New South Central Coffee Shop: Dear Austin

Dear Austin isn't just a coffee shop – it's a love letter brewed to life. From the moment you step inside, the warm atmosphere and friendly faces welcome you like family. They have the most lovely theming as well:

“This is our love letter to you: whether you're born here, move here, or just passing through, we all share one thing in common—we cherish you dearly.”

As the sun sets, the cafe transforms into the spot for community and creativity. Live music + frozen rosé! Yes, you heard that right. Dear Austin knows the importance of unwinding after a long day, and their frozen rosé is the perfect way to beat the Texas heat and embrace the Austin spirit.

Plus, if you have kids, there is a lovely back patio with a rocket ship and a sand pit for them to play in.

𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 2310 S Lamar Blvd #102 Austin TX

𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: Smaller parking lot - like literally LOL backing out of the spaces can be a challenge towards the back of the lot

𝐖𝐢𝐟𝐢: Yes! Password Protected

𝐂𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞: Sweet lattes, tasty coffees.

𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞: A few outlets along the wall, a good amount of seating space, including a nice amount of bar/window seating! The music is vibey and not overly distracting. There is also a ton of outdoor seating and the wifi extends out there!

Because of the kids space out in the back so it is popular for families. Keep that in mind for overall activity and noise levels.

𝐕𝐢𝐛𝐞𝐬: I love the concept of this coffee shop - bringing everyone together with their love for Austin, no matter when they moved here. You can even write your own love letter and hang it on the wall! I’m so glad another coffee shop took over this space and kept the patio super cutesy!
