- you see, even us San Antonians can feel when something wandered onto the wrong side of the tracks -
What is it about Twin Sisters that made it so Austin like? Sweet potato muffins, the chocolate zucchini cake, and the short lived beet cake. It's healthy. It's healthy all over. Their zucchini cake consists mostly of zucchini by weight!
Austin provides a very different atmosphere from San Antonio. Everything boasts being organic, eco-friendly, and healthy. Despite that, coming from an emerging foodie, Twin Sisters really belongs to San Antonio for one reason: Twin Sisters hasn't sacrificed taste.
Things in San Antonio just taste better. It's currently 1:38AM and I know two places in San Antonio where I can get a good chicken fried steak. Austin? 0. In Austin, I'd have to resign myself to eating some kind of vegetarian taco or over priced burger, both of which I find very irritating. Austin lacks comfort food. Being organic, and healthy just doesn't compensate for a lack of taste. Twin Sisters can make that compromise in San Antonio, and it has to because the competition in San Antonio dictates, if a place has nothing that tastes good - it goes out of business.
Twin Sisters Bakery and Cafe (San Antonio)
Star Seeds Cafe (Austin) Has a chicken fried steak, but some of the meals here taste like TV dinners, and by some, I mean the meatloaf. Try at your own discretion.
