Matcha Latte
Nicole A.

We ordered an apple pie matcha and a vanilla matcha. The barista with glasses and a beard was extremely rude and told us "I don't know figure it out" and gestured to the receipt when we asked which drink was which as they look completely identical. The drinks were good but it doesn't make sense how the only barista making drinks can't remember what he made two seconds after calling out the order name.

Matcha latte

Very cute coffee shop next to Crux rock climbing gym. Their menu is simple but the drinks are delicious. The latte is strong and smooth and slightly creamy, which brings out the boldness of the coffee. Matcha latte is very yummy and earthy. They use ground matcha and go through the process of properly whisk it with a bamboo whisk until it's well mixed before pouring it in milk. That's how solid it is. Highly recommended you to come try this place when you're in the area whether you hang out with friends, have a quiet place to work, or just have some me time.

Lavender berry matcha

Service was quick! My lavender berry matcha was good, it was a little sweet but it's a nice sweet treat! The space is great, plenty of seating inside and some outside that's covered.

Blackberry lavender iced matcha - didn't think to take a photo until after drinking most of it because it was so good!

Switchback is right next to Crux South climbing gym, and I'm so glad I stopped by! I honestly was not planning to post a review, but I got the blackberry lavender iced matcha latte and was blown away. I didn't think to take a photo until after drinking most of it, but it was perfectly balanced for my taste. It was not too sweet or watered down, so the matcha and the syrup flavors all came through. The matcha was hand-whisked to order, a beautiful bright green color, and tasted high quality. They also had self-serve house made simple syrup and honey simple syrup out for customers to adjust sweetness to preference. Definitely plan to return next time I am in the area!

Brand new interior

What a beautiful space! This newly opened coffee shop really took us by surprise. Located in the same building as Crux, Switchback serves coffee, beer and wine. They also have a few pastries. The staff is very kind and the coffee is just... Wow! I had one of their espresso tonic seasonal drinks and it was succulent, perfect balance of bitter, sweet and sour. One of the best coffee drinks I've had in Austin, actually. My husband who likes to review espresso by itself also gave it two thumbs up. The beer on draft is, according to him, very fresh. Love this new place and we look forward to visiting again! Also digging the opening hours, coffee shops open late are a rarity we deeply appreciate.

Came to Cosmic with a friend. He suggested a Mexican food truck that is here. And of course we got…read moredrinks. He got a frozen mango drink. And I got the black cherry lemonade drink. My black cherry, vodka based drink was so good. It was sweet, and cherry flavored. Loved it. Thought I would only have 1 so I closed out my tab. I ended up getting a second one. But my friend treated me to my second. My friend also got the frozen coffee something. I didn't take a picture of the menu, and forgot what he got. I did have a sip of it, and wow, was that good. I need to come back here again, cause the food truck was great, the drinks were fantastic, and the whole area outside was perfect. I do have a friend coming to visit, so maybe we can come back and I can show her around.

Cosmic Pickle is a very unique venue located of S. Congress that I discovered while visiting…read moreanother nearby location. The Cosmic effect can be realized through the red string lighting inside. Cosmic has indoor seating and outdoor seating with a covered patio. The lush greenery and trees make the venue visually appealing. In addition, a food truck park is across the walkway creating more interest. Joint outdoor seating is also shared with the food truck park. You can easily toggle between the food trucks and Cosmic. In addition, since there is so much outdoor space, the venue appears to be dog friendly. The drink menu has quite a lot of variety. In the early morning hours, you have the opportunity to drink lattes, espresso or cold brews paired with pastries. As the day continues, you can add to the drink menu wines, beer and cocktails. I had hibiscus tea with a croissant...both delicious. That morning, I was the only customer, so I had dedicated service. Will have to return in the evening...
