After passing by this cute coffee place several times, I decided to pop in when I saw an empty spot…read morein their small parking lot. I was sucked in by their marquee that screamed "Voted Best Coffee in Austin." The coffee was decent enough, but I don't think this is worth going out of your way to try. This is more of an artisan leather goods store than a traditional coffee house. It's set up like a casual store with an espresso machine. Really weird vibe. There's only one small, round, communal table with like 5 chairs. This is not a spot conducive to working. We came in and ordered two cappuccinos (cost: over $11). The tattooed barista was very cold and unwelcoming, and she even made a point to tell us that we weren't petting her dog the correct way. She did give us a cup of treats to give the pup, so that was enjoyable. Good thing, because it took her FOREVER to make our drinks. I was shocked when she said the espresso machine was brand new, then proceeded to whip out a handheld frother (!!) to finish our milk for the cappuccinos. Uh...what? When it was finally ready, at least they were hot and tasty, but also served in paper to-go cups. I felt like she just wanted to get us out of there because she was so bothered by our presence. Since there was no place to sit, we just went back to the car to enjoy our drinks. They also don't have sweetener, so I was glad I had my own Splenda packets in the car. I know Austin is a weird place, but this place is just the strangest. I do not recommend, and I cannot for the life of me understand these glowingly positive reviews

No cats (yet) but they had all the letters, longhorns, hearts, etc. I got bats on each, courtesy Kennedy, the "brand manager". Bats. Boots. Battlestar Galactica. By the way, the drink they handed me told me, "Nice handmade boots- I like the lemonwood pegging" and I thanked it. And then the drink said, "Those have tri-layer insoles, you have good taste," and I was like, "Thanks again". And later my drink said, "Of all the soft premium leathers, I think goat suits you best- you look great" and it freaked me out so I asked why my drink keeps saying all these nice things, and they told me the drinks are complimentary.

SOCO, once the pearl of the city in the early 2010's. Awesome little curio shops abound, Lucy in…read morethe Sky with Diamonds and numerous Austin weirdness abound. We found ourselves often during the weekends and alway popped into Allen's Boots, since in the late 70's, my honey pie used to sell boots there. I have had several lovely prezzies for Birthday's and Christmases of yeehaw boots. For my birthday this year, she found herself in the Western/Boot mile at Tecovas. SOCO, isn't what it used to be and has become a tourist trap with no less then I think 4 back to back Western shops and other overpriced shops, that all seem to have the same things. Vespaio/Guero's are still around, much to our happiness. On my day, there was a familiar looking wrapped box awaiting me. Inside, there was a box from Tecovas with a pair of their "The Dean" boots. They were very nice and a half size, with a zipper on the side. Coolio. Don't know the official name for this style. I put them on and they were bit tight, but endured it for the first time I worn them for any period of time. The Suze, expert in all things boots, thought we should go back to Teconas and get a different size. Holy mass of Cowboy wanna'be's Batman. The store was packed, mass confusion, not sure who actually worked there and who was shopping or just being "Seen". I was able to finally find, what looked like somebody over 23, that was behind a register and explained our dilemma. He was the right guy and he mentioned he felt that a wider boot was probably the issue and disappeared to source a pair for me. We just hung around. They had a bar or something offering a complimentary shot of whiskey, if I recall. It was somewhat of a chaotic lay out made even more confusing due to the number of peeps milling about. Bootman came back and luckily they did have a wider size in the same size. We grabbed a chair, that had become available and I slipped on the boots. They definitely felt better and I walked a little circle a few times and we got the heck out of there. Diligently trying to get new pair broken in properly, I wore them to the office a few times. A date night and such. My right boot, just wasn't right. My little toe was always numb/asleep with the pressure of the boot around them. They just didn't ease up. To Suzie's dismay, I just didn't put them on again for a month or so. An impromptu staycation weekend, staying at South Congress Hotel, Suze choose to go back into Tecovas and get a resolution. She wasn't to pleased that dropping $1000 for a pair of boots, that I just couldn't wear, there wasn't something they should be able to do. Luckily, since they were located across the street from SCH, she dropped in with the boots right after they opened. There was something amiss with the toe box and when she explained the issue, she was met with zippo assistance or concern frankly. They let her know there wasn't anything they could do and perhaps she could take them to a cobbler to ascertain and fix it. Err.. what? Don't you guys make these boots? Curiously not standing behind a pricey purchase, that I couldn't enjoy, isn't real Cowboy hospitality now is it? And no amounts of complimentary booze, although, delicious for sure, will see us in your establishment again. Meanwhile, we are out a grand. My suggestion, hitch your horse up to any other Western wear/Boot store in Austin. Heck, head to Allen's next door, which Suze wishes she would have all along.

I've been using Leather Memdors for 12 years now and I cannot imagine going anywhere else. I couldn't be happier with the dashboard work that Paul did on my vehicle!

The finish is smooth, flawless, and the color match is perfect down to the smallest details. What really stood out was the professionalism throughout the whole process. They took the time to explain everything, treated my vehicle with great care, and made sure the final result was nothing short of exceptional.

While I do not shop at STAG Provisions for Men, I can appreciate the mural and the homage to. I value Willie Nelson's contributions. Willie Nelson is a Texas‑born singer and songwriter who helped redefine country music by choosing authenticity over mainstream country music. After early success writing hit songs for others in Nashville, he returned to Texas in the 1970s, where his independent spirit fueled the outlaw country movement. With his distinctive voice, storytelling style, and lifelong activism, Nelson became both a music legend and a cultural symbol of doing things your own way.
