Equally as charming as the cupcakes is Mrs. Gatti’s bakery itself, which is located in an adorable yellow house with blooming flowerbeds and umbrella-covered tables out front.

The cattle industry is one of the most vital elements of Texas’s history, and one of the most interesting places to learn about it is at the Butler Longhorn Museum, which once served as the private residence of banker Walter Hall.

The longhorn cattle after which this place are named are iconic beasts of the Texas prairie, with huge horns projecting from their heads, and the Butler Longhorn Museum celebrates their lives in fascinating ways.

In addition to the horns, the museum boasts many other interesting exhibits. The museum regularly displays artwork from League City-area creative people, and private events are booked in the facility.

It’s Always Time for Tea at Holly Berry Tea Room

May 8, 2014 by

League City locals looking for a relaxing way to spend an afternoon are invited to visit the Holly Berry Tea Room, a charming little business that specializes in traditional English teas. The ritual of afternoon tea and sandwiches is very Continental, and Holly Berry does it to perfection.

The tea room is located in a converted house on Founders Square. There’s some interesting history behind the complex: the town took five 1920s houses from around the area, uprooted them from their foundations, and transplanted them to one block to serve as retail stores. Once you’re there, you’ll get the royal treatment of your choice of excellent teas, both caffeinated and herbal, served in fine china with light dishes alongside them. The salads here are fresh and tasty and the cheese plates are quite nice.

If you want to visit, it’s highly recommended to call ahead because Holly Berry books many days in advance.
