We love putting the Scoop together each week, and it’s even better knowing it lands with neighbors like you. Our favorite way to grow is through word of mouth, and referrals truly are the best compliment.

So if you enjoy the Scoop and know someone else who would too, send them our way! Think of it as having a built-in plus-one for local events, new restaurants, or volunteer opportunities. Everything is more fun with a friend, and we’d love to welcome them into the crew.

Also, if you know anyone in the Round Rock area, point them to Round Rock Scoop so they don’t miss out on what’s happening in their neck of the woods. Thanks, as always, for the incredible support!

🧸 Play, sip, and connect at Little Leaps Café

3550 N. Lakeline Blvd., Leander

Opening late 2025, Little Leaps Play Café is designed for kids to explore and parents to recharge. The family-owned spot will feature imaginative play areas, storytimes, and parent-child classes, alongside a cozy café serving coffee, smoothies, and snacks.

Founders Angela and Max Simpson created it as a community hub where families can connect, kids can grow, and no parent feels like they’re doing it all alone. We can’t wait to check this one out!

🌄 Teeing off with canyon views

3400 Crystal Falls Pkwy, Leander

Set among canyons and rolling hills, Crystal Falls Golf Club delivers a scenic round that keeps players on their toes. Tight fairways, steep elevations, and well-kept greens make the course both challenging and rewarding.

Golf carts include GPS for easy navigation, and the on-site Cork and Barrel menu ranges from fish and chips to a quick hot dog at the turn. With welcoming staff and solid value, it’s easy to see why this course is a local favorite.

📖 A Friendship Book Kids Will Treasure

My Friends and I is a friendship book created by local mom Birgit Sund of Jonestown. It’s designed for kids ages 5–12 to pass around and fill with all their favorites, their future dreams, and photos. Think of it as part yearbook, part memory book, and all heart.

With a new school year underway, it’s a sweet way for kids to connect, make new friends, and create a keepsake packed with personality. The book is available online and in local shops across Leander, Cedar Park, Liberty Hill, and more.

We have copies for our own kiddos, and they have been hooked. They want everyone to join in: friends, cousins, teachers. There has even been talk of leaving them out for Santa to fill out in December! It’s super cute, loads of fun, and we love supporting a local mom’s creative work.

Meet Poke, a 3-year-old medium mixed breed with a sleek black coat and a heart full of hope. This gentle girl is shy at first and can be cautious around strangers, especially men, but with patience and treats she warms up beautifully.

Poke is a brave tripod who lost her front leg in an accident, yet she is quickly mastering life with three legs. She will do best as the only pet in a calm home with older kids. Adoption fee is $225 in Leander.
