She made her way to me and was great and we had fun going through the many things there. I bought a gorgeous MCM dresser, a big beautiful statement lamp, MCM nightstands and fun, unique decorative pieces. The refurbishing is top notch and, at this level, you do pay for it but it's worth it because the pieces are perfect and timeless. If you can't swing the furniture just yet, just fill those IKEA shelves with some of their unique pieces and you still have the look. We moved back to Newport Beach but I truly miss this place..total gem.

They have a small parking lot on the side, along with a few spots specifically for takeout. As the name suggests, it's also a gift store, which makes the place even more unique.

My favorite thing about this place was definitely the outdoor space in the back. It's very relaxing and beautiful.

Strawberry Matcha Drink: literally just tasted like strawberry oat milk with zero matcha flavor. If you're looking for an actual matcha kick, may be skip this Coffee Cake Muffin: The flavor was good and sweet, making it a nice pairing with coffee. However, it was SUPER mushy--to the point where I couldn't tell if it was still raw or just severely underbaked texture-wise Almond Bar: It had a decent flavor profile, but the bottom crust made the whole thing very chalky and left a dry coating all over my mouth Cheesecake: Not bad overall, but nothing to write home about Banana Bread: This was the most decent item of the bunch. Thankfully, it wasn't nearly as mushy as the muffin. On the bright side, the gift shop is very cute! I ended up buying a little souvenir to remember Austin by, which was a nice saving grace. Cute concept and a fun spot to browse, but I'd probably skip the cafe menu if I'm ever back in town

Anyway, I love Room Service and have been coming here for years. Long before I relocated to Austin from the East Coast. It's part of my North Loop Jaunt where I hit up all my fave places in the neighborhood every few months or so. Prior to relocating, I'd visit Austin twice a year and always made time to stop in. This is one of the most inspiring and well laid out vintage stores ever. You can just get lost for hours. So many ideas for home decor and styling. They've always got a grand selection of MCM (Mid-Century Modern) furniture and accessories. My house is 99% MCM. They've really just got the best collection of everything. Trinkets, knickknacks, patches, light fixtures, dishes, mirrors, art, clothing, records, jewelry...you get my drift. Service is so super friendly and welcoming. I am particularly fond of the pro-trans sign in the entrance window!! Everything they carry is in very good to pristine condition and pricing is reflective. With that said, the prices are extremely fair. I can't recommend Room Service enough. Support local. Support small business. Sustainability. Be creative.

This nursery has always attracted knowledgeable plants people, who are also incredibly nice. In a recent visit, some of the folks even got on the ground to love on my new puppy. I can't tell you how touched I was and I will definitely keep returning as long as kind people work there. Of course I have to say the plant selection is always fantastic and the prices are fair. I buy a lot of plants and Shoal Creek is always my first choice.

I'm done…read more I've been shopping at this nursery on and off for nearly 15 years and have spent what is probably an embarrassing amount of money here over that time. For years, I've justified their outrageous prices because of the location and convenience, although between the consistently chaotic parking situation and the overall experience, I'm not even sure how convenient it really is. The customer service has always left a lot to be desired. The staff often come across as dismissive, pretentious, and generally inconvenienced by the presence of actual customers. I've overlooked that for years because I love plants and prefer supporting local nurseries over big-box stores. What I can no longer overlook is the declining quality of the plants and the increasingly disappointing selection. When you're charging premium prices, customers should be able to expect premium plants, knowledgeable and welcoming service, and a worthwhile shopping experience. Unfortunately, lately, I'm not seeing much of any of those things. It also feels like their pricing reflects the lack of nearby competition more than the actual value of what they're selling. When the closest alternative is Lowe's, I suppose they can get away with it. After nearly 15 years, I've finally reached the point where I'd rather drive farther for better quality, fairer prices, and employees who actually seem happy to have customers. Two stars for the location and the years of convenience. The rest has become increasingly difficult to justify.
