The Taste of the South – in Bothell
Bothell, Get Ready! Your Favorite Gretchen’s Place Is Now The Texan!
The Texan – Bothell, WA
If you thought great Southern food was as rare as a snowstorm in Texas, think again—because The Texan is officially bringing the heat to Bothell!
We’ve taken over the beloved Gretchen’s Place and brought all your favorites with us: Texas-style kolaches, Dirty Sodas, and of course, that sweet, sweet tea you’ve been dreaming of. But we didn’t stop there. We’re serving up a full breakfast and lunch menu that’ll have your taste buds doing the cha-cha.
Our menu? Oh, it’s a perfect mix of family recipes passed down through the generations (think secret sauces and southern soul), plus some brand-new creations we’ve cooked up while hanging out with our family and friends.
Why should you try The Texan Cafe and Coffee Shop?
Because we bring the bold, mouthwatering flavors of Texas right to your table, served with a healthy dose of Southern hospitality! From our famous kolaches and Dirty Sodas to hearty breakfasts and lunches, every bite takes you on a delicious journey. Whether you’re a Texan at heart or just craving something new, we promise you’ll leave full and satisfied—and maybe a little nostalgic for the Lone Star State!
And let’s talk about our oven—it’s rarely cold! We bake everything from kolaches and cookies to scones, cakes, and pies in-house, which means there’s always something fresh coming out and waiting for you. While we offer classic salads and sandwiches, our daily lunch specials are full of comforting, mouthwatering dishes you won’t find anywhere else in the Pacific Northwest. Think of it like your favorite small-town café where everybody knows your name, and you always leave happy and full.
Oh, and have we mentioned our banana pudding? It’s a crowd favorite, and people just can’t get enough. Don’t worry—we won’t tell your mom if you end up liking ours more than hers!
