Banana Nut Bread:I really doubt you have ever had banana nut bread better than this.After the passing of my grandmother (Nonnie) 13 years ago, I had lost hope that I would ever find another banana nut bread that could to compare hers....until my wife and I stumbled across Lida's Bakery while passing through Stephenville in 2021.We saw the reviews online and stopped in for the pastries, but also purchased the smallest loaf of the banana nut bread due to me being more than a tad pessimistic. See every loaf of banana nut bread I had purchased in the preceeding 13 years was either dry, flavorless, hard, or some combination of the above. We journeyed on while enjoying the pastries, especially the scone. However, we held off on the banana nut bread, since it would need to be sliced.When we arrived home ,169 miles away, I began to sample this prized item as my wife asked "Is it good?". I told her "No, it is great!" Memories rushed through my mind of my grandmother and my childhood as my wife joined me of her first slice. It was at this time I fully realized my folly. I had judged Lida's Bakery by the lenses of all others who could not compare and purchased a tiny loaf that would soon be gone.Fast-forward, and it is now August of 2023 and it has been entirely too long , but I just returned home with two large loafs of this fantastic dessert. The staff was very helpful since I was running more than a little behind schedule when I arrived. Thankfully nothing has changed and it is exactly like I remembered it. The bread has a great aroma, is slightly firm with a fantastic flavor. It is moist and has just the perfect bananas/nut ratio, just like the way Nonnie made it. I will now be delivering a loaf to my Mom, Nonnies daughter for her to enjoy.Thank y'all for the delightful dessert and the hospitality. See you soon.Bart

Carrot cake was good, but I missed the decorative icing carrot on top.

Them raspberry cookies are real good! Nice little place to get pastries when in town visiting.

Great staff and wonderful selection of pastries as well as casseroles to go. My son loves the cookies and the pumpkin cakes. I also love the cranberry scones with the cream cheese in the middle.I travel a fair amount for work and I know I can count on Lida's Food Basket to have a yummy "heat and eat" meal to leave my family if I run out of time to prep - THANK YOU!

Catered a graduation party from placing order over phone as I don'tlive in Stephenville....everything was perfect and to a "T" as ordered! Thank you Lida's!
I purchased several casseroles and your beautiful lemon Bundt cake for a friend who recently had surgery. My friend says the meatloaf is great. She loves them all but says the lemon cake is the best she's ever had. Thanks for making it so easy to help a friend. I live in Garland but I will visit again when I come see my sister in Hico. Linda

Too many goodies to try all at once! We ended up with a chocolate pie. The merengue was so soft and fluffy, it takes almost like marshmallow! So good!

My parents are in their 90's and we figured they've done enough cooking for their four sons, daughters in law and grandkids -- so this past Thanksgiving we gave them a break and let Lida's do the cooking. We ordered turkey, dressing, gravy, green beans, mac and cheese, cranberry sauce, both chocolate fudge pie and pumpkin pie, etc. The price was very fair, and the food was excellent. We picked it up the day before, well packaged in aluminum foil covered tubs and plastic jugs... and already properly chilled so it could all be reheated in time for Thanksgiving lunch the next day. Unexpectedly moist white meat turkey was a big hit! There was enough for everyone to have take-home boxes, too! I highly recommend Lida's for catering.

We allowed Lida’s to cater our Thanksgiving dinner this year. They did an excellent job. The turkey was moist and delicious, and it sure was a lot easier to do it that way. It was also very reasonably priced.
