I had the brown sugar miso, it was creamy and delicious! The small comes with two shots of espresso which is great! Sweet service and cool vibe.

Monica Q.

This place was very hyped up so I was very excited to try it! We planned to grab coffee and walk the lake and the location is ideal if you're having a day with the girls and walking around downtown Austin. The service was quick and efficient, the coffee was good however I thought it would be a tad sweeterrr but it wasn't. I still drank it all and would be willing to try something else if I stumbled upon it again!

GUAYABA MATCHA 100000/10 Amazing My fave matcha ever pls keep it forever Also tried the ham and cheese croissant and pretty good great crunch but not my fave filling Ordered online and had a quick and easy pickup In front of a cute plant shop

Desnudo might be the best coffee in Austin. This location is very cute and the baristas are SO nice. I got the brown sugar miso latte and it was amazing. I recommend getting a signature latte from the menu. Desnudo is a must try spot!

Very delayed in getting my first cup of joe from Desnudo but it lived up to the hype. What a world it would be if there were a plethora of Desnudo on every corner instead of Starbucks. I got my usual classic hot latte because I thought I should start with the basics for my first try, and also got the guayaba croissant which absolutely rocked my world. The staff was super friendly and also by my surprise, I was able to find a parking spot at 9:30am, which is typically unheard of. There's a cute sitting area just outside the Frond Plant Shop and I noticed other parking spots on the side of the building as I was leaving. It was a rainy morning but 100% worth the quick stop. Desnudo, please come further South (like the Menchaca / Slaughter area) :) Editing to add the best part -- being able to order online for pickup before arriving. Some coffee spots I haven't been able to try because they don't offer this convenience. It really puts you on the map!

The third location and the newest one as of October 2025. The quality is consistent. The location if very cute. It's attached to a plant shop. Desnudo is doing a good job. I hope they can keep the quality with the expansion

I got the hot white vanilla miso latte with the orange blossom for my first time here despite all the rave around the brown sugar miso. The miso adds a caramel flavor that is just the best in coffee. The orange blossom was a subtle flavor and I couldn't really taste the orange unfortunately. I would say if you love sweet coffees, the signature lattes are for you. I personally prefer my drinks stronger in the coffee taste and would try the other classic options or matcha next time! While I waited in line, there was a nice lady handing out samples of their cold brew and explaining the drink menu to those who had questions in line. It was really nice to see the staff excited about interacting with their customers and their menu!

good coffee, good people, and good vibes; what more can you ask for?! we ordered two drinks and even got to try a cortado on the house, which was such a nice touch. the staff are genuinely the sweetest people ever. i didnt try the brown sugar miso or shoyu butterscotch since im not a fan of sweet + savory combo. however, the guayaba matcha was so rich and tropical, highly recommend if you like sweeter drinks. the hojicha was perfectly nutty and roasted, and im so glad i tried it since hojicha isn't something you see at cafes very often. their espresso was also extremely velvety and decadent. they were giving out samples of their current cold brew rotation too, and it tasted exactly like chocolate covered raspberries! the floral and cocoa notes came through beautifully looking forward to coming back and trying more of their specials!

I love this location of Desnudo! The staff is so warm and kind. They are always willing to make conversation to get to know their customers as well as answer questions about the menu! Parking can be a little tricky, but I come in the morning during the week and haven't had many issues! I love the mix of indoor and outdoor seating. It's definitely the type of place people like to meet and gather, it's great people watching and often times there are cute pups, too (which they have complimentary treats for). The coffee is also delicious! None of them are overly sweet and are well balanced in their flavors! Often times the staff will be handing out samples of their drip coffee so you can try something new! I'm not a huge matcha fan but I've brought many friends who are and they all rave about the guava matcha!

Julio G.

Heard so much about this spot. Had to try it for myself. They lived up to the expectations and beyond! Coffee and matcha were killers and definitely left impressed. Taste buds were loving each sip!

Diana S.

Wow this place is so good! I loved the new matcha drink--La Guayaba--the guava foam was *chef's kiss*. It is on the pricier side for coffee but I think it's worth it for a splurge once in a while. We also got the Brown Sugar Miso which was delicious as always!

Chrissy S.

Tried this during a visit to Austin and hands down the best lattice. I had the white vanilla miso and it was so decadent and tasty. It was different for other lattes that I have tried. The staff was super sweet and gave alot of recommendations which helped us decide what to get. They also gave us some samples to try and it was delicious.

Ben N.

This may be one of the best coffee experiences I have had. We ordered the desnudo drink, cold brew, and matcha. The cold brew and desnudo were fantastic! The desnudo was a great espresso drink - velvety, chocolatey, and nutty, while the cold brew was a wonderful coffee drink - fruity and floral. The baristas were equally as fantastic - friendly and inviting. They also know their coffee.

This was my first time visiting Desnudo, I wasn't sure what to order so I asked for a recommendation. The sweet lady at the front suggested the Guava Matcha and since I wanted something refreshing, it ended up being exactly what I was looking for. I tasted the matcha but also the guava and was a great combination. For me one of the best matcha drinks I've had in a while. The space is cute, with outdoor seating if you want to hang out for a bit (they play really good music). Service was quick and I also loved that they sell bags of coffee to take home. There's even a lovely plant shop right across the way, which makes the whole area feel even more nice.The only thing to keep in mind is that parking can be a bit of a hassle, so be prepared for that. This feels like one of those coffee spots you can keep coming back to whenever you're craving coffee or matcha. I'll definitely be back! read more

Desnudo Coffee (South Lamar) is on most best coffee shop lists. The original location in East Austin is always packed with a wraparound line. This was our first time at Desnudo on South Lamar and this food truck location delivers the same experience as the original Desnudo...great coffee sourcing, micro roasted coffee and nicely balanced flavors. As a friendly reminder, most popular menu items are on the top left portion of a menu or at the top of a menu. Desnudo is known for their signature brown sugar miso latte, of course, at the top of the menu. This addicting latte offers a subtle savory-sweet balance that's both unique and incredibly smooth. We also tried the vanilla miso latte and I must say, I liked the vanilla miso latte better than the brown sugar miso latte. It was less sweet and smoother. We also had some hibiscus tea, which was bold and exploding with flavor. The atmosphere at the South Lamar location is laid-back and casual with outdoor seating available for you to enjoy your treats. Also, our barista, Araceli, was super sweet and kind. Excellent service... Desnudo Coffee on South Lamar is fully worth the stop. They are ahead of the coffee pack for well-crafted drinks, excellent service, and an authentic coffee experience. read more

If you haven't heard of desnudo you are behind my friend! My favorite coffee in Austin by a mile. I used to dread going because the east side location always has massive lines but this is the perfect stop. Right off south Lamar, it's a food truck with a tiny indoor and outdoor seating area, but they serve the whole menu and some limited pasties! Service is sometimes slow but I've never waited more than 10min for my coffee. The brown butter miso is my favorite. Such interesting and delicious flavors! So glad to have a desnudo close by. read more

I'm not really a review guy, but here I am, because I was just kinda blown away from my experience just now... This place, quite possibly has the nicest staff in all of Austin. Only been once (so far) but all of the women working there (Monday 10/20/25) were so incredibly warm and welcoming in a way that didn't feel forced or insincere. I work in the service industry so I get how hard it is to find quality staff that actually seems excited to be at work... Hospitality isn't for everyone, but it seemed to be ingrained in every person I came in contact with this morning... I'm not normally a drip coffee kinda guy, but the sample I was given while I was waiting was so tasty I'd actually consider ordering it instead of my normal quad shot latte, which is a wild thing for me to admit. Speaking of, that quad shot latte was delicious too . 5 star experience... Just be warned that this is still a trailer on a VERY busy road, so if you're looking for a quiet place to chat or work, this isn't that. What it is, is a place to grab a great coffee made by extremely nice people that actually know and care about what they're doing, which to me, is way more important than ambiance. read more

I may be the current Duke of this location, but there is still a lot for me to try. And dang, I really want one of those really nice tote bags. Before I discuss the coffee order I got this time. I wanted to shout out the customer service for being ridiculously amazing. Maybe it was because I got there super early and right when they opened, but this was the first time I did not see them super stressed and low-key freaking out. I usually walk away with my beverages, but this time I sat down. One of the baristas actually came out and checked on me to see how my drinks were. I found this to be super special. Okay, now onto the dirty chai that I ordered. I asked (when I asked about the floral notes that I was tasting) if they made their own chai in house and the woman told me that they in fact did. She also mentioned that I got the end of the house-made batch so what I was tasting might be different from a normal order. I thought this was quite interesting and this was another unique beverage, despite being a staple at many coffee shops. Would I order it again? Probably not but it was good! Also, with the Shoyu butterscotch, I would stick to the iced version. So thank you Desnudo for another great vibe and for making my one hour round-trip always worth it!

But not so terrible that I would never come back. The staff is really nice and attentive, and they have delicious pastries near the front of the bar as well. There is plenty of seating and charging outlets so you can continue to use your computer, or tablet as needed. It's also in a really cool location with pretty art outside. My recommendation to the staff would be to amplify the syrup flavoring just a tiny bit more on their special drinks. Other than that things are great!

Anderson's Coffee Company

Locally owned & operated

50 years in business

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...

I've been buying coffee at Anderson Co since 1975 when I got out of the Navy (Sailors drink a lot o…read morecoffee!) and recommending it to my friends. The staff has changed over the years but I've always looked forward to the friendly interactions and perusing the large variety of equipment, confections and mugs. It's also a great place to buy gifts. The store has barely changed except for new products even though it's been in the same location since 1972. And, the coffee is the best!

They got very interesting lattes that push the boundaries with some umami bombs, but for the most part, it's just subtle in the drinks themselves. I went two days in a row since I was in the area for a conference. The brown sugar miso latte is divine - just sweet enough, excellent espresso shot and subtle earthy notes that really pair well together. The shoyu butterscotch is not that sweet as far as butterscotch goes but you can definitely tell the umami from the soy sauce is more present. Worth a try, but the miso lattes are better. They're pretty quick. If there's a line, it moves fast.

The atmosphere is laid-back and perfect for spending quality time with friends and family. We ordered a Mediterranean wrap, cold sandwiches, iced coffee, refreshing drinks, and a delicious banana muffin. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced, making it a great value for the experience. The vibe here is peaceful and inviting. Although it can get quite hot during the Texas summer, they also operate in the evening, which makes it an ideal place to unwind after sunset. We really enjoyed everything we ordered and look forward to coming back, perhaps after spending some time on the water. If you're looking for a relaxing lakeside hangout in Austin, this place is definitely worth a visit. Cheers!

There wasn't a line (it was a pretty hot day) so we managed to order quickly. We opted to split the Black Betty. It was huge!! I loved the blackberry sauce and fruit mixed in with the cream and sugar. This is one big dessert so I'm glad we shared it - honestly would be worth splitting a whole one amongst a few people unless you have a big sweet tooth! The staff were really quick with the order. There's ample seating by the truck which is probably nice for part of the year, but we were suffering on a hot summer day. I would highly recommend this spot - but keep in mind the weather as it's all outdoor and outdoor seating only.

I ordered my tried and true Miss Shortcake with their famous cake donut with cream cheese icing and fresh cut strawberries. The donut is so indulgent and was served warm with the most delectable flavor combinations. Tried the Son of a Peach with cream cheese icing, spiced peach filling, cake mix topping, cinnamon and sugar with honey butter. This one was a bit too overindulgent and sweet for my liking but was definitely worth a try. Portions are huge and can be shared as the donut is not as good warmed over. If you're in the mood for dessert and not think about calorie count, then this is the place.

The cheddar hash brown had a great crispy exterior with a creamy center, and the empanada was flaky with a well-seasoned filling. The cortado was also well-made and a nice way to finish the meal. Unfortunately, the overall experience was brought down by the seating. When we were seated outside, we were told it was our "lucky day" because the patio had fans. In reality, it was extremely hot and uncomfortable despite the fans, and there were pigeons constantly flying around the tables, which wasn't the relaxing brunch atmosphere we were hoping for. Service was fine...nothing exceptional, but no major issues either. I'd come back for the food, but I'd definitely wait for an indoor table next time. The kitchen delivered, but the outdoor dining experience made it difficult to fully enjoy the meal.

Sammie's has been hyped up on social media for a long time and I gotta say it's still underrated! I will gladly have Sammie's take the Pepsi challenge against red sauce joints in NYC/NJ etc. In fact, I've told friends and family that I am going to take them to Sammie's when they visit from there. We just had such a fantastic experience - everything..the vibe..the red light fixtures and the color of the booths and the floor..the service - our server was great..loved their outfits..really had an old school little italy feel to it. The food was much better than I even anticipated - as a guy who grew up on NJ diner mozzarella sticks, I have a high bar for them and these were magnificent. And seriously...taking the "everything's bigger in Texas" slogan and applying them to mozzarella sticks?! top 10 achievements of the decade. The chicken parm was perfect - well seasoned, proper amount of crisp..the basil on top...the perfect browning of the cheese. Also the lasanga was excellent..and best part - the leftovers..took it home and the next two days put them in a small cast iron and re-heated them..and the magic was right there in my hill country kitchen! Lastly and certainly not least - the cannoli...just look at the photo below.. I'll say, yes, the place is pricey but you can really easily split these entrees and then it becomes cheaper than a jersey strip center Italian joint.

Honestly, it's the kind of meal I could see myself ordering every week. My partner went with the Lost Recipe, which looked just as delicious. You can never really go wrong with fried chicken, and this version certainly didn't disappoint. The service was equally impressive. Our server was friendly, attentive and checked in regularly throughout the meal. She even brought us a complimentary crab pastry to try, which was a thoughtful touch and much appreciated. One thing to note this place gets busy, especially during lunch so plan accordingly. That said, the food and service are well worth it and the menu is reasonably priced. Kiin Di has successfully made the jump from food truck to full-service restaurant and it's definitely earned a spot on my regular rotation.
