Best thing we ate this week… We had Texas Honey Ham for breakfast this morning and honestly I forget how great it is! I’ve been eating there since probably middle school… It’s a quintessential West Austin breakfast/lunch spot serving everything from breakfast tacos, to pancakes, to BLTs, and so much more. The prices are very reasonable, plenty of options in the $10-15 range that rival many of the higher end breakfast and brunch spots in town. We both had the jedi breakfast taco with fried eggs, bacon, brisket, avocado, and queso… yeah it was a lot… but WOW. We also each had the ā€œbreakfast rollā€ which is a house made roll with a fried egg, your choice of meat (their bacon is the bestttt) and cheese. This place goes hard. It’s one of my favorite spots for a quick breakfast or lunch, and it doesn’t get any of the influencer marketing hype, which I find to be a sign of this place's staying power… the people that know, are loyal and go back frequently. They don’t even need the marketing campaigns.

Neighborhood: ā€˜02

Square Feet: 1581

Rare East Austin opportunity: two homes on one lot. The front house (~605 sq ft) offers 3BD/1BA with potential for renovation or redevelopment. Behind it sits a move-in ready, architect-designed ~850 sq ft home recognized for its sustainable, intentional design. With cathedral ceilings, abundant windows, and seamless indoor/outdoor flow, it lives larger than its footprint. The main level features a bedroom, full bath, modern kitchen, and screened-in porch, while upstairs includes another bedroom, flex space, half bath, and a plumbed sleeping porch. Between both homes, a ~123 sq ft flex room works as an office or guest suite. Shaded by mature fruit trees, this property holds a rare 5-Star Austin Energy Green Building rating and has been featured in Austin Woman Magazine, Tribeza, and Eastside. Ideal for multi-gen living, STR, or rental income, just steps from Chestnut Pocket Park and minutes from East Austin’s cultural core.
