Pretty much my ideal version of an iced latte. The staff was friendly and let me know that they have a rewards program which I definitely would have joined if I was local. They had a donut popup going on which was a fun addition as I had come too late to try any of their regular taco options. The space itself is large, bright, and clean. Plenty of couches for chatting and bar height tables with outlets for getting some work done. Would definitely recommend and come back.

I really appreciate them updating their Instagram account with the updated hours ahead of the weekend because it helped me plan and make adjustments. I tried the golden mylk with oat milk, turmeric, ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, Himalayan pink salt, and maple syrup. It was a unique blend with just the right amount of spice. The drink has a yellow hue so it remind me of curry. It is best to enjoy and finish this drink while it is still hot. Once it cools, it can get a bit grainy. There were a few Sour Duck pastries at half-price so I picked up a kouign-amann. It was old but it was still flavorful and buttery.

This cafe is one of my favorite fantasy driven locations to visit in all of Austin…read more Their rotating special menu with unique flavors make this a standout in an oversaturated marketplace. Austin is known for having a lot of coffee, but very few have identifiable differentiators. Merfolk's creates coffee flavors based on fantasy lore, so you honestly never know what the special menu will have. That's why we keep spending our money there. Many of the drinks are sweet but the staff is more than happy to make adjustments as needed! The ambiance is also so cute and whimsical. I love being in beautiful spaces like this---it makes getting any sort of work done in my laptop much more enjoyable.

Very spacious with lots of room for meet-ups, working remotely, having a coffee date, etc. The drinks are fantastic. I had the Jane Austen (iced) which is a lavender white mocha. They blended the flavors to perfection and I could actually taste the lavender without it being overbearing or not enough taste. My boyfriend had Angela's Ashes (iced)---I took a few drinks of that and woo-wee is it good. It's Mexican mocha, oatmilk, and cookie butter. The baristas are true artists creating liquid masterpieces.

The service was fast, friendly, and welcoming, and the menu offers a variety of unique beverage options that make it worth a visit. I ordered the Sticky Rice Mango Matcha with iced matcha with house-made mango puree and vegan sweetened condensed milk. The drink had a smooth, earthy matcha flavor balanced by the sweetness of ripe mango, with subtle notes inspired by the classic mango sticky rice dessert. It was refreshing, creamy, and a unique combination that really worked. The café has a welcoming atmosphere, making it a nice place to relax, catch up with friends, or grab a specialty drink. They have a great outdoor seating area so close to the hike and bike trail. They are always hosting local community events.

I ordered a plain iced latte and wanted a potato egg and cheese taco but all that was left was a bean an cheese. Fine...but $6?? I made the mistake of accepting this ridiculous price.

The coffee shop is nice though, and has plenty of outdoor/indoor seating. Parking can be a bit of a hassle but they offer validation. Never coming back.

We've been wanting to check out this shop for quite sometime and finally had the chance. From the minute we walked in the door the vibe was on! Our barista, Litsa was incredible! She was fun and bouncy and had so much positive energy. She even helped me create a concoction of sorts. Like most, lavender is my go-to. But, I also wanted toasted marshmallow and so I was torn. She suggested a combo of the two for my cappuccino (with oat milk of course). Wow! It was spectacular. I was so beyond miserable when I walked in the door (the rain) and she turned things around for me within 30 seconds of interacting. Her positivity and kindness were through the roof! My cappuccino concoction...so good I think it should be a menu feature! The banana guard iced latte my boyfriend got was equally as delicious. It was like an ice cream treat for grown-ups. Everything about the shop is so welcoming. Warm lighting, comfortable seating, and spacious. So much for the eye to take in as they have offerings from local artists and craftspeople for sale. A mini store if you will. All lined neatly on wall hanging shelves. They've got candles, pottery, jewelry, clothing, etc. All the goodies you'd expect to find at a gift and craft, artisan shop. Fitting since the drinks they put out are liquid art. Since it's about a ten-minute walk from home, it'll definitely be a new stop when going to the pet store. Wonderful experience on a dreary day.

This place is full vegan and tip free (as is included in the price) I got a dirty chai latte with oat milk. It tasted very natural, like the oatmeal was handmade or something. Very natural and creamy. The inside was very colorful, decorated, with many shops from artists in the Austin area. There was plenty of seating. The only thing is that it is very pricy and I didn't get an itemized receipt in the text, so I'm not sure exactly how much the drinks, tax, and tip were. I liked this place, and would come back in the future!
