"This may not be your traditional ice cream shop, but a scoop of ice cream on top of churros is an amazing variation that will definitely satisfy all your cravings. If you’re looking for something a little more exciting than your classic vanilla, definitely go here."
"This dish features churros tossed in popcorn sugar, topped with vanilla ice cream, caramel drizzle, and a dash of sea salt. Any of their other options can be topped with vanilla ice cream too. Address: Trailer at 1906 South 1st Street, Austin, TX 78704"
"Enjoy the great outdoors at the Churro Co. food truck, where this delicious dessert fusion will have you screaming for s’more."
"Travel back in time to the glory days of the old-school ice cream parlors at Sweet Ritual. With an exceptional and absolutely tasty vegan twist, this ice cream shop, which is hidden away inside the Daily Juice Café, scoops non-dairy goodness into every cone. Each batch of ice cream at this joint is made from scratch in the store with complete love and care."
"Sweet Ritual's take is pleasingly creamy, and there's even have a vegan caramel for the truly dairy-averse. Curbside pickup orders can be placed online."
"If you’re searching to satisfy your sweet tooth, we recommend the Caramel Pecan Cinnamon Roll to start. Our favorite plates consist of the Lemon-Blueberry Buttermilk Pancakes, the Asparagus + Mushroom Quiche, and the Avocado + Peach Toast. For cocktails, we suggest Hibiscus Paloma and the Gin+ Jam."
"A little tricky to find this one, but the views of the Domain and the fire pits absolutely make it worth it!. Plus, killer happy hour deals."
"The perfectly tender ribs are served under grilled and fried onions and on top of black truffle grits. 10/10 would recommend."
"Not only does Fluff Meringues & More offer meringues, marshmallows, and an array of baked goods, they also have create-your-own pavlovas!. A pavlova is a large meringue topped with cream and fruit. Here you’ll pick your shell flavor, filling, toppings, and drizzle."

"Texas may seem like the most intimidating place a vegan or vegetarian could find themselves in. Not only do barbecue and steak rank supreme in the Lone Star State, but the UT Longhorn logo seems to further mock the plant-based from every possible corner. However, we are lucky enough in Austin to have a great selection of sanctuaries for those who are meat and dairy-free to get their nosh on—from pizza to soul food to Mexican, and everything in between."
"Starting with a small collection of folk art and outsider art from the South, the gallery has now grown into a well known venue for contemporary folk art, outsider art, pop art and fine art. Over the years the number of genuine folk artists has decreased and the gallery’s interests have broadened, leading them to a more varied approach to the artworks on display. Yard Dog Art Gallery now represent a diverse range of contemporary artists from a variety of backgrounds such as comic collage artist Mike Alcantara, woodcut artist Lisa Brawn and contemporary sculptor Camp Bosworth."
"The Yard Dog is an unconventional gallery that exhibits the works of an international group of creative and unique artists. The gallery opened up in the year 1995 and since then has added works of talented artists whose works fit in the gallery aesthetically. The contemporary American folk art that you see on their website and by visiting in person can also be purchased."
"When we opened in 1995, we were showing folk art from the Deep South. Our name, Yard Dog, was chosen to evoke that. We rather quickly began branching out, adding work by artists who were neither folk/outsider artists nor from the Deep South."
"Russell Collection Fine Art has assembled a collection of art that includes approximately 1000 original works presently making it the premier visual arts gallery in central Texas. Russell Collection Fine Art offers an outstanding schedule of special exhibitions and lectures for patrons. Our current collection also includes the artwork by the Masters such as Marc Chagall, Toulouse-Lautrec, Pablo Picasso, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Henri Matisse, and The Pissarro Family."
"If you’re looking for fine art – world-class art gallery West Chelsea Contemporary is the place to visit. The gallery focuses on 20th century and contemporary American and European Post-War movements. Here you’ll find art by legends such as the infamous Banksy, Salvador Dalí, Andy Warhol, and much more!"
"Russell Collection Fine Art Gallery is furnished with museum-quality artwork. The gallery presents something unique for every art collector. The gallery has amassed an extensive collection of fine art that encompasses roughly 1000 original works of art."
"utvac.orgThis 10,000-square-foot space in the University of Texas' Art Building features five galleries devoted to work by undergraduate and graduate students of UT, as well as department faculty and emerging artists from around the country and world. The multiple exhibition areas allow visitors to experience a variety of art in a concentrated space, showcasing the individual and collaborative experimentation taking place within the UT art community and beyond.
