DOUGHNUTS! DOWNTOWN!

It goes without saying that I love Austin, but one of my long-held frustrations with Our Fair City is that there hasn't been a proper doughnut shop downtown... until now. Behold the locally owned and operated BakerMan's Bakery, now open 24 hours during SXSW at 7th and Brazos (central to the Stephen F. Austin, Driskill and Omni hotels). I popped in the other night and was thrilled to see they not only stock caffeine-free Coke, but also Austin's own Sweet Leaf Tea (and coffee from Texas Coffee Traders). Plus, SXSW badge holders get $1 off any $10 purchase. I love this place!
