Double Trouble is the newest restaurant in the North Loop area. While there aren't a lot, the older ones in the area are kinda expensive and can be pretentious. Double Trouble is none of that. The food is inexpensive, the coffee really good, and the beer and cocktails are reasonably priced. AND it's open at 7am and closes around midnight! I've be dying for a good place to grab an early breakfast. Too many places in Austin don't open until 8 or 9. Way too late!
The Food: There's vegan and omnivore options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For breakfast you have simple tacos like bacon, egg and cheese, or more complicated ones like the Tokyo Breakfast. I am obsessed with the Vegan Chilaquiles Mexicana. Holy crap this is amazing... you totally will not miss having eggs! I am pescatarian, so I am making my way around the mostly vegan part of the menu. Besides the Chilaquiles, so far I really like Mi Ranchito and Vegan Migas. My gf likes the Tokyo Breakfast the best. My fave simple taco is potato, egg and cheese. The potatoes here are my least favorite. The potatoes are diced, which I like, but lot of the times the potatoes are undercooked. Not a dealbreaker... For people on the go, they recently added grab-n-go tacos. From the lunch/dinner menu I really like the BBQ Short Rib Taco and Fried Avocado Diablo Taco.
The Coffee: These guys are the people behind Barrett's Coffee Roasters. If you love their coffee, you'll love the coffee here. The beans are roasted at the St. John's location and brewed here. I typically go for the house drip coffee which is excellent. My gf gets the decaf almond milk latte which she really likes. You can also get bags of Barrett's coffee beans to brew at home.
The Alcohol: The beer menu features all local beers. The beer menu changes constantly, so you might not find the same thing each visit. I still have to try the coffee cocktails. I have friends that love them!
Seating: There's a really big backyard with plenty of picnic table seating. Inside, the bar and window counter seating is great. The table seating is kinda weird and uncomfortable.
TLDR: This is a great local place with a friendly staff, great food and coffee, good beers and cool music.
