Cool spot, but a service snafu ruined it. Came in for a shot of espresso. Pricey, but that's expected for this area. What wasn't expected is getting served in a disposable paper cup! No one asked if it was for here or to go. Later I found out they have plenty of ceramic shot cups, so I'm not sure what to chalk this up to. Either way, if I'm drinking my coffee in the cafe then I much prefer to have it out of a real cup than a thin paper one that loses all the heat almost immediately. read more

Had a great experience here. I got an iced caramel latte with oat milk and it was good! A bit on the sweet side, but I personally like that. The ambiance is really nice but there isn't a ton of seating per se. The place can get full quick. Nevertheless, I still recommend trying it out. The WiFi don't require a password and it worked great. Had zero issues. read more

Stopped by the carpenter coffee bar the other day for the first time. The place is so aesthetically pleasing. The barista quickly got to work with our drinks and made such a cute and tasty cappuccino for me. Seating is a little limited here and most people are just on their laptops working. Not really a place if you want to sit inside and have a conversation but they do have a patio I believe you can sit out. read more

I walked in and was immediately welcomed with a cozy but elevated coffee bar lounge. I was greeted with a friendly welcome. I got the massive blueberry lemon scone and Ladybird latte. It was all for a great price. The total was about $11 for both and it was so worth. The scone had an amazing balance of crisp and fluffy texture. The flavors were amazing too (if you can't tell, I'm still dreaming of this scone). The Ladybird latte was refreshing and wasn't too sweet. The orange zest was a wonderful touch and is quite addicting. Definitely ordering again. The lounge area is spacious and comfortable too. Such a cute area. Returning 100% and could not recommend enough! read more

This coffee shop is rad! We have been wanting to stay at the hotel for years (we visited Austin 2x yearly before moving back), and the dates never worked out. Looking forward to a possible staycation. But let's talk about the coffee bar itself. It's set up right in the hotel lobby with comfy seating and a place to spin vinyl. The aesthetic is very welcoming. The drinks are pretty good as well. I've had the Ladybird Latte in the past; it's a fragrant combo of rosemary and orange. Love! In addition, they do a good lavender cappuccino. Fresh bagels, danishes, and croissants as well as pretty decent brekkie tacos. They also have happy hour from 3-5 pm. If you're going to Barton Springs or Zilker, it's super close and a great place to stop before or after park adventures. read more

I loved the garden ambiance outside and inside with the cool leather chairs and record player. The ladybird latte was so yummy I got it half sweet it had orange zest and was just what I needed after a 5 mile run. Staff were friendly and drinks came out fast. read more

This coffee bar has been on my list for so long! Took a long walk around lady bird and stopped in for some coffee and a snack. Such a calming vibe inside and kind staff. Loved the laid back sitting area -- not noisy at all like some coffee shops, and lots of solo people working, or on laptops! Entire hotel grounds are super cute. Can't wait to come back and try the restaurant! Came around noon on a Saturday and not too busy at all. Recommend! read more

The ladybird latte which consists of orange rosemary flavor and a zest of a range to top it off, is phenomenal. I'd come back here for that. This is a hotel/resraurant/coffee shop. Very chic and modern with a cozy feel. They have limited seating inside, but plenty of covered shaded seating outside. read more

Cute lil cafe located in a hotel lobby selling beverages, treats, and eats. I came when it was pouring rain outside so it was absolutely packed. They were able to seat me at a neighboring hotel though :) Matcha Latte ($5.5) was wonderful. Staff is very accommodating. Good Wi-Fi. read more

Hotel lobby open cafe-- there's not a lot of seating, and 50% of the seating is low couches and tables so be wary of this if you're trying to co-work here. The coffees not the best but decent enough, and the ambience is really nice and warm so I like coming here. Street parking is a bit difficult but worth it if you can find a spot. read more

I've never seen a hotel coffee bar this busy, every day. We stayed at the Carpenter Hotel during our most recent visit to Austin for four nights, and the Carpenter Coffee Bar is located in the Carpenter Hotel Lobby, on Josephine Street across from P. Terry's. Every day, morning and evening, the coffee bar was lively. There's a really spacious seating area with couches, comfy chairs, and a counter spot with stools, along with free wifi, but it gets crowded often and easily. The espresso is provided by Jo's Coffee, part of the bunkhouse family (I think I saw La Colombe beans, but don't quote me), and they have all of the alternative milks available (yes, including oat milk). As they're open all day from 7am, they also have espresso martinis, with an espresso martini happy hour from 4-6pm. Aside from the coffee and espresso drinks, they have lots of pastries, including croissants, bagels, turnovers, overnight oats, chia seed pudding (my favorite), an egg sandwich, and a couple breakfast taco options, too. Staying in the hotel ? Feel free to take the food/drinks back to your room - everything is served to-go. read more

A perfect place to be productive. A cozy space to grab a good latte and hunker down. We ordered the ladybird latte, which has some strong citrus notes with a hint of rosemary. If you're not a fan of orange, we're confident their other coffees are stellar. Maybe we'll try some of their breakfast foods next time. There's plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.

A cute, aesthetic hotel coffee shop right next to Barton Springs Rd. Free street parking before 8am or all day on Sundays. My friend and I dropped in right at 7am on a Saturday for a post-run treat, and I ordered their Lady Bird latte (orange blossom and rosemary), iced, and a danish pastry. Service was casual and our barista was friendly! We took our treats to-go, but it looked very cozy inside to work or hang out for a bit. Their menu has a wide variety of snacks and light eats - from breakfast tacos and pastries to chia seed parfaits and sandwiches. I really enjoyed what I ordered! Pricing is pretty decent/comparable to most shops. read more

A cute little spot that's well decorated and inviting. We came by on a late Friday morning and the seats inside were taken up by people working on their laptops. The outside tables were more free, and we were able to relax in the shade of the umbrellas. I got a chai doughnut and a Lady Bird latte. The latte was delicious but I honestly forgot what the special ingredients were. We were also a little disappointed that the tacos were already sold out, but the doughnut was lovely and fluffy. read more

Was curious to check out this infamous coffee shop that has quality and located within a hotel. Very interesting concept as hotel coffee is usually mediocre at its finest but this proves otherwise. All coffee are served in a paper cup. For a work from home people, this place has a very decent spots and seating either outdoor and indoor to do so. I'd say it's a very comfortable working spot w solid wifi. Will definitely come back. Parking: paid parking on the street read more

This may be my new favorite coffee shop to work from (disclaimer: purely based on vibes). It's so aesthetic and calm and surrounded by beautiful trees that make it a productive space. Most other people were also working so there wasn't much distraction. There were outlets in many places so you could work from any spot. It seems like they allow dogs inside and I got to pet this sweet golden retriever. The outside seating was also very nice and the hotel has a big bathroom. I ordered a Ladybird which was a specialty coffee drink and thought it was pretty good but I'm not a coffee connoisseur. Their coffee station had various milks and simple syrup to adjust your drink. Overall, a great coffeeshop to work from. read more

Good coffee, fast service. The inside is super nice, but it is on the smaller side. They also have an outside area. This is attached to a hotel. They have parking in the parking garage, just let the valet know you are going to the coffee shop. read more

the pros: - good coffee - nice service - plenty of outdoor seating - inside seating and the area is quite nice - (but there's rarely a seat open- this is part of the cons ) the cons: - inside seating is limited and each time I've been there the place has been slammed with zombies staring at there computer screens. (I'd say it's the same at all coffee places in austin these days, but I know from experience that not all are this way). and it seems like folks grab a seat and set up for the day ... so if it's cold out you are out of luck. read more

Such a hidden gem in Austin! I love how vibrant but cozy this atmosphere is. They're staff is very friendly and the tacos, pastries, and drinks are so delicious! I like the scone and chorizo, egg & cheese taco. I also really like their hibiscus tea. It's a little pricey but a great place to work remotely from or meet up with a friend. I highly recommend stopping in. Also, such a plus is their restrooms are private, many stalls and the soap smells so good!! read more

Staff was incredible, the vibe was perfect for a rainy Sunday, and the matcha was delicious! I recommend stopping in at Carpenter Coffee Bar.

Spending my lazy morning here as a guest of the hotel was well worth it. I should probably mention that my opinion may or may not be skewed by meeting a tiny puppy named Cheese in the shop. Cheese deserves 5 stars! Well, let's be honest here, Cheese deserves ALL of the stars. But irregardless of if you're blessed with Cheese's presence in this dog friendly shop, this spot is defined a cozy little corner on a rainy day. Walking in through the hotel side, you're greeted by a mixture of traditional Austin or Portlandesque muted Southwestern textiles. You know- exposed industrial pipes, matte blacks mixed with light and dark wood tones, records, low light, natural light, wovens, plants housed in terracotta/clay pots, and light Indyesque music that I cannot readily identify. I sat in the equivalent of an adult bean bag chair behind an art deco inspired vintage table among a mix of fit Austinite looking company. Men with beards and laid back professional style, women in athlesiure or athleisure with fall boots and myself, small, black eccentric...I stuck out like a sore thumb. Nevertheless, I mostly enjoyed my time. When ordering I can't say I was the focus- the staff continuously talked amongst themselves instead of engaging with me as a customer. However, the product I received was top notch, and easily enjoyed it in the atmosphere I mentioned above. With the exception of one couple, everyone was working away, and when folks wanted to engage with one another they whispered. I'm not sure I would go out of my way to visit this shop in the future, given the customer service, but I'll certainly stop in upon my next stay at the Carpenter! read more

Me and my girlfriend ordered two cortados with honey, and received the worst coffee drinks I've been served for $6 each! It's clear the barista does not care about the quality of product they put out. A cortado is a hot drink served 1:1 with espresso and steamed milk with a layer of microfoam at the top from steaming, typically served in a Gibraltar glass filled to the brim. What we received were two lukewarm coffee based milk drinks, no honey, in cortados glasses that were only 3/4 full and had different volumes of milk in each?? Absolutely no foam to be had, it genuinely seemed as though 1.5oz of room temperature milk was poured into hot espresso and served. The atmosphere in the shop was beautiful though. It's a shame they dont put that much pride into their product. I thought about saying something in person, but I'm not confrontational and figured if the drinks were that bad in the first place, criticism would fall on deaf ears. I went 1/6/2026 at 11am. Please train that barista. Anyone else reading, just get an iced drink. read more

Got the ladybird coffee, which was an orange rosemary latte. The coffee is a bit strong, so it definitely gives you a jump start in the morning. The toffee chocolate chip cookie was definitely a 5/5.

Coffee: 3/5 The coffee is pretty strong here! I had a cappuccino with whole mild which I thought we be more tame but still sort a slap in the face of coffee flavor. It was $4.50 and drip here is $3.5-4.5 so pretty pricey even if you get something basic. Ambiance: 5/5 I absolutely love coming here to work! A lot of the seating is shared so it's fun because you usually meet people, personally I find this a perk, but def depends on your personality. There are about 5 seats at the bar with chargers under, and it is right by a windows which is lovely. I don't know where the furniture here is from but I'm obsessed!!! Big comfy chairs and couches, bar stools also have a back which is huge!! Overall: 4/5 Coffee is a bit overpriced, but where isn't?! Great atmosphere, nice employees and they also have a great restaurant! I haven't been able to try it yet but have heard the food is wonderful. read more

Great coffee and service, with comfortable atmosphere. The overnight oats are my favorite...highly recommend!!

Wanted to hop back on here to post an update - I spent far too many hours working on a Sunday. So many that the cafe closed and the bar opened while I was there. I had no idea they turned over to a cocktail bar in the evenings but it was a pleasant surprise! While the selections were limited they had some really neat signature cocktails on their menu as well as wines (by the glass or bottle) and some small bites. I dropped the ball a little and did NOT snap a photo of the menu ‍ BUT I snagged one from the website for y'all! The cocktails were priced between $10-15 which seemed on par for the area and especially considering it was inside of a hotel. I ordered the Piedra de Sol $15. This cocktail was a mezcal based drink made with a hibiscus-habanero reduction and lime! This drink was perfectly balanced and so refreshing. I was deciding between this drink and the Cool Hand Cuke (Pisco, Italicus, Cucumber Cordial, Lemon & Lime) because I have a love for both spicy drinks as well as Pisco which i believe is terribly under appreciated. Looking forward to returning to try this one next. While I did not try any of the small bites they did have some interesting dishes - however, I personally felt the price points were a bit steep for what they were. (Menu attached) read more

While I am not normally a fan of a hotel coffee bar, this one was a pleasant surprise. The space itself is quite charming, with both indoor and outdoor seating. It had a nice fun and 'hip' vibe. Staff was very friendly, and they had a nice assortment of pastries and beverage options. They also do a happy hour with cold brew espresso martini's - which I tried and will say weren't the best and just tasted like a pre batched cocktail that had been sitting for a bit - but I won't hold that against them, it's fun that they are even trying to do something happy hour centric in the coffee bar. We were told to try the breakfast tacos, and I'll say it was good but for a chorizo and egg taco it was hard to find the chorizo. The salsa that it came with was good though and for grab and go I'd try it again. Overall, we enjoyed our experience at the hotel and if we were local we'd definitely visit the coffee bar regularly. read more

Tasty coffee but the micro-foam was a little coarse and didn't quite have the "wet paint" texture. Amazing ambiance with super cozy living room vibes. The wifi is free, but hasn't worked both times I've come so I wouldn't rely on it. Ok service, the barista was also the cashier so she seemed rushed and disinterested in being friendly/having a conversation. Overall would come again for the vibes but not necessarily the staff or coffee. read more
