Expensive drinks, only drip or cold brew coffee. Live music was great tho!

If you want a fast in-and-out coffee run, this probably isn’t that. If you want a cozy, woody, aesthetic spot with chill energy, Radio East nails it. The service is slower, but in a “settle in and enjoy your time” kind of way.

Went on a Sunday morning with a group of friends and didn’t have a pleasant experience. Very rude staff and coffee was mid okay. Just get better.

Fantastic Live Music Venue with Great Coffee and Family-Friendly Vibes!
Radio East is such a unique and vibrant spot! I visited recently to watch my husband perform, and I was thoroughly impressed by the overall atmosphere. It’s the perfect blend of a high-quality coffee shop and a fantastic live performance venue.
I ordered a hot chocolate, and it was delicious—rich, creamy, and exactly what I needed while enjoying the show. The interior decor of the coffee shop is very stylish and has a special character that sets it apart from your typical cafe.
However, the highlight for our family was the massive outdoor space. It is incredibly spacious, which was perfect for my kids! They had a blast running around and playing freely while we enjoyed the music. It’s rare to find a place that offers such a great entertainment lineup while being so accommodating for families with children.
Whether you're here for the coffee, the decor, or a live performance, the experience is 100/100. We had such a happy and relaxing time, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great community hangout in Austin!
I attended the Rhett Miller solo acoustic on 6/8/25 & Radio / East in Austin. I got there early and had some snack-age inside before heading to the back patio for the gig. It is a great venue so I am going to feature it in a joint post here as well as on my Facebook food blog Dan’s Dish.
I can’t wait to see another show there someday. I should note that one of my favorite Austin food trucks was parked there and serving food - Tommy Want Wingy. I didn’t partake on this occasion, but I did get after a basket of wings later that trip when they were parked at Barton Springs Saloon.
I wanted to keep things light and so I ordered some chips & salsa inside as well as a non-alcoholic beer. The salsa was delicious - fresh, chunky veggies, and the chips were thick & crispy.
There are some really cool paintings on the walls of the interior building and the patio outside is quite expansive. Since I arrived early, I got a great table right next to the stage. The performing stage is large enough to accommodate a full band easily. I am looking forward to another gig here and some light noshing and perhaps some food truck eats next visit.

NOT DOG FRIENDLY inside although there are no signs and food is outside. I came here to work because my internet went out at home. It was during the ice storm so I came inside with my tiny 7 pound dog to work. I had looked online and it said that this place was dog friendly inside and outside. I did bring my dog to the other location and was fine. Also, this place was so packed with hard, uncomfortable chairs. They suggested I work outside and that they have heaters. NO WAY! Glad I did not spend my money here. I went to the brewery down the road. They allow dogs, have plenty of space, and serve delicious coffee!

Amazing. It's really perfect for whatever you want in a coffee spot, lots of areas indoor and out. The space is sprawling so you have many options a quiet shaded corner or next to the stage. At night it gets lively and has some cool events. They clean the espresso machines early and will not serve real coffee late in the evening so it's cold brew or alcohol only which has frustrated. They have full bar and great selection.
