1950 S I H 35
Austin, TX 78704

Austin, TX 78756

Don P. writes: You're in new love. You KNOW how it is with those damn belly-butterflies. Or maybe it's just gas or hunger pangs. Hard to tell the difference sometimes.

Sometimes gas would be easier and more rewarding.

Whatever the case, Central Market has all the…

Grape Vine Market

7938 Great Northern Blvd
Austin, TX 78757

Matthew H. writes: For the most part, the employees are a rude bunch. On more than one occasion I've gotten the checkout guy who seems put out to be ringing up your drinks. But as rare as it is for me to say, they can afford to be rude, as they have one of the best…

Central Market

4477 S Lamar Blvd
Austin, TX 78745

Austin, TX 78751

J M. writes: Welcome to my new obsession.

Ste 100
Austin, TX 78702

My mom is…

Mrs Johnson's Bakery

4909 Airport Blvd
Austin, TX 78751

Manny A. writes: Some things age well and some should never be allowed to have a birthday.

Neighborhood: 78704 (South Austin)

1317 S Congress Ave
Austin, TX 78704

Tobi D. writes: I liked the selection in the store... rings, purses, coasters, cd's. The parking wasn't bad either. It was a rainy day and a holiday but we still got parking right in front of the strip center. What I didn't care for was the service.

The woman…

That Popcorn Place
Neighborhood: University of Texas

1914 Guadalupe St
Austin, TX 78705

Azul
Neighborhood: East Austin

1808 E Cesar Chavez St
Austin, TX 78702

Neighborhood: 78704 (South Austin)

1501 S 1st St
Austin, TX 78704

Flipnotics Coffeespace Cafe
Neighborhood: 78704 (South Austin)

1601 Barton Springs Rd
Austin, TX 78704

1625 Barton Springs Rd

The first time, I (thought I) was getting over…

Green Muse Cafe
Neighborhood: 78704 (South Austin)

519 W Oltorf St
Austin, TX 78704

Boog S. writes: Yeah, see this is what I need. It's a coffee shop. And when you order coffee it's good coffee. It's not just under the boiling point and in a paper cup, like at Starbucks. It's not burned beyond recognition like the over-rated Ruta Maya coffee. It's…

Dhaba Joy
Neighborhood: University of Texas

2900 Guadalupe Street
Austin, TX 78705

Ryan H. writes: Try the vegan reuben! Or Tofurkey! I'm not personally much on sweets, cupcakes, and things of that nature, HOWEVER, I do know very closely that their baker, Kathryn, puts a ton of energy and time into every single thing displayed there. She's force…

Progress Coffee

500 San Marcos St
Austin, TX 78702

Justin B. writes: I went in here last week to get some work done.

And…

Mozart's Coffee Roasters

3826 Lake Austin Blvd
Austin, TX 78703

Brian F. writes: Mozart's has great decks, great views, and pretty good coffee. I like to get the bottomless cup and then try all the different blends. Four or five cups later and I'm good to go. One of these days I'm going to try a suicide and mix all the flavors…

Lone Star Bakery

106 W Liberty St
Round Rock, TX 78664

Tobi D. writes: I'm actually not a big fan of the yellowish Round Rock donuts. I will even pass on them when they are brought into the office. I prefer the Krispy Kreme or the Shipley's. But what I want to really review is the cakes.

I have purchased a number of…

Halcyon Coffeehouse
Neighborhood: Downtown

218 W 4th St
Austin, TX 78701

jessica r. writes: I hate to judge a girl by her looks, but Halcyon - she's had so much work done she's just not the same.

on The Steps of The Driskill
Austin, TX 78701

maiko h. writes: Leave it to us slackers to be looking for breakfast at 2:35pm. We missed the cutoff at the 1886, which is 2:30pm on Sundays. D'oh. The lunch menu selections felt a little limited, with a couple of soups, meat or veggie burger, salads, and pizza…

Lovejoy's
Neighborhood: Downtown

604 Neches St
Austin, TX 78701

Steve B. writes: When I moved here from NY in 1993, my friends in NYC thought I was nuts. Not only was I NOT moving to a major coastal metro area with a significant gay community, I moving to Texas, to a state where brewpubs were ILLEGAL.

Spec's Wine, Spirits, and Finer Foods

4970 Highway 290
Austin, TX 78737

Epoch Coffee

221 W North Loop Blvd
Austin, TX 78751

Don R. writes: I'm not really a coffee house sort of person. I mean beer and bourbon take up a significant amount of my entertainment budget. I really can't go around drinking $4.00 coffee, I could get two lonestars at the Showdown for $4.00. That being said,…
