If you’re always on the hunt for the best coffee shops in Austin, you’ll definitely want to add Lamppost Coffee to your list of must-tries. Flavored lattes with names like the Summer Moon, Winter Moon, and Autumn Moon are delicious alternatives to your usual drip brew, but if you’re a fan of the classics, those are very tasty as well.

Flix Brewhouse: Beer, Burgers and First-Run Flicks

August 13, 2015 by

Flix Brewhouse isn't really like any other theater-restaurant hybrid. Each of its locations (there are three throughout Texas) boasts its very own microbrewery in-house. So beers come fresh from the brew room, and you're welcome to sample any of them before deciding on just one. There are nine house-brewed beers available, plus 38 more on tap.

Order one as soon as you sit down in one of the stadium "dining rooms." A server will stroll up to grab your drink request, then step back and let you look over the menu. Pizzas, salads, burgers, and even tacos are offered, not to mention decadent desserts such as bourbon pecan pie and warm peach galettes. Dig into your food and sip your brews while you watch the first-run movie splashed across the screen. Flix Brewhouse enlists the most contemporary technology to ensure crystal clear picture and sound at every screening.

Ride the Slide or Float the Lazy River at Rock’N River Family Aquatic Center

August 6, 2015 by

Within Round Rock's popular Old Settlers Park resides the Rock'N River Family Aquatic Center, a beloved local attraction in its own right. The sprawling water park boasts more than 40,000 square feet of splashy fun, making it the perfect spot to cool off on a sweltering Texas day.

The playground promises refreshing fun for everyone in your clan with its many different rides and slides. Take a leisurely float down the Lazy River if your companions include smaller kids, or splash around at the pool. Children can rush through the tunnel showers and get soaked in the process or shoot a water cannon toward an unsuspecting playmate. Even older kids will appreciate a trip to Rock'N River Family Aquatic Center thanks to its collection of snaking slides, which send riders hurtling toward a big splash.

Fun Is Accessible for Every Child at Play for All Abilities Park

March 12, 2015 by

Play for All Abilities Park is arguably one of Round Rock's best parks—and one of the most inclusive. After some serious planning, the community was able to come together to create a play area that is accessible to all children. Under professional guidance, the park was designed to facilitate safe and stimulating play for children of all abilities.

Visitors to the park enjoy the wide variety of play structures, like swings, sand boxes, a miniature town (complete with an HEB grocery!) to explore, and instruments. There are plenty of areas to sit under the shade in hot Texas summers and a fence with only one entrance encloses the entire area for maximum safety. Play for All Abilities Park is open daily, from 6 a.m. to midnight.

Round Rock Honey Company: Texas Made Sweetness

December 12, 2013 by

Honey harvested in the Lone Star State is what you’ll find at the Round Rock Honey Company. Located on the Chisholm Trail near Round Rock Industrial Park, this is a family operation that specializes in an all-natural sweet treat. It also has a taste unique to the state because Round Rock Honey Company harvests its product from hives all over the state, from bees making the finest wildflower honey. Not only does it taste good, honey is also good at preventing local allergies! And it’s easy to find at local farmers markets, selected grocery stores and even online for delivery to your home. You can get a bottle as small as eight ounces or as large as a gallon. The containers are even good, with the large bottles equipped with a spout and made of glass so they can be re-used or recycled!
