Food Scene

We like to walk here to work, or get BBQ from the food truck outside. Coffee's good, and we like the quiet room for getting some work done. Also they're 24 hours!

This is a favorite coffee spot, and an Austin must! We recommend a vanilla latte or cappuccino! Also, stop in early to grab a Red Rabbit Donut before they're gone! (Mexican Chocolate is the best!)

Our favorite weekend brunch spot! Large mimosas, amazing fritattas, all the tartines are awesome (the smoked trout is divine)—but most of all, try the blueberry blintzes!

You will not get a better burger, anywhere, period. In house buns, local beef, truffle fries, and great margaritas! Don't be put off by the line, they have it down to a science and it moves quick!

If Tacos are important, Breakfast Tacos are even more so, and this is the place to get 'em. The food is all local and organic, and the doña salsa will surely clear out your sinuses. We like the Otto.

Good, serious, pretentious coffee. Their coffee is not for the faint of heart, or those who like over-sugared Starbucks. But if you're looking for a damn good pourover this is your spot.

There's actually a new Juiceland right around the corner from our place, on East Cesar Chavez. It's a great place for a light lunch, fresh juice, or smoothies. Our favorite is The Hawaii Five.

A great place to stop in for a quick lunch while sightseeing. Traditional turkish kebab sandwiches (not kabobs on skewers, think more like a gyro) and awesome falafel!

The Thai food is good, but what we really love about Thai Fresh is their organic dairy-free (vegan) ice cream. It is the best dairy-free ice cream I've ever eaten.

Skip the line at Franklin's and head to Freedmen's for a much more relaxed BBQ experience. Their smoked meats are unparalleled and Harrison the bar tender makes the best Whiskey cocktails in town.

Sightseeing

If you enjoy a more laid-back bar scene than raucous 6th street, Rainey St. is the place to be, so many food trucks, restaurants, and bars to choose from, with a bit more "grown up" feel than downtown
