The team from RG Properties played host to a Coffee and Bagel event Friday May 4 in the lobby of Austin Landing I. The event took place as a tenant appreciation event, thanking the current office tenants of the building for helping to make Austin Landing a great place to work.

More than 150 gourmet coffee drinks and fresh fruit smoothies were served by Coffee Caboose Owners Jenny and Tony. Coffee drinks included Cappucino, Raspberry Chuckle, S’more Latte, Zebra Mocha and Chai Tea, among several other creative offerings.

However, with the weather heating up in the region, smoothies were the drink of choice, as people were lining up to order their favorite flavors.

A variety of gourmet bagels and muffins, as well as a variety of cream cheese, were available as well, from My Favorite Muffin.

Turnout was great, and RG is vigorously working to host more great events throughout the development as the Austin Landing community grows bigger and better every day.
