A couple of my favorites include Central Market, and Cherrywood Coffeehouse on 1400 E 38.5, but I was just hoping to hear other people’s input on this one.

Everyone said my go-to’s, so I’ll go with Meanwhile. They have coffee, beer, wine, and seltzer cocktails. They also have 5 food trucks
But, limited indoor seating if it’s too hot. Also, don’t go on a weekend unless you wanna help babysit lol

Once Over has great coffee and el primo is in the parking lot. Outdoor seating under the Live oaks

I love Cosmic and Radio! Cosmic is probably my favorite. It’s usually a little more crowded, but there’s great drinks and food trucks as well.

Mozarts used to be really good out west of mopac but not sure if still there I haven’t been there in years

Flat Track also actually has an outdoor patio that’s pleasant as well if you’re in that area. it’s a little secluded from the main section but good vibes.

Maybe not “great” but Epoch on Anderson has a space in the shopping center courtyard that is relatively peaceful and you can walk over to the pond and it is shaded and cozy.

I’m mostly familiar with South spots, so Radio and Cosmic for sure, but also Patika, Meteor, Manana South Congress, and Stellar @ The Thicket.

There’s some good stuff listed here already, so I’ll throw in a new one: Batch Craft Beer and Kolaches
It’s mostly low key and chill, though sometimes they run out of kolaches which is a bummer cause they’re pretty great.
Also, Sour Duck can be a good option if you don’t mind little kids running around. It’s a popular spot for parents, kinda like Central Market in your photo

Madrone coffee co has been my go to recently. Took over the old pizza garden stone house off 290. They have a fenced in playground too so great if you have kids.

What part of town?
South side definitely Cosmic, OPA, and Freddo’s. All pretty chill places when I’ve been. Sometimes OPA and Freddo’s have live music.

Lazarus Brewing has some solid coffee and outdoor seating. They have a coffee golden ale, Jolted Phoenix, they make in house that is PHENOMENAL!!

Barrett’s is opening a new location soon on North Loop in the old Pharas/ Ararat space. I had a sneak peek last week for the block party, it has a huge beautiful back yard. I’m soo looking forward for this place to be on my rotation.

There’s a covered outdoor area at Flightpath (5011 Duval). It’s not a gorgeous view or anything but a great cozy, covered space

Patika on South Lamar has a nice little patio in the back, and excellent in-house baked goods (and coffee)

Nomadic on Brodie recently opened. Great outdoor spot with enough activities to keep my kids entertained for a while.

I always thought that Cenote did a good job on their outdoor area.

Any suggestions for North?

Try Hard in the old Blue Dahlia space on 11th has a little secret bamboo forest out back that’s super cozy and dog friendly.

Most recently I’ve really enjoyed Ani’s Day & Night. Super chill outdoor space with food trucks. I’ve also enjoyed both Spokesman locations. The south location is right by St. Elmo brewery. The north location is at the same space as the Brewtorium

Mañana, the newer location at Seaholm.
Another one that is a good option in north Austin is [Easy Tiger around I-35 and Koenig](https://goo.gl/maps/c6vYRoeM1Vw9FZf59).
It may be more on the expensive side of things. I have seen people bring their laptops and work there. Coffee is served there.
