Day-to-Night Coffee and Wine Shops and Barbecue Rule Austin in June Openings
Every month, a new crop of restaurants opens in and around Austin. While everyone loves a good sushi spot, food truck, or outdoor patio, this round-up will give you the high-end spots and the low-end spots that are new to town — be they good, bad, or so bad they're good/so good they're bad. Whether it's a locally owned restaurant or the latest addition of a chain, here's what's happening in the world of restaurant openings in Austin and beyond for the month. Send your openings news to austin@ 2614 East Cesar Chavez Street Coffee by day and wine by night? That's what the folks in this renovated bungalow house from the 1920s in East Austin are serving up. The folks who own the cocktail bar Small Victory got together with the people at Figure 8 Coffee to create a space for morning, noon, and night. The wines are selected by Small Victory's buyer, as well as small bites like a bread and cheese basket, cookies, and pastries; the new spot will also host pop-ups with food trucks from around the city. There's a nice big outdoor patio in what used to be the backyard. Less of a ballroom and more of a converted corrugated metal storage building that's now a restaurant, this spot has all kinds of goodness hiding inside. It's a coffee shop (beans by Figure 8) with light bites and brunch dishes by day and a cocktail bar by night. The most substantial menu items are brunch bites like classic eggs Benedict, brioche French toast, a bacon-and-egg breakfast sandwich on brioche, a double smash burger, and two eggs with a Texas-sourced Akaushi New York strip steak. There are also matchas, teas, pastries, and breakfast tacos. Try fun cocktails like the Tiki Too Much (rum, pineapple, passion fruit, crème de banane, coconut, and pomegranate) or Puerto Punch (mezcal, ginger, cassis, and blackberry). Now open in the Central Austin Public Library is a second location of Café Crème. As a family-owned, French-Vietnamese restaurant and coffee shop, the cafe is known for serving up crepes and lattes with notable art dribbled in them — think cats, dogs, and even bears, oh my. It's creme brulee latte is a fan-favorite, and the kolaches and breakfast tacos here have a strong following, too. This hand location offers diners a chance to pop in and support their local library while getting a coffee and a little treat. 205 East Austin Street in Fredericksburg Out in Hill Country, a new hotel means a new barbecue joint. The Albert Hotel in Fredericksburg is home to Junebug's BBQ, which is in the historic Brockmann-Kiehne house — the hotel took over several historic properties in the city to cobble together a complex of sorts. Chef Justin Spencer created the menu, which features a menu of brisket, spare ribs, turkey, pulled pork, baby back ribs, sausage (regular and jalapeño), and chicken. The sides are classic, going all in on potato salad, green beans, coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, beans, and a baked potato casserole — a very Dickey's coded-menu. There's also a stage for live music. This barbecue spot hits all the notes, with Texas-style brisket, Alabama pulled pork, Memphis-style ribs, and sauces inspired from the Carolinas. Founder Daniel Monplaisir is especially interested in Texas and Alabama barbecue traditions. In addition to meats by the pound, it offers brisket and pulled pork sandwiches, barbecue plates, and sides like bacon macaroni and cheese, creamed corn, baked beans, and a mayo-based cole slaw. After closing its space in the Frances Modern Inn in February, Italian cafe Poeta has reopened in East Austin this spring. In its new space, there is an outdoor garden cafe as well as indoor, and the floors get an upgrade to a lovely dark wood. The restaurant will continue to serve favorites from its seasonal menu, with dishes like tuna carpaccio, roasted beets with avocado, pork sausage rigatoni with tomato butter, and glistening wagyu steaks.

Made-to-order onigiri rice ball hotel breakfast buffet in Tokyo is open (and awesome) to all
A handmade way to start the day in downtown Tokyo's most traditional neighborhood. They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and that's especially true for travel breakfasts. Starting off with a solid, satisfying breakfast gives you some extra flexibility in picking when and where you'll eat lunch, since you won't have to slam the brakes on sightseeing and exploring because you're starving by 11 o'clock. And if you're looking for an especially memorable breakfast in Asakusa, Tokyo's most culturally traditional neighborhood, we've got just the place. You'll find it at Ichi no Ichi, which is a restaurant located on the third floor of the Asakusa Tobu Hotel. Don't worry, though, the breakfast buffet is open to non-guests, so you can treat it like you would any other restaurant, and with the building located just one minute from Asakusa Station, it's super easy to slot into whatever other plans you have for your time in the neighborhood. The fare is a mix of Japanese and Western-style dishes, so you can get things like pancakes, bacon, and sausages… …or Japanese staples like simmered kabocha (Japanese pumpkin), grilled fish, and tofu. These are all pretty standard at Japanese breakfast buffets, but what makes this one special is the onigiri (rice balls). Instead of just putting out a plate of them, the buffet has an onigiri bar, where a chef makes yours to order! Just tell the chef what kind of topping you'd like, and he'll press the ingredients into the rice by hand. During our visit the options included Hokkaido salmon, Fukuoka mentaiko (spicy cod roe), and Seto Inland Sea chirimen (young sardines), but you can also request a simple no-topping onigiri sprinkled with salt. On the other end of the spectrum, the buffet's onigiri bar also offers decadent cheese-covered grilled onigiri. Once your onigiri are ready, a server will bring them to your table, along with nori (dried seaweed) for you to wrap them in. Fresh and delicious, and with a perfect, hand-crafted density, they were immensely satisfying. Each individual onigiri is a little on the small side, but since this is a buffet you can always go back for more, and the sensibly sized portions also leave you with enough space to try multiple toppings, and to enjoy the buffet's other dishes too. Speaking of other dishes, the Western-style offerings were no slouch either, with the eggs Benedict being an especially tasty standout. The Asakusa Tobu Hotel/Ichi no Ichi breakfast buffet is open daily from 6:30 to 10 a.m., priced at 2,750 yen (US$19) for adults and 1,430 yen for kids aged 4 to 12.
