Besides being a lot more reasonably priced than Congress street, Room Service is a lot more fun. The store looks great, and you can tell the people that set it up love the things they are displaying! It's also a lot more convenient and yet off the beaten path, in a cute little area in the heart of Austin. Look often, the store always has new stuff too. As long as you are in the area, go visit Donkey Music - a great little music store that I had never heard of until I saw it across from Room Service -and Hogwild - just to look at all the toys! Actually, don't forget to go to the Japanese store to the west of Hogwild too. They have Pocky and maneki-neko's.
Pros: fun place, great merchandise, reasonable prices
