I live out of State and was trying to send a really special, unusual, and beautiful flower…read morearrangement to my son and his new fiancé to celebrate their engagement. I surfed the web, and kept coming back to the photos of Blackbird floral and their bio about being a family run company. Every time I send flowers somewhere it is really important for me to find a florist who is a true artisan and does not produce cookie cutter arrangements. Blackbird Floral did just that. The arrangement was beautiful and very well received by my son and future daughter-in-law. They sent a photo and couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous the flower arrangement was. Blackbird Floral will be my go-to when sending flowers in Austin, Texas. I ordered the arrangement late morning and they were delivered that same evening. I cannot say enough good things about this small company. It was also very difficult to choose and arrangement as their website photos captured so many beautiful options. Thank you Blackbird!! The pricing was consistent with other stand out floral shops around the country. https://www.blackbirdfloral.com/flowersandgifts/p/thenaturelover

While their earlier morning orders had encumbered their existing roses availability, Lia the co-owner of the shop with Adam (other co-owner) made some suggestions. Lea took time to hear my specific requirements and made recommendations. While ultimately I decided not to purchase a floral arrangement with Blackbird Floral today, the positive personal interaction with Lea made me want to purchase an arrangement in the future. Their prices are slightly higher than their competitors. I liked that they had some exotic flowers I do not normally see. Look forward to purchasing a Blackbird Floral arrangement in the future...

A shop full of charm!…read more Raul welcomed us in with genuine delight, offering to hold our bags up front to "free our hands" and encouraging us to touch, feel, pick up, try on, and interact with all the pieces in his shop. He spoke of his collection of artisan goods from around South America with such pride, and it showed through in the beautiful curation of the store. It was full of goods yet gave each piece the ability to shine. It was vibrant and colorful, warm and inviting. SO many brilliant gifts to be found here. Will definitely be back, if even just to say hi to Raul!

There was an incredible…read moreselection of vibrant jewelry, art, and textiles, all of it responsibly sourced with a commitment to supporting the tribes and collectives that created it. A lot of current trends have their genesis in these designs and handiwork, so make sure you're buying the authentic product, rather than a shitty knock off made in China. It's worth making the extra effort, and the prices here are very reasonable. A couple of examples: - Thick "friendship" bracelets, in a myriad of colors - Bib-style, beaded Cleopatra necklaces made from seed beads - Tribal print textiles - Wayuu bags from Columbia (You've seen these - they are the brightly-colored, patterned bags that have a bit of a bucket shape) Raul even took the time to show me how to spot a fake Wayuu bag, just in case I decided to purchase one elsewhere. Overall, an incredible store. I'm headed back to buy a bracelet for a friend who saw my Corocoro purchase on Instagram and wanted one of her own!

Of all of the top-rated Austin florists listed on Yelp, they had the best selection, and I found an arrangement that was perfect for her taste and mine. The price was very reasonable, again as compared with other top-rated Austin florists. Delivery went seamlessly, and the actual arrangement looked even better than the sample photo online. What really impressed me was that they send you a link to a site that shows you the progress of your order, including a photo of the designer, a photo of the deliveryman/woman, and a photo of your actual arrangement. I also got an email alert when it was delivered. From now on, when I send my daughter flowers, I will use Austin Flower Delivery exclusively.

I plan to stop by to visit them tomorrow and wanted to bring them flowers as a Mother's Day treat. They had an assortment of floral selections variegated carnations, roses, peonies, azaleas, to name just a few. One steam ranged from $1.25 upwards. For the quality of their flowers, that was a very good price. I will pop back by tomorrow to pick the freshest ones before my visit. My mother is no longer living. During Mother's Day I try to remember other mothers because to have your mom is such a huge blessing. The senior ladies at Atria are like an extension of my own family. When you do thoughtful for things for them, they just light up, which is heartwarming.

Over the last several months I've been decorating a shipping container and Paper Work was the first place I thought of for art.

The staff is amazing, the owner is incredible and I always find something for me or for a gift. If you live in Austin, you should come here more often. If you are visiting, this is the place to shop and buy gifts for everybody who couldn't come to Austin with you.

We were visiting my BFF in Austin, and I just knew I had to take my family here. I came with my…read moreBFF, my mom, and my aunt. They had me help them choose their drinks during this visit. Neither of them could finish their entire glass of beer, so I ended up chugging the remaining half of both of theirs. The customer service was so sweet--I was struggling to translate the menu with my mom, and the guy at the front desk was truly helpful throughout. It really raised the experience of this place during what could've been a relatively stressful situation. Dirty Horchata - I was hoping for a stronger horchata taste. It's not bad, so it was worth the shot! Just grateful it wasn't too sweet. My BFF felt the same, as we're both horchata fiends from growing up in Chicago. Cherry Cider - The cider has a tangy taste. The cherry flavor isn't as strong, but it's a fragrant drink. The flavor slowly became sweeter the more I drank it. It grew on me, but it wouldn't be my go-to unless I knew I was munching on something salty that night. Violet Blueberry Blonde - My favorite of the two. This one has a tamer flavor with a nicer floral note. It was exactly what I asked for. I felt like I could've easily chugged a few of these. The guy at the counter definitely chose a great pick. I love the low-key ambiance of this place, the peaceful nighttime atmosphere, the fact that it's wedged into a cozy nook, and how it isn't so LOUD like many bars. Didn't get bit by a mosquito while we hung out there for an hour, so that's a huge plus. They were probably chewing on my friends' legs too intently to consider me, though. Wish I had something like this near my place in Houston. I would regularly hang out here on a weekday, no cap.

Tons of outdoor and patio seating, a few tables indoors in the AC. I ordered the Flapjack, hot, with double espresso in a larger cup, with half sweetness (effectively a large with less services). Delicious saltiness and cinnamon! I really enjoyed this. I tried the honey lavender latte which they said was the least sweet of their fort favorites. The lavender flavor was very forward and there was a hint of sweetness on the back of the tongue, so very accurate. I didn't get as much coffee flavor here so maybe double espresso if that's important to you. Friends also tried the seasonal coconut macadamia latte (they said it was nice, like a sweet nutty flavor). Really solid coffee spot with great vibes, I'd come back.
