The Grotto

Permanently closed 3/26/22 sad to lose this little shop with a family vibe. Bandera needs to step up their coffee game for sure.

Looks closed to us. Maecenas vehicula, ligula eu pharetra malesuada, turpis dui blandit libero, ac posuere ligula dui in turpis. Suspendisse feugiat tortor metus. Nunc id dignissim libero.

Chicken fried brisket with eggs and bacon- a protein-lovers dream. Brisket was perfect. Omelette plate was also delicious and all very healthy portions. Coffees are amazing. The owner is very sweet and personable as well as hard-working. Really nice people in Bandera. Great find!

Note I don't leave 5 start reviews unless everything was perfect. My wife and I visited the cracked mug while in Bandera over the weekend. We were in to Crew for the Hoka Bandera Ultra Marathon. We visited on the morning of the race. I got the breakfast tacos and an Americano. My wife got oatmeal and a drip coffee. The Americano was par for the course, and my wife said the drip coffee was good. My breakfast tacos were good, but my wife said her oatmeal tasted like it was instant oats with cranberries and pepitas to jazz it up. Pros: Kind and courteous staff! Dog Friendly (great for people traveling with pups Coffee better than any fast food stop (starbucks, mcdonalds, dunking, etc. Cons: Indoor seating was clustered, and there wasn't good sound absorption so it was very loud inside. Oats were not very good Overall it was a decent experience, but nothing to write home about.

This one of my favorite restaurants in Bandera, fresh made to order breakfast and lunch. Relaxing atmosphere and great service.
