Mccain's Bakery Cafe - Salado

I can't say enough about how great McCains is. They have quickly become our goto for delicious breakfast, and the quality is always super consistent. Treat yourself today. You won't be disappointed.

A less than satisfactory experience. I made advance reservations for a party of 10 and another reservation for a party of 6 with the Manager, for 8:45 am, (after having difficulty with their online reservation system.The online system kept sending texts that they will try again in 15 min intervals. After 3 emails, i then called the restaurant . The Mgr said they would get the tables ready at 8:30am to be ready by 8:45am. My group showed up at 8:32 am and the front cashier knew nothing of our reservations. The Manager appeared and said that they had an issue with people seating themselves and our tables were taken! (Basically they dropped the ball and made excuses with no apologies . We are a clean christian motorcycle group that had a strict schedule and church plans out of town, which got messed up and delayed by their incompetence. We waited over 30 min for the tables, and (1 hr later still had no service. (Note when we got there, we witnessed 4-5 empty tables in the room to the right of entrance, so there was no reason they couldn't seat us. They just dont know how to manage. Once we got seated I had to ask the waitress twice for water for our table and requested a pitcher, of which was never delivered, On the 2nd request she finally brought some mini plastic cups of water for us. No pitcher (which was desperately needed to accommodate such a large party of hot bikers who had been traveling 1 hour on harleys and very thirsty! . I chose this restaurant for our breakfast event after reading great reviews. We rode long distance expecting a nice experience. The food, though good, was no better than any other cafe, the french toast was tasty, the coffee smooth, but the wait was not worth it, an omelet order was messed up, and we had to stand in line to pay out.(totally behind the times with a manual check out process . Our reservations alone brought in an average of $20 per person, totaling $320, not incl tips. Needless to say, they lost any future business from my club. The only advice i can give mgnt, is take a trip to Chess Club Cafe in Blanco, Tx watch and learn how a 5-star restaurant runs their business!

It’s a cute little place for a small business owner. However, Burger came out with a warmed-up hard bun but cold burger patty so seemed like they put in microwave as it did take a little long to get served for it not even being half full with customers. Cappuccino was more like a latte. Anyways I understand it’s hard to find good workers with small pay, (they were very friendly) Bathrooms need better cleaning

We come in at least twice a week. Couldn't imagine a better place in our small town! I dine with a gentleman with Alzheimer's and the staff are so wonderful. Patient, friendly and accommodating. It's his second home and one of the only places he's comfortable. McCains is a blessing. We love their breakfast and sometimes even return for lunch. The food the baked goods you can't go wrong. Thank you all!!

They need to have more vegan options and also drink options was very disappointed in the flavor choices of things even though I did ask the waitress and she did recommend something that tasted just as she just scribed but still not something I would jump on to go in again as a vegan , you have to take the vegetarian sandwich apart because you can't even have the mushrooms because of the oil in the same grill and the vegetables are cooked in dairy so even if I order it and try to make it dairy-free this is what it looks like on the picture which makes you not even want to eat it because the vegetables are mixed with the oil that you didn't ask for and then a lettuce and tomato is the only option because the bread even has milk and dairy products in it The Rosemary potatoes you have to be careful of because if it's on the same grill touching the dairy products you may not want to order it but the picture can tell you that this is the only options for vegetarians and sadly to make it vegan you have to take everything apart
