be making our way back there again on our way back from Lubbock. Delicious German food, sandwiches and a great place to stop, walk and shop. So many nice treats and goodies!!! They also have a beautiful outdoor space to sit.
