"It’s basically Halloween year-round at Once Over, a South Austin coffee shop that rolls out seasonal menus with fun themes. There’s black and purple decor, kooky local art lining the walls, and a back patio that overlooks what sort of feels like a small forest. In addition to standard drinks and pastries, they brew specials. Once they did WWE-inspired beverages like the Stone Cold Steve Austin and the John Cennamon, and another time they created drinks based on LGBTQ legends like RuPaul and Keith Haring. It’s a cool place to hang out or get work done." - matthew jacobs
"One of the best ways to start your morning is with breakfast tacos and coffee. And one of the best combos for the two is Once Over Coffee in Bouldin Creek, where the taco trailer El Primo is parked right outside. After you’ve fueled up on migas tacos, head inside for pretty classic coffee-shop drinks with great execution. And if the weather is nice, head to the back patio where you can grab a table overlooking the small body of water that Bouldin Creek is named after. It’s calm and peaceful, and a great place to finally finish that work you’ve been putting off." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs

"Another solid coffee shop but with an older Austin ambiance. Takeout orders can be placed online or in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
"This Bouldin Creek coffee shop is the perfect study spot for St. Edward’s students, tucked away on South First. Sit outside on the beautiful back deck overlooking a creek for a nature-filled work day at this location. Proximity to taco truck El Primo doesn’t hurt either. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Darcie Duttweiler
