"Serving as the social hub in the historic town of Blanco (a city featured in the Coen Brothers’s True Grit remake), this cafe satisfies its patrons with everything from burgers on jalapeño sourdough buns to wraps filled with roasted red pepper hummus and kalamata olives. Browse through the adjacent gift shop, which sells pottery and products from the Redbud owners Jon and Jan Brieger’s family lavender farm. Grab a spot on the front porch facing the old courthouse, or find a spot inside and enjoy that lively sense of small town that can only be found in places like Blanco. Also, consider ordering online or over the phone to take some of Redbud Cafe’s cooking to go." - Deven Wilson
