This cafe is one of my favorite fantasy driven locations to visit in all of Austin…read more Their rotating special menu with unique flavors make this a standout in an oversaturated marketplace. Austin is known for having a lot of coffee, but very few have identifiable differentiators. Merfolk's creates coffee flavors based on fantasy lore, so you honestly never know what the special menu will have. That's why we keep spending our money there. Many of the drinks are sweet but the staff is more than happy to make adjustments as needed! The ambiance is also so cute and whimsical. I love being in beautiful spaces like this---it makes getting any sort of work done in my laptop much more enjoyable.

Husband and I drive to this place bc we wanted to check it out, even tho we live half an hour away,…read morebut we heard a lot about it. Upon walking in, the place had a decent amount of ppl inside but still had ample seating. Seems like a lot of people work from this cafe bc we sat next to one guy working on his laptop taking calls, & then a group interview came in and sat behind us. Anyway - the drink options were cool. I like the fact that they have cool tea blends as well. They were yummy but it wasn't anything I would rave about. They have board games you can play with, so we played a few rounds of break the ice lol. I was slightly let down by the decor tho I won't lie. I guess I was expecting more fantasy elements or themes, but it was mostly like antlers and wheels on the wall. They did have a cool giant mural though.

It's a great place to catch up with friends, but it's also quiet enough to get some work done if you need a change of scenery. If you're stopping by, do yourself a favor and grab a breakfast sandwich or bagel from Casper's next door. The combination makes for a perfect morning.

I…read moreneeded a casual spot to catch up with a friend while driving down Menchaca Road and decided to give it a try. Never been here before. I didn't sample the bakery food this time, although everything looked tempting. I opted for iced tea, and they absolutely got it right. A generous glass of excellent tea, which is surprisingly hard to find at coffee shops these days. The folks behind the counter were genuinely friendly, service was quick, and the whole place had that wonderfully eclectic, slightly funky South Austin character. Nothing fancy or pretentious, just a comfortable neighborhood hangout with plenty of personality. You can tell Captain Quack's has earned its place in the hearts of the locals. Great atmosphere, good people, and a little Austin weirdness in all the right ways. I'll be back, and next time I'm trying something from that bakery case.

I love this place. I came for a business meeting (and thus didn't take pictures), but I would love…read moreto come here again. It's a mid-sized place indoors with two, large, covered outdoor seating areas. Great music is piped in throughout the grounds. Food trucks line the outer border. Inside they offer a great selection of coffee drinks in addition to a wide selection of beers and a full bar. I had a black Americano, and it was great. Then I visited a poke bowl food truck and ordered a poke wrap (poke ingredients wrapped in rice and then in a soy wrapper so you can pick it up and eat it with your hands). It was also great. I've never had a poke wrap veggie. And if you aren't ready for lunch, I hear one of the food trucks offers amazing breakfast burritos. It's a popular place. It may take a moment to find parking (but at least it's free) and you may wait in line for a bit (even though they had two people working the order counter). But it's totally worth it. The atmosphere, beverages and available food options differentiate this place from other coffee houses and bars. And there's so much seating, you can hang out here for as long as you'd like, sipping a beverage and enjoying the music.

Cosmic Pickle is a very unique venue located of S. Congress that I discovered while visiting…read moreanother nearby location. The Cosmic effect can be realized through the red string lighting inside. Cosmic has indoor seating and outdoor seating with a covered patio. The lush greenery and trees make the venue visually appealing. In addition, a food truck park is across the walkway creating more interest. Joint outdoor seating is also shared with the food truck park. You can easily toggle between the food trucks and Cosmic. In addition, since there is so much outdoor space, the venue appears to be dog friendly. The drink menu has quite a lot of variety. In the early morning hours, you have the opportunity to drink lattes, espresso or cold brews paired with pastries. As the day continues, you can add to the drink menu wines, beer and cocktails. I had hibiscus tea with a croissant...both delicious. That morning, I was the only customer, so I had dedicated service. Will have to return in the evening...

The Cosmic Saltillo location is our go-to because it's walking distance from our home. This original location is amazing. Love the both so much. I like that there are food truck onsite, lots and lots of outdoor seating, koi pond, chickens, certified green spaces, and so much more. It's like being at the greatest campground ever. The interior is spacious. The entire place is welcoming and friendly. Super service. Super cocktails. Super coffee. Super other drinks. You see where I'm going, right? I love it here!

They're known for their signature moon milk, which is a sweetened milk they use in a bunch of their drinks. I really like it. It has a unique flavor, and I appreciate that you can customize how sweet you want your coffee. They offer different sweetness levels (¼, 1/2, ¾, and full), as well as "whisper" sweetness, which is just . It's a great option if you prefer your coffee just a little sweet. Our usual order is the Whisper Wintermoon, and it's consistently good. Their coffee is solid, and the moon milk adds a lovely, light sweetness without being overpowering. I've also tried their iced matcha, which is fine, but I wouldn't necessarily come here specifically for it. They sometimes have breakfast tacos in the mornings from a local vendor, and those have been pretty good too. All in all, Summer Moon is a coffee shop we've enjoyed for a long time. Good coffee, a unique take on sweetened drinks, and plenty of locations around Austin.
