Behind-the-Scenes of Cafe Lago in Lakeway

Written by Tiffini Brock | February 15, 2016

Located in the heart of Lakeway in the Lakeway Village Plaza is Cafe Lago.

You are probably a regular. And have been for years. The little cafe seems to have always existed, humbly waiting to serve you delicious Migas.

The restaurant has not changed much in the 24 years they have been open.

The current owners, cousins Carleen Rubio and Miranda Valenta, took over in 2002 (Miranda came in in 2010 after Carleen’s mother sold her share to Miranda ) after the original owners retired. They have kept the little breakfast spot in its original state … with a few menu additions.

Kuxtal Coffee and Tea in Lago Vista: Direct from the Farmer to the Consumer

Written by Sandra Spicher | January 26, 2016

The gas-fired barrel roaster rumbles along for a few minutes, then a crackle sounds. It’s like a dry twig snapping. Scott Bogart checks a temperature gauge.

He nods, twists a handle, and pulls out a hot sample.

The coffee beans in the sample tube are turning from the delicate green of new lettuce to a shade like straw.

We’ve talked about Cups & Cones before and gave you 6 reasons why you can eat more ice cream. But we didn’t take a moment to really break down all of the local (and delicious) food that is being served at Cups & Cones.

Let’s start with breakfast.

You’re not in Texas if you can’t get a breakfast taco and Cups & Cones is serving up some on the best from Hooked Up Tacos. You can choose from several ready-made combinations like egg and bacon, egg and sausage, or egg and potato. They all come with cheese and your choice of red or green salsa. If you like your salsa with some kick, the green salsa is to die for!

Written by Mandy Spivey | January 19, 2015

Some days are perfect for warming up with a hot cup of soup or a fresh cup of coffee. These days I have been in the mood more and more for these simple cold weather foods, like tomato basil soup, a nice chai latte or a straight-from-the-oven cookie, so I head over to Two Saints Baking Co. & Cafe in Bee Cave to quell the cravings.

If you’re ever in the area by Highway 71 and 620, take a turn into the Shops at the Galleria, where you can find Two Saints nestled at the west edge of the shopping center. The fresh food offerings, including breakfast, lunch, coffee drinks and treats, are all made in-house and from scratch.

Angel Donuts & Treats: A Sweet Stop in the Lake Travis Area

Written by Mandy Spivey | August 5, 2014

Just up the road and tucked away in the Trails of 620 shopping center sits one of the best sweet stops in the Lake Travis area. Angel Donuts and Treats is independently-owned and run by master donut chefs and bakers Angela Whitman and Cyndra Larsen. What began as two roommates concocting and baking up sweets out of their place has turned into a full-time business. But their passion for baking didn’t start with donuts.

“It started with cake balls; we tried some cake balls and thought they were pretty amazing, then we started playing with different flavors,” Larsen goes on to say. Her love for the dessert is apparent in the large glass display in front showcasing the dozen or so flavors of cake balls she has perfected over the years.
