Review of Gruene General Store by TexasRealFood
Henry Gruene established the Gruene General Store to serve the needs of the sharecroppers who lived on his land and raised cotton. The Gruene General Store was re-opened in 1989 and features an “extensive collection of Texas-made products,” from souvenirs, gifts, gourmet coffees, memorabilia, Texas music, and a soda fountain with homemade fudge, candies, sodas, ice cream and their “famous 5 cent coffee.” They have a “Limited Edition Honey Butter Spreads” come in a variety of flavors and are sure to hit the spot! The antique fixtures and wall hangings together with the wooden floor patched with license plates add to the experience. With its historic setting and ambiance of yesteryear, Gruene General Store ranks as one of the top 40 places to visit in Texas.
