Casita Café is actually a charming coffee truck serving coffee and specialty beverages along the MoPac Expressway frontage road between Steck Avenue and Spicewood Springs Road. Finding it turned into a bit of a quest for me. After several failed attempts, I finally realized that when my GPS announced, "You have arrived," I had already driven right past it. Pro tip: the truck is much closer to Steck Avenue than Spicewood Springs Road. Thankfully, Cassie, the owner, provided clear directions that made locating the truck easy.
As for the coffee, I ordered the iced Casita Café Latte, made with house-made spiced brown sugar and topped with cinnamon. The cinnamon tasted distinctly Mexican, adding a richer, warmer spice note that elevated the coffee. Smooth, flavorful, and refreshing, it was an excellent choice for a warm Austin day.
What made the visit even more enjoyable was Cassie. She was friendly, welcoming, and thoughtful in her interactions with customers. While preparing another order, she acknowledged me right away, let me know I was next, and thanked me for my patience. It was a small gesture, but one that made me feel valued as a customer.
After searching for it multiple times, I am glad I finally found Casita Café. Between the refreshing coffee and the genuine hospitality, it was well worth the effort. read more
