Austin Java announced Dec. 3 that it will open its newest store, located at 5405 Manchaca Road, Austin, on Dec. 7. The South Austin location will serve breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch. The cafe also serves coffee, espresso drinks and beer. Owner Tomas Fernandez told Community Impact Newspaper in November that the business continues to look at locations across the Austin area that would see Austin Java as an amenity for the community. The local brand also plans to begin brewing its own beer in 2019. Austin Java opened a location, which also serves as its headquarters, east of Dripping Springs on Hwy. 290 this spring. In August a new cafe was opened at the MetCenter in Southeast Austin. Fernandez said a future location in the cellphone lot at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is also in the works. www.austinjava.com
