We were visiting my BFF in Austin, and I just knew I had to take my family here. I came with my…read moreBFF, my mom, and my aunt. They had me help them choose their drinks during this visit. Neither of them could finish their entire glass of beer, so I ended up chugging the remaining half of both of theirs. The customer service was so sweet--I was struggling to translate the menu with my mom, and the guy at the front desk was truly helpful throughout. It really raised the experience of this place during what could've been a relatively stressful situation. Dirty Horchata - I was hoping for a stronger horchata taste. It's not bad, so it was worth the shot! Just grateful it wasn't too sweet. My BFF felt the same, as we're both horchata fiends from growing up in Chicago. Cherry Cider - The cider has a tangy taste. The cherry flavor isn't as strong, but it's a fragrant drink. The flavor slowly became sweeter the more I drank it. It grew on me, but it wouldn't be my go-to unless I knew I was munching on something salty that night. Violet Blueberry Blonde - My favorite of the two. This one has a tamer flavor with a nicer floral note. It was exactly what I asked for. I felt like I could've easily chugged a few of these. The guy at the counter definitely chose a great pick. I love the low-key ambiance of this place, the peaceful nighttime atmosphere, the fact that it's wedged into a cozy nook, and how it isn't so LOUD like many bars. Didn't get bit by a mosquito while we hung out there for an hour, so that's a huge plus. They were probably chewing on my friends' legs too intently to consider me, though. Wish I had something like this near my place in Houston. I would regularly hang out here on a weekday, no cap.

Tons of outdoor and patio seating, a few tables indoors in the AC. I ordered the Flapjack, hot, with double espresso in a larger cup, with half sweetness (effectively a large with less services). Delicious saltiness and cinnamon! I really enjoyed this. I tried the honey lavender latte which they said was the least sweet of their fort favorites. The lavender flavor was very forward and there was a hint of sweetness on the back of the tongue, so very accurate. I didn't get as much coffee flavor here so maybe double espresso if that's important to you. Friends also tried the seasonal coconut macadamia latte (they said it was nice, like a sweet nutty flavor). Really solid coffee spot with great vibes, I'd come back.

A big group lines up to order coffee after our 2.5 or 4-mile runs, and Noble Joe always provides quick and friendly service. They have seasonal specials like Coconut Vanilla Chai, Salted Maple Mac Latte and Mango Matcha. The open seating area with tables and benches, is spacious enough to accommodate a large group. "Empowering people through Coffee" is an apt motto. Every cup of "Joe" helps to empower someone in need. Each purchase helps fund micro-loans for aspiring entrepreneurs, and they donate to various local Austin nonprofits. And every product they serve is sourced from other local, small businesses in Austin.

They had kolaches and breakfast tacos. We had just eaten so I didn't get to try any of those, but I got their peach cobbler matcha from the seasonal menu.

Overall it's a less sweet matcha if that's your preference but I was hoping for a sweeter and more peach forward drink.

I was torn on choosing a crepe I had previously tried, or trying something new entirely. The barista/cashier was super helpful on narrowing down my options, and so I stuck with the Crepe Madame-- can't go wrong with a classic! Absolutely, NOOOOO REGRETS. I will say after just eating one, I WANTED MORE... but that could also be my Texan heart wanting the usual Texan portion size. They also serve a mini salad on the side, and whatever dressing they're using-- SPECTACULAR. If you're curious why the menu has some Vietnamese influence on the menu, you're not mistaken. It's Vietnamese Owned, so maybe get a little adventurous and try out the Saigon Crepe or be bold and order a Cafe Sua Da or Vietnamese Espresso Martini. Atmosphere: WF wherever folks, you'll love this place. Plenty of space & if you need a quaint conference room, you can reserve and pay $20/hour or $150/day.

I ordered the almond brown sugar latte, and it tasted watered down, overly sweet, and the almond syrup was overpowering. After seeing photos online, I asked if they served food. The staff initially said no, then pointed me toward the pastry case. I ended up getting a kolache, which could have been toasted longer because it was still doughy and slightly undercooked. The staff was friendly, but overall they weren't very helpful. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the hype.

We snagged some seats and spent about 20 minutes here - the line gets very long, like out the door and into the sun, but it moves pretty quickly. Restroom was nice and neat. They have some cute merch for sale.

The space is aesthetically pleasing and really calming, a great place to study or just decompress. Mixed Rice Paper with Tamarind Sauce ($12.95): Yum, probably the best banh trang tron we have had in Austin or at least the most consistently good one. They ask if you want the ingredients kept separate or mixed together. If mixed, you need to eat it right away. We have tried both ways and even when we kept them separate and ate it later it was still just as good. Rice Paper Rolls / Banh Trang Cuon ($12.50): This one is different from the mixed rice paper in that it comes rolled with egg, while the other version has quail eggs and beef jerky. I think this rolled version is becoming my preferred way to eat banh trang. The dipping sauce that came with it was also really good. Mixed Rice Paper with Chili Salt / Banh Trang Muoi Ot Tron Kho ($6.50): A bit pricey for what it is but this is hard to find in Austin and it was well made. The rice paper was the right texture and the chili salt amount was spot on. Y7. Winter Melon Icy Slush ($6.80) + Crystal Taro ($1.15): Wow this was delicious and super refreshing. It was a bit too sweet for me but perfect for my husband. I loved the crystal taro too since you can taste the subtle taro flavor when you chew it. F1. Bee Vietnamese Style ($6.80) + Lychee Jelly ($0.95): My husband ordered this one but ended up liking the winter melon icy slush more. It was not bad but just nothing special.

They have a small parking lot on the side, along with a few spots specifically for takeout. As the name suggests, it's also a gift store, which makes the place even more unique. The inside is very clean and modern. I ended up getting a vanilla latte, which was a little bitter for my taste, but it was still a good coffee. My favorite thing about this place was definitely the outdoor space in the back. It's very relaxing and beautiful. The uniqueness of the interior, combined with the amazing outdoor space, makes Maaribu a place worth visiting!

I'd walked by this place on many a drunken night, listening to the music and laughter coming from within, but never took the opportunity to visit. I had some free time on a sunday, I needed to get some work done, and what better place than a coffee/cocktail bar that has a cool take on tacos? After walking through the bar, and an outdoor seating area, I made it to the taco shop. The menu wasn't extensive, but it was detailed. I opted for a pina colada, and the fried chicken tacos. Now, please be patient cause they make everything (including the tortillas) from scratch. And I finished most of my drink before I got my food, but it was well worth the wait! The fried chicken was so crispy, but the craziest thing about these tacos were the shells: they were made of waffle cones! Which can throw one off, but it was surprisingly good. I have no clue how much I paid because I was so focused on the drinks and food, but I will be back!
