    banana latte
    Stephanie P.

    Save yourself the time and order ahead. I have been hearing about this place for quite some time and thought I would give it time for the hype to die down- well it's about a year or more later and the place is still packed. Staff was working hard to keep things moving. Very moderen inside and out. Lots of unique options. I tried the banana latte which I thought would be more banana flavor but it really just tasted like a sweetened latte- only caught the banana flavor towards the end of my drink. Will definitely be back by to try more options!

    When this first opened as Austin's original La La Land location, the hype was absolutely wild. I waited a few months for things to settle down before stopping by on a weekday morning to grab a matcha, and it tasted exactly how I remembered it from Dallas. The drinks are consistent, the flavors are fun, and the interior has the same bright, aesthetic feel the brand is known for. The only difference I noticed was the service. Compared with the Dallas locations, the staff here didn't seem to bring the same upbeat "La La Land" energy. They can also be pretty quiet when calling out finished drinks, so you may need to keep an eye on the counter to make sure you don't miss yours.

    Oh La La Land. It's the perfect visual for the new Soco in the post COVID era. As a former Soco resident, corporate branding and social media pop ups seem to thrive in this area. Long gone are the mom and pop shops, but there are plenty of coffee shops to grab a quick drink. Unfortunately, La La Land is not one of those. I tried 2 drinks and while the drinks were tasty--they were definitely on the sweeter side. If you don't want your coffee to taste like coffee, this is a happy medium. The drinks however, were in no way worth the one hour wait. It happened to be an extra hot day and while I avoided having to line up for a drink outside, the wait inside was just as crowded, humid, and miserable. I was excited to only be third in line yet somehow I still waited just a little over an hour for 2 drinks. Had I known how long the drinks were going to take, I wouldn't have ordered. It seems that even the people ordering ahead were waiting for what seemed like unreasonable amounts of time. This is in no way shade to the employees working there. They were super friendly and seemed to be working expeditiously despite the line outside of the building. I genuinely think they need a bigger location if people continue to order drinks as they have been. I know it's a good sign of business to have a line outside of the door, but it's generally a bad sign of business to expect your customers to wait more than an hour for a couple of drinks. Luckily, it's SOCO and plenty of treats and things are nearby. We were able to temporarily escape to the gelato shop nearby, which was surprisingly empty and had really cool A/C. If you are tempted to buy a drink, I'd recommend ordering plenty ahead OR avoiding ordering on the weekend entirely. I can't imagine waiting outside in the Austin heat during this time of year.

    I placed an order via UberEats as they were just added and it was amazing. Unfortunately, I haven't tried visiting a location in person because of the lines. I ordered the banana cloud latte, the truffle burrata toast with chili oil, and the chicken sausage cheese sandwich. I'm truly amazing at the packaging and the attention to detail provided by the employees at this location. It truly put a smile on my face!

    It's so cute! I want to go back and try their other fun flavors and food. The guy working the cash register was grumpy and seemed like he hated his job though...

    Very sweet experience (twice) - they were closing but allowed me and a friend to buy some quick merch for friends back home! Then I made sure to doordash the Banana Cloud Latte the next morning! It was soooooo good!

    La La Land has a great selection of drinks so there's always something I want to try. We came on a Saturday evening and they took forever to make our drinks, so just be prepared for a wait if you're heading there on a weekend. We ordered a large iced Cookies n Dream Latte with espresso ($6.80), oat milk ($0.85), and the dairy free cloud to share and it was honestly better than I expected. The top is finished with crumbled Oreo cookies that add a satisfying little crunch to every sip. The sweetness was spot on too so it was a well-balanced drink.

    I wanted to hate this place bc of all the hype, but the matcha and latte we got were both delicious. The cups are cute, and the straws are heart shaped (?! Adorable). The workers are all super sweet, they say love you bye when you leave which is also super cute.

    Iced banana pudding matcha

    Delicious! We asked for the baristas rec and she told us the banana pudding matcha. I had never had matcha before and it was delicious!! We craved it the rest of our trip haha.

    They say we spend most of our lives waiting and this is in fact the case here. I thought the hype would have died down by now but boy was I wrong. If you don't mind waiting to get into the store, then waiting in line to order your drink, and then waiting in another line to grab your drink this might be worth trying for you. They do have online ordering but if you're far enough at the back of the line, you wont see the sign until you're closer to the front of the line. All of the waiting and crowds for sure took away from the experience for me. The store inside is nice and bright with yellow and white and merch but the atmosphere itself isn't warm at all due to the busyness of the establishment and the employees being preoccupied. Even if you wanted to pop a squat and enjoy your coffee there, you'd need to fight for a table. Music was playing but I feel like something else is needed as far as entertainment during the dreadful wait. I ordered a Strawberry Chai Cloud Latte with vanilla in a size small because I wasnt sure what to expect. I'm typically a vanilla chai girl so some strawberry wouldn't hurt. After the first swig or two, I was kind of upset with myself because it was actually good! I should've went all in and got the bigger size especially after such a long wait. The cups themself appear to be reusable with little heart shaped straws but I didn't keep mine. You can also grab a free reusable bag on your way out. Was it worth the wait? Will I return again? Maybe on a cold day when a hot drink is really needed and everyone is home.

    Ok I completely understand the hype. My husband and I went this past Saturday prior to the deep freeze thinking since most people were probably hibernating this would be the best time to check it out. There was only a line of 3 people when we went so we made the right call. The shop itself is very aesthetically pleasing - beautiful chandeliers, open glass, and modern arches everywhere. Plenty of chairs to hang out though wouldn't recommend as a place to study as even the day we went it was pretty crowded and most seats were taken. I got the banana cloud matcha and oh man the matcha was smooth, the banana cloud had just the right amount of creamy texture without being overly sweet and definitely is banana flavored. Note most of their matcha drinks are iced and I was worried that it would water down the flavor of the drink, but it did not. My husband got a special off the January menu the chai and was impressed as he said it wasn't overly sweet and spiced well. They do offer bakery items though we didn't try any. Parking wise no real free parking unless you come before the meters start. Otherwise it's all paid street parking.

    This is my third city where I've been to La La Land, and once again, I really enjoyed it. Long lines are expected at La La Land, but ordering online definitely helps. This time around, I had their Lavendar Matcha latte, and I enjoyed it like the other matcha I've had here!

    This place is 2 days from being a year old, and it will be known as a legendary shop soon, you…read moreshould go try the best Hanoi style egg coffee in the world before the lines become hours-long influencer feats. I mean the world, these guys aren't serving the $1.45 OG from Cafe Giang, they aren't even serving the version from Loading T, they're serving the single most luxurious premium version of what Loading T did to the Giang OG: this is the definitive version of egg coffee in the world, anyone who disagrees can fight me. This drink is so spectacular it elevates it beyond a mere delicious curiosity into a universally perfect drink. In 2-5 years every specialty coffee shop will likely be copying this as it becomes trendy. If you want to be a cool kid and drink some of the best coffee on the planet before that inevitable blow up, GO NOW! Pro tip: the gorgeous egg foam can be refreshed with an espresso shot if you choose (for extra $$ of course( so you can savor every bit of it!

Compared to Caphein, Dam has a more relaxed vibe with additional seating, which makes it a great place to hang out or get some work done. I noticed it's also a popular study spot for students, so a few extra outlets would be a nice touch. That aside, every matcha I've ordered here has been amazing in both flavor and consistency. The matcha taste actually comes through, and the drinks never feel too watered down or overly sweet. Overall, Dam is easily staying at the top of my Austin matcha list and is a spot I'd keep coming back to.

There is a parking lot that you can get validation for 2 hrs free, but after that you will be charged. Overall though, it's totally worth a visit! The bartenders are really friendly, the bathrooms are immaculate, and the inside of the place is really cute -- think kinda pink vintage? There are some tables, and big comfy couches around a coffee table in the middle of the bar which is where we sat. I had one of their happy hour cocktails that was similar to a creamy espresso martini, and they are 50% off on happy hour days/times! My friend got one of their floral cocktails which wasn't discounted but I LOVED it personally. I also got a strawberry matcha drink (non alcoholic) that was a little too sweet in my opinion; I finished it but wouldn't get it again. Overall though the cocktails and vibe in there are worth a visit alone! When it's not too hot, the area outside has little mini-chandeliers and is also very vibey.
