New BIZ: Airy Mount opens in Burnet
Burnet has a new coffee shop, Airy Mount, which recently opened at 1819 E. Polk Street. The shop offers coffees, teas, blue matcha, ice cream, merchandise, and more.
“Airy Mount is a historic property that is home to three of the oldest structures in Burnet County,” owner Sunny Shipley told DailyTrib. “We are so excited to be able to open it up to the community so everyone can enjoy a piece of history and find a new home away from home.”
The cafe held its grand opening in November following a successful soft opening last summer.
Airy Mount is open Monday-Friday from 7:30 a.m.- 6 p.m., Saturday from 8 a.m.- 4 p.m., and is closed on Sundays.
“Airy Mount” refers to the property the cafe rests on. It was the original homestead of Adam Rankin Johnson, who named the property and is famous for founding Marble Falls and helping to tame the Texas frontier in the 19th century. While the building that houses the new ice cream parlor is not one of the original structures from the property, the barn beside it was built in the early 1880s.
