I had the BLT croissant and the Dreamsicle Coffee. The BLTC held together so good and was well cooked and seasoned. The Dreamsicle coffee was so sweet and forfilling. The Ambience in both the dining area and bathroom was so full of art and charisma. I'm super excited about returning, my spouse also enjoyed his Ciabetta Breakfast Sandwhich and Iced Coffee. The sweet treats have not yet been tried but felt moist and looked delicious!

A great spot to check out in Austin.

It's a great place to catch up with friends, but it's also quiet enough to get some work done if you need a change of scenery. If you're stopping by, do yourself a favor and grab a breakfast sandwich or bagel from Casper's next door. The combination makes for a perfect morning.

She was going to snap the lids on before I could see, but I snagged them in time to have a look. This is yet another establishment with no dishwasher so everything will be in a paper or plastic cup, or a pastry bag. We also bought a pound of whole beans, and said goodbye to the nice ladies and left the warm and cozy room.

The place isn't small but given how busy it was, the place felt crammed but the line moved fast. The interior theme is fantastic and creates a really warm, inviting ambiance - a nice extension of patriotism carried from the State Capitol. It was a hot November day after long walks through the fair; we came for the cold brew and ice cream, and they did not disappoint. The cold brew is excellent--strong and smooth without much acidity. They carry Amy's ice cream and options were limit. Expect typical Amy's sweet ice cream. It was decent and nothing to rave home for. They have a wide variety of baked goods so you can guarantee to find something for everyone in all ages and with different taste buds.

It has changed quite a bit the outdoor seating is perfect for a remote work set up when the temperature is agreeable. Recently they've added a bit of a convenience store inside which is great for variety and to pick up things you need but the working space is a little more difficult to work with. As for the menu, they have a lot happening with mission burger making top tier vegetarian food! I love their coffee the honey latte is delicious and service is fast and friendly. It looks like the food menu is adding a little more and would love to go back and check it out

This is a review about the coffee and food aspect of Simona's…read more It is over priced. In terms of coffee, they are middle of the pack. There is much better coffee in austin. They have premium prices still. They sell pastries and they have a taco food truck connected to it. Both are still very much overpriced. I get it, they are inside a nice hotel and so they will charge a premium but at least have the quality match that.

I usually only go to coffee shops to work, but today, went on a coffee date with my dog instead. There's ground floor parking in the garage that's complimentary for two hours. I kept it simple with a vanilla latte. I noticed they had tacos at the bottom of the food menu, but at $13.25 for two tacos + an a la carte item, I decided to pass. Maybe my expectations were too high (as usual) because it's inside a hotel, but I was hoping for the kind of warm hospitality hotels are known for, but instead, the service felt a bit cold. It didn't exactly make me want to spend more money there. While sitting on the patio, I spotted the food truck outside and thought, "PERFECT. A food truck HAS to be cheaper. Take that Simona's!" I walked up to the window... only to find out it wasn't actually a separate food truck. It was just the pickup window. To order? I had to go back inside to Simona's and place my order with the delightful staff... I ended up ordering two Blue Migas tacos, and honestly, they were just... good, but nothing memorable. They tasted like your average breakfast tacos that you can find all over Austin for less. Despite loving how relaxing the outdoor patio is with its lucious greenery surrounding you and the beautiful French chairs and cafe tables, it's located right next to the hotel pool. If you're visiting on a summer afternoon, expect some extra noise with pool guests. If you're looking for a quiet coffee or a place to work, I'd recommend coming early in the morning instead.

Warning to those visiting around dusk in summer: during my last visit we were eaten alive by mosquitos. Other than that, love Radio. This location has three food trucks including one of my favorites, Shortwave Diner. Their smashburger and Reuben sandwiches with homemade fries are delicious. Radio also offers an amazing happy hour from 4 pm to close every Monday through Thursday. The hibiscus mojito is the perfect summer treat. This location has a great trivia on Tuesday nights too. I recommend it!

TLDR: Diluted iced drinks, bad parking, and minimal outlets…read more After coming to Radio/East a few times now, I hate to say it, but the iced drinks are just too diluted, and unfortunately, is the common theme for the other locations I've been to as well. Most recently, I tried the Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Chai Latte, and the Berry Crisp Latte. What I was hoping for were robust, unique, signature flavors, but left unsatiated, wanting better coffee/tea elsewhere. In addition to the diluted iced drinks, another common theme you'll find is an unproportionally large amount of outdoor seats to indoor and challenging parking, and for those who work remote, there's still an ongoing hunger games for outlets. On the plus sides, there are a few food truck options, most notably Veracruz and Wow Poke and occasionally will host a fun event and/or concert. Overall, I really want to love Radio, but the cons make it hard to justify becoming a regular.
