Anderson's Coffee Company is one of the coolest stores I have been to in some time. A friend recommended this store for coffee. They sell coffee by the pound, likely for those serious coffee lovers who have fancy expensive coffee machines. I was looking for a latte. Bad news...this coffee company sells coffee by the pound not lattes (hence the name). Good news... they sell drip coffee for $2.00 + tax. What a deal! This family owned shop has been roasting beans locally since 1972 and focuses on helping customers brew excellent coffee at home rather than serving coffee drinks on premises. According to the store manager, Mr. Anderson occasionally comes into the store. The selection of freshly roasted beans is rather larger, with store favorites like Guatemala Antiqua, Dark Sumatra and Arabian Mocha cited as most popular. Coffee cost on average $19 per pound. In addition to coffee, the store carries loose leaf teas, mugs, candy, cards, coffee pot sweaters, brewing equipment, and small other gift items, to name just a few items. I was totally and completely enamored with this store. They had so many trinkets and interesting items, you literally could peruse for hours. Captivating environment...Loved it... read more

I stopped by while exploring the area and ended up staying much longer than I expected. The coffee was smooth, rich, and clearly made with care, and the staff made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The shop has a relaxed atmosphere that's perfect for catching up with a friend or getting a little work done. I also grabbed a pastry that paired perfectly with my latte. This is definitely the kind of local coffee shop I'll be happy to visit again. read more

I've been buying coffee at Anderson Co since 1975 when I got out of the Navy (Sailors drink a lot o coffee!) and recommending it to my friends. The staff has changed over the years but I've always looked forward to the friendly interactions and perusing the large variety of equipment, confections and mugs. It's also a great place to buy gifts. The store has barely changed except for new products even though it's been in the same location since 1972. And, the coffee is the best! read more

Since I have accidentally discovered this place last week, I have not shut up about it and have told many friends about this hidden gem. Not only is it small business and family-owned (which I love), they have a variety of artisan chocolates, mugs, and cute cards in addition to their extensive coffee collection. They have a room that is devoted to only Miya products, which is my favorite Japanese teaware brand for anyone looking for good quality teapots! The only thing I wish was that they also served fresh brewed coffee there for us to taste. read more

Beautiful and exceptional small family owned business! Came here for a cup of coffee and got so much more! Service was excellent, was asked what type of coffee I liked and was given a great recommendation of bean. Bought a pound of coffee beans and a mug. Everyone was so attentive, helpful and kind. Will def be back!! read more

Amazing coffee. Exceptional service. It's not a coffee shop. Just great coffee. Roasted and ground to your desire.

Love this location and the staff is always nice. You can tell the management cares and keeps things running smoothly here. Nothing compares to Summermoon's coffee and Moonmilk on this Earth and I miss it every time I travel. I purchase t-shirts and candles to show off my love. I prefer Wintermoon, but thats just me! Thank you Summermoon for everything and making my mornings better, because in all honesty, I HATE coffee. read more

Even if you don't wanna buy anything from this place, it's worth dropping in for the incredible coffee smell, that is if you like the smell of coffee beans/coffee. Nice variety of beans from around the world at reasonable prices in my opinion. Friendly staff. They have other stuff too like tease and cups, and things that go with coffee and tea. Frankly, none of this stuff interests me, so I just go for the coffee on a regular basis as we grind our own beans. The beans are always fresh tasting when ground. Our go to coffee place in Austin for coffee beans. read more

I've been buying my coffee here since I first moved to Austin in 1974. They were the first to fresh roast their coffees twice a week locally. Even when I lived in the Caribbean a couple years I would have them ship it. The Costa Rican is wonderful whether by the cup or espresso or cappuccino. They stopped selling by the cup during Covid but are doing it again. What a great break if I'm roaming around Central Austin to swing by, shop, and have a fresh cup of Java! Service is always excellent! read more

Lovely shop and people :) easily picked out perfect gifts for my family. Beautiful mugs and a deep selection of coffee and tea.

Our Airbnb host told us about Anderson's Coffee Company and we were in the area for breakfast while visiting Austin, so we stopped in. If you like coffee or tea, come here, but don't walk in expecting to buy a coffee or tea beverage to go - this is solely a roaster and gift shop that sells bags of coffee. We were welcomed in right away as we entered and helped with some recommendations in choosing a bag of beans - the employees were helpful and really nice. I had fun browsing the retail area with lots of mugs, coffee cups, travel mugs, tea kettles and tea pots, did I mention the mugs? They have a LOT of mugs. Nate got one that is heat sensitive with birds on it that change color as you add hot coffee. There seemed to be a slight emphasis on Japanese and other Asian items as well as several cat themed items, so I was smiling a lot as I kept noticing cat things. They had a whole display of fancy chocolate, some was pretty expensive. It was fun just looking around! It was a bustling shop as they were packaging up tons of coffee to ship out. Nate bought a pound of the Arthur blend which was recommended by the person helping us. Overall a very nice shop and highly recommended for any coffee lover. read more

OK, here's the thing. I barista'ed my way through college at a place that roasted their own coffee beans and I know good coffee. And, I've tried all the local roasters here in Austin. Anderson Coffee is HANDS DOWN THE BEST. And, it's not even close. They get great beans, and have that fantastic oiliness on them from roasting them perfectly. I can just make myself the most heavenly cup of coffee using their stuff - when I pour water in my pour-over, I get this amazing crema-thing going on in a way that I do not with other roasters here in town. Mwah, chef's kiss. Minor nits: their in-store experience is kinda lame because they are not open very often and they don't actually serve any coffee. They tease me mercilessly with all those amazing coffee smells and then serve me...zippo, zilch. Not kind. Anyway, with all that in mind, you might as well order online from them as go in store, unless you need a consult on what to buy. Their in-store staff is super knowledgeable, and I came away with a couple of surprise choices that have been pretty fantastic. Anyway, the quality of the coffee is enough to overcome the minor annoyance of the hours. SO. GOOD. read more

When you walk in, the smell of freshly roasted coffee greets you first. When you make your way to the counter to be helped by their friendly and knowledgeable staff, you can then take home those fresh roasted beans too. I described what we tend to like and brought home a few things to try. Very fair prices for such high quality coffee and great service and recommendations. The only thing I regret is that I've not gone in there sooner!! read more

Walked into the shop and it smelt like coffee and dog urine. They allow animals in the shop and it has a strong dog urine odor. I think employees are use to the smell. It was our first time and the stench was strong. Place was a let down. Sign says it is a coffee shop, but they don't sell brewed coffee. They only sell coffee beans and coffee mugs. We won't be back. read more

Greeted by staff upon arrival. Wide choice of roasted coffee. We prefer dark roasts, and both the Viennese Blend and the Sumatra were excellent. Convenient parking mid week. read more

I want coffee, do you want coffee, who wants coffee? Anderson's Coffee Company is the iconic coffee shop in Austin. It's over a 50 year tradition in our city. If you want the best beans, best teas, and or coffee supplies, candy, cards, gifts, then you need to come here. A well know establishment on Kerbey Lane and I promise you as beginner or coffee connoisseur, you won't be disappointed. The staff are beyond friendly and so darn knowledgeable. There isn't a bean they don't know. Always willing to recommend a tasty treat. Coffee beans rotate and then there are their amazing house blends. KG always steers me right with her recommendations. I recently purchased the Arabian mocha, small bean coffee described as a bit fruity. I never thought coffee to be fruity but OMG this is beyond delicious. They sell in whole beans and also can grind to your liking. I have an areopress and that's my jam. If you want the best it is here, 50 years plus says a lot. read more

I was very unhappy with the quality of the Guatemalan coffee. I've had it all over Guatemala and hadn't twisted anything as bitter and nasty flavored as theirs. Won't make that mistake again read more

Quaint and welcoming, Anderson's coffee will wow anyone from coffee aficionados to connoisseurs. From the moment you step into the shop, the fresh coffee smell hypnotizes you and the friendly staff helps you find your perfect blend. I highly recommend getting their holiday blend! It's so deliciously rich and fruity, just as the staff described it. Their blends are second to none, and a huge plus is the fact that they don't mix in spices, it's all coffee! I have yet to try the other two blends I got but I can already tell I'm in for a treat. I'll update this review once I try them haha I wish I had found this place a lot sooner because it has truly elevated my morning cup of coffee. If you're a coffee lover like me, you MUST check this spot out! read more

Anderson's is an Austin classic (around 50 years or so) the best coffee in Austin, by far. Many roasts and grinds depending on your tastes and needs, locally freshly roasted from select beans, fair trade and/or organic, selected by very experienced buyers so never any corners cut (I've been going and buying for nearly 45 years and went to school with the owners sons at AHS). If you try them, you're unlikely to buy any other coffee IMHO. read more

LARGE variety of coffee. Amazing flavor! All roasted in-House. These folks know coffee. Great variety of brewing devices. Cups, kettles, teas, chocolate bars you don't find at H.E.B. Go there, you won't regret it! read more

I am so happy I finally had the chance to try this place!! My husband and I bought our wedding bands (and engagement ring) at the jeweler across the street from this place and ever since we picked them up, I had the biggest curiosity to go in here. A mask is required to go in, they have some as soon as you walk in just in case you forget. I think we went during a slightly busy time because there were like 4 different people checking out customer's, no official line, and I was a little overwhelmed. I felt like I had to hurry up and make a decision but luckily, the lady was able to recommend me a few different roasts depending on what I liked.... I told her I like medium-dark roast coffee.... I bought the Holiday blend which has been AMAZING for my lattes in the morning, it is very smooth and creamy and just PERFECT. I also bought the Vienna and Mexico Chapas. The Vienna was a bit darker or more bold I should say than the Holiday blend but was still very tastey with milk and vanilla syrup ;) The Chapas was a perfect medium roast that I wish I would have bought more of. This place shares a parking lot with a few other businesses but you can find lots of parking off the street. Overall, this place was amazing! They also sell tea, mugs, chocolate, coffee brewing equipment, jam, cookies, etc. Definitely check this place out if you are needing some fresh coffee beans, you will not be disappointed!!! :) read more

Delicious coffee. Highly recommended! " I love the vibe and atmosphere. they have a vast variety of coffee. Amazing flavor! read more

the owner mrs anderson is very rude and judgmental. we are a business looking to get regular coffee suppliers for our office but she is just something else. they just lost a potential customer read more

Best place to buy coffee in Austin. I have been enjoying great roasted beans and great coffee at home for decades. Love this place.

I was sure I had left 5 stars at some point. Here they are. There's a great selection of coffees and teas here. Also lots of Walkers short bread cookies and several types of chocolates. There are lots of coffee cups and mugs. Lots of coffee makers, grinders and various accessories. The staff is helpful and mostly patient. I'm often amazed at the questions they are asked. It's not a sit down place and that's fine by me. I'm already looking forward to visiting soon. read more

I love everything about this shop. They sell the best stuff, and it has a very old world feel to it. It's one of few places I know that still feels like shops used to feel, if that makes any sense. They sell great espresso beans. read more

Great place to buy coffee. Large variety and they often have specialty blends for the Holidays. They have many wonderful coffee cups for sale as well. read more

Great selection of coffee! They'll grind it for you or you can get whole bean. While their shop is closed to the public, you can order online. They are always quick to ship your order. I am a huge fan of their fair trade Sumatra, but everything I've tried has been amazing. read more

Anderson is such a wonderful coffee seller. The workers here are so friendly, and they give samples of roasts out at their mini coffee station. The place smells strongly of good coffee, which is always a sign that a place sells strong, fragrant coffee. However, if you're a beginner coffee drinker beware. This shop is geared toward coffee drinkers that like their coffee dark. Anderson's does not make milkshakes with a teeny bit of coffee like Starbucks. My household enjoys drinking their dark Sumatra, and have doing so for decades. We even had Anderson coffee beans shipped to Virginia during our short period of living there because no place in Richmond could hold a candle to the quality of Anderson's coffee. As for the parking, you shouldn't have any problems since the other businesses don't have much business. Don't let the cars parked next to the road fool you, because those are people trying to eat at Russel's or Kerbey Lane Cafe. It's a shame that Russel's, the restaurant next-door, did not start supplying their coffee from Anderson until recently despite them being next to each other. read more

I left Austin 20 years ago and really missed their coffee. I order two pounds at a time online and I get it next day in Boerne via FedEx for ten dollars. I accidentally made a duplicate order this week and they caught it immediately. Great coffee and great people. read more

Only coffee we drink! We spent most of last summer in Colorado and had it shipped to us! I still have mugs I purchased there in the 80's. Love the shop and the people! read more

Walking by headed to Kerbey Lane and the smell of high quality coffee stopped me in my tracks. I walked in for the first time looking for a latte, and after speaking to a very pleasant gentleman discovered they sell coffee in bulk, but had cups of coffee for sale for $1.00. Since I was new, he said the coffee was on the house. I tried a Kenyan brew with real sugar cubes that was very pleasant. Couldn't walk out without purchasing a pound of their Costa Rican coffee. The gentleman even asked me which coffee brewer I have at home so he could get the grind just right. Foot traffic was pretty busy (people who had clearly been there before) which was surprising for a place that I wouldn't have noticed if the coffee smell hadn't stopped me. Man says they ship, so there's no excuse if you don't like driving downtown. Customer service was TOP notch and quality coffee will have me back! read more

Visited this little coffee/tea shop while visiting Austin for a work conference. They carry the cutest coffee and tea items and had a variety of coffee beans and teas for purchase. I found a Mr. Rogers coffee mug and his sweater changes colors!! The staff was super friendly and I bought all kinds of gifts for my mom and daughter. This place is a must visit!! read more

For the home brewer, Anderson's beans can't be beaten. The quality of the coffee you'll make is so unmatched by any other coffee beans I've tried. My personal favorites are mocha Java and Jakarta. I like to mix it up with some other blends, too-- like if I've missed their hours, I'll go to Russell Bakery & grab a bag of their blend. Not only great for buying coffee beans, it's also where I've bought all of my coffee brewing supplies-- chemex, filters, coffee bean grinder, electric kettle, airtight containers, and more. I love bringing people here as it's a true Austin landmark-- I mean I can't think of another store that has so much charm & character. Also a great place to find delicious & unique snacks, good tea, and gifts for coffee drinkers. Yay Anderson's! read more

I'm new to town and #1 priority was finding good coffee beans. I'm so glad I found Anderson's, the shop is cool with lots of coffee and tea related items to buy and the beans I got were top rate, the employee that helped me was knowledgeable and friendly. Plus, the prices were very fair for fresh beans. I'll be back! read more

Not a coffee house! I'm sure new peeps might think it's a place to sit and sip coffee, and although they do serve a daily grind it is mostly coffee beans, tea leaves and their accessories. The employees are very knowledgeable about the beans and leaves, as well as all the products on the store. I have been a fan of their Red Sea blend, which is coffee beans from east Africa. They get beans from just about every corner of the world. read more

Anderson's Coffee Company - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Anderson's. A magical haven of creaky wooden floors, steaming coffee, fairy lights strung across the walls. A place preserved throughout the years since its opening in 1972 - a place, in fact, that my aunt frequented thirty years ago. It's an Austin icon, a coffee lover's dream, and a four-eyed foodie's world to conquer. Upon entering, I always start on the left side of the store so that I can worship floor-to-ceiling shelves lined with mugs - in short, my happy place. A glance to the right lifts me higher and higher, because behold, sugary splendor: a table piled high with cookies, wafers, shortbread. I turn into the back room to take in too many tea bags to count, along with bars of chocolate, jars of local jelly and pickles, delicate china, and tea cosies with signs assuring me that it's not too good to be true: "yes, we do sell tea cosies!" It is with immense willpower that I turn away from tiny tea strainers and fancy French presses and force myself to the front counter. I've digressed from my original purchase plan only slightly: somehow, an Anderson's mug and two boxes of dark chocolate cookies are before me. I ask for a pound of the Sumatra after I've made my way through a small paper cup of its rich, smooth goodness. I indulge in the wait before the front counter as Bennie and the Jets serenade me, taking in the names of the different blends. Arabian mocha, Jakarta Blend, Kenya Fancy, Red Sea Blend, all carefully selected, each with its own rich story and fragrance. And the storyteller himself is before me, Jamie Anderson, complete with silver hair, bib apron and bow tie. He's kind, attentive, humble but also expert. I watch him answer any question from a customer, joke with his employees, lovingly explain his way through the many virtues of the Mocha Java. All too soon, my purchases are bundled into a brown paper bag and I'm stepping out underneath the long red awning into a day that is newly full of promise. I pull out from my parking space and let a woman cross in front of me, on her way into Anderson's. She dangles an empty mug in her hand that is soon to be filled with a one-dollar cup of coffee. It's as Anderson says himself: "This may go wrong, that may go wrong, but at least the coffee's good." read more

Anderson's Coffee Company - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Solid roasting of beans, I always get a few pounds here when I am near. I especially like that buying a few pounds doesn't break the bank.

I'd love to tell everyone to stay away from this place to limit my competition for Anderson's prized coffee beans. Needless to say, this place is amazing. Their beans are roasted expertly to fully enjoy their nuances and they have a great selection from various regions around the world. I recently moved from Seattle to ATX and am definitely grateful to have found this place to get all my coffee. Whatever you do, though, don't get their Costa Rican or Guatemalan beans. It's just terrible, terrible stuff which I will dispose of for everyone... read more

After more than 25 years I have completely given up Anderson's Coffee because of the service issues. The best coffee in Austin, the worst accommodation of customers. During the pandemic they refused to conduct curbside pick-up like every other store in town. How hard would it have been to place the person's bag outside the door when they arrived at the store? Instead, they charged 12.95 for shipping, which essentially doubled the cost of the coffee. Not feasible or ethical. When they finally opened the store again, they now refuse to take phone orders and insist that you come in and wait your turn. Mind you they're still requiring masks, so they have a concern about Covid, but their new policy requires that everyone wait together in that small space! Moreover, because of traffic growth in Austin there is absolutely no parking. I drove from really far away on a Saturday, orbited the area 3 times looking for a space, then gave up and went home. Anderson Coffee, you're dead to me! read more
