I really wanted to like this place because of the great reviews, but it was just okay. The seating area is a little awkward. I ordered the almond brown sugar latte, and it tasted watered down, overly sweet, and the almond syrup was overpowering. After seeing photos online, I asked if they served food. The staff initially said no, then pointed me toward the pastry case. I ended up getting a kolache, which could have been toasted longer because it was still doughy and slightly undercooked. The staff was friendly, but overall they weren't very helpful. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the hype. read more

Review #1,067 Posted on 6.10.26 We came here for our morning coffee on Monday June 8th while in town for my buddies 50th birthday bash. We were determined to try 3 different local spots, in 3 straight days while in town visiting. So far we missed day 1, so this place became our first coffee spot of the trip. This spot is a corner location with stairs leading up to the door right on a corner of South Congress. Most of the drinks I believe could come iced or hot. My mocha was good. They've also go plenty of space inside if you're with a few people or just there getting some work done on your own too. read more

My first time trying Manana in South Congress, the interior was beautiful. I got the Mango Sticky Rice Matcha Latte, it came out to about $9+ with just whole milk, quite expensive! The drink overall was decent, I couldn't really taste the matcha, the mango puree, nor the sticky rice. I like the coconut taste even though it was very subtle. You could only taste a hint of everything described, and overall the drink was pretty bland. I love the decorations and the space inside though, it was so clean and aesthetics. They also have tables for you to work and chill as well. read more

3.8/5 I checked out this matcha spot downtown and had a mixed experience. The mango sticky rice matcha honestly tasted more like a regular mango matcha, I didn't really get any of the sticky rice element. Didn't taste a drop of grain lol it was still decent overall and sweet enough for my taste (I do prefer my drinks on the sweeter side). The rose matcha wasn't really for me. It leaned too floral and was lighter on sweetness, which made it less enjoyable compared to the mango drink. Service was a bit disappointing. The staff didn't come across as very friendly. When I asked where napkins and straws were, the barista had a blank stare, just pointed without saying anything, and I had a similar experience with other questions. It felt a little unwelcoming. She was also very quiet and sometimes we couldn't hear when our drinks were called, other times, the drinks were just left on the counter without any name called at all. That said, it is a nice spot downtown with outdoor seating, which is a plus. I'd probably only come back if I'm already in the area//or my friends want to try, especially since parking downtown can be such a hassle. Otherwise, I'd likely choose other spots with better drinks and service. read more

Manana is tied for #1 coffee in Austin for me. Their seasonal lattes hit every time! However, in the most constructive feedback way possible, the cold brew smores drink sucks lol Only drink I have ever been disappointed with. Marshmallow topping on the cold drink just gets stiff and doesn't even absorb into the drink. When you go to drink it, the coffee just moves around the marshmallow fluff & spills on you lol. The drink needs some re-engineering. I love this place still though and will continue coming back. read more

Dear Yelp diary, hi. Hello. I missed you, have you missed me? My husband needed his caffeine fix because our local Starbucks decided to let go of everyone by our apartment so how did, *I -cue dramatic gay emphasis-*, his amazing parter fix this? We drove to Austin to see my bestfriend and find this adorable cafe. As soon as you walk in, you hear the hustle and bustle of a friendly and popular cafe. People are calling out names with their orders, which I truly appreciate, to not confuse any of their guests. Your nose is hit with a pleasant smell from breakfast tacos, to everything kolaches with cream cheese, to baked sweets. But let's be real, it's not just another cafe. It feels like home away from home. Everyone was sweet. The atmosphere? Delightful. So if you're visiting Austin and you're on Congress? Give them a shot. Don't forget to tip your baristas. They keep you alive and functioning. Xoxo. Entries of a Gaysian. read more

I was super excited to try the matcha latte here, but I was ultimately disappointed with my drink. I felt it had too much milk in its ratio to matcha. $7 is also quite a steep price to pay for a matcha latte that's not great. I did, however, very much enjoy their vegan chorizo taco. I wished their green salsa that came with it was spicy, though. It lacked any kick. Overall, this is a cute cafe and the service was great. I liked that they also had an outdoor space where you can sit down and eat on days when the weather is nice. As much as I didn't enjoy the matcha latte, I am definitely interested in coming back to try their pastries and their coffee. read more

Bruh. So overhyped come on now. I got the mango sticky rice matcha which was more than $10... there is NO reason for a drink to cost that much. Barely any flavor, I got maybe 3 grains of rice in my drink? And the mango flavoring at the bottom was such a thick consistency it was nearly impossible to mix it. Needed more mango, needed so much more of the cream on the top. I felt like the mango sticky rice was in the same room as me but not in my drink. Save your coin man, I was so disappointed. The matcha quality is there but I'm paying for the mango sticky rice part!! The seating area outside is cute and the entrance is a little hidden. And there were a lot of people working inside taking meetings so claim your table early. Overall, skip. read more

I hate to give such a low review I really do, but I came in for a London fog latte, and the one I received was the most watered down drink I've ever gotten from a coffee shop. I ordered it with lavender flavor and that was actually just about the only thing I could taste, the earl grey was almost completely absent and honestly while I sipped it, there were several times it just felt like I was drinking ice water :( my friend even commented when she saw the drink that it looked super watered down, and when I looked carefully she was right. Overall the fact that it was a cold beverage at all in the Texas summer heat has to count for something, plus the staff were very nice and the interior seemed nice for sitting/studying or hanging. But I came in only for a drink and left - and that drink was the most disappointing I've had from a coffee shop :( hopefully if I have a chance to try a drink again later it would be better. read more

Came on a Sunday morning around 11 am, waited for about 5-10 minutes to order and about 5 minutes to receive drinks. I ordered an iced latte with black sesame syrup and my partner ordered the mango sticky rice matcha. Overall, I think my latte has a nice flavor without being overpowering. My partner gave the matcha 8/10. I think it's worth the spot and can hold its own with the variety of coffee spots off SoCo. They offer both sparkling and flat water from a tap near the creamers and sugars. Seating is a bit limited inside so if looking for a place to work / stay, this may not be the best spot. read more

I tried the mango sticky rice matcha, and while I did taste the coconut milk and mango, I could not taste the matcha. Just by initial looks, the color of the matcha did not look promising. The drink was 85% milk. My sister ordered the regular matcha, but it was also way too milky and watered down. I wouldn't recommend getting matcha here. Prices are steep. Maybe the coffee is better, but I didn't get to try. The employees were friendly. The inside is on the smaller side with limited seating. We street parked. read more

Rating: 3.9/5 The mango sticky rice matcha was so good, I brought my husband here to try it the following weekend. We came on a Saturday around noon, and there was only 1 party in front of us. Mango Sticky Rice Matcha ($8) + Earl Grey Oat Milk ($2) + 2ml CBD ($4): This was an expensive concoction my husband wanted to try, so he drank most of it. I didn't really taste the Earl Grey Oat Milk while he couldn't really taste the mango puree. We both tasted the CBD oil which needed to be constantly stirred or it will settle at the bottom (thanks for the tip barista!) Personally, I prefer the original version without all the add-ons -- the extras felt a bit distracting. That said, it was still better than the Peach Blossom Arnold Palmer. Peach Blossom Arnold Palmer ($6.25): A lemonade Arnold Palmer made with peach blossom white tea. The flavors were subtle but true to the description. You get a hint of tartness from the lemonade at the top, followed by a light, refreshing peach blossom tea. It was okay, but tasted more like a lightly flavored tea -- not worth the price in my opinion. My husband wasn't a fan either. read more

Popped into Mañana for a mid-morning caffeine break while wandering SoCo. Atmosphere: Bright, clean, and very "South Congress hotel lobby meets minimalist café." Big windows, marble/stone touches, and a steady hum from folks typing away. Seating is limited at peak (lots of laptop campers), but if you time it between rushes, it's an easy place to linger. Music sits in the background--present but not shouty. Food & Drink: Went for one of their limited specials, mango sticky rice matcha . Mango, matcha, and sticky rice what's not to like. Solid drink when in the mood for something to wake yourself up while having cravings for mango or matcha. Service: Counter order, quick, and friendly. Even with a line, they kept things moving and drinks landed fast. Good about clarifying sweetness levels and milk swaps without fuss. Wrap-up: Polished coffee, quality pastries, and a bright room that feels like a small pause button. Easy recommendation if you're strolling SoCo and want something a notch nicer than the usual chain. read more

Ordered: Iced Brown Butter Banana Walnut Latte (~$7): latte with a brown butter banana syrup and walnut bitters Aya's take: I'm a sucker for banana flavored drinks or desserts, so when I saw that Mañana had an Iced Brown Butter Banana Walnut Latte, I ordered it expeditiously. I was drinking and drinking and could not taste the brown butter, banana, or even walnut that was allegedly in the drink. I spoke up to a worker asking if I can just get something else but they kindly offered to remake my drink. When they re-made it, it tasted the exact same. I trust it was made properly but I think the syrup was just super weak in flavor. It just tasted like a regular iced latte. Normally, banana is a pretty overpowering flavor but it was nowhere to be found. The drink itself is a 3/5 but I'm bumping it up to a 4/5 due to the friendly staff. read more

I think its really hard to stand out in the Austin coffee scene. Manana, although aesthetic, does not have the coffee profile to compete with the best in the city. However, their drinks are still pretty decent and I do appreciate a rotating seasonal menu. On my most recent visit, I ordered a iced almond brown sugar latte. It was a 7/10- I didn't really enjoy the fake almondy taste that much and it wasn't well balanced with the espresso. My friend ordered off the seasonal menu and got a daybreaker- grapefruit sparkling americano, and it was pretty fire. Overall, probably won't return if I just want coffee, but its a cute spot with fast service to catch up with a friend. read more

It is a super convenient location and a calm atmosphere, potentially ideal for hanging out--but it's always FREEZING (like I have seen people blowing into their cupped palms and rubbing them together to create warmth, wishing the scene were replete with campfire) and the table and chair heights seem intentionally as un-ergonomic as possible.

I tried Mañana Coffee and got the Mango Sticky Rice Matcha - super unique and really delicious, especially after adding some of the raw sugar syrup they had available. The drink itself was great and had lots of flavor with the mango, but the service not sooo much. When I walked in, I didn't get a hello or any kind of welcome, just a weird super awkward stare.. which made me a little uncomfortable. I had to initiate the interaction and the ordering process which was also awkward due to her not even saying anything. Next time, I might just order online and pick it up to avoid that experience - hopefully with a greeting. read more

To preface I've only had the mango sticky rice matcha and it was fantastic. I asked for an extra shot of the coconut "condensed milk" and it was a perfect touch. (Apparently it's not actually condensed milk but still tasty). Line was kind of long since it's a popular place but once you order, the drinks didn't take too long after!

Everything was fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced, making it a great value for the experience. The vibe here is peaceful and inviting. Although it can get quite hot during the Texas summer, they also operate in the evening, which makes it an ideal place to unwind after sunset. We really enjoyed everything we ordered and look forward to coming back, perhaps after spending some time on the water. If you're looking for a relaxing lakeside hangout in Austin, this place is definitely worth a visit. Cheers!

Sunsets on our Lake Austin patio never fail to disappoint!

They got very interesting lattes that push the boundaries with some umami bombs, but for the most part, it's just subtle in the drinks themselves. I went two days in a row since I was in the area for a conference. The brown sugar miso latte is divine - just sweet enough, excellent espresso shot and subtle earthy notes that really pair well together. The shoyu butterscotch is not that sweet as far as butterscotch goes but you can definitely tell the umami from the soy sauce is more present. Worth a try, but the miso lattes are better. They're pretty quick. If there's a line, it moves fast.

While billing my order, I was literally pointing my croissant for a good 2 mins and they didn't take my order.

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.

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.

Sammie's has been hyped up on social media for a long time and I gotta say it's still underrated! I will gladly have Sammie's take the Pepsi challenge against red sauce joints in NYC/NJ etc. In fact, I've told friends and family that I am going to take them to Sammie's when they visit from there. We just had such a fantastic experience - everything..the vibe..the red light fixtures and the color of the booths and the floor..the service - our server was great..loved their outfits..really had an old school little italy feel to it. The food was much better than I even anticipated - as a guy who grew up on NJ diner mozzarella sticks, I have a high bar for them and these were magnificent. And seriously...taking the "everything's bigger in Texas" slogan and applying them to mozzarella sticks?! top 10 achievements of the decade. The chicken parm was perfect - well seasoned, proper amount of crisp..the basil on top...the perfect browning of the cheese. Also the lasanga was excellent..and best part - the leftovers..took it home and the next two days put them in a small cast iron and re-heated them..and the magic was right there in my hill country kitchen! Lastly and certainly not least - the cannoli...just look at the photo below.. I'll say, yes, the place is pricey but you can really easily split these entrees and then it becomes cheaper than a jersey strip center Italian joint. I haven't stopped raving about Sammie's since I've been there, and I cannot wait to return, recommend it, and take friends and family that visit.

I ordered the pad see ew, and it tasted really fresh with perfectly cooked noodles. Overall, if you're looking for delicious Thai food in a cute setting that's easy to get to and park at, Kiin Di is definitely worth checking out.

Honestly, it's the kind of meal I could see myself ordering every week. My partner went with the Lost Recipe, which looked just as delicious. You can never really go wrong with fried chicken, and this version certainly didn't disappoint. The service was equally impressive. Our server was friendly, attentive and checked in regularly throughout the meal. She even brought us a complimentary crab pastry to try, which was a thoughtful touch and much appreciated. One thing to note this place gets busy, especially during lunch so plan accordingly. That said, the food and service are well worth it and the menu is reasonably priced. Kiin Di has successfully made the jump from food truck to full-service restaurant and it's definitely earned a spot on my regular rotation.
