About Barrett’s Coffee

Barrett’s has been a proud part of the Austin coffee community for almost a decade. While their first cafe location opened nine years ago in 2017, the team has been roasting coffee locally since the mid-1990s. Owner Travis Kizer has decades of experience sourcing and roasting beans, building strong connections in both the local and global coffee community since 1992.

The original North Lamar location (713 W St. Johns Ave.) is still home to their daily roasting and packaging activities. They recently expanded their offerings to a second location, Barrett’s Too, which features a full bar and kitchen alongside their house-roasted coffee.

Sourcing Responsibly & Giving Back

Barrett’s purchases directly from farms and brokers located across Honduras, Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Peru, and Ethiopia. They specifically source fair trade, organic certified, and women-produced coffees that help give back, funding local K-12 schools, women’s programs, recycling initiatives, and computer labs.

They also love sustainable innovation. Check out their newly launched Bubbs Seltzer. They are one of only four companies in the country to offer this reusable, sustainable siphon-bottled seltzer, delivered for free right to your doorstep.

San Antonio Food Bank Restaurant Weeks 2026: Dine Out to Fight Hunger

San Antonio Food Bank Restaurant Weeks is taking place now through June 20, 2026. Photo: San Antonio Food Bank, used with permission.

San Antonio Food Bank Restaurant Weeks Returns: A Farm-to-Table Experience

The San Antonio Food Bank is thrilled to announce the return of its annual San Antonio Food Bank Restaurant Weeks, taking place from June 6 to June 20, 2026. This innovative initiative brings together some of San Antonio’s most beloved restaurants to fight hunger and feed hope through the power of locally grown food. (San Antonio Food Bank, 2026)

The Farm-to-Table Difference

What sets this event apart is its direct connection to the San Antonio Food Bank’s on-site agricultural program. Located at its main campus, the Food Bank cultivates 25 acres of fresh, seasonal produce that is distributed to families in need across Southwest Texas.

For a limited time, these same nutrient-rich ingredients will make their way into the kitchens of participating restaurants, creating a meaningful farm-to-table experience that gives back.

Each participating restaurant will feature a signature dish centered around an on-site harvest, bringing their own culinary perspective to the plate. Together, these offerings celebrate San Antonio’s dynamic dining scene while spotting the Food Bank’s innovative and sustainable approach to addressing food insecurity.

“Last year marked the launch of The San Antonio Food Bank Restaurant Weeks, and the response from our community was both powerful and inspiring. We are bringing it back this year because the need is still there, and we will never stop working to make a difference. This campaign plays a vital role in supporting our Summer Meals for Kids initiative and helping ensure no child goes without a meal during the summer months.” — Eric Cooper, President & CEO of the San Antonio Food Bank

How Your Dining Experience Makes a Difference

Proceeds from each featured dish will directly benefit the Food Bank’s Summer Meals for Kids campaign—a critical program designed to bridge the 20 million meal gap children face during summer break, providing vital nutrition for youth who may otherwise go without.

The Impact by the Numbers:

  • The Goal: Each establishment has committed to raising at least $300 through the event.
  • The Power of $1: Every single dollar raised equates to seven meals for local children.
  • How to Give: Diners can support the cause by enjoying signature dishes at participating restaurants, where $1 from each dish sold is donated back to the Food Bank.
  • Bonus Ways to Help: Each restaurant will feature a unique QR code, allowing guests to contribute toward that restaurant’s fundraising goal either in-store or online.

Participating Restaurants Include:

  • Supper at Hotel Emma
  • Pharm Table
  • The Jerk Shack
  • Sari-Sari Filipino Restaurant & Market
  • Naco Mexican Eatery (featuring James Beard Award semifinalist Chef Francisco Estrada)
  • …and many more!

What is ThoroughFare?

The new space features:

  • A Full-Service Drink Bar: Serving coffee, matcha, smoothies, and fresh juices.
  • A Café & Bakery: Serving up signature toasts, sandwiches, soups, and salads.
  • The Market: Stocked with 170 house-made products including condiments, salad dressings, butters, jams, and nut butters, all of which are the exact same ingredients they use on their own café menu.

The ThoroughFare Promise: They pride themselves on making as many products as possible completely in-house. That means zero seed oils, artificial additives, preservatives, colors, flavors, gums, or fillers. No shortcuts. Just real food.

The Story Behind the Concept

The seed for ThoroughFare was planted back in 2015 during a trip to Maine taken by Co-Founder and CEO Ryan Goebel and his mother. Eating almost entirely from local producers, Ryan noticed the food tasted richer and left them feeling noticeably better.

He realized the magic lay in how the food was produced and the short distance it traveled to the table. Ryan brought this holistic philosophy back to Austin, opening ThoroughBread in 2018 to immediate critical acclaim. ThoroughFare is the natural evolution of that dream, reimagining the way grocers operate by letting you take home the exact ingredients used in their kitchen.

“This began years ago with a simple belief – that food should just be food. Made with real ingredients, without unnecessary shortcuts, and brought to people at its best. ThoroughFare is built on that standard, and we’re proud to finally open our doors and share it with our community.” — Ryan Goebel, Co-Founder & CEO

See you at the block party!

Radiant Skin Starts Here: Don’t Miss Vitamin C Week at Hiatus Day Spa • Med Spa

Get ready for summer skin at Hiatus Day Spa • Med Spa with Vitamin C Week. Photo: Hiatus Day Spa • Med Spa, used with permission.

Your skin is your body’s first line of defense against the sun and environmental pollutants, making protection essential for long-term health. Ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause premature aging, sunburn, and increase the risk of skin cancer. Environmental factors like pollution and harsh weather conditions can accelerate skin damage, leading to dryness, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Using sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and maintaining a skincare routine with antioxidants can help shield your skin from harm. Hydration and a healthy diet also support skin resilience. Prioritizing skin protection today ensures healthier, more youthful skin in the future.

As sunny days are finally approaching, Hiatus Day Spa • Med Spa is celebrating with Vitamin C Week, running April 1st to 7th. Protecting against sun and environmental damage is always important, especially as the UV increases with the Texas heat. (Hiatus Day Spa • Med Spa, 2025)

Vitamin C helps protect, brighten, and rejuvenate while boosting collagen and defending against environmental damage. Guests can enjoy Vitamin C week with 15% off best-selling SkinCeuticals antioxidant products, including C E Ferulic, Phloretin CF & Gel, Silymarin CF, AOX+ Eye Gel, and Resveratrol B E. Additionally, purchase three full-sized bottles and receive a large travel-size (15ML) PTIOX serum as a complimentary gift (while supplies last).

Appointments with skin care specialists who can help select the right Vitamin C serum for each skin type can be booked here.
