If the weather is right, Flitch Coffee is the perfect outdoor spot to grab a cup of coffee and breakfast taco with friends or just your favorite book.

Food scene
Delicious (and on the healthy side) tacos. This place is great for both breakfast, lunch and dinner tacos. It's created a quick cult following since opening up not that long ago so don't be surprised if there's a little wait getting in.

Sightseeing
If you have bike, scooter or just in the mood for a jog on the east side, I would recommend hitting the trails up via the Montopolis bridge. It's somewhat under the radar and a great spot to check out Austin's skyline.
