My friends and I met at this charming cafe in East Austin, and I was amazed by the inviting warmth…read moreof the intimate shop. The baristas greeted us, and they were so helpful. They gave us a quick rundown of all the drinks and food items they offer. They like to encourage conversation & creativity amongst the people in the community, so laptops are prohibited on the weekends as well as after 5pm on weekdays, they are closed on Mondays. There's a handful of parking spots in front of the cafe, or you can choose to park on the street in the neighborhood. There are beautiful plants and board games for you to play while in the cafe. They have tables outside on the patio, or they have tables, chairs, benches and couches inside. They have a dj booth since they have a dj at night, and they even had music records and merch shirts for sale. There were only 2 other small groups of people when we went on a Saturday morning. I choose a #2 smoothie, a turkey pesto sandwich (Turkey, Basil Pesto, Provolone Cheese, Sun dried tomato spread, mayonnaise. Served on a toasted ciabatta from Texas French Bread) and with a side of fresh berries. It was fresh, flavorful and delicious. I love to support small businesses, so I plan to be back on another quiet weekend morning.

Great place to talk, study (although there's background music that may be distracting) and overall fun vibes. Note that there's a no laptop rule after 5pm.

I went to Blenders and Bowls for an acai bowl; however, I got distracted by the Blenders, i.e. smoothies. I went for a Beach House Blender (Blend of Frozen Bananas, Frozen Strawberries, Frozen Mangoes, and Pineapple Juice.), a touted bestseller. It was so thick you could have eaten it with a spoon. I like that it was not eye-squinting sweet, yet very flavorful and satisfying. I was headed to the gym, and I did not want anything super heavy. The location is casual with a tropical paradise persona including outdoor seating. The staff were helpful in pointing out the bestsellers. They created a laid-back environment. I needed to use the restroom while there, which is in the hallway behind Blenders and Bowls (lock combination required). There is also limited free parking. Overall, Blenders and Bowls lured me in for their healthy options. It is perfect for when you want something tasty and healthy.

We came here bc we were really craving an açaí bowl and didn't want to drive to our typical…read morelocation. There aren't very many açaí bowl options in Austin & this was the highest recommended. I was very indecisive but the lady at the register was very patient with me even though it was like 10 mins till closing. Unfortunately, I can't say that I loved my bowl. I ordered the small and the smoothie base to topping ratio was just off. I kept getting spoonfuls of granola more than anything. Maybe order the large if you want a more even ratio of toppings to açaí smoothie base, I'm sure you could also ask for less granola? The fruit in our bowls tasted pretty fresh & sweet tho so that's a plus! The inside is pretty small and only has a few seating options but there are a couple tables outside. The parking shares a parking lot with the taco deli but there is also street parking if the lot is ever full. Overall, I think this place is okay but I'd definitely choose Playa Bowls over this place any day!

They have small and large size options. Staff is always friendly when I've been to this location. This last time I went the açaí itself a bit on the watery side which was a bit disappointing.

Civil Goat Coffee is a cute cafe in Austin with great lattes and tasty eats. I went with a large…read moregroup and their outside picnic tables were perfect for accommodating us. There is also a small dog park right next door, so that kept us entertained throughout our visit. Since I used their QR code for ordering, which was attached to our table, I didn't have much interaction with the employees. But my order was ready quickly and delivered to me smoothly. I ordered a small hot latte with honey and the Smashed Avocado with added poached egg. I was very impressed by both of these items! The latte had perfectly steamed milk and just the right level of sweetness. And I always appreciated beautiful latte art. The toast was super satisfying and it incorporated a variety of interesting flavors. The walnut pesto and balsamic glaze gave the dish a zesty zing, but it was balanced nicely by the avocado and expertly poached egg. I loved Civil Goat Coffee and, if I were local, I would absolutely revisit! Highly recommend!

Great salads and teas…read more But absolutely maddening experience on almost every visit. Run out of things early in the day. Get served in plastic, not glass. Self-service ordering, via an ordering platform that takes substantially more time to figure out than had they taken our order themselves. (We ordered two things last week (which we've ordered often, for years) and the staff needed to help us with both, which they acknowledged was confusing on their platform to even them.) All easy fixes, but they seem to be working towards a less customer-oriented experience. Please raise prices rather than degrade the experience. We want you to last for the long haul!

I will say the star was downgraded as the chia seeds were just put on top and made a big clump. I'd prefer it to all be mixed together as chia seeds shouldn't be eaten as a clump. Anyhoo, flavor wise was great and after mixing it up. I'd return to try other items and request anything with chia seeds to be mixed throughly.

What showed up was basically just frozen açaí and a pile of granola. No banana, no strawberries, no blueberries, no Nutella, no peanut butter, no coconut. Just a sad bowl of icy açaí buried under dry granola. It looks absolutely nothing like the menu photo and was honestly really disappointing. If you're going to advertise a fully loaded bowl, you should actually deliver one. For the price, this felt like a complete ripoff. I won't be ordering again.

The consistency of the drinks is off as my friend and I have ordered the same thing (made by two different people) and it didn't even nearly taste the same. ORDER AHEAD OF TIME. I promise. It takes forever if you go in. Also, make sure to tell them you're a loyalty member because they try to jump over that like crazy. The juice/smoothies/food is always good but overpriced.
