As the other coffee shops close throughout west campus (rip creamy whiskers & medici), Lucky Lab remains one of the only independent coffee shops left here. It's a pretty good one. I love their sweet cream lattes and they also offer fun seasonal drinks too. It's pretty small inside (closed right now because of COVID) so it's not a sit-and-study type place, but it's good for a grab and go. read more

I seriously love Lucky Lab. This little coffee shop is tucked away behind Space 24 Twenty and it's the perfect respite from the bustle of UT. Their coffee is rich and smooth, and their bakery items are delicious and made on site. While inside seating is sparse, there are plentiful outdoor tables. Also, if it's tight inside, just order from the window on the patio. Friendly, kind staff and a frequent-drinker punch card really put Lucky Lab over the top in taste, quality, and service. read more

Love, love this place! I go every time I visit Austin! Great coffee and baked goods!!

Lucky Lab Coffee has some of the worst-tasting coffee on the west campus (UT dining included). The quality of the coffees and additive flavors are lacking and often disappointing, especially considering the prices. The food is limited and can be stale. The coffee is weak and watered down. "Never do profit shares with them; they might stiff you and give the worst profit share deals without warning customers that if you do not have enough dollars in the transaction to qualify for a purchase, that would go to your fundraiser. Working with them and trying to earn their money can be like pulling teeth from a rusty pair of pliers." --An Anonymous friend The staff do their best and genuinely care for the customers. The Shared Outdoor space is lovely, although it could have more shade and power cords if I were picky. All together it could greatly be improved. I have been an off-and-on customer of Luckylab for about three years and found it disappointing almost every time. The management and the direction they continue is the genuine problem. New beans, more shade, better food options, and more amicable relations, especially with nonprofits. read more

Great place for the vibes . Drinks are favorable just on the high end pricing. Food options are limited. Seating indoor could be more accommodating . Overall it's a place to enjoy a coffee and not the flights, might as well by all 4 drinks that's end up being the same pricing. read more

This joint is close to the UT campus situated in an old wooden house. It's more then just coffee as food is served; made obviously by the huge brick oven visible to the clientele. It's a got a cool campus vibe, like students, profs and anybody else can hang there for a cup of Joe or a bite to eat. They maximize the space with an elongated counter and some tables as well as outdoor seating. I did t eat, but I did have one if there signature seasonal lattes as it was freezing outside. If your on or by the UT campus, drop by and grab a cup of good coffee. read more

I love the Hot Chocolate! Lucky Lab is super cute and has a ton of table space which makes it great for doing work. The prices are pretty reasonable. Hot Chocolate // - great chocolate ratio - good amount of foam Atmosphere // - lots of table space - tons of tables - natural light - quiet, great for studying read more

Great food and coffee. Had some brought in for work. Can't wait to go and have another cup in the future.

Love this place! I've been coming here for months now and I've never had a bad experience. The iced matcha latte is probably the best I've had since I moved back to Austin at the beginning of the year. It's unsweetened, and I can't really have much sugar so it allows me to put sweet n low in it and control the sweetness. The quiches and hand pies are delicious, definitely recommend. Plus there's always dogs around, which is really fun. read more

Absolutley delicious (sometimes). I love Lucky Lab's lavendar matcha. Although Yelp marks the place as two $$, I don't think that it's on the pricy end at all. I got a large, and with the add-on lavendar syrup, it was $6.50. Obviously, it wasn't Venti Starbucks large, but it was still a decent serving that lasted me all day. The only downside I would say is that in my multiple visits to Lucky Lab, the taste of the lavendar matcha was rather different. The first time it was heavenly, and I felt my toes curling every time I took a sip; the second one was a little too sweet, and the remainder seemed to either be a little too much or too little sweetener. It's honestly the consistency of the taste that dropped it to 4 stars. Service is really fast; I went here at rush hour, and when it was slow, I didn't ever wait longer than 7 minutes. As for the ambiance, it feels like it's more of a grab-and-go place. It's not like you can't work in there, but the seating is comparatively more limited to other coffee shops. read more

Good quality, nice atmosphere and services. Their coupon is really helpful for students. Also have a delicious bakery's!!! read more

What a cute coffee shop! We were staying near campus and found this place. It has a really cute back patio with corn hole, tables, string lights, etc. we sat outside and enjoyed the nice Texas weather. I had the strawberry rose cold brew. It was ok but I wish I had time to go back and try other things because a lot of the drinks looked amazing! We also split a Nutella banana hand pie which was to die for. We had a great experience here. read more

I wish this could be my neighborhood coffee spot! I visited Lucky Lab twice while in Austin and I loved everything about it. The courtyard is fantastic, the artisanal croissant was perfection and my beverages were made just the way I asked! 10/10 recommend! read more

Great study spot and quick coffee stop on the way to class. I usually get a black drip coffee on my way to class, and it's always great and tastes freshly brewed. They have cool seasonal flavors and some signature syrups. There's an entrance on San Antonio St and you can walk through the outdoor space to the Drag, so it's super easy to stop by on the walk to campus. The big outdoor space adjacent to the shop is always lively and full of students studying and meeting. They have treats if you bring your pup! read more

I love Lucky Lab! They make really good coffee, sell breakfast tacos, and support dog rescue organizations. I usually order one of their seasonal lattes. They are always very nicely crafted and not too sweet. The main brick-and-mortar shop is located near the back of the Space 24 Twenty courtyard (behind Urban Outfitters). The space inside isn't huge; bar seating is the majority of the seats...but it is cozy and bright. For groups, you can sit outside in their shaded patio. read more

Walked in on a rainy day and loved their merchandise, and the style of the place. It's clean and bright. I got a vanilla latte, nothing crazy. I think the coffee wasn't strong enough which resulted in kind of a watery, bland drink. The vanilla flavor was muted. Not sure what all went on, just not a great drink. I will go back once more bc it was neat, and close by my office. read more

Stopped by after my workout in west campus, and I def wasn't disappointed. I was skeptical at first bcuz my friends said the coffee usually tastes watered down, but my 12oz oat latte w/ caramel syrup tasted amazinggg. Perfect amount of roast flavor and not too sweet. read more

Lucky Lab Coffee - 12oz oat latte w/ caramel syrup - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

I stopped by Lucky Lab on a Sunday morning to grab a couple lattes and some at home provisions that I saw online. There is a very nice outdoor area for enjoying your coffee and it is dog friendly. I ordered the seasonal rosemary whiskey and longhorn brûlée lattes and got some cold brew and lavender syrup to take home. I love when shops make their own syrups in house, so I was excited to try a few. The staff was very friendly and I got my coffees in under 5 mins. The rosemary whiskey latte had a wonderful flavor and wasn't that sweet at all. The longhorn brûlée latte had a great orange nutty flavor and still wasn't too sweet (which I was a little nervous about with the name). I would highly recommend this shop and will definitely be back! read more

I got the Honey Oat Latte off their fall menu and it was delicious. My friend also ordered the same drink but hers had noticeably more oat milk and less coffee, probably due to different baristas, but if you are looking for a caffeine fix this might be an issue. I also got the zucchini bread and it was really yummy, especially toasted. There is not much seating inside, I counted around 8 seats with counter top spaces large enough for a laptop. There is plenty of seating outside. read more

Got their seasonal Thai brew and it was superb! The place is kind of busy so it may be hard to find seating with an outlet and the WiFi isn't great but overall vibes and my iced drink was great. read more

Stop by the outdoor coffee shack named THE LUCKY LAB COFFEE by the University of Texas campus for my morning Java infusion. I found this place in a courtyard of other food trucks, but they served the elixir of everyone's morning need including mine. Lets face it I need my fix so I ordered a 16oz americano with room. Well, the barista filled it to the brim ughhhhh. But I Doctor it up and sit down in the courtyard to enjoy my Java. Honestly this was really a weak coffee. No strong kick or strong ever taste most americano's have. The entire point it to get a caffeine high from pure shots of caffeine . I have a feeling they got cheap and only drop one espresso shot as opposed to 3 shots most vendors put into a tasty beverage. Needless to say I was not pleased and will not give a coveted Frank Booth thumbs up..... read more

The coffee is good, but indoor seating is basically nonexistent. They've got a window for service so if you just need to grab a caffeine fix before heading off to your study session elsewhere on campus, it's great; likewise, if it's not 95°+ out, you might enjoy the ample outdoor seating (some of which is even shaded!).The food selection when I visited in the early afternoon was limited. I got a strawberry hand pie and the pastry dough was pretty limp after heating up; I wish it had had some of that crisp crunch to it still! On the parking note, there's street parking, and the building is right next to both a garage and a parking lot, but I think maybe that parking lot is one you need to pay for? I parked in one of the lot spaces right up against the coffee shop and didn't get ticketed or towed, but I was also only there for like an hour.‍ read more

This is my all time favorite coffee spot in Austin but it is not easy to drive to because it is nestled by the IT campus. They have the best homemade pop tarts though. read more

Started the day off here and the aroma of the cafe was delightful! They had a nice seasonal selection which most of us chose our drinks from. They have bar seating so you can watch them make your drink. If we had more time this would have been such a good place to just relax and chill with a cup of coffee. read more

I want to give this place a 3.5..for a place that seems to specialize in coffee I just expected more. COFFEE: meh. Just ok, a hint of cream flavor was there with a hint of lavender, I could barely taste any coffee, it seemed pretty watered down. My friend had the Thai tea coffee and had the exact same complaint unfortunately..watered down. PASTRIES: That Peach bourbon pop tart was pretty dern good. If you like peach jam you would love this soft flaky take on a pop tart. LOCATION: Definitely made up for the coffee. There was a cool event going on right next to it when I went, with singing and poetry. Plenty of outside seating, can order inside or from a window outside. read more

First thing I do on every business trip is check Yelp for hella good coffee as hotel/ conference coffee is always dreck. This is right off of Guadalupe street & featured a spacious and clean outdoor seating area. It was 76 degrees on a winter day- fabulous day to enjoy a cortado & pastry outdoors. Pastry was goat cheese & salami- tasted fresh despite my being there last hour of the day. Friendly staff, strong coffee, house pastries- will be back! read more

Lucky Lab Coffee - Goat cheese & salami pastry & cortado - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Fantastic service! As a coffee enthusiast I am very surprised that I never saw this place before. Located just off Guadalupe.

Came here super early on a Tuesday morning around 7 AM and it was pretty empty (also since it was summer). I took a while to order because I couldn't decide what to get. The barista was super nice and told me to take my time and then explained all the seasonal coffees to me. I ended up ordering the Thai Brew with coconut milk and also a coffee cake muffin. The Thai Brew was really good. It's an infusion of black tea and cold brew. I don't think I've had anything quite like it. The coffee cake was also good. It was a bit crumbly though and I wish I had asked for it to be heated up. I would definitely come back again next time! The staff is super nice and the coffee and pastries are really good! read more

(1.75) Continuing my journey to try new coffee shop in Austin! FOOD// I ordered a vanilla latte, which was too water down. I could not finish my latte because I felt like I was drinking americano with more water and milk. Also, I had huge stomache and headache that evening - which I'm not blaming the latte for, but putting it out there. SERVICE// They never called my name or perhaps completely off name because I was standing right by the side where they bring out the drink and I did not hear my name (or similar sound). So, my latte was sitting there for solid 5 minutes. ATMOSPHERE// Very small, but doable spot for west campus (in UT Austin) for people to study/chill. I went during the final szn; so, the place was terribly filled with people in every corner. SURROUNDING// West Campus/Guadalupe St game too real. read more

I got the honey oat latte. It's a latte with honey and oat milk. I honestly just tasted the oat milk. It was good and great for the cold weather but the oat milk masks the taste of the coffee and honey. The cookies they sell taste very good too and they make all of their pastries in house. Only complaint is that I wish there was more indoor seating. It's a great place to catch up with friends and do some work. read more

One of the friendliest, happiest and adorable coffee shops in Austin!! Everyone who works here has adopted the personality of a Lab Puppy. These sweet folks are so willing to please plus they wag their tails constantly. Love that they have treats for your pup. Really enjoyed my Cappuccino with an extra shot! Could have walked the 5 miles home on Mopac from all that caffeinated energy. Inside seating and a gorgeous outdoor space that could seriously hold 100 folks! Take a gander at all the Lucky Lab tees, bags and mugs for sale. Wish they had Labs to smooch and snuggle with on the patio! Maybe next time. read more

Great coffee shop in the West Campus area. It's right around the corner from Starbucks, but the coffee is 10x better, and it is also cheaper. There is a tiny seating area in the actual coffee shop, but lots of outdoor seating as it is a part of Urban Outfitter's space 24. So if it's cold it's not that awesome to sip coffee there. They have lots of seasonal drinks but they sometimes run out of stuff so things are off the menu. They also offer baked goods. On the bakery side of the shop, you can see the baker actually hand making all the treats. That way you know that they're all hand made! The also have a punch card so you can have a free drink at the end of finishing 10 punches. You can also combined cards if you have many of them for the free drink. Theres no parking on site so you'll have to pay to park. We ordered a mocha and a black drip. Both of them were so well made and the coffee doesn't have that bitter flavor that you wouldn't like. They offer almond milk too for those who prefer that (I do!). read more

I love this place! The coffee is great, the food is delicious, and the staff is so kind.

The moment I opened the door, I was welcomed with the sweet smell of pastries. My friends and I originally wanted to go there for just coffee to start our day, but the moment we walked in, we knew we had to get something to eat. I got their white chocolate mint chocolate brownie and my friend got their biscotti. The white chocolate mint brownie was moist and breaks apart very easily. It is the perfect pastry to eat along with your cup of coffee. My friend dipped her biscotti in her coffee and she really enjoyed that too. One thing that I wish they did was to heat up their brownies because that would have made my already great experience even better. Another thing I wish I did was to get their scones because they look so good. Next time when I come back, I know what I need to order. read more
