Hey there, Austin! We’ve got some delicious news to share that’s sure to get your taste buds tingling. The beloved biscuit shop Little Ola’s, a creation born out of the pandemic, is set to open its second location in the vibrant Mueller neighborhood in early 2025!
The upcoming Little Ola’s will be located at 1905 Aldrich Street, Suite 110, taking over the spot that was previously home to the popular cafe and bar, Halcyon. While Halcyon is now closed, the exciting buzz around Little Ola’s is sure to bring a fresh flavor to the area.
If you haven’t experienced Little Ola’s yet, you’re in for a treat! The new Mueller café will continue to serve its scrumptious buttermilk biscuit sandwiches. Get ready to dive into a delightful range of options—both sweet and savory. Craving something savory? Try the honey-butter fried chicken or the classic tomato-egg-cheese. For a sweet bite, you might adore the peanut butter-raspberry jam or peach jam-butter sandwiches. And for those who love a classic biscuit, there will be a la carte biscuits as well!
But wait, there’s more! Little Ola’s will also offer delicious cinnamon rolls made with biscuit dough, ensuring that there’s something for everyone when you visit. Are you thirsty? You’re in luck! The café will serve up house-made lemonades and Arnold Palmers, along with a range of espressos and various teas. And here’s a little cherry on top: Little Ola’s has a liquor license, allowing you to indulge in boozy brunch drinks or enjoy a cocktail with your meal!
Little Ola’s isn’t just another eatery in town; it’s a story of resilience and creativity. It started as a pandemic pivot for the renowned Southern restaurant Olamaie. In July 2020, when dine-in services became tricky, they transformed their operations, leading to the opening of the first Little Ola’s in Wells Branch a year later. This innovative move didn’t go unnoticed; the café even snagged the Eater Award for best pandemic pivot-turned-permanent shop in 2022!
This impressive expansion is being spearheaded by Jules Stoddart, managing partner and pastry chef for Little Ola’s. She, alongside the talented team at the MaieB Hospitality Group, is dedicated to bringing unique and delicious flavors to the Austin food scene. The group’s founder and executive chef, Michael Fojtasek, is well-known for his incredible work in numerous venues like Olamaie, the casual Redbud Ice House, and the well-loved Gimme Burger food truck.
Austin’s love for biscuits doesn’t stop there. Just a few blocks away, downtown Austin’s Fixe is planning its own biscuit-focused café, Hissy Fit, in the Arboretum set to open in fall 2024! How fantastic to see so many options springing up in the city!
As we look forward to Little Ola’s opening its doors in the Mueller neighborhood and providing even more delicious biscuits to the Austin community, the anticipation is building. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Little Ola’s or trying it out for the first time, be ready for the biscuit extravaganza that awaits!
So mark your calendars for early 2025, Austin! Biscuit lovers unite, because something scrumptious is coming your way!
