Such a cute coffee shop filled with indoor plants. Service was great. Coffee was good too. I had a cardamom mocha and parking was so easy
This desert themed cute coffee shop made me feel like I really stepped into the desert, and the hot weather outside really made it realistic. They have cute merch for sale near the counter, so it's easy to shop around while you are waiting in line. We came on a Sunday morning, and the place was packed and line was constantly to the door, so it seemed like a popular spot. They do have a pretty large indoor seating area, which is mainly community style, but most of those seats were taken. They have some seating outside but again it was pretty hot and it was mainly in the sun, so it wasn't super ideal for a hangout spot. They had some seasonal options so I tried the Little Lad Matcha, which has that tartness from the cream cheese foam but I loved the berry syrup. The matcha itself was not the best quality, which I could see from the color, but overall not the worst drink.
Palomino is a super cute coffee shop. I went one day after work; I'd never seen it before because I live fairly far from it but I wasn't disappointed! I came on a rainy Saturday and it was actually quite packed. The parking lot was pretty full too but I did find a spot. I tried one of their specialty/seasonal drinks (the blueberry latte) and it was quite good! Not my favorite latte I've ever had but I definitely enjoyed it. Was like $7 for a small. Overall the vibe inside tho is the biggest reason to visit. There's an industrial/artistic vibe, and a small garden shop inside so there are lots of plants and greenery. It's a very nice space to sit and study. If I lived closer I would visit more!
Pretty café! They have two locations and this is their original. They have a designated parking lot so that's a plus! But there is no sign indicating it is Palomino Coffee on the outside. Their doors have a pink "thank you" so that's the right place. Staff is friendly and greeted me when I walked in. I got the black sesame matcha (hot) and the latte art is pretty! As for the flavor, I thought it was ok. There was still some powder at the bottom of the cup when I finished drinking. You clean up after yourself. There are many plants for sale and they're so cute! There's indoor and outdoor seating. It was a hot day so I opted to sit inside. They have free Wi-Fi and it works great. The tables are mainly communal, so if you don't want to sit with other people, it may not be the best place for getting work done. There are people talking, taking calls, along with music playing in the background.
Great coffee shop imo better than desnudo... specially referring to latte options! Service is good and this location has a beautiful inside and is great to work out of. Many Plants and little Knick knacks too! Great coffee and vibes !
Super gorgeous cafe!! The overall set up is beautiful and I love the bright green of the plants. I actually have been looking forward to returning to this cafe after last trying it out about a year ago. The staff was amazing and made great conversation. Although the environment and aesthetic of the cafe is top notch, the latte I got was underwhelming. I got the seasonal black sesame matcha latte which was unflavorful. If anything, it tasted like straight milk with a faint hint of black sesame. I wanted to enjoy it so bad. Kinda disappointed so I don't know if I'd go out of my way to try their drinks when I'm in Austin again.
Palomino is such an East Austin staple!! This is the best place to WFH, meet a friend, or grab a drink or pastry to-go. Strong wifi, plenty of seating inside and outside, great coffee - what's not to love?? I'm a regular here, and today there was a fall market outside, so my fiancé and I brought the pups over to check it out. I stepped inside to grab myself a latte, and I found the most magical plant oasis inside! Over the last few weeks/months, Palomino has been incorporating more and more plants and foliage into their decor, but today was just out of this world. So beautiful! They removed the roasting unit that used to be in the back of the coffee shop (I'm assuming they brought it to their second location opening soon on Airport Blvd) and instead there is a plant shop in the back now. So cool!
The previous review of mine shares all my necessary thoughts on Palomino, but I have a running list (for my own personal desires) of the best coffee shops in Central Texas and Palomino ranks in the top 3. They do a good job here. I had a blueberry latte and it smacked. RIYL: Going to coffee shops with unique vibes and Instagram-worthy spaces, but also actually having good espresso drinks.
I appreciate the huge parking, the vibey atmosphere, and the delicious drinks! And that's really all you can ask for. All the syrups are made in house, and are therefore not too sweet, which I'm sure most people would love. As a sweet drink lover, I love that you can just add more sugar yourself if you want. I myself was a big fan of the blueberry matcha latte. The matcha flavor was pretty present while still being able to taste blueberry.
The interior design aspect of Palomino Coffee is an interesting adobe/desert combo with concrete flooring. It's really quite different than any other coffee shop and I like it. Once you enter from the parking lot (with ample parking spaces) it's as though you're instantly transported to the desert. It really reminds me of something you'd expect to find in Marfa. The space doesn't appear to be large but it actually has a lot of roomy interior seating with big tables, sofas, etc. In front of the shop as you enter is a patio area for outdoor seating. One of the best things about this coffee shop (aside from the coffee) is that they allow dogs inside as well as outside. Yes, most of Austin is this way but you'd be surprised how many coffee shops only allow furry friends on exterior patios. The croissants are perfectly flaky and fresh. The blueberry latte tastes like a blueberry muffin! It's one of their seasonal offerings and it's out-of-this world delicious. The blueberry syrup is sugar-free & house made. The staff are pleasant and have mastered the craft of coffee as art.
Loved visiting Palomino Coffee this morning!! Such a fun spot to chill on the patio with some friends and we even looked at some plants while waiting for our coffees. The to-go cups are so cute, they are rounded. I ordered the cardamom mocha and was the perfect blend of good flavor without being too sweet. My friend ordered the lavender matcha and she liked it, she said it was just heavy on the lavender. 10/10 recommend and the employees were all super nice too.
I really enjoyed this spot. It was aesthetic, pet friendly, full of plants, and their coffee was really good. I ordered their seasonal pumpkin latte and it delivered. I'll be keeping it in mind for casual coffee dates in the future.
The assethetic of this place is just lovely, so welcoming, and total cool relaxing vibe with group tables and a bar to sit and sip. The barista was cool and friendly. They have some unique drink options. The plants were everywhere they are so nice, they are for sale. Our drinks were good tasting, they make thier add in like the ginger in my drink on site which is cool however the drinks were served warm not hot and served in a glass like a drink or cocktail which I didn't care for but that's just a personal prefernece. It was a great little shop if your in the area, its worth the visit but I went out of my way to get here, I would stop by if in area not but go out of my way again.
The vibes are sick - so much space and fancy. I enjoy how clean it was too. They have an entire second room full of coffee bean bags! Wild Matcha latte with espresso - was yummy and I didn't taste the bitterness from the matcha Crumb cake - exactly how I like it: crumby on top and moist all around. Surprised it's not dry, they did a good job Chai latte - sorry this was a miss. It needs more earthy tones Poppyseed muffin? - sorry I don't know how to explain this (can't find it online either) but it was sooo delicious. Really enjoyed the contrast of textures too Matcha latte - sorry this tasted like I was eating grass. On the bright side they didn't skimp out on matcha Blueberry latte - a seasonal flavor but it was delicious Overall there are some misses but I'd come back in a heartbeat because I can tell how much effort and care they put in. read more

Palomino Coffee looks like it belongs on the cover of Southern Living magazine. Inside you have about 25% of the coffee shop sprinkled with lush green plants...they are draped along the wall, hanging from the ceiling...sitting on shelves throughout the coffee shop...they are beautiful! There is something about a live plant that brings life to a space. The first signage you see when entering the coffee shop is "All plants for sale". No ambiguity...super clear...a part of Palomino's brand! In addition to the plants, the furniture is modern, stylish and minimalist. You could tell the space was being used by remote workers, students and others who enjoyed a visually appealing space. Now for the coffee...I tried a seasonal pumpkin latte. It was flavorful, smooth and nicely balanced. My latte was paired with a bacon, egg and cheese taco from Denizos down the street. Notably, the taco was stuffed with ingredients and the homemade flour tortilla elevated the taste. Also, they serve pastries from Sour Duck, which provides additional choices. In addition, they have a moderate amount seating inside and small amount of covered seating outside. read more

I stopped by Palomino because I was looking for a place to do some work during the day. First of all, the inside of the shop is gorgeous. I loved all the plants for sale in the back. There are large windows that let in a lot of natural light, and they have free WiFi. It's the perfect place to get some work done. For a drink, I ordered the forest fig latte, which was one of their seasonal specials. The service was pretty quick and the barista kindly gave me some recommendations when I ordered. I really enjoyed the latte. I thought the fig flavor was really unique, and I enjoyed the sweetness level. My only minor critique is that I wished the coffee was a little hotter. Otherwise, the flavor and presentation were great. read more

I absolutely love this place. I have visited maybe twice in the last month. The baristas and people are nice. The seating varies for whatever you are looking for. The community is either WFH, meeting study groups, reading, or meeting up with friends. I've stayed there for about 2-3 hours and felt comfortable with the vibes. The succulents and plants give it a calming feel and well the coffee and pastries from Sour Duck hit the spot! read more
This coffee shop is absolutely devine. I got a regular latte and was able to drink it with no sugar or additional flavors. It was so smooth. They had breakfast tacos for purchase which I got the beans, potato and cheese. Definitely needed some salt, very bland. Green sauce was good! The coffee shop gave new Mexico vibes and was very unique. Stop by for a nice cup of Joe! read more

Hey Amy - thank you for leaving us feedback, we really appreciate it.…
Ok let's be real most of people who first come here come for the aesthetics. Decorated in southwest style with a ton of plants (all for sale) this is easily one of the most aesthetically pleasing coffee shops in Austin. You are surrounded by beautiful gorgeous plants and the furniture inside is all curves and the communal tables are nice. They have plenty of shared tables to sit and study - if you're hoping for your own table to study at probably wouldn't recommend this place. They also have a nice bar area to sit at. They do have Wifi and it is strong. Outlet wise they do have some scattered throughout (I counted about 5 that people can use throughout). It's also nice they have a covered outside patio area though you will mainly be looking at a parking lot and new construction. Super dog friendly - there is a sign that says service dogs only inside but there were definitely a lot of non service dogs inside. Drink wise I got the cardamom mocha and I love it because it is not incredibly sweet and has a nice depth of chocolate flavor. If you like a Starbucks level of sweetness of mocha you likely may not like it, so don't expect a super sweet drink. My husband got the seasonal snake bite which consists of vanilla citrus ginger syrup drink - definitely more vanilla and citrus but couldn't appreciate the ginger as much. I do appreciate that if you ask it for here it comes in real mugs/real plates. Food wise they source pastries/tacos/kolaches from various different stores. It is nice they have a microwave to heat up the kolaches/tacos. I got the mushroom danish pastry which I am fairly certain is from Sour Duck and it was delicious. Service wise there was a little something left to be desired. I found the girl working the cashier uppity and cold, but maybe it was because it was early in the morning. Did kind of detract experience slightly. Free parking lot in front so parking super easy. Overall I would come again to enjoy aesthetics and drinks! read more
We ordered the fig latte and the snake bite, such a smooth roast and blend of flavors. Low acidity coffee is my dream and they brought it to reality. Well done! Such a beautiful atmosphere, large tables for a usable workspace and cozy sofas are available for seating. Don't get me started on all the plants plant moms will love this spot! I'll be back ya'll! read more

palomino coffee is a very very aesthetic cafe filled with lots of plants! i feel like most of the popularity comes from the decor tho because the drinks fell a bit short. they're pretty pricey yet the portions are small and tasted extremely watered down. both the hot sesame latte and the iced blueberry latte were weak in terms of coffee and overall flavor :( definitely a beautiful space to sit in but i wish the drinks lived up to the ambiance read more

I have driven past this popular coffee shop so many times but never knew it what was in the unmarked building because they do not have a business sign. Despite this, the establishment is super busy; it was hard to find a seat inside, so I had to sit on the outside patio with my friend when we came on a Saturday at noon. It was quiet inside, with a bunch of focused people working on their laptops. It's more lively on the patio, with sun shining on my face and the sound of friends catching up. Since I am not fond of coffee, I was hoping to try one of their chocolate croissants, but they had run out, so I settled for a butter croissant. There was a beautiful shelf at the entrance with cute decorations that I always see people post pictures of on Instagram. They had a water station where you could refill your own water cup. I was surprised to learn that they sell a ton of beautiful, healthy plants. They have a large parking lot that can get filled quickly on the weekend. read more

Hi Helen - we are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience at…
Palomino is one of my favorite coffee shops in Austin. Very chill atmosphere, simplistic decor inside, and decent amount of seating. There's two large community tables, some living room style seating and some bar seating, I think the taller guy that works there is the owner? he is super friendly. Overall most of the staff are friendly, some of them are not the super friendliest but not rude maybe just more introvert than anything. Quality of coffee is great, my go to is usually just a black drip coffee or a cortado. Their matcha is solid too, except their seasonal fig matcha couldn't really taste the fig/it was very light on the fig taste so that wasn't worth the extra price. Overall: I'd say 4.5/5 but can't give half star so will round up to 5 stars. read more

Thank you, Thomas, for the shoutout and great photos! We look forward…
My fiancé found this coffee shop on yelp and we were really excited to try during our recent visit to Austin. The service was fast and the people were really nice. The interior was well decorated, featuring bohemian touches and (i think) local products for sale near the front. Just outside of the coffee shop, there was a small market set up for additional food items and local trinkets. We ordered a cappuccino and a rosemary vanilla latte. Both drinks had a good espresso flavor. The specialty latte in particular stood out to me as the flavor combination was well balanced. They had another seasonal drink (the miso caramel latte) that also caught my eye. Overall, I had a great experience and I would definitely visit Palomino again. read more

Austin has such a special collection of coffee shops that not many cities can compete with. I unfortunately don't get to visit Austin often anymore, so whenever I am in the city, I am extremely selective about which new shops I want to try and which coffee places I want to revisit that are tried and true for me. Palomino was one of those I found on yelp that I figured had the potential to make my elite list of coffee shops, and boy was I right. I got a seasonal flavor- the rosemary vanilla latte and it was DELICIOUS. You can tell that they are experts at pairing their flavors because this drink tasted very intentional and smooth. The rosemary and the vanilla undertones paired so well and left a perfect blend in my mouth. The espresso was pulled very nicely as well. The interior is very bohemian and cute. There are many tables and spots to do work, but it is quite busy on the weekends! Polomino will be added to my list of austin coffee favorites!!! read more

Went there to meet a friend and was struck by how beautiful it was. They had lots of local plants you could buy and the baristas were kind and helpful and guided me through my choice. I think the coffee itself was pretty solid but maybe not my favorite in Austin - I'll definitely be back if I'm meeting other people and want a nice environment! read more
this place was awesome. coffee is a decent price, I got an iced chai latte with almond milk, i loved it. the ambiance and aesthetic is wonderful and a very unique take on a coffee/plant shop combo. the seating area was comfortable and large with free wifi as well. the place was pretty packed when i went, but my drink came out within 5 minutes of ordering, and i was still able to find seating. i also ended up leaving with two new plants. the only reason for four stars is because the seats were kind of dirty with crumbs, and the place was pretty noisy due to lots of foot traffic. but i would definetly come back to palomino, and i would recommend this place to friends! read more

Coffee was great and cashier was very helpful. Amazing things: -- They open really early! 7am -- They have decaf espresso -- Comfy seating options I'm really glad they open at 7am -- it was nice to get there before the place really filled up at 8:45am. It was quite cold inside. I wore a hoodie the whole time and my feet were cold -- I was wearing flip flops. My half car cortado was good. I probably could have done with decaf -- I'll know for next time. I also had a Tacodeli breakfast taco which was ok. The pastry was delicious and I would order it again. Sugary outside was yummy. read more

Is this place a good place to study? Such as are there cords to charge laptops/phones. Spacious
Depends on the time of day. But sometimes the roasting is a bit too loud to work I think. The patio is cool though. I don't know the charging situation out there.
