Cool spot. A friend recommended this place and it didn't disappoint. The cocktail menu is robust, but I must say they're froze. Coffee is easily #1, especially on a hot day.
Loved it here. Wish we lived in Austin. Wifey would bring me here all the time. And the doggies! They have a couple of food trucks open. Veracruz tacos were very good. Especially the fish tacos. Service was self serve pretty much Tried one fancy drink. It was very good
This place is an absolute vibe. I have been here the last two times I was in Texas visiting. The service is always good and the drinks are superb! My only complaint is both times I went, most of the tables had uneven legs. We were able to fix it though using napkins. I cant wait to go back!
To be honest, I don't know how this place doesn't have a thousand reviews! This is easily one of the most unique cafe/beer gardens I have ever been to! It's pretty surreal. The atmosphere really sets it apart. They have so much seating, a koi pond, and beautiful greenery and art woven throughout the space. It's also perfect for any vibe really! You can show up in the afternoon wanting coffee and breakfast tacos, or lean into a happy hour vibes with drinks and pork tacos. This is a great spot to get work done during the day, do some creative writing, and it's also a great place to bring a friend and catch up. I wish every city had a place like this!
This place is awesome! Parking is pretty solid. The food is pretty good! I love their taquitos! Service is pretty decent and the ambiance is great! I love eating at the second floor but not so much shading so bring a hat.
Was wondering around Austin and stumbled on this place. Was a great place to take a minute and relax. The best part is the free parking and as you approach the Biz, there is a lot of free form art work. As you step in, you hear water from the fountains and the whole place looks like a mini-retreat. There is a vast variety of coffee drinks and non alcoholic drinks. There is also a taco spot and dispensary. Our barista was super informative and helped explain to us about some of the coffee drinks as it was our first time there. Once we got our order ( 2 Cosmic Comet lattes), we headed to the rooftop where is was a great place to chill and relax. We found out in the pm its 21 and over and will head that way to try the tacos. Loved how it is tucked away in an East Austin neighborhood and just a great place to chill or work. Loved the misters they had down stairs, perfect for the heat!
Great spot for drinks and dog friendly!! I love the mangonada margarita and my husband love the cosmic echoes beer The tacos were good but unfortunately the meat and tortilla was cold when we got the food Salsa / chips and queso guac combo was really good and great price Service is self order for the tacos - super simple but order at bar for drinks Plenty of outdoor seating - not too much of an indoor space Parking lot available and street parking too
Great place to chill and have drinks! They offer a variety on alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. A variety of coffee drinks were available, and adjacent is a spot to order tacos, nachos etc We came to chill. They have a spacious outdoor space, a natural water/green feature, and an outdoor upstairs seating area for views. Fun music playing overhead. We sat for a bit to chat before we headed for dinner.
Loved this E Austin place for breakfast and coffee. Beautiful setting / could have spent the day hanging in the yard. Food was fresh and delicious. Lots of inventive drink options.
This is definitely a spot to check out if you're in the area. The outdoor space is beautiful and perfect for letting kids or dogs explore supervised. I love spending time here and decompressing. As for the coffee itself, I wouldn't necessarily say it's the reason I come. The drinks are okay--more on the sweet, syrupy, and creative side if that's your thing. They do make a lot of cocktails and specialty alcoholic beverages, so I can see how that's a big plus for coming in the evening. I tend to strictly come in the morning and opt for a cortado and a taco from the taco shop onsite. The taco spot is pretty awesome--they make their tortillas in house and the staff is super friendly. Heads up, for those looking for authentic aguas frescas--you won't get them here as they use a syrup base form the bar for the drinks. They do offer elote in a cup and some other treats at times. 4/5 for ambience and tacos.
Cosmic Saltillo is such a vibe. They had a live DJ when I went on a Saturday, which added great energy. I was greeted by the staff who were super nice. The drink menu has a nice mix of coffee and alcoholic options. I tried the Banana Cloud Cold Brew. I'm usually not a fan of banana flavors, but this one was smooth and not artificial at all. Plenty of seating and space to hang out, work, or study. My friend and I had such a great time, we ended up getting tacos there as well. Before we knew it, we had spent 4 hours there!! Definitely a spot I'd come back to.
When you've got that friend or family member coming in for the weekend, Cosmic Saltillo is the best choice for the following: 1. Outdoor breakfast tacos with the family (strollers & pets accepted) 2. Guys brunch at a picnic table 3. A rehash of last night with your best friend at the bar 4. The first stop for suburbanites who've come in town for the day The food menu is limited but the cocktail list has got something for everyone. It's beautiful and eclectic so great for photos. There's a parking garage around the corner and there's limited paid street parking.
There are so many spaces to try in Austin, but the one I have been dying to check out is Cosmic Saltillo off East 4th Street. Last weekend, with a group of friends, we all ventured to Cosmic Saltillo to check it out. Immediately, the space is extremely welcoming. The outdoor area feels like a peaceful garden with a small fountain, a stream, and wooden picnic tables and benches. Inside is the bar where the menu is filled with custom cocktails on tap and plenty of other options as well. We settled in on the upstairs balcony with a perfect view of Downtown Austin and the CapMetro Rail. There are quite a few tables up there and we were lucky to get one right as it opened up. As for the drinks, I started with their Nitro Espresso Cocktail which is a way of saying it is kinda basically sorta maybe an Espresso Martini. It was great. Next I drank a Coors Banquet to offset it, but their draft and bottled beer selection as a whole is great with some specific Cosmic collabs with local breweries. After that, I had their Frozen Boozy Coffee which is served in a special paper cup that looks eerily similar to the Wendy's logo. Once you try it, it is not a frozen hot chocolate. It is a boozy frosty and it is amazing. Lastly, I had a beergarita which is a margarita built on Vacancy Brewing's Super Agave lager and it was also fantastic. The nighttime atmosphere at Cosmic Saltillo is great especially if you are with great company like I was, but I can only imagine a Saturday afternoon being even better since the space is so welcoming and cozy. They have a full espresso and coffee bar and a taco joint but I tried neither. I will be coming back to Saltillo with a group because it is a great spot in a good area of Austin. The balcony feels like a cheat code with how it overlooks Cosmic itself and the Austin skyline. RIYL: Wendy's Chocolate Frosties if they were made with mezcal and tequila.
Such a great spot to meet friends or enjoy the outdoors with drinks! The place is very lively and has great outdoor seating. It can get busy so come early. There are many drink choices and bites to choose from. We got the chips and guac which were the bomb. Drinks were good too! Highly recommend. read more
Food: I ordered a bowl, and wasn't particularly hungry scored about it, but I had the chip trio it had salsa, queso, & guacamole and that was good, nothing special. The drinks are where they thrive, lots of options and the drink I had tasted really good. I personally wouldn't come here for good eats, but it's great for drinks and meet ups. Service: everyone was kind to me, you order your food on an iPad and your drinks with a person not too much interaction with staff past that. Ambiance: this was a really unique place. I love the outdoor bench vibes, lots of sunlight, and there are limited indoor seating options to stay in the air condition. I sat outside and there was also a DJ it was a Sunday and he was playing some jams! Lots of patrons had their dogs outside so it you don't like that then skip this place. read more

The vibes of Cosmic Saltillo command a gentle and fun oasis in the heart of East Austin. I love the beautiful atmosphere, plenty of seating although on a lovely sunny day, it will be hard to secure shaded seats unless you become a vulture scouting constantly. One thing to note is their top notch boozy cocktails and refreshing coffee/teas if you're not looking for alcohol so both drinkers and nonalcoholic folks can indulge alike. We also love the fact that you can order tacos, bring dogs and have a good space to just relax and socialize with friends. Parking is street as usual so walking is preferred if you know what you're getting into when in the hood. Finally this is such a fun place for families as I found plenty of parents with kiddos and strollers moseying about while also seeing young and older alike. More of this around Austin, and more importantly the best crafty drinks around for a central get together to bring north and south Austin peeps in a united spot. :) read more

I was already a huge fan of Cosmic on SoCo and I'm equally impressed with what they've established in East Austin. They have such a knack for creating an entire vibe - the ambiance, indoor/outdoor flow, the balance between food options (tacos) and beverages (hot and cold). We arrived on a late Sunday afternoon and the place was packed. What I enjoyed observing was the diversity - it's wasn't all 20-something's though there were many of them. There were people playing cards, having conversations, reading a book, working away on their laptops - it was a cool sense of community and openness. I tried the spiked hot chocolate and loved it. I also tried a taco from the shed and it was quite good. My only one constructive feedback was to add more staff to the service team on weekends - the lines were long to order but having only one guy preparing everyone's drinks seemed a bit ridic on a busy Sunday. read more
Visited Cosmic Saltillo as soon as I landed in Austin. A friend suggested we meet there before dinner. I arrived mid afternoon and the place was buzzing. Fortunately, I didn't drive; I took a rideshare so I didn't have to worry about parking. It looks limited to street parking. Cosmic Saltillo is a really neat place. There's tons of indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor space is massive and has plenty of shade. They serve alcoholic and non-alcoholic coffee, tacos, and more. The wifi is strong. Saving my appetite for dinner, I only ordered a drink; a boozy iced coffee. I don't remember the name, but it was creamy, but not too rich. Sweet, but not overly sweet, and quite tasty. I could see myself frequenting Cosmic Saltillo if I lived in the area! read more

Came here for some drinks and a bite to eat with some friends and we all loved it here! I got a cocktail and tried some of the brisket nachos and everything was fantastic. Such a cute area with plenty of outdoor seating. The service was also great with awesome waitstaff :) I will definitely be back! read more

This place is nothing short of magical. Hidden away on the east side of Austin by the train tracks is this super amazing spot. The atmosphere is 10/10. One building has all your cocktail needs and the building next door is all your street tacos and yummy bites! You could come here and hangout for hours or hang at the bar if the heat is too much! Later in the evening the lighting is very aesthetic and cozy! Great staff! read more

The tiny amount of meat they put in the tacos is actually criminal. Made even worse by the false advertising on the menu where they show a taco with a normal amount of meat. The drinks here are good but this was egregious... read more

Cosmic Saltillo is the perfect place to sit outside and enjoy the Austin sun! We came here for some drinks and appetizers before we went to some bars on East 6th. I ordered a watermelon cooler with tequila and my boyfriend got the house frozen marg. The drinks were super yummy and looked so cute! Then we split a brisket taco and some chips and guacamole. The taco was full of delicious, tender brisket and it was huge! The guacamole wasn't anything special and I wish it had some tomatoes, onions, and cilantro in it for some more flavor but it was alright. The vibes definitely made up for the average guac! There's tons of picnic tables, lawn chairs, and tables upstairs. Great for large or small groups. They had a DJ for some good music and vibes for a Saturday out. I haven't been here in the morning but I've heard their coffee is also really good. Would love to come back during the day to do some work and enjoy the gorgeous space. Overall an awesome outdoor space for drinks and close to lots of other bars and restaurants. read more
Husband and I went to this pretty cool outdoor coffee shop and I was so happy to find delicious iced coffee in a very hot day! The staff were very friendly but I will say this place isn't really stroller friendly, but that's not really on them lol read more
LOVED THIS SPOT!! The vibes were absolutely amazing - super cute outdoor seating area, lots of dogs, and just so vibrant and lively. This is a great location to grab a drink, brunch, or snacks to come and hang out with friends or family, or even some light work. I really enjoyed my breakfast tacos as well, and they had many unique drink options. All delicious! read more
We love Cosmic Saltillo! We visited here every other week or so during the Summertime for frozen cocktails. I always thought of frozen drinks as just being too sweet and not strong. These are boozy and delicious! I have tried a few of their prebatched cocktails, but my favorite is the mangonada and coffee with mezcal (looks like a Wendy's frosty). My fiance was obsessed with the pineapple flip flop which was kind of like a painkiller with matcha in it. So good and refreshing. They had $3 or $4 "lil daqs" on Fridays over the Summer, so we went for that almost every week. The bartenders are nice and the outdoor space is comfortable. I've never had food or coffee, but for frozen cocktails I can definitely recommend this spot. I believe they offer validated parking in a nearby garage, but we always walk or scooter there. I'm excited to visit when the weather is cooler to fully enjoy hanging outdoors! read more

I love that Cosmic Saltillo maintains the same great offerings as the original location on Pickle Road. Just like the Cosmic on Pickle, it's dog-friendly and offers the same great drinks. While there aren't any food trucks for variety, there is a single brick-and-mortar taco shop on-site (though, I'd recommend to pass). I like that this location is conveniently in East Austin. If you want to keep it chill, you can stay at Cosmic, or if you want to bar hop, there's a whole street worth of bars down the road. If you're here joining on a weekend, make sure to check online if they're hosting a coffee rave in advance, as the vibe is the exact opposite of chill. For additional space, there's a small balcony upstairs if you're wanting something more privacy. read more
Great cafe/breakfast spot/bar/hangout located off East 6th street. I was in Austin over the weekend and I ended up coming here twice I liked it so much. You're able to get coffee drinks, breakfast tacos, and beer/cocktails even. It has a great outdoor space with plenty of space to hang out and read, and some indoor seats too. The decor of the outside area is nice, with several plants and a small pond. It can get a little crowded the later the day gets, but service remains pretty fast regardless. Staff were all nice, and I really enjoyed the vibe and everything they had to offer. I'd highly recommend to anyone visiting, or those who live in Austin but haven't been yet. read more

I got cosmic comet latte which was $6. (The pic shows latte 2 shots of espresso ) but in the beginning thecolor was all white espresso and I went to bar asked for espresso shot I paid $9.50 for 2 espresso shot. Customer care is terrible. The latte was $6 originally . Unbelievable. read more
While parking around the place is bad, we did find a public parking garage not that far away and it was only $5 an hour when we went. The place is very nice, a nice walkway and lots of open space inside, I assume sometimes there is dancing? They have a disco ball so maybe. There is a area with chairs and a bar like table to sit at in side and TONS of seating outdoors with a huge screen which was showing Texas vs OU this day. Cool added feature they were giving out free shots with every Texas Touchdown! The drinks were good and as Shana puts it "pretty" and the service was mostly fast and friendly. They do have Tacos but we didn't try them as we had already eaten. Shana loved the drinks and the vibe, at one point the TV outside stopped working and they lost the game which given the rivalry that didn't go well, no one was overly mean that I could see but you could tell people were not happy. We only stopped in for a drink as we were close, we wanted to see Gibson Street bar but parking was impossible there so they lost our business. This one also does Halloween but for whatever reason had not put up décor yet. Cool Place overall. read more
I've had two separate visits to Cosmic Saltillo and both had very different vibes -- but weirdly enough, the vibe fit my personal occasion on both visits. My first experience was a date, where things were lower key but still hip and conducive to a pleasant start to the evening before dinner reservations. My second visit things were definitely kicked up a notch, with a DJ and larger crowd -- good for getting my friends and I hyped to go to some bars. The bartenders were noticeably charismatic, and the atmosphere definitely left a good impression on me. I enjoyed the drinks on both visits, going with their specialty cocktails. read more
All of social media kept telling me to get coffee from Cosmics. Luckily they opened this new location closer to my airbnb so of course I went! You walk through a little walkway full of greenery then are immediately greeted to their open outdoor layout! Majority of their seating is outdoors and they have alot of it. Looking at their menu, they got alot of nice options for everyone. The cashier was super helpful and nice. My amaretto latte was rich and smooth with the right amount of sweetness. Then we walked next door to grab some breakfast tacos which were fire! They also sell booze which is cool!! read more
I wish I could give ten stars! The signature frozen boozy coffee is the only thing I drink. I love it so much I can't deviate. I want to. Others have and I taste the drinks they get and YUM! But the boozy is all me! I really dig everything about this place. Amazing garden water features, art, old and new combined. Ample and super cool seating areas. Just all around fun. Staff seem to love their job. The food and snacks are always delish too. read more
Cool concept but it's definitely limited imo. Seats are mostly outside and the sun protection isn't ideal which I'm curious as to how they thrive in Texas summers (I know they are a bar at night but still). This place is aggressive austin but not in a bad way. I got an OJ, mint, pineapple matcha drink (I think it's called like matcha hangover cure or smth) which was super refreshing I can't lie. We also tried a cannabis drink which they said was new and it was just okay imo. It was a lavender lemonade CBD drink. Not a lot of outlets and kinda loud... maybe a better place to passive do work and catch up rather than grind. Many people having video calls and on the phone so it was a bit annoying. read more

Finally had the chance to come check out this location today. I've been staying with some friends in the eastside and there are 3 of us working from home so I decided to go somewhere to give them space, and for myself to get some fresh air since Austin is still giving us its lovely spring weather - warm with cool breeze and lots of things in the air to trigger your allergies. I passed this place the first time I was trying to get there because there's no actual sign of where the place is, even the parking lot isn't that obvious. But once I turned around and figured it out, I still was confused about where to enter. Maybe it's just me, but there really should be signs! When I entered the place, I fell in love instantly. It's very charming and rustic and spacious - good vibes all around. Again, the weather was a huge factor to this charm. The inside where you order drinks feels like a typical coffee shop until you see the bar and menu and you're reminded that you're in a Cosmic. I like this place so much. A lot smaller than the one off of SoCo, but this is super cute. Con - Noise level. It's hard to take a call here because they play the music on a steady volume for ambiance. And the train passes by every 10 miutes or so. read more
We are big fans of Cosmic Saltillo! We used to frequent the original Cosmic location on Pickle Road, so we knew we would love this new location just as much. The place looks fantastic! We enjoy bringing our visiting family and friends here because it's so beautiful, the bartenders are friendly, and the drinks are excellent. There's ample outdoor seating, and they even allow dogs, which is a bonus. I haven't tried the food yet, but I'll check it out the next time we visit. I suggest going later in the evening during the summer to avoid the heat. There isn't much covered seating to shield from the sun, and the indoor area isn't very large. Parking isn't too bad if you're lucky. There's a decent-sized free parking lot near the front entrance and street parking available in the neighborhood. read more

This is hands down one of my favorite spots to work remotely! It has has plenty of outdoor seating, exceptional service, the best breakfast tacos, fire pits and of course coffee. Their cosmic latte is always a go to for me! read more
OOOOOMG! COSMIC added a new location on the East side it is WAAAAAY COOL ~ Very tropical with lots of large & small plants, greenery everywhere, covered patio in addition to many picnic tables, water features complete with water lillies some iron works add to the thoughtful design. Coffee GR8 as usual with the same vibes as the original with all the other drink options too A BIG difference is NO food trucks..... however they do have a TACO RESTAURANT on site with lots of option & all MADE TO ORDER I had a crispy bacon egg & Avocado on a flour tortilla and it was da bomb ~ my husband had a carnitas taco & el pastor taco too, both we juicy, fresh and his words "possibly the BEST tacos I have had in Austin!" Plenty of free parking but as you know this place fills up ~ so street parking is also an option (if you can find it) this is a very walkable neighborhood. read more

From an out-of-town visitor, this secret gem was an unexpected highlight of my trip! Perfect hip lively, natural outdoor atmosphere; fantastic and warm service from Preston, and a fantastic unique coffee!. (Highly recommend the Cosmic Coffee Latte! A great unique flavor you didn't know you've been missing. Don't miss this perfect spot! read more
What's not to like about Cosmic Saltillo? Good energy, great outdoor space, good drinks and food. We initially ordered a latte and cinnamon hot tea. They ended up being out of the tea, but were able to quickly change it up. When you walk in, turn left and you'll order your drinks inside. When you get up to the counter to order, scan the barcode and you can order food and pay for it digitally. They were quick to get out our drinks and we waited maybe 10 minutes for our tacos, which were the avocado bacon and brisket egg. Both were delicious. My only issue was the one tough part of brisket I got that I couldn't bite through and ended up discarding. I would personally shred it more for easier eating. The space is naturally built into older warehouses on the east side of downtown. There's a rooftop space to sit as well with good views. There is a parking lot, but if there's no space, we were able to park on the street nearby for about $1 an hour, which isn't bad. We'll be back! read more
