2 months agoSuch an intimate little place that always feels as if you’re coming home to mom’s or grandma’s for lunch. The waitresses have been there for years and are great at helping you decide what to get, because everything is just so good. I get something different every time I come in, but I always have to get some zucchini bread, the raspberry tea, and a slice of chocolate Kahlua bundt cake!!!

3 months agoI feel like I am giving a lot of five stars lately but this is a perfect example of a ladies' tea room. Soups, salads, sandwiches, all done well, plus zucchini bread and quiches. Old gramma's house feel with downtown area convenience, not far from Paramount. The bad news? Only open M-F 11-2.

5 months agoGot to have lunch here for the first time last week. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. And the food is top notch. I had a soup and half sandwich and still had leftovers. Price point is very reasonable for the amount of food uou receive. Cannot wait to visit again soon!

6 months agoWent today for the first time with my best friend. Just went on a whim for a quick lunch. The place is absolutely adorable! The whole atmosphere is great! Love that they kept the house aesthetic in tact. The staff are so nice. I believe Denise was our server today, sweetest lady. The food....omg!!! Sooooo good! We also got peach and raspberry tea, so refreshing so good. The prices were great too! Definitely will be going back to try something else on the menu!!! Definitely recommend!

7 months agoStopped in for lunch recently and really enjoyed the experience. The staff was friendly, and the food was amazing, all handmade by folks who clearly love food. The environment was really neat too. Setup in an old craftsman-style house, it was comfortable and inviting. The details in the decor were topped only by the attention to detail in their food. Everything was fresh, the quiche was delicious, and peach tea is probably the best peach tea I have ever had. I will definitely be back.

2 years agoFirst time here, it will not be my last! Came after lunch rush and it was peaceful, but I’m sure even with a ton of people the food/service no doubt would still be just as excellent! Words couldn’t express the attentiveness our waitress provided! (Unfortunately I cannot remember her name! Sorry!) and the front desk lady gave the most warm welcoming and cheery feel! The atmosphere was bright and airy. The decor was spectacular and gave you a farm/cottage house feel. We had the Philly cheesesteak, chicken salad sandwich, and the side fixings of pasta salad, broccoli cheddar soup, potato sticks, zucchini bread (absolutely delicious!!) , paired with their sweet iced peach tea! Please, if it’s a lovely day or even a rainy one… stop in and have brunch or lunch! You will not be disappointed!

Edited 2 years agoHickory Street Cafe is a must if you’re in Abilene, Texas. This cafe that serves up some of the best homemade zucchini bread that you’ll ever come across and can be bought in loaves to go, is only open during the week for lunch. It also serves salads, sandwiches, soups and other fresh baked goods. The children’s menu includes Mac and cheese, which was a hit with some of our group. The chicken salad and quiche were also made with fresh ingredients. I had a sandwich with a side of the cream of potato soup and fresh fruit cup topped with yogurt… delightful combination. And what’s better than a good meal served with a raspberry ice tea with free refills. It was a charming atmosphere in a historic home with very tasty food. In fact we bought a few loaves of the zucchini bread to take back home because it was that good. Tip - make reservations to make sure there’s a table available. Highly recommend!

3 years agoThis is such a great lunch spot! Went with a friend, and we both ordered the same thing. The Salad Sampler with Maple Vinaigrette. It came with their very popular chicken salad, a pasta salad with chicken, and a garden salad. It also came with 2 pieces of zucchini bread. I liked the pasta salad with chicken. It was tangy, and the chicken had good texture but not really any flavor. The chicken salad was a flavor bomb in your mouth! Wow! Awesome flavor. BUT I got WAY too many fatty, rubbery, grisly pieces to be able to thoroughly enjoy it, which was a bummer. But I did eat the pieces that I could tell would have a good texture. I ordered their vegetable of the day quiche, to go, which was a broccoli mushroom. It was delicious! I also ordered a bowl of broccoli parmesan soup to go and did not like the texture of this soup at all, but the flavor was very good! It was goopy. Reminded me of paper mache glue. The raspberry iced tea was very good. It's not too sweet, very refreshing. I will go back because it's a nice spot for lunch. But I will definitely try other things or maybe stick with the quiche!
