Although most people think of plush furnishings and elaborate creams and oils when they think of a day at the spa, Austin’s Milk + Honey Day Spa takes an entirely different approach to a day of pampering. This modern spa focuses on healing, wellness, and relaxation through its natural and organic treatments, and its stylish environment is comfortable yet sparse. Wooden walls, minimal furnishings, and airy, light-filled rooms feel completely tranquil and inspiring at the same time.

Milk + Honey provides treatments for both men and women, including massages, facials, and nail treatments for hands and feet. Many guests choose to purchase treatment packages that offer multiple services for a discounted rate. Whether you’re booking a bridal shower or you simply want to pamper yourself on a day off, Milk + Honey Day Spa will leave you feeling rejuvenated and inspired.

Milk + Honey Day Spa is open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

With reliably friendly service, a clean, modern atmosphere, and ample seating inside and out, you can’t go wrong with a visit to Tutti Frutti Frozen Yogurt. This might just be one of the best places in North Austin to satisfy your sweet tooth (without too much guilt!), as the cafe offers an ever-changing selection of frozen yogurt flavors and a vast array of toppings.

Banana pudding, original tart, cotton candy, and caramel salted popcorn are just a few of the flavors loaded into the colorful self-serve stations along the wall. Dose out your chosen froyo flavor, then add toppings from the toppings bar. There, you'll find cookie dough bites, fresh fruits, granola, and candies, and you can add as many as you want before paying by the ounce at the end.

While the words “gourmet” and “cookout” aren’t normally used in the same sentence, they are at Jasper’s restaurant in Austin. This uniquely conceptual eatery is stylish and upscale, but its menu of so-called backyard cuisine is anything but pretentious.

Enter the sleek, modern dining room, with its dim lighting and artistic décor, and you’ll be met with a menu filled with Maytag bleu cheese potato chips, Texas gulf crab cakes, and Pimentón Rotisserie Chicken, as well as slow-smoked baby back ribs prepared just like they are in backyards all across Texas. Cast iron sides are the perfect accompaniments, and Jasper’s full bar churns out thoughtful cocktails, craft beers and premium wines to go along with the meal. For a gourmet spin on a taste that’s truly Texan, Jasper’s is one of the very best spots in town!

Reservations can be made online or by calling Jasper’s directly.
