What a fun and eclectic spot in Glen Rose. I ordered off the secret menu and chose the jalapeño popper grilled cheese. My husband ordered the club. Both of us got BBQ chips. The service was friendly and the bookstore element made lunch super cozy!

This is a cute cafe. The food is yummy. We had grilled cheeses. The Southwest pasta salad was something I hadn't had before & I loved it. The workers were kind & helpful. They carry Dublin Cola, I hadn't heard of it, but it is great.
