As a big fan of Radio's original location, I've been excited to have a new Radio in SE Austin. True to form, this location is beautifully done with plenty of outdoor seating and *parking*, both an outdoor and indoor stage, and lush native landscaping throughout. Warning to those visiting around dusk in summer: during my last visit we were eaten alive by mosquitos. Other than that, love Radio. This location has three food trucks including one of my favorites, Shortwave Diner. Their smashburger and Reuben sandwiches with homemade fries are delicious. Radio also offers an amazing happy hour from 4 pm to close every Monday through Thursday. The hibiscus mojito is the perfect summer treat. This location has a great trivia on Tuesday nights too. I recommend it! read more

TLDR: Diluted iced drinks, bad parking, and minimal outlets After coming to Radio/East a few times now, I hate to say it, but the iced drinks are just too diluted, and unfortunately, is the common theme for the other locations I've been to as well. Most recently, I tried the Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Chai Latte, and the Berry Crisp Latte. What I was hoping for were robust, unique, signature flavors, but left unsatiated, wanting better coffee/tea elsewhere. In addition to the diluted iced drinks, another common theme you'll find is an unproportionally large amount of outdoor seats to indoor and challenging parking, and for those who work remote, there's still an ongoing hunger games for outlets. On the plus sides, there are a few food truck options, most notably Veracruz and Wow Poke and occasionally will host a fun event and/or concert. Overall, I really want to love Radio, but the cons make it hard to justify becoming a regular. read more

Stoped by here during SXSW 2026 to listen to some bands this past Saturday. They had some fun coconut water samples that they used to make cocktails at the inside bar. I got one of their dark rum cocktails. They had some yummy food trucks in the back and several of us had items from Wow Poke which was really good. The weather was nice so we could sit outside in the back area in the shade while we ate. Then we wandered around and listened to the bands for a bit. It's a really nice space. I've been there once before for swing dancing one evening. I wish I lived closer to it but I'm sure I'll end up back here eventually for another event! read more

Went to see Baroness outside in the concert area. This place is very spacious and you are able to see the stage even from the back where there is seating. (And I am shorter 5'2") The staff was chill, bartenders were fast and ordering was easy. Will most definitely return here for more concerts. read more

So many great things both Radio/East although I think it would be more accurately named Radio/Southeast since you must venture south of the river for this gem! That's probably why they have plenty of parking and two huge yard areas, one for food trucks and one for event sitting and standing room. I love that there are tables and chair for us not so young anymore concert goers along with plenty of standing room for those with good joints. Both kinds. Makes for a fun and comfortable concert experience. There are three spots you can go to for drinks so you are bound to find a short line somewhere. I had a few old fashioneds throughout the night and I would say the back outside bar wasn't the best at making them. But they make them with Still Austin whiskey so they were all good. My friend tried the chai ginger something or other and it was not great in the opinion of anyone in our group. Beer selection is pretty good and not crazy expensive. Sadly, they were not making espresso martinis last night, which I really wanted to try. Next time! Really great place to see a show (thanks Sir Woman!) and seems like a nice spot to chill anytime. read more

Great spot for lunch when visiting TxDOT HQ. Food trucks are legit. Not super fast but not horrible either. Food is great. Limited shaded seating available. read more

Came out here for another show. This time a smaller show where they cut the field in half and used the smaller stage. Still a nice venue. Expect drinks to cost $2 more during shows but they still keep it under $10 a beer even for drafts. No lone stars for the cheaper beer selection surprisingly. We also came back here the next day to get coffee and look at the witches "night" market, (which actually took place in the day). Turned out to be underwhelming, only a few vendors were present. The special coffees were a bit more expensive than other places i was used to. read more

It's a pretty good venue with some food truck options, the staff is usually really nice. We were on the music event night and then returned the same day for the witch night market. The music show was really good, but I was a bit low energy to stand around with the crowd, so a table by the fence was SPECTACULAR. The market was...meh? It was about an hour past the start time and there was not as many vendors few of them were just horoscope/tarot readers. Also...why hosting during the day and call it a "night market"? They have basic cocktails and special seasonal options. So is for coffee. The coffee was good although a bit more expensive from some other places we've been around town. The alcoholic drinks seemed to be more expensive during the show night compared to when we came back the next day in the afternoon. read more

Radio East is such a great spot. I went on a date here and it's perfect for that, but it would also be fun with a group. There's tons of outdoor seating, which I loved. Indoor seating is more limited, but it didn't bother us at all. I had a matcha and it was smooth and really well made. They also have food trucks on site, so it's easy to grab a bite while you're there. Big plus for easy parking, and I love that they sometimes have live music. Overall, highly recommend, relaxed, fun vibe and a great Southeast Austin hang which I really appreciate because there aren't too many things in that area yet. read more

After a 5 mile hike at McKinney Falls, we stopped by Radio East because my friends from San Antonio were craving something local. The Veracruz taco truck on site hit the spot, but what really stood out was the service at the bar. I asked if they had any non-alcoholic drinks, maybe an agua fresca, and the bartender whipped up a cucumber mint agua fresca with a tajín rim. It was refreshing, hydrating, and exactly what I needed after that hike. The space itself is great with plenty of outdoor seating both in the front and back, plus indoor tables if you want to escape the sun. We arrived at the perfect time, skipped the lines, and easily found a seat. While I sipped my drink, I watched the bartender/barista craft some beautiful coffee drinks. Highly recommend this spot if you want good tacos, creative drinks, and a relaxed vibe. Insider tip: Order your tacos from the food truck and enjoy them inside with a tasty drink. If the Cucumber drink is too sweet, grab a water glass and add water to dilute it. read more

What a fun & unique spot to meet up with friends! We stopped in for coffee on the way out of town. The service was quick & staff were all very friendly. So much seating options for inside or outside! Will definitely want to visit to catch one of their evening entertainment shows. There are pastries available and food trucks for if you're hungry. We grabbed a few pastries, chocolate croissant & muffin. Drinks: Americano, nice & smooth. And first place I've found that it doesn't "melt" the top rim and spill everywhere on the to-go cups! Pineapple upside down latte - 10/10. No overly sweet, and just straight up yummy. Wish I could have a gallon to go! Latte & iced latte - both great. Simple yet delicious. read more

10/10 coffee shop. PLENTY of seating indoors and outdoors. Cool ambiance. Great beverages. I got the peach cobbler chai latte (spring menu) and it tasted just like it sounds. It was quite tasty. Also, it was sweet but not too sweet to the point that it made stomach hurt. But wait! It gets better. There is PLENTY of parking and they have food trucks in case you get hungry, one of which being Veracruz! The service was great as well. Long live Radio Coffee! read more

How happy am I that this place opened in Southeast Austin??? In an area dominated by fast food chains, Radio is a breath of fresh air.

The vibe is very chill, very friendly and very Austin. Shop local, eat local and vibe LOCAL. read more

Radio East is one of the coolest venues in town. It sells itself more as a coffee shop but when you go see a band it's like suddenly and all ages bar. They have the same great coffee as the other location. Stumptown cold brew is one of my all time favorites. The bar runs like a well oiled machine and getting drinks is always fast. The staff is friendly as can be and never give off arrogant barista mood. Great venu, great coffee shop, amazing food trailers. See a show here have a great time. read more

I had the chai latte... and honestly? It was a no for me. Cute spot, yes. Great vibe, sure. But the chai was giving flat and flavorless. It was missing the spice, the warmth--the whole point. Service was fantastic Would I go back? Maybe to sit outside and pretend to write a screenplay. But not for the chai. read more

Radio/East is the perfect place to hang out, have some good food, and maybe even catch one of the many events that they have happening every week. This relaxed coffeehouse offering comfort food, beer, cocktails, and live music on evenings, is the ideal spot to stop for a drink/snack, get some work done on the patio, or watch a show. We went for a coworking sesh and stepped outside for some food as well. I went with the chipotle grilled shrimp, and it was sooo good. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and the pairing of the avocado was a refreshing addition. We also got some guacamole that was really creamy and yummy as well. Overall, a great spot for any occasion. read more

Locals come here weekly at minimum for remote work, hangs with friends, grab a latte or coffee to-go, eat pizza or tacos, meet up with family, and/or for live music. In the past year I have been SUPER impressed with the bands and musicians who are being booked here. You can come see some major indie bands (local and national/international) right in the backyard of Radio/East without the hassle of having to go downtown or a venue at super affordable prices at a local cool spot off the beaten path in Austin. There are two stages here - one large one outside and a smaller one inside. Sound, lighting, and stage dimensions allow for a super professional experience when you come out to watch some live music/shows. I am a huge fan of the amount of space they got out here. The outside front patio area and the back is perfect to meet with your family, friends, or even coworkers if you had to. There are picnic tables and single seating areas all around the place. If by myself I sit inside and along side the bar to work on my laptop or do some writing. Parking can be a thing depending on what is going on for the weekend or day. When there are market days or events expect parking to be either up and down along side of the street or across the way in the businesses across the way. Just be smart and be sure to read parking signs like anywhere and everywhere else you gotta do here in Austin. Love their draft cocktails they have to offer here including the "hoppy" CBD/THC infused N/A (non-alcoholic) seltzers and drinks they have here. Try their paloma on draft. It is delicious and served super cold w/a nice plump lime! read more

I love this coffee shop! Parking is easy in their huge lot. It's easy to get in and out of for a coffee meeting or to have lunch from one of the food trucks. The coffee shop is comfortable inside and has plenty of seats. I've had just a regular coffee or latte and also a specialty one, and they have all been great. I do really love this coffee! I've been eyeing up their drink menus too and will need to stop in for happy hour some time. Many people work remote here, but there are also a lot of people meeting with other people or talking on the phone, so I appreciated that it was not silent. My intern and I had a work meeting here and it was easy to work on our laptops then get lunch from outside. I've only tried the Veracruz Taco truck outside so far, but it's one of my favorites. They also have a whole event calendar here with live music. I am excited to see Silverstein is playing here in December. I will have to see what the outdoor set up is like for shows, because they really get some big names! Good local one-stop coffee shop! read more

This place is such a vibe! I've only been twice so far, but they have been great visits. It's spacious both inside and out. There's a lot of seating outside, and both areas have a little stage for performers. I've seen a burlesque show here; which was held in the interior, and it was pretty nice. I'd prefer if we all had seats and less audience standing up, but that's just a me thing. Staff is nice enough, I had no issues but we didn't really interact much. The drinks are delicious. I've tried the Spiced Maple Oat Latte and Oat Milk Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Both of which I definitely recommend. I also ordered I think a seasonal horchata based drink and it was incredible. I had to stop myself from drinking it all in one go. That perfect blend of cinnamon with that rice milk flavor was fantastic. I absolutely have plans to come back and try more things off their menu. read more

Super cute smaller radio! There is plenty of outdoor seating and some indoor seating as well. The indoor is very cute - love the glass stained windows!! There are some food trucks outside, a Veracruz taco truck and a side eye pizza truck too! I got a matcha on their specials - rooty frooty matcha - kinda like a fruity cereal milk / strawberry flavor! Very unique and pretty good! Their matcha is a great size too - I sometimes save a little for the next morning. Service is super friendly and helpful! Overall, I am still partial to the original radio location this one is very cute if you are in this part of town! read more

I love that this location is so close to our house. They do have limited parking but there is curb parking. Its pretty busy on the weekends. We stopped in on a nice Sunday afternoon. We grabbed some tacos from the Veracruz taco truck and had coffee inside Radio. Inside is pretty small and our order took a bit but there were only a couple of people working. Outside they had some local vendors selling different items. I need to come by more often just to hang out. I'll need to bring some of my neighbors to hang out maybe when they have a band. read more

We love this new location of Radio coffee shop! It's large, has lots room to sit (including indoor), lots of parking space, and good food cart vendors on the property. The coffee and bakes goods are as good as the original location. In many ways it's a differently arranged replica that's roomier, but it's also more polished, the original location definitely seeming more aged now in comparison. Dogs are welcome at Radio, and it's a perfect spot to hang out with friends or family due to the roominess and the many options for food and drinks. I think this will be our go-to location in the future, it's a closer drive for us too, very convenient! read more
