Now Open
Strangelove
A new coffee shop and wine bar, a collaboration between Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors and bar Small Victory, is now open near Intero Restaurant.
West China Tea has opened its first brick-and-mortar teahouse. The Austin-based company was founded in 2012 as a specialty importer of farm-direct Chinese tea, featuring more than 200 types of tea sourced from over 40 suppliers.
Fish Shop
A new raw bar is slated to open on East 6th Street, offering oysters, clams, fish and chips and more from Chef Justin Huffman and Nicole Rossi of Le Beef Burger.
The cafe will reopen this summer after closing its East Cesar Chavez Street location in early April. The new location replaces Revival Coffee, which closed late 2024. From owner Mary Jenkins, Cenote offers French-pressed coffee, Austin-style tapas, tacos and dishes, craft beer and wine.
All Saints Tattoo
After 13 years in downtown Austin, the tattoo shop has moved to a house in East Austin. The grand opening of the location coincides with the shop’s 13th anniversary and introduction of body piercing services.
Pershing
The private social club launched its new workspace and co-working membership. The new co-working space features indoor and outdoor work areas, access to conference rooms, and personal concierge that will bring coffee and food on request from Pershing East, the coffee-shop and eatery adjacent to Pershing and open to the public. Memberships start at $300 a month.
The daycare is celebrating five years of offering early childhood education and wraparound support services for families in the Montopolis neighborhood. The center includes a subsidized tuition program as well as a food and nutrition program, in which students garden each week and are sent home fresh produce twice each week.
Redbud Ice House
Just over a year after opening, Redbud Ice House closed, a result of the lease not being renewed, according to staff. The space offered wagyu burgers and live music and was a concept from the MaieB Hospitality group also behind Michelin star restaurant Olamaie.
