When TOMS sought to open their second store in the U.S., they looked no further than eclectic catch-all, South Congress. The TOMS Store Austin is a retail and coffee shop hybrid located in a gorgeous, repurposed house and no surprise to TOMS customers or SoCo flaneurs: a cozy bohemian vibe. The space is open, airy, bright and offers the perfect escape from the street. Grab a bag of their Carpe Diem espresso beans to-go, or order a drink and take a breather. And just like the shoes, any purchase made at this establishment – shoes, shades, or sacks of beans – helps another in need.
