The baristas were pretty preoccupied talking amongst themselves when we ordered which is kind of a bummer since I like to ask them for their faves when going to a new spot to make sure to try the best. Overall I wouldn't seek them out but for being so close to our Airbnb they were convenient.

Ambience - I really like the way this coffee shop was organized and all the decor and everything. Small outdoor space, cozy couch space, barstools, a bike shop... this coffee shop had a hip inner city feel to it, like it was meant to be in NYC or Chicago. The Matcha latte I ordered was good - I'll be honest, I can only tell when a matcha is really bad or if the proportions are very off. I also ordered a vegan kolache, and was very surprised by the amount of flavor in the vegan sausage. Would definitely recommend giving it a try. Overall, I really liked the coffee shop and would come here again to meet with friends or another date!

The coffee was solid -- well-made, flavorful, and definitely worth trying if you're in the area. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming, which added to the overall vibe. The only downside for me was the layout of the space. It felt a bit cramped, especially when there were more people inside, which made it harder to fully relax and enjoy the atmosphere. That said, the quality of the coffee and the friendliness of the staff would still make me come back again. Lastly, expect downtown prices and downtown parking.

I love everything about this progressive and inclusive coffee shop!…read moreA gathering place for like-minded folks, artists, writers, musicians, and so on. Works by local artists adorn the walls. Beautiful murals inside and outside of the shop. A little library sits in the back with books for folks to peruse over a cup of tea, coffee, or a cocktail. Friends meet up to play board games, discuss the current climate of the country & world, and to just enjoy fellow humans and a great brew. Rad employees who treat customers as friends. It's like walking into a safe haven---for everyone. Cute front porch with limited seating and the tiniest dog park in Texas. The back patio is spacious and provides creek views. Sitting on the back patio surrounded by water, trees, and murals brings a sense of calmness and relaxation in an otherwise crazy world. Very thankful places like this exist.

We stopped in on a rare rainy day in Austin before heading to breakfast. It's walking distance from…read moreour house and across the street (on an angle) from our dog's favorite pet store, Paws on Chicon. 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!

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!

This time the location was open and ready for business. It took me a minute to what to get and I ultimately decided on a lavender latte. I had questions before settling on it though like was it a syrup or liquid and would I taste the lavender. And it was a liquid and you could taste the lavender. I've had lavender lattes at other places and you just don't taste it and I'm glad I picked that. I also got a cheese kolache and it was ok. The meat in it tasted weird to me but I still ate it, but the bread it was wrapped up in was DELISH. Another plus was they validate parking, I don't know for how long because her dentist validated our parking. Inside it was very cute and pink and I like it. It wasn't overly pink but the right amount. There was plenty of seating both inside and outside but we choose to stand and wait for our food and drinks. I will definitely be back as long as my daughter goes to the dentist up here.
