☕️ A New Dopamine‑Colored Cafe in Austin
Tucked along Burnet Road, this cheerfully painted little cafe feels like a burst of confetti in Austin's coffee scene. Inside, shelves are lined with matcha tins and freshly baked cookies, while a hand‑brushed calligraphy scroll at the register reads “Cái Lái” (財來) — a playful nod, perhaps, to the owner's heritage 🖌️. We settled in to try a few things: Plain matcha 🍵: Clean, grassy, not sweet — next time I’ll add a flavor shot for a twist. Baklava oat latte 🥛: Gently sweetened, not at all cloying like the dessert can be, though the baklava spice notes were subtle. Still, a nice pick for something different. Sourdough pepperoni bread 🍞: Tasted like a deconstructed, healthier pizza — chewy, savory, and satisfying enough to be a light lunch on its own. Cookies 🍪: – Campfire cookie 🔥: Basically a s’more in cookie form — chocolate base, gooey marshmallow, crisp edges. Absolutely delicious. – Chocolate chip cookie 🍫: Fine, but didn’t stand out — I’d stick to local favorite Teddy V’s for that classic. – Half peanut butter, half chocolate cookie 🥜: A solid split‑personality treat, rich and a little salty. Easy to reach, sweet to look at, and full of little treats worth trying. Whether you’re here for the matcha, the carbs, or just the pastel‑colored vibes, this spot delivers a smile. #PinkCafe #Austin #AustinCoffeeShop #AustinCoffee #AustinFoodDiscovery #AustinFood
