Perfectly made oat latte
Desiree A.

I truly enjoyed working from here. There was definitely a lot of people and waves in and out but the atmosphere was surprisingly chill. I was distracted by the interesting conversations around me which is something that never happens but I had forgot my headphones. That said, I left the cafe feeling more human than ever because I felt connected and unplugged.

nice ambiance

Ambiance: I've been to a handful of coffee shops around Austin, and this is now my go-to spot! It's really close to campus and feels very safe to be around. There is good Wi-Fi and plenty of natural light, so it is a great spot to lock in and get some work done. Drinks: The coffee here is not bad of a price compared to some other spots around the city. I have had both the matcha and mocha latte here, and I really like the mocha for a sweet refreshment. There is also a free iced water station which is super convenient.

Good vibe though crazy busy on a Saturday morning. My first time here so it was a mix of impressions. The London Fog has a good taste, but not steaming the milk and serving me luke warm tea was not acceptable. The 10oz tea was $4.50. I want to add that it took 15 minutes to get the tea and 24 minutes to get to toast. The country ham and cheese toast had an amazing flavor. I loved the toast! However, one small piece of toast with four slices of ham and a little more than a slice of cheddar was a serious letdown for a $10.50 order.

This is one of the friendliest Coffee places I've been too. From the moment I stepped in our experience was wonderful. The gentleman who took our order was super nice and so easy to talk with, I asked him a few questions about the tea and ended up with the iced London Fog and could not have been happier. It was just the right amount of sweetness with whole milk and was exactly what I needed to start my day. Plus they had the small crushed ice which is always welcomed in coffee over cubes in my opinion. Everything about this coffee shop seemed comfy, cozy and welcoming. I can see myself coming here to read, study, just enjoy the day. It's a must if you're on the drag.

iced cappuccino

I really like studying here, as the ambience is nice. The music isn't too loud. Depending on the table, the seats aren't the most comfortable. The coffee was okay, and served in a small cup. The price was appropriate however.

Eggs, avocado, arugula. I don't love arugula, and I had to pay extra for toast. Aside from that, delicious.
Susan L.

Kind, welcoming staff. Soundtrack on fire. Is it cheap? Nope, but it's across the street from the Flamingo Auto Repair, and they have a nice patio, too!

latte
Kimberlie C.

Okay, fav coffee shop in ATX. Super smooth and rich. A little of their simple housemade syrups goes a long way. Mid century modern interior and local art. Cute merch. Plenty of seating. Am a fan! ordered: latte w caramel syrup

Chai latte
Derek M.

Stopped in the meet a friend, and thought it was a nice spot. Was a bit packed without much seating, but the location was good and there was enough parking nearby. My chai latte with oat milk was solid, and the chia seed pudding was a nice little snack available for just $3. I could see myself using this place as a coffee meet up spot again in the future.

Avocado toast
Stephanie K.

Very cool spot north of campus hosting tasty espresso, Sour Duck pastries, and larger bites in case studying or more official business makes you want to stay all day. Fresh, airy space with LOTS of light to dream big dreams, with a range of working spaces (barstools, tables with outlets, lounge area) and kindly accommodating staff to ease any pushy Cappy vibes.

The photo makes the bagel look over toasted but it didn't taste that way! It had a little crunch on the outside and soft on the inside.

I tried Civil Goat for the first time today and will definitely be back. FOOD & COFFEE I originally went because I saw they had toasts which feel more like 'real' food than most cafe offerings. I ended up getting an everything bagel however because the avocado toast had bacon on it and I'm a vegetarian. There were other vegetarian and vegan options (cinnamon toast) but most were on the sweet spectrum and I wanted to savory. I wasn't expecting much from the bagel but was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The cream cheese was a whipped one and I loved it. I just wanted more! I also got a drip coffee that was superb. It was just damn good coffee. I hope to try their espresso and cold brew offerings in the future - if the coffee is any indication, I'm sure they'll be great. VIBE I really enjoyed the vibe and decor inside Civil Goat. It had that calming effect that 'real' cafes have. I felt like I wanted to bring a good book (instead of my work laptop!) and just waste an afternoon away. There are a few 'work-y' tables, a nice social area that had two small communal tables and a loungey area, but most seating was on stools at a bar facing Guadalupe. I was sitting at one of the stools and enjoyed myself but I was only there for about 30 minutes. I feel like it would be tough to do my aforementioned book lounging or even longer than 1hr. It would be tough to socialize with a friend with this set-up. I also could not see any plugs but wasn't looking to hard as I wasn't in need. SERVICE I'm... confused... by the staff. No one was rude to me but no one was nice to me. It's hard to describe. I felt a little bit like I was being a bother but it's not like anyone was overtly rude. I may be reading too much into it but I interacted with three people and not one smiled... and I'm a very smiley person so it felt strange to smile at someone without them smiling back. PARKING There's lots of space in the parking lot. PARENTS I won't be brining my little one here anytime soon. It feels beautifully calm and I feel like a toddler would not fit well. It also has a set-up that would not accommodate any stroller bigger than an umbrella stroller. I'm sure it'd be fine to run in a grab a drink/pastry to go but I can't see myself sitting there with my kiddo. OVERALL I will definitely go back to Civil Goat but not for a work sesh or with friends, definitely not with a kid. I'd go if I want some relaxing alone time with really good coffee.

Coffee was not great for price and it came in a small cup. The place had good vibes though.

london fog
Tracey Z.

The large windows here bring in so much sunlight - perfect for working or chatting with a friend. The only thing is there is limited seating - majority of their chairs is bar countertop style which is not always the comfiest. The London Fog is pretty good although in my opinion it was lacking that punch to make it stand out. Lots of food options too.

The chicken was cooked to perfection but that was the only thing we truly enjoyed. The biscuit was seemingly made in a sheet and cut. Even when we ordered a side it was split in half, so you never really got that satisfying bite of biscuit with the flaky top. Everything we had (the badass bacon and eggs, brisket breakfast sandwich, chicken sandwich, chicken and biscuit sandwich, and biscuits and gravy) were okay but not super. I was disappointed in the gravy which was just a little odd. The side of red potatoes was interesting but not our favorite. No hate to the place, just not at all what I was expecting. The service and /decor were great. The food was just not to our taste.

Their burger is easily one of the best I've had in Austin, especially paired with their thin, crispy fries. It's my go-to order almost every time. One thing I love is that they switch up the steak portion of the menu a few times a year, and it never disappoints. Right now they have the steak au poivre, which is incredible, although I'm still craving their steak frites and hoping it makes a comeback. The escargot and French onion soup are also favorites of mine. At this point, June's has become a staple in our house--usually with a couple of Diet Cokes and either the burger or whatever steak they're featuring. A few of my friends swear by the chicken sandwich (fair warning: it can get a little messy!), the half roasted chicken, and the tuna crudo, so you really can't go wrong no matter what you order. On top of the amazing food, the staff is always incredibly kind and welcoming, which keeps us coming back. I definitely recommend making a reservation since it tends to get pretty busy, especially during peak hours.

I really wanted to love this place, especially since it's considered an Austin staple, but…read moreunfortunately, my experience was pretty mixed. My biggest issue started before I even got seated. There is a QR code that you're required to use to join the waitlist/queue, but this is not clearly communicated on their website. You essentially have to arrive at the restaurant and figure it out once you're there. For a restaurant that is known for having long waits and high traffic, I feel like this information should be clearly stated online so people can plan accordingly. Once I joined the queue, I was number 43 and ended up waiting about an hour and a half before being seated. I understand that popular restaurants can have long wait times, but the lack of transparency about how the process works made the experience more frustrating than it needed to be. Once inside, the ambiance was actually quite quaint and charming. That said, considering how much traffic this restaurant gets, I was surprised by how limited the space is. I honestly think expanding the property would make a huge difference, although I understand that may not be entirely within their control. One thing I will give them major credit for is the menu. Online, the selection makes it look somewhat limited, but once you're there, they actually have 50+ food options, so there is plenty to choose from. That was definitely a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, my entrée was disappointing. I ordered a shredded beef taco with salsa and substituted a side salad. The beef was extremely tender, but unfortunately, it was also very dry. The salad was another disappointment because the vinaigrette was honestly not good. I don't think I've ever had a vinaigrette that I actively disliked until this meal. Thankfully, my fiancé had a much better experience. He ordered an enchilada and said it was one of the top five enchiladas he's ever had, so clearly there are some standout dishes on the menu. That definitely made me curious about trying something different if I ever return. I also really enjoyed that they offer hibiscus tea. I was very happy to see it on the menu, although I personally think it would be better served on its own rather than incorporated into one of their mixed drinks. The drink itself was just okay, but the hibiscus flavor was great. Overall, I can see why this place has become an Austin staple, but I think the experience could be improved significantly by making the waitlist process much clearer online and by improving the consistency of some of the food. The menu has a lot of potential, and clearly, some dishes are excellent! Unfortunately, mine just wasn't one of them.

Service, great. Magmud, delicious…read more Tropical turkey tacos, terrible. I was expecting grilled or BBQ turkey, it was diced sandwich meat in a tortilla. Great vibe and staff, but I will not be ordering tacos here again.

We somehow snagged nearby street parking and a table for two with no wait despite it being a busy Saturday evening after a UT football game. Make a reservation if you have a large party or are on a tighter schedule. It's a bit loud for those seated in the lobby/entrance area, but totes a vibe. For food, we ordered the blackened catfish, brisket burnt ends quesadillas, and harvest bowl to share. Everything was delicious and served quickly, even with the aforementioned dinner rush. 10/10 would order the same items again. I was so appreciative of the server splitting the entree over two plates without us asking. Did I mention the complimentary popcorn and cornbread? Twas a FEAST. I'm already thinking about the next time we're going back! If not for Moonshine, definitely for the speakeasy downstairs.

This was not your typical bear claw as it was not eye-squinting sweet but bursting with almond flavoring primarily in the center. It was almost like a crescendo in a symphony when you got to the center of the bear claw. My latte was flavorful in a subtle way with the sesame vanilla permeating throughout the latte. It is important to note that they make their own pastries and tacos each day. The pastries are a bit pricey costing more than my latte. The coffee shop has floor to ceiling windows on two sides with one of the windows opening into a courtyard with additional seating. The beautifully titled coffee bar immediately grabs your attention. In addition, service was quick and efficient. I was in and out the coffee shop within 10 minutes. I parked right in front of the coffee shop as it was early before the meters started to tick.
