Such a great spot if you are looking for local eats. Thyme and Dough is a staple of Dripping Springs, go when you have a little bit of time they are usually busy and have so many food options things take a little bit of time. You can also call in early and do a pick up. Cinnamon rolls and coffee from here are unbelievable!
