A cute little spot on 2nd Street downtown with lots of indoor seating and a nice sidewalk area in front to sit at tables. The latte was hot and made quickly while I waited- the barista free handed a "silly face" and handed it to me with a smile. I ordered a migas breakfast taco for an afternoon snack excited to see they serve breakfast until 3pm. While it had good flavor, the taco had clearly been sitting all day so the cheese had darkened and stuck to the sides and the tortilla was a little sticky from the moisture. I'd definitely go back for coffee and maybe earlier in the day for tacos- good value for Austin too- the taco was $4.50 as was the latte. read more

One thing I do when I go outta town, I gotta see if the coffee scene is right. I definitely needed a pick me up & while shopping, this spot popped-up while walking & I already had a cold brew in mind. I went with the Iced Turbo, one of their signature drinks. I like to switch it up when I'm out of town (I usually go black with honey), with this selection the coffee came with chocolate & hazelnut. Only comes in two sizes: small (around 8oz) & large (around 10-12oz), glad I went with the large. The pastries weren't on deck till the next day (prepared ahead), the muffins they had to offer, I'd come back for them. Outside of that, a day after I left, I took a look at the full menu & I'd like to come back to get the whole experience. read more

We were walking around on the strip and the first stop was to Jo's. We got the Belgian Coffee, Spumoni, and the Hibiscus Lemonade. All were good. I liked that we could choose alternatives to milk and I really appreciated that the hibiscus lemonade wasn't sweet like most lemonades out daughter cannot tolerate high amounts if sugar so it was really nice to be able to order a drink that she could try and that isn't loaded with sugar. There was a menu with breakfast burritos and food but we didn't partake. read more

Absolutely horrible experience March 23rd, 2024 Ordered our food and waited twenty minutes for the server to come by and tell us they messed up our order but they were redoing it. (Fine. Things happen) My friend's egg sandwich arrives with a runny egg when he specifically asked for it over hard. Fine. Ten minutes later the egg sandwich arrives and we ask about the rest of our order They didn't even start the food for the other two people at the table. Did they seriously think that two people were going to watch the first eat alone? At this point it's not fine with me. So disappointed ruined the entire morning. If I could give the service here zero stars I would. Avoid this place unless you have an entire morning to waste read more

Popped in here to get warm one morning of SXSW. I've been to the Jo's in the airport and also the one near Commodore Perry's. This was the first time I have had the food though, and I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner! I got the breakfast hammie sandwich and it was great. The sourdough was just perfectly sweet and the runny egg made a great dip! I out some yellow bird hot sauce on it which just put it over the top. The Belgian Bomber is my go to drink, love anything that can spice up my usual cold brew. Though the seasonal Cowboy Cookie Cold Brew looked mighty tempting! My only qualm is they just load the drinks up with SO much ice. It's the nice crushed ice, but whenever I finish my drink it's a little disappointing to see that it was 80% full of ice. read more

Started off poorly when they ran out of cold brew (which... how?) and got an iced turbo instead which was very disappointing and just tasted like chocolate milk.

Seems pricey for adding syrups and alternative milk. The coffee is mediocre and prefer other coffee shops in the area over this place. Overall, would not recommend and was disappointing for coffee and customer service. Additional Notations: The place is like a old school diner. However the customer service was not there for me.

This place was super cute and VERY popular. We had coffee, breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwich, and a homemade pop tart. Our food was decently good, the salsas with he burrito were super tasty and the bacon I added was a key bonus. Breakfast sandwich was pretty good - basic. Honestly, the best part for my boyfriend was the handmade pop tart/hand pie. It was so good, flaky crust, tasty filling. It was so good, we tried to go back the next day only to find out they had sold out which sent us on a quest to find something similar nearby. Jo's is a staple in Austin and the one on South Congress is where you will find more food options and the I love you so much sign. Great experience overall! read more

That alone made it a great find, but what made the experience even better was discovering that they also had live entertainment on Tuesday night until 11.

I ordered a coffee and a brownie, and while the total was a little on the expensive side, around $15 or $16, it felt completely worth it to me. The quality was there, and everything felt a bit more gourmet than your average coffee shop stop. The brownie was delicious, the coffee was exactly what I wanted, and the overall atmosphere made the price feel justified. Between the free entertainment, the beautiful decor, and the location, it felt like much more than just paying for coffee and dessert. One of the best parts of the experience was the setting. Being right on the water made it especially beautiful at night. You can enjoy your drink, take a walk, look at the lights, and just soak in the scenery. It was the perfect place to unwind after a heavy meal and a long workday.

The staff was also very friendly, which added a lot to the experience. Good service always makes a difference, and here it made the place feel even more welcoming.

I came on a rainy Saturday and it was actually quite packed. The parking lot was pretty full too but I did find a spot. I tried one of their specialty/seasonal drinks (the blueberry latte) and it was quite good! Not my favorite latte I've ever had but I definitely enjoyed it. Was like $7 for a small. Overall the vibe inside tho is the biggest reason to visit. There's an industrial/artistic vibe, and a small garden shop inside so there are lots of plants and greenery. It's a very nice space to sit and study. If I lived closer I would visit more!

Had a pourover that was laughably bad. Lukewarm, under extracted, hardly any flavor, cost $6.50. My…read morefriend's espresso was good but not amazing. Aesthetics 10/10, coffee 2/10

(visited in Oct 2025- late review)…read more I'm so glad Austin is beginning to amp up their coffee scene, especially on the Asian-influenced side. I loved the aesthetic of this place, and their menu offered a good selection of coffee/matcha drinks. I got the matcha coco cloud (not pictured), and it was good. All of their matcha drinks are made-to-order which is another good sign. There was plenty of seating inside for groups up to 4, and a lot of people were studying/hanging out when I went. It was a little noisy given how crowded it was, so headphones are a must if you're looking for some quiet. Parking was not bad either since we parked in the garage close by, but it was limited to 30-mins max on the 1st floor, so I'm not sure where people who stay longer park.

UPDATE: many reviews mentioned 4 hour parking, but this is no longer true - it is 2 HOUR parking the with a fee of $10 afterword. Not ideal for a remote working location for more than a short break. Matcha was one of the more expensive in Austin but solid. Food was great (got the birria tacos which were SO tender, although I did have a slight stomach ache right after - maybe just the grease). Went on a Tues during the day and there were many people working upstairs (quietly), but available seats for 2 or 3 ppl downstairs.

Excellent spot and a little hidden away from the street side - it blends in with the hotel it's…read morepart of. The coffee shop is a large, high-ceiling room adjacent to the hotel lobby, with an upstairs and patio. Upstairs is the place to go, it is a well-decorated, library feeling room that is quiet enough to do some reading or work, but still a level where conversation would be okay. Coffee itself has been consistently high quality with a small assortment of baked/prepared goods as well.
