After my second day of school last Wednesday, my friend Alex and I decided to try Blue Goat Gourmet located very close to campus in San Marcos, Texas. I live in Austin and do the commute thing to school, so I don’t know SM very well (because past years, I was never in the city except for classes). But that’s changing now that I’m an editor at the school paper (aka will have to spend a lot of time at the office) and a few really good friends of mine have just transferred to TxState/now live in SM. So yeah, I need to find all the awesome local eateries in San Marcos!
According to their website, Blue Goat Gourmet is a “European style bakery, cafe, dessert shop – featuring desserts and baked goods all made in-house.” Mmm, sounds fantastic.
Roasted Garlic and Brie Plate
I got the Roasted Garlic and Brie Plate, whole bulb of oven roasted garlic with brie and mini baguette. Dried apricots and blueberries on the side. The owner (who was super friendly by the way) said usually it’s served with grapes, but they were out of fruit when we went, which was later in the day. (Note: they have weird hours…as in close at 3pm on weekdays. My friend and I arrived at 2:30 because we just got out of class.) But the dried apricots complimented the dish quite well! Wish the olive oil came in a pretty dish rather than plastic cup, for presentation/photo purposes. Still really delicious food! I love brie! Alex liked his roasted chicken and sweet pepper french bread pizza, and we came with the intention of ordering their Dessert Splurge Trio but were way too full after our entrees. Next time, I will eat you raspberry truffle pie in the display case, next time.
*I wish I had more pictures of the exterior, everything was blue and/or goat related!
