ATX-CPF: Impact 10/2/2025

Godsent Coffee officially opened on Sept. 2 at Anderson Mill Food Truck Court.

About the owners: Owners Yunik Sung and Yejin Kang started the business after learning the foundations of coffee roasting in South Korea, according to the website's about page. After working at a coffee company in the U.S., Sung created Godsent Coffee to honor his faith. 

On the menu: Menu items include classic espresso-based coffee drinks, tea lattes, matcha drinks and more. The coffee truck features two signature drinks, the almond splendor made with almond foam, godsent milk and a double shot of espresso and the golden splendor made with corn cream foam, godsent milk and a double shot of espresso. 

All sauces and syrups are also house-made at Godsent, according to the menu, to ensure freshness and flavor.

A second Gelatoro location is now open on Anderson Mill Road. Owner Sabri Gulsay launched the new location two years after the first brick-and-mortar opened in Hyde Park in 2023, according to previous Community Impact reporting.

On the menu: The menu features gelato flavors like buttered caramel with salt, espresso sorbetto, amarena cherry and banana pudding, all of which are made from scratch. The shop also has vegan and dairy free options. Gelatoro shares new and returning flavors on their Instagram page.

Thousands of music fans will gather at Zilker Park for the Austin City Limits Music Festival, taking place Oct. 3-5 and Oct. 10-12.

What you need to know: Zilker Park is closed to public access Sept. 22-Oct. 19, with road closures nearby. Expect lane reductions or full closures on Stratford Drive, Barton Springs Road, Jessie Street, Azie Morton Road, Stephen F. Austin Drive, Veterans Drive, Rollingwood Drive, and eastbound Bee Cave Road. Limited or shuttle-only access will also be in effect on streets near the park.

The city’s transportation and public works department has an interactive street closure map to view road closure and lane reduction schedules. Parking will be restricted, with several Zilker lots closed through Oct. 19. Limited parking is available at Butler Shores, Riverside Drive, Veterans Drive, and Polo Field. Heavy congestion is expected near MoPac.

What else? Cyclists should anticipate dense pedestrian traffic. Barton Creek Greenbelt, Butler Hike and Bike Trail, and Barton Springs Pool—south gate only—remain open.

Williamson County will be under a burn ban for up to 90 days due to drought conditions, following commissioner approval Sept. 30.

The details: While the burn ban is in effect, residents may not burn combustible materials, including leaves, grass, brush and trees, outside of an enclosure that contains all flames and sparks. Violations are punishable with a fine of up to $500.

The order will be in effect for 90 days unless lifted earlier by the commissioners or County Judge Steve Snell if drought conditions improve.

The cause: Drought conditions, especially on the east side of the county, have contributed to high and very high fire danger risk this week, Williamson County Fire Marshal Mike Lugo said at the meeting.

“We’re trying to stay ahead of the fire risk [and] fire danger,” Lugo said.
