One of the things that I love doing the most is taking a drive. Sometimes I feel like I can just drive and drive. It’s relaxing, it clears your mind and you get to explore the world while you’re doing it.
Last weekend, I took a drive out towards the Hill Country region. Once out of the metroplex area, you are soon surrounded by absolutely nothing and to me that is one of the most relaxing and peaceful sights.
Soon down highway 377, I found myself in the small town of Granbury. I’ve been here before but the Christmas spirit was all around this time. One of the things that I miss about Vermont is all the small coffee shops, especially in small towns. I can’t seem to find too many down here that doesn’t involve a huge chain name. Although, I don’t drink coffee, I love small coffee shops. The smell. The relaxing atmosphere. The people. So once I spotted this place, I had to go in, find a non-coffee flavored beverage and just enjoy a few moments to myself.
I found my way to Paradise Bistro & Coffee Shop.
Right in the town square, this is a quaint, relaxing coffee shop with very friendly staff. Not only do they have a coffee bar but you can also order food. If you like their Facebook page, you save 20%. Can’t beat that. I tried out a vanilla frappe. Cold and rich with vanilla flavor, can we just say Yum! It hit the spot on a sunny Saturday afternoon!
If you happen to be passing thru Granbury, whip on into the town square and head on in. Treat yourself to a beverage of choice, like them on Facebook and save a bit of money and just enjoy the day!
That’s a super cute coffee shop you found! 😀
It looks like a cozy little cafe. Nice article.
We love Granbury! It’s really changed over the last few years.
Granbury is great- i love the small town feel there. They have the best antique alley sale there twice a year. ( i blogged about it a few months ago). Yum, i want a vanilla frappe.
I’m from DFW, but my heart is in Hill Country! Love getting away to cute little places like this! I just ran across your blog and love all your Texas posts! Try coming down to Nacogdoches, oldest town in Texas and my current home. It’s so charming!

Thanks for stopping by! I’ve actually had a few people tell me I should check it out – I’ll have to keep it in mind for my next weekend drive. If you have any recommendations on what I should check out there, please email me! I’d love some local input!
