I've recently been on a personal mission to find my favorite coffee in ATX as I am a huge coffee lover and drinker! So far Terrible Love has been my favorite coffee! I ordered the Terribbl latte and the Terribbl matcha which's flavor emulates that of a banana bread (banana, chocolate, nilla wafers and a soft top). The latte was the one I personally drank and honestly, I don't have many notes. It was a great mix of good espresso and sweet indulgence, absolutely top notch coffee. I'm not a matcha drinker so that went to my bestfriend who only drinks tea. She gave the matcha a 6.5/10 but again- this is a coffee review so I'm not holding it against terrible love because I'm not sure what defines a good matcha. If I lived closer I would frequent here all of the time, I definitely recommend anyone in the area stopping by. The vibes were immaculate and the staff were super friendly. Service: 10/10 Coffee: 9.5/10 Parking: 7/10 - the parking lot was nearly full but not impossible Price: ~ $17.97 after tip for two drinks-- a bit on the pricier side read more

A great local spot for coffee! Their menu has many unique options and new flavors to try. The terrible latte was delicious, I asked for less sugar and that was perfect for me. They were very helpful with all my questions. There is only outdoor seating which can be hot in summer, but they have umbrellas and shaded spots. read more

I am a confessed coffee addict especially lattes. When I saw the high Yelp rating for Terrible Love coupled with being in the area, I decided to give Terrible Love a whirl. Love their name... Surprisingly, Terrible Love is not a food truck, but in a small building. The coffee shop is apparently a local focal point for that neighborhood. One gentlemen with dogs placed his order and after grabbing his coffee, he said, "see you tomorrow". Another woman in the neighborhood said her dog's favorite walk was to the coffee shop. How do you really gauge a dog's favorite walk? I ordered one of their specialty coffees, i.e. TRRBL love. It was strong with robust flavor. I immediately felt a soft body jolt! I liked it! Terrible Love also offers pastries and tacos. In addition, they have fairly sizeable. My server, Veronica, was super personable and happy! Enjoyed interacting with her. You can immediately tell she loves her job! read more

My new favorite coffee shop! Tucked away in the enchanting courtyard of a school building-turned office building. The coffee shop window is in the school's old boiler room. The matcha latte is so good, I got mine with grapefruit syrup which was surprisingly a great combo. Service is friendly and fast, we showed up around 9am on a holiday weekend and had our drinks in minutes. Highly recommend walking the property, seeing the garden and enjoying the courtyard. I didn't try to WiFi but I can see it being a nice coworking spot once the weather cools down. read more

Terrible Love - Trrbl latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

My friend and I love to try different matcha spots as a casual afternoon getaway during work and happened upon this cute little hideaway. Terrible Love is run by a lovely owner with creative drinks. I was originally pulled here to try the matcha and grapefruit syrup. Unfortunately for me, it was not for my palate. However it does indeed taste like grapefruit! Instead, I was allowed to swap out for a different syrup where I asked for a mix of banana and caramel - lovely mix! Additionally, they do not charge for milk upcharge. They also have unsweetened matcha if that's your vibe! While my first drink wasn't for me, I'm curious to try their coffees next time I come to Austin! read more

Terrible Love - Grapefruit Matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Quite a hidden coffee place. If you follow the signs you may find the group of people sitting down. Even up to here you will still keep looking to find the coffee shop. It's not in the school, people will look at you if you try to open a door. Their special menu select is very small. Like only one special. Other than that their chai was very well made with an amped up spice level. Nice place to grab a drink and take a walk. Plenty of parking in the area. read more

It is a cute little coffee window in the middle of a neighborhood. A little hard to find, but not impossible since they have signs around pointing to it. We got a chai latte and a matcha latte. Chai was close to traditional masala chai so it was a bit spicy. Matcha latte was with grapefruit sugar syrup so it was pretty sweet and fruity. It was not crazy busy and we got the drinks quick. There's plenty of parking, and lots of opportunities to walk around. read more

Terrible Love - I love hyde park! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Terrible love is a cute coffee shop for a perfect weekend morning coffee. I ordered the TRRBL latte which is similar to a banana bread or banana pudding latte and it was delicious! The banana flavor was mild but just enough for a fun coffee treat. It had whipped cream and vanilla wafers on top and was a perfect Sunday morning treat. It's a walk up coffee shop with outdoor tables, so it's a great place to sit outside and enjoy the sun. The service is super friendly and I would definitely come back! read more

Terrible Love is one of those fun little hidden gem, a bit of a non-traditional coffee shop tucked away in what used to be the boiler room of the old Baker School in Hyde Park, now part of the Baker Center. Kind of tricky to find, but worth the hunt if you're in the area. I had the matcha latte and it was pretty darn good. Smooth, balanced, not overly sweet. I grabbed a breakfast taco too. It's more of a taco of convenience (wrapped in foil) than a fresh-off-the-griddle situation, but it hit the spot. Came with excellent salsa. Seating is all outdoors at picnic tables, so you've got to catch it on a nice day and be in the right mood for the very casual dining al fresco experience. The staff was super friendly and approachable, which can be hard to find at some Austin coffee spots these days. If you're into unique, off-the-beaten-path coffee hangs with good drinks and vibes, this is a fun one to check out. read more

Terrible Love - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I finally got the chance to check out this place which I'd heard great things about- it did not disappoint! What a unique way to convert a building that seems random and somewhat hidden. On a nice day, you can sit outside at the chairs behind the coffee shop, and the slightly salted caramel latte really hit the spot for us. Not too far from where we live, and cozy service and vibes. read more

Loved the grapefruit latte from terrible love! I was certainly hesitant to try it out as I thought it would be very bitter, but I bit the bullet at got it. As a vanilla latte lover, I wasn't too sure about the grapefruit at first but as I continued drinking it, I enjoyed it more and more! Definitely was a bit of an acquired taste at first but I truly enjoyed it and returned for another not even a few days later! You order at the counter and there is plenty of outdoor seating options available read more

Terrible Love - Grapefruit latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is a cute spot for a little outdoor hangout and the coffee here is awesome. The grapefruit brown sugar latte was recommended to me, and I was pleasantly surprised by it (I'm usually not a big fan of grapefruit). It's not bitter at all, and the subtle citrus flavor complements the brown sugar and coffee in a way I was not expecting at all. I haven't been able to try anything else from here because I'm just really stuck on this latte. Parking is plentiful and there's a good amount of seating, but it's all outdoor. The staff is generally energetic and fun, and they crank out orders pretty fast. read more

My new fav coffee find in Austin. Terrible Love is located in an old small building, repurposed into a tiny coffee shop. Theres only outdoor seating. They have special coffee items - aka lattes made with homemade syrup and tea drinks. I got the vanilla matcha - they use Kodemari matcha which is same as at Merit, I love it. My husband got the terrible love latte and it's ... Not too sweet lol. Very tasty with the banana syrup and vanilla wafer crumble. I have given up drinking sweetened coffees but this was very pleasant. They have nice tables outside with umbrellas, which will come in handy once the heat is here. Staff is friendly. Surrounding area is nice and peaceful with a lot of trees. I love this place!' read more

What a hidden gem! Go good I was tempted not to review in order to keep it hidden Adorable coffee window with an outdoor space to enjoy your coffee and in the case of my visit the accompanying Polish food pop up. The coffee itself is outstanding - house made banana syrup was incredible. It tastes like banana bread! Add some house made chocolate syrup and you've got a chocolate chip banana bread latte. Can't wait to go back! read more

Terrible Love, but amazing coffee. Terrible Love's Hyde Park coffee spot is maybe the tiniest coffee shop I've seen, with the biggest flavor. Their specialty lattes are innovative and delicious - the grapefruit brown sugar latte is my favorite, even though I am usually not a huge fan of grapefruit. It is fruity yet not bitter, with a hint of sweetness. I also like that they do not uncharge for alternative milks. Although this is a strictly outside location with a small amount of seating, I enjoy visiting this spot and would recommend it to fellow coffee lovers. Their beans are unmatched, and their unique flavors would make anyone's day. read more

Delicious and flavorful coffee. Service was quick and friendly. I totally understand the hype of their banana latte. This place is tucked away behind a bunch of bushes and part of a courtyard of another building. It also means there's plenty of parking. There is no bathroom to use FYI and all seating is outside. Keep that in mind if you're not getting your coffee to go. read more

For a place named Terrible Love, I don't think it's terrible to love it. All around a solid choice for coffee if it's not too out of the way for you. For the specialty coffee with banana, chocolate, and nilla wafer flavors, it was surprisingly pretty good. I enjoyed that it wasn't TOO much of any one flavor and coffee still came through. I also had the grapefruit one and the grapefruit was also giving the same vibe: recognizable taste but not TOO much of it so that it's bitter. Both coffees have an extremely similar strength and mouthfeel so it most likely is the same base. Outside has some good seating if you're okay with the heat. Our barista was nice and it's dog friendly there too! read more

The grapefruit brown sugar latte was delicious, really unique and yummy. My rating, however, is based more on the overall experience. The barista taking orders was very social with the people before and after me, but barely acknowledged me when I stepped up. There were two menu areas, and I had to ask whether those were the only drinks available. When my drink was ready, she called it without even looking at me. The vibe felt unfriendly unless you were a regular or already known. Great coffee, but the service felt unwelcoming. read more

Coffee done right. Always a good experience. I prefer classic coffee drinks but the grapefruit spin truly does work. Love sitting kind of tucked away in a peaceful area, too read more

A cute hidden little neighborhood spot in an old boiler room! There is only a walkup counter to order with some picnic tables outside. Sometimes there are little pop up markets going on with music. The menu is small but exciting, a grapefruit brown sugar latte? I had to have it. And it was magnificent. I need to return to try their namesake, the TRBL latte with chocolate and banana, plus whip cream on top. Love that this place is walking distance from me. Always friendly service, and you might score a breakfast taco if you're early enough. The line can get long, but it's worth it! read more

This by far a hidden a hidden gem in Austin. I had been fasting for a doctor's appointment and was dying for an iced latte. I yelped latte and a few things came up in addition to Terrible Love. I thought this was an unusual name, so I decided to give it a try. One would have never know. It was such a trip to find this place. Hidden gem most definitely. The staff were so friendly and the latte was really great. So a sweet spot in the old Austin area. Quaint and comfortable. read more

I tried the grapefruit brown sugar decaf latte with oat milk since the employee said whole milk would curdle with the syrup. I really enjoyed the drink! It was not overly sweet and I might enjoy too with the sweetness dialed down a bit. I would come back to try their other drinks since some have caught my eyes. I like how they don't up charge for almond or oat milk. There's outside seating next to the shop but it's more like a window service so there's no indoor seating. There's plenty of parking at the lot. It looks like it right next to an old theater or school of some sort. It's a cool place to have a coffee shop and at the very least, different. It's like you're in a little hidden courtyard. I love how they just stamped "Terrible" in this cute pink on the cups. read more

Decided to try this unique coffeeshop located in a boiler room in the courtyard of an old school building. There was a parking lot and also street parking available. You walk up to their window and I ordered the grapefruit brown sugar latte. Just like the location the taste was also unique with your typical brown sugar latte with a hint of grapefruit that is not too overpowering. The service was quick with drinks being ready for each person after they ordered, so you don't have a bunch of people waiting around for their drinks. read more
