Flipnotics

On the way back from Zilker Park one day, my sister and I stumbled upon this wonderful little coffee place called Flipnotics. From the outside, it looks like a small shop with nice balconies that overlook the scenery of local Austin. Basically, it's a tiny place that serves up coffee, local foods and live music, preserving the title for Austin that we so proudly brag of: "The Live Music Capital". It opened in 1992, and has been playing live music every night. There is a calendar of their live music schedule for the next month; you guys should definitely check it out.

Just outside of Zilker Park in Barton Springs, Flipnotics is a very calming place, not to mention that their coffee is delicious. You can find their menu here. My favorite is their Italian Soda (I have yet to develop a coffee addiction for now), but I think my sister really liked the Flip's Frappe. Open on Monday to Saturdays from 7AM to midnight (and on Sundays, 8AM to 11PM), Flipnotics is open during both the morning, so any of you morning-haters can grab some delightful coffee, and at night for the loud, live music experience that many people in Austin crave. Their complex system of balconies and decks make for a wonderful place to work, as the only thing stopping you from working is probably Facebook because, guess what, Flipnotics also hosts free WI-FI service. It really is a wonderful little place to gather and truly ties in the image of what most people see local, downtown Austin as.
