Um, it’s NOT called “Las Manitas Florist”– it’s Las Manitas Avenue Cafe. Where’d you get the ‘florist’ part???

That is how it is listed at Citysearch and Austin TX Pubcrawler.com and Insider Pages and maps.citysearch.com and numerous other places. I didn't make it up. It doesn't say "Florist" in the window (it says Congress Cafe, if I recall correctly), and it ain't a florist. But apparently the owner or someone connected with the business registered it as Las Manitas Florist for reasons unknown, and that is how it is listed all over the place, so that is the nomenclature I used.

Las Manitas is indeed a great place for breakfast! And, it's in danger of no longer existing, because it sits on land that is being eyed as the location for a new Marriot hotel. I think there's a petition going around to try and save the place. Make sure you sign, while you're in town. :)
