Once they change their menu, their food went to the next level! Their coffee has always been great but this new chef deserves a raise!

Some creepy guy was filming me, the bagel cream cheese was skimpy & when I got the coffee refill the staff questioned me as if I hadn't been there. Due to the fact some creeper filmed me without permission and staff did nothing I will never return.

Ladybird Latte is amazing! Needed to write a review just for this. Visiting from New York and this is a speciality drink that I think is worth its existence on the menu. Cafe vibes are nice too and great for working.

One of the best lavender vanilla lattes!

Unfortunately came at 4:30 and they were closed. The front desk was nice but the coffee baristas just wanted to leave and closed. They have a 5pm closing time so I wish we would’ve known that before going…

Vibes in here are amazing, inside and out. Friendly staff, soothing decor, and great use of natural materials inside.
As far as drinks go, highly recommend the Ladybird Latte… comes with hints of rosemary and orange peel, really really good 10/10 for me.
For food, I can recommend the pastries here are well made and delicious.
Would recommend this spot for meeting up with a friend, solo-work, coffee-date or grab and go if you’re passing by

A great place for chillaxing. This was a great weekend morning stop-off for me as a tourist walking around the city and along the river. It's set back from the main road, so it feels more intimate. For the times of the day I visited (weekend mornings) it had a mix of friends meeting up (some with toddlers), people dropping in after a jog and a few people grabbing a coffee to go. The ambience is relaxed with inside and outside seating. The food seemed popular from seeing purchases by others as well as the variety of drinks bought, although I just went for the coffee. It had a more cozy atmosphere than some of the other coffee shops in the area as this is a single story building, rather than the modern ground floor outlet of a larger block. Just very pleasant, although the queue can mean a bit of a wait.

Decent coffee shop, better vibes and seating but espresso drinks leave more to be desired

Come for the ladybird latte, stay for the lounge music from old records and slowed down atmosphere. Don't rush here. You won't want to

This gorgeous coffee bar is in the middle of a booming part of Austin, but the atmosphere is so serene. There are so many mature plants around the building that it almost feels like you're vacationing on a tropical island.

The staff was very friendly, and the indoor and outdoor spaces were warm and welcoming.

Food was great, and drinks were delicious!

More than a coffee bar: a wonderful dinner restaurant. We live nearby, and like many locals, we enjoy special dinners here. It's a great date or occasion restaurant hidden in an excellent boutique hotel.

Parking: The hotel has a garage, but idk if it is free or paid when you are not staying in the hotel. We are always able to find parking but sometimes have to walk a couple of blocks.

It’s okay

Cool vibe created by whoever owned it originally, but thats gone now. It's changed hands a few times, and the "corporate transition" is complete. Slow impersonal service. No regulars. Paper cups instead of mugs. Great if you're a tourist grabbing a cup of coffee on your way out, but not really a sit down chill coffee shop.
