A visit to Emerald City Press is not unlike walking into a bar full of friends that are just so happy to see you. "Hey, how was your weekend?" "Girl, that dress is cute! Where'd you get it?" "Ugh. I had a date from hell last night." The line between customer and server is indeed blurred at this hoppin' North Lamar joint, which only adds to its laid-back Austin charm. At just 7 months old, the drive-through/walk-up coffee shop/newsstand offers an ever-growing menu of top-notch drinks (try the agave lemonade and their famous soft serve with a shot of espresso), pastries, and tacos, as well as fresh flowers and gifts, but the staff is the heart, and it's all made with love.
