A good Cup o' Jo!

South Austin has numerous fun eateries, coffee shops and stores.  I needed to find a great place for a long day of studying that wouldn't allow me to get too distracted, offered great coffee and a comfortable environment for 6+ hours of studying. Once Over Coffee off South 1st has amazing coffee....definition of amazing coffee: when you can drink it black!  So, so good!  A  cozy environment with good background music.  Plus, there's a cute patio off the back surrounded by big trees with lots of greenery strung with lights for the evening crowd.  Once Over Coffee perks: bring your own food (several good to-go eateries close by) as long as you buy a drink, $0.25 discount if you want to use your own mug, %10 discount for cash purchases.

Austin Terrier...a new breed of dog?

I recently moved back to Austin and am thrilled this delicious eatery is within walking distance from where I live.  I can tell I will be back.   There are so many different menu options that look amazing...even for a vegetarian.  The staff is incredibly nice and all go out of their way to strike up a conversation.  The truffle fries in the trio are amazing and the Zilker pizza had so much flav!  Best of all the patio is pet friendly!  Gizmo is going to be stoked :) It was voted recently by the Austin Chronicle as 'Austin's best kept secret!' Their story of the how the name came to be is quite funny and hilarious that numerous people wonder if there is a new breed of terrier in Austin.
