Nothing Bundt Cakes
Austin
Tucked into a shopping center on Bee Caves Road in the Westlake area, this Austin outpost of Nothing Bundt Cakes turns out the chain's signature bundt cakes in a range of sizes, from two-bite bundtinis to full layered cakes, each finished with the thick ribbons of cream cheese frosting the brand is known for. It's a grab-and-go spot more than a sit-down bakery, so it's worth a call ahead if you need a decorated cake for a specific date.
Better Half Coffee & Cocktails
Austin
Better Half Coffee & Cocktails plays a genuine double role: it pours espresso and breakfast tacos in the morning, then shifts into a cocktail bar as the day goes on, all from a compact spot near Clarksville just west of downtown. Order at the walk-up window and grab a seat on the patio, where the crowd tends to skew toward laptop-and-coffee regulars early and a more social cocktail set by evening.
Nido
Austin
Nido sits on a rooftop in the 04 corridor along West Riverside Drive, an easygoing spot that opens early enough to catch breakfast and stays on through dinner. Expect an American menu and the kind of open-air, elevated setting that suits South Austin's laid-back pace.
1886 Cafe & Bakery
Austin
1886 Cafe & Bakery sits inside the historic Driskill Hotel on Brazos Street in downtown Austin, where the ornate, old-Texas interior is as much a draw as the pastry case. Come for breakfast or brunch—it keeps morning-into-afternoon hours and is known for housemade baked goods and a sizable Texas sheet cake.
Nickel City
Austin
A neighborhood bar in East Austin, Nickel City leans into an unpretentious, all-day-into-late-night feel, with a long bar, a jukebox, and a mix of stiff cocktails and cold beer rather than any single house specialty. Open from noon until 2 a.m., it's the kind of spot where you can drop in for an early drink or settle in well past midnight.
Café No Sé
Austin
Tucked into the South Congress Hotel, Café No Sé pulls in the SoCo foot traffic with a bright, white-tiled room and a Mediterranean-leaning menu of pastries, egg dishes, and grain bowls. Come early if you want a table on a weekend morning—and note it's a daytime spot, closing by mid-afternoon.
La Condesa
Austin
La Condesa serves upscale interior Mexican cooking in Austin's Second Street District, with a menu that leans into regional specialties and a long list of mezcals and tequilas rather than standard Tex-Mex. The dining room is bright and modern with a lively bar scene, and it's worth noting they're dinner-only, opening at 4 PM.
Baklava House
Austin
Baklava House is a North Austin sweets spot along the busy Lamar Blvd corridor, where the draw is Mediterranean and Middle Eastern desserts—layered, syrup-soaked baklava and similar pastries—served in a casual, counter-style setting. It's an easy stop if you're exploring the area north of downtown and want something sweet alongside a coffee.
Sixty Vines Austin
Austin
Sixty Vines brings a vineyard-inspired feel to the Domain in North Austin, with a menu built around seasonal American dishes and an unusually deep wine program — much of it poured on tap rather than from the bottle. Expect an airy, greenery-filled dining room and a patio that's a comfortable spot to work through a flight before dinner.
Spokesman Coffee
Austin
Tucked into South Austin's St. Elmo district—a former warehouse stretch that's filled in with roasters, breweries, and makerspaces—Spokesman roasts its own coffee and keeps the lights on into the evening, when the counter leans toward its bar side. You'll notice the industrial bones first, all concrete and roll-up doors, and a crowd that treats it as equally good for a morning pour-over or a slow weeknight drink.
Bennu Coffee
Austin
Bennu Coffee on East MLK is one of the rare Austin cafés that never closes, which makes it a reliable refuge for late-night studiers, shift workers, and anyone who needs a quiet table and a strong cup at 3 a.m. You'll notice the easygoing, unhurried atmosphere right away—it's more neighborhood workspace than grab-and-go counter, with plenty of seating for settling in.
True Food Kitchen
Austin
True Food Kitchen sits in the Domain shopping district on Austin's north side, built around a seasonally rotating, anti-inflammatory menu where vegetable-forward bowls, wood-fired pizzas, and house-made juices share equal billing. You'll notice the bright, plant-filled dining room first, along with an open kitchen and a patio that suits the long Austin shoulder seasons.
Halcyon
Austin
Halcyon is a downtown Austin café-bar hybrid that shifts character as the day goes on, pouring coffee for the morning laptop crowd and cocktails for the late-night one. It's known for its build-your-own s'mores, served with a small tabletop flame so you can toast the marshmallows yourself.
Big Top Candy Shop
Austin
Big Top Candy Shop is a fittingly eccentric stop along South Congress, packing two floors with floor-to-ceiling candy bins, retro novelties, and a soda fountain that serves hand-scooped ice cream and old-fashioned malts. First-timers tend to notice the carnival clutter right away — vintage circus decor, oddball gag gifts, and bulk sweets ranging from nostalgic American classics to bacon-flavored curiosities.
OMG Squee
Austin
Tucked into a low-key stretch of Bolm Road in East Austin, OMG Squee turns out Asian-inspired sweets — think delicate macarons, cream puffs, and milk teas — in a small, unfussy space. Come on a Tuesday or Wednesday, since the shop keeps a limited weekly schedule and tends to draw a steady local crowd.
Le Café Crêpe
Austin
Le Café Crêpe sits along San Jacinto Boulevard in downtown Austin, an easy walk from the Convention Center and the eastern edge of the Sixth Street district. It keeps daytime hours, opening early for breakfast and closing mid-afternoon, so it's worth planning around if you're hoping to stop in.
Sapori Italian Roots
Austin
Sapori Italian Roots brings classic Italian cooking to a corner of downtown Austin's Brazos Street, just a short walk from the Capitol and the 6th Street action. Lunch service kicks in midweek while Mondays stay dinner-only, so it's worth checking the hours before you head over.
Black Sheep Lodge
Austin
Black Sheep Lodge is a casual sports bar on South Lamar where the draws are wall-to-wall TVs, a long list of wings with build-your-own sauce combinations, and a generous patio. It's an unpretentious spot to catch a game with a beer, and the late kitchen hours make it a reliable stop well past dinnertime.
The Salty Donut
Austin
The Salty Donut brings Miami's craft donut concept to South Congress, where small-batch brioche and old-fashioned donuts are made in rotating flavors throughout the day. You'll notice the rotating menu means the case looks different depending on when you arrive, and they pair the donuts with a full espresso bar if you want to linger.
sway thai
Austin
Sway brings a contemporary take on Thai cooking to the Westlake side of town, with familiar dishes like green curry and pad see ew alongside shareable plates meant for the table. The Bee Caves Road location keeps a dinner-only schedule early in the week, so it's worth checking the hours before you head over.
Tacos Las Amazonas Estilo Jalisco #3
Austin
Tucked into a strip along South Congress in the Slaughter Lane stretch of South Austin, this no-frills taquería serves Jalisco-style tacos and Mexican plates well past midnight. The early-to-1 AM hours make it a reliable stop whether you're after a breakfast taco or a late-night bite after the bars close.
Swift's Attic
Austin
Swift's Attic occupies a second-story space on Congress Avenue downtown, where the kitchen leans into a shareable, small-plates approach alongside its bar and brewpub offerings. Note the limited schedule—it's closed early in the week and opens only in the late afternoon—so it's better suited to an evening out than a midday stop.
The Grove Wine Bar & Kitchen - Westlake
Austin
The Grove sits in a Westlake shopping center but feels set apart, with a tree-shaded patio that's the draw on mild Austin days and a menu that leans into wood-fired dishes alongside a wide-ranging wine list. Expect a crowd that mixes families and after-work groups, and note that the kitchen pairs its by-the-glass pours with shareable plates rather than strict formality.
Vaqueros Cafe & Cantina
Austin
Tucked along the Capital of Texas Highway in the Westlake area southwest of downtown, Vaqueros pairs Tex-Mex and Mexican plates with a full cocktail and bar program, making it as much an after-work drinks spot as a sit-down dinner. Come hungry for the familiar tortilla-and-enchilada lineup, and know that it keeps shorter hours than some Austin spots—the kitchen winds down by 9 p.m.
