UPDATE! We returned to Halcyon last night for S'mores (which you roast right at your table!), Bananas Foster Crepes, and coffee. All delicious! They accidentally lost our ticket and took over 30 minutes to serve us-- so they comped all our food! This was just icing on the cake for us, we were enjoying relaxing on their patio and people-watching so much that we didn't even realize how long it had been. Free, delicious food after 30 minutes of relaxation? I hope they lose our ticket next time...

After leaving Austin City Limits Sunday night, we staggered into Halcyon on our way home. Halcyon is a downtown coffee shop/bar that we've passed many times and thought was cute, but never tried. Turns out we were really missing out. This place is awesome.
First of all, it has a great outdoor patio area that's perfect for people-watching. And the interior is cozy- tons of tables, couches, and a nice bar area.
We decided to eat outside so we could watch everyone else limp home from ACL while we relaxed. Here's our iced latte and vanilla frappe, $3.70 each:
My Nutella crepe. I love these things. It was hard to pick between the Nutella crepe and the bananas foster crepe, but not that hard. Nutella always wins in the end. The crepe was only $4, so I was expecting one crepe with a little Nutella thrown on a plate. Instead, it was 2 delicious crepes filled with Nutella, covered with chocolate sauce and finished off with whipped cream. So good!
Ryan's carrot cake, $6. Also very delicious. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to fill up on caffeine and sugar before bed... oh well. It was worth it.
