Discover > Best Of Texas > Celebrate a Sweet Veterans Day with these Veteran Owned Bakeries in Texas!
This year, Texas is all set to honor the nation’s brave hearts on Veterans Day with plenty of parades and events, all while practising safety rules that have become a standard for some time now. With so many deals and discounts offered by businesses keen to show their appreciation, Veterans Day 2021 is bound to be an exciting one.
Commemorating veterans for their service on the 11th of November is not the only way Texas expresses its support. Several non-profit organizations are dedicated to providing support for Vets who return from the battleground. One such incredible organization is the Farmer Veteran Coalition, which helps vets begin and sustain their farming journey. Read more about the Farmer Veteran Coalition here.
But farming isn’t the only profession veterans are great at. Cooking, and baking, in particular, is something that comes to many veterans naturally. They find the whole science of creating delicious foods therapeutic and something to connect over. So what better way to mark Veterans Day than to showcase these dedicated servicemen and women who continue to bring joy to our lives by the mouth-watering baked goodies they create!

In loving memory of her brother, owner Sheila Blue found her passion in helping out other veterans, and the widows and orphans left behind by their loved ones on duty. “Every Veterans Day, we reach out and thank veterans who we know for their service. I have generations of family who have served, and I understand the sacrifices made so that I have the freedoms I have and can give back in the way that I do”, says Sheila.
Victory Pie Company offers a military discount all year round and gives back a portion of all profits to organizations benefiting veterans and their families.
The menu at Victory Pie Company boasts a full breakfast and lunch lineup, a whole coffee and tea bar, including milkshakes and Italian sodas, and fresh pies ready to be eaten at their café or for pick up.
