Progress Coffee

Progress is still fairly new in the Austin Coffee scene but has become one of my favorite places to go and just hang out and read a book or have a nice meaningful discussion. The coffee is fair trade and actually quite good. There are also several choices for foodstuffs on a daily basis. But I’m a firm believer that a great coffee shop has to have an atmo

Hyde Park Bar and Grill

Much like the neighborhood, Hyde Park Bar and Grill is a laid back and unpretentious place. Located a few miles from downtown and the University of Texas, the location is ideal and convenient.
