The flavors were smooth and comforting, making it a great spot to grab a quick drink. This place operates out of a food truck, which adds to its charm. There are a few outdoor seating options, though space is limited, so it's best for a casual stop rather than a long sit-down. Service was fine, efficient and straightforward. The owner didn't chat much, but the drinks were made quickly. Overall, it is a nice little place for a quick coffee stop.

We were the only people in line when we arrived, but the indoor seating was already pretty full. I ordered an iced latte and she got an iced vanilla latte.

As soon as we walked in, we were surprised by how full the cafe was. Nevertheless, we managed to get a table. I got the half wintermoon and my friend got the matcha strawberry latte.

The half wintermoon was delicious. It had a unique flavor and was well balanced. The quantity was good too. The bread itself was a little too grainy for liking. However the coffee was spectacular.

There are so many different options and fillings, so there's definitely something for everyone. I think the bakery is run by an older couple who make everything themselves. Their are incredibly sweet and friendly and really try their best to explain the different fillings and pastries. One thing to know: despite what some of the photos might suggest, there is no actual seating area where you can sit down and eat. You'll need to take everything to go. We originally thought we could sit and enjoy the pastries there because we saw photos with a table and chairs, so I wanted to mention this for anyone planning a visit. Everything we tried was fresh, soft, and delicious. I definitely recommend giving this place a try! Just make sure to check the names and fillings beforehand so you know what you're getting. Personally, I loved all the buns we tried, especially the sausage bun and the sweet coconut bun. Definitely coming back!

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!

Not exaggerating when I say this is my favorite matcha spot in Austin! Caphein is a close second,…read morebut Dam takes the top spot for me. 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.

In addition, I do not have a Haraz Coffee House near me, so when I am near one of their locations, I make it a point to pop in. I love Haraz. I love the ambience. I love the coffee. I love the pastry selection. I love the service. The consistency I've experienced from location to location is top-notch. The cleanliness here is impeccable, too. That bears mentioning. My go-to is the Haraz Latte. Iced. While this could never be my every day coffee, it is something I really enjoy and treat myself to when I'm able to go to a Haraz. As someone who doesn't proclaim to like cheesecake, their Biscoff cheesecake is the exception. Maybe it's a blessing that one isn't close by and I can only indulge every now and then. If you want a break from your regular coffee, give Haraz a shot. Especially when the summer heat kicks in - the iced coffee + cardamom is pretty great. Also, they seem to have a high standard for hiring. The staff is always great. Please tip generously ;)

Haraz The good:…read more Wonderful decor and ambiance, really spacious. Plenty of seating. Lots of sunlight. Tall ceilings. No annoying music, great for conversation. Open later than most coffee shops, especially in this deserted part of town. Varied drink menu, both caffeinated and not caffeinated, including refreshers. Nice creative variety of desserts (including a Biscoff cake!) and a kolaches case. At one point the brought some hot baked dessert (looked like a whole coffee cake) out the oven and it smelled like heaven. The bad: Nothing vegan or healthy, not even pre-made cold sandwiches or packaged salads. If you are a little peckish for a healthy snack, this is not the place. The coffees: They have all the regular espresso drinks, and also Turkish coffee and of course Yemeni, their specialty. I had heard great things about Yemeni coffee and was exciting to try it. My first drink, a traditional coffee drink called Jubani ($6) contained coffee but was watery like a tea. It had also ginger and cinnamon. I was not expecting it to be like a tea. I immediately told the cashier I didn't like the drink and would like just an Americano, double shot espresso. I was charged $9 for a 12 oz cup. No cream or sugar, no added flavorings. If I were in charge I wouldn't have charged for this second drink, since it comes at almost zero cost to them and would show good faith and ensure repeat business. Disappointingly, the Americano was also watery and sort of "lemony", but I still drank half while sitting with my friend. I'll say that my friend had some sort of an iced latte that she enjoyed. I might try a second visit and order a Turkish coffee, but I will make sure to have had a full meal before.

But not so terrible that I would never come back. The staff is really nice and attentive, and they have delicious pastries near the front of the bar as well. There is plenty of seating and charging outlets so you can continue to use your computer, or tablet as needed. It's also in a really cool location with pretty art outside. My recommendation to the staff would be to amplify the syrup flavoring just a tiny bit more on their special drinks. Other than that things are great!
