Helen’s Bistro and Bakery

5 star breakfast this morning!!. First time here and will definitely be back. Great breakfast sandwich and 5 stat service. So glad there here in the cozy library.

Service was great but not enough to save the lack of hygiene and poor quality in their products . No handwashing bare hand contact with all food the latte was so watered down no espresso was used only a pre made jug of coffee so not really a latte and the pastry was very dry the ratio off. They use HEB jalapeño bread for one of the sandwiches which I hear is very good but when I saw them not washing hands and bare hand contact I was not able to even give thought to ordering anything not packaged already. The pastry was very over processed so I believe done not in house overall disappointed was hoping for a great snack spot while visiting the library

Had some tasty sandwiches and a bite of pie that was fantastic.

It was my second time there my sister took me there, and yes it's definitely good and the customer service is great 😃, the girls were very generous and respectful and polite and had patience with us 😊😊,

We have been twice and both times the customer service was terrible. I just figured the first time it may have just been a bad day for the cashier. The second time was just as bad and I also overhead the conversation in front of me. The cashier was rude to the customer and gave A LOT of attitude. The elder lady was super sweet but also was being bossed around by the young lady. Was sad to watch. My coffee wasn’t the best and my sandwich was dry. Definitely wasn’t going to mention that with the attitude I received both times. Not the best experience for us so we won’t be going back.

The owner has been rude to me a time or two and I have overheard her being rude to other customers. I was very disappointed that my sandwich was made with great value bread considering the cost. None of the desserts I tried were very good.

Wonderful sandwich shop! We shared the Jalapeno Popper Sandwich and the weekly menu Brunch Burger, as well as the Italian Cream Cake. Everything was so tasty!! The icing on the cake was fantastic, the Popper sandwich was so good and cheesy, and the Brunch burger was unique and delish!!

The coffee is nothing special but the pies are good. I ordered a normal small cappuccino and I definitely more got a water downed latte so that was disappointing. However, the people who work there are kind and it's a lovely spot to sit and read.

Nice little cafe in the library. They have a good size menu and helpful staff. If you are looking for a good breakfast about town stop in the library and see what they have to offer.

Had the Jalapeño Popper Sandwich. Upon arrival it looked small, but was just the right amount of food for lunch and has amazing flavor! Great spot for a quiet lunch where you can actually have a conversation!!

For what is a small coffee everywhere else in the world these people are selling it for eight dollars and calling it a large. I ordered a Danish and coffee expecting to pay about 8 dollars but instead cost 15.

I got an ice coffee with nothing in it just black and it was 8 dollars. That is honestly insane. Even in top tier coffee shops in LA, or NYC it's very seldomly 8 dollars for an ice coffee and if it is it's a flash brew pour over made to order.It's literally 2 times or more expensive as any other cafe in town including Starbucks. It's even more expensive than getting an ice coffee at a coffee shop in a major airport where prices are known to be heavily inflated.

A nice quiet place to sit down at the library with great food and coffee. Very friendly service with both to-go and eat-in options.I've been here a few times and never been disappointed.

Awesome little bistro located in the downtown library building that started serving a brunch menu today, so we had to try a bit of everything - Mom had the OMG and I did the Farmhouse and the Bourbon Bread Pudding French Toast which was the star of the show! Definitely will be back as I really want to try the BLT Jam and the German style pancakes. They also have a large assortment of pies, cakes, muffins, cookies, smores, rice krispy treats and similar baked goods!
