If you make espresso at home, picking up beans in person is recommended. The mail order subscription is a good option with many roasters, but Talisman's operation doesn't seem great. Shipping lead time looks to be about a week or more, which is days slower than the competition. With a $7 shipping charge on a local order, I expected better. I would prefer to cancel the order and buy the beans I need now for home brewing, but Talisman printed the label quickly to trigger a "shipped" status without actually shipping the order. USPS still doesn't have it. Great shop, less than impressive mail order business.

I have gotten both the iced latte and the cortado on different visits and both were kind of sour. I get that some places lean more toward lighter roasts and brighter flavors, but this was a bit much for my taste. The sourness overpowered everything else and made the drinks hard to enjoy, especially for something like a cortado. The space itself is fine and I can see why people like hanging out here, but based on the drinks alone, it is not really my go to coffee spot.

The latter was a combination coffee…read moreshop and vinyl seller, definitely a prototypical "east Austin" shop, leaning in on the sadly vanishing "Keep Austin Weird" principle. Radio Rosewood wants to keep the party going all day and late into the night, offering food outside of "goes with coffee" and a beautifully appointed bar. Having said this, I just needed coffee, so my review is going to focus on that. The featured coffees here are roasted by their own RCB Roasters, and my selection was their Ethiopian Guji, promising some nice acidity and brightness from its lighter leaning roast profile. The coffee "space" is compact here, but they're using good gear and seem to have the staff to use it well. My espresso was served with sparking water, and was just as I'd hoped, a bright cup with citrus acidity that was well structured, but not overly acidic or bitter at all. It was a winner all around. I'll have to get back in for an adult beverage on my next visit, but I was pleased to see that us coffee lovers can still get a good "fix" here!

I mean the world, these guys aren't serving the $1.45 OG from Cafe Giang, they aren't even serving the version from Loading T, they're serving the single most luxurious premium version of what Loading T did to the Giang OG: this is the definitive version of egg coffee in the world, anyone who disagrees can fight me. This drink is so spectacular it elevates it beyond a mere delicious curiosity into a universally perfect drink. In 2-5 years every specialty coffee shop will likely be copying this as it becomes trendy. If you want to be a cool kid and drink some of the best coffee on the planet before that inevitable blow up, GO NOW! Pro tip: the gorgeous egg foam can be refreshed with an espresso shot if you choose (for extra $$ of course( so you can savor every bit of it!

Compared to Caphein, Dam has a more relaxed vibe with additional seating, which makes it a great place to hang out or get some work done. I noticed it's also a popular study spot for students, so a few extra outlets would be a nice touch. That aside, every matcha I've ordered here has been amazing in both flavor and consistency. The matcha taste actually comes through, and the drinks never feel too watered down or overly sweet. Overall, Dam is easily staying at the top of my Austin matcha list and is a spot I'd keep coming back to.

You know, a first kind of date vibe to keep you relaxed and happy. You just might like him after coming here! The inside is very spacious and adorable, with more than a few areas to sit. I like the newness of it, the modern mixed with a newer, rusty cabin and woodsy feel. I love the chairs, the cute wood tables, and the slouchy, comfortable couches. I love a tall bar table with length, and there are several of these tables here. The outside patio is big and covered, with these enormous ceiling fans to keep you cool in the Texas heat. Let's say this, you'll never have to worry about finding a seat here for two or eight. So you know had to order more than a coffee. The plan was to get just a coffee, but that went quickly out the window once I spied the pastry. I tried this soft, buttery pastry with cheese, spinach, and pepper! I must say "wow," it was so good. Oh, two more things, there are more restaurants and stores to visit on the same lot or area, so take your time here sipping your coffee, there's so much to do, and don't worry about parking because there are plenty of spaces.

There are way better outlet options here, which makes it super laptop-friendly, and they even have a printer available. it's about a dollar per page. I'm a big fan of their mochas, and the snack situation is solid too. They've got good bagel options and other grab-and-go bites that actually pair well with coffee. If you like a little heat in your drink, definitely try the Scarlet Letter. It's a spicy mocha and it's so good. Overall, great vibes, great coffee, and an easy place to post up for a few hours. Highly recommend.
