Inside the resale wall
Jeff B.

Love the service! A nice place to stop in and grab a cup of Jo or to stop and fire-up your laptop. Plenty of tables and even chairs at the bar. The coffee options are great as well as the morning (breakfast) tacos and pastries. They are even tastier!

I was in the area and craving a coffee, so I stopped into Figure 8 after a quick Google search. There was someone ordering at the counter and 2 people sitting at a low table, but other than that, the place was empty. It was 8am, so this was perfect! I ordered a latte and a danish. I believe they get their pastries from Sour Duck, a bakery/restaurant on the East side. Both were delicious! I sat down at one of the 2-top tables by the wall, which had an outlet, and did some work while enjoying my drink and pastry. I looked around and was pleasantly surprised to see that most tables had outlets near them (which is rare!). There was free wifi (password: worththedrive) which made it easy to get some things done. The only thing I will note is that all of the seating options are pretty low to the ground, and the table I was sitting at was a bit lopsided/uneven, making it awkward to have my laptop, drink, and pastry in front of me. This wasn't too much of an issue, but worth noting nonetheless. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Classic blend espresso
Brad N.

Dropped in on our way into town, looking for an afternoon espresso pick me up. Our barista, Ryan, was on top of things and gave me the details on their two espresso choices, a more standard chocolate/caramel/nuts offering, and an Ethiopian fruit forward bean. I ordered one of each, and my wife opted for a pot of peppermint tea. Both espressos were served in proper servingware, with sparkling water. The classic was just a tad on the bitter side to my palate, but still good, with strong chocolate and "roasty" notes. The Ethiopian was right on, no bitter notes at all, and a delightful fruit finish. A bag of Peruvian beans I grabbed for later was only 10 days off roast and needs more rest, but was quite good as a pourver at the hotel. Great spot!

cappuccino, iced lavender latte

This is my second visit to a Figure 8 (last time I went to the other location in East Austin). This location seems like the newer branch of Figure 8. Compared to the other location, this branch is more contemporary with ample of clean seating. It was, however, a bit too dimly lit for my old eyes to comfortably do work. The parking situation here was easier as well. When we walked in, the barista greeted us and was very nice and fast. We ordered a cappuccino and an iced lavender latte. The drinks were good, but I could tell the beans weren't as fresh as my last visit. Although we didn't try any, there were a variety of pastries for sale. They also sell the day old ones at a discount.

Beautiful, simple coffee shop with some good options for tea! My husband has to stop at coffee shops when we travel. The barista was very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful! Definitely recommend!!

Inside

So glad there's a second location for Figure 8. I am a big fan of their east side shop and the chill vibe outdoor. This shop is in a mall along with some other businesses both food/non food. This place mostly has indoor seating and is not as airy or as large as their first location but lovely nevertheless. They have a few tables outside - perfect for a sunny winter/spring day and lots of tables inside with outlets. There is free wifi too. I had a matcha latte which tasted great. The barista was helpful and knowledgable. Would def recommend :)

Outside
Tayo F.

Not a bad place to have a business meeting or just camp out and study. I picked this spot off a whim because we were close and I wanted some good coffee. It was a bit pricey and for my taste but the ambiance made up for it so I was happy.

Oat latte
Bia S.

Really great new location! Same high quality coffee as the original spot in East Austin but with lots of comfortable indoor seating. They have a nice selection of espresso beverages and drip coffee as well as hot/iced teas, and a few bottled drinks (sparkling water, coconut water, prebiotic sodas, etc.). They also have a small assortment of delicious pastries, but they said they sell out pretty quickly every day. The space is small but they were able to fit a good amount of seating in so it's a great space to work. It's quiet enough that you can concentrate but can also have comfortable conversations. Also a huge shoutout to the baristas on staff. They were both incredibly friendly and kind, and provided great service (brought drinks to our table and were very quick to clean tables after guests left).

Seating options

I tagged along to my sister's coffee run (she has great taste), the cortado they made here was solid. The employees were nice and provided quick service. Vibes in here are great- love the aesthetic created by the various furniture. There's space for many different sized groups (from 1-8)!

Delicious hot latte
Mark C.

Stopped by this coffee shop in a very unassuming strip mall. The place was pretty cool and quiet. The two clerks were absolutely fantastic in helping me choose some beans to take home. I'm new to the whole pour over thing and they helped me navigate something new to try. I ordered a hot latte to drink there, it was really delicious! I was hoping to try some sort of pastry, but I guess I came too late and their offering were sparse. Definitely will be going back whenever I'm in area for my haircut.!

I was in Austin a few weeks ago to see some friends who live there now. When one of my friends and…read morehis wife found out where I was staying, they told me that the Air B&B I was staying in was close to Radio Rosewood, and that I should check them out. I did, and fortunately, Radio was walking distance from where I was staying. I prefer tea over coffee, and the black tea did absolute wonders for me. I loved that they offered a free refill on drinks, because that caffeine helped me stay alert and awake after some mild jet lag and for all the things I was looking forward to doing during the day. Since my friends had to work, I had time for myself during the day, and getting my caffeine fix helped me with the day. The place is not too loud, aside from customers placing orders and the drinks being made and the music playing. The staff was really helpful and friendly. I 100% recommend this place to anyone passing through Austin, moving to Austin, or whatever else.

We got there during happy hour, which runs daily from 3-6, and had the burger and fries along with the open-faced summer sando. Both were amazing- the burger was so good, and the summer sando was fresh, flavorful, and a nice lighter option. We also shared a bottle of rosé, which was perfect before heading to the show. They also have a really large outdoor patio, which gives the whole place such a relaxed, casual Austin feel and makes it a great spot to hang out when the weather is nice. I also love that they have an in-house bakery and make so much from scratch. Everything we had was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and we'll definitely be back.

Okay, so this is my updated review for Sour Duck! I went back with some friends for book club and…read moreeasily found parking in the small back lot! It was busy but I just got lucky. In the past you could show up and find a table outside! Sadly that is no longer the case there was a line wrapped around the door so there was a wait for both indoor and outdoor seating but once our names were on the list we were seated inside quickly. I ordered the happy hour burger which was $6, incredible price but I found the burger sauce to be overly sour! It needed some sweetness to balance it out. The fries were good but definitely over seasoned. The HONEY CAKE was incredible!!! Just a delicious fall day in a dessert. Cinnamon, fluffy whipped layers of cream, with crumble on top--PERFECTION. The sour dough loaf it was delicious too! Friend and I got it to go. I feel like the bread is fairly priced at $7 for a loaf. Service was much better this time around and although they were extremely busy my food and drink came out quickly. I ordered the Apple cinnamon daiquiri (tasted like an apple tini) $6 on HH! It's tiny and packs a PUNCH! I could only finish half of it but then again I'm a light weight so go try it for yourself! The kids are still an issue running around unsupervised but all around it was a very pleasant experience!

Cute neighborhood bookshop :)…read more Lots of community events for adults and kids. There's always something for everyone. They carry a lot of book titles and if they don't have it in store, you can order online as well. They also sell notebooks, cards, merch, and lots of knick knacks. Seating inside can be limited but there's lots of outdoor seating too. There's a parking lot across the street if the parking lot next door is full and they also have lots of neighborhood parking. Overall, great place to browse books, stationary, read, and grab a drink!

There was also a semi-small outdoor area that promoted or facilitated an area for people to converse. There was books on the inside and I must say... its like a more local, mini startup of a bookstore like FOX, Borders or Barnes and nobles. You have books and a coffee shop. They had some pastries and very little amount of edibles but the Dirty chai was wonderful! It was not so sweet where your teeth is about to decay with every sip! Although, it was still premixed with sugar... Now... The ambiance was lovely. It was a quiet kind of charm and, can be peaceful. In short, overall: Parking 3/5 Customer service: 5/5 Price: 3/5 Quality: 4/5 Grade: A Definitely worth a visit!
