A rainy day inside Cenoté.

The coffee scene in Austin has expanded pretty rapidly over the past couple years, particularly on the south and east sides. Living in East Austin, I’m most familiar with the coffee shops over here, and since this is a guide and not a review post, I’ve listed all of them. That said, I have had good coffee at each of these, aside from the two trailers I have yet to visit!

The area covered here is located between I-35, Airport, and East Cesar Chavez. (Coincidentally, there isn’t a single Starbucks within this triangle.) Everything is listed alphabetically within three categories: Mainly Beverages, With Full Kitchens, and Small / Mobile.

The East Austin Studio Tour is happening! Well, it was this weekend, but continues next weekend. If you’re in Austin, you should definitely check it out. It’s basically an open house studio and exhibition crawl to showcase local artists’ work. (There are also various events.) With 160 stops, the map can be pretty overwhelming, but many of the locations have a handful of artists, so you can see a lot at one stop.

2013 AFBA City Guide

While I don’t usually write review posts, this is my contribution to the 2013 AFBA City Guide. If you are heading to Austin this year or live here and want to find some new places to eat, please check it out!

A year and a half ago, I moved from San Antonio to the east side of Austin. I didn’t know much about this part of town, but it was a successful Craigslist match that led me here. Since then, I’ve grown to love the area. While the USDA labels parts of it as a food desert, there sure are a lot of good restaurants over here, minus the parking meters you find on the other side of the highway.

The (brick and mortar) restaurants in this guide are east of I-35, between Cesar Chavez and 51st Street. Most are located on 6th, 7th, 11th, and Manor, west of Airport.

This past weekend I went to a potluck organized by the Austin Food Bloggers Alliance at Springdale Farm, which is literally less than two miles from where I live (and it’s gorgeous!). This wasn’t just a potluck for the heck of it; AFBA is putting together a community cookbook and this provided a chance for everyone to test and taste all of the recipes. Fun, huh?

There were also several photographers from the group taking cookbook-worthy photos of the food. The kitchen in that house was a food blogger’s dream!
