It’s been here forever — tucked behind warehouses on E 5th street across from railroad tracks. Only a few minutes from my house, but it’s one exit on 35 and an unmarked street. I found it for an AustinBloggers meetup that I came late for. Patio and uncombed garden, decor is austin boho pseudo-ruin. Outdoors which looks comfy but I’m shunning the mosquitoes.
Free wifi, good coffee, and excellent vegetables with breakfast. The (only) problem with Green Muse is the extremely limited menu — their coffee cake is great but not so healthy as regular breakfast food, and the panini sandwich is… edible. Nice to have coffee, wireless, lectric, and nutrients in the same place.
Not that my opinion counts for anything, but I think Cafe Mundi is far and away the coolest coffeeshop in Austin. The workers are cool as all get-out and the clientele remind me of the people at Anarchy Coffeeshop in West Philly. I just wish there was a shop closer to me in East Austin. (Sacred Cup, RIP)
