Burnet Road

BLAST FROM THE PAST! The Burnet Road corridor has a lot to offer, most evident are its preserved historic cultural roots and diverse community that reflects the days of yore—1950s all the way up to modern times. It is known for it’s classic blast from the past look and feel. You could spend all day exploring the unique Vintage shops, Old School Diners and Burger Joints, as well as ogling the neon, painted, and carved signage. The funny thing is, there are Burnet road followings. A quick search will reveal how important this road is to Austin’s culture: Burnetroad.net. The version of Burnet road we have curated encompases spiffy spots close to: Allandale, Brentwood, Crestview, and North Shoal Creek south of where burnet meets 183 hwy. P.S. Locals pronounce the street Burnit, not Burnette.

Thunderbird is a locally owned coffee & tap café specializing in direct-trade beans and craft brews. Walk up and encounter a smorgasbord of noshing options: Made in-house sandwiches, Quacks baked goods, bagel dogs (toasted to order and in my opinion served best with mustard), oatmeal, and more. Taco Deli choices are offered in the morning but quickly sell out, so if you get one of these tacos with your coffee you know it’s fresh. Clean, modern, and cozy environment to host a multitude of engagements partaking in beverages and snacks. To mention a few: dates, friend meet-ups, interviews, quick work lunch meetings, family chill time, and as always good spot to noodle around on digital devices. Inside space has plenty of seating options. Soft bench-like booth seating available, hightop barstools with backs, and chair seating at lower tables. Some of the tables are long and multiple people can share comfortably. NOTE: no outlets to charge your things, so come prepared & CHARGED. But if you do indeed need a charge they do offer to take your device to the back and charge it for a bit. Kind souls! Whether the rain or sun is pouring down you’ll have a comfy covered porch to rest and sip the beverage of your choice. The porch is covered, yet open and has zip-able windows with seating all around, which I find the perfect combination of outdoor comfort choices. Dogs allowed on porch and even encouraged, they have water bowls out for the pups.
