About Café Barron's

Founded in 1972 by Jim and Julia Barron, Barron’s has been a beloved cornerstone of Longview, Texas, for nearly 50 years. What began as a modest 1,500-square-foot shop has now expanded to over ten times its original size, housing a boutique, gift shop, children's toys, and a carefully curated selection of unique goods.

In 1995, the couple extended their vision with the opening of Café Barron’s, offering casual upscale dining in a contemporary atmosphere. Today, their legacy of quality and excellence is carried on by their son, Brandon, and his wife, Lacy, who manage both the store and the full-service bar and restaurant.

Their deep-rooted passion for East Texas and small business continues to flourish, driven by a dedicated team and unwavering community support. This exceptional combination has garnered attention from major publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Southern Living, and Texas Monthly.
