We initially just wanted some dessert and drinks, but damn, the apple tart/pie was so decadent and thick. And then we kept smelling the delicious scent of spaghetti. Mind you I’m not even a huge spaghetti person but damn, it smelled so good that we ended up ordering it last minute even though we had a boat ride reservation coming up. All this to say, 10/5 memorable and tasty experience.
Quaint lil cafe with decent coffee and sweet snacks run by a super cute older couple. Great hospitality n honesty. When we accidentally over paid for our bill, we were kindly reminded to use the proper money denomination.
Nice quiet cafe to relax after walking along the lake. It wasn't busy when we came so service was quick. I liked the spaghetti and cheesecake I ordered.
Tell us what you ordered and what it cost. Two or three sentences about one dish is more useful to the next person than a star rating.
Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
