South Main Street | Downtown Buda
This really cool development on South Main street has a lot of history to it. Some of the original buildings were used in the new development. The original buildings there included the big main Barn known as Big ‘Un where Valentina’s is relocation to in 2022.
The other buildings there included a brick Cotton Gin, Feed store, residential homes, office and several pole barns. The barns were salvaged for reclaimed materials and reused on the project, as they were not in good condition.
I love history but wanted to share more about some of the businesses there now.
Nate’s is a great spot for coffee, cocktails or a cold beer inside their lounge or on the large patio. They have these huge awesome fire pits to warm up around in the chilly months, or the big oak if you need a little shade in summer.
The Mercantile at Mill + Grain is a super cute little shop located in the end cap of the modern farmhouse building.
The Mercantile is by definition a general store. A highly curated, collection of home & kitchen goods, apparel, apothecary (yep awesome beard balm), & accessories. A perfect stop for gifts!
Los Olivos Market faces South Main street has an awesome selection of beer, wine and gourmet foods.
They offer Texas and Spanish inspired food items along with imported products too. Whether that be sardines, olive oil, BBQ sauce or salsa - they have it!
It’s worth a stop just to grab the short rib brisket burger though too.
Assemblage Contemporary Craftsman Gallery showcases a lot of local artists work along with around the United States. I have purchased several jewelry items there as gift that never disappoint.
“Each painting, drawing, textile, sculpture and piece of jewelry, is created as a unique, one-of-a-kind item by an artist and/or craftsman with the highest level of dedication and passion.” Locally owned and operated by native Texan and Buda resident, Jacquie Hollis Martinez.
