It's a great place to catch up with friends, but it's also quiet enough to get some work done if you need a change of scenery. If you're stopping by, do yourself a favor and grab a breakfast sandwich or bagel from Casper's next door. The combination makes for a perfect morning.

I ordered an iced almond milk vanilla matcha latte, and it was honestly one of the best matcha lattes I've had in a long time. This place has such a great selection -- everything from sandwiches (including vegan egg salad!) to grab-and-go snacks, an amazing bagel selection, premade breakfast sandwiches, and so much more. The atmosphere inside is super cozy, and it was quite busy first thing in the morning, which was great to see. I'll definitely be adding this spot to my regular weekly coffee and breakfast rotation!

Muffin and walnut scone was also very good. That said, their pastries aren't anything special and came individually wrapped as pictured. We were highly disappointed by the coffee though. Maybe we ordered it wrong or just a bad day but our coffee was quite bitter, and has a strong bitter after-taste. We went for black (no cream/milk or sugar) so perhaps the bitterness came through strong. Regardless, cool place with work area and wifi. Good size parking lot.

Parking in the plaza can fill up quickly so follow the signs for additional parking.

Things Mozart's does well: food and desserts…read more Drinks are falling behind. The peach cobbler matcha just tasted like matcha so why bother calling it peach cobbler? There was some stuff sprinkled on top but very disappointing. Things that are not so great: 1. Orders are all over the place. We got a matcha, a cold brew, and a drip. Matcha came out first. Never got a cup for the drip so had to ask. Also had to remind barista about the cold brew, which is easier and faster to make than the matcha given you just pour it in a cup with ice. Do they just jump around from ticket to ticket when making drinks? 2. I asked for our desserts to be in to go boxes and I wanted our savory food heated up because we were going to eat it there. I said this 3-4x. Everything was placed in to go containers so I had to take the savory food out and ask again for it to be heated up. Food placed after us was already in the toaster so we had to wait extra long for our food to be placed in there and heated up. 3. Music is way too loud. Can't even talk. Thankfully there was a longer than scheduled break in-between the first band and the second band that we could actually talk and enjoy our food. 4. The wait times are ridiculous. The line does NOT move that fast. Probably because people have to keep asking the workers where their stuff is. 5. Parking is terrible. A woman and her friend pulled out and I pulled in only to have valet claim it was their spot. How did a woman and her friend walk to her car and pull out if it was valet? There was also no cone but sure, it belongs to valet. Was this a way of trying to get us to pay? Touristy trap. Yes, I know there is an overflow lot. It is usually packed/full. I was also with elderly parents. Good luck walking down that hill without falling. They used to have someone in a little cart take people back and forth but not anymore. I tipped $8 for worse than Chipotle/Subway service. I've been here on a weekday mid-day before and they've forgotten my iced Americano before. I've had to go up and ask the baristas just standing around and clearly not working on my drink. Then I would sit down and 5-7 min would go by. Still no drink. Go back to the front. They say, oh there's your drink (half melted). I was sitting inside at a table talking with a friend. Surely if they called my name, I would have heard them but I guess they cannot be bothered. I've been coming to Mozart's since high school since I live nearby. Service has become a joke. It's turned into a tourist attraction with prices to match and extremely long lines The food is good, I will give them that. Once the food quality goes down, there is absolutely no point in coming. I also worked as a barista in high school and college. I can adequately judge the level of service as I've been through the crazy rushes. The service is terrible here. It's like they think because they're Mozart's on the lake, they can just not care about providing good service. The people working there, while always polite, do not seem like they like working there. I dont know how to explain it. I think it's because Mozart's is tourist attraction and no longer an actual Austin coffee shop. It feels like Starbucks right at the point Starbucks sold out. It's such a shame. I live a few minutes away so I would like to come here more often but every time I come, I'm always a bit unhappy about my visit.

Luckily this place was dog friendly inside and out. I walked in to discover a cool bar slash coffee shop. They had many beers on tap and a wide range of seating with a bohemian style. My baby had a great time looking for crumbs but the place is kept very clean. The bartender was super nice and friendly. Not sure if they have wifi but a few were glued to their laptops. The beer I selected was very good. No food is served for reason two food trucks outside. Outside there were seating areas by an outdoor pit and under giant oak trees. I see this a great place to hang out when the temps drop cuddling next to a fire sipping on something warm or cold.

It's a mid-sized place indoors with two, large, covered outdoor seating areas. Great music is piped in throughout the grounds. Food trucks line the outer border. Inside they offer a great selection of coffee drinks in addition to a wide selection of beers and a full bar. I had a black Americano, and it was great. Then I visited a poke bowl food truck and ordered a poke wrap (poke ingredients wrapped in rice and then in a soy wrapper so you can pick it up and eat it with your hands). It was also great. I've never had a poke wrap veggie. And if you aren't ready for lunch, I hear one of the food trucks offers amazing breakfast burritos. It's a popular place. It may take a moment to find parking (but at least it's free) and you may wait in line for a bit (even though they had two people working the order counter). But it's totally worth it. The atmosphere, beverages and available food options differentiate this place from other coffee houses and bars. And there's so much seating, you can hang out here for as long as you'd like, sipping a beverage and enjoying the music.

Mañana is located at the South Congress Hotel has coffee + tea, bakeshop and grab + go offerings (primarily water, kombucha, paletas and juices). Of course I was there for a latte spiked with black sesame vanilla (their most popular latte) according to my barista, which I paired with an almond bear claw. This was not your typical bear claw as it was not eye-squinting sweet but bursting with almond flavoring primarily in the center. It was almost like a crescendo in a symphony when you got to the center of the bear claw. My latte was flavorful in a subtle way with the sesame vanilla permeating throughout the latte. It is important to note that they make their own pastries and tacos each day. The pastries are a bit pricey costing more than my latte. The coffee shop has floor to ceiling windows on two sides with one of the windows opening into a courtyard with additional seating. The beautifully titled coffee bar immediately grabs your attention. In addition, service was quick and efficient. I was in and out the coffee shop within 10 minutes. I parked right in front of the coffee shop as it was early before the meters started to tick.

This location have these extremely striking circular and oblong chandeliers, which appear to be made from glass. These chandeliers are certainly the focal of the room. My friend and I both ordered the sweet potato pie latte by Keith Lee. Yes, we did! Apparently Keith Lee is a social media sensation and food critic. I know my friend thought I had been living under a rock since I never heard of him. My sweet potato latte from their fall collection was the bomb diggity!

Luckily, I didn't have to wait too long to order, and our drinks came out fairly quickly too. My boyfriend ordered the banana pudding matcha latte, which was really good and didn't have an artificial banana taste at all. I was impressed by how tasty it was and will definitely order it next time. I ordered the corn pops latte, which had a subtle honey taste that paired well with the coffee. I suggest mixing it thoroughly to evenly distribute the honey syrup throughout the drink for a smoother taste. They have a parking lot, which is convenient, although it can be a bit tight. Most of the tables indoors and outdoors were occupied by customers working, studying, or reading. I can definitely see myself doing the same next time I'm here!

My favorite thing about this place was definitely the outdoor space in the back. It's very relaxing and beautiful.

However, it was SUPER mushy--to the point where I couldn't tell if it was still raw or just severely underbaked texture-wise Almond Bar: It had a decent flavor profile, but the bottom crust made the whole thing very chalky and left a dry coating all over my mouth Cheesecake: Not bad overall, but nothing to write home about Banana Bread: This was the most decent item of the bunch. Thankfully, it wasn't nearly as mushy as the muffin. On the bright side, the gift shop is very cute! I ended up buying a little souvenir to remember Austin by, which was a nice saving grace. Cute concept and a fun spot to browse, but I'd probably skip the cafe menu if I'm ever back in town
