    Iced lattes

    Giving it 4 stars because it has plenty or parking, seating indoors and outdoors, they even have an event space where they host different things. The coffee however was okay.

    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.

    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!

    Their matcha is unparalleled here

    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!

    First visit to Pershing East since they replaced Greater Goods in this location! It is a great spot for a morning latte if you're in the area. I still get sticker shocked when I purchase a latte. All in all, I paid $7.71 for my 12oz vanilla latte with almond milk. I bet that's the current going rate for a 12 oz specialty coffee but an investment I can't do daily. It's delicious though. Service was quick and the space was open and beautiful. The hanging artworks (on sale) are a good touch to the ambiance too!

    The Focaccia sandwich alone is worth the stop at Pershing East. Great place to work, sit outside or read.

My beautiful girlfriend, traveling home from Vancouver, had a morning layover in Austin just recently on a weekday, and I got us a reservation to Paperboy East. Compared to the weekends, their schedule was a lot more open. On the weekends it can be nearly impossible to get a spot unless it's a few weeks in advance. We had a reservation at 8 am right when they opened, and when we walked in, we were seated immediately. The place looks like a modern twist on the old-school diners your grandparents love. There's also an upstairs and downstairs patio. Plenty of space! We were sat at one of the two-person tables. To start, I ordered their house drip coffee while my girlfriend got their "Lil Remi," an iced cappuccino with salted caramel. The black coffee was excellent and flavorful, while my girlfriend thought her Lil Remi was like a milkier shaken espresso that she really liked. From their starters, we ordered their Blueberry Lemon Pop Tart to share. I am a sucker for a homemade Pop Tart, and the jam on the inside was extremely fresh, and the icing and crust of the Pop Tart itself was sturdy and full of flavor. For our entrees, I ordered their Texas Hash with added avocado while my girlfriend ordered their famous Paperboy Pancake with chocolate chips as a full breakfast with bacon and two over-hard eggs. It wasn't a long wait at all to get our food. The Texas hash looked great and was presented quite nicely, which is a shame because I immediately proceeded to mash it all together to make sure every bite had a perfect balance of the roasted pork, sweet potatoes, egg, and avocado. It was very filling and substantial, which is great because I needed it to last me up to dinner. The pancake is the star of the show and is worth the order alone. The flying saucer they serve rises like a cake in the oven and is extremely fluffy. She was surprised with how it was a traditional pancake but loved how moist it was for its size. A perfect pancake to her. A perfect pancake to me because she couldn't finish it, so I took it to go and ate the last few bites immediately after dropping her off at the airport. For being an upscale diner in the prime area of Austin, I knew Paperboy was going to be pricey, but I honestly thought that it would crack $100 before tip between the two of us. I was very happy to see it was not even close to that and cost us about $80 with tip. To me, that felt fair for Austin, and I would pay that price any day of the week for a breakfast like we had. I've had a few of the locally owned brunch and breakfast spots in Austin and concur with the masses that this sits strongly at the top of the list. Best pancakes, best atmosphere, and the best times. RIYL: Good vibes served with maple syrup

Not only because they literally have every kind of candies and snacks possible but because it's just so cool! From healthy to indulgent, they have it all. We ordered their coffee and their pistachio latte was amazing! Service could've been friendlier. They also have a great selection of pressed juices and they have tacos there which we did not try. Will be back whenever I am back in town!

Quickie Pickie blends a convenience store vibe neighborhood charm corner store. It is part convenient store, part café, and part neighborhood hangout. They even have craft beer y'all! It is a threefer - in one location you can grab a meal, a craft beer, and your grocery items. What you say?! It is a neighborhood vibe. You could see a variety of folks - ones coming in to grab essentials, others grabbing a bite to eat, at others chilling while being engrossed conversations. The staff is friendly and extremely efficient completing transactions at breakneck speed. The place appear to be where the staff knows your name and welcomes you upon every visit. They have a surprising large selection of wines. I was not expecting this. You can pick up snacks, drinks, or even local curated goods...not your typical convenience store. Overall, exceeded my expectations...
