Food Scene

Locally owned, most laid back, true neighborhood hangout. Sorta like Cheers except it's open at 7:00 am. The best, sweetest vibe. There's a patio in the back and beer when you're not drinking coffee.

Family-run bakery with absolutely the BEST kolaches. Get there early, especially if you're wanting a savory kolache. The rest of their baked goods are amazing as well.

Everybody's favorite Tex-Mex in the Zilker hood. Truly a local hangout. Try the chile rellenos! Also the huevos rancheros are perfect.

A true Austin classic. 24-7. You will see Old Austin here, just updated a bit, waiters with stylish punk hair color, piercings, and a unicycle if they could manage it. They are famous for pancakes-- you gotta have 'em! And a tip--- order the fried avocado tacos. You will be very happy you did.

These guys are the best. They've been in our neighborhood for years. They have a fabulous selection of cold beer and in the mornings dish out hot breakfast tacos.

Parks & Nature

It's the Jewel of Austin. It's why some people live here. Dive into the magical waters of Barton Springs Pool and cool off enough that you won't need AC the rest of the day. 68 degrees year-round and a sacred place to Austinites.
