The Village Market, Carmine TX

Always good. Though I wish the person who was checking people would pay better attention as he didn't see that I put two pens down next to my drink. So I didn't get the pens. I'm not complaining about not getting the pens. Just complaining that they need to pay better attention. I know other customers can be a bit harder but that isn't everyone.

Great bakery has some of the best Kolaches and pigs (meat). The ones with meat are not called kolache; they are klobasnik

This is a nice little store, and a great addition to this town. The Weikel’s Bakery that is inside has the most delicious Kolache‘s that you will find anywhere. They are the best reason to visit the store. The young lady working at the Weikel’s bakery was wonderful, and has great personality. Lotta great selection in the store, but no one else in the store has any personality.

I've been stopping here for years. The Weikel's bakery sells kolaches and the store has beef jerky for sale as well. They also carry breakfast tacos with your choice of fixings and a generous serving but you need to get there early or they're gone. It's a nice little convenience store with a pretty good variety of homemade goods. Even if I am not in the mood for a kolache I must stop for their coffee. I love the pecan flavored brew they carry from the Independence brand. Only somewhat negative things I can comment on is the bakery clerks could use a little more personality and perhaps try to smile once in awhile. Their gas is a little overpriced at times but for a one stop shop they are definitely worth stopping at.

Update March 2022.
I am late posting this update but life has been a bit busy.
I stopped here to get my usual kolache and coffee whenever I happen to be passing through omw to Houston. The clerk was not at the cash register but behind me stocking coffee cups or something so I waited at what appeared to be an open register. Another person came up and stood at the other register about 2 minutes after me. The clerk approached and waited on the other person. No big thing but then other customers lined up and the clerk continued to wait on others and ignore me. I looked around thinking perhaps I missed a sign saying register closed but there was none. Fortunately a gentleman in the other line invited me to go before him so I was able to make my purchase without having to wait behind the 3 other people that were then lined up behind him. After leaving I was getting annoyed and a little mad at being ignored by the clerk so I called the Brenham location to inquire about the manager for the Carmine location. I was told the business had been sold and apparently it was the new owner who had been rude to me. The lady in Brenham was very nice and explained she believed there might be some cultural difference and that might possibly be why the man was waited upon first. She apologized but as I told her, I appreciated the apology but it wasn’t her fault. I will say I find it unbelievable that someone would serve a customer first based on gender. I do not know if this was the actual reason but I am at a loss as to explain why the owner would ignore someone patiently waiting to make a purchase. My family and I have been shopping here for years but we will never shop at the Carmine location again.

O my God I love this store.nice clean restroom very good customer service i always traveling with my family from Houston we always stop by they have fresh food gifts bakery my daughter always like to stop by and take a break,

Great store for a little pit stop gas station in a small country town, along your journey.
This place has everything & anything for anyone's convenience or needs, in your family. Complete with cool metal statue's out front
As well as a great tasting steakhouse to dine at if time is available to do so, behind the gas station. Believe it's called J&W steakhouse.

The new owners are the worst. They ruined a good store. The quality of product has gone way down and there prices have sky rocketed they charge $7 dollars for a pack of American cheese.

Stopped in for a break from the Hwy 290 traffic.this is a fun convenient store and gas station. Odd assortment of art and knick knacks is available alongside the usual drinks and snacks. There is also a great bakery onsite for your sweet tooth- but get there early, bakery treats go fast! Restooms are available, and a dining room, too. Overall, more than the common convenience store stop.

I am so Excited come back today with my family and buying gifts and food they have morning fresh tacos It’s so Delicious my wife buy a Sandwich it so fresh Excellent food and service I so appreciate the price are good Compared to other Convenient stores because Everything going up right now?

Stopped in for a quick pit stop and a pizza pocket and drink from the little cafe.i remember the guy at the register was really nice and friendly.i left thinking wow, what a nice guy.and that's exactly what all places should want their customers to think when leaving.good job.

Cute country place with all kinds of food, drinks, kolaches, and souvenirs or yard decor. Bathrooms are nice. Good place to take a travel break.
