What would you think if you saw an unassuming frame house, in a college town like San Marcos, being painted in broad red and black stripes, with lime green trim? Frat boys run amok? Underground music? Crack house? My first thought was "OMG, their poor neighbors!" But at least they were being meticulous with their painting.
Later, when this "Wake the Dead" sign went up in the yard, I began to "wake up" to what was going on. When I finally got the nerve to cross the threshold, what did I find? Not a crack house, but a coffee house! And quite a lovely one, I must say, with local artwork adorning the walls, one of a kind sculptures around the patio, an impromptu coat hook art installation created from trash bin finds, delicious coffees and teas, and best of all? Good bagels! I've really been missing my bagels.

What a very cool development! Are the bagels homemade (i.e. boiled and all?) How did you discover this place? Hats off to the entrepreneurial spirit alive in San Marcos. ;-)
P.S. Re yesterday's post: Dam_ Straight the world needs Bassett Hounds; just like it even needs those yip-yappy, pea-brained, balls-o-fluff like my mom's toy Alaskan! Diversity Reigns Supreme!
Well, I doubt if they make them in-house, but they are much better than grocery store - probably on a par with Einsteins. We drive past it going back and forth from Wimberley to San Marcos, but didn't have the nerve to try it until Outdoor Woman Muse said she had been their with her college daughter, and that it was good!
WOW! That is a wild paint job-- Since the neighbors have to look at it, I hope they get free coffee for life!
Where in San Marcos is it, Becky?
On 12. If you're headed out of S.M., towards Wimberley, it'll be on your right. Can't miss it!
