Bastrop, TX
If you happen to spend a weekend in Bastrop State Park or you drive pass Bastrop, TX on your way to Austin from College Station/Houston or vice-versa, then you should definitely plan your drive such that you make it for breakfast to this beautiful country cafe: Maxine’s. 
A typical country like ambience with old, charming and lovely ladies taking your orders
is indeed a treat. Located on the Main street of the little downtown Bastrop, Maxine’s has no reason to go unnoticed as this is the only functional breakfast cafe in downtown Bastrop. The wood interior decorated with antique kitchenware, billboards, vases, pictures etc. gives a place a cozy and comfortable feeling. And this is a small country place, the cost of eating is not high either, but the taste is just 5 -star. Vikram has always ordered a marvellous egg sandwich with well done eggs served in whole wheat bread with mayo, salt and pepper. To the side we always have the maxines home fries (crisp, warm and brown). And my order has always ended up being the delicious 12″ (YES 12 “) Maxine’s Cake (a griddle pancake), which even a quarter is so filling that i have never been successful in eating even the half of 12″. Homebrewed coffee is always what you want to sip especially when served by affectionate old ladies “some more coffee for you honey?”. “Sure” is what you definitely should say.
A bill of not more than $7.5-$8 you happily round to $10. The tip is worth the serve!!
