Here’s everything you need to know about Round Top, Texas! Known for its antiques fair, this small Texas town is full of charm. Travel along with me as I share what we did on our most recent trip to Round Top.
Round Top Texas – Everything You Need To Know
I’ve lived in Dallas for over 25 years, but never been to Round Top, Texas! I was so excited to get invited to attend a mastermind retreat with some fabulous business women! Most of us were in the home decor, crafts and party niches. Then there was me with my food blog.
Hosted by the talented Kim Pepper, this trip really blew my mind. I don’t know if it was getting to know and learn from other successful entrepreneurs (my love language), or the charming small Texas town? Getting to shop, eat and speak with women who own their own businesses definitely filled my cup with joy!
Thanks to these wonderful women for the AMAZING inspiration! I feel so blessed to have had this time with each and every one of them.

Take a Tour of Round Top
Watch my video below to take a tour of this lovely bed and breakfast and see exactly what we did while on our business retreat in Round Top!
Where To Eat in Round Top
We had the most incredible dinner at Bader Ranch. If you want a once in a lifetime experience, make dinner reservations. They have a pop-up restaurant open during the antique market days. I promise, you’ll be in pure heaven!
Want to save this for later?
We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!
Also eating at Royers Round Top Cafe is a must do! We got to meet Tara Royer and learned all about her pie shop Royers Pie Haven. Let me just tell you how AMAZING Tara’s pies are…. imagine heaven in your mouth. There ya go! Her pie shop is adorable too – it’s definitely a place you need to visit.
I took a whole Texas Trash pie home with me and have been eating it ever since. Best of all, if you can’t make it to Round Top, you can have the pie shipped directly to your home. YAY!
Where to Shop in Round Top
Shopping in Round Top can be overwhelming, so you need a starting place for sure! We started at The Bull Market and I could have stayed there for hours! It’s where I found these incredible cutting boards for less than $30 each. They’ll be perfect for my farmhouse kitchen!
We had fun stopping at a few open air flea markets and the beautiful french antiques at Bader Ranch.
My advice is to go to Google Maps and type Shopping Round Top, Texas to see a map of the area. You can also visit Explore Round Top for more information.
Where to Stay in Round Top
We stayed in a bed and breakfast in Burton, Texas. It’s about a 10-15 minute drive to Round Top. It was one of the most charming modern farmhouse homes I’ve ever seen! Unfortunately, it’s no longer open.
Check Airbnb and the area’s hotels for lodging. There are many adorable places to stay.
