The drink was beautiful at pick-up (so beautiful I forgot to take a photo!), and I got the hype: coffee flavor was bold, mixed perfectly with the milk, and the brown sugar + miso flavors were at the bottom that you mixed yourself. All the flavors worked, but nothing to TRULY go out of your way for. It was good though! Miso adds that "nutty, slight salty" flavor like a "salted caramel" would do. Completely enjoyed!

Here in Austin, everybody knows it's important to "Go Local". Well folks, It doesn't really get much more local than this uber cool coffee roaster/cafe/tea house. They import the beans from all over, but hey what do you expect?..Coffee doesn't grow in Texas. And not just because it doesn't rain, as I was informed by Miss Mallory of New Jersey, but because it only grows between the tropics of Capricorn & Cancer. Random...but super informative as was the rest of her shpeal which she rattled off with much enthusiasm. I even felt the need to ask her how much coffee she'd had that day, but she hadn't even had a chance to get a cup yet, this is just how nice she is!! I started getting starry eyed as it was 7 something AM and hadn't had any caffeine myself and she noticed this, and offered to make me her special, a "cup of love" which is basically cold sweet milk, with espresso layered on top for a quick jolt...Mind Blowingly good. We then sampled a few other coffees and discussed further the "regions" and their "characteristics". Look, I'm gonna stop because I don't want to steal this chicks thunder, she definitely tells the story better than I do...just go by the warehouse and see for yourself. Don't be intimidated by the entrance, it's through the fence, and into the closest (red) door. It's like entering some kind of caffeinated Narnia, and well worth the initial confusion. If you are a tea lover, as I am known to be, they have almost as many types of teas as coffees, including TWO different loose leaf Mate's! I will go back again, and again, and again, and again. The ONLY reason I gave 4 stars only, is because as I mentioned in my opening line, it's important to "Go Local" and they do not accept the GL card. I totally get the reason, they donate a bunch of money already to some seriously worthy causes (like the World Food Program in Africa where many of their delicious coffees come from) and more, but still...it was disappointing. Monetarily though, you still make out going here because it turns out, the drink is free when you buy the beans and after 10 pounds, you get one free! Seriously, what are you waiting for, GO! read more

Everyone I know that has even casually mentioned coffee in conversation I send to Texas Coffee Traders. This place is the best. Let me just walk you through what an average visit is like: You walk in and are greeted by a friendly staff member. They ask you what you're looking for. Oh what's that? You're not sure what you want? No problem. They offer samples. They explain the different beans and different types of brewing so you can truly find what's best for you. They're patient. And oh man... their selection. Whatever kind of bean you're looking for, they have it. They also have all sorts of coffee paraphernalia available for purchase. French presses, coffee socks, etc. My favorite part about TCT, and the reason I keep coming back even though I've moved across town, the staff. They're so knowledgeable and not pretentious. It is unreasonably hard to find an unpretentious coffee staff that's willing to teach -- these guys have it down. There's not much room for sitting/working. It's more of a purchase and go place. But they throw in a free coffee whenever you purchase beans. They have specialty drinks, too, although I've never had them. And some pastries. Seriously though... all coffee drinkers need some TCT in their life. Give it a visit, you won't be disappointed. read more

I am in my third year at the University of Texas and I can't believe I have yet to YELP this coffee shop. I go there almost every day and they are a constant source of caffeine and calories that I desperately need. You see, sometimes I really can't leave in the middle of an experiment or study session and it is the folks at RLM TCT that keep me from losing my mind especially during those crucial times. The coffees are really good, recently they started doing specials that I like a lot. The reason I came here, actually was that I had the most amazing pumpkin spice latte today and when I asked the waitress she told me that unlike a certain major coffee chain, their syrup is free of additives and uses all natural spices and sugars. Furthermore, even thought it is the special of the semester I've been told I can get it all year long more or less so I know what I will be drinking for the next 2 years. Thank you Texas Coffee Traders for keeping me awake and alive, I'll see you tomorrow bright and early. read more

Many years ago, there was a burger place on the drag across from the building where I worked. They began setting up an outside coffee table each morning with $1 cups of coffee. The first time I stopped by I was stunned by just how good the coffee was. It was the best non-fancy cup of coffee I ever had. I was there every day for a $1 cup of coffee. I assumed coffee that good had to be from somewhere else and that they had it shipped in or something. Finally I asked them about where they got their coffee and they said it was Texas Coffee Traders' Texas Blend Vienna Roast. I was STUNNED that the amazing coffee was available here in Austin! That was great news because I was able to get their beans so that I could still enjoy this amazing coffee on the weekends, when I wasn't at work. And then it was even better because I could still get the delicious coffee after the burger place eventually closed. They're doing something right here. Great coffee and helpful employees. read more

This local coffee shop in Austin offers both whole bean and ground options. Tucked away on the east side of downtown, it's a charming little spot. I stopped by to pick up a new bag of whole beans for home brewing. They have a wide selection to choose from, and the staff was helpful in answering any questions I had. I grabbed a bag of whole beans for home, and definitely had a fresh and flavorful taste when I brewed it. While waiting for my beans to be bagged, I decided to indulge in a coffee. Opting for an espresso drink, I enjoyed its robust flavor and potent caffeine kick. Parking can be a bit of a challenge due to the small lot, especially during busy times. Be prepared to find street parking if needed. read more

I visited Texas Coffee Traders after seeing its high ratings, and it definitely has a cozy vibe inside with plenty of seating. I decided to go with a latte, though they also had some interesting seasonal drinks on the menu. I found the latte more bitter than smooth, which wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't bad either. What I did really enjoy was sitting there and chilling for a while. It's a nice spot to relax, and having a parking lot made it easy to visit. Overall, Texas Coffee Traders is a cozy place to hang out, but the coffee didn't quite live up to my expectations. read more

I went in there the other day and kinda played dumb so that I could get the whole lowdown . The staff was really informative without a pretentious coffee snob attitude.

For the price, Texas Coffee Traders is hard to beat. Their Balinese Kintamani and the Blonde Sidamo are the only two coffees that I buy from them. As a coffee snob, I wish they carried more specialty single origin beans. I love light roasts and they only have a few. I would KILL for the Kintamani in a light roast. It's an incredible coffee but sometimes it's roasted on the darker side of medium (with some oily beans in the mix). read more
