Amazing family owned South American cafe and bakery. It is about a 5 min walk away and you do have to cross one busy street and a couple rough bus stops but it is worth it!

Parks & Nature
Great place to cool off in Austin. It can get busy but there is a back entrance that only locals know about so you can skip the line. Ask your uber driver to take you to the back entrance and enjoy the 68 degree fresh springs. They don't allow food, cooler or alcohol so only bring a water bottle which you can fill with whatever you would like :)
