Genuine Joe Coffee House closing on Anderson Lane but will relocate

Facing the redevelopment of his coffee shop, Josh Brown found a helping hand in the form of longtime customer, father Billy Tweedie, whose nearby church will serve as the new home for the Crestview favorite.

There existed a time — when many in Austin might have thought a Chemex pour-over was a method to treat a clogged shower, and ordering coffee from an app was still a twinkle in Steve Jobs’ eye — that coffee shops here served as relaxed meeting spots, refuges for slackers and those working in their minds and not their laptopped silos.

The Ocean House in Dennis Port has Pan Asian food, spectacular views

On a recent balmy and breezy Monday evening, The Ocean House’s executive chef, Tom Woods, and celebrity chef Ming Tsai worked to prepare appetizers for 80 at side-by-side tables in a tent outside the Dennis Port restaurant.
