Russell's

Mon-Sat, 7am-6pm; Sun, 8am-1pm

Who would've thought a former filling station would make such an inviting neighborhood bakery and coffee shop? Russell's carries a fine assortment of cakes, cookies, and sandwiches along with coffee, juices, and Italian sodas. The peanut butter and chocolate chip cookie is a particularly tasty reward. With quick access via the Hancock Drive overpass, it is a convenient place to wile away a lazy morning regardless of what side of MoPac you live on.
