Visiting Round Rock Honey Company is an experience that you’ll never forget. The owners, Konrad and Elizabeth Bouffard, produce pure Texas wildflower honey with an emphasis on quality over quantity. Their honey is never heated or filtered, and they remove it from the hives by centrifuge so that the pollen, trace minerals, and sugars are never compromised. With hives are spread out all across central Texas, the honey has a unique, rich taste that is different than any honey you’ve ever tasted.

The staff at Round Rock Honey Company is full of knowledge and information and you can really tell that they are passionate about what they do. It is definitely recommended to take a tour of the honey company where you’ll get an overview of the bee and how the staff gets the honey from the hives to the bottle. You’ll even get to see them bottle some of the honey. They’ll also show you the correct way to taste honey, which is pretty intriguing.

Espresso, cocoa, tequila, milk, and fiery mole spices. These are the ingredients that swirl in the Frozen Boozy Coffee at Cosmic Coffee + Beer Garden. Since the bar made its debut in January, its baristas/bartenders have been crafting inventive sips like these. In addition to the "Boozy Coffee," the list of spirits also encompasses more traditional cocktails such as the Keyline Sipper, a mix of vodka, garden-fresh basil and honeydew, and aloe seltzer water.

When Cosmic claims that its ingredients are "garden fresh," it means it. You'll pass the raised garden beds when you walk through the front door, and you can check out the pond out back—which supports aquatic herbs and plants. Cosmic Coffee also boasts a chicken coop, which provides fertilizer for the gardens, and a cistern to collect rainwater for irrigation. The eco-friendly establishment invites local food trucks and musicians to round out the experience with great grub and fresh tunes.

Chef Berty Richter grew up eating Turkish food in Israel, and he never forgot the flavors of his childhood—not when he started working in kitchens near home or when he took his talents to New York City. Eventually, Richter made his way to Austin, and he realized that this foodie-friendly city was lacking in one area: Mediterranean cuisine. So last September, he decided to do something about it. He opened Hummus Among Us.

Hummus Among Us resides in one of Austin's signature food trailer parks at 1906 East Cesar Chavez Street. Savor the classic hummus plate, which showcases a blend of chickpeas, tahini, green chili sauce, olive oil, and herbs and spices. You can also order your hummus topped with smoked brisket shawarma and onions on top. Or savor the slowly smoked meat on top of your Jerusalem nachos, which come smothered with hummus, veggies, herbs and spices, and a boiled egg.
