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.

We got two drinks the earl grey matcha and the mango sticky rice matcha, the earl grey matcha did not taste like earl grey I cannot describe the taste it had but it overpowered the matcha and you couldn't taste it. The mango sticky rice matcha was okay you could taste the matcha in this one but it had a very faint taste of mango. Overall compared to other coffee shops around town I don't think I'd be back

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.

I came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed, every single outdoor table was full but some of the picnic tables were long enough to share which is what we ended up doing. Even though it was very busy our order really didn't take long at all. You order at the counter and are given a number there to bring to our table which is nice. They had one of my favorite ciders Smell the Van which I loved! And my fiancé had one of their iced lattes which he said was excellent. For food I tried their new sandwich, the FRIED GREEN BLTomato SANDO (english muffin, bacon, lettuce, fried green tomato, remoulade, farm fried egg) and my fiancé had their CARNITAS HASH (crispy fingerling potatoes, pork carnitas, fried egg creamy poblano sauce, pickled red onions, cotija cheese). My fiancé loved the carnitas hash. My sandwich was pretty good; I don't think I'd order it again though. I think it'd be better without the spicy In-N-Out style sauce on it and if they offered it on sourdough instead of the English muffin (since it's stacked so high it's really messy to eat). One thing that was a bummer was that they don't carry ranch dressing. I wanted a side salad but they only had a vinaigrette dressing which I'm not a huge fan of so decided not to order the salad. I'd definitely come back and try something else on their menu though!
