I was one of the first people to work there many years ago in High School and Sara Roberts and her family ran that place into the ground from Day one !! I still to this day was never given my last pay check.. Horrbible errors is they way they cooked their food.. Sara Roberts had no Idea of what proper service was or how to treat the people who worked for her.. She chewed people up and spit them out.. Fuck Saradora's !!

Saradora's operated for roughly 10 years. At the beginning of this time, Downtown Round Rock had many more shops and much more traffic. Also, from having worked at Saradora's for a while in high school I can say firsthand that the place was not run well or efficietly (Dara, imagine if you had worked there). I believe originally there was such potential, but having seen it's inner workings i'm surprised they didn't close sooner. Just a little FYI. I think the closing had to do w/ several factors.

I hate to see the cool stuff go, but then I admit I go to the chains sometimes too. There are so many great places in and around Austin that it's sad when they go. Dara, I agree with you about the idea of Saradora's. That's the biggest thing I'll miss. I liked my experiences there, but then coffee and cake is as far as I went. Thanks for visiting my blog.

And I'm not a big coffee drinker. I did go to Saradora's a few times, especially on First Thursday, but to be honest, I think I liked the idea of Saradora's better than I liked the actual place. One Sunday in November I was working on a graduate school paper and wanted to find a little place to work, so I went there. I ordered lunch. First thing I noticed, there were no outlets (anywhere) for my laptop. Secondly, their Wi-Fi wouldn't keep a connection. Third, the greek omlette I ordered was bland and unimpressive (and given what it was, over-priced). I ate my omlette and left, opting to try one of the two small coffee shops on Gattis School Rd. instead (one was closed on Sunday, the other was more of a crowded restaurant, so I ended up coming back home to work). I like some of the things Saradora's did throughout the years, but I have to say if my last visit was any example, I'm not surprised they closed.
