Upper Crust Bakery
Austin
A longtime fixture on Burnet Road, Upper Crust Bakery is the kind of neighborhood spot where the pastry case—scones, muffins, danishes, and cakes by the slice—does most of the talking, alongside a cup of coffee. Come in the morning, since they keep early bakers' hours and close by mid-afternoon.

A longtime South Austin Tex-Mex fixture on Oltorf, Curra's Grill is known for interior Mexican dishes and its avocado margarita, served in a casual, unfussy setting that draws a steady neighborhood crowd.

Azul Rooftop
Austin
Azul Rooftop is a downtown Austin perch on East 5th Street, a few steps from the Sixth Street nightlife district, where the draw is open-air seating above the city streets. Expect a casual lounge-bar atmosphere with an early-evening close, so it leans more toward sunset drinks than late-night clubbing despite its categories.
Hyde Park Bar & Grill

Amy's Ice Creams

Come hungry late, since the shop stays open until 11 PM and tends to draw a steady student crowd.
Eberly
Austin
Eberly sits along South Lamar with a few distinct spaces under one roof — a main dining room, a more relaxed cafe, and the Cedar Tavern, a bar reconstructed from the original Greenwich Village haunt once frequented by New York's mid-century writers and artists. The contrast is the draw here: order a cocktail at that transplanted wooden bar, then settle into a dinner that leans on seasonal, Texas-sourced ingredients.
Jo's Coffee – South Congress
Austin
Jo's Coffee anchors the South Congress strip with an outdoor counter and shaded patio, where you order at the window and linger over an iced turbo or a breakfast taco while the neighborhood's foot traffic rolls by. It's also home to the "i love you so much" mural scrawled on its exterior wall, which means there's usually a small line of people photographing the building before they ever order a coffee.

The South Congress location puts you in the heart of SoCo, with rotating flavors like Mexican vanilla and a chalkboard of often-quirky daily specials.
Amy's Ice Creams
Austin
Amy's Ice Creams is an Austin institution where the scoopers are as much a part of the experience as the ice cream—expect them to toss your order through the air before it lands in your cup. The West 6th Street location keeps things simple: a rotating lineup of dense, made-in-Texas ice cream and "crush'n" mix-ins worked into your scoop on a cold slab, served well into the late evening.
Cuantos Tacos
Austin
Tucked into a small space on East 12th Street, Cuantos Tacos serves Mexico City–style tacos on doubled-up corn tortillas, with suadero (slow-cooked beef) among the fillings regulars tend to order first. Come hungry but order a few at a time, since the tacos run small and you'll likely want to work your way through the menu.
Armadillo Den
Austin
Armadillo Den sits along the South Austin stretch of Menchaca Road, a corridor that's become a low-key hub for neighborhood bars with outdoor space and live music. Expect a casual, open-air feel with bar food and a sports-bar atmosphere, and note that it keeps evening-only hours, opening at 4 PM.
Blue Sushi Sake Grill
Austin

Austin
Dolce Neve makes its gelato fresh throughout the day in small batches, an Italian-style operation on South 1st Street where the flavors rotate often and lean toward the seasonal. Expect a line out the door on warm afternoons, along with espresso drinks and a few dairy-free sorbettos if you're looking for something lighter.
Habana Restaurant
Austin
Habana Restaurant brings Cuban and Caribbean cooking to a quiet stretch of South Congress, with classics like ropa vieja, roast pork, and pressed sandwiches alongside a full bar. The covered back patio is a draw in warm weather, and the kitchen leans into the bright, garlicky, citrus-forward flavors you'd expect from the cuisine.
Emmer & Rye
Austin
Tucked into the base of a Rainey Street high-rise, Emmer & Rye built its reputation on a rolling cart of seasonal small plates that changes nightly, along with house-milled heritage grains that turn up in its pastas and breads. Come hungry and a little curious — the menu rewards letting the cart guide your choices rather than planning every dish in advance.

Austin
Oz. Tap House sits in a strip-mall spot off RM 2222 in northwest Austin, pairing a rotating lineup of craft beers on tap with a casual food menu and an easygoing beer-garden feel.
