Noted as one of texas's best cafés. They have specials (lunch) pretty much every day. Most notably is Thursday. That's turkey and dressing day. Lunch specials come with a cup of soup and a dessert. Soups change every day also. Wednesday soup is taco soup. Hands down my favorite. Thursday is cream of chicken. The chicken fried steak is outstanding. Lots of pies to choose from also. Overall an outstanding place to eat.

Disappointed Experience at the Bakery Café in Aransas Pass
Today my wife and I decided to grab lunch at the Bakery Café in Aransas Pass. She was in a bit of a time crunch, so we called in our order to go. When we arrived, we noticed the place wasn’t too busy—maybe 10 to 12 people—so we decided to sit down and eat there instead.
At the entrance, the sign said “Seat Yourself,” so we did. A waitress came by and we explained that we had ordered to go but wanted to dine in. She gave us a look and said “okay,” but as she walked away, she told another lady she wouldn’t serve us because she “wouldn’t get a tip.”
That honestly disappointed me. If she had just served us, she would’ve gotten a tip—because I always tip well when treated right. No one brought us our food; instead, the lady at the counter told us they don’t allow that because the waitresses don’t like it.
We had chosen to stay and eat there to support a local business, but the way it was handled left a bad taste. I told the lady at the counter that if the issue was about not getting a tip, that was the wrong mindset—because treating people right always comes back to you.
Moral of the story: treat people with kindness and respect, and you’ll always get what you deserve in return

The food was great! I had an omelette and it was perfectly cooked and very buttery. The service was wonderful and the vibes are very old school and quiet.

Walking in, I could feel the history! Fun vibe and we went just for the experience after it had been recommended. We ordered pie and it was fabulous.

Old time diner experience. Food portions were huge and delicious. Service was on point, I think our waitress name was Renee and we did not lack for anything during our meal. Drove from Corpus to try this place out. We will come back for sure.

It's a nice old time café. They don't serve at the counter anymore. Don't know why didn't ask. But real friendly people a lot of regulars because it seems everyone knew each other by name. And strangers Said hello to me and we talk abit. I will be going back.

A cute little small-town diner. Super big helpings of food, so come hungry. Our group got pancakes, French toast, and grits, with no complaints about any of it. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

My family, a party of 7 total, stopped in for lunch after riding the ferry over from Port Aransas. I had the homemade cheeseburger on sourdough bun and onion rings. It was one of he best burgers I’ve ordered from a restaurant in years! My husband got the lunch special which was catfish with macaroni and mixed veggies with navy beans soup and jello. It was all over the top delicious and not terribly expensive! We will definitely be going back in our way back next summer and look forward to seeing Ms. Renee again! Lovely local diner making deliciousness
