Austin is known for having a lot of coffee, but very few have identifiable differentiators. Merfolk's creates coffee flavors based on fantasy lore, so you honestly never know what the special menu will have. That's why we keep spending our money there. Many of the drinks are sweet but the staff is more than happy to make adjustments as needed! The ambiance is also so cute and whimsical. I love being in beautiful spaces like this---it makes getting any sort of work done in my laptop much more enjoyable.

Very spacious with lots of room for meet-ups, working remotely, having a coffee date, etc. The drinks are fantastic. I had the Jane Austen (iced) which is a lavender white mocha. They blended the flavors to perfection and I could actually taste the lavender without it being overbearing or not enough taste. My boyfriend had Angela's Ashes (iced)---I took a few drinks of that and woo-wee is it good. It's Mexican mocha, oatmilk, and cookie butter. The baristas are true artists creating liquid masterpieces.

Nevertheless, I would go back and try something different. It's a great place to work outside, especially for big groups. Plenty of seating. However, the seating overall is not the most comfortable (hard benches) but it'll get the job done. I really liked the music! I shazamed a couple of songs :)

Their 16 ounce coffee was $10, $10! Here I got my delicious cold brew and a bagel and paid $8. Thank you, captain, quack for not raising your prices ridiculously with the inflation of everything. As always, my day has turned around thanks to Captain quacks! I love this place so very much. My go-to is usually their vegan chocolate muffin. It is insanely delicious and I'm not even a vegan, but it's double chocolate so of course I had to try it. The ambience here is an absolutely awesome vibe I always feel comfortable here with the right blend of people, and the awesome people who work here. This is not some stuck up bougie cafe, it's relaxed and it offers a variety of events at night too! I'm a capt quacks girl for life (so long as I don't have to pay $10 for cold brew!) hehe

It's also a huge plus that they offer both coffee and alcoholic options and have food trucks on site, so it's easy to stay for a while. I had the iced Biscoff Cookie Latte and my husband got the hot Pumpkin Pie Latte. Both were delicious! The Biscoff wasn't overly sweet, and the pumpkin pie latte tasted warm and flavorful without that artificial pumpkin taste. They also play great music, which is a huge plus! The only downside is limited parking, but I haven't had an issue so far. Just don't miss the additional parking sign. The back lot is down a narrow alleyway and easy to miss.

I like that they empower small businesses and entrepranuers by supporting new nonprofit organization each month and use ingredients from local Austin businesses to support the community. They have a food truck located in the AMLI South Shore Apartments that looks like a trolly. There are lots of picnic type seating. Parking was a bit of a challenge by they have a parking garage within walking distance. Service was friendly and quick, which always makes a difference. I decided to try the Blackberry Crumble matcha seasonal drink. The drink was very refreshing with a nice balance of sweetness and tartness from the blackberry. You still get the "crumble" flavor layered in, which made it feel unique and a little indulgent without being too heavy. Overall, a solid spot with creative seasonal options. I can't wait to try some of their other seasonal flavors. They deliver on their mission of making quality coffee while providing the best experience.

The ambiance is really fun and unique, especially with the little water pond that adds a relaxed, outdoorsy vibe. There's a good mix of indoor and outdoor seating, so it works for different moods and weather. The drink menu is huge, with coffee, tea, and both alcoholic and non alcoholic options, so it's an easy pick no matter what you're in the mood for. I also like that there are food trucks right outside, which makes grabbing a bite super convenient. Plus, the large parking lot is a nice bonus. Overall, it's a really solid, easygoing spot for hanging out or going on a casual date.

The coffee is spot on as at the other location. Shared an iced butterscotch latte with my boyfriend and it was yumx2. There are similar interior decor elements but the exterior spaces differ slightly. Saltillo is more industrial and city. This location is huge with lots of outdoor seating as well as indoor. They've got a mini food truck park (3 trucks), koi pond, chickens, nature, etc. It's definitely a great spot for families with kids and larger gatherings of folks. Just like "our" location, service is exceptional. Everyone was so good to Sir Benjamin. He was so relaxed and chill during our hangout. It's that peaceful vibe that comes with good service and pretty landscaping.

The sandwich I chose comes with bacon, beer cheese, fluffy eggs, and Russian dressing on a beautifully toasted Bavarian croissant. I also had to try a side of their duck fat potatoes, fried golden brown with smoked duck fat, whipped confit garlic butter, and fresh thyme. This was an excellent meal with great service, and I would highly recommend checking them out if you're ever in the area.

I recommend stopping by and just taking some time to enjoy it all.
