First time at this Austin hot spot on Sunday morning. Ordered a (hot) latte and an almond croissant. $14+ with a $1.00 tip which I added to my counter order. First, the good. The venue is bright, clean, and although simply decorated, had a welcoming feel good vibe - must be all the pastel-like yellow. The women that took my order was friendly and efficient. The east to read electronic menu had great variety in terms of food, coffee, and other beverages. Packing was simple (and yellow, of course) but nicely done. And, the latte was tasty (good, nothing wow, however). The croissant was fresh, nicely flaky, and had a flavorful almond paste in the middle. Then, the not so good. The large latte seemed smallish and the croissant was quite small (perhaps tiny for a croissant). Alas, the price was high for what was provided to me foodwise and drinkwise. Will I go back. Yes. Why? Pleasant atmosphere and there were things on the menu I would like to try. Would I count on this place to fill me up at a reasonable price? ... to be continued. And the terrible? Parking. Pretty much non-existent unless I missed the sign for additional parking. Maybe 6-8 spaces? If there is a valet he/she wasn't around on my arrival. And, valet for picking up coffee and a pastry. Hmm.

La Land has officially opened on Burnet Road, and I had been watching with anticipation for weeks as the new coffee shop was being built. The bright yellow building is impossible to miss, standing squarely on the corner of 45th Street and Burnet Road. There's something about the color yellow that instantly evokes happiness, and La La Land embraces that feeling from the moment you arrive. As soon as I walked through the doors, I was greeted by an atmosphere filled with brightness, joy, and positivity. The cheerful décor creates a space that feels both welcoming and uplifting. Michelle, who was handing out orders, added to the experience by sharing positive affirmations with guests...a thoughtful touch I had never encountered in a coffee shop before. It was refreshing and perfectly aligned with the café's upbeat personality. Deciding what to order on my first visit proved to be challenging. After browsing the menu, I settled on a PSG Latte, a limited-time offering, along with two enormous chocolate chip cookies...one for the hubs and one for my visiting brother-in-law (though I secretly hoped they might share). Choosing the PSG Latte (espresso topped with cloud, salt and a mini croissant) turned out to be the perfect decision. Describing it as delicious is such an understatement...ice-cold, flavorful, and incredibly smooth with the mini croissant as a bonus. In fact, I briefly considered ordering a second one before my sensible side kicked in. The service was exceptional from beginning to end. My barista patiently explained the menu, pointed out the most popular lattes, and made me feel like I was the only customer in the shop. La La Land has clearly mastered customer service as an art form. La La Land is not only a movie anymore. Smile. There's an old saying that people may forget what you said, but they'll remember how you made them feel. That sentiment perfectly captures my experience here. Throughout my visit, I felt welcomed, appreciated, and genuinely happy. Pro tip: Parking is limited, so try to avoid peak hours. Also, they have a drive through, which is a little tricky to navigate.

Iced Espresso PSG Latte with mini croissant
Karla D.

As a huge fan of the original South Congress location, I had to check out the new spot on Burnet Road, and it completely delivers. They've brought that same stunning, Parisian-inspired decor and top-tier service, but this time with a super convenient drive-through. While the indoor seating is on the smaller side, the ample outdoor patio is perfect for hanging out. The real star of my visit, though, was the limited-edition iced PSG espresso latte; it is absolutely amazing. For anyone wondering, PSG stands for Paris Saint-Germain, a nod to the legendary French football club, and the drink definitely lives up to the name. It's also available in a matcha topping version too. Note: they've got several other locations like Dallas, San Antonio (love that one too), Houston, and more.

Matcha squared (large)
Leila L.

I stopped through for their soft opening, which meant drinks were 50% off! Their menu was a little confusing, as they only show one price but there's 3 sizes. Obviously I'm going to get large for 50% off! I got the matcha squared latte. Nice and creamy, but I do wish it was colder. I also got the avocado toast, strawberry toast, and almond croissant. The toasts were pretty filling, though I felt the bread was a little tough. I enjoyed both and the pastry I had later. It wasn't a fresh unfortunately by the time I got to eat it. The place is small, which is kind of surprising knowing the hype of this shop. There was a line but they tried to move it through quickly. Parking is small though so expect parking in the neighborhood. I thought the ordering method was a little inefficient. They got my name through the app (needed to sign up for the promo) but then I had to wait to the side to listen for my name which was a bit difficult given the music, noise, and lack of mic from the staff. My drink came out first but it took another 15-20 for the toast. Luckily I was able to grab a table inside but I had to leave my items unattended to make sure I could hear my food order.

tiramisu matcha latte
Tracey Z.

Stopped by for their soft opening because I was ecstatic to see another coffee shop open up in my neighborhood. Waited a while in line, but it was an efficient line. Got the tiramisu matcha, good balance of sweetness to the matcha. Overall, great shop, cute vibes.

Visited La La Land for the first time during soft opening. There was a line out the door but that's to be expected since drinks were 50% off. For that price, it was worth waiting. I ordered their matcha squared latte which has double shots of matcha. Definitely recommend for Matcha lovers. Matcha tasted good and the drink creamy. I also tried their Truffle Burrata Toast and their Strawberry Toast. The Burrata Toast was a savory avocado toast with a small kick from the chilis. It was my first time trying with chili oil and thought the combo was good. I would've preferred more herbs like cilantro (instead of using it as a garnish) to help add some bright flavors to the toast. It's still a nice light snack. The strawberry toast was refreshing and lightly sweet with the honey. The store itself is very cute. Definitely an Instagrammable spot with the yellow truck outside the yellow store. The staff were really friendly and energetic. Appreciate them helping to move the line as quick as they could.

Went to the soft opening and everything went great. There was a line, but to be expected. There is barely any parking, so plan on parking in the neighboring streets. There's limited indoor seating, but a nice patio.

Their Medium cup~

FINALLY Barely a noticeable line today, pretty sure it is a timing issue~ lots of hustle & bustle going on behind the counter, my drink was ready in less then 10 min. A nice observation is they have a person standing where the prepared drinks appear & he very loudly announcing your name & drink so there isn't a crowd waiting to get thru to get your drink Ordered the Lala Latte iced, tastes nice a bit sweet which I like plus I asked for whole milk they usually make it with no fat also offer in matcha opposed to espresso which is my preference Clearly this will be a neighborhood destination as parking IS HORRID!! one way in~one way out and maybe 4/5 sppaces total and if your on 35th headed towards Mopac you need to make a left turn all the time hoping the drivers waiting at the stoplight take pity on you to allow you to cross infront of them..... For sure it was worth stoppng in, and I wpuld stop again depending on yhe line & traffic conditions

Love the name/motto and grand opening event! I came across this opening and was pleasantly surprised by its theme and matcha products. 10/10 Keith Lee strawberry matcha. Super fun day and cafe!

Keith Lee Latte (strawberry on top)  Einspanner Matcha Latte  Cloud 9 Matcha Latte
Irene T.

Been looking for a matcha spot that's not overhyped and this place doesn't disappoint! My fav was Keith Lee Matcha (if you want strong matcha scent). This is their collab with Keith Lee made with double ceremonial matcha. There's a whole strawberry on top, so I thought it'd have some strawberry flavor going on, but it's actually just for looks! So good! The Eispenner was my second fave, super creamy! I wasn't a big fan of the Cloud 9 Matcha Latte. The strawberry foam kind of overpowered the matcha flavor. We placed our order ahead and just walked in for pickup, super quick. Staff was so sweet too, the girl helping us even asked if she pronounced my name right. Definitely giving this place a try if you're a matcha lover!

Banana cloud latte - Don't miss out!
Kim T.

Needed to see what the hype was all about and was not disappointed. Had the iced Banana Cloud Latte and it was delicious! The banana flavor with the cinnamon - amazing! In order to really know if this is a serious coffee spot, I also had a regular coffee with a splash of heavy cream. It was great - really hit the spot. I'll be back!

Haraz Coffee House is outstanding! From the time you walk in and smell their aromatic Yemeni coffee…read moreyou'll be hooked. They do an impressive assortment of drinks from Turkish, Saudi with Coffee, saffron, cardamom, Lattes, Pour Overs, French Press, Cold brew iced coffee and many other drinks! And did I mention their handmade desserts? Lots of choices. I decided on a Pistachio Latte and a slice of Pistachio cheesecake to compliment it. It was stupendous. The latte was perfectly delicious- creamy nutty not too sweet and just the perfect temperature. The cheese cake was decadent, sweet, creamy and just a perfect blend. So good! The Baristas were fun to watch create drinks, very precise, professional and caring about doing their best job. After we ordered we took a table and to our surprise, they delivered the drinks and desserts to our table. Very nice service and a charming and positive staff. I definitely recommend them and can't wait to go back for more!

Haraz The good:…read more Wonderful decor and ambiance, really spacious. Plenty of seating. Lots of sunlight. Tall ceilings. No annoying music, great for conversation. Open later than most coffee shops, especially in this deserted part of town. Varied drink menu, both caffeinated and not caffeinated, including refreshers. Nice creative variety of desserts (including a Biscoff cake!) and a kolaches case. At one point the brought some hot baked dessert (looked like a whole coffee cake) out the oven and it smelled like heaven. The bad: Nothing vegan or healthy, not even pre-made cold sandwiches or packaged salads. If you are a little peckish for a healthy snack, this is not the place. The coffees: They have all the regular espresso drinks, and also Turkish coffee and of course Yemeni, their specialty. I had heard great things about Yemeni coffee and was exciting to try it. My first drink, a traditional coffee drink called Jubani ($6) contained coffee but was watery like a tea. It had also ginger and cinnamon. I was not expecting it to be like a tea. I immediately told the cashier I didn't like the drink and would like just an Americano, double shot espresso. I was charged $9 for a 12 oz cup. No cream or sugar, no added flavorings. If I were in charge I wouldn't have charged for this second drink, since it comes at almost zero cost to them and would show good faith and ensure repeat business. Disappointingly, the Americano was also watery and sort of "lemony", but I still drank half while sitting with my friend. I'll say that my friend had some sort of an iced latte that she enjoyed. I might try a second visit and order a Turkish coffee, but I will make sure to have had a full meal before.

While exploring the many museums across the University of Texas campus, a quick caffeine break was needed for my girlfriend and we were overwhelmed by the number of options on The Drag. It makes sense that there are plenty of places to choose from because of the large number of UT students. Everyone needs a little coffee in their lives. One of the highest reviewed ones with a large pool of ratings was Lucky Lab Coffee and after checking a few quick reviews, we decided to give it a chance. Lucky Lab has five locations in Austin (four on campus) and one location in Dripping Springs. The one we were at off The Drag was their flagship. This location serves a little bit of everything from sandwiches to pastries, salad to quiche, and of course, coffee. As we walked inside the flagship, it is easy to notice how tight the space is. There is very little seating inside at their bar, but they make up for it with plenty of shaded outdoor space that is perfect for a nice day. Scanning their menu, we landed on some drinks from their winter menu. I was intrigued by their Pomegranate Rosemary Latte while my girlfriend tried their Ginger Spice Mocha. We got them both iced. First, it is interesting to see the fusion of pomegranate and rosemary in a latte. I was intrigued by those flavors. Their drink sizes are 12 oz, 16 oz, and 20 oz, each adding an additional 50 cents to each upgrade. All milk alternatives cost 1 dollar. It was only a short wait to get our coffees and the cup with the little lab on it was cute. I think specialty drinks have an opportunity to be amazing and one of a kind or the worst drink imaginable. This pomegranate rosemary latte did not fall into either category exactly, but leaned more toward the latter. I love pomegranates and I always appreciate how earthy rosemary can be in a coffee. One of my favorite lattes I have ever had has rosemary in it. This was just not working for me. I shamefully did not finish my coffee. As for my girlfriend, she did not like her ginger spice mocha. I could not imagine gingerbread syrup not working in a mocha, but after trying it myself it was not for me either. It seems like a perfect match, but here the gingerbread is competing with the chocolate and instead of complementing each other they clash. She told me that the flavors were "un-mocha like". She drank less than half of her coffee before tossing it as well. Neither of us wanted to dislike Lucky Lab. They seem well established and I felt like they were trustworthy based on reviews, but I wonder what these previous reviewers were tweaking on or what magical concoction of coffee granted from heaven above they were sipping on because we were distraught by how disappointing these drinks were. I would like to give Lucky Lab Coffee Co the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe the specialty drinks were not up to par with their traditional beverages. However, the almost 30 different syrup options on their wall make me feel they lack a little focus and try too hard to stand out. They lose what makes a coffee good, which is coffee. I want to say I will give them a second shot in the future to see if it was just an off day or a bad beverage pick. Too many shots turns a Lucky Lab into Old Yeller. The lab needs to be put on a leash before I think about returning. RIYL: options

Came to Simona's with some coworkers for happy hour and was not disappointed! This place is behind…read morethe Colton hotel off Congress ave. 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.

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.
