Yerba at Bastrop

04/13/2026

A warm welcome to downtown Bastrop’s newest addition, Casa Pan Bakery .bakery. With her inspired blend of Mexican and French traditions, owner Judith Equihua creates baked goods that delight all the senses.

On our first visit, we sampled a crunchy co**ha, buttery croissants, and a beautifully flaky Napoleon. We returned two days later for a capirotada and a sourdough loaf that melted in our mouths.

Next door, Judith’s CAFF Coffee & Kitchen serves breakfast and lunch and shares a comfortable, shaded patio—an inviting spot to slow down and savor life’s simple pleasures.

On our morning walk downtown, we stumbled upon , where Ryan Walker and Dakota Dye () treated us to incredible Greek coffee and baklava. ☕️🇬🇷

And as always, the best meal came from home — Xavier’s legendary homemade Huevos Rancheros, cooked in our family kitchen and tempting even the hens to wander in for breakfast. 🐔🍳
