Who We Are
Oakwood Public Market is more than a place to eat and drink—it’s a place to gather, to slow down, and to feel at home. Nestled in the heart of Dripping Springs, we bring together a craft coffee shop, pizzeria, retro soda fountain, ice cream counter, full bar, bakery, and specialty grocery under one roof.
We’re inspired by the spirit of the Hill Country—its warmth, its creativity, and its sense of community. Everything we do is rooted in intentional hospitality: making people feel seen, welcomed, and cared for in ways that linger long after they leave.
Our values aren’t just words on a wall—they’re how we show up every day:
- Service of Others: We believe the simple act of taking care of people can make a real impact.
- Positivity: We choose energy that lifts the room—optimism, kindness, and presence.
- Growth: We’re here to get better—individually and together.
- Discipline: We respect the details, the systems, and the standards that create excellence.
- Resourcefulness: We figure it out, make it work, and take pride in doing more with what we have.
