Strawberry Rose Italian Soda add vanilla
Stephanie W.

Nice coffee shop vibes with a little splash of Texas. Great cookies! The Vatican espresso nutella cookie is fantastic! I liked the strawberry rose Italian soda with vanilla. Chill and close to campus.

Cortado
Wes Y.

Medici Coffee is a solid and convenient spot, especially if you are near campus. I got the cortado and it was okay. Pretty standard overall, but slightly sour, which took away from it a bit for me. Where Medici really shines is the space. There is a lot of seating and it is a great place to study or get work done. It feels comfortable to sit for a while without being rushed, which is a big plus compared to other coffee shops nearby.

Classic Austin coffee spot with plenty of seating for groups. There were some snacks but limited variety, no clear options for vegan or gluten free. A bit on the slower side, but coffee was very good!

The downstairs area

Service was wonderful! Very kind people and wonderful coffee! The atmosphere is very nice. There is stunning art in the silent upstairs where you can work peacefully.

Cortado

This place is amazing! I got to meet Jenna & Jack and they gave me a run down on the different coffee types! The coffee was amazing and the place smells great. It offers a great study vibe with excellent service.

Americano
Hillary B.

Nice place-nice service-staple when in ATX. Also- the prices here are fair and not crazy like 7-Brew or Starbucks

Taryn H.

FAVOURITE STUDY SPOT. Amazing matcha (highly recommend the rose strawberry matcha). The matcha is good quality and good ratio - not diluted like most matcha places. Great pastries too! A lot of nice seating and lovely vibe.

Medici menu
Laurie N.

I ordered a matcha iced drink. Customized it with coconut and lavender. Employees are friendly. Ambience was quite and casual. They have plenty of room upstairs were you can work and study

Michelle C.

It's conveniently located right in front of the school, making it easy to access and a great spot for studying. The pastries are delicious, and the coffee is great too!

Iced matcha latte
Sana A.

5 stars for the really nice service, friendly cashier and exceptional matcha. Thankfully well whisked and none of that pre mixed milk and sugar nonsense. You can add however much simple syrup you want and go from grass to sugar cookie real quick. I like a good medium and the great matcha combined with chill music and cozy atmosphere is enough to make me come back! Don't get the espresso with the soda water w ice though, it's basically eating ice.

View 5/5 Latte 3/5 mediocre…read moreDanish 5/5. This was so good. The ricotta had some herbs (primarily Thyme I think). The pastry was perfect. Flaky and light. Service for the latte was a little slow even though it didn't seem like too many people were before me waiting for their drink. Very cute vibes. Parking in the plaza can fill up quickly so follow the signs for additional parking.

Things Mozart's does well: food and desserts…read more Drinks are falling behind. The peach cobbler matcha just tasted like matcha so why bother calling it peach cobbler? There was some stuff sprinkled on top but very disappointing. Things that are not so great: 1. Orders are all over the place. We got a matcha, a cold brew, and a drip. Matcha came out first. Never got a cup for the drip so had to ask. Also had to remind barista about the cold brew, which is easier and faster to make than the matcha given you just pour it in a cup with ice. Do they just jump around from ticket to ticket when making drinks? 2. I asked for our desserts to be in to go boxes and I wanted our savory food heated up because we were going to eat it there. I said this 3-4x. Everything was placed in to go containers so I had to take the savory food out and ask again for it to be heated up. Food placed after us was already in the toaster so we had to wait extra long for our food to be placed in there and heated up. 3. Music is way too loud. Can't even talk. Thankfully there was a longer than scheduled break in-between the first band and the second band that we could actually talk and enjoy our food. 4. The wait times are ridiculous. The line does NOT move that fast. Probably because people have to keep asking the workers where their stuff is. 5. Parking is terrible. A woman and her friend pulled out and I pulled in only to have valet claim it was their spot. How did a woman and her friend walk to her car and pull out if it was valet? There was also no cone but sure, it belongs to valet. Was this a way of trying to get us to pay? Touristy trap. Yes, I know there is an overflow lot. It is usually packed/full. I was also with elderly parents. Good luck walking down that hill without falling. They used to have someone in a little cart take people back and forth but not anymore. I tipped $8 for worse than Chipotle/Subway service. I've been here on a weekday mid-day before and they've forgotten my iced Americano before. I've had to go up and ask the baristas just standing around and clearly not working on my drink. Then I would sit down and 5-7 min would go by. Still no drink. Go back to the front. They say, oh there's your drink (half melted). I was sitting inside at a table talking with a friend. Surely if they called my name, I would have heard them but I guess they cannot be bothered. I've been coming to Mozart's since high school since I live nearby. Service has become a joke. It's turned into a tourist attraction with prices to match and extremely long lines The food is good, I will give them that. Once the food quality goes down, there is absolutely no point in coming. I also worked as a barista in high school and college. I can adequately judge the level of service as I've been through the crazy rushes. The service is terrible here. It's like they think because they're Mozart's on the lake, they can just not care about providing good service. The people working there, while always polite, do not seem like they like working there. I dont know how to explain it. I think it's because Mozart's is tourist attraction and no longer an actual Austin coffee shop. It feels like Starbucks right at the point Starbucks sold out. It's such a shame. I live a few minutes away so I would like to come here more often but every time I come, I'm always a bit unhappy about my visit.

My black cherry, vodka based drink was so good. It was sweet, and cherry flavored. Loved it. Thought I would only have 1 so I closed out my tab. I ended up getting a second one. But my friend treated me to my second. My friend also got the frozen coffee something. I didn't take a picture of the menu, and forgot what he got. I did have a sip of it, and wow, was that good. I need to come back here again, cause the food truck was great, the drinks were fantastic, and the whole area outside was perfect.

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...

Mañana is located at the South Congress Hotel has coffee + tea, bakeshop and grab + go offerings (primarily water, kombucha, paletas and juices). Of course I was there for a latte spiked with black sesame vanilla (their most popular latte) according to my barista, which I paired with an almond bear claw. This was not your typical bear claw as it was not eye-squinting sweet but bursting with almond flavoring primarily in the center. It was almost like a crescendo in a symphony when you got to the center of the bear claw. My latte was flavorful in a subtle way with the sesame vanilla permeating throughout the latte. It is important to note that they make their own pastries and tacos each day. The pastries are a bit pricey costing more than my latte. The coffee shop has floor to ceiling windows on two sides with one of the windows opening into a courtyard with additional seating. The beautifully titled coffee bar immediately grabs your attention. In addition, service was quick and efficient. I was in and out the coffee shop within 10 minutes. I parked right in front of the coffee shop as it was early before the meters started to tick.

There is only one opening to the building and it is the check in/ POS space. So for employees to get in and out of the building they need to move the entire counter to shimmy themselves into a small brick building. And yet, They have a line around the corner.

Their is a latte for everyone and the seasonal rotation keeps it fresh. If you're not adventurous(or visiting from out of town), just go with their specialty latte: grapefruit brown sugar latte. It is well-balanced and you wont be disappointed. On another note: Logistically, this place is kind of a nightmare, where do the employees go to the bathroom???

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.
