    A great place to bring your laptop and get a cup of coffee. Merit has many choices to choose from…read more I know I'm boring, so I got my Americano hot with no cream or sugar and of course the flavor of the beans was delightful. The service is excellent as well. I went to pick up some stickers for a my friend and I was able to get them. Thanks! And the coffee came out quickly. Thanks again! There is plenty of seating with lots of places to charge your laptop. There is also a big bulletin board that has a lot of information. The only negative thing is parking. I got a spot but because the parking lot is shared amongst several businesses and each putting up their own signs it is limited. There is a free parking garage a few hundred yards away, if you don't mind walking.

    I used to frequent this location, but now I come maybe four or five times a year. The staff has…read morejust become increasingly more unwelcoming. I get customer service jobs are difficult but all you have to do is smile and pretend that you enjoy your job and enjoy the guest-this is particularly important if you are the employee who is dealing with the customer head on. I had an experience here girl made me feel really uncomfortable for not promptly understanding how their credit card swiper works (my card has money on it, i just didn't see you had to pick the tip option first before moving forward with the transaction). She blatantly and painfully expressed her annoyance at my slowness. I choose to pay cash as opposed to using my card (it was easier in the moment). She dropped the change back in my hand like my hand was diseased. She did not say thank you or "have a good day", the normal, simple, easy yet soothing platitudes one shares in their position. I'm not sure if she is perpetually moody, miffed I did not tip, or just irritated by my incompetence. But either, this is disheartening, disappointing and unprofessional. This situation has permanently deterred me from a continued customer.

    I wish my 27 month little girls could write a review but she can't yet so I will write on her…read morebehalf, last Thursday after dinner I told her our plans for Friday morning, big mistake lol She thought I meant we were going to music and movement at the library in that moment!! That remind her of Marybeth, the teacher who does story time at the library, and she said "I miss her" "I want to see her" I tried to explain to her that I was talking about our activity for next day, I remind her about the central library but nope She wanted to go to the Howson library in that moment and see Marybeth lol "I lover her" she said and started crying... I can normally snap her out of anything, I got toys out, played music, I was being really silly but the two year old in her wanted Marybeth.... Well, what do you do?! Check if the library is open, drive there and pray MB is there or wait another 20 minute and see if your kid forgets about it?! I choose my battles and I got my car keys and we drove there in our sleepers looking like a hot mess lol Marybeth was there, I told her about Brynn's moment and She was so sweet to her!! We picked few books and Brynn was so happy!!! On the way home she said "I cried for MB" "I love her" Today, a week later she remember the story and said "remember I cried" "I miss her" I knew what she meant lol She asked me to sing the little red wagon and you are my sunshine like Marybeth. Well, with all that said I want to say thank you so much Marybeth for your extraordinary work, your amazing energy and your enthusiasm when sharing your songs with the kids, and reading those awesome books everywhere week! You are in Brynn's heart and that is priceless! We are so grateful for YOU. I been working with kids for 20 years and I know when a caregiver works with passion and joy! You are a very important person in our community and we love you!!

    Recently reopened after a second renovation, this library looks better than ever!…read more This was my go-to branch when I first moved to Austin.. Many, many years have now passed, and I've patronized most of the other library locations around the city. However, Howson will always have a special place in my heart. Even now whenever I step through its doors, it's like coming home again. The floor staff are always friendly and cheerful. The storytime specialist, Miss Devo, was a big hit with my children when they were younger. My children's first babysitter was the daughter of the (then) branch manager. Even after we moved away from West Campus, I still had our reserved books sent here, then made the longer drive to pick them up, just to have the excuse to visit. I'm constantly amazed at the selection and variety this little location has. Many times I've walked away with more stuff than from some of the larger branches. It's one of life's sweet mysteries.

    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.

    Honestly my experience here was kind of uncomfortable. I am…read morefrom out of town and came here alone to sit and read, but I ended up just getting it to go. The vibe of the place is cute, very gothic and quiet! I appreciated the fact it was a safe space for all genders/identities! The workers did vaguely make me feel uncomfortable and were dismissive. They took a while to actually ask me what I wanted even though I was the only person standing there, and were a bit snappy and judgmental. I got that "up down" look and some side eye between the two baristas....? I probably wouldn't come back here as my drink was also expensive and lackluster and the general experience made me feel kind of judged. I got the vibe I wasn't "cool" or "alt" looking enough to be treated with respect and given good service which is such a bummer bc it seemed like a cool place to just sit and hang out.
