Though I've never truly been a patron of the Ruta Maya coffeehouse, finding Little Cit closer to my beaten path, its beans form part of our house blend, and it'll be sorely missed as an institution--the open doors, the many who arrive on bicycles, and the conviviality on the loading dock. It has always reminded me of Spellman's, which nobody mentions any more, though I think we have some pix somewhere. Larry Monroe has passing references to Spellman's at his site, in connection with Townes Van Zandt and maybe Blaze Foley. Mandy Mercier lists it among the her Austin venues. Otherwise Google doesn't bring much to the surface.
