Summer Moon Coffee (South 1st)
Austin
Summer Moon Coffee on South 1st is built around its signature "Moon Milk," a sweet house blend that goes into most of their drinks, so it's worth ordering at least once to see what the fuss is about.

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.

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.
