    Coffee

    I got some apple pumpkin cold brew with a splash of almond milk milk. It was mid. Service was good and ambiance was cute. Felt like I was inside a tin can! Was a cool location

    I'm on a quest to hunt for the best coffee in Austin! This place was good but not necessarily anything to write home about. I had an event to go to on a Sunday morning and decided to look up coffee places near me, and the name really stood out. Google maps took me about a block and a half away from the actual location. I think they must have moved because there was a painted wall that also said El Tigre coffee roasters. When I finally arrived, I asked about their 3 different beans which I was surprised to find out that they only served their Brazil beans in house. The other 2 you would have to buy to be able to try. ‍ I ordered the Cold Brew. The best way I can put: It was good. The coffee has a subtle bright taste up front but mainly stayed more in the medium roast realm that wasn't too bright, bitter, or strong. Seemed to have good extraction but also felt it was a little weak on the end. I might come back if I'm in the area, but I'll probably keep searching at other places as well. Regardless, the name, merch, and coffee bags all looked amazing. I wish them nothing but success.

    Came around 9:30 ish on a Wednesday, and was able to find a spot in their parking lot. There was only one barista available so I waited a less than 3 minutes to order but patience is a virtue and clearly could see they are doing their jobs. I ordered an iced latte with whole milk and flavor was nice. I took to go, but they do look like the offer WiFi.

    I went on a Saturday afternoon and ordered a pistachio milk matcha latte with caramel syrup and an oat milk latte with rose syrup. The coffee latte was delicious and the rose syrup was appropriately subtle. I would've given El Tigre 5 stars but unfortunately my friend's matcha latte's taste was little off and not balanced well. I personally probably would've just drank it but she really didn't like it and asked for a different drink. The barista was very accommodating and kind enough to make her what I ordered since we really liked mine. They had outside picnic tables, some in the shade and some in the direct sunlight, best of both worlds! I'll be back but probably will be sticking to coffee drinks.

    The service is very quick and the coffee is good. The staff is always friendly. It's a relaxing atmosphere and there's air-conditioning in the second room and inside the trailer They also have Wi-Fi

    This was my first time trying El Tigre, and I was happily surprised! I've heard great things from friends so I knew I had to try it. The non-permanent and renovated airstream trailer was very cute and well furnished, and had cool air. The barista was very nice and helpful, so that always helps! And I decided on an iced caramel latte with whole milk, and it was perfectly sweet, the espresso had a prominent flavor and it was strong on the palette, and overall was refreshing in this heat! And the pastry was also very good!! I honestly can't wait to be back, I was delighted to find such a hidden gem!

    I drive by El Tigre Coffee on my way to work downtown. I noticed that the trailer is gone. Did they move or permanently close?

    I wish we had this place in Dallas, it's THAT good…read more I had seen multiple reviews about the brown sugar miso coffee and was so excited to try it, it definitely did not disappoint. Nestled in a cute food truck park, this place is a walk up and go kinda order but your coffee is out fast considering the long line. The brown sugar miso was 10/10 and the vanilla with orange blossom had such a unique flavor. All around this place is a must try.

    Once again, Desnudo coffee delivered two delicious beverages. This time I strayed from my usual,…read morebut I still kept the Shoyu butterscotch cause it is quite literally the best coffee you can get in Austin. 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!

Radio Rosewood is easily the smallest space of them all, but it has this neighborhood charm that the size of both their main location on Manchaca and Radio//East lack. It adds this entirely new level of comfort to Radio. They have brunch options, as I saw people getting served, but I come to Radio for their drinks most times. I got a Spiced Maple Oat Latte that was excellent. The staff is so welcoming that you wish you could stay longer. I'll have to come back and give this location more attention.

Today was our first time here and Sir Benjamin was definitely looking around for his playground. This is a great little shop with cool decor and design. Love the modern and concrete elements mixed with warm lighting, artwork, and a 70s ski lodge fireplace. The coffee is just as good as it is in Manor. I had the seasonal Cajeta cappuccino (iced) with oat milk. The perfect blend of espresso, caramel, vanilla & cinnamon. It's a banger, gang. After my earlier coffee and soda stops this morning (other places), I'm gonna be wired all the day long. Super service.

While it didn't have pumpkin in it, you'd never know. Also got the classic açaí bowl and it was ok. Definitely could have blended more as there were big chunks of frozen fruit and lots of small ones throughout. Ample granola and a few strawberries and banana pieces. Service was fine as well. What marked down stars was hygiene. Sat at the bar so got to see things being made. Gloves were not worn when handling food, and they moved between different areas including going to the back and using their phones. There was a box of gloves near the food area, and they were used, as a base layer for the dishwashing gloves. .

    We were visiting my BFF in Austin, and I just knew I had to take my family here. I came with my…read moreBFF, my mom, and my aunt. They had me help them choose their drinks during this visit. Neither of them could finish their entire glass of beer, so I ended up chugging the remaining half of both of theirs. The customer service was so sweet--I was struggling to translate the menu with my mom, and the guy at the front desk was truly helpful throughout. It really raised the experience of this place during what could've been a relatively stressful situation. Dirty Horchata - I was hoping for a stronger horchata taste. It's not bad, so it was worth the shot! Just grateful it wasn't too sweet. My BFF felt the same, as we're both horchata fiends from growing up in Chicago. Cherry Cider - The cider has a tangy taste. The cherry flavor isn't as strong, but it's a fragrant drink. The flavor slowly became sweeter the more I drank it. It grew on me, but it wouldn't be my go-to unless I knew I was munching on something salty that night. Violet Blueberry Blonde - My favorite of the two. This one has a tamer flavor with a nicer floral note. It was exactly what I asked for. I felt like I could've easily chugged a few of these. The guy at the counter definitely chose a great pick. I love the low-key ambiance of this place, the peaceful nighttime atmosphere, the fact that it's wedged into a cozy nook, and how it isn't so LOUD like many bars. Didn't get bit by a mosquito while we hung out there for an hour, so that's a huge plus. They were probably chewing on my friends' legs too intently to consider me, though. Wish I had something like this near my place in Houston. I would regularly hang out here on a weekday, no cap.

    $3 PBRs, open 24/7, what else can I ask for?…read more Time to Order: We got here around 9:45AM. Walked over but they seem to have plenty of parking. Tons of outdoor and patio seating, a few tables indoors in the AC. I ordered the Flapjack, hot, with double espresso in a larger cup, with half sweetness (effectively a large with less services). Delicious saltiness and cinnamon! I really enjoyed this. I tried the honey lavender latte which they said was the least sweet of their fort favorites. The lavender flavor was very forward and there was a hint of sweetness on the back of the tongue, so very accurate. I didn't get as much coffee flavor here so maybe double espresso if that's important to you. Friends also tried the seasonal coconut macadamia latte (they said it was nice, like a sweet nutty flavor). Really solid coffee spot with great vibes, I'd come back.
