Hayley Cakes & Cookies: Scrumptious Food Art

Written by Mandy Spivey | February 4, 2014

Everyone loves a good dessert. The buttery, chocolaty goodness that makes a warm cookie so welcoming, the first bite into a red velvet cupcake. There’s nothing like a good sugar spike to start the day, or keep it going. I don’t like to admit it very often, but when my sweet tooth strikes, sometimes a trip to the bakery is the only way to get my sugar fix.

Welcome to Hayley Cakes & Cookies, formally Rise and Shine Bakery off 2222 in front of the River Place neighborhood. Area residents have patronized the eatery for over 7 years, which closed its doors for extensive remodeling beginning Dec. 24.

The formal re-opening was January 2, and in addition to the fresh feel of the look, new owner Hayley Callaway introduced an updated menu, adding several popular sweets to those already available. Lunch at Hayley’s still consists of light sandwiches and salads. And of course, there will be cookies. Lots and lots of cookies.

Bee Cave Coffee: Serving Spicewood Roasted Cuvee Coffee and More

Written by Emily O'Shaughnessy | January 6, 2014

Bee Cave Coffee Company, now open in the Hill Country Galleria, is the perfect spot to stop when you need that caffeine pick me up. The local, freshly roasted fair trade beans make every drink on the menu delicious. However, while the drinks are great, I was thrilled to discover Bee Cave Coffee Co. serves much more than just coffee. They also offer a full breakfast and lunch menu.

For breakfast you’ll find a variety of tacos made with cage-free eggs, burritos, croissant sandwiches and more. For lunch there are salads and sandwiches including a cage free fried egg grilled cheese sandwich with jalapeno bacon. Wowzers! The food is not the typical day-old danish that you’ll find at some coffee shops. Even the pastries are delicious and fresh (I should know—I happily finished my daughter’s giant blueberry muffin for her).

Written by Cathy Hale | January 2, 2014

The Morning After. Pretty in Pink. Stars & Stripes. Smurf. You may think these are famous movie titles, but think again. If you live in the Lake Travis area, you probably know these are some of the most popular donuts in town.

Thanks to The Donut Hole, Lake Travis area residents have access to the freshest donuts in the Hill Country, not to mention the largest selection of colorful circular treats.

The Donut Hole is now located in Lakeway (2422 Ranch Road 620 S), Steiner Ranch (2900 N Quinlan Park Rd) and at the “Y” in Oak Hill (6863 Hwy 290 W), and on any given morning, there is standing room only at all three locations.
