"Opened right before SXSW on Wednesday, March 6, this new CBD store, coffee shop, and bakery operates inside downtown music venue Flamingo Cantina. I learned the edibles, made by local catering company Keep Austin Baked using Flamingo’s own CBD-infused coconut oil, include muffins, scones, chocolate chip cookies, gingerbread lollipops, and chocolate-covered espresso bean clusters, each infused with between 10 and 25 milligrams of CBD per serving. There's also a coffee menu with drip, espresso, and iced options that can be served with optional CBD shots. Owner Angela Tharp opened the shop to provide CBD items for their health benefits; the shop also sells hemp CBD oils, salves, vapes, lip balms, and glosses, with hemp sourced from an organic farm in Colorado. The CBD used is cannabidiol without THC, so it does not produce a high." - Nadia Chaudhury
