About

Dear Diary is an all-vegan East Austin coffeehouse with creative lattes, breakfast tacos, seitan kolaches, and a rotating case of pastries. Cushioned tables, community journals, local-art displays, and occasional events make it easy to settle in, though one reviewer found the tacos dry and the food pricey.
