Amazing gem and clearly the best coffee place in central Texas. Clean and very friendly staff. The owner is from the coffee region in Colombia and clearly has a passion for providing the best in town. He roasts his own coffee in the back so you know you're getting the freshest beans. We will be back! read more

Ambiance: Nice modern coffee shop with all the bells and whistles of a coffee connoisseur. They even have a R&D "coffee lab" in the back where the staff and owner can experiment with new flavors for release. Service: The service was friendly! I saw a couple immersed into the experience of having their coffee dripped with one of the "coffee sommeliers". Food/Drinks: I ordered a couple of iced lattes (cookie crumble latte and Spanish latte), both which were delicious. My husband enjoyed his very much. The Spanish latte was delicious, but I didn't taste anything different that set it apart from other lattes. Additionally, I ordered a bacon egg and cheese breakfast burrito. For a $6 burrito, I was disappointed that it was small, microwaved and did not taste fresh at all! read more

I stopped by this newer coffee shop because it looked really interesting. I asked the person at the counter if the blueberry drink was super sweet. I prefer my coffee to actually taste like coffee with just a little sweetness and she said it wasn't. But it ended up being so sweet I tried to force myself to drink it since I paid for it but eventually ended up tossing it. I'm also not sure how I feel about the dark cups since I like to see my coffee, lol. I love the concept, but overall it just wasn't for me, so I probably won't be back. read more

Ok first thing first, this location is super cute for you to have a coffee date or if you work from home. There is wifi for customers and multiple outlets available for use. There is enough parking in the shopping center. I enjoyed my drink and croissant but I do think it is a bit pricey. I think the menus should also be transparent with prices for a small and large drink. But overall i had a good experience. read more

Staff was short! After just paying they and asking twice for liquid creamer they directed us only to power type. Very upsetting to say the least. Will not be going back if the customer service is not good. read more

Really nice spot. Really dig the layout. Theres a lot of detail to this place and the staff was very helpful. Everything we tried was really good. Couldn't tell you which pastry I like more, both solid. The Spanish latte was my favorite drink overall. Zero complaints. Would definitely recommend and come back for another try. read more

Most coffee options in central Texas. If you're passionate about coffee like me, you like options for different coffee regions, brew methods (drip, americano, siphon, Chemex, pour over) they can do it all. Needless to say they are passionate about their craft. Everything is done beautifully too. Look at the coffee cup and tray in my photo! This is a pour over. We also tried a chocolate croissant, & it was so good. Baristas were so nice, & so knowledgeable about coffee. Very refreshing. I just wish I lived closer Plenty of seating and free parking. If you want to learn more about how to pick up tasting notes in your coffee, they also host a class on Sundays! read more

If you're a REAL coffee lover, you'll love it here. They had a variety of drinks and you could pick your own beans. I opted for a cinnamon knot and iced caramel macchiato and they were both awesome. I didn't want to hold anyone up so I'll study the menu more to pick something "less basic" next time. The flavors of both were outstanding! read more

Came to work for a few hours and ordered the "chocolate croissant" which is really a pain au chocolat and the Vietnamese coffee. The barista mentioned it was a drip coffee that would take about 7-10 minutes to make which was fine. In my opinion it tasted better once some of the ice had melted and the cream blended in more. I enjoyed the music but limited seating with actual backs to them, more bar / high top dining options. read more

Are you ready for some enlightenment? Coffee Enlightenment is a cozy spot tucked into a plaza right at the entrance of Round Rock, Texas. The location offers plenty of parking and the inside has seating, but make sure you come at a good time or you may not get to sit down. Service was amazing, the ladies working that day were easy to talk to and offered some great insights on their menu options. It can get a little overwhelming since they have a ton to offer but they will walk you though the entire menu or recommend something if you are in an open minded mood. The siphon experience was amazing, I love that they have dedicated seats in front of the siphons so you can experience the awesome "science" that goes into it (and snap a nice social media video of course ). I tried one of their Colombia blends which was very good. My partner ordered an anti aging latte herself and she enjoyed it. I'd like to see an Ethiopian option at some point (unless you already do since the day I went) to explore different taste notes from that region. Overall, a nice spot to grab a brew and sit for a while. read more

Coffee Enlightenment is a cute shop for anyone serious about coffee. I picked it at random out of places in the area to meet a friend. When we arrived late Sunday afternoon, it was PACKED! Still, the baristas fulfilled our order fairly quickly, and a table opened up to sit at. All the drinks on the printed menu listed their ingredients. As someone who avoids caffeine, I picked a drink that didn't include coffee - or at least it didn't appear to. (I think it was a turmeric latte? If a chai latte can exist without coffee, then according to that reasoning, so could a turmeric latte.) However, that seemed to be the single drink where coffee slipped through the cracks when they were listing the ingredients. It sure did include coffee! To make up for it, I asked if they could refund or replace my drink. They did both! By late afternoon, most of their baked goods were gone, but I snagged the last chocolate chip cookie - exactly what I was craving! It was the right balance between soft and chewy. I'm not sure if I'll be looking for coffee in round rock again, but if I am, I know where I'll go! read more

Coffee Enlightenment - Cookie - Bakeries Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

New little coffee place that recently opened up in Round Rock. The interior is both clean and cutely decorated. They offer a good selection of coffee and use fresh ground beans. I was impressed with the variety of brewing methods available at this establishment: pour over, siphon (Japanese style), phin filter (Vietnamese style), espresso. I ordered coffee using their Siphon method. I was intrigued by this method so it was cool to be able to experience and taste the coffee in a unique way! Definitely can appreciate the flavors. I've also tried their latte which was creamy and just as good. The staff is very friendly and kind. They answered all my questions. I found out that they also offer classes to educate consumers about coffee, everything from identifying the distinct flavors to understanding what makes a good coffee. Check out their website to book them! I'll certainly be back whenever I need a quality cup of coffee! read more

Good clean place with lots of options. I got the blueberry strawberry combo matcha lemonade which was refreshing but nothing impressive. It was kind of expensive as well at 8 dollars. I would come back here to study because it is a good location. There's some bigger tables with outlets but a lot of high tables. The chairs aren't the most comfortable but that's okay. read more

Throughly enjoyed my experience here. Great playlist for studying/working remotely. Beautiful, clean environment. Good coffee. I love the lightbulb over each table. You can also see their various (and plenty) storage of coffee beans. It is definitely one of the more unique coffee shops I have been to. The staff was also super sweet. I can't wait to go back! read more

You can tell when you first walk in that this place is more about quality than volume. They appear to roast their own beans in the back, use Monin syrups and have organic fair-trade cane sugar. Being my first time in, I tried their hot latte and a chocolate croissant. I enjoyed them both, and will come back to try their other offerings. The friendly service and the clean, comfortable environment is a bonus. read more

This was, hands down, the best coffee we had on our trip through Austin. We ordered the pour over and a white chocolate mocha. The mocha was delicious. The pour over is what stole the show though.

10/10!! I love this place. I've tried main matchas and this is 1st place. I loved the atmosphere and the workers, everyone was very find.

This is such a lovely coffee shop up north! Staff is so friendly, and there's a lot of good seating areas to work/study. I came to work on my laptop, and I found that I was actually incredibly productive. I ordered a Vietnamese iced coffee, and I love that they bring out all of the equipment and brewing contraption so you can see your coffee drip. My boyfriend got a white mocha latte, which was very sweet but also quite delicious. This is such a beautiful coffee shop where you can literally watch your coffee drip right before your eyes. I highly recommend! read more

Trying to understand the meaning of a coffee house. As a former business owner, I'm a huge supporter of small businesses. Yet I'm also realistic if it's going to be a longterm investment on a new brick and mortar. The place was beautifully constructed. The staff welcomed us as they were preparing an order. $7 for Vietnamese coffee!?? We were laughing about the 15min process of making Vietnamese ice coffee (we are a Vietnamese family). So he went with cold brew. It was just oddly bitter. I got an iced caramel macchiato, it was ok. The $17.** price tag wasn't worth the bougie atmosphere. This is just a one time deal. Not impressed. read more

Vietnamese coffee is amazing. Price point is a little high but what isn't pricy nowadays.

The people here takeoff very seriously and treat it like an art form. It's evident by the way it's decorated and the way they have their menu organized. I didn't get a chance to try a lot of things on the menu yet, but I ordered a very basic cold brew coffee with cream and some lavender. It was delicious. It's more specifically I got a nitro cold brew, which has a sort of aerated texture in the liquid. Next time, I think I would like to go with a regular cold brew because nitro cold brew just has a certain tartness to it that I can't quite put my finger on. The customer service was incredibly friendly and my coffee was great, but I think I would like to try some other things on the menu next time. I will update my review once I get around to trying more! read more

I rarely give negative reviews, but today is going to be different. I came in to try this place and while the menu looks good, when I went to pay, I was told that they do not accept cash because it is unsanitary. The young lady smiled and said "It's quite common". I'm 62 years old and not one single person I know has died or even gotten sick from handling cash. I will not be spending my money cash or credit with a company that has this kind of policy. read more

This is a new experience with coffee, if you like to learn the science behind coffee you should check this place out. They are a variety of beans, different ways to brew the coffee AND I think they roast their own beans! Service was great, staff seems to know their stuff and and place was nice and clean. Variety of seating options and outlets are available. Will definitely be back to trip their coffee flights read more

What a great spot to get coffee. They have plenty of staples with a few one-offs like hot/iced Vietnamese coffee. There's a "lab" in the back where they roast beans from Colombia in the back and the overall vibe is super chill. They also have a bunch of coffee making vessels which adds to the tasting experience. read more

Today is their 1 year anniversary and they were giving little pastries for free. The blueberry was delicious and warm. I tried the iced Spanish latte and it was perfectly balanced. I have never been here before but I will be back. The girl who was there and opened the store this morning was super sweet. Super friendly and sociable. The coffee tasted great and I feel like she did her big one with this latte. The inside of the store is beautiful. I'm not sure what all those science beaker looking glasses are, but they're pretty and interesting to look at. The store was perfectly clean and tidy. Loved it! Congratulations on 1 year! Here's to many more. read more

Walking into this place is basically like walking into a hug from the universe--with caffeine. The coffee? Strong enough to wake the ancestors. The pastries? Flaky enough to make your ex jealous. The affogato? A spiritual experience--gelato baptized in espresso like some holy ritual of dessert and enlightenment. Even the presentation is so nice I almost felt bad ruining it... almost. 10/10 recommend if you like great vibes, better coffee, and leaving slightly more enlightened than you came in. read more

New coffee shop in the la frontera shopping center- behind the hooters . Nice modern decor with high top & a few regular height tables, along with bar seating. We went last weekend which was their soft opening so I'm giving them grace in this review. The staff didn't greet us upon entering (they weren't busy at all when we came in ) and the cashier was unfamiliar with the options or how to use the credit card machine ( I had a gift card that required swipe. ) not sure if she rang up my drink I correctly or not but ordered a large white mocha latte with a extra shot of espresso. (Pricing on the menu doesn't show difference for sizes) the drink came to 11$ however the latte price on menu was about 6? Maybe 5.50. I didn't really catch it until I waited 10-12 minutes then got my maybe 12 oz cup which tasted like plain watered down coffee at best as the flavoring didn't get mixed in and was sitting at the bottom of the cup. I was headed to eat and didn't taste the coffee until I was already gone. Not to mention the couple that ordered after us got both of their drinks (also lattes ) before me. They offer breakfast tacos (which they weren't serving at the time due to the soft opening but they also couldn't tell us where they are from when they do start offering them) I watched another customers interaction with the cashier in which she didn't have the answers for him either. The cup was cute and practical with a lid which snaps close! I really thought that was a great idea! Hopefully they get some additional training not only in customer service but their offerings and how to make and ring up the drinks correctly. I will be back to give them another try as I understand there are some kinks to be worked out when opening a business. Wish them the best and hope this review helps! read more

This is a great coffee shop that roasts its own beans and offers a variety of espresso drinks, cold brews, pour overs, Vietnamese coffee, and siphon coffee. I came here wanting a cup of regular drip black coffee, but I don't think they offer it, so I ended up ordering a delicious cortado made with oat milk. It was velvety smooth and had the right balance of sweetness and bitterness. Also, please have patience if you order a pour over. It takes more time to make than an espresso drink. The baristas were friendly and you can tell that the owner is knowledgeable and passionate about coffee. There are tables with nearby electrical outlets if you're looking to do some work. They also offer pour over flights and I noticed you can book a coffee guided experience for all the coffee nerds out there through their website. read more

Will definitely visit again. read more

This new coffee shop is very good. But be patient as they are still in soft opening phase. They are still learning and figuring out a lot in terms of process and service. Provide positive and gentle feedback and work with the staff as they are being trained on the job. They are a new small business and the kind of small business we should support in Round Rock. I had a double espresso and the beans roasted in-house were delicious. Pure Colombian coffee beans roasted in the shop. The cinnamon roll was delicious and not overly sweet. Nice buttery center and pull apart dough. My wife's golden latte was good, but had a tad too much turmeric. They are learning and it's good to show grace. This has the potential to be a great coffee shop because they are into the craft of coffee and not just making lattes. I'm excited for them to roll out the siphons, french presses and pour overs in the future. read more

Coffee Enlightenment - Cappuccino and Almond Croissant - Bakeries Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

They're trying really hard to be different, but the difference is mostly in presentation. The place and name look and sound upscale and they have a larger variety of single origin coffees to choose from than most places. Unfortunately the overhead of keeping so many varieties and packaging them for individual grinds leads to a $6 pourover that is maybe 8 ounces. I mean I am assuming that's the reason, but maybe its the rent. At the end of the day, the Yirgacheffe pourover was good, but no better than your favorite local roaster and if you are a home roaster, not as good as yours. In summary, the quality is good but the value is very lacking. read more

Coffee + Enlightenment in Round Rock is an absolute gem. Their coffee is out of this world ! super smooth, rich in flavor, and completely customizable to fit whatever mood you're in. Every sip feels uplifting, like it's brewed with a little extra happiness. What I love most is how balanced it is: bold enough to wake you up, yet silky and easy to drink. Pair it with one of their fresh pastries, and you've got the perfect start to your day (or a sweet afternoon pick-me-up). If you're in Round Rock and want coffee that truly makes you feel good, this is the spot. Cozy vibes, amazing drinks, and a place that feels like a little daily dose of enlightenment. read more

This coffee shop quickly became our weekly go-to after wandering in one day. The owner and staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and passionate about the art and science of coffee. I tried many things over the first few visits, but landed on a delicious americano. They have modern decor, space to work or gather and new outdoor seating. A great stop for both experienced coffee connoisseurs (like my husband) and normal coffee drinkers like me. read more

This place will serve you the best coffee-based beverage of your life. It is a coffee geek's dream. They have multiple roasts (I love the Pina-Coco co-fermented) and every brewing method you've ever heard of.

They never lose patience with my endless questions and they take their time to create pure bliss in a cup. This is the best coffee shop I've ever enjoyed in all of Texas. read more
