🤠I miss this place sm 🥲 amazing coffee and food, baristas are so cool and kind. usually someone spinning records in there 🪩🕺🏻
other fave coffee spot is Spokesman
- stiles switch for bbq - chi’lantro for korean bbq/tex-mex fusion - ramen tatsu-ya - bouldin creek cafe for thee best veggie/vegan comfort food - better half for brunch + coffee + drinks - home slice and pinthouse for pizza - patrizi’s for pasta - juiceland for smoothies
bars/clubs: - cheer up charlie’s 🌈✨ - kitty cohen’s 🌴 - barbarella 👯♀️
def go to barton springs and/or the greenbelt to enjoy the green space. zilker park may be cliché to some but I used to LOVE spending Sunday afternoons there. lots of dogs plus humans playing games, dancing, or just chilling. people-watching opportunities are 👌🏻

😃Food:
Terry Black’s (bbq)
Magnolia Cafe South (the veggie reuben slaps)
Easy Tiger (German)
Ramen Tatsu-ya
Matt’s El Rancho (best Tex Mex in ATX)
Patrizi’s (Italian, outdoor cool setup)
Juiceland (smoothies etc, classic standby)
Misc: - East side is the best IMO for cool bars and restaurants. Nickel City is one of my faves for bars. (East of I-35) - Cheer Up Charlie’s is always a good time during SXSW - If you’re looking for (often free) shows to go to, I’ve always relied on this site called showlistaustin.com — they collect allllll of the shows during SXSW so you can conveniently figure out where your faves are playing all in one place and plan your days easily.

🤝you prob know about some of these but if you don't...
snake island–you need some kind of water vehicle to get there but it's on the east side of the lake and has a rope swing and picnic table. fun to paddle board to and day drink on
casa de luz–delicious vegan place with absolutely holy vibes. go after barton for a beautiful wholesome day
city wide vintage sale–happens every couple months I have scored so many times here red bluff–take a short hike to this little set of table and chairs that overlooks the city. great date spot
hill country–get out of austin and go to krause springs, reimers park, windy point, pedernales etc. beautiful summer day activity. finish it off with jester king pizza and beer and baby goats
