Love a good coffee and a fun food truck. This place conveniently does both :) Saw a bunch of good…read morereviews about this place and knew I had to stop by on my trip to Austin. Went on a Saturday and there was a line out to the street. It took about 20/30 minutes, but once you ordered it was quick! They also passed out tasters in the line which I appreciate. It's part of a little food truck community so theres a bunch of outdoor tables shaded by trees- loveddd the vibes. I got the Iced Brown Sugar Miso Latte and the Iced Guava Matcha (vegan version). The latte was good, but it wasn't anything crazy different from a normal sweetened latte honestly. The matcha, however, was amazingggg. I've never had a guava matcha before and the flavor combo was amazing. I would 100% go back to try their other coffee options and get the guava matcha. Also really appreciate that they were able to veganize it for us!

Coming back to Desnudo to update my old review. Initially I didn't love their straight up matcha…read morelatte, but I've come to realize that Desnudo is the place that does the "dressed up" matcha very well. Their plain matcha latte was just ok, but this time I got the pistachio mascarpone cream specialty match and it was great! Also really love their staff - they are so friendly while sitting outside in the heat. And their music this time was fire, we really loved the Shakira they had on. A fun place!

The staff clearly recognized quite a few customers during the short time I was there to do a quick grab and go of caffeine. The staff was super friendly and took their time in helping me pick out a bag of beans based off my personal preferences and intent of use (cortados/lattes vs drip/press). Their beans are well priced at around $14 a bag AND you get a complimentary drip coffee with the purchase! I felt like a winner! I also gave their canned lemonade and coffee drink a try - because why not? It had a unique and almost chocolatey flavor. Not sure if I loved it personally, but the quality of the ingredients and flavors were distinctly there. Certainly will take the time to come back to test out the space for a remote work day or a casual outing. Big plus: They have a parking lot and the option of indoor and outdoor seating. That's more like it!

In the last couple of years, I have tried beans from many specialty coffee roasters ranging from…read morethe best local options to mail order from all over the country. Third Coast has become my 'daily driver' for espresso, as their beans offer the best combination of quality, value, and service. El Guapo has been the top choice so far with classic caramel, chocolate notes and a nice syrupy mouthfeel. Every bag has been consistently-roasted and quick to dial-in. Third Coast has so far resisted the insane shrinkflation that has affected many coffee options. As a comparison, local roaster Greater Goods is nearly 2x more expensive, and Third Coast is better. This is the best value in high quality espresso in Austin...and maybe across the US. Highly-recommended!

**Perfect last night in Austin!**…read more The Baja fish tacos were crispy, fresh, and full of flavor, easily the best mahi mahi fish tacos I've had outside of Maui. The 40/40 West Coast IPA was the perfect pairing (I had two). The entire bar staff was incredible: Laszlo, Jeanette, Gigi, and Chelsea were all friendly, attentive, and made my last night in Austin unforgettable. Wish I could come back tomorrow!

I most recently ate...maybe six (hey, they're small!). Even the guy at the register, after my third visit up to order two tacos at a time, said, "you really like those tacos..." No shame, bb. Shrimp tacos, chipotle chicken, nachos... all great. They do a bit heavy on the onions, so maybe ask for it on the side.

I've been going to Summer Moon for years and have visited quite a few of their locations at this…read morepoint. It's been fun to see how much they've expanded over the years! They're known for their signature moon milk, which is a sweetened milk they use in a bunch of their drinks. I really like it. It has a unique flavor, and I appreciate that you can customize how sweet you want your coffee. They offer different sweetness levels (¼, 1/2, ¾, and full), as well as "whisper" sweetness, which is just . It's a great option if you prefer your coffee just a little sweet. Our usual order is the Whisper Wintermoon, and it's consistently good. Their coffee is solid, and the moon milk adds a lovely, light sweetness without being overpowering. I've also tried their iced matcha, which is fine, but I wouldn't necessarily come here specifically for it. They sometimes have breakfast tacos in the mornings from a local vendor, and those have been pretty good too. All in all, Summer Moon is a coffee shop we've enjoyed for a long time. Good coffee, a unique take on sweetened drinks, and plenty of locations around Austin.

Their pastries are really good, especially the cardamom bun. Also a great place to buy beans, they roast daily I believe.

It is pretty terrible.

Anderson's Coffee Company is one of the coolest stores I have been to in some time. A friend…read morerecommended this store for coffee. They sell coffee by the pound, likely for those serious coffee lovers who have fancy expensive coffee machines. I was looking for a latte. Bad news...this coffee company sells coffee by the pound not lattes (hence the name). Good news... they sell drip coffee for $2.00 + tax. What a deal! This family owned shop has been roasting beans locally since 1972 and focuses on helping customers brew excellent coffee at home rather than serving coffee drinks on premises. According to the store manager, Mr. Anderson occasionally comes into the store. The selection of freshly roasted beans is rather larger, with store favorites like Guatemala Antiqua, Dark Sumatra and Arabian Mocha cited as most popular. Coffee cost on average $19 per pound. In addition to coffee, the store carries loose leaf teas, mugs, candy, cards, coffee pot sweaters, brewing equipment, and small other gift items, to name just a few items. I was totally and completely enamored with this store. They had so many trinkets and interesting items, you literally could peruse for hours. Captivating environment...Loved it...

Service for the latte was a little slow even though it didn't seem like too many people were before me waiting for their drink. Very cute vibes. Parking in the plaza can fill up quickly so follow the signs for additional parking.

Things Mozart's does well: food and desserts…read more Drinks are falling behind. The peach cobbler matcha just tasted like matcha so why bother calling it peach cobbler? There was some stuff sprinkled on top but very disappointing. Things that are not so great: 1. Orders are all over the place. We got a matcha, a cold brew, and a drip. Matcha came out first. Never got a cup for the drip so had to ask. Also had to remind barista about the cold brew, which is easier and faster to make than the matcha given you just pour it in a cup with ice. Do they just jump around from ticket to ticket when making drinks? 2. I asked for our desserts to be in to go boxes and I wanted our savory food heated up because we were going to eat it there. I said this 3-4x. Everything was placed in to go containers so I had to take the savory food out and ask again for it to be heated up. Food placed after us was already in the toaster so we had to wait extra long for our food to be placed in there and heated up. 3. Music is way too loud. Can't even talk. Thankfully there was a longer than scheduled break in-between the first band and the second band that we could actually talk and enjoy our food. 4. The wait times are ridiculous. The line does NOT move that fast. Probably because people have to keep asking the workers where their stuff is. 5. Parking is terrible. A woman and her friend pulled out and I pulled in only to have valet claim it was their spot. How did a woman and her friend walk to her car and pull out if it was valet? There was also no cone but sure, it belongs to valet. Was this a way of trying to get us to pay? Touristy trap. Yes, I know there is an overflow lot. It is usually packed/full. I was also with elderly parents. Good luck walking down that hill without falling. They used to have someone in a little cart take people back and forth but not anymore. I tipped $8 for worse than Chipotle/Subway service. I've been here on a weekday mid-day before and they've forgotten my iced Americano before. I've had to go up and ask the baristas just standing around and clearly not working on my drink. Then I would sit down and 5-7 min would go by. Still no drink. Go back to the front. They say, oh there's your drink (half melted). I was sitting inside at a table talking with a friend. Surely if they called my name, I would have heard them but I guess they cannot be bothered. I've been coming to Mozart's since high school since I live nearby. Service has become a joke. It's turned into a tourist attraction with prices to match and extremely long lines The food is good, I will give them that. Once the food quality goes down, there is absolutely no point in coming. I also worked as a barista in high school and college. I can adequately judge the level of service as I've been through the crazy rushes. The service is terrible here. It's like they think because they're Mozart's on the lake, they can just not care about providing good service. The people working there, while always polite, do not seem like they like working there. I dont know how to explain it. I think it's because Mozart's is tourist attraction and no longer an actual Austin coffee shop. It feels like Starbucks right at the point Starbucks sold out. It's such a shame. I live a few minutes away so I would like to come here more often but every time I come, I'm always a bit unhappy about my visit.
