This was actually a really cool place. Fun "gift shop" type of stuff. There's obviously a Willie Nelson resurgence, because they had a lot of stuff with his likeness. Saw a lot of him around Austin. Lots of neat "keep it weird" items. The sock wall was super neat, lot of awesome funny socks. Only draw back was the prices. Maybe I'm old school and still expect pre inflation Covid related prices. For gift shop related items tho, it was a little more than I'm willing to spend for random items. It's definitely worth a visit!!! read more

This is a great gift shop! Lots of local, eclectic items to choose from. The staff was really friendly too. I wounded up getting this great-smelling soap specifically for Leos (like I am!) and I doubt I could find something like this anywhere else. I will say many of the items here are on the higher priced side. read more

I rarely write reviews, but I was compelled to write one for Atown because I had such a great experience. I was buying Austiny gifts for 5 people and thought I would need to go to at least 2 or 3 stores because they have different interests, but amazingly I found something for everyone at Atown. They really have an incredible selection of great products. They were also very helpful and knowledgeable about pointing me to the right products for the right people. This will be my first and only stop anytime I need something Austiny or funny. read more

I love this store and it is one of my go to places to get not only Austin themed gifts, but also items locally made in Austin. If you are looking for a quirky gift, a locally made item - particularly jewelry and candles. Lots of fun gifts here for a housewarming, wedding shower, baby shower (they have a whole kids section), new job, birthday, etc. Prices are a little high for some things, but there are definitely some deals also. There is a section with $5 earrings from GemJunkie. I could spend all day looking at the selection since there are SOO many to choose from. These make great stocking stuffers or a just because kind of gift. Some nice perks about Atown: -They accept the Go Local card, which gets you 10% off your entire purchase every time. You could easily make your money back on the cost of the card, which you can also purchase at Atown. -They do complimentary gift wrapping all year round. I think they used to offer complimentary wine and cookies, but last time I was in there, I saw that they had to stop offering either one or both of those things due to some bureaucratic city BS. My only complaint, which is really isn't a big deal, is that not *everything* here is locally made or related to Austin. But I do understand that limiting inventory to only those things probably not helpful business-wise. If you are looking for a store that only sells locally made items, check out Parts & Labor. They have a much larger local artist section if you can't find what you are looking for at Atown. read more

This store is very Austin-y. You gotta have a taste for it. For being a guy myself, gladly there was a small spot for guys, but other than that, girls go for it! The store looks small on a small block along Burnet Rd. but when you walk inside you see how deep and expansive this place is! They offer all kinds of things like "boujee" things, fancy calligraphy, candles, jewelry, clothes and etc. If you ask me, my favorite thing was probably the free cookies and wine given out on a certain time of the day! Not too bad for my first time there though. Just bring a girl with you or a friend haha lol :p read more

I enjoyed the store but most of their merchandise was out of my budget. They do have some really nice things though, clothing, soaps, tons of soy candles including ones with various celebrities faces on them (2/$25), beautiful pillows also with celebrity faces on them ($35), a section of children's clothing and items that were really really cute, Texas-themed jewelry and knick knacks. They provided small glasses of Chardonnay wine which I didn't partake of and fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies which I did try and it was one of the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever eaten! My daughter told me to keep an eye out for something she could buy me as a late Mother's Day present and I spotted a real pretty lavender bracelet. I had been wearing a cheap one from Michaels for 2 or 3 years which finally broke recently so I picked out a very sturdy looking lavender beaded roll-on bracelet to replace it. I'm very happy with it. It was a fun store to look through. read more

I asked for recommendations on the next door app and was happy to see so many people recommending this place to buy a friend some welcome to Austin souvenirs since I couldn't go into the airport to get some goodies. I was able to get so many great stuff at this place!! A little on the pricier side but was happy with my purchase. read more

Best, most baller, most "Find Something For Everyone On Your List" gift shop in Austin. And that fact that it's locally owned will make you feel good about supporting your local economy (as opposed to opening your Amazon app and ordering). Like so many other reviewers have said, you might have a very difficult time with self control at Atown. You'll want to buy everything. Among the many things that they have that are fun, unique, and make exceptional gifts: - Cute, trendy, classy greeting cards that you can't find at many other places in Austin - A large selection of sizes and colors and the Blue Capri "Volcano" candle, which if you don't know, is the best smelling candle in the history of the world and makes the #1 perfect gift - Lots of fun takes on prayer candles with people like Ann Richards and Beyonce - Several lines of Texas-y and Austin-y T-shirts and a few lines of uber cute Texas-y baby onesies - Plenty of items of all types that reflect Austin culture and history They also have actual parking, which is refreshing for businesses in this area. Oh, and they'll gift wrap for free! read more

There is definitely something for everyone here. Even for those who have everything!! It's in a great location. Although parking can be limited, you can always park for free down a neighborhood street. Anytime I have friends or family visit, I take them here. It's almost impossible to leave with nothing so make sure you go with the plan to spend $$! Prices range from low to high. All my favorite earrings and coffee mugs came from Atown. read more

I didn't think this place lived up to the hype at all. No wine, no cookies. Sign outside says "wine and cookies while you shop" and all that's left is an empty table... They shouldn't advertise it if it's a "sometimes" thing. Rude staff. Not warm people. One woman even interrupted me from afar to correct me when she heard me pronounce Mueller Neighborhood as "Miller" Neighborhood (because the family it was named after does in fact, say "Miller"). I smiled and said, "I've heard it said both ways." She repeats, "it's pronounced Mueller". It was so rude and uncalled for. She was so far away from me, too!! I'm not a tourist, I live in Austin and it's very common for people to say words differently like Manchaca or Ceasar Chavez. No one comes to shop there wanting store workers opinions... Personally, I wasn't impressed with their gifts either. I think "Austin Gifts" in south Austin has way more Texas gift options with homemade options available too, and for much less money. read more

Argh! I'm headed home to visit my parents and I need Austin souvenirs! Earlier at lunch, I posed the question of where I should go to get souvenirs to my friends and one of them suggested ATown which is conveniently located near my house on Burnet. The parking is right off Burnet and it can be a bit tricky to back out of there if Burnet is super busy. Anyways, I walk in and instantly knew this was the place for me. There was so many unique gifts that were so Austin from handmade cards to the stone coasters with pictures of Franklins, South Congress, "Welcome To Austin" mural and so on. In the end, I spent a good 45 minutes in there looking through all the fantastic merchandise. The store is rather large and extends all the way to the back to house more clothing items and ridiculously hilarious t-shirts that I've got to get next time I'm there. Finally they are part of the GoLocal and you'll receive a discount if you subscribe to that yearly membership. I walked away with some Austin coasters and other small trinkets I'm sure my folks will be pleased with and all of it was wrapped in a gift bag for free! PS - try the free cookies, they were warm and excellent, just like the store read more

WOW! I'd been jonesing to come here for months after following them on Facebook and seeing them post all these things I NEED. Yes, NEED. A shirt that reads "Breakfast Tacos, All Day, Erreday" = air + water. Necessities y'all. This place is huge and is the most perfect store for unique clothing and Austin gifts, ever. Dare I say it's an Austin/Texas gift mecca. Something for everyone, jewelry, baby items, cutting boards, funny shirts and my favorite LOCAL WARES by local artisans and companies! I bought the most epic Austin Christmas gift EVER for my husband. This is a place where you can gift like a hero. I could have spent a fortune. I touched everything. Go and find a treasure for yourself and someone you love, or hell, even like, today! read more

Atown is a very "Austin" store. It basically sells very odd and cute items. It's main target market is women, but there is a small men's corner inside. The store looks tiny from the outside. Like really small. Once you walk around, you realize it's actually fairly large. It's very deceiving from the outside. Near the register you'll find a small table that has free cookies and wine (oh man they are on top of things) to welcome you. There's a large variety of items inside, but they're basically all either cute or unique. It's pretty difficult to describe what exactly they sell, but some examples are dinosaur succulents, vulgar nameplates, Samuel L. Jackson pillows, cute kitchenware, scented candles, shirts, and much more. If you ever need a gift for someone (more so for a girl), you can probably find something here that they would like. A gift for yourself can't hurt either! read more

Be sure that you're not in a hurry when you stop in here!!! My friend and I planned to take a quick 15 minutes to check this store out last Saturday and ended up browsing for an hour and spending $80. Oops. :) Awesome selection of many different styles of jewelry from local artists, cute novelty items, a million candles, cute baby clothes, adorable dog leashes and collars, cards... oh, I could go on and on. Stop in and see for yourself! Especially if you need a gift for someone. Is it Christmas shopping time yet?? read more

Okay let's just all agree that this store is the most extensive gift/trinket/fun things store we've ever been to. Well, for me at least that was the case! We drove past the place and I figured it'd be a cute spot to kill time at. Would recommend to locals and tourists alike! It has a very welcoming and fun vibe where there is something for everyone. My dad usually hates these types of stores, and even he loved it! Whether you're looking for a new unique tshirt, some art, clothing, birthday cards, or trinkets. I love the amount of local art they have-- making some of the gifts one of a kind. Also very reasonably priced considering many of the items are uniquely made by local artisans! All the employees were also super nice and willing to help us find what we needed. They weren't overly pushy or helpful, so it was a great balance that added to the comfortable atmosphere! read more

I don't know how I've lived in Austin this long and passed by this place so often and yet never gone in. This is seriously a true gem of a store in town - I don't think there is anything else like it. They advertised cookies and wine while you shop, which I didn't see or get offered, so that would be my only knock on the place. They have so many different areas in the store (it's bigger than it looks from the outside!) that are packed with unique items that are perfect for you or as gifts. The staff was friendly, but equally gave you the time and space to explore all that the store has to offer (which was much appreciated). Be sure to continue to shop local and give yourself a fair bit of time to comb through everything Atown has to offer - I think it would be tough to leave there empty handed. read more

This place is so cool. Lots of unique and eclectic items. Represents Austin style to the max. Love the selection of candles,jewelry and t-shirts. Especially like the selection of unique socks. Looking for a great unique gift this place has it. read more

The store itself is absolutely incredible, there is quite literally something for every single person here. I was genuinely in awe of everything and probably looked like I was walking around like a lost puppy, and a sweet woman named Brenda offered to help me with the gift items I was looking for. Within 5 minutes she somehow picked the most perfect pieces for what I needed. She was so helpful and so kind! I will absolutely be back for any and all gift needs for myself and others! read more

This is absolutely my favorite shop in Austin. I'm a displaced Austinite and I always look for neat Austin stuff to take back with me while visiting. I love stickers and patches and unique art. This place has all of those things in spades. The vibe, organization, and feel of this place is super great. The people here were very nice. They had everything I was looking for and all the stuff I didn't know I was looking for. About the only thing I could possibly critique is that the shirts don't come in my size. (But that's the case with just about everywhere. Two foot wide shoulders will do that.) I'd also like to see a website so I can get cool Austin stuff when I'm not visiting home. Thanks for making my trip home complete folks! read more

A*Town: Great gift shop in central Austin. I love this place! It is my go-to for gifts. Very Austin-y jewelery, clothing, knick-knacks etc. They have an excellent sale room in the back, and they usually have refreshments near the counter (including WARM cookies mimosas, water, etc.). Most of their items are made locally by artists, and there is a wide variety of styles. I think that some items are overprices, especially most of their clothing in the front room. Also, I am very bothered how they have the sales associates following around the customers (especially in the back of the store and the corners). Now, I understand that they need to watch for shoplifting, but it bothers me when I want to browse and take my time, and I see the same woman following me around. Also, no mirrors in the fitting rooms in the back?! Ain't no body got time for that! read more

The girl working in the front of the store was very friendly and inviting. She welcomed us and offered complimentary cookies and white wine. There is an incredible collection of knick knacks, jewelry, clothes, and many locally made items. There's a section of HILARIOUS greeting cards that had me almost in tears. The prices are fair for the quality product you are getting. I'm glad I found this place, and I'll definitely be back. read more

I went into A Town looking for a cool t-shirt. Brenda stopped what she was doing and helped me find exactly the right size. She was SUPER friendly, professional, and was a model for customer service (which seems a bit rare these days). If you need something Austin or weird, this is a great local place to shop. read more

Certainly priced for the destination location Austin already is. Be prepared. Californians will think it's cheap, Texans may scoff at some of the prices. They certainly get it the Austin attractions right. Don't miss the Tim Doyle poster prints in the back towards the men's fashion. read more

Atown - Accessories Near Me - Austin, Texas

ATowwwwnn! If I can sum up ATown in 3 words I would say: Overpriced, unique, and eclectic! Pros: - Unique Austin novelty gifts - Awesome socks for men and women - Pretty extensive baby section for clothes/gifts - Chocolate chip cookies and wine available for customers - Great Men's section that has a variety of funky gift options such as a survival kit or a flask that looks like a camera - There is something here for everyone, no matter the age - Tons of unique jewelry Cons: - Overpriced - Parking sucks Overall, I would recommend this shop! It's so cute and I promise you will find something you either don't need or that will make a good gift! :) read more

The ladies at the shop was very nice. The store amazed me of how big the size is of the whole store. I love all the hand made items and recycled items in the store like a recycled bag made from bottles or those rubber coasters. My family and I enjoyed ourselves read more

It is with a heavy heart that I write this review. A town has been for a long time one of my favorite local stores in Austin for giftgiving. Because of a rash of shoplifting, they are demanding to have all purses placed at the front counter regardless of their size. Since I was not comfortable leaving my purse with strangers and on top of a counter for anyone to take, I was asked to leave the store. Such a shame! They must find a better way to combat shoplifters without upsetting loyal current customers. read more

I'm not a big shopper being a 55-year-old male. But this is one of the funnest stores I have been in in memory. Something for everyone.

I just love the Central Texas essence of merchandise Atown offers and that it is a locally owned store. The music that they play reminds me of when I first moved to Austin circa 1983 and everything was fresh, fun and indescribably Austin. read more

I dropped by today to find a birthday gift for a friend. Atown is deceivingly small from the outside, but once you're inside it's so big! Definitely take the time to go through all that they have to offer: - KNICKKNACKS - bomb smelling candles - dainty jewelry - hipster jewelry - really expensive pin of a weiner dog with wings - other cheaper pin options - dinosaur planters - pillows of Nicholas Cage looking magnificent - cute kitchen utensils that you question the functionality of - commonly mistaken lyrics coasters - nail polish - fragrances, lotions, creams - Austin T-shirts, coasters, and souvenirs - complimentary cookies and wine while you shop (while it lasts!) Don't go if you are an impulsive buyer. They also can gift wrap for free! (a bag with tissue paper and ribbons lol) read more

Working retail during the holiday is tough, I get it. I've worked in retail for over 15 years. I got to the store tonight 20 mins before close. 10 minutes later an associate came by and said that they were closing and asked if they could help me with anything. It wasn't even 8 O'clock and another woman came by and said that they were closed and I could either purchase the items right then or leave them behind and come back another time. Although she was nice, this is an incredibly rude way to handle business. I had over $75 in merchandise, it wasn't even 8:00, and I'm being rushed out. It's not like I was still browsing, I had intent to buy, and a measly 5 minutes would have been sufficient. I kindly went to the register to purchase my items, but really didn't want to. Like literally any other retailer, DO NOT KICK YOUR CUSTOMERS OUT. It's a terrible customer experience, I wasn't planning on being there more than 5 more minutes, and as someone who drives from south Austin to shop here, I don't plan on doing it again in the future. Dude, I thought this was Austin. Where's the chill? read more

Great selection for gifts! Great options for kids, teens, and adults! Wonderful clearance clothes section in the back! Over all kind of over priced for the quality of clothes but it's still super cute! Poor selection for women size 10+ or L/XL :( Sad to see cute clothes and they not carry enough sizes. read more

Atown - Great sunnies! - Accessories Near Me - Austin, Texas

Love love love this shop and all the local artist products. I shop here all the time for great gifts. However I was a bit disappointed today when in an attempt to return something. They have a very strict and short window for return policy of 14 days. I happened to come in on the 15th day in hopes to atleast exchange for another product and they were not willing to budge with any negotiation. I mean I completely understand policies as I have worked retail in the past but come on, maybe a 10% discount on a new purchase I made would have been a nice gesture! Unfortunately the items I returned were for a very specific occasion that had passed too so cant even use them.....Sigh read more

I was making a gift package for a friend in Chicago and was looking for some Austin unique items to fill it with. I was able to find some really unique gifts that really suited my friend and I also ended up buying some humorous socks for myself. They have t-shirts, local artisan products, cook books, kitchen items, socks, art, sunglasses, beauty products, candles, etc. The staff was very friendly and they also accept go local cards. Mine expired in December and I didn't realize it but, you can purchase a new one here. The only thing that was kind of a pain is parking in their front spots and trying to back out onto Burnet during construction/lunch time. read more

I am writing this review with a heavy heart and complete dissatisfaction of Atown's customer service. A few days ago, my husband and I had family friends visiting from out of town. As I have customarily done when family and friends have previously visited, we took this group of 4 senior citizens to Atown to support a local business and shop for Austin memorabilia. Shortly after we arrived, the group dispersed and my husband and I were repeatedly followed by one of Atown's employees. Initially, I thought I may have been overreacting; however, it was soon apparent that that was not the case. I was followed from room-to-room, watched closely, and observed like I was a criminal on the prowl. I was never once asked if I need assistance or if I had questions about the merchandise. The female employee pretended to fold clothes and rearrange goods while peering at my every move. As the only people of color in that store at the time, I could not help to feel that this was a racially motivated act on the employee's part and bias was cast down based on the color of our skin. I was absolutely disgusted; I had to intentionally remove myself from the store while my family friends continued to shop. I did not want to ruin their experience in the store nor did I want to sour their perception of Austin, so I kept this experience to myself until now. My family friends purchased many items from the store that day and even were given free stickers, but that is no consolation for how I was profiled. For the record, I am a working professional in the Austin area, and I have never had a criminal record. I resent that I was treated unfairly and judged for a person who would be capable of stealing based off preconceived notions. I encourage management to re-evaluate their policies and educate themselves on anti-discrimination practices. read more

This is such a cool store! You can truly find anything and everything, and will now be my go to store when looking for gifts for friends and family! From the outside I didn't realize how big the store is, but it's huge. They offer some really unique stuff, a lot of local artists have products, and I thought it was priced very well. I got out of there with a few little things for a friend of mine for $25 and I know she's going to love what I got her. They have gag gifts, clothes, wall art, kitchen supplies, jewelry, a massive wall of socks, kids toys, these awesome candles, bridal products, home decor, and everything in between. They gift wrap FO FREE and even wrapped up my stuff with tissue paper and ribbon after I told them I was going to ship it and therefore couldn't but it in a gift bag. Even if your on a tight budget there are some little gems in there that could fit your budget (like I got a $3 detailed mermaid tattoo that was so beautiful and unique) and if anything I fun place to walk around and just see what they have to offer. read more

I'm a big fan of Atown when gift shopping for Austin-y products on a timeline, but not on a budget. It can be a bit pricey, but it's super convenient to have so much variety under one roof. A co-worker returning to her home country? Step-in Atown for cool reminders of Austin. Looking for some local handmade jewelry? Atown to the rescue. They sell a huge variety of hip Austin t-shirts for folks looking to show some Austin love. As others have mentioned, this place is much larger than it appears from Burnet. read more

Love it, love it, love it!! Special shout out to Dawn H who introduced me to this gem of a store. Anyplace that gives me complimentary wine and cookies while I shop can gladly take my money. They have a ton of cool things here made from local jewelers and artists, fancy bath products and candles, cute attire, and all sorts of knick knacks. I found the most awesome coasters that have images of all the great places in Austin like Franklin's, Amy's, Kerbey Lane, etc. Those would make the perfect gift for anyone on your list who is normally hard to shop for. They also have a wall of 5 dollar earrings that I could have looked through for hours, but since we got there right before they closed I didn't want to keep them. Instead I made a beeline for the nail wall lined with gorgeous polishes and got two OPI shades for a total of $10 since they were buy one get one free. I've been thinking about this store (and those coasters) since I left and can't wait to go explore it more! read more

As you will see from my profile, I NEVER write reviews but this place is so amazing that I had to write a review!! This place is amazing! I was introduced to this local delight by a friend and it was the perfect place to pick up gifts for my family while in Austin. The staff was super helpful and having wine while I completed my purchase was brilliant touch! If you are visiting Austin or you are new to the city, go support this amazing store!! read more

This is essentially Austin, to me . It's just a mile from where I grew up, off of Burnet, has COOL local products, and is a great place to pick up (slightly overpriced, but not really because WORTH it) gifts. I've probably picked up as many things for myself here as I have for other people - a great substitute pick me up if you're trying not to eat ice cream when you feel down. I love the cool greeting card area, the tokyo milk lotions (gin and rosewater is my fave), the awesome author-themed candles (Edgar Allen Poe smelled great, ya'll), the misheard lyric coasters, and the rooms and rooms you can go through to look for things. Also cool jewelry? Check. I'm going through a laser-cut wood jewelry phase right now, myself. Aptly named, Atown. Aptly named. read more
