Best Pie in Texas - Koffee Kup Hico Review

 

Texas Hill Country in the spring can be colorful

When heading to the Texas Hill Country one has to decide on a route and more importantly, a lunch stop. With countless scenic back roads to choose from, my sweet tooth often ends up guiding my decision.  Hico is one of my favorite destinations for a lunch stop, specifically the famous Koffee Kup Family Restaurant, well-known across Central Texas for its legendary pies.

I love exploring as many unfamiliar Farm-to-Market roads as possible, and there are multiple possibilities on the way to Hico. The lightly traveled routes with their twists, elevation changes, and minimal traffic enforcement make for a fun spirited ride. Hico is tucked into the northern edge of the Texas Hill Country and offers some of the best roads for motorcycle enthusiasts.

If you roll into Hico around lunch time the Koffee Kup can bustling. Locals, travelers, and even a lot of bikers often fill the place. However; waiting for a table while eyeing the legendary pie rack is worth the wait. 

The food at the Koffee Kup is consistently good, classic, home-cooked comfort meals.  I usually want to leave room for one of the many varieties of freshly made pies so I keep lunch simple.  Most often I go with a flavorful hamburger, no fries.

Fresh made pies are the highlight at the Koffee Kup

On one particular visit I found myself in front of the pie rack with least 15 pie options staring back at me, the decision wasn’t easy. Normally, I’d go for my tried-and-true coconut cream pie, but this time, something new caught my eye - the “Doctor’s Office” pie. Built on a graham cracker crust and layered with sweet cream, vanilla custard, roasted coconut, and almond slivers, it was impossible to resist.

The slice was perfectly chilled, generously sized, and every bite blended rich flavor with just the right amount of texture from the crust and toppings. By the time I finished, the Doctor’s Office pie had earned a spot alongside coconut cream as my new favorite.

If you’re ever riding within 50–75 miles of Hico, do yourself a favor and detour to the Koffee Kup. The pies are some of the best in Texas, and the ride through Central Texas FM roads makes the trip even sweeter.
