    perfect 10 ( i think) - A purple-colored drink in a clear plastic cup with a lid and straw, branded with Shake Smart, placed on a wooden table in a busy indoor setting.

    this was honestly one of the best smoothies i've had, very yum yummy and close to campus

    Raw-Pb - Frozen yogurt with banana slices, chocolate chunks, peanut butter, and a scoop of berry-flavored ice cream in a clear cup, placed on a wooden surface.

    I found this amazing location in the heart of the University of Texas. It's a little difficult to find if you are not visiting the campus but worth the effort. They have many amazing food and drink options and the staff is especially helpful. We opted for the raw-pb bowl after our 10 mile trek on the Lady Bird Trail. This was a great treat that was well deserved, a special shout out to Arely for making this amazing trophies.

    This place was conveniently located inside of Gregory Gym on campus. The smoothies and bowls were protein-based and very nutritious. They were thick and delicious too. My favorites were the greens to go, original acai bowl, and banana split. Great after a workout or for an afternoon pick-me-up! They were a bit pricey and sometimes the lines were long. Once a year (at the beginning of the school year), students used to get a free smoothie too!

    The best place to get acai bowls or smoothies near campus. My favorite is the raw pb bowl! I wish there was an option to change the sweetness levels though -- sometimes it's way too sweet that I can't taste anything else. Other than that, it's great! Such a convenient location at greg. The wait times can also get a bit long at peak hours

    Dragon bowl with 1/2 agave
    Irene C.

    Came here after working out at Greg for an acai bowl because I wanted a sweet treat to fuel after a workout. I ordered at the self service tablet (but you can order in person). I got the dragon bowl with half agave. It was so good. I actually didn't expect it to be so sweet and was surprised. Next time, I'll probably get it without the agave. I loved all the toppings included too. The only thing is I wish it didn't melt so quickly. As soon as I stepped outside it started melting and turned into a watery consistency and separated into two layers. Another complaint my boyfriend had was about the protein they used. He claimed that it wasnt a very clean source. For about $7 it was a bit on the expensive side but I guess it's a hipster thing. The service was pretty quick. I didnt have to wait too long for my bowl and I was happy with it. I would probably come back again next time if I was looking for a treat.

    Original Açaí Bowl
    Remedy R.

    I was pleasantly surprised when I entered Greg one day and saw a place that sells smoothie bowls! I ordered the original açaí bowl. Love coconut flakes and granola - this was no exception. Also liked the how the addition of protein didn't give it a chalky consistency. Overall, the granola was tasty and the flavors were there - just giving a 4/5 because it was more on the liquidy side (more smoothie like, less bowl like). This is a perfect location to have a smoothie place. I would definitely love getting something from here after a workout or a day of tanning by the Gregory Pool.

    smoothie turned into bowl.  Added some stuff &SUBSTITUTED INGREDIENTS FOR FREE. So healthy& yummy&I designed it!!Like $8-9 for this :D

    i've had Very good quality smoothies and bowls and plan to keep coming back here. the SMART part is that u can literally see every ingredient and customize single food item there using their touchscreen ordering pads. It is AMAZING. I FEEL SOO HEALTHY eating their food and the staff are always friendly and happy college kids. They also offer good quality ingredients that are harder ti come by like pitaya and caco nibs. You can even customize ur own protein powder flavors and types, and of course the milk, toppings, etc for bowls. I love their bowls. You also make ur smoothies into bowls. Their highly flexible and efficient business model makes me so happy and the quality and flavor of the food is the best I've ever had and I'm a huge smoothie person. I really. Like. This. Place. Highly recommend.

    Raw Açaí Bowl is my absolute favorite!
    Rachel W.

    I absolutely love this place - my favorite healthy stop on UT campus. They're fast and friendly, two things pretty rare on this campus. The down sides are that it's a bit pricey and I wish they had more whole fruit in their bowls. Their digital ordering system makes it really easy to customize your order to whatever you want though!

    Frutopia drink

    This place is the place to be. Its got a rockin' vibe and a stellar feel. The employees are fresh & cool, they make you smile and laugh with the small talk while waiting to get your drinks. The management seems to have it together since the place is so clean, I wouldn't mind changing my sons diaper on their floors. The employees are dope, I hear the owners are pretty rad although I havent met them personally. Highly recommend the drinks, the protein is delicious and no chalky taste. In all seriousness, highly recommend, they are awesome.

That alone made it a great find, but what made the experience even better was discovering that they also had live entertainment on Tuesday night until 11. It turned a simple coffee stop into a really enjoyable evening. I ordered a coffee and a brownie, and while the total was a little on the expensive side, around $15 or $16, it felt completely worth it to me. The quality was there, and everything felt a bit more gourmet than your average coffee shop stop. The brownie was delicious, the coffee was exactly what I wanted, and the overall atmosphere made the price feel justified. Between the free entertainment, the beautiful decor, and the location, it felt like much more than just paying for coffee and dessert. One of the best parts of the experience was the setting. Being right on the water made it especially beautiful at night. You can enjoy your drink, take a walk, look at the lights, and just soak in the scenery. It was the perfect place to unwind after a heavy meal and a long workday. Since I was only in Austin for work and do not live in the area, I was really glad I found somewhere that felt special and relaxing instead of just functional. The staff was also very friendly, which added a lot to the experience. Good service always makes a difference, and here it made the place feel even more welcoming. Overall, I definitely recommend Mozart's Cafe if you are looking for a late-night coffee spot with charm, scenery, and a unique atmosphere. I would absolutely go back again.

While exploring the many museums across the University of Texas campus, a quick caffeine break was needed for my girlfriend and we were overwhelmed by the number of options on The Drag. It makes sense that there are plenty of places to choose from because of the large number of UT students. Everyone needs a little coffee in their lives. One of the highest reviewed ones with a large pool of ratings was Lucky Lab Coffee and after checking a few quick reviews, we decided to give it a chance. Lucky Lab has five locations in Austin (four on campus) and one location in Dripping Springs. The one we were at off The Drag was their flagship. This location serves a little bit of everything from sandwiches to pastries, salad to quiche, and of course, coffee. As we walked inside the flagship, it is easy to notice how tight the space is. There is very little seating inside at their bar, but they make up for it with plenty of shaded outdoor space that is perfect for a nice day. Scanning their menu, we landed on some drinks from their winter menu. I was intrigued by their Pomegranate Rosemary Latte while my girlfriend tried their Ginger Spice Mocha. We got them both iced. First, it is interesting to see the fusion of pomegranate and rosemary in a latte. I was intrigued by those flavors. Their drink sizes are 12 oz, 16 oz, and 20 oz, each adding an additional 50 cents to each upgrade. All milk alternatives cost 1 dollar. It was only a short wait to get our coffees and the cup with the little lab on it was cute. I think specialty drinks have an opportunity to be amazing and one of a kind or the worst drink imaginable. This pomegranate rosemary latte did not fall into either category exactly, but leaned more toward the latter. I love pomegranates and I always appreciate how earthy rosemary can be in a coffee. One of my favorite lattes I have ever had has rosemary in it. This was just not working for me. I shamefully did not finish my coffee. As for my girlfriend, she did not like her ginger spice mocha. I could not imagine gingerbread syrup not working in a mocha, but after trying it myself it was not for me either. It seems like a perfect match, but here the gingerbread is competing with the chocolate and instead of complementing each other they clash. She told me that the flavors were "un-mocha like". She drank less than half of her coffee before tossing it as well. Neither of us wanted to dislike Lucky Lab. They seem well established and I felt like they were trustworthy based on reviews, but I wonder what these previous reviewers were tweaking on or what magical concoction of coffee granted from heaven above they were sipping on because we were distraught by how disappointing these drinks were. I would like to give Lucky Lab Coffee Co the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe the specialty drinks were not up to par with their traditional beverages. However, the almost 30 different syrup options on their wall make me feel they lack a little focus and try too hard to stand out. They lose what makes a coffee good, which is coffee. I want to say I will give them a second shot in the future to see if it was just an off day or a bad beverage pick. Too many shots turns a Lucky Lab into Old Yeller. The lab needs to be put on a leash before I think about returning. RIYL: options

There is a neon sign on the window as well as an A-Frame Sign near the entrance to let you know you're in the right place. Parking is plentiful in the shopping center. Because it's in a Yoga Studio, there isn't much seating (though they did have tables set up outside). The vibe was relaxing and calm. I don't know what scent they had in there, but it smelled nice. This wouldn't be a place to study or work as the seating is limited and I didn't see many outlets. There was a small area with bar stools if you need a tabletop, but most of the seating was couches and lounge chairs. It's more of a place to relax or catch up with a friend. I love when coffee shops have signature drinks. I ordered the Cajeta Crème Brûlée Cappuccino. It was so good, but it came in a small cup. The smoky sea salt was delicious! I don't typically care for sea salt in beverages, but it complimented the flavors so well! I asked the barista to sub oat milk which they were able to do but he informed me that some of the ingredients had dairy (which was fine). I appreciated the disclosure. I was able to drink it without any issues. Because my drink was so small, I decided to order a second one. I went with the Ginger Snap Latte (with oat milk) and it was tasty! I didn't like it as much as the Cajeta Crème Brûlée, but it was really good. I was happy that it was served in a larger cup. The space had plants as well as merch like clothing, scented candles, soaps, and jewelry (which was beautiful). The bathrooms were very clean and had feminine hygiene products as well as a basket with bobby pins and hair ties. I love the attention to detail! We were there close to closing time (3 pm). I appreciated that one of the employees let us know that they would be closing without forcing us to get up and leave. It was on par with the gentle and calming vibe of the space.
