Daytime Sanctuary /Nighttime Playground
VISION — “TWO FACES
OF ONE CREATURE ”

We’re building a hybrid café-bar where morning feels like a ritual and night feels like a hunt.
By day — a calm, aesthetic escape with coffee, light, and croissants.
By night — the neon pulse of music, smoke, and signature cocktails.

Not two venues. One living organism — transforming every night at 6 PM.


“You can wake up at 8 AM… or at 4 PM. Breakfast still waits for you.”


Concept: Breakfast All Day + Signature Cocktails + Hookah after 6 PM.

Every evening at 6:00, The Hunt Begins — lights fade, music rises, the scent changes.
A hare’s shadow runs across the wall. The air thickens with smoke and sound.
The café becomes something else entirely.

MARKET - “TIMING IS EVERYTHING”

AUDIENCE — “THEY COME FOR PLAYFULL MORNINGS, STAY FOR WILD NIGTHS.”

The trend: explosive growth of “all-day venues” — hybrid spaces blending brunch culture and nightlife.

The gap: people’s lives no longer fit into day vs. night, yet hospitality still does.

The opportunity: a venue where people can enter with a laptop and leave with a cocktail.
• Brunch + nightlife concepts growing +27% YoY across major cities.
70% of millennials and Gen Z prefer flexible, aesthetic social spaces.
• Our dual identity model monetizes 14 hours a day vs. the industry norm of 6–8.

AUSTIN MARKET CONTEXT — FALL 2025
Target: 25–55, urban, creative, lifestyle-driven.
They live between deadlines and dance floors — aesthetic, social, and emotionally fluid.

• Morning: coffee and laptops, vinyl.
• Night: cocktails, hookah and dj/playlists.


“Not Your Rabbit — for those who look soft, but have claws.”



Austin is one of the most dynamic gastro and lifestyle markets in the U.S.
The Food & Beverage industry has fully recovered after the post-COVID slowdown, showing stable and confident growth.
Average check in the casual-premium segment:
• Brunch / Breakfast — $22–$30
• Evening Lounge / Bar — $55–$75
Occupancy rate of well-positioned venues:
• 60–80% on weekdays
• 90–100% on weekends
• The culture of aperitivo, slow breakfast, and craft cocktails is at its peak.

The Austin market creates ideal conditions for hybrid concepts that blend a social daytime space with an evening lounge experience.
Not Your Rabbit fits this trend perfectly — combining style, quality, and a bold personality.





FOOD MENU — “ALL DAY BREAKFAST. ALL NIGHT INSINCT.”



By day, we serve food that feels like morning — calm, intentional, and alive.
Breakfast here isn’t a time of day; it’s a state of mind.
You can wake up at 7 a.m. or 4 p.m. — breakfast still welcomes you.

When the evening comes, the mood shifts. Lights dim, the music rises, and what remains on the table is pure instinct — a burger made for the night hunters.


DAY — Breakfast All Day.

Coffee & Tea — “The Everyday Ceremony.”
Craft Sbitens — “Warmth with a Soul.”
Fresh Juices & Lemonades — “The Bright Side.”
SEASONAL DRINKS — “The Taste of Time.”
Everything we serve moves with the season.
When the city heats up — we cool it down. When it chills — we bring the warmth back.
Every drink is a small act of care, designed with the same precision as our light, our sound, our mood.

Not just coffee — a ritual.
Each cup is crafted with intention, from the finest beans to the last swirl of steam.
Our tea is for those who appreciate the pause — the kind that makes silence feel like a luxury.

You don’t rush a good drink. You live with it.

When the air turns cold, we trade ice for steam.
Our sbiten blends are bold, fruity, and honeyed — old recipes reborn with modern hands.
They taste like winter evenings, conversation, and the comfort of being exactly where you should be.

Hot. Rich. Slightly nostalgic. Entirely ours.
Summer calls for something clear, cold, and honest.
Our juices and lemonades are made fresh — no syrup, no fuss, just flavor that feels alive.
Simple, vibrant, and refreshingly real.

Because refreshment isn’t a drink — it’s a feeling.
NIGHT — The Hunt Menu.
After 6 p.m., the menu transforms — no clutter, no compromise.
Just one perfect ritual: a burger and fries, done right.
Choose your spirit; we’ll take care of the rest.

Signature Burgers:

Classic Veal — juicy veal with smoky sauce

Crispy Chicken — golden fried chicken with spicy aioli

Ocean Bite — fish patty with lemon-herb cream

Vegan Rebel — plant-based patty, caramelized onion & cashew sauce


Served with your choice of classic fries or sweet potato, seasoned with sea salt & rosemary.
Simple, smart, and satisfying.
Our daytime menu features 5–6 signature dishes — designed for those who believe that breakfast should never end.


Sample Selection:

Croissant Royale — salmon, poached egg & arugula in a buttery croissant

Rabbit Benedict — poached eggs with turkey or bacon

Morning Bowl — oats or quinoa with seasonal fruits, nuts, or house-made jam

Sweet Hare Pancakes — pistachio cream or honey drizzle

Quinoa & Poached Egg Salad — warm quinoa, poached egg & citrus dressing


We don’t believe in “too late for breakfast.”
Signature Cocktails — “Author’s Mood in a Glass.”




Red Wines — “Velvet Confidence.”
Dessert Wines — “Sweet Ending, Wild Beginning.”
White Wines — “The Prelude.”
APERITIF MENU — “The Taste That Moves.”
HOOKAH MENU — “Smoke as a Ritual.”
We don’t just pour — we set the mood.
Every drink at Not Your Rabbit is a story, a state of mind, an invitation to feel something new.

The menu lives and evolves — every few weeks a new flavor enters, another quietly steps away.
Aperitifs, wines, and pairings that change like the rhythm of the city — never static, always alive.
For those who drink emotions, not recipes.
Each cocktail is a moment of authorship — infused with rare liqueurs, herbs, and mood.
From the light touch of Lillet Orange to the smoky intrigue of Smoke & Bloom, every sip feels like a short film you can taste.

Drink to remember — or to forget, beautifully.
White is for those who speak the language of ease and light.
The perfect first glass of the day — crisp, floral, quietly confident.
We choose bottles where clarity matters more than prestige, where freshness opens the appetite for conversation.

White — a prelude to the night. A whisper before the story begins.

Red is depth. Desire. The art of taking your time.
For those who want to feel powerful and present — without saying a word.
Every bottle in our collection carries a sense of balance between passion and composure.

Don’t drink to get drunk — drink to feel certain.

Dessert wine isn’t an ending — it’s a quiet continuation of pleasure.
It’s for those who notice details, who linger in the aftertaste.
Perfect for the last flicker of the evening — dim lights, a shared dessert, and the feeling that everything unfolded just right.

Let sweetness start something new.

At Not Your Rabbit, smoke isn’t a habit — it’s a language.
It moves like music, blends with the light, and becomes part of the night’s pulse.
Each hookah is an experience — curated aroma, rhythm, and mood — a ritual of the nocturnal kind.

Concept

Our hookah lounge is not a background — it’s a scene.
We work with premium blends and artisan tobaccos, building signature mixes that range from light and floral to deep, spicy, and mysterious.
Every setup is served as a visual and sensory act — smoke, light, sound, and presence.

Signature Mixes — “From Soft to Wild.”

Velvet Bloom — raspberry, rose, vanilla. Smooth, elegant, quietly seductive.
Citrus Hunter — grapefruit, lime, mint. Sharp, bright, electric.
Dark Instinct — double apple, spice, coffee undertone. Bold and immersive.
Amber Nights — passion fruit, peach, and a touch of rum. Sweet heat with depth.


Pairing Rituals — “Smoke + Drink Sets.”

Taste becomes multidimensional when smoke meets cocktail.
Each pairing is designed to amplify the other — contrast, echo, or melt together.

Velvet Bloom × Smoke & Claw — rose, vanilla, ice, and mist.
Citrus Hunter × Run Rabbit Run — lime, mint, adrenaline.
Dark Instinct × Bloody Burrow — slow, deep, magnetic.


Experience

Private “Burrow Rooms” offer personal hookah rituals with custom lighting, ambient sound, and immersive smoke visuals.
It’s not a hookah session — it’s a sensory act.
An escape. A moment suspended between pulse and silence.


BRAND & MARKETING — “THE CITY’S WILD PULSE”


Not Your Rabbit is not just a venue.
It’s a living stage of the city — constantly changing, playing with trends, provoking, and creating its own mythology.

Tone: Playfully refined — the union of elegance and wildness.

2.Experience-Based Marketing

4. Share: spreading the brand’s aesthetic and energy.

5. Return: for the next season, format, or vibe.
DESIGN — “SMART SEDUCTION SPACE”
Not Your Rabbit is not just a place — it’s a spatial emotion, where every element has meaning.

Our design is not about showing off luxury — it’s about intelligent aesthetics: style that speaks softly but with undeniable confidence.




Concept:

A minimalist industrial approach — no heavy reconstruction, no excess, but full of character.
The space doesn’t rebuild the building — it uses its natural story.
Textured walls, exposed beams, clean lines, intentional lighting.

It’s “smart design for people” — created for movement, touch, gaze, and conversation.
It lives with the guest, adapts, and never shouts — it whispers certainty.
Materials:

Natural: wood, stone, linen-textured fabrics.
Recycled: repurposed metals, reclaimed concrete, second-life glass.
Living: greenery, flowers, and earthy textures in color and form.

Every material is chosen not for trend, but for meaning and tactile emotion.
Tactility is the new luxury.



Light and Motion:

Lighting is the core language of the space.
By day — soft, breathable, natural.
By night — contrasts, shadows, reflections, a choreography of light and neon.

Light defines rhythm: calm in the morning, passion at night.
Essence:

The space must feel instinctively right — logical, but with unexpected details.
A fine balance between comfort and temptation.
A place you don’t just visit — you inhabit.

It’s where people stay a little longer,
because it simply feels good to be here.


Not Your Rabbit is not about decoration — it’s about sensation.
We create design that thinks, moves, and speaks to the person inside it.
A living environment where every object has a character, and every meter — a metaphor.


Smart. Refined. Defiant. Just like the brand itself.
