Shop Local Saturday is here!!!

Hey, Lubbock! Mark your calendars for Shop Local Saturday on November 29, 2025, because it's our favorite day to show some massive love to our local entrepreneurs!

This isn't just about grabbing a gift; it's a fun and crucial way to keep the heart of the Hub City beating strong. When you step into that charming local boutique on Broadway, grab a coffee from that independent roaster, or find a treasure at a vintage store, you’re not just making a purchase—you're high-fiving a neighbor!

A huge chunk of every dollar spent locally gets reinvested right back into our community, helping to create more jobs, fund our schools and parks, and generally make Lubbock a cooler place to live. These are the folks who sponsor your kids’ soccer teams and keep our town vibrant and unique.

So, let’s skip the big-box routine for a day, enjoy the warm, personalized service, and intentionally choose to support the hard-working, passionate people who make Lubbock the wonderful place we call home! Let's make this the biggest, friendliest Shop Local Saturday yet!

Nestled in lively Mission Plaza, Apple Tree Cafe & Bakery is a beloved local eatery in Lubbock, known for its inviting atmosphere and homemade delights.

The menu tempts with classic flat-top grill burgers, fresh sandwiches, crisp salads, and hearty soups, all made from scratch.

Dessert lovers are drawn to the signature apple cake, comforting cinnamon rolls, and golden fried pies—a sweet finish for any visit.

Open Tuesday through Sunday with hours tailored for early breakfasts or leisurely brunches, the spot offers indoor dining, a cozy patio, and a drive-thru for convenience.

Located at 3501 50th St Unit 224, this family-friendly, dog-welcoming cafe remains a favorite, continuing to thrive even as other local bakeries have closed.

Apple Tree’s commitment to quality and local flavor secures its status as a cherished community mainstay.
