Walton’s Fancy and Staple is a bakery/cafe with a decent variety of options to choose from as well as a quaint and welcoming interior. We went on a warm afternoon when it wasn’t too busy and looking for a quick sweet treat. Since it’s directly on 6th be mindful of parking since that may be an issue, just as a heads up.
There’s a good assortment of pastries to choose from and we settled on a chocolate birthday cake macaroon and one of their chocolate hearts. The workers seem very happy and friendly but they did take a while to work through the line and also get our stuff ready to go. Once we got our things we ended up taking it to go but ate it within a few minutes of stepping out.
The chocolate birthday cake macaroon was good, but not stellar. It does a good job as tasting as it would be advertised, but it wasn’t anything we felt you couldn’t get at another bakery. Similarly, the chocolate heart was good, but not as good as you would expect for something coming out of a place dedicated to baking. That might seem a bit harsh, but let us clarify that their baked goods are much better than store bought, just not as good as we had hoped them to be. We will definitely be back if in the area to give them another shot, hopefully for brunch so we can try out some more of their other options as well.

Great sandwiches and a cool place, but the past two times we have gone there for lunch have both taken close to an hour to get our food. Used to go here often, but won't go back due to the wait. I would give it a lower rating, but we're watching The Heat and my wife loves Sandra Bullock.

I was excited to order the Caesar wrap since I’ve heard it’s the best in town, and spent about $30 for it including delivery fees + tip.
The chicken is so chewy and dry… I had to chew each bite 100 times and after a few bites I gave up and threw it away. They need to make fresh chicken, not use old stuff… especially when they charge $18+tax for 1 wrap.

Pictures tend more bright and sterile than the real experience. To me this is a warm inviting place, laid back, counter service with table delivery. Reminds me of the small tx town restaurant of last century. Biscuits and gravy is my go to. Sandwiches are great too. Food is well prepared and sweets counter is outstanding.

Amazing! Fantastic breakfast! Great recommendation from TripAdvisor!
We hosted a baby shower at Walton’s Fancy & Staple and it was absolutely stunning! The space was gorgeous, the food was out of control delicious, and Kristin was perfection to work with—so kind, organized, and made everything seamless. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Thank you Lauren, Kristin, and your staff for always creating a great customer experience.
Besides the great tasting and decorative cakes your pastry chef has bake for us, your customer service has always been amazing.
Again, your pastry chef has knocked out of the ball park with our most recent birthday cake order.
Can’t wait to enjoy the delicious looking cake. : )
Thank you!!!

Nice healthier spot for breakfast or a nice lunch. They make decaf coffee if you need decaf. The macaroons were delicious. The granola in the bowl in the picture felt very fresh. I didn’t feel like it came out of a bag in the sprinkle. The overall restaurant was similar, best way to describe it is that it doesn’t feel like it comes out of containers and then it is put together. Easy walking to on Congress affordable. Seating is typical for 2 to 6 people

I love this place! They also sell plants and have amazing baked goods. My favorite part is the seating options: both open seating for bigger groups and more secluded seating for smaller groups/ more quiet.
