All Good Things’ Coffee Shop Is Coming to East Cesar Chavez — Here’s What the City Filings Show

All Good Things Studio is turning a former office at 2602 E. Cesar Chavez St. into a permanent coffee shop and event space, and Austin's city permit system just confirmed it's really happening. Three permits filed since Aug. 19 — demolition, a building permit, and a plumbing permit — show a 7,000-square-foot buildout now underway on one of East Austin's busiest food-and-drink blocks.

The founders signed the lease in November 2024. Nearly two years, one supper club, and dozens of brand dinners later, the permits are the first hard proof of a move-in date getting closer.

Who is All Good Things Studio?

All Good Things started in 2023 as ATX Supper Club, a pop-up dinner series built around long communal tables, a set menu, and a DJ. Co-founders Bay Stewart and Hannah Sexton grew it into a full event-production studio, throwing branded dinners and activations for companies like Bumble, Graza, Poppi, The Austin Winery, Heyday Canning Co. and Vacation — the kind of client roster that reads like a highlight reel of buzzy consumer brands doing pop-ups in Austin.

Those dinners have mostly happened at rented venues around town. A recent one, "La Mesa with Kalimotxo," was hosted at Kalimotxo's own space on East 6th Street rather than a home base of their own. That's what the 2602 E. Cesar Chavez buildout is meant to fix: a permanent room the studio doesn't have to borrow.

What do the city permits actually show?

Three filings at 2602 E. Cesar Chavez St., all under permit number 2026-112789, trace a real construction timeline:

That sequence — demo, then a building permit, then plumbing less than three weeks later — is what an active job site actually looks like, not a stalled project sitting on a shelf. The change-of-use language on both the building and plumbing permits is the city's own confirmation that the space is being reclassified from office space to a food-and-beverage/event venue, the same paperwork trail this desk has tracked on other East Austin buildouts before they had public announcements.

Why pick East Cesar Chavez, and why now?

East Cesar Chavez has been one of the more active stretches of East Austin for new food-and-drink buildouts this year. City filings this month alone show a $2.3 million dining-room addition at a restaurant on the 1000 block and a full change-of-use conversion for a new restaurant at 4704 E. Cesar Chavez — both a short walk from All Good Things' future address. It's the same corridor this desk tracked when a Megabus terminal on the block became a tequila-bar taqueria and when a converted house on nearby Shady Lane turned into a $2 million bar, both caught first in the permit filings before either business made a public announcement.

Stewart and Sexton have said the choice wasn't just about real estate. According to the founders' own account on Instagram, before finalizing the buildout they spent six months talking with organizers and community members across the city about what a permanent space should actually offer. "All Good Things was always meant to be a true daily-use community space: somewhere to grab coffee, move your body, meet someone new, host something meaningful, and stay awhile," the team wrote, describing the vision that shaped the design.

"

"Mauve, cream, brown, cobalt, chartreuse. Lived-in, collected, a place you'll want to stay awhile."

That's how the founders described the palette and feel for the space when they first announced picking up the keys in November 2024 — a deliberately un-corporate look for a studio whose day job is producing branded activations for national companies.

What will actually be inside?

Based on the studio's own description of the project, the buildout points toward three uses layered into one space: a daily coffee counter, room for movement classes (the site's language: "coffee, movement, open studio days, dinners"), and a flexible event floor for the private dinners, workshops and brand activations that already make up the studio's business. The Sept. 9 plumbing permit for a coffee-and-event buildout typically covers the bar/coffee station plumbing and any additional restroom work required for public assembly use — consistent with a working café rather than a private office kitchen.

Is it open yet?

No. As of this article's publication, permits are active but not finalized, and All Good Things' own event calendar still routes upcoming dinners to other venues around the city. Nothing here should be read as an opening date — it's a construction timeline, not a launch announcement. ATX Things reached out to All Good Things Studio for comment on a target opening date and will update this piece if we hear back.

What locals should know

• Address: 2602 E. Cesar Chavez St., 78702 — a former office space, not a ground-up build.
• Size: 7,000 square feet, per the founders' own November 2024 announcement.
• Timeline so far: Keys picked up Nov. 2024 → six months of community input → interior demo permit Aug. 19, 2026 → building permit Aug. 31 → plumbing permit Sept. 9.
• What it becomes: A daily coffee shop plus a flexible event and movement space, run by the team behind ATX Supper Club and its brand-dinner arm.
• Not open yet: No public seating, hours or opening date as of publication.

It's fitting timing for a project built around "somewhere to stay awhile" — Austin's stuck in the mid-90s to low 100s this week, and a daily indoor coffee counter on an already-hopping strip is exactly the kind of low-key hangout East Austin is short on during a heat stretch like this one.
