At the Domain. Love going with friends and getting spicy tonkatsu ramen. Have friends who are vegetarian, and there’s options for them, too!

Love going for brunch with friends, esp as there’s vegetarian options for them. Love the Counter Benedict eggs and wanna try the Crabcake Benedict next 😏
Counter Cafe
Vegetarian friend put me on. Went with my fam and agreed it was surprisingly good. I usually get the Texan Burger, and it actually tastes like it has meat! Can get a lil pricey tho, but it’s Austin tbf
A family favorite of ours. Does not skimp on the breakfast tacos and my dad loves the menudo 🤌
Macho Taco
Beautiful spot with a garden and koi pond that are perfect for photos. Drank the Hibiscus Lychee Tea, which was a little more sour than I thought but still good. Also got the Pad KaPow from Dee Dee next door which was absolutely delicious!

I especially like the one on Oltorf. Fair prices and well organized. Sometimes will have a lil doggy 🐶
Thrift Stores - Austin Pets Alive!
You def have to dig, but there’s some good stuff. Warning: cash only with little to no AC but decently cheap 🤷♀️
Thrift Land
More curated and well organized so a little pricier but does have some gems. Good for going w friendsss

Always passed by this place and never went inside until recently. Actually rly cool with secondhand home decor, fixtures, and ofc clothes. Some of the actual furniture can be a little overpriced, though.
