Coffee, breakfast, artwork |
916 Congress Ave Austin, TX 78701 United States +1 512 476 2489 http://www.littlecity.com |
Located right in the center of everything, this coffeehouse is a popular place to hang out inside or at an outdoor table, enjoy a cup of fresh-roasted coffee, or grab a bite to eat. A variety of blends and nearly every type of coffee drink a caffeine addict could ask for are here, along with gourmet-quality sandwiches and lunch plates, most for less than USD6. The place is decidedly laid-back and attracts quite a range from professionals to more bohemian types. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Historic building and great pastries |
1006 Congress Ave Austin, TX 78701 United States +1 512 477 5961 http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/par... |
This 1876 building was originally the Lundberg Bakery. Its confections have served many a famous visitor, including Ma Ferguson and Teddy Roosevelt. O. Henry was even known to have lunch at this bakery while working at the Old General Land Office building. Listed with the National Register of Historic Places, the bakery occupied the building until 1936. Today, it has been restored and is staffed by volunteers as a gift shop, confectionery and hospitality desk to welcome visitors to Austin. Review © 2007, Wcities |
