One of the best coffee shops in Austin. I love getting their drip coffee which is always rotating and allows you to try out different types of coffee overtime and learn what beans you like. Atmosphere is really nice to work or meet 1 person for coffee. Not good for big groups.

Very very good coffee (especially the roast selections).I like the chill vibe they have with a good wifi to work or read a book.

Cute little coffee shop with a bright and airy ambiance. The staff was friendly and helpful. I had a cappuccino and there's not much to say except that it hit the spot... even on a hot day. Once I had my midday caffeine fix, I was more than ready to take on the rest of the day.

Took a “lab” class here. The class was super informative and helpful! So interesting and the instructor, Dani, was encouraging and sweet! Loved the esthetic of the entire place. Coffee was delicious! Will be back to take another class.

Very good albeit nerdy coffee. They even have a science lab full of probably thousands of dollars. Loved my creative latte art

Greater Goods are championing and nurturing the specialty coffee scene in Austin, which I hugely appreciate! They really care about coffee, and provide best in class specialty coffee, paying attention to detail at every aspect of the process, from reverse osmosis filtered water, to a wide range of SCA 80+ scored coffees from different regions and varietals, lightly roasted and served as pour overs, cold brews and a variety of espresso drinks. On top of all that, they have a dedicated training space to help educate the public (and their own baristas) on really smelling and tasting the differences between all of those amazing coffees, offering reasonably priced taste development classes and cupping exercises. Highly recommend for anyone who really wants to taste the flavours of specialty coffee!

Was looking for a quick pick me up while visiting Austin and found this cute coffee shop! Love all the indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of people all sitting reading or on a laptop. It looks like a greenhouse converted into a coffee shop and has a cool vibe. Ordered an almond milk latte, and it was made quickly. Thought the flavor of the coffee was less strong than other artisan roasts/coffee shops; it tasted more like watered down and milky? But still smooth. I usually get the same thing at every coffee shop so I can taste how the coffee is different. Coffee was like a 3/5 for me. Friend had Viet coffee and said it was yummy. Would love to go back if I'm in that area/Austin and try one of their house specialty drinks, and do recommend it for a nice spot to chill and chat over coffee/tea!

this place has all the vibes and they really know coffee. it can get pretty crowded on the weekends so i try to come early on a weekday. wifi is pretty good if you want to get work done. can't go wrong with a cold brew here. i do wish they added more ice to their matcha drinks, i'm not a big fan of a thick/milky latte.

If you're looking for a quality coffee spot, Greater Goods Coffee is definitely worth a visit. Their bourbon latte was simply delicious - rich and smooth with just the right amount of sweetness. I love that they source their coffee beans from all over the world and roast them in house, which really adds to the unique flavors in each cup.This place can get pretty busy on the weekends, but it's definitely worth the wait. The pastries are also really good - fresh and flavorful. The modern greenhouse vibe is really cool and makes for a great atmosphere to study on a slow day or catch up with friends over coffee. Overall, Greater Goods Coffee is a gem in Austin and I highly recommend it.

Great ambience but cap was horrible and cold. Tried with bourbon flavor. Barely any foam. The rose cacao matcha was good.

This place has some wonderful baked goods! I highly recommend trying out their pastries, both savory and sweet. Admittedly, it is not my go-to spot for a beverage, they're worth the occasional visit for a treat while I'm on a long walk. I have purchased several at a time when friends are visiting from out-of-area.The baristas are always really friendly, too! They seem to be having fun while they work, which makes the experience nice.

Amazing reading vibes in there! I'm booking a coffee class soon:) it's a great addition to east Austin's coffee culture and I hope it stays

Delicious coffee, super nice place! This is a differentCoffee experience, an eclectic kind of a place. Super nice attendants, beautiful milk foam designs, and delicious taste, like European coffee in Austin. They roast the own coffee beans and offer classes to learn more about coffee. Perfect place to stop and read, study, hang out... they have books and if are interested in one they let you take it home to read it and return it latter. I will definitely bring a book next time to donate to their collection. Parking is also convenient. Friendly service and very professional. If you love coffee definitely stop by and pick yours, I can't help it but grab a cappuccino since it is my favorite, here is a good string capuchino, not just foamy milk with coffee... I will be back soon!

First time at the Greater Goods Coffee Roaster and my experience was great! We ordered a hot latte and a brewed coffee - both were good and their latte art was impeccable.We got to the coffee shop on a Saturday afternoon. It was super busy but we were able to find a seat and the wait time was not long at all although there was a line in front of the counter.We spent about 2 hours in the store working in our laptop. It was comfy but sometimes it gets a little loud. Overall 4/5. Coffee 4/5. Interior 3/5.

I love the interior of the Greater Goods Coffee in Austin, Texas. The inside has a lot of wood accents and light that filters into the place, making it great for pictures and vitamin D. The staff was super friendly and had great suggestions, and there was a lot of parking spaces which is great because I am not the best parallel parker in Austin. I got the vanilla latte and the Vietnamese coffee. The vanilla latte tasted great. The Vietnamese coffee was a little too strong for me, and I wished I had a bit more condensed milk. I feel like it's hard to beat real cà phê sữa đá once you've had it and so much. Overall, I love the ambiance here at Greater Goods Coffee, and I think it's a great place to meet a friend or to study and enjoy a nice coffee.
