    Vanilla chai :)
    Kia L.

    Alfred's is located inside the Line hotel downtown and is fully cashless! I stopped by after a 10 mile walk for a nice warm vanilla chai. This was one of the best chai lattes I've ever had. No notes 10/10! Service could have been friendly. They also sell to-go sandwiches and meals and bottles of wine displayed in a wine wall.

    Iced lavender matcha latte

    Located in a hotel, Alfred coffee is a little coffee shop with really quick service and pretty good drinks! I got the iced lavender matcha latte, and the matcha was decent, the flavor could have been a little stronger and I wish it was a little creamier. But I was pretty impressed with the lavender syrup. The flavor came through really well, and it was the perfect amount of sweetness.

    Strawberry matcha latte

    Located within a hotel lobby, Alfred coffee is such an aesthetic place with a calming atmosphere. There isn't a ton of seating but it was pretty free when we were there. Got the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk and my friend got the cloud creme latte. If you like your matcha on the sweeter side like me, this latte is perfect. The strawberry puree felt fresh and the matcha was smooth and whisked well without it. My friend's coffee drink was decent, not my personal favorite here the drink didn't feel as smooth as I like my coffee. Solid place for a study date, some of the best matcha I've had in austin.

    Iced Vanilla Latte (~$8)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Iced Strawberry Matcha (~$7) Iced Vanilla Latte (~$8) Aya's take: I've never had Alfred Coffee but I know it's super popular in LA and I feel like I just stumbled upon a secret location. Austin is the only place outside of LA you can get it (in the US). Located in the LINE Hotel, and there's plenty of seating in the lobby should you choose to stay. Sadly both drinks I got tasted like straight up milk. In the Iced Strawberry Matcha, the taste of matcha was so weak. Even the Iced Vanilla Latte tasted like it barely had vanilla in it. It could've just been a regular iced latte if I hadn't known. I don't think they were well-made and the flavors were not cohesive. Also a bummer that they didn't have their cute cups or even cup sleeves with their name/logo on it. Austin has plenty of good coffee spots, so I don't think I'd return but if I find myself back in LA, I might give it another try there.

    Alfred is inside of the Line hotel in downtown Austin and is a perfect place to study or catch up with a friend. I like the vanilla latte but I've heard that the strawberry matcha is great as well! You can get free valet parking at the Line hotel for one hour if you purchase an item from Alfred. The inside of the hotel is cute and there's lots of tables to sit and work or study.

    Iced vanilla late
    Stephanie S.

    Amazing espresso! We frequented Alfred everyday while staying at The Line Hotel as it was located in the lobby. It's easy to see why the line was so long everyday, and on the weekends; incredibly long (pro tip- you can order ahead in the app and skip the line). Their espresso is by far the best I've had in years, especially in the US. Friendly staff and even if the line is long it usually moves fairly quick. Apart from the espresso I also tried the iced, vanilla late- it was delicious! There is plenty of seating in the lobby but I ended up taking my coffee to my room. Def worth checking out!

    I got a matcha latte and it was alright to me. I wish the matcha was stronger, it tasted pretty watery in my opinion.

    This Albert location is located within a hotel in downtown Austin. Personally, I love a coffee shop in a hotel but this would have been a pain to get to with a car given the lack of parking. The location is small but there is plenty of seating available in the lobby. The service was friendly and quick. I ordered a vanilla latte and it did the job!

    can't believe this made its way down from LA! i got the chaggachino with their fronks milk everyday i stayed in austin. delicious mushroom coffee

    Karen Q.

    A popular coffee shop brand from LA. Opened in the Line Hotel which has a good variety of seating in their lobby. I tried a few of their coffee options and their breakfast options. My favorites were the Matcha colada which had a refreshing coconut and pineapple component, and the berry Chia pudding. The pastries were also very tasty.

    First things first: Alfred. That's the name of the coffee shop. Not Alfred's, not Café Alfred, not Alfred the Great Purveyor of Beans. Just... Alfred. It feels less like a coffee shop and more like the butler Batman forgot to tip. That said, the espresso here? Excellent. Smooth, rich, and strong enough to make you briefly believe you can afford downtown Austin rent. The pastries are solid too--especially the croissants, which flake in a way that makes you wonder if they have a hidden French grandmother in the back. It's tucked inside the Line Hotel but mercifully has its own entrance, so you don't have to awkwardly pretend you're checking in just to get a latte. And thank goodness, because Austin--despite being a "destination city"--weirdly doesn't have nearly enough coffee shops. This one fills the gap nicely. Pro tip: Their "World Famous Iced Vanilla Latte" is basically coffee's answer to a Beyoncé single--everybody knows it, everybody loves it, and it's a little over the top, but you'll still order it. So yes, Alfred may sound like a butler, but at least this Alfred serves coffee instead of unsolicited life advice. And honestly, that's the hero we need before taking on the chaos of Austin.

    Vegan Blueberry Corn muffin
    Valerie Deanna C.

    This is some old secret Alfred. And unlike the locations in LA, You can't contact this Alfred by phone. It's tucked away somewhere inside The Line Hotel. Parking is atrocious. But the pastries here are indeed phenomenal. They have gluten free/vegan options occasionally. I get my pastries from here through the "Too Good to Go" app for a fraction of the price but I have to wait till closing to pick them up. It's a good deal, so I do it. My favorites? The chocolate croissant, the cornbread like sugar cookie (I keep forgetting the name, but it's so buttery and grainy and decadent) and their gluten free blueberry muffin. I take that blueberry muffin home, slice it in half, warm it for about a minute and slather it in butter. Sinful...but not too much. And it's chocked full of big blueberries. I like you, Alfred. But I do wish you were not tucked away in this hotel with terrible parking.

    Bustling on a Saturday morning! Located in a beautiful hotel lobby with plenty of different areas to sit. Line moves quickly and the drinks were enjoyable. Friendly staff.

    Is there parking?

    The coffee shop is in a hotel lobby. So, you can park at the hotel or in the front with valet. There's also limited street parking pay by the hour.

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.

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.

That alone made it a great find, but what made the experience even better was discovering that they also had live entertainment on Tuesday night until 11. It turned a simple coffee stop into a really enjoyable evening. I ordered a coffee and a brownie, and while the total was a little on the expensive side, around $15 or $16, it felt completely worth it to me. The quality was there, and everything felt a bit more gourmet than your average coffee shop stop. The brownie was delicious, the coffee was exactly what I wanted, and the overall atmosphere made the price feel justified. Between the free entertainment, the beautiful decor, and the location, it felt like much more than just paying for coffee and dessert. One of the best parts of the experience was the setting. Being right on the water made it especially beautiful at night. You can enjoy your drink, take a walk, look at the lights, and just soak in the scenery. It was the perfect place to unwind after a heavy meal and a long workday. Since I was only in Austin for work and do not live in the area, I was really glad I found somewhere that felt special and relaxing instead of just functional. The staff was also very friendly, which added a lot to the experience. Good service always makes a difference, and here it made the place feel even more welcoming. Overall, I definitely recommend Mozart's Cafe if you are looking for a late-night coffee spot with charm, scenery, and a unique atmosphere. I would absolutely go back again.

Just like a number of businesses, Mozart's coffee roasters are featuring Easter related items. They have the cutest little sugar cookies with a Easter theme. My server was friendly and quick.

It was definitely good and had a unique flavor, but it didn't fully win me over. I enjoyed trying it, but it's probably not something I'd order again.

This year it was still good but didn't have that super flaky crunchy top. Still recommend! I've only had the plain. Guava next maybe? And yes, the line is always "long" but they move very quickly. The line was probably 20 people and took less than 10min. Last year they had breakfast tacos in the courtyard from a local place, but I didn't see that this year so maybe it's not happening anymore. Overall 100/10 recommend this place! Worth the wait.
