Rank 36. Mercado Sin Nombre
Mexican Coffee
A walk down a flower-strung alley to a window where you order, then you hang out under the cafe lights and wait. That's the whole vibe at this East Austin coffee spot, which keeps the menu tight and builds everything around heirloom Mexican corn and serious specialty coffee. The pastries alone are worth the trip. Grab a biscuit, grab an espresso, and let whoever's behind you worry about finding parking.
