296 W Mercer St. Dripping Springs, TX 78620 We will meet in the parking lot between EDWARD JONES and NESTHAVEN PROPERTIES.
DOIN’ COFFEE & DONUTS IN DRIPPIN’ IS moving once again to HISTORIC MERCER STREET. “Taking a step back in time,” is a common phrase you will hear as you stroll down Mercer Street in downtown Dripping Springs, enjoying the architecture of buildings, many of which were built between 1870 and 1940. Mercer Street was home to some of the first businesses in Dripping Springs. Downtown, you will find unique and eclectic storefronts and businesses full of energy, entertainment, and accessibility for folks of all ages.
Also, located downtown is the actual “dripping springs”, the landmark that gave Dripping Springs its name. Located on the west end of Mercer Street, this specific area consists of lush, fern-covered limestone ledges which consistently drip water into a small stream. This area of Dripping Springs is located at the west end of Mercer Street near The Homestead and is delineated by a granite marker. You can get a glimpse of the springs by parking at the Visitor’s Bureau parking lot, locating the FedEx mailbox and following the limestone stairs down to the creek.
Coffee, breakfast items, and restrooms are available across the street at MAZAMBA COFFEE ROASTERS.
This is a very informal “come as you are” gathering, providing a great opportunity to chat with your fellow Porsche enthusiasts while drinking a cup of coffee & showing off your own Porsche beauty! Swing by at your leisure.
