The Village Bakery and Café, now in their 16th year of business, offers a large selection of handmade European pastries and breads to complement their fresh gourmet style breakfasts, lunches and dinners. They use only the purest of ingredients and everything is made carefully by hand. The casual bistro décor gives customers the feeling of eating on a side-street cafe in a quaint European town, and because their methods of cooking and baking are inspired from French and Italian cuisine, every bite is like a passport overseas.

“I think people truly appreciate the methods we use,” said owner Phyllis Enloe. “Cost is always an issue for people, and you can make something cheaper, but you can tell the quality.”

The Village is especially popular around the holidays, when picking up a pie or cake for dessert, as well as whole casseroles, dips and breads, makes big family dinners a breeze.

Calico County
It’s hard to miss Calico County with its trademark sign: two giant Mason jars, one filled with green beans and the other one with peaches. An Amarillo favorite for decades, the home-cooked taste keeps people going back for more. You can’t beat the petite cinnamon rolls dripping in butter, the chicken and dumplings, Irish stew and the chicken pot pie. Be sure to try their excellent breakfast as well. And the best part, the entire menu is available for takeout.
