Austin's latest dining wave brings a balance of wellness-focused concepts and sweet indulgences. Health-conscious diners have new options in protein-packed bowls and nutrition drinks, while dessert lovers can explore new ice cream parlors and cobbler shops.
Round Rock emerges as a dining hotspot with four new openings, including specialty food trucks and dessert destinations, while breakfast sandwiches and SoCal Mexican tacos round out the metro's expanding food scene.
Impacts of the week
Open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m., this cafe serves handhelds, salads, bowls and breakfast options made with 30-50 grams of protein and without the use of seed oils. The concept was specifically created to make nutritious food more accessible for people with busy schedules. To drink, customers can sip on the signature Rooted Power Coffee, which features organic coffee, grass-fed chocolate whey protein, maple syrup and whole grass-fed milk.
