Café & Bar — South Lamar, Austin

Pour something
worth remembering

Specialty coffee before noon. Craft cocktails after. Same counter, two moods — and everything in between.

Two shifts.
One address.

EX FILES opened on South Lamar with a simple idea: the best conversations happen when the lighting is low and the drink is right. By day we pull espresso and pour pour-overs. By night we shake, stir, and serve cocktails made with ingredients we actually recognise.

The space is intentionally spare — charcoal walls, thin lines, room to breathe. No noise, no fuss. Just good coffee, good spirits, and the kind of counter you want to lean against.
