The Doves Nest

A good casual place for lunch when in Waxahachie. Limited lunch hours, so check first. Good service and sandwitches (and quiche, and soup).
As for the «antique» shop. No, it’s more of a gift shop. There are a few random old items, but most items there are new, repurposed and redesigned items. If looking for rustic décor pieces, you’ll like it.

The Doves Nest is a perfect place to have lunch with the girls & then pick up a one of a kind little gift @ the antique/​gift store.
The Chicken Salad Sandwich is sooo good… made with apricots! They also serve Quiche, Soups, different Chicken Dishes, yummy veggies & Salads & I especially like the specialty teas. They serve a variety of deserts… pies, cakes, cookies. Everything is fresh & homemade!
This is a MUST STOP while visiting Waxahachie. It’s great @ Christmas. I can always find that perfect little gift I need.

Fun, unique place to shop and dine on Waxahachie’s historic town square. Browse the items in the store for unusual gifts or a treat for yourself, then enjoy lunch in the dining area. This «nest» is known for their chicken salads, made with yummy apricots. They also offer a variety of savory quiches, delicious soups, toasty sandwiches, and their iced tea is to die for; a real treat if you like flavored tea. Many hot entrees are offered as well; the menu is always evolving & everything I’ve ever eaten there is delicious.
This is a perfect place for a ladies’ lunch, but it’s also quite a comfortable spot for a husband to dine with his wife. I’ve visited the Dove’s Nest numerous times, and always see more than one couple enjoying a meal together. The Dove’s Nest offers catering services, too; I attended a wedding reception last year & their food was just as good as it is in the restaurant.
As a former Waxahachie resident, I can honestly say that this place is a sparkling gem in this little town, and well worth the drive south for those who live north of the Trinity.
