This place is a hidden gem! I loved the former Austin Pizza Garden that was formerly in this historic building, but am so glad to have Square Rut there now. The place has a lot of charm and character and is one of my favorite coffee spots in Southwest Austin. The kava options are great, too. I hosted an event here a while back, and the owners were very pleasant to work with. With advanced notice, they can get pizzas made- they are quite good! This is definitely an Oak Hill gem

What a pleasant surprise off of the “beaten path “. The irony of Square Rut Kava is that the 290 construction has seemingly hidden this gem but it is sure to be discovered by many because once you step inside you’ll never leave. Having never tried the magic elixir I was unsure about stepping inside
