50 Best Coffee Shops near Manchaca

“Great people & great coffee! Super fun crew! Love the aesthetics too!!“

“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 ?“

“I love their iced coffee drinks and their tacos. The customer service is always great.“

“My favorite east side coffee shop/ breakfast stop. Love the breakfast burrito with tri tip and the breakfast sandwich is awesome! Also have great coffee and burgers! Save this place from closing down! The property got bought out and they need a new location! Best memories I have of Austin started at Cenote for our company meetings.“

“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!“

“Wow! The Noble Joe that Hannah made was absolutely amazing! It was not too sweet and not too strong, just a balance between the two. I already drank all of coffee within a few minutes. Will definitely come back to try all the other flavors you have! Thank you again Hannah for making my coffee and the good vibes! And thank you Anna for taking my order and playing along with jokes! It’s always appreciated when people know how to take a joke. Cannot wait till my next visit!!!!“

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

“I love their iced coffee drinks and their tacos. The customer service is always great.“

“Really sick spot! Everyone is super kind and the drinks are great! Just be careful where you park; someone decided to slam their door on the side of my car, that was 0/10.

Parking: There is a lot in the back that can get pretty filled up.“

“It's a really cool place to hang out and they have a fantastic array of good music as well as other activities.“

“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!“

“Afuga Coffee offers a variety of beverages from coffee, tea, cocoa, beer, and wine. Additionally, they offer delicious pastries, tasty sandwiches, and fabulous charcuterie boards. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. A great spot for you to stop at before or after heading down to the lake for a stroll.“

“Espresso game is on point!“

“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“

“Love coming to Embrace the Grind. The team(owners) are very friendly, hospitality oriented and you can tell from the get go the passion they have in their business and industry overall. I’ve tried many places and can truly say this place far exceeds my expectations in both quality of product and the service they provide. I can’t wait for them to hopefully open up another location. Ron and Megan y’all are doing something amazing and wish you nothing but success. See you next time. 🙏🏽“

“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?“

“Amazing customer service and coffee“

“Very Delicious and Great Location“

“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!“

“We tried Vadapav, Sabudana vada and classic ginger cardamom tea ? ! It was super fresh and delicious!
Definitely worth trying and supporting folks at SAMAY ☕️

Vegetarian options: Vegan options available as well!

Parking: If you love tea and Vadapav, do try them on a rainy day ??“

“Coffeehouse at Caroline saved our trip to Austin during Christmas because they were open the entire time despite many other places marked themselves open but they were not! We had many breakfast here and everything was really delicious. Blueberry muffins are out of this world- literally. I want to shout out to 2 team members, Chloe who was at the register on our last day. She was so kind, I want to thank you for her hospitality! As we were talking to Chloe, Nathaniel from the Engineering dept of the hotel stopped by and he also said hi, he was very nice too!. Hotel management: Please make sure to show appreciation to both of them.“

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

“I tried the cold brew, it was okay. Didn't have sf syrups, cold foam, or forks for my coffee cake lol. Its attached to a cool skate shop but there's no where comfortable to sit just some stools which was disappointing. Probably won't be back😅“

“Wonderful coffee Cafe. The service is amazing and the coffee is amazing. Review by Gabriel Culiat“

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

“Vegetarian options: Trailers rotate, but usually at least one has vegetarian options.

Kid-friendliness: Children not allowed certain day/times. Mostly weekend/nights.

Wheelchair accessibility: Mostly gravel and dirt. Single narrow ramp into the bar area.“

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

“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.“

“Arguably some of the best coffee in town. I have been coming here on-and-off for almost 5 years. My go-to is a cappucino with whole milk that NEVER disappoints. My beverages always are smooth and well-textured with a subtle sweetness. I'll support their buisness to the end. Thank you!

Parking: The Pueblo Viejo food truck is next door if you're in the mood for great tacos.“

“Solid coffee place. Typically less crowded than Desnudo down the street so it works as a good option when one or the other is too crowded. Good coffee, on the pricier side. But the barista was so nice and friendly and make a little bit of small talk with everyone in line.“

“The Best Saturday Date Is To Walk The Texas State Grounds & Gave Lunch At Sweet Water Lunch“

“some of the best and highest-quality espresso/coffee service in austin/anywhere. senstive and refined artisan espresso drinks; robust and natural tasting cortados and cappucinos which can retain their flavor all day; probably due to freshness and quality of beans. get the cortado and start living your best life!“

“I finally made it to Nate's Baked Goods on Saturday. We had the dinner for 2 for $40 via takeout. Every single item was delish and there was enough for a second meal. The salads and dressings were even exceptional but my favorite part of the meal were the White Super Buns w/ French butter glaze! I highly recommend these two dinner items: #5 Chicken pot pie w/ diced Yukon gold potatoes, English peas & carrots w/ handmade pie crust - Mixed roasted green veggies - Butter lettuce salad w/ English cucumbers, orange bell peppers & hot house tomatoes w/ buttermilk dressing #10 Charcoal Grilled pork tenderloin - handmade potato gnocchi tossed in light mustard sauce w/local squash, Mixed greens salad w/ orange bell peppers, parmesan cheese & Green Goddess dressing - White Super buns w/ French butter glaze And, here's the best: dinners come w/ bakery cookies for dessert“

“great place with great employees“

“absolutely the best coffee ever“

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

“Strawberry Shortcake donut and latte!“

“I go here for runs on Saturday mornings when I’m able and love the environment as well as the people, staff, and seating. It’s a great spot to get water, fruit, breakfast, and meet up for some fun memories with friends, co-workers, or informal running groups. The atmosphere is stellar and enjoy going each week.“

“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!“

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

“Went for a lil bday celebration, loved the samples and gelato. And parking was easy. Only grievance was the restroom/toilet not having seat liners, everything else was super sweet!!! Would visit again 100%

Parking: Parking is behind the store, went in the evening on a week day and my friends and I were all able to park with no issues!“

“We had a fantastic experience at Merit. For coffee, I ordered a cappuccino and cold brew. The group got a cookie, kolache, pop tart, croissant, and breakfast tacos for the group. All were fantastic. Just know that if you come in on a Saturday morning, make sure to come with patience as the line was quite long and moved slow.

For constructive criticism, I suggest the cafe write the names of the pastries on the display so the cashier doesn’t have to spend time explaining to customers what everything is. It was also a bit confusing as to when you’d pick up your food items (upon purchase or when the coffee is ready).

I highly recommend and would put this place in my rotation for coffee in Austin.“

“Great coffee and atmosphere! Places like this are so needed in south Austin!“

“clean atmosphere, awesome visuals, friendly service! great place ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Summer Moon Coffee is a great spot to grab a coffee on your way into the city. I ordered a hot latte with whole milk, and it was fantastic. My wife went with a decaf Americano with heavy cream, and she was equally happy with her drink.

Though we didn’t try any of the baked goods, they looked delicious, especially the poptart-style pastries. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick, making the whole experience enjoyable.

The shop was thoughtfully decorated for Halloween, and there were plenty of tables to sit at, whether you're just grabbing coffee or staying to work. For the laptop crowd, there are ample countertop spaces with power outlets, making it a great spot to get some work done.

There’s an outdoor seating area with umbrellas, which is nice, but being right on First Street, you do get some traffic noise and exhaust fumes, especially in the morning. One cool feature is the walk-up window for mobile orders, which is super convenient if you're bringing your dog and can't go inside.

Overall, a nice spot for both coffee lovers and those looking for a place to work.“

“Dog friendly and great service.“

“Love the ambiance, several different areas w different vibes. I love the deck but the mulched area is nice to hang out at with the kids (there's a small playground). It's family friendly until 9 PM. This is somewhere sometimes to work and have a copy, to have a happy hour drink and catch up with a friend, to meet a friend with other kids and let them play while we catch up and eat tacos at the food truck, and a great spot in the neighborhood to have little date night. We even rang in the new year at Progress. The service is super friendly and helpful.“

“Super yummy ice cream. The staff was very friendly. Hope to see them for many years in the neighborhood. It's been crowded but caught them before closing and hardly any wait.“
