    T shirts

    What an amazing store right in downtown Austin! There are so many music themed souvenirs, mugs, Tshirts and actual guitars that you can purchase here. The vibe is very Austiny and you can also find a nice selection of local souvenirs here.

    This is one of those really cool shops located directly on Congress which gets a lot of pedestrian traffic. We've been wanting to come here for sometime, but since we don't live in the city center, it means that you'll be facing one of those parking kiosks to receive your credit card. This is a very spacious store that definitely has a great local musical flare and needless to say Willie Nelson is a key feature. The place has a great selection of T-shirts, jewelry, and even some instruments at the rear of the store, but no actual record albums. If you find yourself walking down Congress near 6th street, you should really stop in. And as the business owner points out, apparently I missed the record section.

    I came into this location this past Saturday with another party while waiting for an ATX food tour. This was my first time at this location (although I have been meaning to get to the location for years). As my home is big on music, (with Thing One playing three instruments; tuba, guitar and double bass, Thing Two playing two instruments; piano and violin and your trusty old OCA playing one instrument; the violin for the last 30 + plus years). I just had to stop in and at least take a look around. After looking around for about 10 minutes, I decided on purchasing a painting. I selected the one that spoke to me the most which happened to be a painting of a lively scene in a club. It took a little effort to get the painting off the wall but it was worth the wait. I am pleased with the painting and the level of service I received. However, I did ask for a military discount and was advised that paintings were not subject to the discount. I do think this will be the first and last time I buy a piece from here as more than $500.00 for this piece is excessive. #supportlocal #supportthearts

    Looking for music related gifts? T-shirts with your favorite band? Coffee mugs with music related themes? Miniature guitars? Stickers? Jewelry? This store has it all and so much more. I could have spent hours looking through it as the selection was diverse and fun. I loved the area in the back with ukuleles and guitars. We didn't buy much (laying over in Austin for a few hours) but we really did enjoy visiting. Also enjoyed meeting "Louise" the house cat. Hope to return on another visit to Austin!

    Cool music store that also sells clothing, gifts, cat toys (?), as well as ukuleles and other instruments. (Mostly interested in the ukes, though!) I was walking to a show at the Paramount and was surprised that this place was open later. And it was decently busy inside! Friendly service.

    I think music connects us all, but if you're a music buff or know someone who is, then there is sure to be a connection up in here, up in here! I'm not that into the genre of Rock (which seems to be pretty popular here), but I spotted a few artists and groups that I did know and appreciate. Though not super diverse (in my opinion), I was happy to see some Black artists like Prince, Beyonce, Cardi B, and Michael Jackson featured. More genres and more races, please! This store features a lot of current and historic music celeb memorabilia, trinkets, gifts, clothing and collectibles. They also sell cool instruments, and it's just an overall fun store to browse! Ditch those gas station-like souvenir shops and grab something from here instead! Lots of Austin stuff! Happy browsing!

    Love this store. It is an actual music store in the back and fun, trinkets and souvenirs in the front. This store is not your typical junkies souvenir shop. Stop by and say hey to Louie as well.

    I love rhe selection of things in there I bought some knick knacks and I was happy. Large selection for the size.

    What a cool place.

    Looking for a cool gift idea for the music lover in your life?? Look no further than Wild About Music!! This shop is massive and full of fun music-themed knickknacks. Seeking graphic T's of your favorite band? They've got them. Artwork depicting your favorite musician? They've got it. Need: guitars? Ukuleles? Thumb pianos? Guitar straps? Piano socks? They have all of that and more. I initially wasn't certain of what gift I wanted to grab for my music-lover-person, but, after a lap or two around the place (JAMMING to the background music playing in the store) and the help of the super friendly staff (and their cat, Jeffery), I found exactly what I never knew I wanted!! Score! No pun intended. I'll be back for sure.

    Alright, so it took me about six years to return to this place because I had some major PTSD from…read morean employee (who still happens to work here unfortunately). However, this time was a lot different and I was able to find the perfect gifts for my friend's birthday as well as fun items for myself. It seems like the selection has remained the same although Atown is keeping up with current and modern trends. For example, there were a lot of ICE based items tucked away as well as current celebrity crushes who are on everybody's minds. The coolest thing I found was a James Talarico candle but other than that, a lot of the items that were for sale were pretty kitschy and I believe they are the same wholesale items I have seen before. I must shoutout the incredibly helpful service from Audrey who went above and beyond to help me find items for my friend's birthday. She was super sweet, and I would've been wandering around the store aimlessly if it wasn't for her direction. Additionally, she even came up with combination gift ideas which was pretty sick. Atown is lucky to have her! I think my PTSD is no longer because of her assistance. Great store, unfortunately high prices. However, no one does it like Atown!

There are 3 or 4 separate areas you can visit and they have things from locally made earrings and art to coasters, desk plates, rubber ducks of famous people, religious candles with random famous people, funny socks, clothes, and so much more. The staff is friendly and outgoing, they even had a woman at the door greeting you and offering you a hand basket if you wanted or needed one. There were 3 or 4 cashiers and at least one lady walking around greeting you and seeing if they could help. It is pricier then your chain store but the products are cooler, unique, and many times locally made. Things you can't get at other stores or amazon. Like so many places, it's one downside is parking. It is a small lot, if you part in front you basically have to back in to spot blocking traffic or back out into traffic. There is a small side lot that is better but you basically have to 3 point turn out of that spot. Always willing to pay a bit more to support local. We don't get out of our area/comfort zone much but we do love this place. #Supportlocal

Now, the real star: the gluten-free baked goods. We tried four different things, cookies included, and honestly? I was stunned.

Not overly sweet, not dry, not crumbly, just genuinely delicious pastries that happen to be gluten-free. I don't know what magic they're working in that kitchen, but this is easily the best gluten-free bakery I've come across. A must-visit, no question.

Every piece in the store appears to be intentionally curated. Maaribu melds a home and gift shop with an in house café and bakery, creating an experience that's both relaxing and memorable. According to Mable, my server, Maaribu is a combination of the word Marfa (Texas town that has the Prada store) and Malibu. The brand is often described as combining Marfa's creative spirit, Malibu's laid back lifestyle, and clean Scandinavian design. The shop portion of Maaribu is beautifully styled, featuring furniture, décor, books, and gifts that have a modern flare. All the items are easy to peruse and get drawn in. The use of color is playful and engaging. Maaribu's key highlight is its café and bakery. The in house café has an assortment of coffee, wellness beverages, and dedicated gluten free baked goods. I bought a Rose honey latte, which was divine along with a multi-layer pastry. Mable said customers enjoy the quality and flavor of the pastries...scones, muffins, cookies, brownies, and egg bites are frequent favorites. Importantly, the café is reported to be fully gluten free, which makes it a standout destination for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, without sacrificing taste or variety. The outdoor seating and patio area add to the charm, making Maaribu a great place to enjoy coffee and pastries on a nice Austin morning. After years in Austin, I finally discovered Maaribu--a modern, eclectic coffee shop and store. Every item is thoughtfully curated, blending a home-and-gift shop with a café and bakery for a relaxing experience. The name combines Marfa's creative vibe, Malibu's laid-back style, and Scandinavian design. The shop offers stylish furniture, décor, books, and gifts, all easy to browse and visually engaging. Maaribu's café is fully gluten-free, featuring quality pastries like scones, muffins, cookies, brownies, and egg bites, as well as wellness drinks and coffee. Outdoor seating makes it a perfect spot to enjoy coffee and pastries on a pleasant Austin morning. Wow...Maaribu!!!

They have plenty of parking as they are part of a mall and there is tons of parking stalls. Can't wait to come back and visit this store on my next work trip. It will definitely be on my list of things to do when I visit Austin, Texas and in the mood for shopping.
