In addition, I do not have a Haraz Coffee House near me, so when I am near one of their locations, I make it a point to pop in. I love Haraz. I love the ambience. I love the coffee. I love the pastry selection. I love the service. The consistency I've experienced from location to location is top-notch. The cleanliness here is impeccable, too. That bears mentioning. My go-to is the Haraz Latte. Iced. While this could never be my every day coffee, it is something I really enjoy and treat myself to when I'm able to go to a Haraz. As someone who doesn't proclaim to like cheesecake, their Biscoff cheesecake is the exception. Maybe it's a blessing that one isn't close by and I can only indulge every now and then. If you want a break from your regular coffee, give Haraz a shot. Especially when the summer heat kicks in - the iced coffee + cardamom is pretty great. Also, they seem to have a high standard for hiring. The staff is always great. Please tip generously ;)

I have frequented this specific locations due to its proximity to my apartment and every time it's been a pleasure, whether to-go or sitting in the cafe and enjoying a nice pot to share. Love the unique additions to the menu over the typical options we see again and again. The adeni is my first choice, kind of like a spicier chai? I will say their options tend to lean on the sweeter side, so I always ask for less sweet if possible. Staff is always friendly and this location is clean with lots of seating!

I don't think there is such a thing. Smile. I was on a 21 day fast which excluded lattes. Let me just say when I walked into Austin Grind the smell of coffee was like bees to honey. I was wrapped in the warmth of that coffee aromatic smell. Hello friend! I ordered a hazelnut hot latte. The smooth taste, the warmth of the coffee sliding down my throat and the flavorfullness of the coffee soothed my soul. Today is going to be a very good day. Austin Grind is a small eclectic coffee shop on Parmer Lane. They serve a variety of coffee and tea. In addition, they serve Amy's ice cream, which is quite a twist. Austin Grind has several notable celebrity paintings on the wall such as BB King and Andy Warhol. They also have indoor and outdoor seating with ample free parting. Super cool vibe...

It is off of shoal creek in a strip mall in the back not visible from the Main Street. The shop is co-located with a yoga practice and this atomically generated the social vibe that is hard to find. They are serious about coffee here. They roast their own coffee beans here. There are several world-famous baristas (ask them about the world competitions they are part of) serving up the brew who are super knowledgeable about coffee and coffee late art. I highly recommend everyone come by and get the the taste of what the one of the best coffee shops in Austin! PS come on Sunday mornings for weekly Porsche car show in the parking lot!

What a great gem in North Austin! My friend found Flora on Yelp. We weren't familiar with this…read morecoffee shop prior to visiting. I was a little confused when I drove up because I didn't realize that it's inside the Retreat Yoga Studio. There is a neon sign on the window as well as an A-Frame Sign near the entrance to let you know you're in the right place. Parking is plentiful in the shopping center. Because it's in a Yoga Studio, there isn't much seating (though they did have tables set up outside). The vibe was relaxing and calm. I don't know what scent they had in there, but it smelled nice. This wouldn't be a place to study or work as the seating is limited and I didn't see many outlets. There was a small area with bar stools if you need a tabletop, but most of the seating was couches and lounge chairs. It's more of a place to relax or catch up with a friend. I love when coffee shops have signature drinks. I ordered the Cajeta Crème Brûlée Cappuccino. It was so good, but it came in a small cup. The smoky sea salt was delicious! I don't typically care for sea salt in beverages, but it complimented the flavors so well! I asked the barista to sub oat milk which they were able to do but he informed me that some of the ingredients had dairy (which was fine). I appreciated the disclosure. I was able to drink it without any issues. Because my drink was so small, I decided to order a second one. I went with the Ginger Snap Latte (with oat milk) and it was tasty! I didn't like it as much as the Cajeta Crème Brûlée, but it was really good. I was happy that it was served in a larger cup. The space had plants as well as merch like clothing, scented candles, soaps, and jewelry (which was beautiful). The bathrooms were very clean and had feminine hygiene products as well as a basket with bobby pins and hair ties. I love the attention to detail! We were there close to closing time (3 pm). I appreciated that one of the employees let us know that they would be closing without forcing us to get up and leave. It was on par with the gentle and calming vibe of the space.

I came here with a few friends for lunch on a workday and I was not expecting to be absolutely floored with how good this place is. First off, I had an Ube iced latte and while very sweet, it hit the spot and was very satisfying. We got a stack of pancakes for the table to share and I got an omelette with hashbrowns. The hashbrowns were crispy with a very fluffy interior and were not overly greasy, easily making them top-tier. The omelette was also very light and such a comfort. The star of the show however were the pancakes. I don't know what they use for the batter but even though they were plain, they tasted so good. They had a light sweetness and were so fluffy, the texture was perfect. On top of that, the staff were very friendly making the place very comfortable. I cannot wait to come back.

They sometimes also have breakfast bisuits. Service is always family friendly and welcoming. Today, I ordered an iced matcha latte and apple turnover. The matcha latte was perfect - fragrant matcha flavor but not too sweet with a smooth texture. The apple turnover was flaky like most turnovers but not eye-squinting sweet.
