A grocery shop, a pub, a salon and a pottery studio, all in one development at 865 FM 1209 in Bastrop. It is open to the public, all of it, and a lot of people who have driven past it have never worked out whether they are allowed in. You are.
The name confusion, first. Most people call the whole place “the Boring Bodega”. The Bodega is one business inside a development called Hyperloop Plaza — boringbodega.com now redirects to hyperloopplaza.com. Four businesses share the site and each keeps its own hours, which is the part worth knowing before you drive out.
Grocery shop
A full-service grocery shop, and the anchor of the site. Snacks and everyday shopping rather than a weekly supermarket run — for that, the H-E-B is still the answer.

Pub · food and drink
The social end of the site. Beer, food, and the place people actually sit down.

Pottery painting studio
Paint-your-own pottery, and the one on this list that is a proper afternoon rather than an errand. Weekends only.

A word about the obvious. This development was built by The Boring Company, and how people in this county feel about that company and the person behind it varies about as much as it is possible to vary. Some neighbours are glad of the jobs and the investment. Others have real, specific concerns about water, traffic, permitting and how fast all of it arrived.
Both of those are honestly held, and this page is not going to try to settle it. What is on this page is what the four businesses are, who may go in, and when they are open — because that is a question people keep asking and there was no straight answer anywhere.
If you want the ongoing detail — who is out there, what has been built, what has been filed — our sister site Musk Mile covers the corridor closely, and this site's own Musk Corridor page lists every business within six miles of it with the same website scoring every other business here gets.
865 FM 1209, Bastrop. It is out past the edge of town rather than on Main Street, so it is a drive rather than a walk from downtown. Parking is on site.
Every business, description and set of hours on this page was read off Hyperloop Plaza's own live website on the day the page was built, after following the redirect from boringbodega.com. Hours change; the plaza's own site is the authority. Something wrong? wholetechtexas@gmail.com.
