In mid-2012, our good friend Dusty Vegas wrote a popular Austinot series that was descriptively titled “Austin Coffee Shop Hunt.” Over time, we’ve featured other delightful coffee spots including Dominican Joe, Kick Butt Coffee, Austin Java and Corona Cafe.

While I love city life, there’s something to be said for green space and the simplicity of nature. Just yesterday we wrote about Laguna Gloria, an outdoor paradise in the middle of Austin. If you drive a bit further to Stonewall, TX – a little more than an hour west of Austin – you’ll find […]
