I've been wanting to try RM for a while, finally stopped by today. Here are some thoughts: -Service was 5-star! -I asked about their specialty, and the barista said, "Our matcha is real good, and I make a pretty good mocha with white and dark chocolate!" -I ordered my first tuxedo mocha in a while, and I was not disappointed! -Good coffee. Even better service. Prices are not low : ) Highly recommended! read more

Popped in for a latte, despite not having a line, took a few before I was greeted and order take. Got a hazelnut latte and took a couple minutes to prepare. Simple latte, nothing fancy. They do have other food items as well. Space was clean and well kept, pastries were popular with several empty spots. Opening at 4:30am is sooo early! read more

This is a matcha-only review I was originally intrigued by this shop because the only matcha (I knew of) in the AUS airport was Starbucks! I love trying local coffee shops and paid $8.00 for one plain Iced Matcha. Drink wise: Ratio of matcha to milk is not what I prefer--there is more milk than matcha. You can also taste sweetener. If you've ever had the Häagen-Dazs matcha ice cream, it's pretty close in taste. The service isn't bad. There was only one worker when I came in. I won't say names but they looked and sounded very defeated.. They were very quick with making drinks and asked all the appropriate questions. I believe this place is more knowledgable on coffee compared to matcha. Save your money until they have updated their powder to milk ratio. read more

Ruta Maya - Iced Matcha (Whole Milk, no added sugar) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

The grumpy man working was horrible! My husband finally walked away and I almost left my stuff on the counter. 9:45 on Wednesday morning. July 15th. That guy needs to be fired. Airports suck enough. read more

I was looking forward to a great cup of coffee before my flight. Excited to see Ruta Maya by my gate. Despite the price being a couple $$ higher than any other coffee in the airport (plain Jane drip brew) I still wanted it. Disappointed in the quality. Tasted like hot water with a splash of coffee in it. People? Make your coffee bold!! It doesn't have to be the dark roast, but it SHOULD have taste. I'll stick with the bags and grinding my own at home. Typical airport kiosk. Decent employee. Layout a little awkward with the cream at the back and no way to get out except through the incoming line. read more

Decent coffee and the pastries are brought in in the morning. Service is great. Conveniently located in the airport terminal opens very early. read more

I bought a cheese danish at 8:05am & it was stale (at least a day old). with taxes, it cost me $9.59. That's ridiculous! for that price, I would expect more from Ruta Maya. read more

Danish was stale day old. They heat it up for you to try and hide that. Nothing special about the coffee other than the high price. Oh well, live and learn. read more

Ruta Maya - a cup of coffee on a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ordered an iced coffee here and it tasted like it had been scorched when it was made. Further, the barista refused to fill up my reusable water bottle stating that they had no filtered water. If that's true then what are they making the coffee with? There appeared to be a filtered water tap right behind this person. If you like good coffee, and/or value reducing your envirenmental impact, avoid at all costs. read more

I ordered some food and drinks here. I got some tacos and it was interesting to see her take pre-packaged tacos out of a paper bag, put it in the microwave, and then give it to me. Beggars can be choosers and it was actually surprisingly quite good and tasted like TacoDeli tacos. All good. read more

TLDR: Starbuck's pricing with service on a par with the worst the U.S. Post Office has to offer? Heck, sign me up!!! Stale-tasting tea, limited selection, and dispirited employee. I say 'employee' since I didn't see any other people working there. Presumably they chewed through their restraints and escaped into the airport at large. Seriously, if you're going to pay airport prices then go somewhere else. You won't find anything here unique to this store in the pastries or drinks, and you might even find someone with a pulse. Congrats, Ruta Maya - you're officially the most lackluster shop at ATX! This place scores a 1 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either. read more

Ruta Maya - The most lackluster stop at ATX. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

horrible!! the barista made 3 other drinks in front of mine that were ordered after mine. his claim was "they were iced drinks and easier to make." I wanted a refund and supervision couldn't figure out how to do it. I walked away steaming mad!! read more

Coffee tastes like dirt water. Nothing else to say, $5 and the "coffee" tastes like watered down dirt.

Hard pass. $8 for a danish pastry?? I get that this is at the airport but this isn't $8 worth. And to top it off, they stick it in the microwave, making it even worse than it already is. Such low-quality stuff. read more

Ruta Maya - Overpriced pastries - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Quick and short review of this small coffee shop in the Austin Bergstrom Airport. I have made a few pit stops prior to take offs and have had hit or miss experiences. First and foremost, their staff has always been lackluster and offer little to no customer service. Then you move onto their coffee, which is a huge question mark as a few times I have visited, it was great, but others it was one step below Folgers. So it really depends on your visit sadly as quality is not consistent at this small chain. Price wise, expect Starbucks pricing, but no one should be surprised by that being in an airport and all. Seating is available, but most times it has not been cleaned, so I'd suggest checking your departure gate for more comfortable and clean seating. No comment on the food as it never really looked to appealing. With all of that said, I cannot really give it much more than a two out of five star rating. read more

I passed by my normal stop at caribou coffee to come back and give this location a try.. Caribou had a long line and this place had zero... When I stepped to the counter and asked for a large 4 shot caramel latte I was informed they had no caramel! I walked back down to stand in line at caribou. read more

Was there even coffee in my latte that came in a GIANT cup? Or was it just steamed milk? A couple of sips and I threw the $7 mistake in the trash. And somebody please save the poor "barista". He was so miserable to be there. There are espresso drinks available across the hall, and employees with a pulse. Go there. read more

Coffee beans are to die for I get it mailed to North Carolina It's best that I've had in 45 yrs I love dark and flavorful beans these are not even bitter I went thru 5 lbs in no time read more

Disclaimer: This is only regarding their chai latte. I ordered an iced dirty chai latte for $7 but it tasted like just a regular chai. Not worth it IMO. read more

Consistently out of whatever you want to order. The staffs bad attitude is bonus. Do better or close.

8/10 airport coffee. I got the vanilla latte and it was tasty - temp was perfect. 4 stars because it is pricy ($7!) I will give it that it's all organic, and the breakfast sandwich smells good (haven't tried it yet) However for the airport it's a solid coffee spot that isn't nasty. Good bet if you are just looking for a good coffee and don't mind the prices. Would come here again! read more

Ruta Maya - Vanilla latte (hot) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I really liked the carrot cake cupcake . There were a lot of good looking cakes and croissants.

Located near gate 28 of the Austin airport. Good for a quick bite and coffee before you board the plane. Coffee was good. Prices are high, but to be expected at an airport. read more

Great coffee and friendly staff for the airport. The options for food are good for a quick grab and go.

I had the soy chai latte. I think it might be vanilla soy as it was on the sweeter side. Caution: the cup was hot despite the sleeve. I had to put add a napkin between the sleeve and cup to create an extra layer of protection. read more

Like at every airport, pricing here gets zero stars. A large ice coffee (which wasn't that large and mostly ice) was $3.13. Not the worst I've ever paid for coffee. But a PB&J sandwich with granola was $8. That's terrible. Plus, said sandwich had 1,100 calories and 50 grams of fat. I hate airport food! I waited in line for 20 mins because on Sunday 5/21, there was on person working. He had to work the register and prepare the drinks and food. I this was unfair to him and the customers because we had to wait so long. Coffee was meh. They had the milks on the counter to add your own, which I like, bc I like a lot of milk. read more

Ruta Maya - $3.13 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Starbucks light! Cheaper too. No lines usually and quick. Foods on par. Quieter ambiance.

Service is a bit slow & please do not expect a cheerful greeting. I ordered a simple vanilla latte and my friend ordered a vanilla pumpkin latte. My order was correct but somehow we also left with a chai latte despite being the only ones at the counter. We will TRY AGAIN another day. read more

Ruta Maya - Vanilla Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

After waiting in line at this airport location for 20 minutes, I discovered that they have only two choices for tea--no low or medium caffeine options. They only had one person working early to tend the till and serve as barista. This location is not ready for airport volume and speed. I would definitely avoid unless/until they step up their operations to work in an early morning airport volume environment. read more

I stopped by Ruta Maya to grab something to drink & snack on before my flight. There were some other coffee shops in the area, but this one seemed better than the pretentious artisan place across the way. The cashier was super sweet and it was a little slow because she was the only one working, so everyone was pretty understanding of the situation. I ended up getting an Iced Chai, Chobani yogurt, and a Sausage, Egg, & Cheese breakfast sandwich. The Iced Chai was a boxed brand so it's a pretty standard one, but it was still good. Breakfast sandwich was decent as well. $12 for a quick breakfast. Guess that's not too bad/what you'd expect at the airport. read more

Ruta Maya - At Bergstrom Airport - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Airport hangovers are hard enough... but ones that involve a 3:30AM wake up call are excruciating. Thanks to Ruta Maya, I was able to overcome. Haha. But really, I just grabbed a hot chamomile tea and a water with ice. So I'm not sure if Ruta Maya really had the medicinal powers that fixed me. But they helped! Also, the line is much shorter than the place across the way. But there aren't as many breakfast options, so keep that in mind. Oh, and they seem to always just have ONE person working, which stinks when there is a short line. Maybe next time in town I'll actually try the coffee, LOL. read more

the worst customer service and watered down coffee. just go somewhere else if you want a good cup of coffee. the barista was extremely rude as well read more

Went on the morning of 3/5. extremely rude barista. condescending while ordering a simple iced coffee. Finishes my coffee and puts it on the counter. she serves the next person and asks if they want half and half, which was not offered to me. I ask for half and half and get told "it's a dollar, and you've already paid". and left it at that. i understand there are are limited options at the airport, but a basic level of customer service would be appreciated. read more

Solid coffee with beans primarily from Mexico, so the coffee has a milder, smoother and less bitter taste than most coffee from Starbucks, etc who like to use African beans, which are much harsher and bitter in my opinion. I personally tend to prefer Venezuelan, Columbian and Mexican beans over African coffee beans, so this is preferable to me over other coffee spots. Probably the best coffee in the airport and I might give them a higher rating, but I'm used to outstanding coffee from places in NYC like La Colombe, Stumptown and Grumpy's, so makes it tough for me to give Ruta Maya a higher rating. But, nonetheless, very good coffee, and if you're in the Austin airport, you should go here over other places. read more

So Rude stuff I asked the lady who at the cashier to tell me the flavors of the cakes that they sell She looked at me as I did something wrong and said .. which one do you want??? I was like it's not gonna hurt if you just tell me as they are 3 of them Anyway I ordered my stuff and said thank you she didn't respond When she gave me my coffee I said thank you again she didn't respond .. how Rude this lady is!!! I have no idea how employees like this would work or deal with customers and how she is hired from the first place Smile won't hurt .. and be nice to people won't cost her anything Plus my coffee is not completely full and pastries taste bad .. what a waste of m I'm pretty annoyed Please don't support that kind of business who don't care about their customers read more

Bland, watery & overpriced. I ordered a large cold brew with sugar free vanilla....$5. What I was given was a cup 3/4 full of ice and something watery and brown. I'm guessing is that they get questioned all the time because I said "Is that the Large?" and was given a snorty "yup" and he walked off. Nice read more
