Local art on the walls of this big, open but not too loud coffeehouse - perfect for working away from home. Funky-cool covered patio too. Bulletin board with local happenings. Has been here since the airport was at Mueller, and was right under the flight path back in the day. A classic, beloved, old Austin spot. 6 blocks from house.

I'm a Chicagoan so a tough judge - and I love this place. Specialty pizzas are tasty, and good hearty Italian sandwiches too. Nicest patio in neighborhood with full bar & a kid area which is popular with young parents. Very fun decor inside - worth even just a beer or two at the bar since such a fun scene. Newest spot in neighborhood and everyone loves it. 5 blocks from house.

Very popular breakfast/brunch place. Stand-out coffee, (Guatemalan shade-grown) offered free while you wait, which is pretty often because the place is packed on the weekends. You can check-in ahead online too. Even though it's newer than a lot of neighborhood spots & in a corporate-y building, parking is free w validation & it's the kind of decadent big breakfast that gets you through the rest of the day. 2 miles from house.

Torchy's is the local taco legend: a chef starts a food truck in Austin and it takes off like a rocket. Even though it's grown to have multiple locations across Texas, it will always be deservedly beloved by locals. Closest one (drive) is Mueller location with a full bar & outside patio.

This park is a 10 minute drive north (vs south thru downtown) but less crowded than the Barton Creek greenbelt. No pool though so if you can only take ONE hike - Barton Creek Greenbelt wins - even though more crowded.
