Good Eatz
Texas is known for Tex Mex, but these hidden gems will have you second guessing what food Texas is really known for.
Hidden in small towns this shop has two locations, located in Wimberley and Gruene, with a future location opening in Boerne. This shop is all about crepes. Savory, sweet, breakfast, you name it they got it! Also featuring coffees, snow cones, frozen...
Rocky Mountain Crepes
Located on San Marcos’ square just off the Texas State Campus Blue Dahlia Bistro is a hidden gem among the ruff. Soups, salads, toasts, eggs, they have anything for anyone all scratch and in house made. Definitely worth the pit stop.
Blue Dahlia Bistro
Also located on San Marcos’ square Gumby’s is perfect for my late night snackers or emergency midnight munchies.
Gumby's PIzza and Wings - Home of the Original Pokey Stix
Root Cellar Cafe has 2 locations, on in New Braunfels ,and one in San Marcos. Although its items are more highly priced you definitely get what you’re paying for with large portions and a delectable selection.
Root Cellar Cafe | San Marcos, TX | New Braunfels, TX
Authentic pho? In San Antonio? I know what you’re thinking. I promise this place is worth the hype.
Menu – Pho 4 Star
This cute little coffee shop is located right on Wimberley Square. Yummy pastry selections and a variety of coffee flavors this place is perfect to stop in for a quick cup and carry on your way as you sip and explore the town.
Sip! on the Square
Watch the Netflix documentary on this place before you eat here!!
Snow's BBQ
I originally found this place on tik tok and when I tell you the giant cinnamon rolls are more than worth the drive.
The Dienger Trading
Trails and Outside Activities
A favorite place among local teens who gather here every spring break and summer to chill. The lake is easy to get to with beautiful views and tons of Texas native plants and animals to see on your way up.
Overlook Park - Canyon Lake, Texas
Kind of a sneaky smoke spot now these days the Olmos damn is usually void of people. Perfect for those trying to get away from the city and have some time to them selves for a little bit.
Olmos Dam
One of my favorite trails in the New Braunfels Texas area. This place is perfect for early morning bird watching or an evening stroll.
Phil Hardberger Park Conservancy
Another sneaky smoke spot…if you can find the caves.
Facilities • Purgatory Creek Natural Area - City of San Marcos, TX
Beautiful scenery, well kept, also a few trials and the 360 view of Austin. All reasons to take a quick walk here.
Zilker Metropolitan Park | AustinTexas.gov - City of Austin
More of a local neighborhood park this location is quiet and out of the way. Perfect for a pitstop if you have small children or a furry friend.
