There's also a place there that sells plants and outdoor gardening needs, but they seemed a little pricey to me. I've never gone there to listen to any live music but would love to hear what that is like. It seems like one of those places that you're not exactly sure what it is!

It's a large open space that houses a sports bar restaurant,, a coffee shop (Cafe Aroma), a garden center, a live music venue, co-working space ... and perhaps other uses I'm not aware of. I have camped out here at the coffee shop for a couple days now to work. The coffee is not bad, and is mostly quiet and not super busy. They have gelato, smoothies and a small selection of baked goods. They also showcase locally made items like jewelry, soaps, clothing, etc., and they have seeds and plants for sale in the nursery. Overall, a neat space, and I am looking forward to coming back and trying out some of the other aspects.

Over time, demand for these items grew and so did the business. By 2000, the then-7 acre nursery had reached the limits of the property. Over the course of several months, plants, greenhouses and people were relocated and repositioned to our current location on Milo Road in east Austin. Now, 20 years since that great migration, our 40 acres are again maxed out. However, rather than finding more space to grow more things, our focus is on improving quality and efficiency in our current systems. Today, our customers include retail nurseries, landscape companies, architects, home builders, municipalities, and approved non-profit organizations across the state.

It's a large space, great for groups, and it's nice there is a kids menu option. We started with water all around, plus Mexican cokes and a paloma. We shared seafood tostada, chips n guacamole, wings, and chicken flautas. Everything came out hot, fresh, and nicely seasoned. We have two gluten free folks in the group and there were plenty of corn based options. The tostadas come with three and were nice and fresh, I was a little hesitant when it said mayo, but there was just a bit to get the shrimp and imitation crab to stick together. Turned out the kids loved the wings - we tried the citrus pepper and Austin amber bbq flavors. The chicken inside the flautas was tender and we enjoyed the cabbage, onion, carrot slaw to bring a fresh crunch. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.
