Places to eat and drink 💥
If you're hungry or you're needing something good to drink, I've got the place in Austin for you to do it
Andes Mint blended coffee is my favorite! Their staff are amazing. Blended lemonade is a family favorite too. ❤️
MOJO COFFEE, Austin - Photos & Restaurant Reviews
One of our favorite "what should we have for..." places to eat. Best queso, staff and burritos! Kids love it too!
La Margarita Restaurante
We love Fairy Freeze for a NOLA style shaved ice treat! Not a heavy syrup of yuck, this is the real deal! My favorite 💗 orange dreamsickle + marshmallow cream + vanilla blue bell ✨
Fairy Freeze
One of my favorite spots to eat TexMex. Great queso and amazing service. They did a remodel and redecorate a few years ago and it's so nice now 😊
Serranos Cocina y Cantina
Places to take the kids ❤️
As I take the kids around the Austin area, I'll update this list of the places you should be taking yours! 😉
We love the neighborhood pool. It has a great pool for adults and older kids but also a small beach-like pool for the smaller kids. Check the hours before you show up, they also host a lot of great family events like swim in movies.
El Salido Pool
Top preschool in the area. Shelley is an inspiring human that leads a wonderful staff (with the lowest turnover). It's play based learning and my kids love it there! I couldn't imagine my kids going anywhere else.
Nicholson Early Childhood Education Center
This is one of our favorite places for movies. They have recliners and individual tables. The kids love the venue. And there are always fun throwback movies, parties and events too!
Flix Brewhouse Round Rock
A great INDOOR option for water time for the kids. Great options for the little and big kids.
Splash Shack

Hidden gems where you should be shopping in and around Austin 💕
My go to place for shopping. Best value and best selection to Goodwill or Salvation Army. Great selection of kids toys, clothes for everyone, shoes, home goods and knick knacks.
Savers
Meet Heartening, an Austin-based project putting unwanted clothing back into the community cheaply, efficiently, and with heart. 💛
They run a Free Clothing Stand and a $3 Clothing Warehouse filled with donated pieces that might’ve otherwise gone to...
Heartening (thrift store)
Austin Places I Want To Visit
I've had tons of friends go here and recommend it for school age, young, children. A good craft activity day, good party place. Maybe even a good activity when friends come into town. Definitely a place I want to visit with my boys.
Saplings Studio
A new kids bookstore with new and used books that's been added to our "need to visit" list. They functioned out of their garage for years and now have a new location!
