Cream Currant Scone with Cafe au lait
Only really having the day I arrive to explore Austin, I flew on the earliest flight out of Atlanta into Austin in order to max out my eating time. Arriving into the great state of Texas at 9:45am, I grabbed a taxi to the center of Austin; had made a reservation for Swift’s Attic at 11:00am and wanted to be sure I was well positioned to hit the first stop of the day.
Obviously I would get there early and was now faced with figuring out what to do next. Luckily, next door to Swift’s Attic was Annies Cafe & Bar and decided to try some coffee and baked goods (per their sign).
The scone was good. Flaky, buttery, and light. Definitely ate more food than I should have; not the first or last time that’ll be said.

Barley Swine | Austin, Texas USA
Barley Swine Menu
Chef Bryce Gilmore and team plating evening’s grouper special
Watermelon gazpacho, mint yogurt, smoked tomato, sumac
Grouper, blackened butternut squash, ham, coconut milk, jalapeno
Grilled Goat Heart; curried eggplant, figs, falafel
Grilled lamb sausage, tomato, fried chickpea cake, basil
Per the recommendation of Justin Fox of Fox Brothers BBQ, Chef Bryce Gilmore’s Barley Swine was a place not to miss. As I only had 24 hours in Austin, I definitely made this restaurant a priority. A surprise was that the Grilled Goat Heart was my favorite dish of the evening; followed by the grouper and blackened squash. Unfortunately as we had a reservation to Uchi soon, we were unable to order down the list. Will have to make another trip.
