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

Written by Sandra Spicher | January 26, 2016

Blonde-Roast

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.

Backdraft Pizzeria Has Arrived in Lake Travis

Written by Todd Hower | September 3, 2015

Back in 2010 the food trailer movement was taking off around downtown Austin. And it wasn’t long after that we had our very first food trailer arrive in the Lake Travis area — Hey Cupcake! set up shop at the corner of 620 and 2222 in front of Thundercloud Subs. That shiny Airstream is still satisfying our cupcake cravings today.

A couple of years later, Hey Cupcake! brought in another Airstream and set up shop on the lot catty-corner to the Chick-fil-A in Bee Cave. Not much to speak of for variety in food trailers in the area. We were surrounded by cupcakes.

But food trailers are mobile. And that Hey Cupcake! trailer quietly rolled out of town one night and left the south-siders without a chance to stock up on red velvet cupcakes.

In early 2013, the highly anticipated Dock & Roll Diner grabbed a spot at the Southside 620 Park & Eatery. But it wasn’t long before they quietly sneaked out of town and relocated to the newly opened Midway Food Park out on 360.

Except for the original Hey Cupcake!, life in Lake Travis was without food trailers.
