If you’re seeking quality non-alcoholic options or simply in the mood to double-fist an espresso and a shot of tequila, check out this cheery oasis’ pink picnic table–laden patio. Operating as a cafe and coffee shop during the day, Better Half transforms into a lively spot for cocktails and grub come evening. Start with the Waiting for Coffman, a perfect blend of booze and housemade cold brew, alongside an order of cauliflower tots, which are so tasty you’re bound to forget the myriad ways cauliflower has been slowly replacing all our beloved carbs.How to book: Stop by for first come, first served seating.

Post up at Better Half in Clarksville when you need a good all-day spot to work on the latest draft of your business plan, or when you need to catch up on all the memes you’ve missed in the past week. Grab a coffee in the morning, then slowly transition over to cocktails as the day progresses. There’s a dedicated parking lot, so you don’t have to worry about feeding the parking app, and there’s a food menu with everything from biscuit sandwiches to a very good cheeseburger, for when you eventually remember to eat something.

Local critics consistently rank this West Sixth Street hot spot as one of the area's best restaurants, and the sprawling patio is almost always packed. It's a lovely downtown-adjacent atmosphere to enjoy upscale, indulgent takes on juicy burgers and pastrami (as a sandwich or a queso topping), and with great coffee and cocktails served all day to boot. There are even more burgers at the Quonset hut next door, where Hold Out Brewing slings food and beer all day.

Brew & Brew folks, Better Half gave Clarksville another stellar breakfast spot. Here, breakfast sandwiches, grain bowls and burgers are served, along with heftier items like chicken fried steak, pickle brined fried chicken and Texas redfish from chef Rich Reimbolt. You'll find biscuits with Tasso ham, house preserves, and honey and jalapeño butter, as well as sides that include hushpuppies, cauliflower tots and fries.

Parked squarely amid the hustle and bustle of downtown Austin, this West Fifth Street hot spot could have easily faded into its noisy surroundings and become just another flash in the pan. Luckily, for neighborhood locals who appreciate both a lively morning meal and a lip-smacking evening burger with a side of pastrami-loaded queso and a few stiff cocktails, this all-day cafe is here to stay. This neighborhood joint recently updated its menu, rolling out tempting new dishes like crispy pork belly with refried black-eyed peas, and shrimp and crab-finger orzotto, a must-have risotto-style plate.

When Better Half’s trio of owners first moved into their Clarksville digs in 2018, Matthew Bolick says there was a bit of an intimidation factor to the neighborhood. Coming from the laid-back confines of their East Side coffee shop, Brew & Brew, the regular sight of Maseratis and a well-coiffed clientele had them hesitating on what they did best. Or, as Bolick explains: “We didn’t dare be too loud.” Three years later, they’ve not only ditched those informal rules (old guard wine, and “safer” crowd-pleasers like chicken-fried steak), they’ve completely rewritten the playbook for casual dining.

Luckily, this all-day cafe on West 5th Street is open from early until late, because you never know when you’ll find yourself with an insatiable craving for their amazing food. Their breakfast sandwiches are downright perfect, with a fried farm egg on a house English muffin with crispy hash browns, arugula, and smoked paprika or aioli. If you head here later in the day, try their juicy cheeseburger with cauliflower tots and beet ketchup before finishing off with a homemade burnt Basque cheesecake with cherries for dessert.

It totally makes sense for restaurants to be able to open as a coffee shop in the morning, then transition to a restaurant for lunch/dinner and be able to be profitable all day long. And I love how these places, like Better Half Bar, are often bigger spaces to allow plenty of space to meet up with some friends or work on a laptop for a couple hours. Better Half has an adorable interior, a giant back patio, and lots of parking…quite the luxury considering its downtown location!
