East Austin, Austin · restaurant
Hidden down an alley off Pleasant Valley Road, this tiny café and bakery treats masa with the kind of attention most places reserve for fine dining. Two-day masa biscuits, tortillas whose color changes with the day’s corn, and the Michelin Bib Gourmand (recognized Masa Twinkie) a blue corn sponge filled with chocolate ganache and campfire fluff. Have made it one of Austin’s most distinctive stops. The coffee program follows the same philosophy, built around Mexican-sourced beans infused with ingredients like marigold, moringa leaf, and black lime.
