50 Best Coffee Shops in Austin

“It was one great cup of coffee. But, boy, was it so much more!

Andrea didn’t just take my order, she guided me every step of the way, with such care and personal attention that I felt like I was at a 5-star restaurant. But here I was, at a food truck, waiting in line, cold from the chilly morning, and getting some of the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. There was no rush. There was just you and your order, and when Andrea made suggestions and recommendations, I was smart enough to take every one.

When I picked up my drink, the gentleman at the counter said, “We appreciate you.” Well, all I can say to Andrea and everyone at Desnudo is, we appreciate YOU ❤️“

“Best coffee spot in town. Love stopping by for all my coffee and puppy treat needs!“

“Surprised it took me this long to put up a review here, having come here for several years now. The coffee is wonderful, and I find that the Terrible Latte is the equivalent of drinking a hug. Uplifting. The staff are kind and wonderful to chat with, and will always make sure you feel welcome.

The atmosphere is cozy. I’m always calmer coming here, and I’m always reminded to slow down and enjoy some peace and quiet in a bustling city.

This turned into a reflection… point is, 100% recommend to check out Terrible Love.“

“Creature Coffee absolutely rips. Sammy and Bethany are both so personable, and did such a great job of keeping the crowd happy while they were making the drinks. They were chatty with everyone who came through, but made sure the attention felt individualized. The greatest!!!“

“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. 😁“

“Such a great, vibey spot on the east side. The good morning breakfast sandwich was delicious, definitely recommend adding the chipotles. The biscuits are unlike any I’ve ever had; will be thinking of them often! The rose oat milk late was perfect; not too sweet or floral.

There’s an adorable used bookstore right next door that’s also worth checking out.“

“Great atmosphere! Great food!“

“Love their Expressos, lattes, and Belgian waffles 🧇!“

“Great coffee, great service! Definitely recommend (I got the hazelnut latte). Thanks for the good time, Bryce and Dane 🙏“

“I’m a regular here, I can’t recommend this spot more, staff is always super sweet, they make killer coffee, and I like the fact they have little treats as well to go with your coffee like banana bread or poppy seed bread. Beats Starbucks ANY day.

Whoever left a one-starred review is probably not the brightest bulb as this spot is ALWAYS on point and a staple in our community. Big thank you to the baristas here.“

“The coffee and service were great! The real star of Palomino is the atmosphere, I love the unique and cozy idea to fill the place with plants! You can even buy some if you feel up to it! The area it's in is a little sketchy but I'd say it's well worth the visit if you're in the area!“

“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 come to the Hutto location every morning for my graham cracker latte! Absolutely love this place!“

“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.“

“I’m picky when it comes to espresso, but Idlewild is in my top 3 favorite coffee spots in Texas. Their beans are excellent for taking home or gifting, with beautiful notes of velvety espresso that are perfectly balanced.
Brew On! 🙏“

“This place has amazing food and a great cozy vibe. The best vada pav and sabudana vada in Austin! Their Orange Pistachio chai was out of this world! you’ve got to try it. And my personal favorite - “The Chicken Taco” which is like an indian style wrap was fabulous. Certainly a hidden gem!“

“Good Lord this place has great coffee. I don't know what else you'd need to know. They don't serve breakfast aside from some pastries, but there's a great taco truck across the street.“

“Great coffee shop! We had a group of 7 and were greeted nicely and received fast service. The coffee was very good and fresh. Great price as well. The owner happened to be in while we were there and was happy to celebrate our friend’s batchelor trip with us. Highly recommend!“

“Great coffee, recommend. We tried the brown sugar miso, the white miso & orange and the dirty chai latte. All were really nice, I think the brown miso was the best. Really friendly and helpful staff. Sometimes a small queue but it goes quickly.“

“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.“

“I got an iced toasted coconut latte here yesterday afternoon and it was beyond delicious. Right amount of sweetness and tasted like real coconut. Easy to find parking and when we went there was no line. Barista was very friendly and helped grind the coffee beans we purchased. My fiancée is picky with coffee and he agreed they make amazing coffee here. We’re looking to buy a home in the area and hope to be frequent customers here!“

“The best place to drink coffee, have delicious vegan treats, and doodle or draw! Friendly staff, and a welcoming and creative style.“

“My wife and I visited Austin (Barton Creek Area) which is amazing by itself. We were headed back to Dallas and wanted breakfast. There were lots of choices but this place stood out. OMG I’m glad we went. Got on the waitlist and it went quick. The staff at the greet stand were nice and friendly but when we got to table, it went up a notch!!
STEPHANIE WAS AMAZING!! Now don’t let her occasional “hell yeah” fool you for something bad. It is her affectionate way for letting you know that “something is good and a great option!” She was wonderful and so was the food. I got chicken and waffles and wife got breakfast quesadillas. This will be a familiar place in our stops when we visit that area. That STEPHANIE. Keep shining 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾“

“Wow! What a cool hotel! AND noon checkout?!!! Sweet! I’ll be back!“

“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.“

“my wife loves this place. I like the artichoke water and of course the military discount as well.“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Mr. Brew Cafe is a fantastic coffee spot with a vibrant and welcoming vibe. The ambience really stands out, with colorful murals that give the place a fun, lively character.
They offer a great selection of Italian sodas and lattes, along with some unique seasonal specials that keep the menu interesting. It’s a great place to try something new beyond the usual coffee options.
There’s plenty of seating, making it easy to relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done. The staff are friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall positive experience.
Overall, a great neighborhood café with personality, good drinks, and a comfortable atmosphere—I’ll definitely be back.“

“I received the warmest customer service from Sofia and Brent! I'm always an indecisive person so I always take long to order, but their patience was so kind and the quality of drinks they made was amazing! I got a lavender matcha and a fruit loops latte, and soooo recommend it! They were super tasty, welcoming environment and super cool staff! :)“
