My friends and I met at this charming cafe in East Austin, and I was amazed by the inviting warmth of the intimate shop. The baristas greeted us, and they were so helpful. They gave us a quick rundown of all the drinks and food items they offer. They like to encourage conversation & creativity amongst the people in the community, so laptops are prohibited on the weekends as well as after 5pm on weekdays, they are closed on Mondays. There's a handful of parking spots in front of the cafe, or you can choose to park on the street in the neighborhood. There are beautiful plants and board games for you to play while in the cafe. They have tables outside on the patio, or they have tables, chairs, benches and couches inside. They have a dj booth since they have a dj at night, and they even had music records and merch shirts for sale. There were only 2 other small groups of people when we went on a Saturday morning. I choose a #2 smoothie, a turkey pesto sandwich (Turkey, Basil Pesto, Provolone Cheese, Sun dried tomato spread, mayonnaise. Served on a toasted ciabatta from Texas French Bread) and with a side of fresh berries. It was fresh, flavorful and delicious. I love to support small businesses, so I plan to be back on another quiet weekend morning. read more

Such a fun shop! Coffee meets smoothies meets dinner all in one! Seating wise there's so many options, tables to couches to outside benches. Great place to talk, study (although there's background music that may be distracting) and overall fun vibes. Note that there's a no laptop rule after 5pm. I got the pineapple (number 3) smoothie bowl. Such a cute little bowl for $14. Out a smile on my face! read more

I've been meaning to check this place out for a while, and finally made time to meet a friend for lunch and a little bit of work. Right off the bat -- there are very few parking spots in front of the business. Your best bet is free street parking in the neighborhood. Once inside, there are a few tables and two couches facing each other, as well as a few barstools, and then a little outdoor area. The place fills up quickly, especially since it's on the small side, so keep that in mind or try to get there early. The decor is really cool - lots of plants and vinyls. The menu is small, so easy to make a selection. I chose a hot latte and chicken salad sandwich on ciabatta. The latte was good, but sandwich was a little bland and mostly bread. This is probably a super cute spot to come to in the evenings when it's a wine bar. However, it was difficult to work here because it was pretty loud. Music was loud and lots of people talking. read more

This charming cafe is one of my favorite funky neighborhood haunts to meet friends. You have a high chance of being served by the owner, and the baristas are exceedingly friendly and knowledgeable about their wine list. Their turkey pesto sandwich is deliciously crunchy. I appreciate that they provide a welcoming space for people to meet and work on on weekdays, and ask that laptops are put away after 5pm and on weekends. Another highlight is their record player! DJs often host events at the shop, and you're encouraged to browse the small collection they have. read more

They have yummy ube matcha! My friends all love it as well and they recommended it to me! The cafe is pretty, but sometimes the music is loud, but still worth a try! read more

I absolutely love this little neighborhood spot. They are always spinning great records, hosting events that bring the community together, and have great food and drinks. You need to follow them on instagram to know what's going on since they don't have a website. read more

Such a cute spot! It is a great spot for a small lunch or snack and hang out with friends. During the week you can bring your laptop and get some work done. On the weekend it is hangout vibes, leave the work at home. I can appreciate that! The strawberry salad was good. My only critique is the pepper was a bit too coarse for my liking. read more

This is my favorite spot!!!! They serve natural wine and always have really good house wine picks. They have a packed schedule during the week with fun free events meant to get people together. Their new food and coffee is amazing!!! I never feel uncomfortable coming alone because the people who frequent it are a good time. Music picks are awesome. ALSO I love that they don't allow laptops on weekends or weekdays after 4 PM. I've had to leave coffee shops MANY TIMES because every table is taken up by a single person on a laptop. I'm happy to hear people chatting and laughing and enjoying themselves. read more

Community Garden - Acacia bowl. - Acai Bowls Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was so excited to come to this coffee shop, I had planned to come on a Saturday morning to do some personal projects and get yummy food and drink I've been wanting (coconut mocha). However, when I get there they say no laptops allowed on the weekend, so we had to leave. I totally understand no laptops after 4pm or 5pm but when people have stuff to get done or even in my case just working on personal projects for fun, it was unfortunate that we couldn't stay and try their coffee and food. I was really disappointed because there was so much space available including the outdoor tables as well as the indoor space, and they missed out on $30+ just because laptops weren't allowed on a Saturday morning. Still excited to come back and try it! read more

Nice food. Nice people. Not so nice mildew. The mildew was so strong we had to eat outside. Fortunately they have a nice backyard with fans. So even on a 95+ degree day, It was a pleasant place to grab a lunch. There is not all that much people who own an older building can do about mildew in the walls and mildew in the HVAC system. But I have a hard time going to a health food restaurant that makes me feel unhealthy. Still ... Nice food. Nice people. read more

Super cool owner and the vibe here is dope. It's a coffee shop in the morning and then after 5 or so they make everyone shut them laptops off and be present. Then it turns into a bar where they have cheap beers and play good music. Also sell some dope electronic music records and cassettes. Picked up a couple gems. read more

This is not your typical cafe or Juiceland, but I still like it! Don't expect hot coffee or smoothies. Instead you'll find tasty 16oz blended bowls and some cold drinks. The seating is pretty great although is it a bit dimly lit. The guys there were friendly and helpful! I got my order pretty quickly. There's some outlets along the walls for those who need to work/study. The couch is pretty comfy too! There's parking out front and on the streets of East Austin. If I'm looking for a tasty fruit bowl and a good work spot, I'd def come back. read more

Stopped in last night to experience Sefra (mediterranean food) pop-up and looooooved the vibe. DJ spinning world music, friendly service and nice selection of wines. We enjoyed a funky orange wine that went perfect with the food (which was incredibly delicious). Nice patio if you prefer more chill vibe but inside is where the party's at. read more

Community Garden - Succulent design out front - Acai Bowls Near Me - Austin, Texas

I stopped by here with a friend for a light lunch and really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is super cute- its trendy and fits in with the neighborhood well. There are some parking stalls in front but mostly its street parking, which is typical for East Austin. I do think the food options at this location are a bit limited- I hope as they keep growing they expand the menu a bit. However, if you are in the mood for some good coffee, matcha, and acai bowls- this place is great!! I thought it was interesting they have bowls with bee pollen in them. At first I was skeptical, but it added a little flavor and apparently theres a ton of healthy benefits to it! It is counter service, and orders come out pretty quick. The staff were all very friendly. If I lived close by I could definitely see this as becoming my new spot! Highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

Delicious açaí bowls! Food and coffee punches way above its weight. At night, very fun DJ sets and community gatherings.

Super cute place to get a bite, a coffee or get a couple of hours of work. The employees were very helpful with menu and drink recommendations. There's plenty of seating inside and out on their shaded patio. They have a small parking area but lots of street parking. I will be back! read more

Nestled in a a visibly changing residential neighborhood near the Mueller neighborhood, community garden provides an approachable and comfortable vibey space in a clearly changing Austin landscape. After discovering them back before their official opening was announced on Instagram, I was so glad to finally have made the chance to venture out. There is plenty of street parking with a few spots in front. This may change as the neighborhood continues to establish its new residents as tear downs and new builds are completed. The interior is a plant lovers dream, with a beautiful interior that clearly boasts meticulous thought and effort for both the interior and exterior patio space. They host pop ups and seem to turn the remote friendly working space (lots of people with their laptops working) into a bar vibe in the evenings. Have yet to experience this for myself, but I was a big fan of their smiley açaí bowl ($10 - $12) and enjoyed the beautiful flowering vines and beautiful breeze (enjoy it while you can, y'all!) in their outdoor patio. Only thing I didn't enjoy - the bathroom. While it looked clean and tidy, it was very dim and smelled like someone had relieved themselves in a corner. Eek. Overall, great vibes and would definitely frequent again if in the area. read more

We were greeted with a warm hello right away. The workers are so kind and delivered our items right to our table. The açaí bowls are SO tasty and super cute how they come out with smiley faces. The vibe is cozy and a great atmosphere with the small tables and velvet couches inside it feels intimate. While the patio outside is filled with picnic tables and plants it's the perfect laid back environment. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

The service was great and welcoming with instant greeting and instructions. Bowl options were well explained and recommendations given. The bowl itself: Great base and toppings, large portion, taste and consistency are both excellent. The one thing I would change would be to add more toppings, granola is great but I would prefer about 2-3x as much. Being tucked away in a neighborhood fits the quaint charm and vibe of this community spot! Def recommend read more

I've been wanting to check out community garden for a while. Finally got to check it out and loved the vibes, people and food! It's just a great place to chill and grab a drink with friends. The açaí bowl was solid, and I like how they have different events nightly. I grabbed coffee this time but next time want to try some of their wine read more

Such a cute bar, the ambiance is lovely. It has these hip garden vibes, cool music, super sweet staff. We had a private party there and they were incredibly helpful and easy to work with. Love having them in the neighborhood! read more

I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon to meet a friend for coffee. The inside vibe was so cool! So many plants and spots to sit and work or chat. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. I ordered hot matcha and was hoping to add a shot of espresso, but they only do drip coffee. I will keep this in mind next time! My friend and I sat outside and there was plenty of open seating. There was a bridal shower taking place that day which was super sweet to watch! I felt like we were interrupting, but they were all so kind. I really want to try their acai bowl next time and maybe sit inside and work! Cute place, definitely check out! read more

Great atmosphere -- super trendy, retro, and fun! Great place to do work or hang out with friends. Employees are so nice and friendly too. Açaí bowls did take a while -- we ordered 3 bowls and it took over 20 minutes. The açaí was good and pretty thick, but I wish there were more toppings. Although the smiley faces are cute and it's what community garden is known for, I do wish the bowls came with more than 2 bananas. Their granola is really good, but I wished they used all natural peanut butter. Overall, this is a great spot but I think there are better places for acai bowls read more

This place is so cute and hidden in an east austin neighborhood, very easy to drive by and not notice. I got the matcha with oat milk and it was so yummy, had spices in it I think?
