Ordered a breakfast sandwich for pickup. BIG portion size which was a nice surprise and their citrus cooler juice hit the spot in Austin's heat. Will be back for sure! read more

Right now this our favorite coffee must stop shop on the weekends. They have reasonably accommodating brunch menu, although no gluten free bread options that is an ongoing issue for my girlfriend. Hence one less star. Love the staff here. read more

I've been here a few times since it's opened and love the ambience. Nice place to get work done as there's usually a table available (and free WiFi). Their food and drink selection is awesome too. First time here I had a delicious egg bowl and the barista made me a fabulous tea drink (can't remember what it was called but it had milk, early grey and vanilla flavor). Today I had the mushroom and Swiss panini and it was yum. Good food and good service! read more

The coffee is pretty good but a bit expensive. The atmosphere is also nice with plenty of places to sit. For the most part it's pretty quite so it can be a nice place to study. read more

I got a wrap and an americano with hazelnut. The coffee tasted the way chlorine smells. I'm not sure what the issue was, I'm a coffee drinker and I'm definitely not picky. But what was that?! Also my order took over an hour to prepare. I ordered around 12:30pm and didn't get it until around 2pm. I used doordash, they show you the steps and the coffee arrived hot so I know it wasn't the deliverers fault. I work for doordash so know this for sure. Pricey.. but I was looking for some nice (or at least decent) coffee/food. I won't order from there again sadly. read more

Wow. Been a long time since I've had such genuinely great service. The food and coffee was so good. Simple. Things I always want but can never find. Everything in Austin has gotten too complicated. This was amazing food, great service and great beer and wine selection. So happy. read more

Not very good. Went with my friend and her sister and the service was really bad, we felt as if we were a burden as soon as we walked in. Our food came out before our coffee and my coffee was 75% milk. We sat down in this area to eat, when the barista claimed that area was closed due to Covid, but moments later a couple came and sat there and were not asked to move. Not to mention the tummy troubles that followed hours later. My friends and I takes cafes VERY seriously and this was an utter disappointment. read more

This place is amazing. I crave the açaí bowl. Everything is so good. The avocado toast, pizza, calzones, paninis and wine and mimosas.

Barley Bean is great! It's got a cool Austin vibe with lots of options, food, drink and even Happy Hour. They have a super fun staff with great service. Hannah made great recommendations. She's amazing! This place fits in perfectly in the Austin's west campus neighborhood. I love it and have already spread the word. #AustinCoffee #NotSeattle read more

This place is super trendy looking and everyone there is really nice. The espresso is great and the "pesto presto" sandwich was really good. My only complaint would be that the bread kind of fell apart easily but it was good bread. The over all atmosphere of Barley Bean was modern while being welcoming. The staff and food were both excellent :) read more

Idk why I just really like this place. Friendly staff, good coffee and food. I think they have wi-fi and beer too although I never stay inside, usually just grab breakfast and coffee in the morning. read more

This was my first time trying Barley Bean. The atmosphere was great and the staff was very friendly. I got the egg on toast and a draft latte, my husband got the biscuit. My draft latte was excellent--so smooth! My husband liked his biscuit sandwich. I did not finish my egg on biscuit because there was no flavor, but I appreciate how fresh everything seemed. My one criticism is that they seemed to be selling cigarettes under a picture of movie icons smoking cigarettes. If "healthy" is part of a business's mission, then I think they should encompass that in every aspect. Instead, this location seems to encourage smoking. Overall, I had a great morning coffee here. read more

I've not ever written a Yelp review before but I've now been compelled to do so after the same mistake has been made, twice, at this location. I absolutely love Barley Bean's avocado & turkey salad, but for the second consecutive time, I've paid for this salad only to find that no avocado was added. IT'S IN THE NAME OF THE SALAD. I'm not sure where the disconnect is at this location. The first time was fine because I dined in. But the second time was to-go and I was disappointed when getting home for lunch. Hopefully orders are more carefully prepared in the future. read more

This place is awful. The staff is laziest I've ever seen. They yelled my order to the staff that was supposed to be making food. There were two people making a panini and it WAS STILL SLOW. I'm talking 20 minutes for a panini. Are. You. Kidding. Me? Maybe if the chips were house made I could understand why it took so long but no, it was a bag of Mrs. Vickis ghat I could've gotten from a gas station. This place opened 3 months behind schedule and I hope it closes so that a better restaurant can take its place. I won't be returning and you shouldn't let them waste your time either. read more

Stopped in for an iced mocha and a muffin. The muffin was fairly stale and the mocha tasted about like a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf-level offering. read more

We thought we'd give this place a try for breakfast on a Saturday. They finally opened after months of delays. We arrived at 8:30 am and there were only 2 people there-not a good sign for a Saturday morning breakfast place in Austin. We ordered a cinnamon roll and 2 biscuits with sausage. The cinnamon roll was ok, not great. It was made with phyllo dough and iced. Not terribly impressive but acceptable had it not been stale. They heated it a little but that did not overcome the staleness. That was followed by the biscuits that came out shortly after that. The biscuits, on paper, sounded good-scrambled eggs, cheese and sausage. Unfortunately the biscuits were even more stale than the cinnamon roll and completely crumbled apart when we tried to cut them. So it ended up being an egg, cheese, sausage and bread crumble. Had the biscuits been fresh, it might have been good but the whole point of the biscuit is to be a vehicle to hold the egg, cheese and meat. On this they failed. Also something was a little cold inside the mix. I'm not sure if it was the egg or the meat but it didn't get heated all the way through. Overall a very disappointing experience. Staff was minimally pleasant but didn't make too much of an effort to be friendly, certainly no small talk. We were there 30 minutes and no one else came in while we were there. Maybe their pizza, coffee or drinks are better but they've got a long way to go with breakfast. read more

I worked for this company for a day or two in the summer of 2019, I worked an entire 10 hour shift training and found that the place is extremely shady, and the owner couldnt answer any of my questions I asked about scheduling and pay. I was NEVER PAID for my day of work, and called many many times, the owner, the restaurant, I physically went up there to see what the deal was, and they pretended they never heard of me. I've tried to report this to BBB and HR but it's not as easy as I only worked one day. But at this time I was struggling immensely with bills and taking care of family in my home. I was never paid and no matter how many times I reported it nothing was ever done!!! This is a bad business to work at. DON'T EVEN TRY TO WORK HERE THEY WILL FUCK YOU OVER AND ACT LIKE YOU NEVER EXISTED ONCE YOUR'E GONE. They wouldn't even give me lunch or a break when I was there. The entire business is shady and controlled by a tyrannical owner that apparently can't even pay his staff. What a shame for a cute place. read more

Came here a few weeks ago with my gf looking for something new to try on S Lamar. I can safely say this is the worst experience I've had at a "restaurant". The location is great, but with little to no parking spots. The service was horrible, employees weren't friendly or very inviting to us being new customers. After no help or recommendations from the cashier I decided to settle for a Turkey panini! What could go wrong? Everything....both of our sandwiches were 90% bread that was stale and barely edible, the turkey was cut into thick slices that were chewy and bland. The side soup they offered tasted like COLD water and salt. Put it aside and went to the counter to order a Mango smoothie which was icy and sour. I felt sick to my stomach and threw up on the side of the road. A few hours later after feeling less sick to my stomach I decided to call the store and give them my opinion. They said "we don't have a manager right now, but someone will give you a call" I left my name and number and never to this day have gotten an call. Sad to say we were looking forward to this place after looking for something aroundS Lamar for something new. Don't recommend this place. SUCKS read more

There is so much to choose from to eat and drink and they do it all well. I thought they were trying to do too much with coffee, alcohol beverages, breakfast and dinner food, but I was wrong. I'm having breakfast now (avocado toast and my gal the croissant sandwich) and they are quality. Good flavor. Good vibe. And affordable! Highly recommend. Come give this place a shot. For sure. read more

Love this place. Great seevice; great, tasty products. The sandwiches (pannini) are yerrific. I especially love the turkey pesto panini. I come here almost daily - love the staff! read more

The atmosphere at Barley's was very ambiant and relaxing. Their employees were polite and knowledgeable. They have a great selection of coffees and beer to choose from. I was surprised at how good their vegetarian paninis were. The bread and veggies were obviously fresh. Overall amazing experience. I will definitely be coming back! read more

wow i have benn searching austin for the best coffee and i think i have found it. been to summermoon and trianon and starbucks in south austin all to no avail read more

This place is incredible my mom and I went together and the entire concept of Barley Bean was great. We got a pesto sandwich and it was the best thing we had all day. On top of that the service was extremely fast. The Cashier was very nice to us! This place looked like a mansion it was beautiful :) thank you! 10/10 read more

I Went to do a job at the condos behind this place yesterday. So I decided to grab some coffee. Not only was the service better than that of Starbucks, the coffee was too. And they're there to serve the customers , not just sell you coffee. I will be going there instead from now on. read more
