    Dirty Chai w/ oatmilk
    Benita T.

    Came here with my coworkers to try a local shop instead of the main chains. I love a good surprise coffee shop. When we arrived I loved the area that they are located in as I feel like you can do a pub/food crawl down the row of all the options. We pulled up 30 minutes after they opened and walked into paradise. I ended up ordering a 16oz Dirty Chai with oat milk with vanilla. I walked around while my drink was being made and noticed a roastery and wall art. I absolutely loved the boom box wall art. They have happy hour and beer on tap, later in the afternoon. The dirty chai was nice and my coworkers loved the espresso. They said it was extremely smooth and they could get caught up if they didn't realize there were 3 shots in the cup. If you are ever in the area please feel free to join.

    Loved the coffee here! Located in the St. Elmo Arts District, Spokesman is a large coffee shop that roasts their own beans and also brews their own beer. I got a free parking spot right out front, and was amazed by the super high ceilings and amazing murals on the walls when I got inside. They also have a small outdoor patio. I got an iced americano and loved the espresso. The person I was meeting with got an orange latte and I was intrigued by it! Definitely will try a specialty latte next time. Can't wait to go back!

    Awesome first experience at Spokesman. The space was super cool and inviting on this Saturday morning. Arrived at about 9am and there was no line! We walked right up and ordered drip coffees, a "glacier freeze" (draft carbonated blue Gatorade haha), and a coffee cake. They have an amazing selection of rotating coffees (both drip and espresso), an awesome beer list, and food from numerous high quality purveyors. I will definitely be back for a Sour Duck croissant. I wish there was more comfortable/cozy seating, but that is a minor gripe. The staff was incredibly kind, informative, and quick. Would love to come by and see what it's like at night!

    Stopped by Spokesman to grab a beer Friday night during happy hour (they're only $5!) the bartender made great recommendations and let me sample two beers that I was torn between. After sampling, I snagged the Vamonos and really enjoyed it!

    Very cool and spacious atmosphere, lots of graffiti art, medium amount of seating. great place for studying, WFH, a lot of single seats & tables. The cold brew was smooth & has a nice flavor, they roast their own beans. They have a variety of beers on tap. Order at the counter service, they also serve pastries from Sourduck & Kerlaches (way to support the locals).

    There is no better coffee in Austin - Spokesman is the top dog, GOAT, best of the best! They have an amazing selection of coffee drinks, beer and unique surprises (sparkling Gatorade is the best thing you will ever drink in Texas heat!) Barristas are skilled, friendly amd unfussy (even when you order a half caf/extra hot Americano with steamed cream and homemade Pistachio syrup). I recently tried their special of the day - Tiger Eye - delicious espresso, drink with orange and cardamom. It was like if a chai and cappuccino had a baby. Go there now!

    I love that there is an amazing coffee shop in my neighborhood! Spokesmen is located in the yard in the St Elmo district and off the bat you know it's a cool spot just from the location alone. The inside is very industrial and you can see them roasting their beans which I've never seen before. There's plenty of seating and it's quite enough to come here and do some work too. The coffee is always amazing and the service is the same as well. I just might be a new regular!

    The interior is very cool looking and it has a nice ambiance. I ordered a chai tea with no ice (because iced beverages make me shiver terribly) and it was repeated back to me. The barista made it with ice... this happens a lot because I feel like they forget/don't care/hate when people do this. It is just always disappointing. I didn't ask for them to fix it because it took probably 20 minutes for the barista to make the drink. I don't think I would return here. The chai is fine, but it is nothing to write home about.

    $5 cider and beer happy hour everyday from 4 to 7 . Gatorade on tap for the non alcoholic and non caffeinated options. Heady art everywhere to check out. Highly recommend!

    If you're looking for an artsy fartsy coffee shop, look no further. The ambience is very charming and whimsical with really friendly customer service. I went there for the first time on Sunday with my spouse and was not disappointed. Their little bread buns filled with the brisket are absolutely delicious. They are so good in fact that I would honestly come there just for those alone. I also really appreciate that the lattes I ordered were not drowning in sugar. I got the lavender latte and my husband got the ginger latte. Both were delicious. The bathrooms were very clean and tidy. The chocolate they have near the cash register are very tasty as well. If you stop by, I recommend trying the little chocolates with the picture of a wine bottle on the front. It has a very nice rich, smoky flavor. Please take a look at my photos for a reference. I look forward to coming back.

    I stopped here with friends to do some work on our laptops. I tried the seasonal flavor - Biscoff Latte. Honestly I love Biscoff so I was really excited to try it. The Biscoff crumbles on top sink to the bottom right away, I was hoping they dissolved into the coffee. The first couple of sips were good, but then my coffee got cold so fast. I think that even though the place has really high ceilings, the fans were going full speed (keep it mind it was raining outside), and therefore blowing on my coffee. Not only that, but also my eyes started feeling dry after a little bit I was there. Other than this, the coffee was good. One of my friends got the peppermint one and it was better than mine, and the other one tried the Cinnamon Chai and liked it. By the time I finished my coffee, all the crumbles were soaking at the bottom and the texture was not my favorite, tbh. There's also a section with a water fountain, spoons, sugar and much more. The atmosphere in the place is pleasant, they have a projector and a tv going and the bar seems perfect to go grab a couple drinks with a friend. I personally give the whole experience a 7 out of 10.

    Basic latte. No flavor. Delicious.

    See all

    Just your typical coffee shop just like any other coffee shop in Austin. Was in & out for an order. Nothing bad with normal though!
