    I was lucky enough to visit for my first time during their first breakfast service and it was phenomenal! The bourbon peach french toast was absolutely delicious, and would pretty much be worth the drive from Austin just for that. The service was surprisingly fast and the staff were all super helpful and friendly. Don't forget your dessert on the way out! I will definitely make it a priority to stop in here when I'm out this way again.

    I’ve eaten here twice and today took my son for breakfast. First of all, the atmosphere is unique because it’s open, yet has a cozy and welcoming feel to it. The staff is so down to earth and check to see how the meal is regardless of whether busy or not. Today I had the pecan bourbon and my son the raspberry. He was surprised at how good it was and I was again happily shocked at the flavor. The food is carefully prepared and the flavor is the perfect balance of what it’s supposed to be (not one ingredient overpowering the other). We also had Carmel fraps and again, both is appreciating the flavor. I definately recommend eating here. I didn’t get a picture of his meal because he starting eating before I had camera out. These photos are of todays and the breakfast I had prior. The presentation was prettier than the one photo shows (no fruit. And French toasts position on image, but I started to get ready to dig in moving food around in the plate, and remembered to take a photo so I could leave a review with photo :)

    This is a must see when in Brenham. From the moment you walk in the lead glass door, you're in a special place. Ellie and company buy the best quality ingredients and make everything on-site. I had the Monte sandwich, which is a turkey sandwich. I've reviewed restaurants all over the world, so it takes a lot to surprise me. This sandwich not only surprised me but was absolutely the best I've ever had . Bread is made in house and sprinkled with powdered sugar. Raspberry liquor sauce on the turkey is stunningly wonderful. Highly recommend you try it. Desert comes with the meal. I had warm pumpkin bread. Best I've ever tasted. I highly recommend you go there. It has my highest endorsement as one of the best sandwich restaurants in the country. Food made and served with love, try it!

    What a spot! My mom told me about this place knowing I'd love it, so when we were passing through town we stopped for tea & a treat before closing. It was so lovely. Ellie & Steven were very accommodating & kind to us. The tea was delightful, & so was the lemon poppy/limoncello icing muffin + the blueberry brandy cookie. Mmmm mm good. I will be back the next time I'm around ♡ thank you for the hospitality!

    Really great lattes and good food! Really liked the grilled cheese and tomato soup, the blue bayou monte (the salad that came with it was really good too), and the white wolf and butter beer lattes. The people who work there were very nice too!

    Perfect lunch spot for enjoying a GREAT cup of coffee or tea, catching up with a friend, or even getting some work done. The atmosphere is calming. The young man who was our server/barista was extremely attentive and friendly. I ordered a iced matcha latte with pineapple, he suggested oat milk- which made it so much better, I give it a 10/10! I ordered The Full Monte which was very different from any sandwich I’d ever tried, but to say it was delicious is an understatement! My sandwich was served with a delicious side salad and my meal even came with dessert- a pumpkin cream cheese muffin.. which was out of this world good! Suuuuper moist, not too sweet, & RICH with pumpkin. Overall this place exceeded my expectations, even after I had read so many other 5 star reviews prior to my visit! If you love coffee or tea, a relaxing atmosphere, and good quality, FRESH ingredients, combined in mouth watering ways.. You HAVE to try this place!!

    What a fun place!!! When you walk in, you're instantly relaxed. From the relaxing music, to the fun decor, to the warm & friendly staff, to the historic building, this place is beautiful. The staff and owner are so incredibly kind and helpful! Steven took his time helping guide us through their impressively extensive tea menu to find just the right drinks for us. Their Rueben is hands down the BEST sandwich I've ever had. Seasoned to perfection and perfectly dressed. The Monte Christo was good too, as was the grilled cheese. My kiddos ended up splitting the grilled cheese, and when they were still hungry, they brought them out another sandwich on the house. Top notch service, and a kindness you don't find much these days!!!

    Really nice experience all around. Their coffee and tea selection is huge and high quality. Food is really good too, I got the Tomato soup and grilled cheese and really liked it. The restaurant is beautiful and well worth a stop if passing through Brenham.

    Love visiting the Tilted Windmill for my favorite coffee and teas. The ambience is antique and unique, the employees are authentic and the coffee is strong and delicious. Thankful for the experience. Got to see their new sign going up and am so proud of how far they've come.

    This is the best place I have ever been, The staff is amazing, and is always willing to help you find the perfect coffee or tea! Their breakfast and lunch are amazing! I have never been disappointed by the food! Some days the food takes longer than others depending on how many people are in there but I promise you... IT IS WORTH THE WAIT! And do NOT get me started on the desserts. They are the best thing ever, they are so creative with their flavors and always have something everyone will love! My favorites: Any of the teas that come with lemonade, The Doc Holiday (Grilled Cheese and tomato soup), The Millennium Falcon (Fancy Avocado Toast), pumpkin bread, and the orange cranberry cookies!

    I went on a Thursday morning, so maybe they didn't expect to need some extra staff? There were two ladies kept very busy with all the customers. They did an awesome job for what they were working with, which I think is a very messy order and check out system. You order right at one of the doors at the same spot where the barista is commonly very busy making coffees. You don't pay till after you eat, and must come up yourself without a ticket, again to the bar but at a different spot to pay where you finally see your total. The atmosphere was nice and working towards an attempt at country adorable, but just seemed cluttered with things haphazardly placed. There was a nice amount of space between tables, and everything was clean. The place has a lot of promising atmosphere which after a year+ open they don't seem to have worked to really grow into. The food was bland. I ordered basic breakfasts, a bacon quiche and the basic French toast. The quiche was well cooked, but had nearly no flavor or cheese or bacon, and most of what I tasted was the near burnt crust. The French toast was bland also with no flavor, but it was perfectly cooked. The small hockey puck sausage was nearly exactly that. I loved the presentation of the food, and the servings were perfect sized. Both entrees came with a small side of yogurt and fruit, which I also enjoyed. The only downside to the presentation were the cute little plates and perfectly dusted French toast with a side of syrup... in to go cups with lids. I'm not a coffee drinker, but I will say their barista seemed quite competent. I ordered tea instead, which comes in a double sized mug. This was disappointing to me; it was both heavy and awkward to hold. I inquired about ordering a pot of tea instead of a heavy mug, but it seems they're not interested in that aspect of tea at all even though they have tea pots scattered around as decor... Their messy tea set-up is akin to their messy order check-out system. They have an extravagant selection of teas to choose from to order hot in a heavy mug or purchase some looseleaf to take home. To purchase the tea I was told to bring the large jar from the shelf to the counter where they would bag some up for me. Now, the tea shelf is in a semi separate country store area, which looks like it may be staffed separately on busier days, but today was only the two ladies, so i felt bad for the long amount of time the barista was handling things alone while my loose tea order was prepared by the other lady. The entire experience started with a lot of optimistic hope, but ended in awkwardness. This may be due to the messiness of their given system, the understaffed aspect, or just a bad choice of time to go. I feel that a bit more investment into their haphazard aesthetic would push them to truly shine, and look forward to seeing where they are as a restaurant when I come back in the future. I also have great hopes for the teas I purchased as the Solstice blend I had in store was lovely. I just wish it had been an easier atmosphere to truly enjoy it.
