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.

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.

Love a good coffee and a fun food truck. This place conveniently does both :) Saw a bunch of good…read morereviews about this place and knew I had to stop by on my trip to Austin. Went on a Saturday and there was a line out to the street. It took about 20/30 minutes, but once you ordered it was quick! They also passed out tasters in the line which I appreciate. It's part of a little food truck community so theres a bunch of outdoor tables shaded by trees- loveddd the vibes. I got the Iced Brown Sugar Miso Latte and the Iced Guava Matcha (vegan version). The latte was good, but it wasn't anything crazy different from a normal sweetened latte honestly. The matcha, however, was amazingggg. I've never had a guava matcha before and the flavor combo was amazing. I would 100% go back to try their other coffee options and get the guava matcha. Also really appreciate that they were able to veganize it for us!

Coming back to Desnudo to update my old review. Initially I didn't love their straight up matcha…read morelatte, but I've come to realize that Desnudo is the place that does the "dressed up" matcha very well. Their plain matcha latte was just ok, but this time I got the pistachio mascarpone cream specialty match and it was great! Also really love their staff - they are so friendly while sitting outside in the heat. And their music this time was fire, we really loved the Shakira they had on. A fun place!

They sell coffee by the pound, likely for those serious coffee lovers who have fancy expensive coffee machines. I was looking for a latte. Bad news...this coffee company sells coffee by the pound not lattes (hence the name). Good news... they sell drip coffee for $2.00 + tax. What a deal! This family owned shop has been roasting beans locally since 1972 and focuses on helping customers brew excellent coffee at home rather than serving coffee drinks on premises. According to the store manager, Mr. Anderson occasionally comes into the store. The selection of freshly roasted beans is rather larger, with store favorites like Guatemala Antiqua, Dark Sumatra and Arabian Mocha cited as most popular. Coffee cost on average $19 per pound. In addition to coffee, the store carries loose leaf teas, mugs, candy, cards, coffee pot sweaters, brewing equipment, and small other gift items, to name just a few items. I was totally and completely enamored with this store. They had so many trinkets and interesting items, you literally could peruse for hours. Captivating environment...Loved it...

Service for the latte was a little slow even though it didn't seem like too many people were before me waiting for their drink. Very cute vibes. Parking in the plaza can fill up quickly so follow the signs for additional parking.

Things Mozart's does well: food and desserts…read more Drinks are falling behind. The peach cobbler matcha just tasted like matcha so why bother calling it peach cobbler? There was some stuff sprinkled on top but very disappointing. Things that are not so great: 1. Orders are all over the place. We got a matcha, a cold brew, and a drip. Matcha came out first. Never got a cup for the drip so had to ask. Also had to remind barista about the cold brew, which is easier and faster to make than the matcha given you just pour it in a cup with ice. Do they just jump around from ticket to ticket when making drinks? 2. I asked for our desserts to be in to go boxes and I wanted our savory food heated up because we were going to eat it there. I said this 3-4x. Everything was placed in to go containers so I had to take the savory food out and ask again for it to be heated up. Food placed after us was already in the toaster so we had to wait extra long for our food to be placed in there and heated up. 3. Music is way too loud. Can't even talk. Thankfully there was a longer than scheduled break in-between the first band and the second band that we could actually talk and enjoy our food. 4. The wait times are ridiculous. The line does NOT move that fast. Probably because people have to keep asking the workers where their stuff is. 5. Parking is terrible. A woman and her friend pulled out and I pulled in only to have valet claim it was their spot. How did a woman and her friend walk to her car and pull out if it was valet? There was also no cone but sure, it belongs to valet. Was this a way of trying to get us to pay? Touristy trap. Yes, I know there is an overflow lot. It is usually packed/full. I was also with elderly parents. Good luck walking down that hill without falling. They used to have someone in a little cart take people back and forth but not anymore. I tipped $8 for worse than Chipotle/Subway service. I've been here on a weekday mid-day before and they've forgotten my iced Americano before. I've had to go up and ask the baristas just standing around and clearly not working on my drink. Then I would sit down and 5-7 min would go by. Still no drink. Go back to the front. They say, oh there's your drink (half melted). I was sitting inside at a table talking with a friend. Surely if they called my name, I would have heard them but I guess they cannot be bothered. I've been coming to Mozart's since high school since I live nearby. Service has become a joke. It's turned into a tourist attraction with prices to match and extremely long lines The food is good, I will give them that. Once the food quality goes down, there is absolutely no point in coming. I also worked as a barista in high school and college. I can adequately judge the level of service as I've been through the crazy rushes. The service is terrible here. It's like they think because they're Mozart's on the lake, they can just not care about providing good service. The people working there, while always polite, do not seem like they like working there. I dont know how to explain it. I think it's because Mozart's is tourist attraction and no longer an actual Austin coffee shop. It feels like Starbucks right at the point Starbucks sold out. It's such a shame. I live a few minutes away so I would like to come here more often but every time I come, I'm always a bit unhappy about my visit.

They're known for their signature moon milk, which is a sweetened milk they use in a bunch of their drinks. I really like it. It has a unique flavor, and I appreciate that you can customize how sweet you want your coffee. They offer different sweetness levels (¼, 1/2, ¾, and full), as well as "whisper" sweetness, which is just . It's a great option if you prefer your coffee just a little sweet. Our usual order is the Whisper Wintermoon, and it's consistently good. Their coffee is solid, and the moon milk adds a lovely, light sweetness without being overpowering. I've also tried their iced matcha, which is fine, but I wouldn't necessarily come here specifically for it. They sometimes have breakfast tacos in the mornings from a local vendor, and those have been pretty good too. All in all, Summer Moon is a coffee shop we've enjoyed for a long time. Good coffee, a unique take on sweetened drinks, and plenty of locations around Austin.
