If you live in the quaint community of Lakeway you probably have driven past the cafe, which is right in the heart of town on Lakeway Drive. Open Monday thru Saturday, the restaurant is busy serving up breakfast, lunch and weekend menu items to the hungry eaters of Lake Travis. The welcoming atmosphere will get you in the door while their food will keep you coming back for seconds.
Two Saints Baking Co. and Cafe – Unless you find yourself in the Shops at the Galleria in Bee Cave on a daily basis, you may not have noticed the humble Two Saints Baking Co. and Cafe. This would be a great loss, because Two Saints is one of the tastiest cafes in the area. Owners Heather and Dave run the business, which focuses on baking breakfast pastries, cakes, pies, hot breakfast sandwiches, savory soups and toasted paninis. The dining room is spacious and perfect for an afternoon meet up with a friend or to have a working lunch if you need table space to bring your laptop.

Bee Cave Coffee Co. – If you want to meet some baristas who really take their coffee seriously, take a trip out to Bee Cave Coffee Co. for a taste in the finest in local brews. Located in Bee Cave in the Hill Country Galleria, the cafe is open for breakfast and lunch, zeroing in on dishes like migas, breakfast tacos, Reuben sandwiches, flatbreads and more.

Always ready with plenty of open seating and outlets to charge your devices, this is an ideal spot for a working lunch or a quick pit stop with the kids.
Lola Savannah Coffee Lounge – Just down the road on 620 is an Austin coffee favorite, Lola Savannah Coffee Lounge, home of frothy lattes, fresh coffee and flaky morning pastries. It’s the perfect spot if you’re looking for a cafe with a view of the Texas Hill Country. This Houston-based coffee company has been making waves in the area since they are attached to popular eatery The Grove next door, but their drinks really do speak for themselves. Saddle up for a delicious caffeinated pit stop and shuffle next door if your hunger steps up a few notches.
