Getting here

On Lavaca, between 14th and 15th.

We share the lobby of an iconic downtown building one block south of the Capitol grounds. Look for the old oak canopy out front and the cream-on-charcoal wordmark on the door.

  • By car

    Street parking on Lavaca, Guadalupe, and 15th. The Capitol Visitor Garage on San Jacinto is a 4-minute walk if curb parking is full.

  • By bike

    Bike racks at the corner of 15th & Lavaca. The Lance Armstrong Bikeway is two blocks south on 11th.

  • By foot

    A short walk from the Capitol grounds, UT's south end, and the Bullock Museum. Two blocks east of the Texas Governor's Mansion.

A few quick answers

Before you
head over.

The things people ask us most often, answered up front so you can plan the morning.

Is there Wi-Fi and outlets?
Yes to both. Plenty of outlets along the lobby walls and free Wi-Fi for paying guests. As one regular put it: "wonderful spot to get work done with plenty of outlets."
Do you charge for alternative milks?
No upcharge for oat, almond, or alternative milks. Same price, however you take it.
Are you open on weekends?
Weekdays only for now — Monday through Friday, 8a to 3p. We're closed Saturday and Sunday.
Can I book the space for a private event?
For after-hours buyouts and weekend events, send a note through the form above with your date, headcount, and what you're planning. We'll get back with options.
Do you cater meetings nearby?
We can run drop-off coffee service for downtown offices and Capitol-area meetings. Same form, same response time. Give us a few days' notice for groups over twelve.
Is parking easy?
Street meters on Lavaca, Guadalupe, and the cross streets are usually open before 9a. The Capitol Visitor Garage is a short walk if not.
