South Austin’s idyllic Leona Botanical Cafe & Bar, a collab between the Veracruz All Natural and DEE DEE teams, knows that even those of us who are lashed to a laptop deserve to feel the sun on our face. The beautiful grounds boast 20 different tree species, a teeming garden, and a tranquil stream, providing a calming retreat for worker bees and the leisure class alike. All that nature isn’t just healing, it’s hungry-making, and you’ve got options: Leona’s main cafe – and bar, if it’s after the work whistle blows – plus the Mexican and Thai noms you already love from Veracruz and DEE DEE. Their next co-pro? An on-site burger bar.
