Barley Bean is a super cute coffee shop with great natural lighting, lots of seating both indoors and outdoors, and plenty of outlets for those working from anywhere. They have a full food menu and offer a variety of drinks, including beer. I ordered the breakfast tacos, but unfortunately, they were pretty bland, even with the salsa. For drinks, I ordered a hot Matcha Latte with Oat Milk, and it felt like a warm hug perfect for a cold day. Since I came on the cusp of breakfast and lunch, I saw a customer wanting a beer, however, the staff was unknowledgeable with the options, which led to some customer frustration. It might be helpful for the staff to familiarize themselves with the beer offerings and have some notes to better assist customers. read more

I really wanted to like it here. I gave it another shot after trying something like their oat milk latte (which was okay), I came back this time and tried the Brown Sugar latte this was one tasty. I had it to go, and in a very small cup. I honestly was shocked that I paid almost 7 bucks for it. I also tried the croissant with bacon. It was also okay. I'd probably come back again for snacks since half of the store is convenience now, but not for the coffee or eats. The barista wasn't super friendly but also the customer service wasn't the best. Granted it was 7:30am when I came by, even more of a reason to greet someone with something as small and simple as a smile. read more

Quick and friendly service! Second time trying and it did not disappoint. Latte had a good balance of flavor and wasn't overly sweet. Can definitely taste the pistachio and cherry flavor. Smallish parking lot, but had no troubles finding a spot. Took it to go, but they do have open seating with lots of space if you wanted to hang out. read more

Okrrr, cute Barley Bean. You have a lot going for ya. And for fans of coffee... and pastries and gelato and pizza ....and wine, beer, snacks, etc. Ya heard right. Barely Bean offers more than just beans - they have beer (hmmm, hence the name?!) and all of the aforementioned. My bestie Katie B and I were on a morning walk with furbabe Ron Bear and dropped in for some morning coffee. So many options, but I went for a alt milk latte. Drink was hot and warmed me up just right. read more

Popped in for a self date breakfast since my boyfriend was out with the boys and I didn't feel like cooking for myself. The restaurant is counter service so you are greeted by a barista as you enter and can place tour order promptly. Despite being mainly a coffee shop they offer a nice selection of breakfast and lunch options as well as several beers on tap. I ordered the brown sugar cinnamon myracle latte ($6.50) which was delicious! It was a great balance and perfect temp to drink when it came out. For brunch I ordered the Chicken & Waffles ($15) which came out quick, hot and fresh! I was surprised to see that the buttermilk fried chicken was actually a chicken patty and the spicy maple syrup just tasted like regular maple syrup but the meal was still enjoyable. I would say they should rephrase the menu description a bit to better manage expectations. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch and got the chicken salad croissant sandwich and damn it was delicious! I love the croissant bread and the chicken salad was great.

Service was quick - food came out in less than 5 minutes! read more

Always a delight. The baristas are so nice and helpful and willing to bring whatever recipe I come up with to life. They have both tables and a couch area and great WiFi. Round that out with pastries, a full lunch menu and wine and beer and there's no need to ever go anywhere else. read more

Barley bean is the best. Not only do they serve quality coffee, but their food is surprisingly very good. I ordered an omelet and it was high quality and served shortly after ordering. Today I ordered the Vanilla Pistachio Rose Cardamom Latte with sweet foam which is on the fall favorite menu. During the seasons, I always look to see if businesses have holiday drinks, and if they do that is a plus in my book. The drink was nice, warm, and flavorful as I tasted the vanilla and subtle pistachio rose. Cardamom lattes are one of my favorites because they are sweet and typically mix well with different syrups. Barley bean is a good place to get some work done if you WFH but not the best place to do so. The music can be on the louder side, so if you need some small tasks to be done then that would be easier to do here. The employees are really great at recommending drinks and food, they have not done me wrong before. In addition, the shop also has games like chess. I haven't played in years but when I played with my friend is was like I never stopped. It was a fun activity to do as we finished our drinks. There is also an outdoor patio full of seating. Parking is located in the back, typically I do not struggle getting a parking spot but if it gets packed then I could see that being an issue. Overall, great place, sometimes I wish they had a drive thru for quick visits but typically they are always pretty quick! read more

This is a great coffee shop in a very convenient location. I like how they have dedicated parking spots. I had an iced matcha latte which was very refreshing! This was a nice spot to meet up and catch up. Very relaxing. read more

I ordered an iced matcha latte, and unfortunately it wasn't great. When it came out, I saw that it was that pale green color where you know it will just taste super milky and lack matcha flavor. They do offer either an unsweetened matcha or a sweetened matcha, and I chose the sweetened one. While I doubt my choice would've made a different in terms of overall taste as it really comes down to how the matcha is made, I do appreciate that they have options. A positive to Barley Bean though is that the barista who took my order was super friendly and patient. Additionally the shop has a good amount of seating options, and while they do share a parking lot with the adjacent apartment building(?) they do have spots reserved for customers. While their matcha wasn't very impressive, I would go back and try out their coffee if I'm ever in the area again! read more

I met my friend here on Sunday morning. We got there around 9:30 and there were a few people that trickled in and out but overall it wasn't busy. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We did not order any food but they do have lots of packaged snacks on a table near the register and I bought some pretzels for later. I got the brown sugar latte, which was pretty good. I got it iced and it comes with an alternative milk option. The coffee was pretty good, the cafe was cute with good music, and there's free parking! I would definitely go back. read more

Such a great spot. Needed to do some work on the fly and just looked for a spot near me. The staff was so amazingly nice and welcoming. The drink and food options were perfect. They have a cool print thing also. Basically you can print stuff if need be from there. I can't really explain since I didn't use but it's a service that is being hosted at that location. I will Definitely go back if I'm the area. Only down fall was the small parking lot but i guess It's fine for the size of the shop. read more

BarleyBean Coffee - a glass of iced coffee next to a laptop - Beer Bar Near Me - Austin, Texas

It took 40 minutes to get a toasted bagel and cream cheese, that wasn't toasted, just warmed up. And it wasn't busy.

I have to say, I'm genuinely confused. Austin is known for being eclectic and "weird"--but never rude. We came to town for the weekend and were excited to visit Mission Burger , which we love. However, if you want a beverage with your meal, your only option is Barley Bean. Unfortunately, both times we've eaten here this weekend, the staff at Barley Bean have treated us with visible irritation, like our presence was an inconvenience. The looks we received said, "I hate everything," and the energy matched. It's really disappointing to feel so unwelcome, especially while trying to support a local favorite. Honestly, it feels like a mismatch in values--Mission Burger offers great food and good vibes, while Barley Bean doesn't seem to align with that spirit at all. Whatever you do don't ask for ice read more

Wake up and smell the coffee! Why are y'all sleeping on this cozy cafe/bar when they have a whole separate vegan menu? The Impossible sausage biscuit here is just the tip of the iceberg, and it's only getting better. Their breakfast tacos get a lot of buzz, but I'm often swayed by the Thai tofu bowl for lunch. That means a sizable slab of marinated tofu, spicy cucumber pickles, roasted sweet potatoes, sliced almonds, brown rice, and a savory, spicy almond dressing that's good enough to drink. Why did it take me so long to finally get out there?! I won't make that mistake again, especially since I still need to try those tacos. read more

Love the options and flavors here! Staff are friendly and helpful. They even have a separate plant based menu. However, the plant based menu does not mean "vegan" The biscuit has buttermilk in it. Not sure what else, that's the only one I asked about. I wish they would make the plant based menu 100% plant based and vegan friendly. Hopefully one day in the future! read more

Barely Bean has my heart. I love their pizza and Salads! The food is really quite good for a coffee shop. It's important to note they also sell wine and beer!! The music is usually mellow and hip but the small is really small. I don't drink coffee but I 100% recommended their chai latte--it's spicy and sweet. read more

We stopped at Barley Bean right before closing in the afternoon. The barista was still extremely helpful, patient, and kind to us, which was very cool. My husband and I both got iced white mochas. He ended up getting a hot and spicy sandwich as well, which he really enjoyed. We loved the shops vibe, it was incredibly cute! The merch was really fun and there was plenty of space to hang out for a bit. We obviously did not since it was closing and we were headed to see friends. Most importantly, our coffee was delicious. We would definitely come by another time when in the area. read more

Sadly, I totally slept on this place for years. Something about it made me think "chain" and I avoided the possibility of corporate coffee. Man, was I so wrong! Don't just a book by it's cover. The spot is LOCAL and super keep-Austin-weird vibes in the best way. The baristas are always helpful and friendly, and the make a pretty great iced oat latte. They also have food but the one time I tried getting breakfast tacos, they took awhile and messed up my order twice - first by not making my tacos gluten free on corn, and then second by adding cheese so they were not dairy free and I couldn't eat them (sadly I discovered it at home). So no great experience with food. It's also very chill inside and has an outdoor area as well; people seem to always be getting work done. read more

BarleyBean Coffee - NEW Nirvana Bliss - Beer Bar Near Me - Austin, Texas

There are tons of coffee shops in the city of Austin. I feel like I've been to them all, except this one, until now. Barley Bean is probably my top favorite coffee! I ordered a hazelnut latte with oat milk and It had the perfect amount coffee to milk and I could actually enjoy it without it being so so sweet. I just went in for a quick drink and discovered they have a full menu, great spot to get work done. Will be back for more! Nothing stood out about service but he got the latte out in a timely manner and was pleasant. Thanks Barley Bean! read more

They recently changed their menu taking the brown sugar cinnamon myracle latte off and the muffins are somehow smaller. They also added a burger bar to the other half of the coffee bar... and are now having incessantly annoying socials nearly every weekend, making this less of a coffee shop and more of a spectacle. If you're looking for a chill coffee shop with decent coffee, this is not the place. If you're looking to party at a coffee/vegan burger joint, then by all means check it out. read more

When you walk in, you are greeted by this wonderful atmosphere, a combination of calm energized. The bright room with plenty of seating makes it a great work or read spot. They have a plethora of drink options for any part of the day. I ordered the brisket sandwich, and it was well worth the $5. Out comes with a large heated up fresh biscuit and eggs plus a meat of your choice. My only suggestion for the sandwich was that it needs some type of sauce whether that's butter, jelly, or salsa, I'm not sure, but it was a tad dry. My only reconnection for the place is that some of the employees were a bit lost at the requests customers were making. It seemed like, after each customer ordered, the cashier would have to go back and ask how to do something which caused the line to move pretty slowly. read more

First off, their "famous" pepperoni pizza is at least famous in my household. I ordered one one Friday afternoon and it kicked off the weekend on just the right tasty note! The crust had that wood-oven crisp while maintaining a pinch of doughiness. Grease from the cheese and added that nice savory, salty flavor and the pepperoni was charred nicely and big! I've been back now a couple times for a beverage and some avocado toast and had lovely experiences with the staff each time. Love that they have free wifi, parking, and outdoor/indoor seating. read more

Drinks were OK but nothing special. Ordered chicken and waffles and biscuits and gravy. The chicken and waffles consisted of a chicken cutlet and what resembled a Belgian toaster waffle.

My egg and cheese on what was called a croissant was absolutely disgusting. I didn't order coffee. I make espresso at home. Is not return here.

Stopped in for a coffee and breakfast taco. I had the lavender latte. The latte tasted good very strong lavender taste which I enjoyed. I also enjoyed the latte being served in a regular mug instead of a to go cup. I had missed the feeling of enjoying my coffee and relaxing in a coffee shop. The taco was large, glad I only ordered one . I actually needed to use my fork to eat it. It had a lot of pepper in it which was fine for me but could be a bit much for some people. Overall I enjoyed this coffee shop and look forward to trying the other breakfast items and different coffees. read more
