The staff clearly recognized quite a few customers during the short time I was there to do a quick grab and go of caffeine. The staff was super friendly and took their time in helping me pick out a bag of beans based off my personal preferences and intent of use (cortados/lattes vs drip/press). Their beans are well priced at around $14 a bag AND you get a complimentary drip coffee with the purchase! I felt like a winner! I also gave their canned lemonade and coffee drink a try - because why not? It had a unique and almost chocolatey flavor. Not sure if I loved it personally, but the quality of the ingredients and flavors were distinctly there. Certainly will take the time to come back to test out the space for a remote work day or a casual outing. Big plus: They have a parking lot and the option of indoor and outdoor seating. That's more like it!

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!

They directly source and roast elite coffees from around the world. This shop is located in an old historical home that was relocated from Rainey street. The space is very vintage and they have an amazing outdoor space that was perfect for hosting an event. My phone charge was low and the staff was super friendly and allowed me to charge my phone behind the counter before the run. Overall, Praxis is a great spot if you're looking for high-quality coffee and a great place to hang out. Can't wait to try options from their menu.

I did, and fortunately, Radio was walking distance from where I was staying. I prefer tea over coffee, and the black tea did absolute wonders for me. I loved that they offered a free refill on drinks, because that caffeine helped me stay alert and awake after some mild jet lag and for all the things I was looking forward to doing during the day. Since my friends had to work, I had time for myself during the day, and getting my caffeine fix helped me with the day. The place is not too loud, aside from customers placing orders and the drinks being made and the music playing. The staff was really helpful and friendly. I 100% recommend this place to anyone passing through Austin, moving to Austin, or whatever else.

There are a bunch of free parking spots out front, but if you live locally, you can just walk right over! My boyfriend has been several times over the last year or so and raved about it to me, so I finally went this week and realized what the hype was all about. Don't be fooled by the small, unassuming exterior. The Austin Shaker is stocked with high quality, artfully selected liquors and wines. The owners clearly have an eye for quality products and take great care in selecting what to bring to the store. We walked in and there was one other customer checking out. A friendly employee immediately came over to us and asked how he could help. He provided incredible recommendations, and we learned some new things about the wine we ultimately selected. Also, randomly, this place is dog friendly. They keep dog treats on the counter, which is a nice touch! We brought our sweet bernedoodle, and there was no issue!

I've been wanting to check this place out for sometime, so I read through the 50+ reviews and I'll…read moresummarize what some yelpers have already said. This place is owned by a husband and wife team, they do some demos on Thursdays, offer a rewards program and they have a great selection. They also have three locations, the largest being on N. Pleasant Valley Rd. I thought I would add some additional specifics and photos that add to the insight of this place. This place is in an old cinderblock building that is accessible from just one side of Airport Boulevard. From the outside, it looks like an old decaying convenience store complete with burglar bars and an ice machine outside. There's less than 10 spots to park at in their potholed small lot. Once inside, it's a whole new world. There are things here that you don't normally find anywhere else and they're not shy about spending big money on their inventory in the way of upscale wines and liquors. They make great use of the 1200 ft.² interior through great merchandising and selection. It's small, but it's packed to the ceiling with a very diverse offering. The wine selection is smaller than the liquor selection, but you will find wines from Serbia, Austria and Europe. They have Japanese whiskeys, soju, Dom Perignon, single malts, mixers and a handful of sherrys and ports. There's also a display case filled with bar instruments and accessories. Behind the checkout, you'll see one of the best selection of bitters that you'll ever see and they do offer single shot bottles. They have a good selection of cold wine, some seltzers, and even a decent yet small selection of local craft beer. Prices here are just slightly above the big box retailers, but they are not overpriced and everything is priced on top of the bottle. I did purchase two bottles of European wine and a bottle of Aperol. Unfortunately, when I opened one of the wines it was undergoing a secondary fermentation and some of the vintages weren't exactly current, so in future I'll stick with their liquor offerings. The photos and videos should be enough to get you through the door.
