50 Best Coffee Shops in Austin

“grace took my order, and introduced me to everyone who was on staff at the time alex and raquel.

grace allowed me a sample of the cold brew. to me, had a little bit of a funky tang but once a little half & half was added it mellowed out into a rich enjoyable robust fruity flavor.

i’ve read a lot about their story and origin of beans and have always been intrigued and the flavors are complex. the coffee itself holds a story, something greater than what was in my cup welcomed me.

i had a brown sugar miso oat milk latte which was recommended by grace ? when i got it, raquel made me aware that the top was like a marshmallow foam and yes, it was! slightly powdery sweet and creamy topped the latte very well. the overall flavor was so mild, just enough brown sugar and a buttery slightly shy of salty — umami lite.

their loving signature was left in my coffee, so i’ll be back ?“

“Love it!! Excellent food and service! Traveled from El Paso TX, and this was my to go place daily!! Recommended 100% delicious food!!“

“Had fun catching up with friends here! 🤸🤸🤸“

“Love this new place. Whether it’s coffee, cocktails, tacos, beer, or even a burger and fries from the vegan nom next door, this place is amazing. The staff is super friendly and there’s always something new to try. Hope they are super successful and stay around a while.“

“This coffee is incredible and staff is so kind. It is a low key vibe inside with cute local goods, a curated playlist, and perfect aesthetic. Their iced vanilla latte is my first stop for every trip to Austin! I wish I could rate them higher honestly.“

“These guys are awesome! Great food, service and atmosphere. I eat here at least twice a week!“

“absolutely the best coffee ever“

“Love the gelato sandwich. So good!“

“Great drinks with low key atmosphere“

“Incredible food. loved the salmon. ice cream very rich and creamy.“

“DO NOT hit snooze on this murder-dungeon-turned-coffeehouse! TERRIBLE LOVE is so exceptional, I literally will wake up early, battle I35 traffic and at least seven school zones on the daily to get my Cappuccino fix. Grab a freshly-baked nom while you wait in the landscaped courtyard! Added bonuses: the baristas always remember my name, and the Owner, Brian, could not be a sunnier guy - ready with a welcoming smile and an easy laugh!“

“Amazing coffee and pastries… The owner was lovely!“

“A friend and I went here for a quick matcha stop before walking over to Franklins BBQ and we got the Magick Matcha drink and the Pink Dream. Bunny the barista was kind and a joy to talk to! Both of the drinks were so fun - colorful and very tasty. This is in a little food truck Park with a few other trucks, would absolutely recommend stopping by! I know I'll be back.“

“Best. pastries. ever. This is my go to spot for pastries. they have very unique eastern european pastries that are baked fresh!! I’ve never been disappointed by any of the pastries i’ve tried and i’ve tried MANY. highly recommend this place! They have great outdoor seating as well and their coffee is great!“

“Great atmosphere! Great food!“

“I’m fairly disappointed…in myself, for living so close but having waited so long to come.
Best independent coffee spot in…a rather large area.
I like to think I’m relatively snobbish about good coffee and came in with the mindset of “well it’s close, well priced, hopefully it gets the caffeine in with out too much of a letdown” and yeah pleasantly surprised.
There was a line…and it moved fast. The service was friendly, and again, fast. I ordered three drinks, two hot and one iced and next thing I know it’s coffee time.
Cortado was great, balanced, tasty.
Mocha latte was satisfying without the “Hershey’s syrup” too sweet take you find many other places.
My favorite was the Horchata iced latte. I love iced horchata and espresso, I instinctively added an additional shot to balance out the horchata, and for me it was perfect. Not to sweet or thin like some horchatas.
Also had a seeded cream cheese croissant number that was savory, and light.
Worth the stop in!“

“Stopped in Saturday and sat on the back deck with friends. The Latte was one of the best I’ve had. Perfect.“

“I vended at a few Burlesque shows here a few years ago and loved it! Great staff and fun vibe! If I lived in Austin, I’d def be back for more shows and more coffee breaks. 😁“

“Great atmosphere! Great food!“

“Eberley made the absolute best Iced Bennu with pecan flavor. I asked her what the most popular iced coffee is and voila. WOW. I am making this my new meeting spot with friends - your 2001 East MLK location. Stay great and see you all soon! PS: I am a coffee snob and when I tell you this iced coffee was amazing, well, it was (smile). Great way to kickstart the day.“

“As someone that loves New York food, this restaurant truly captured the feeling of one of the greatest food cities. I had the Bacon, Egg and Cheese. The service was amazing too, definitely will suggest to all my friends!

Parking: Decent amount of parking“

“We were looking for a place to get coffee on our way out of town, and Google sent us to Figure 8. The baristas were friendly and knowledgeable. The coffee is excellent and they have great pastries, too!“

“We Love ? Pie Bar! Thought we’d check out not knowing for sure what it was - it was Amazing! Great little ? ?’s - fun place, good coffee, & nice staff. A great place to take a quick break in your day!“

“Definitely one of my favorite on the go spots. Surprisingly wide selection, and some of my favorite cold brew in town. Not the best for meeting people since it's mostly either drive through or walk-up, but excellent for a quick pick me up.“

“Best coffee in Austin! We were stoked with our flat whites and extra shot caps. And vegemite toast!! I love BBQ but sometimes you just need that little taste of home. What more could an Aussie and Austin ask for?“

“I walked in when they had cumbia music playing and instantly knew this was a good place! I tried the rosemary vanilla latte and it was delicious. The kolaches they offer are also delicious! I highly recommend this place; I already want to come back for more!“

“We stopped by late this morning to treat my 3 year old to a cupcake. We got the strawberry cupcake and vanilla cupcake. They were both delicious! The shop itself is cute and the staff are very friendly. Next time I will have to try the blue velvet.“

“Wow this place was so good! I stopped in after a nearby appointment to grab some breakfast and coffee on my way home - both were delicious! I got a capp and ham and cheese biscuit sandwich. ? The biscuit was crisp on the outside and soft an flaky on the inside. Definitely want to come back to try more of the menu and their specialty coffees!

The only hiccup I had was my Google map didn’t seem to know exactly where the place was - if you’re searching for it it’s right behind the tire shop on Gunther!“

“Awesome place to get coffee.“

“Today was our first-time using Patika to cater a breakfast for our company's monthly board meeting and we will definitely be ordering from them for every board meeting/ breakfast meeting moving forward! The food was amazing, the service was exceptional, and they had everything packaged perfectly. So happy to have found them and can't wait for our next breakfast meeting!!“

“Really fun coffee shop with phenomenal staff. Even with the most vague description ever ("I want something sweet, not that sweet, but also something new"), our barista worked magic! She took the time to walk us through options and was kind to everyone we saw during our study session. The drinks were great (and well-priced, too)! Highly recommend this spot.“

“I've been here a few times and I always have a great experience. Review by Gabriel Culiat“

“Had the Spinach & Feta white omelette with red potatoes. Soooo delicious. Loved the potatoes because they didn’t leave a heavy feeling after. The omelette is really light, which is great. Bloody Mary, yum. Overall, extremely happy. Thank you!“

“A great place! The gelato and pastries are very good and the atmosphere is nice. Pet friendly!“

“I can’t say enough good things about Fleet. Their drinks are amazing, they have breakfast tacos in the morning, and the WHOLE staff is knowledgeable and so nice. Seriously the nicest staff I’ve ever witnessed at a coffee shop.“

“Highly recommend!! Best coffee i’ve had in a very long time.“

“I got a drip coffee with soy milk and my fiancée got a vanilla latte. My coffee was good, a little cooler than I usually prefer but the quality of the beans more than made up for it. My fiancées latte was quite possibly the best latte either of us have ever had. Incredibly smooth and flavourful.
The ambiance and atmosphere was cozy and rustic, and the customer service was amazing. The baristas that served us were super fun and seemed to genuinely be having a good time.
NOTE; There are no tacos or "real food" at this location, there are pastries and a few fridge sandwiches. So if you're looking for a meal, check elsewhere. But if you want incredibly tasty coffee... here's your jam.“

“Friendly staff, hip decor, and most importantly fantastic coffee ☕️“

“Very delicious pho might be my favorite!“

“Very cute location & great staff“

“Very good iced coffee and beautiful outdoor sitting 😍 👌“

“Love love love this place! They have the best employees who actually care about the people they are interacting with! And huge bonus that the donuts are delish! Will be a forever customer!“

“That's great. That's the best option.“

“Desilicious cafe is great. We ordered food from this place for our event and food was great and delicious. Delivered on time and everything was done very professionally. We highly recommend this place“

“The treats here are yummy and beautiful! We always get Fat Cats cakes for special occasions in my family.

Vegetarian options: all vegan though you wouldn't know it from the taste. I served one off their tuna salad sandwiches to my 99 year old grandpa and he asked for another.“

“Happened to be on congress this morning and stumbled upon this cute coffee shop! The atmosphere is incredible and they have very strong good coffee and amazing pastries!“

“great place with great employees“

“Amazing treats! I wish you sold bread daily but I’ll take what I can get. Great service, delicious treats, and amazing atmosphere!“

“The neighborhood dogs like to hang out and discuss politics. I just like the oat milk tho. 🥳🥳“

“I go to Barrett’s many times a week! Buy beans and lattes on the reg! Just wanted to shout out the baristas! They always hook it up, and today I took the wrong coffee to my car (had been up since 5:30a and not thinking clearly). They ran out to give me the correct coffee! I felt so bad, but the work was and is always appreciated 🙏🏼 thanks y’all!!“
