Austin Attraction- Spider House Coffee

August 21, 2008

My Favorite Coffee House

When we’re not practicing real estate, we’re drinking coffee- true story. Many people move to Austin assuming that the only coffee is from the most visible presence in any American city- Starbucks. This is just not so, there are many wonderful independent coffee houses in Austin and we’ll highlight our favorites over the coming weeks.

So although we like Starbucks, we will always prefer to visit local coffee houses and our favorite is the Spider House located just north of campus. When I got married, we most sincerely considered being the first wedding at Spider House (although we went traditional). I spent a lot of time there during high school and then it was my favorite study spot during college. Where else can you get a cold IBC Root Beer, a coffee or a beer from 7am-2am and sit outside on grandma-style hipster chairs all day while listening to indie music?? Here is why we love Spider House via pictures:

    I love the Spider House, too! I am a oil painter that has left the studio to paint people “live” in Coffee Houses. Most of the time, I don’t get caught. Maybe I’ve painter you before! ~ Thank you, Lavanna

    You know, I have heard of this place, but never seen it (until now). I need to make a visit there.

    Lavanna, your work is AWESOME! You didn’t catch me, but maybe some day!

    Matt, you *must* go, it’s so cool. I’m not really the dredlocked tattoo type, but I’m still quite comfortable there and they always play cool indie music, often local.
