You've probably never heard of the tiny Texas town of Itasca, but it's about time that changed. Home to fewer than 2,000 people, this close-knit community is home to Olde Town Country Store, a quaint and rustic general store with one of the best bakeries in Texas.

The store has only been at its current location since 2017 - prior to that, it was situated along I-35 in Grandview and known as "The Country Store." A partnership between two families has allowed the store to grow into the thriving little marketplace it is today, and you'll be charmed as soon as you step inside.

One of the store's main attractions is its full-service bakery, which churns out pies, cookies, breads, and all sorts of other sweet treats each day.

Locals can't get enough of the strawberry pie. Check out those perfectly swirled stiff peaks!

If you don't need an entire pie, the fried pies are another crowd favorite. These handheld treats are available in a variety of scrumptious flavors such as apple and pecan, and they promise love at first bite.

Various seasonal treats offer something to look forward to no matter what time of year it is.

In addition to the bakery, Olde Towne Country Store also boasts a deli with the best sandwiches you'll ever eat. Their fluffy, pillow-soft homemade bread is the secret weapon that makes for a drool-worthy mouthfeel.

Visitors can also peruse the grocery aisles to discover unique items that can't be found in big box stores.

The store does holiday gift boxes, so look no further when you need something special for the foodies in your life.

Non-food items are also available, including these adorable, milk bottle-shaped candles from Milkhouse Candle Co.
