Just east of the University of Texas campus sits the Cherrywood neighborhood, where life-long Austinites mingle with the city’s growing creative class and enjoy a laid back vibe where all the best things are local. The community is as tight-knit as it is diverse and is home to a collection of places that bring people together. It is what Austin does best, at its most authentic. This shaded neighborhood of homes, cafes, bars, shops, and restaurants, owned and frequented by locals, features the kind of places that cultivate ‘regulars’ and are described by newcomers in highest praise as ‘so Austin.’

Cherrywood epitomizes the East Austin vibe. With ample indoor and outdoor seating, free Wi-Fi, and a stage for outdoor concerts and open mic nights, it’s a lovely place to work, eat, drink and listen. And don’t discount the menu. It has some outstanding fare from tacos and burgers to the option to build your own salad, and top it with dressings like avocado ranch and cashew tamari. It’s the kind of chill Eastside spot to get excited about.
