The next time Donald Trump is in the Lone Star State, he’ll have to see if a cafe southeast of Brenham lives up to its name.

This week, the owners of the Bellville Cafe changed its name to the Trump Cafe to show their backing of the GOP presidential nominee.

Owner Eddie Hawa told KPRC/Channel 2, Houston’s NBC affiliate, that the transition has been in the works for a while.

“He loves America, and we hope he will be president,” Su Hawa told the Houston Chronicle. “People like the name; they’re supporting him.”

The eatery also changed its menu from French to American fare. They now serve everything from burgers to chicken fried steak to salads to all-day breakfast.

The Hawas said regardless of the results of the election, the Trump name will stay.
