Strangelove
A collaboration between the teams behind Small Victory cocktail bar and Figure 8 Coffee, Strangelove transforms a beautifully restored 1930s bungalow into a dual-concept space: specialty coffee by morning, natural wine bar by evening. Colorful built-ins, vintage cafe tables, and a dreamy string-lit patio make it one of East Austin's most charming destinations.
