There are a few shops, unique restaurants and Hotel Emma. On the weekends there is a farmers market. More vendors come on Saturday. Be sure to check out Lick-a unique ice cream shop. On Sunday there was a guitar player the day we went. People bought food and were sitting at tables listening. Very family oriented on Sunday Morning. Check out the french bakery: Bakery Lorraine and Local Coffee.

Shopping

My favorite indoor mall is North Star. There is a good selection of shops and vendors in the center isle. La Cantera is unique and is walking from store to store.

Wimberley is a small quaint town. The first Saturday of each month is Market Days put on by the Lions Club. You'll meander along the paths under the shade of some trees. There's everything from antiques, crafts, clothing, garage sale items. We like to eat at Mimaw for mexican food.
