Welfare Cafe

About Welfare Cafe

The Welfare Cafe housed in the 1880’s original general store and post office, opened November 26 in 1998 without much ado, just an open sign and a person to cook and one to serve. Special effort was made to keep the rustic charm and the integrity of Welfare’s rich historical past. A second dining room “The Hofner Room” named after the noted swing band conductor Adolph Hofner, whose house provided lumber for the project was added in 2000. The German styled bier garten was added in 2001.

The Cafes’ commitment to sustainability and healthy eating has centered the chef’s focus toward producers who are in line with that philosophy. Diners have vegetarian and gluten free options as as beef, pork and fowl. Texas beer and wine along with German varieties and others deemed just too good to pass up are served.
