I love this place for breakfast/lunch. It is an old nunnery. It's beautiful and the vibe is still casual and comfortable with an incredible menu of prepared from scratch items. There is plenty on the menu in the $10 range and there are some pricier items as well. The service is great, too. I always feel like they treat me like a millionaire in there. Favorites are their coffee, everything on their brunch menu, and the goat cheese with piloncillo.

This is a really fun and funky spot and great for celebrations. The menu is totally unique. Favorites are the twice fried crab fat chicken wings - they have almost like a hard candy shell on them! If you have a few people, ask for one of their booths. They're really cool. They're also open late night.

Parks & Nature
For a quick morning walk, this is a beautiful spot close by. Head South from the park on the mission reach section of the river to see the confluence of two rivers - the park's namesake. Read the plaques because there design of the park and the mission reach are very interesting.

I think it's about $10 for entrance, but it would be worth spending a whole morning or afternoon here learning about texas flora.
