Cherrywood Coffeehouse
1400 E 38th 1/2 StGreat food and atmosphere.
Deli style ordering with a great outdoor beer garden. The food here is delicious, but the baked goods are what we go back for as much as we can. This is my favorite spot. I recommend the Burger for lunch and any baked good.

The biscuits here are AMAZING! The place is small and always has a line, so I recommend ordering to go and having a picnic at Muller Park or just coming back to the house.

Neighborhoods
If you want a good sense of the Austin vibe, good food, and shopping, I highly recommend taking a stroll along South Congress. You will be walking outside most of the time, so go when you have good weather.

Mida kaasa pakkida
Austin is a bag-less city
Grocery stores do not give plastic bags with groceries, so take a reusable bag. I have a few in the pantry.
Ringi liikumine
RideAustin is a local non-profit alternative to Uber
They pay drivers better and you can round your trip up and donate to a local charity.
