E Sa-Tén Coffee

Coffeehouse, Japanese, Vegetarian/Vegan • East • $10-$25

Creativity is fueled by serious coffee here, including a robust 16-hour cold brew. It's perfect for pairing with their selection of Rosen's bagels. Japanese-style toast anchors most of the food offerings, whether as the main event or a side. The toast forms the foundation to everything from grilled vegetables (yasai) to egg spread (nori tama).

This combination restaurant/deli/grocery/bakery/cooking school draws patrons from beyond South Austin for some of the best Thai in Texas. Many don't even realize the bakery is gluten-free because the products are so satisfying.
