In downtown New Braunfels is a coffee shop and bakery that has both great coffee and bakery goods. Above are their scones, cranberry and blueberry. Scones are like a sweet drop biscuit with fruit in them. If you want a moderate sweet breakfast pastry with your coffee, scones are the way to go.
Just off the circle in New Braunfels where Landa Street runs into Seguine Ave. You can get to this quaint coffeehouse from I-35. Just take the Seguine exit and drive the full length of the street until you get to the circle. Come around three-quarters and take the side road just before San Antonio Street. If you miss it, turn right on San Antonio to get to the other entrance to the side road.
Note: always take a traffic circle from the outside lane ... so you can exit easily. If you don't believe me, use the inside lane and see what happens.
Ham on a Bagel:
Sorry, my Jewish friends, but I just love this combination. Great sandwich. Created it when I worked in Long's Bakery and Delicatessen in New Orleans when I was 16.
Sausage on a Ciabatta:
Love their homemade ciabatta rolls. And the pan sausage and egg and cheese go great on it. This sandwich is a belly full.
Bacon on a Croissant:
Another great egg combination on their homemade breads. Had to try all three breads for this post. It's a tough job.
The Wrap:
Egg wraps at the Crosswalk are a custom design. You pick out the ingredients and they make it for you. This looks like eggs, onions, and peppers. Got this one for my girlfriend Jewell.
Scramble Bowl:
This is what you think it is ... a bowl of scrambled eggs with veggies and meat covered with cheese. This dish is a rib sticker. Bread is an add-on with this dish.
Black Bean Taco:
This is a coffee house take on a traditional bean & cheese taco. Instead of refried beans, the Crosswalk uses stewed black beans. A great diversion from the Tex-Mex tradition.
The Cinnamon Roll:
This is one of their many pastries that Crosswalk offers. Nice loading of icing.
Jalapeno-Sausage Kolache:
Actual size. Looks like a miniature cab bread loaf, but its filled with sausage and jalapenos. Nice!
