The location is super convenient if you're downtown or visiting the library. If you're driving in, parking does seem to be a bit of a problem. I don't drive DT so it doesn't affect me, but thought it'd mention it so ppl are aware. A lot of places downtown will require you to pay to park and walk a bit depending on how busy it is. Overall, service was great and the drinks were solid.

I was so surprised to see this rated 3.6 out of 5.0. It's easily a 5.0 for me. The team members…read more(staff) are understanding and helpful, much like the feeling of a hotel where effortless hospitality is the only focus. The patrons are a mixed bag. Some leave their dogs on the overly nice furniture, leaving fur behind. It doesn't bother me, but I can understand how it would bother others looking at this as a restaurant, instead of what it is, a daytime coffee lounge and an evening cocktail bar. If it were just a coffee shop, there wouldn't be enough outlets, and there should be more pastries. If it were just a bar, it'd be a little too bright in the daytime, and the laptop workers (me included) would hurt the cool cocktail vibe...BUT it's not just those two things. It's both, and they do a remarkable job of accommodating everyone while maintaining a chill vibe. Seriously, everyone has surprised me with how nice they are here, and we're lucky to have something so architecturally significant with high-end indoor/outdoor furniture. This could just be another $$$ restaurant that detracts from the city's culture rather than adding to it.

My food sat in the window for awhile because the servers and cashiers were laughing and talking which sucks when you're on a time crunch.

It's such a cute coffee shop meets convenience market, and it has everything you don't realize you need until you need it. I grabbed a vanilla latte and a croissant before heading out for a morning run, and both were exactly what I needed to start the day. The latte was smooth and not overly sweet, and the croissant was fresh, flaky, and surprisingly good for a hotel grab-and-go spot. I also loved that they had small essentials on hand, perfect for travelers like me who always forget something. The staff were friendly and quick, even during the busy morning rush, and the atmosphere feels relaxed and welcoming. Whether you're staying at the hotel or just nearby, Loaf + Vine is a great little hidden gem in downtown Austin.
