    Behind the scenes

    Sightsee Coffee is a women owned coffee shop on S 1st Street in Austin, and it's a cute coffee pop up connected to a cupcake shop! They have a shared parking lot, and a variety of fun drinks. Very cutesy! I went with the It's A Date Latte with a simple syrup reduction from dates, oat milk, a little bit of baking spices. A sweet treat!

    Super cute coffee shop off S 1st! Little bake shop next door! Matcha is delicious and so many cute special drink options with cold brew and coffee! The matcha is one of the better in town - always mixed well and great with a little vanilla Service is quick too!

    Was excited to finally make it in after having ordered beans online from Sightseer before. The space was cozy but bright and welcoming. Love the ethos and the menu was just as good! I got the kali latte today and it was awesome--I usually shy away from flavored drinks because they're normally sweet, but this was perfect! The barista (Angela) was really friendly. Highly recommend their beans and drinks.

    Cute small woman owned cafe that's eclectic inside. The barista was very friendly and the service was fast. My drink was average priced compared to other shops, and tasted delicious!

    An adorable little coffeeshop off S 1st St that's worth a visit! Tons of delicious and smooth lattes and sweet treats to pair! Their homemade syrups are divine and the flavor pairing are so cool! Their mission to support women owned coffee producers is amazing

    Maple with black lava salt iced latte

    $7.31 for a baby size coffee. No! And they only have one size. I had 2 iced lattes. Smoked Maple Latte with smoked maple syrup and black lava salt. The photo with the black stripes is The Curse iced latte with spiced date syrup and black tahini. The flavors are not pronounced. If I did not already know the flavors I wouldn't have immediately known what they were just by tasting them. Even tasting them they're too subtle to identify. They basically just tasted like smooth espresso with nice slightly flavored creamer. Honestly, it was even difficult to distinguish between the two different flavored lattes. Love the creative, unique flavors but you can't really taste them much so sort of negates the creativity. It "IS" a very smooth, delicate latte! And even though the taste is delicate, the espresso effect packs a punch. Not the taste, it is NOT a strong taste of espresso. But the price is just too pretentiuos. PS Parking is limited and be warned this is not a work or lounge environment it's attached to a bakery so it's a tiny, cramped, uncomfortable space more suited for to-go coffee.

    I had the cold brew fluffernutter which was one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. My wife enjoyed her mocha latte. She wanted caramel mocha but they were out of caramel. The staff person working that day was super sweet and answered all of our questions.

    Pretty good, the service was really sweet though it was just one girl doing everything. Really small inside too. The coffee was decent though they were out of some things and had a small milk selection (aside from soy, oat, and almond milk). We had a nutter-butter coffee that was good but had leftover peanut butter powder at the bottom that didn't quite get mixed in.

    Sticky Toffee Oatmilk Latte

    First time in and had the Sticky Toffee Latte with Oatmilk- it was perfect. Creamy, not too sweet, smooth espresso and lovely flavors! Even my hubs said it tasted good and he doesn't even like coffee, lol! He had the hot chocolate and enjoyed it, as well. Cute little shop, lovely staff and loved wandering around the bakery next door while we waited for our drinks. Wish I lived closer, I'd be here all the time! :)

This time I strayed from my usual,…read morebut I still kept the Shoyu butterscotch cause it is quite literally the best coffee you can get in Austin. I may be the current Duke of this location, but there is still a lot for me to try. And dang, I really want one of those really nice tote bags. Before I discuss the coffee order I got this time. I wanted to shout out the customer service for being ridiculously amazing. Maybe it was because I got there super early and right when they opened, but this was the first time I did not see them super stressed and low-key freaking out. I usually walk away with my beverages, but this time I sat down. One of the baristas actually came out and checked on me to see how my drinks were. I found this to be super special. Okay, now onto the dirty chai that I ordered. I asked (when I asked about the floral notes that I was tasting) if they made their own chai in house and the woman told me that they in fact did. She also mentioned that I got the end of the house-made batch so what I was tasting might be different from a normal order. I thought this was quite interesting and this was another unique beverage, despite being a staple at many coffee shops. Would I order it again? Probably not but it was good! Also, with the Shoyu butterscotch, I would stick to the iced version. So thank you Desnudo for another great vibe and for making my one hour round-trip always worth it!

Nice space, good mix of seating, wifi, local feel, and friendly staff. Their seasonal drinks were usually fun, the bottled horchata cold brew was great when they actually had it, and buying a quart of regular cold brew was convenient. I also remember them being one of the first places around here doing nitro cold brew. No pour overs, but the drip was solid enough when you wanted something hot. I still own a couple of their t-shirts, so clearly I liked the place. The issue is getting there. The lot is small, uneven, and full of bumps, rocks, and holes, which is not easy when you use a cane. They used to have a handicap space, but the line faded and the sign disappeared. I would drive by hoping for parking, but that intersection is not one I want to circle around more than once. Even going with my husband, it could still be awkward to get in from some spots. For me, it just stopped being worth the effort. These days I usually go to Dog Days instead. It is still a walk from the garage, but much easier to navigate.

Might be a testament to choppy connection so would be a bit hesitant around important meetings here. It's a decent place to get individual contributor work done. Flash Brew - I was exhausted and needed a wake up call. This did just that, kicking me in the face with a blast of bitterness. Plus it's refreshing with the coolness which helps me with the heat. A flash brew in general emphasizes the coffee and this helped me appreciate Barrett's coffee beans. Strong bitterness to shock the system early in the morning!

    Anderson's Coffee Company is one of the coolest stores I have been to in some time. A friend…read morerecommended this store for coffee. They sell coffee by the pound, likely for those serious coffee lovers who have fancy expensive coffee machines. I was looking for a latte. Bad news...this coffee company sells coffee by the pound not lattes (hence the name). Good news... they sell drip coffee for $2.00 + tax. What a deal! This family owned shop has been roasting beans locally since 1972 and focuses on helping customers brew excellent coffee at home rather than serving coffee drinks on premises. According to the store manager, Mr. Anderson occasionally comes into the store. The selection of freshly roasted beans is rather larger, with store favorites like Guatemala Antiqua, Dark Sumatra and Arabian Mocha cited as most popular. Coffee cost on average $19 per pound. In addition to coffee, the store carries loose leaf teas, mugs, candy, cards, coffee pot sweaters, brewing equipment, and small other gift items, to name just a few items. I was totally and completely enamored with this store. They had so many trinkets and interesting items, you literally could peruse for hours. Captivating environment...Loved it...

Not only is it small business and family-owned (which I love), they have a variety of artisan chocolates, mugs, and cute cards in addition to their extensive coffee collection.

The only thing I wish was that they also served fresh brewed coffee there for us to taste.

It was definitely good and had a unique flavor, but it didn't fully win me over. I enjoyed trying it, but it's probably not something I'd order again. The guava matcha, on the other hand, was incredible. Easily one of the best matchas I've ever had. The flavor was perfectly balanced, not too earthy, smooth, and just the right amount of sweetness. Exactly how I like my matcha. Overall, such a fun spot to try creative drinks. I'd absolutely come back for the matcha alone! Note to self, my cousins ordered the white miso and they said it was a little too watery. Get it warm ask for ice on the side.

This year it was still good but didn't have that super flaky crunchy top. Still recommend! I've only had the plain. Guava next maybe? And yes, the line is always "long" but they move very quickly. The line was probably 20 people and took less than 10min. Last year they had breakfast tacos in the courtyard from a local place, but I didn't see that this year so maybe it's not happening anymore. Overall 100/10 recommend this place! Worth the wait.

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.

Just like a number of businesses, Mozart's coffee roasters are featuring Easter related items. They have the cutest little sugar cookies with a Easter theme. My server was friendly and quick. So, was in and out in lightning speed.
