Guidebook for Austin
Food Scene
One of a kind little place with amazing TexMex. Old converted house with vintage decor. A great alternative to more well-known chains around town. The Zarape Burrito is our favorite, and it can also come in a bowl.

Family owned and operated, S H Donuts (we say "shhdonuts" but you can also say the letters on their own) is a neat little hole in the wall bakery with tacos, donuts, kolaches, and other breakfast pastries. They are a staple in our neighborhood and very popular among the locals.

Opened in Spring 2018 in a renovated meat market, Hank's is one of the newest and classiest spots in our neighborhood. Stop in for happy hour, everyday 3–6:30pm. We like the Bourbon Basil Lemonade and the Charred Vegetables. They've also got a coffee shop.

Essentials
H-E-B is a Texas institution. In 2017, they became the state's largest private employer with over 100,000 employees (plus 10,000 in Mexico). They source locally whenever possible and their store brand is amazing, with over 300 Texas products.. The attached cafe is a great place for BBQ and live music.
One thing to keep in mind is that plastic bags are banned in Austin. You can purchase reusable bags during checkout, but we've also made some paper bags available for you in the trailer.
