    Stopping off at Teal House for a great bite to eat, they tell me I have to go to Meridian to order my London Fog tea. Ok, no problem as there is a convenient shared opening between the two locations, so I just walk on over and place my order at the bar. They have a really nice bar area and there is plenty of seating in the dining area. When my order comes up, I decide to eat my croissant breakfast sandwich there so I wouldn't have to rush, and to also enjoy the meal with my tea. The London fog consists of Earl Grey tea with steamed milk (oat milk in this case) and a vanilla syrup in this case. They didn't go too heavy with the syrup, and I got to choose the milk product I wanted. Overall, this was a great companion to my breakfast sandwich from Teal House, and it was really good at a reasonable price. If you're ever in the area, you should come try Meridian out.

    I ordered the cinnamon cream cold brew. The drinks were super watered down and flavorless. There was barely any ice in it so it melted basically right away and watered down. I just don't understand why pay extra for a specialty drink if it tastes like nothing. Also by the name I assumed it would have a cream top/cold foam so not sure where the cream aspect comes from in the name. Maybe mine were made wrong, not sure, very disappointed.

    I will do whatever it takes to go against the direction of Austin traffic-- including finding the perfect coffee shop. My top 3 requirements: 1)open space 2) plenty of seating 3) accessible outlets (serving good coffee is a given). Upon arriving at Meridian, I was pleasantly surprised to find all the boxes checked. You'll notice they have a stage here, and though I'm not much of a live music girlie, I could see myself coming stepping out of my comfort zone if I ever feel inclined to. On either side of Meridian, you have two great breakfast options: Donut Palace or Teal House. Pro Tip: Grab something from Donut Palace if you're looking for a more cost-friendly bite

    Awesome local Buda spot. By morning, an open space cafe with a medicinal store attached offering cool gifts, tinctures, and a bakery with delicious cinnamon rolls. By night, a bar and stage for live music, or perhaps a trivia night. Meridian's menu offers many unique concoctions. I have tried the vanilla pecan latte, post workout matcha, as well as a medicinal heart health mocktail. It's such a cool spot right on main st. Always friendly service as well. Highly recommend stopping by!

    Visited Meridian for a music show in the space was fantastic. Very friendly staff. Nice selection of beverages. Ample seating and standing room. Look forward to see more shows here.

    Oat Vanilla Iced Latte & Campfire Cold Brew

    A cute & cozy coffee bar in Downtown Buda that transforms into a cocktail bar at night (I haven't experienced it just yet)! Each table has a QR code for placing orders, and they bring your order to the table once it's ready. I ordered an iced oat vanilla latte with regular sweetness and extra cold foam. The creamy, smooth, and not-too-sweet latte was absolutely DELICIOUS! Probably the best latte I've ever had! My boyfriend had the campfire cold brew. The coffee combined the richness and bitterness of chocolate cold brew with the creaminess of cold foam, the sweetness of honey and brown sugar, and a hint of spice from cinnamon. It was the perfect blend. Although it was a bit chilly inside, I would 100% recommend this spot!

    Chocolate and almond croissant

    You can't go wrong with Sunday brunch here which I would definitely do more if I don't live so far away. My favorite coffee is the hot lavender, mushroom powder latte with oat milk. It's not too sweet and very satisfying to drink hot. My next favorite is turn pecan latte. This one has more intense coffee flavor and tastes amazing. I can't keep track of how many times I've been disappointed with these gentrified areas in Austin selling ridiculous overpriced croissants that tastes no better than buying them at Costco. But the croissants here is next level! It reminds me of Italy actually. Super flakey, crunchy, delicate and tastes incredible! My only nitpick is the filling might be too much. I tried both the almond and chocolate ones. Staff is super nice and the interior is charming and beautiful. If I'm ever close to the south Austin area, I'd drive straight to this coffee shop. It's definitely worth the extra drive.

    The amazing ceiling fixtures that cast light so beautifully.

    A group of us met here to see The Discount Pills play as the Meridian has live music and a nice stage to perform. I'm not familiar with Buda and my GPS was running me in circles. It's on the main road with historic old buildings and in front of the railroad tracks. Easy to find parking and walk over. The menu can be viewed on line and ordering on line is easier and quicker than ordering at the counter. Then it gets brought to your table. My friends who arrived earlier mentioned it was slow ordering at the counter and had an open tab. Drinks can be pricy. Mine was $13 but so good. Coffee and tea is about half that. The place is very old school in vibe and set up with wooden table and chairs but has been updated enough. Friendly staff and good vibes all around.

    I spend hours at this place and the attached market. I've loved their adaptogenic drinks, protein drinks, and coffee.

    We visited Taste on Main for the first time for brunch on the weekend. Some of my party ordered…read morebreakfast food but I had the shrimp and grits. I have to say this was some of the best shrimp and grits I've had. The portion was perfect, not too heavy on the grits and plenty of gravy, perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked jumbo shrimp. As I looked over the menu, I realized that they have some amazing seafood choices and their raw oysters on the half shell are very high-quality for the area. Our service was wonderful. Our server was very attentive and offered coffee refills on the regular. The restaurant itself and bar are so well decorated. It's such a comfortable place. What makes it even better is they have a huge covered outdoor area for overflow or if you just want to sit outside. Everything about Taste on Main makes it one of my favorites in the area. I will definitely be back, I may become a regular.

Service was quick,…read moreserver very accommodating and the restaurant was clean although we noticed a couple of flies buzzing around. Did not visit the restroom. Ambience was nice with the exception of one toddler on the other side making a little bit too much ruckus. Hopefully a one off. Our food arrived quickly enough. Major Yum yum points across the board for the crawfish dip (super delicious) loaded mashed potatoes (did I mention w Bacon) and the Steak carpaccio. Below par for the Chicken fried steak w potatoes, green beans (flavorless) and I don't know but I expected the Ceviche salmon to be..more. Not entirely a bad experience. I'd be willing to try other items on their menu next time round.

There was one a few months ago that had a little oil spritz on top that was my must have for its entire time on the menu. The coffee is fab. I do miss the sweater weather latte from last year, but the house made syrups and the coffee itself are really great so I can't complain. It's easy going during the day, it's more festive at night, but we love it for both vibes. The markets they host are also really lovely, great food items and pastries, etc. Solid food truck rotation, although I am missing the lamb barbacoa mini tacos now that pueblo viejo is gone and mil amores has taken over as the taco staple.

    UPDATED REVIEW It's…read morebeen a few years since my last review for the Progress Coffee location in Buda. Now that the foundation has settled, let's dive in: SERVICE: The baristas have gotten much better (or were let go and replaced) and are much more competent than the first few months. FOOD: While they still don't offer food except for light local pastries, the food truck vendors have changed and NOT in a good way. I always come for my coffee and breakfast taco, but the recent change has been a huge let down (cash/zelle/venmo ONLY, inconsistent hours). Progress needs to monitor their food trucks better and revisit those contracts PARKING: Now that Progress has subleased a portion of their building to an insurance agent, the alternate lot is reserved for insurance patrons only. Parking is already frustrating to begin with. Open the grass lot and expand parking!! COFFEE: Once again, the signature coffees are just not for me... they're too sweet or light. Luckily, they're Matcha Lattes have been subbing in.
