"I noticed a new cafe in North Loop: Delicious AF (Delicious Austin Food) opened at 5003 Airport Boulevard on Saturday, November 5. It’s open for breakfast and lunch, serving coffee drinks and baked goods like muffins, cinnamon rolls, and cookies, along with breakfast sandwiches and grab-and-go salads and sandwiches such as a BLT and roast beef with havarti. For now it’s operating out of shared commercial kitchen Prep ATX while waiting for permits, and plans include featuring goods from friends met there (gluten-free bakery It’s All Good and Kimbalachai), hosting a pop-up market and an Airstream trailer for farmers market stalls, and adding outdoor seating between this location and the co-owned space next door. Co-owners Richard Olmedo (the baker behind Uncle Cake and Pie, with past experience at Shady Grove and Sweetish Hill) and Claudette Kazzoun (who worked in Houston and New York and started the catering company Bespoke Food) also plan to use the former Bun Belly space at 5001 Airport Boulevard for holiday events and then convert it into a lunch/brunch restaurant that will host supper-club dinners with guest chefs and recreate classic Austin dishes from shuttered restaurants like Mother’s Cafe, Shady Grove, and Threadgill’s. Current hours are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday." - Erin Russell
