Past Issues

Here’s what’s happening in Austin.

ICYMI, this Friday marks International Yoga Day, which means there’s a full schedule of fun on the horizon for this weekend. But before things kick off, sit back, sip a cold beverage, and enjoy our roundup of the health and fitness headlines you’ve been waiting for.

🍋 A Mellow Mash-up

Your summer is about to get a lot more chill. South Congress coffee bar and hangout spot Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden has introduced a Cold Brew Lemonade Coffee Shandy infused with MCT and CBD. Stop by to cool off with the unlikely (and amazing) combination featuring their signature orange zest cold brew coffee made with real sugar, lemon, and sea salt. And make sure you pick up a few cans to go, we’ve got a feeling this is about to be your new favorite pick-me-up.

🌟 Spreading Their Wings

One of Austin’s most popular donation-based studios is growing! At the end of May, Black Swan Yoga opened their fourth ATX location on E Cesar Chavez, complete with a sliding garage door, a colorful mural, and a cave-like ceiling. So tuck your yoga mat under your arm and head over to the new digs for a friendly flow with like-minded yogis.

🍍 New Blend On Deck

To get Austinites in the summer spirit, local smoothie cafe Blenders & Bowls is adding a new item to their menu. Starting July 1, you can order up The Sunny Bowl, a fresh blend of mango, banana, pineapple, and coconut water topped with granola, kiwis, strawberries, coconut shreds, and a drizzle of honey. Stop by to sink your spoon into this superfood-packed snack. Oh, and snag a shot for the ’gram while you're at it, if they repost, you’ll score a free bowl!

🌳 Opt Outside

The weather in Austin may be near perfect all year long, but once summer gets into full swing, things can get downright sweltering. And while we’re already experiencing 90º days, that’s hardly an excuse not to hit the hiking trail, and ATX has plenty to choose from. Whether you prefer the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail or a scenic trek in Barton Creek Wilderness Park followed by a dip in the Sculpture Falls, nothing beats an afternoon in the fresh air.

🧀 Dairy-Free Cheese, Please

A new cheese and wine shop has its sights set on Mueller, but this one is a bit different from the rest. Say hello to Rebel Cheese, an all-vegan concept opening in Austin this summer. Expect house-made, dairy-free cheese plates, plant-based meats, and gourmet grocery items. We’re already drooling over the menu (hello brie and bacon sandwich with fig jam) and can’t wait to try their carrot lox and tofu eggs. Keep an eye on their Instagram for updates!

🌮 In Other News

Austin’s beloved taco joint, Tacodeli, has opened its first downtown location! Situated on Congress Avenue across the street from the JW Marriot, the Congress cafe menu features all of their regular favorites, like their signature breakfast and lunch tacos, aguas frescas, and horchatas, and offers call ahead and online ordering. The new spot marks their sixth restaurant in the city, but we’ve also heard rumor of a seventh coming soon to the Austin Bergstrom International Airport, so keep your eyes peeled!
