50 Epic Texas Road Trip Travel Destinations 2025: Trey's Texas BBQ Trail Guide Around Austin and Lockhart, Texas

❎️ Full Article and Travel List at LINK in BIO☝️

I went on a five-year adventure exploring unique places to stay in Texas, and we're still traveling. Options range from luxurious high-rise suites and cozy ranch casitas to innovative container suites and even a stunning grain silo! For something even more unusual, there are futuristic pods overlooking the Texas Hill Country. You can find historic lodgings, charming 1950s trailers, and gangster-frequented suites. Some accommodations offer views of the Dallas Cowboys practice field, AT&T Stadium, or the Texas Rangers Ballpark. Don't miss one of the oldest inns in Texas, open since 1860, where travelers have parked their wagons and vehicles for over 160 years.

Hand-Crafted Heavenly Sweet Treats
The Dessert Gallery Bakery & Cafe
Houston Texas -

🎂 OMG! What a fantastic discovery of sweet deliciousness! If you live in Houston or just passing through, you need to make a visit to the Dessert Gallery. It's worth a trip from anywhere to enjoy some hand-crafted ubiquitous sweets.

👉 @dessertgallerybakery

📍 3600 Kirby Dr # D, Houston, TX 77098

📍 25 Waterway Ave Ste. A-125, The Woodlands, TX 77380

📝 https://dessertgallery.com/

🚚 ✈️ SHIPPING NATIONWIDE

📦 @goldbelly

The rest of the story:
Hey, sweet thing! Welcome to Dessert Gallery, where each treat is a work of art, created from the best ingredients possible. Everything is handmade by real people who love what they do. You can just taste it with every bite!

Most of our cakes are available by the slice every day—until they run out, that is! Come in and enjoy homemade cake with a cup of sit-and-talk coffee. Weekend or weekday, this is where calories don’t matter, and chocolate makes everything better. It’s where friendship is a delicate combination of admiration, trust, empathy, two forks, and one dessert.

Whether you’re dining in, taking out, or shipping some sweet treats across the miles, they're there for you. Stop by one of two cafes—3600 Kirby Dr. in Houston’s Upper Kirby District or 25 Waterway Ave. in The Woodlands.

Trey's Take:
It's worth a trip from anywhere to enjoy some or all of these fresh treats. We loved each one and couldn't get enough. They're a new officially APPROVED Trey's Chow Down Delicious destination for all food lovers to enjoy.
