Austin seems like the perfect city in some ways, and the only thing better would be if it were on the water. Well, it is, sort of. Lake Austin, a man-made reservoir sits just to the west of downtown, and there is a marina, a coffee bar and a couple of restaurants, including the Hula Hut, a rather bizarre Mexican/Hawaiian fusion restaurant. The sun setting over the lake makes for a lovely dinner setting.

Texas Coffee Traders on East 4th Street in Austin will fool you. It will look closed from the street even though it’s open. It will look like a warehouse when it’s really a retail store and a coffee bar. And it has some of the very best coffee in Austin, as well as every conceivable kind of coffee machine and coffee equipment.
