Captain Quack's Coffeehouse

I went to watch a live band in another room. I think it's called Spundproof? Great music, affordable drinks, and very nice service.

The coffee went coo coo bananas. Wish I could waterboard myself with it.

This is my favorite cafe in the area! I like to go to cafes to work on my laptop, journal, read, and catch up with friends. This place is just lowkey enough that it’s not packed but still has atmosphere. The music is always on point which is so important to me. The coffee is tasty (I have high standards… and love the dirty Chai). There’s indoor and outdoor seating.
They also have events here often, which sound cool but I haven’t checked any out.

My ONLY complaint is that there is not much access to outlets, which can be important when working on your laptop. I recommend bringing a portable charger.

This place is a vibe. No gluten free bakery options, but they do have vegan options. Delicious. Service is just as great.

Love their pastries! The cookies are great and the cakes here as well!

Delicious coffee, alternative milks, beautiful baked goods, perfect Austin atmosphere and a WONDERFUL back patio with shade!

Chonk is big fan of Quacks. Chonk approved for whole family.

Captain Quack's has become our go-to spot for a relaxed end to the week, especially for our little "happy hour" after school on Fridays. We usually grab some of their delicious baked treats while the kids chat about their week. The croissants are a personal favorite, perfectly flaky, and the tiramisu is a must-try. The kids can't get enough of the cupcakes, either.

Their coffee is consistently good and does the job, but what really makes this place special is how much effort they put into being a hub for the community. Their event calendar is packed with something nearly every night—whether it’s standup comedy, film screenings, trivia, or book clubs, there’s always a reason to come back.

They’ve really succeeded in creating that "third place" where you can feel connected and a part of something. If you're in South Austin, it’s definitely worth making a stop here and supporting a local spot that truly cares about the people it serves.

Loved the hot chai latte! They brew a blend themselves! Great atmosphere! I will have to go back and try their desserts, they look yummy!

Was in the area & googled coffee shops & voila! I discovered one of the best tasting coffees I have had in long time????Thank ya'll✌️

There are, amazingly, three coffee shops that share their parking lot, so this place needs to up their game. We were disappointed in the food (worst scone ever) and my coffee got cold on the counter before we got it. Hibiscus tea so much better at Dear Austin.

The “quiet room” was full of scowling grumps making for a terrible atmosphere. Regular area was way too small and dominated by a self-important bigmouth on his phone - you couldn’t escape him even at the farthest table in the quiet room.

But the worst thing was the No Dogs Allowed policy for their back patio. The previous tenants, Strange Brew, always let happy dogs and their humans enjoy that area.

So much potential wasted it makes me sad.

I love this place. It is a truly unique location that is laid back and always seems to have a great mix playing. The selection of pastries has never disappointed, and the coffee drinks are great. I really love the stage area and the bar. I'm hoping to take more advantage of the activities here as well as the full bar after hours.
