Baristas are super friendly and were happy to take the time to explain their "one +oner", a shot of espresso and cortado, to me. I ordered it and it was delicious! There was a nice mix of people on their laptops, coming in and out for to-go orders, and families meeting with their children. This location is lovely and fits the neighborhood well. read more

Cute chaotic little coffee shop tucked in an unassuming neighborhood near a laundromat. The folks were lovely- both some friendly older customers that are obviously regulars, and great baristas. This place has their own brand of beans. Flavor was ok, even for a cortado the flavor seemed just meh. The cappuccino is served with a little stroopwaffle bite that was a cute touch. The layout of this place was something I can't get past- there is no flow, no sense in where you order to where you pick up, and seating is odd. There is some seating out back (but you have to go out the front and around) that is nice and shaded, and there are some cute stone tables out front. Also some counter seating inside and out. But honestly, it's all just chaos. read more

This place use to be awesome! Absolutely horrible now. Can still get a good coffee. There's service is bad and they don't stock the pastries anymore! read more

Classic latte with whole milk, this is perfection and hits the spot every time! Warm notes in their coffee, perfectly roasted and wraps you in like a cozy hug. Cozy Austin vibes atmosphere, local art displays on the wall. One of my favorite spots for coffee. read more

Staff was really nice. The place did smell like mold, and the coffees and matcha tasted very bland like it's been diluted. Along with the fact there was bugs on the pastries. Super expensive for bland drinks and worries that I may get sick because of the moldy smell, not worth the money. read more

The coffee was bland and there was flies everywhere behind the seating, and on the food. It also smelled like mold all over. The service was alright the lady serving us was nice but everything else sucked and it was hard to park. read more

A Consistent and Reliable Plain Latte If you're a latte lover, this place delivers perfection every time. The foam has a pleasant roasted coffee note, not too liquid or too foamy, just the right consistency. It's rare to find a coffee shop where every cup is consistently great. Even their iced lattes maintain fantastic flavor without foam, which is impressive. The space has a cozy vibe with art displays on the walls and seating both inside and outside. The staff is kind and warm--you can tell they make coffee with love. Just a heads-up: if you show up too late on weekends (around 9 or 10 AM), their pastries often run out. The punch card is a bit of a scam--getting a free drink after 10 doesn't feel as rewarding since the prices keep going up. Still, the coffee is fantastic, and I'll definitely be back--just gotta get there early for the pastries! read more

Medici Roasting - Whole Milk Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been going to this place since it opened. They used to pride themselves staffing the friendliest baristas. I have since coming because they just aren't nice anymore. I stopped in yesterday and the girl working at the order counter didn't even say hi, no welcome at all. What would you like, how can I help you. Like I had to start the conversation. Then the two baristas on the bar did everything in their power not to speak to customers. I asked them a question about kids and they just pointed. It's sad. The coffee were fine but I've had better. read more

Great coffee. I got a cappuccino. They made a perfect about of foam. the foam was rich in structure and very tasty somehow. The espresso taste is recognizable. No or very little acidic-after-taste. I didn't come here to work or study but everyone else has a laptop with them. I assume the internet connection is good enough here. It's very cute inside with many seatings. Overall a very decent coffee shop. I'll be back when I'm in the area. read more

Medici Roasting - Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Quaint coffee shop in the heart of Tarrytown, it's one of the few coffee shops in the area, but it's open early and gets the java fix in. They got some strong coffee game and plenty of pastries. I tried a flash brew, which is a rapid chilled coffee prep and it was definitely crisp, not too bitter and very caffeinated. Something to get you going in the morning for sure. Service is quick. Plenty of seating for those who want to hang around. read more

This is different from the Medici Roasting across town ~ as no roasting done at this location on Lynn, this is more like a local coffee destination same GREAT coffee all the staff was friendly and they have stamp cards!!!!! 10 stamps get you a FREE COFFEE. Small little house with some indoor seating plus an outdoor patio in back & some outdoor seating in front too. As with most coffee places in Austin breakfast tacos along with some traditional danishes/rolls are on daily menu. read more

A cute coffee spot for a quick coffee. Not that much seating inside but it's in a nice area with neighborhoods around to walk in. I'm docking off a star because I ordered an Iced tea and saw it was like 4$ on the wall or something and then they made me pick my tea and I accidentally picked a tea bag that was like 6.50$. So my iced tea came out to over $7 which is actually ludicrous in my opinion. My bad for not seeing the price but also I have never seen a tea bag that expensive in my life and it didn't taste like 7$+ tea. Kind of pissed me off read more

Five stars for the good energy & atmosphere first and foremost, followed by the solid drinks and helpful, friendly staff. I'd come back again for sure! read more

Super good coffee and atmosphere. Also beautiful latte. Neighborhood place with nice service.

Medici got so greedy they wouldn't close today or yesterday, despite their AC being nonfunctional in nearly 100 degree heat. Just walking in the building for five minutes, I felt sick. I can't imagine what the staff must've experienced. Amazing service!! Shame on you Medici. Treat people better. read more

I have heard and seen the name around Austin and finally had the chance to try it. I bought a hazelnut latte with almond milk and some beans to bring home. The drink was so smooth and so worth it. I made a shaken iced drink with the beans and it was amazing as well! The staff has been so sweet and I'm looking forward to coming more. read more

This place is cute because it feels like a cozy home in a small town neighborhood. This location definitely has more of the wooden feel to it so it gives off a more vintage vibe. If you're looking for more modern feel then I suggest the South Lamar or Springdale location. Parking is limited here but luckily there's neighborhood parking if you don't mind walking a block down. I came here on a Tuesday at 1pm and I couldn't find parking at their lot. The coffeeshop is not very big either but I like that there are outside seatings! It's great on a nice day out. The barista was very friendly when I took a few seconds to decide what I really want to order. They also have pastries in the front that really lures your taste buds. The pricing is different than what I saw on Yelp so just to update, I got a cappuccino for $3.93 and comes out to be $4.25 after taxes and I love even numbers. It comes with a little piece of treat so that's a nice touch! read more

Medici Roasting - Cappuccino - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Idk why Yelp says it's closed today because apparently they're open. I had their cold brew and lemon ginger scone, the scone is so soft and fluffy, and I ordered it warmed up so making it a good pair with the cold brew. They have plenty of outdoor seats as well as indoor ones. But due to the pandemic I prefer the outdoor area. Enjoyed my breakfast time here! read more

I have been searching high and low since the early 2010's for a muffin that comes close to the HEB blueberry muffins before they changed the recipe. The muffins I'm talking about had the perfect muffin top which was considerably firmer than the rest of the muffin and could be broken off into little chunks so you could eat the whole top before eating the rest. Another defining feature of the legendary HEB muffins was the tiny square sugar crystals sprinkled on top. My friends, I am happy to say the Medici muffins have somewhat ended my quest to find THE muffin. The Medici muffins aren't the most gourmet muffins I've ever seen so don't overestimate this experience, but as far as quenching the thirst for the 2000's/early 2010's HEB muffin they did the trick. I know I cannot be alone in my search for muffin. As far as the coffee shop overall, clean, friendly staff and a good place to do work because there are usually open seats inside. read more

One of the classic old reliable coffee houses of Austin. THE place to get work done if you live in Clarksville. Caffe Medici is reliable everywhere. It does not always have the nut-ball crowds of some of the flakier establishments in North Central Austin or the New East Side. But the clientele is cool enough, thank you very much. * * * Under coronavirus conditions, no one is sitting at the tables with their laptops getting work done. Caffe Medici wisely both closed their sitting spaces and took the perishables off the menu. If you want food, they got Kind Bars. So as of now Caffe Medici is limited to coffee, coffee, coffee and coffee - coffee to go. Fortunately, that is like telling Superman that he is limited to flying, being bullet proof and having amazing strength. Caffe Medici has always had superior coffee - A statement which is NOT true for many of the other equally ballyhoo-ed prestigious coffeehouses in the city. In a battle of straight up espresso - Caffe Medici is going to do well. Their particular espresso is marked by being exceptionally rich. It also has light sprightly undertones of acid under the richness. So the coffee is very fulfilling - but not at all heavy ..... a very very pleasurable combination. I could drink Caffe Medici coffee all day and all night. (And if I drank it all day - yes, I would be up all night.) I don't live near a Caffe Medici - so I tend to not hang out in their rooms. But when I do hang out in their rooms, I am always happy. Overall, one of our gems. ************** P.S. If you read the other reviews, you will find one guy with Italian barista training working out on Caffe Medici - because they don't make the coffee the way his favorite place does at home. I openly invite that reviewer to take an apartment in Florence where he can drink all the coffee he wants to drink at the one cafe he loves. There are many different coffee beans in the world, many different ways to roast them and many ways to brew them - and all of those methods give different results. If someone wants one and only one flavor of espresso, May I recommend that person also drink one and only one type of wine? read more

It feels like home and you get to know the locals and staff. Great pastry options and the drinks are quality. Only improvements is the AC inside is so so loud. Makes your ears ring. That and the tables never get wiped down and garbages are often overflowing. read more

Caffe Medici is one of the best coffee shops in West Austin. As a tourist, I visited the famous Hope Outdoor Gallery (a giant wall of graffiti art on one of the highest points in ATX) and needed coffee after. Yelp brought me a few blocks to Caffe Medici. It's on a main strip with several other restaurants. Caffe Medici seems like a smaller coffee shop, but it is not. There are plenty of seats (mainly smaller two person tables) in three different parts of the cafe. There are plenty of plugs inside and free, strong wifi. If it's a perfect ATX day, grab one of the tables outside. The sell a variety of snacks, pastries, and of course coffee. I ordered a latte and the art and taste was on point. It was one of the best lattes I had in ATX for cheaper than other cafe options. read more

The coffee tastes great. It's right in the heart of Clarksville, very close to Josephine's. The staff and clientele are kind, always. It's not the greatest ambience, to be honest. The tables and chairs, though relatively plentiful for the small place, are not comfortable. One thing I'm not a fan of is the aesthetic of having giant QR codes posted everywhere, mostly to sell art. It's not...beautiful or fun to look at. The coffee is good. The pastries look delicious, although perhaps on the unhealthy side. Two bathroom stalls, a community book shelf in the back corner. It's a good spot to take your computer and get some dialed in work done. Like I said before, good coffee, which is probably what you're looking for in the first place. Enjoy! read more

Medici oh Medici, you're the medicine to my happiness!!!!!! I think I've just fallen in love with you!!!! 29hrs of no sleep and counting! I lost count of how much caffeine I have consumed so far today! Dead tired! Hungry af! Cranky from all of the above plus the disappointment of more misses than hits when it comes to my exploration for latte art in Austin so far. I was determined to change that after my last failed attempt looking for latte art. Plus I'm pretty delirious right now to give a fudge how many cup of coffee I have had today. Yep, writing review for Medici while still sitting here sipping on the amazing almond milk cappuccino. I'm not drunk, just hyper, so you can still trust my words ;). I wanted to jump seeing they offer STEVIA along with cane sugar, and brown sugar!!!! First coffee shop I have been to so far that has STEVIA option!!!!! They don't put any kind of sweetener in the latte, so I can adjust the sweet level to my liking!! Another huge point!!! Little things matter a lot and always add up y'all!!!! They just made my night with great coffee, STEVIA, again, and the cutest/best touch complimentary tiny cookie that comes on the side with the cappuccino!!! It's delicious too!!!! Parking is a lil pain in the ass, but just do neighborhood parking, don't park in any of the Laundry's parking spots next door or your car will get towed. Seating and coffee are definitely worth the little trouble!!!! read more

Clarksville location: Nice atmosphere but the internet doesn't work. After spending $6.50 on a small latte (??) I sat down to start studying and the internet goes out after 5 mins. I ask the barista's what's up with the connection and they said it's never reliable. Don't go if you want to sit and stay. If you're wanting to buy an expensive coffee and move on with your day, then sure. It's fine read more

Wonderful Caffe and to the brave young lady that stood up to that irrational man who thinks a business can't have their own rules and even tho the state has them too and for some reason thinks the rules don't apply to him, good for her for standing her ground and keeping herself and the other customers safe. Bravo to this woman and hearing the panic and fear in your voice broke my heart. If you have a Venmo I'd love to send a tip. That guy can go fuck off. He clearly just likes arguing and enjoys being a piece of shit. Will be stopping by here the next time i found myself in Texas read more

Parking lot with 5+ spots. Check Outlets. Check Music/noise level. Check Decent coffee/espresso drinks. Check 5 stars for ambience! This is now my favorite go-to place to study! Stopped by this location because I was already in the neighborhood and decided to check it out instead of driving to my usual coffee shop - and I'm so glad I did. This might just be the quaintest coffee shop I've been! It's like that cottage you dream of moving to one day but cannot for reasons like.. life. But now you can! Sort of. Okay you don't get the cottage to yourself, but it's so peaceful that it felt like so. I was lucky enough to grab a window seat (there're prob only 2 desks that don't get a window view) and enjoyed the serene view of rainy Austin when I needed a break from work. Everyone around me seemed to be enthralled in their work as well (they may be checking Fb but looked real professional even so), so it's conducive to work. This location is unique in that it's definitely Austin-y, but without going overboard (remember those uncomfortable but cool-looking furniture from that one shop? Or two?) So why only 4 stars? I'd give 10 stars for ambience! But held back by Yelp's 5 star system and their espresso. As it's a coffee shop, the final rating should be about the coffee. And 4 stars keep away the crowd away, right? ;P read more

Medici Roasting - Cappuccino to go - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Coffee was tasty, nice environment. We also enjoyed the common area connecting the shops which adds extra seating possibilities.

Popped in for some iced coffee and tea while waiting for our dog's grooming appointment. We were able to find parking in their lot, but it isn't the biggest - this seems to be the kind of neighborhood place where a lot of people walk over instead of driving. We were able to grab a table outside pretty easily at 10:00am on a Sunday - it was busy but not crowded. My fiancé ordered our drinks, and they were quickly prepared. The "large" tea was actually quite tiny, but the quality of both of our drinks was good. We didn't order food, but a lot of the people around us had some delicious looking dishes. Dog friendly!! read more

Caffe Medici has several locations in Austin, but IMO this is the best location. It's secluded in the quaintness of Clarksville. Away from the drag and the business of downtown, this location is quiet and has more of a family atmosphere than the other locations. I like to spend time studying here. They have great batch brew coffee but also will take the time to make you a pour over or an espresso drink. They offer some sweet selections of beans - usually having wild gift and Olympia beans. Good service, good location, good coffee. One of my favorite coffee shops in Austin. read more

Have been going to this location since it opened. Still love it but over the past two years I've noticed it takes longer and longer to get your drink order. Last week it took over 15 minutes and the place was not crowded. Don't know if it's the baristas working slowly or lack of staff. Don't expect a quick turnaround for your order and if you're in a hurry go somewhere else. read more

I LOVE this location of Medici. The outdoor patio seating on the 2nd floor overlooking the street is such a treat! We went here on a Saturday... two moms and three kiddos. We all got our treats and sat on the patio for almost an hour. The coffee is great... I had an oat milk cappuccino and it definitely hit the spot. The kids had cookies and brownies from the bakery and they certainly seemed to enjoy it. My friend had a drip coffee that she loved and also tried the lavender lemonade. I wasn't a fan of the lemonade but I'll be definitely going back for the coffee. read more

I wanted to write a funny review about Cafe Medici, but, unfortunately, there is nothing funny about espresso. This is serious espresso made by serious baristas. You think I'm kidding? Well, you try drinking a bottle of wine after a long day in a cubicle. Then, have your young children wake you up at 6:30 a.m. Guess what? They don't care about hangovers. All they care about is chocolate milk and Iron Man. It's not pretty, folks. Orange juice won't cut through the fog. English breakfast tea won't drive away that headache and give you a fighting chance. Sure, you could pop into your neighborhood Starbucks and have some middling coffee made by people more interested in blasting out Caramel Mocha-Fattacinos and upselling freaking Via to keep the a-holes in Corporate off their backs. Why not come out firing? Take your life back. Go to Cafe Medici, somehow park in that ludicrously small lot, and order some seriously good espresso made by someone who knows more about coffee than any sane person should. read more

Because I love coffee and everything about it, I've set out on an unofficial quest to try every coffee house in Austin and the surrounding area. I finally tried Caffé Medici. I wanted to know what all the fuss was about. I'm kind of picky about my coffee and I am not easily influenced by what others say, however, my taste buds say this place really lives up to its reputation. The lattes are smooth and bold at the same time - bold enough to grow hair on your chest if you get your coffee full on leaded. (I sometimes like to order de-caf....of the "why bother" variety). If you don't want milk in your latte, they offer soy as an alternative. They swirl lovely art on top of the lattes for you. The lattes are prepared quickly. They also happen to offer pre-packaged gluten-free cookies in their pastry case, which I didn't try on this visit. It's an old house. There are unique seats out front made of stone with wood planks drilled in. The atmosphere is pleasant and the staff is nice. You can find a bookshelf with books, magazines and games, or you can enjoy burying yourself in your laptop.....a little something for everyone it seems. Cool place, great coffee. read more
