Our Story

A Small-Town Table

The Coffee Shop is a family-owned diner on the west side of McGregor, run by husband-and-wife Donald and Valerie Citrano. It's a throwback to old-world ideals and a slower way of doing things — regulars know the servers by name, the coffee gets refilled before you ask, and Valerie's made-from-scratch pies come out of the kitchen daily.

We've been voted one of the best small-town cafes in Texas, but around here that's just Tuesday.

A Little Bit of Everything

Our weekend breakfast buffet is the talk of Central Texas, and the lunch and dinner spread isn't far behind — more meat and vegetables than you can get through in one sitting, plus a salad bar.

Familiar Faces Stop By

President George W. and Laura Bush, whose ranch is just up the road in Crawford, have long been regulars. Elon Musk's SpaceX crew tests rocket engines outside town and stops in too. Their photos hang next to everybody else's — years of regulars and road-trippers, all part of the same wall.
