    Tomato soup and a arugula salad
    Jen S.

    Love coming here. Great for coworking. Friendly staff. Food is delicious. My favorite is the gluten free Belgium waffle and chicken Milanese sandwich. And they have fun events like $1 martinis Mondays!

    Strawberry Fields matcha (16 oz.)

    Cute coffee shop in East Austin. Very modern and minimalistic interior. Spacious and dog-friendly. Pricier drink menu but unique seasonal drinks. Tried this place based on a recommendation from a friend. Overall it was nice but nothing to drive out of the way for! I ordered their seasonal Strawberry Fields matcha. Total before tip was over $8, which is a bit steep (this was without alternative milks). It was pretty decent quality matcha, but the strawberry flavor was very subtle. It was good but I've had better, for less. QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, there's a lot behind the building with pretty decent number of spots. - Seating? Yes, pretty spacious inside. Though not very big tables or anything. More like a casual drop in but don't stay all day type of place.

    I've been here a few times before when it was another coffee shop, so I'm not sure if they are under new management or if it's a totally different coffee shop. Their drinks are just okay, and for $10... that's highway robbery. It's a really cute and bright space with a lot of seating and outlets, but the coffee is nothing special. The fronks vanilla latte is way too nutty without any of the vanilla flavoring.

    Beautiful coffee shop with fun vegan tacos. Spacious and dog friendly, indoor and outdoor seating. Staff is kind. Interesting selection of drip coffee, great for groups, both small and large.

    Had to opportunity to visit Pershing East since taking over and it was an absolute dream. From what looks like an open hangar from the outside, within rests a beautifully decorated coffee shop. The nook in the back is so damn cute and perfect if you're needing a reading spot. You'll find plenty of seating area including a community table towards the back perfect to mimic as a standing desk. From baked goods to a few key savory items, Pershing East has you covered if you arrive in need of a nibble. The coffee used here was really smooth, but my fave moment was their variety of in-house syrups. The team here is so sweet and very open to helping you select your choice coffee or drink. I was moved to try their gingerbread spiced iced latte with oat milk, holy crap was it smooth and enjoyable. So much so I had to order a second one. No need to worry about parking as they have their own parking lot!

    Not quite the same as when it was Greater Goods but they have more food options now. Annoying that they don't update holiday hours online though. The automated messages on the phone re: hours are incorrect too.

    kouign amann and cold brew

    Bright space with a very chill and relaxing vibe. Ordered kouign amann, which was absolutely delicious. Would for sure recommend it as a great place for a coffee break.

    I stumbled upon this quiet little gem that feels like a greenhouse. It's bright all white and airy and everything is spotless. I'm impressed with their range of lattes, especially the vegan options that are clearly highlighted. I also loved this cute, house-shaped mini library nook. I tried the pumpkin vegan latte and the vegan coffee cake, which was deliciously crumbly--definitely grab a plate for it. The staff were great, offering up their recommendations!

    Outlet in seating

    This location is spectacular for a WFH coffee shop that has ample parking, food and coffee for you to camp out for a few hours. There's outlets in the seats which is a game changer. I would add this to your rotation of coffee shops to work from if I were you :)

    Their matcha is unparalleled here
    Neil O.

    Ownership of the space has indeed changed; however I can easily say that the quality of coffee is still entirely the same (still exclusively locally roasted by Greater Goods with baristas who are equal parts friendly and coffee-nerdy) and their new lunch sandwiches that their in-house chef makes are SO good (the Pinocchio is a stand out for me with it's slightly sweet pistachio butter and salty/savory flavors). I've heard tale that there's even the intent to start having a couple beers and wine in the near future so this might also have to become a later afternoon hang for me as well!

    The space is quite nice; however most of the time the music is very loud and makes it a difficult space in which to work remotely.

    It's not a gimmick if they have good food…read more Handsome Dan's has been on my list to try for months, but I've been on a keto diet most of the time, so a bunch of restaurants have been put on a "someday" list. Last week I was on a break from keto, and my husband read my mind. He took me here as the first stop on a rainy Friday night date. I know they have good sandwiches, but they also have their "bait shop" schtick. They're not near any significant fishing spots, and I didn't see any evidence of bait, but whatever. Their sandwiches are good, so they can get away with it. While I ate my sandwich on the patio, we discussed the novelty nature of many Austin businesses, and which ones can hold up and which ones are pure hype. I ordered the Club sandwich. It's not a true triple-decker club, but it was the sandwich that had the best variety of fillings in my opinion. Everything you'd expect in a classic club, but easier to eat because it wasn't stacked absurdly tall like other clubs. The sourdough bread was very crispy, and the meats, cheese, and vegetables worked well inside. On the side I got potato salad which I like more than their other option, which was chips, but the potato salad wasn't anything special. Their patio was the perfect spot to enjoy a rainstorm. They have some glider chairs off to the side that are good for lounging on, but when it really started to rain we moved in to the center of the patio. I'm glad I got a chance to try Handsome Dan's. I doubt I'll be back anytime soon because huge sandwiches like this need to be an occasional treat for me, but if you're in the Springdale area looking for a satisfying meal, this is it!

    Handsome Dans was on our list because of all the online and social media hype. It's tucked away in…read morethe back next to Stargazer in a brewery/ warehouse off Springdale and Airport area. The parking is shared and gets packed in the evening or you have to pay to park if you are unable to find anything in the lot or on the street. Handsome Dans has a sign directing you to the back where they are located. The vibe is true to a bait shop/diner it's casual with a rustic feel, they have a large covered patio adjacent to Stargazer bar. I highly suggest sitting outside if possible because the inside does get a bit claustrophobic and smokey when it's packed and they are smashing paninis on the press with no proper kitchen overhead vents. The type of greasy smoke you get when you are making super buttery sandwiches on a hot press. The sandwiches are ok but not something I would go out of my way to have ,our kids liked the hotdogs and Frito pies which were also kind of "upper class" gas station quality. Most of the stuff here is food that probably tastes way better after drinking several beers. It's like any normal sandwich you could make at home and toss in a panini press to be honest. Really good beers on tap and friendly staff who seemed to disappear to the back quite a bit and came back confused. They didn't know if they had already given me my food because I was ordering and paying for extra food after more people in our party arrived. They literally saw my food I already had on the table from my previous order and thought they gave me double of what I ordered hahaha. I can't make a judgment because I have no clue what they kept dispersing to the back for but can just say the confusion was real, LOL. All together if I had to come back it be because someone I knew wanted to try it. Otherwise for me it's a one and done. I got the pictures I stood next to a sign ,I had the Signiture sandwiches, now I'm moving on. I can say I've been there done that. I'm guessing that a college crowd or just being a single person who just wants to be amongst people that this is the type of lowkey place to go if you're not into the typical Longhorn hangouts. You stop in ,have some beers, eat a low budget ingredient expensive panini sandwich and chill till you have to call yourself a Waymo cause the beer is good and strong.

    Rotisserie chicken with potatoes and bread + butter, what's not to like? Well, if your menu is…read moresimple and some of the items aren't cooked/baked that well, then it's going to be a letdown. Normally, I wouldn't ever order from a restaurant like this since none of the menu items satisfy a craving of mine, but I had a friend in town who was craving just this. Rotisserie Chicken (3/5) - sure it comes with some pretty tasty sauces (chipotle and salsa verde), but the chicken itself was actually quite dry. I'm sure it's juicier on most days, but this time the chicken was quite dry, even the dark meat portions. Baby Potatoes (4.5/5) - These were pretty flavorful and the roti sauce was a nice addition. But this style of roasted potato is probably on the lower tier of potato forms. So even though these were well done, it's not my favorite form of potato. Baguette with Butter (3/5) - The baguette wasn't really baked well. I got two of them and the outside was a bit too tough (slightly crunchy,but mostly on the hard side). I expected something crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, but the toughness of the crust made it difficult to enjoy the fluffier interior. Arugula salad (4/5) - Solid arugula salad. Nothing special about it but I needed some veggies and acidity for balance. Overall, kind of a disappointing experience.

    I'll occasionally order this for lunch and it's delicious and the sandwich is the perfect lunch…read moreside. The chicken is extremely moist and flavorful. They add goat cheese and arugula on the sandwich as well which adds extra flavor. There is also a dressing you can get, I like to ask for it on the side so I can dip it there. The potato's are excellent as well but would prefer to have them a little bit more crispy. It's fast service - not a sit down restaurant. Would recommend for a delicious lunch order that's fast and easy.
