I have been unable to buy any coffee from the web site for over two months and no one from the company will contact me via email, phone, etc. Same thing happened when they stopped the members group and quite shipping coffee beans under the members group.

There are two reasons I came here: 1. It was relatively…read moreclose to a friend I was visiting and the Arboretum which is where I needed to be. 2. They have goats here. Civil Goat is the genre of coffee shops that are secluded from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. So many shops in Austin are located in districts that are busy and buzzing. The original Civil Goat is quiet and peaceful through the trees. Upon arrival, it looks like there's only 3 parking spots, but as you keep driving, there's a whole lot behind the shop for parking. It's not super expansive, but at 9:30 am on a Wednesday, I had no issue finding a spot. They have a large covered patio and a small interior shop. They have QR codes on tables to order on your phone and stand up kiosks for to go orders as well. You can also order inside from the barista, but I got a feeling they just prefer you order from the kiosk... I ordered a lavender latte that was delightful and warm. Very balanced in its flavors. It was served in a cute seafoam mug. My friend ordered a cappuccino that was served in frankly a cuter cup, so I was immediately jealous. I also ordered one of their specialty sandwiches called the Cuerney Sam with bacon, egg, American cheese, hot sauce (Cholula), and honey on a croissant. It was $12 which would have me on here complaining about SandFlation, but it was a hearty size and very well done. Nothing overpowered anything else, so the sandwich lived in harmony. I decided to order a second coffee to go. I got their Coco Capp with brown sugar and coconut syrup. They offer alternative milks of oat and almond free of charge, which is a huge W and something I don't see anywhere. It's a little out of the way for me, so I don't know how soon I'll return, but it made a quality impact on me and was floor raiser for my day. Plus there were goats! RIYL: Very civilized goats. Like "mmm, yes very nice" type of civilized.

Not sure what they tested for but it sounded reassuring. I ordered a breakfast burrito and strawberry toaster (pop tart). Breakfast burrito was tasty and NOT greasy! And the the toaster was delicious and not too sweet! It was tart as it should be. A healthy and peaceful way to start my morning in Austin!

The staff clearly recognized quite a few customers during the short time I was there to do a quick grab and go of caffeine. The staff was super friendly and took their time in helping me pick out a bag of beans based off my personal preferences and intent of use (cortados/lattes vs drip/press). Their beans are well priced at around $14 a bag AND you get a complimentary drip coffee with the purchase! I felt like a winner! I also gave their canned lemonade and coffee drink a try - because why not? It had a unique and almost chocolatey flavor. Not sure if I loved it personally, but the quality of the ingredients and flavors were distinctly there. Certainly will take the time to come back to test out the space for a remote work day or a casual outing. Big plus: They have a parking lot and the option of indoor and outdoor seating. That's more like it!

Went on a Saturday and there was a line out to the street. It took about 20/30 minutes, but once you ordered it was quick! They also passed out tasters in the line which I appreciate. It's part of a little food truck community so theres a bunch of outdoor tables shaded by trees- loveddd the vibes. I got the Iced Brown Sugar Miso Latte and the Iced Guava Matcha (vegan version). The latte was good, but it wasn't anything crazy different from a normal sweetened latte honestly. The matcha, however, was amazingggg. I've never had a guava matcha before and the flavor combo was amazing. I would 100% go back to try their other coffee options and get the guava matcha. Also really appreciate that they were able to veganize it for us!

If you make espresso at home, picking up beans in person is recommended. The mail order subscription is a good option with many roasters, but Talisman's operation doesn't seem great. Shipping lead time looks to be about a week or more, which is days slower than the competition. With a $7 shipping charge on a local order, I expected better. I would prefer to cancel the order and buy the beans I need now for home brewing, but Talisman printed the label quickly to trigger a "shipped" status without actually shipping the order. USPS still doesn't have it. Great shop, less than impressive mail order business.

The atmosphere inside is super cozy, and it was quite busy first thing in the morning, which was great to see. I'll definitely be adding this spot to my regular weekly coffee and breakfast rotation!

Muffin and walnut scone was also very good. That said, their pastries aren't anything special and came individually wrapped as pictured. We were highly disappointed by the coffee though.

We went for black (no cream/milk or sugar) so perhaps the bitterness came through strong. Regardless, cool place with work area and wifi. Good size parking lot.

Anderson's Coffee Company is one of the coolest stores I have been to in some time. A friend…read morerecommended this store for coffee. They sell coffee by the pound, likely for those serious coffee lovers who have fancy expensive coffee machines. I was looking for a latte. Bad news...this coffee company sells coffee by the pound not lattes (hence the name). Good news... they sell drip coffee for $2.00 + tax. What a deal! This family owned shop has been roasting beans locally since 1972 and focuses on helping customers brew excellent coffee at home rather than serving coffee drinks on premises. According to the store manager, Mr. Anderson occasionally comes into the store. The selection of freshly roasted beans is rather larger, with store favorites like Guatemala Antiqua, Dark Sumatra and Arabian Mocha cited as most popular. Coffee cost on average $19 per pound. In addition to coffee, the store carries loose leaf teas, mugs, candy, cards, coffee pot sweaters, brewing equipment, and small other gift items, to name just a few items. I was totally and completely enamored with this store. They had so many trinkets and interesting items, you literally could peruse for hours. Captivating environment...Loved it...
