In the last couple of years, I have tried beans from many specialty coffee roasters ranging from the best local options to mail order from all over the country. Third Coast has become my 'daily driver' for espresso, as their beans offer the best combination of quality, value, and service. El Guapo has been the top choice so far with classic caramel, chocolate notes and a nice syrupy mouthfeel. Every bag has been consistently-roasted and quick to dial-in. Third Coast has so far resisted the insane shrinkflation that has affected many coffee options. As a comparison, local roaster Greater Goods is nearly 2x more expensive, and Third Coast is better. This is the best value in high quality espresso in Austin...and maybe across the US. Highly-recommended! read more

Peeps. Can't say more than every other five star review. Every bean I have tried has been exactly what's advertised. From smooth, full bodied to chocolate or floral notes. You will not go wrong here and the prices on location are excellent. Anytime I'm in Austin, I will be there for the re-up. Thanks Michael for the cup to go! read more

The coffee at Third Coast Coffee Roasting Company was smooth, rich, and full of flavor. I ordered a latte, and the espresso had a nice depth without tasting too bitter. We paired it with a fresh pastry, which made for a really enjoyable coffee break. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it easy to sit and enjoy the drink for a while. A great spot for a quality cup of coffee. read more

Just a quick update: their prices, like many others, have changed, but it's still several bucks cheaper than Central Market or Whole Foods (where you'll find their products, but not the whole line!) read more

Third Coast Coffee roasts exceptional coffee beans. We especially love their Italian Roast!

I just wanted to add a quick updated review for Third Coast to say thank you so much to their entire team for making it easy and safe to continue to get delicious, organic, fair trade coffee during the pandemic. They have created a clear website with easy ordering processes to select coffee for purchase, including size and whole or ground beans. Once you are ready to pick up your coffee, you call when you are outside, and someone brings it to the table out front. This creates a completely no contact pick-up process, which is very safe during COVID-19. I loved Third Coast before COVID-19 and even more now. Thanks for keeping us caffeinated and enjoying exceptional roasts during the pandemic. read more

Best coffee in town. Run don't walk! I call in the morning and they always have my order ready to pickup in the afternoon.

Third Coast Coffee is amazing. Tried many of their coffees and love them all. Our favorite is the "El Guapo Espresso" we use it with our espresso machine and love it. Also the coffee is very reasonably priced and has super fast shipping. Will definitely continue to get our coffee from here read more

These guys are the true Heroes of Austin. I've been traveling to get this coffee for years. NEVER disappoints. They sell at Central Market but trust, go to the location and have a great conversation with those who roast it. Walk in, omg the smell of that warehouse. I generally get multiple 1/2 lbs to sample all and again, stellar coffee. Love this place and those who work here. Keep up the great work! read more

You can smell the roasting beans from outside when you pull up. The staff is very friendly on explaining the different bean types/locations, and then breaking down the type of flavor I want in my brew. I don't have a grinder at home but of course, they had one on site and ready to brew to my specific needs (cold brewing at home). My weekly stop is to pick up a bag and bring that roasted scent into my home. read more

Third Coast Coffee is my go to roaster these days, and I live in Houston! Thanks for shipping me some of the best coffee I drink and keeping me awake! I usually get the double french as part of my order, but I do like some of their other beans like the Honey Processed Honduras and Rwanda. You really can't go wrong with anything they roast. Very good product descriptions by the way. Keep up the good work and good coffee Third Coast. read more

First, let me preface by saying that I am one of those coffee snobs that you sometimes get annoyed with for wanting the absolute best coffee. When I heard about Third Coast Coffee Roasters I was both curious and excited to try some of their beans. I just had my first cup of their El Chapo Espresso today and it's WONDERFUL! It definitely surpassed my expectations. I came in not knowing what to get and the staff was very helpful in getting the perfect bag of beans picked out. Be sure to check this place out if you're on the south side. There's a huge selection of specialty and organic coffees for only $9 a pound PLUS you can get a free cup of whatever they're brewing for the day during your visit. Ditch the $5 Starbucks, and get yourself some quality coffee to brew in the comfort of your home...trust me you'll thank me later. ;) read more

Though in a warehouse environment, the smell of fresh roasted coffee beans fills the air the moment you open your car door. Great coffee in a wide array of varietals. You actually walk into the coffee roasting site where there is a small store you can make purchase of your preferred roast. The ambiance is somewhat that of coffee production, not a coffee shop if that's what you are looking for. Knowledgeable employees available to help you find what you are looking for. read more

Austin still promotes itself as the "Live Music Capital of the World," but I've been living here a while now, and I'll tell you exactly what we're good at: 1. Austin is the "Live Food Truck Capital of the World." 2. Austin is the "Live Whole Foods Capital of the World." 3. Austin is the "Live Texans-who-eat-BBQ-but-vote-Democrat Capital of the World." Oh yeah, and maybe one more: Austin is the "Live Coffee Roasting Capital of the World." Seattle & San Francisco may have more boutique roasters, but they're not capitals & grunge is so 1990. If you've had a really good cup of coffee from an Austin coffeehouse or hipster restaurant recently, it's probably from one of our own local roasters. You won't confuse their stuff with Folgers. And I'm starting to bore myself - the bottom line is Third Coast Coffee beans will cost you $11.99 for twelve ounces at Whole Foods or Central Market, but $9 for sixteen ounces at their South Congress roasting facility. For the exact same stuff. I think Forrest Gump once said, "I'm not a smart man, but I know what a good coffee deal is." They're open weekdays until 6, you won't go wrong with the Yirgacheffe, and I'm just a big fan of their Third Coast Blend & classic Double French. And while you're buying, you can enjoy a cup of whatever the staff's brewing. There's also a buck-off Yelp check-in coupon. Seriously, what gets better than that? Okay, maybe peas & carrots, lightly sautéed. read more

Third Coast Coffee Roasting Company - Pretty much the entire store. At $9 a pound for everything, it's pretty fantastic. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Third Coast isn't a cafe but rather a coffee roaster. When you walk in, you can see the roasting machines at work. Although they do not sell cups of coffee, lattes, etc., free samples are available. The cold brew, Frios Mio, is brewed from a blend of coffee, and is very smooth with a pleasant acidity. It also has a slight thickness, and chocolatey character, which is nice. The Double French is one of the darkest roasts I've ever had. It is taken as far as coffee can go before being burnt. But it is surprisingly pleasant for such dark coffee. The Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Natural is the absolute standout. Very light, distinct floral character and pleasant acidity. This is an excellent coffee to drink black. I recommend a visit to Third Coast. read more

I am extremely picky about my coffee and I love this place. I regularly order their Decaf Peru. It's a wonderful, dark medium-full bodied decaf. Rich flavor and mouthfeel. Great brewed as pour-over or as part of a latte. USDA organic, water processed, and fair trade. And good news for us non-Austin locals -- they ship! Michael knows my order -- 2 lbs every 2 weeks -- and is super awesome and friendly, but then again everyone I've been in contact with at Third Coast has been awesome. Y'all rock. I'm happy to support you with my dollars! read more

I love their coffee, as does my better half, and have been buying it for a year or so from whole foods and central market in Dallas. Their website is very informative and I have called and asked questions and they are always so helpful. We went well out of our way on the way back from vacation to stop by their roasting facility. We purchased fresh coffee (roasted 2 days before) and although they dont sell coffees like Americanos etc., they offered me some coffee to try and told us to help ourselves to creamer. Again, so nice. I was slightly disappointed in the facility. All you can see at the front are pounds of coffee for sale. I had envisioned the front area to be more like the coffee areas in whole-foods, nicely decorated and nice counter where I could purchase some coffee and chill for a while. But, they are a roasters and not a coffee store so the fault was in my expectations. It also seems some yelpers were offered a tour, which we weren't. There is probably a lot more to see where they are roasting and doing their magic! read more

I've been drinking coffee since I was 8 (it's okay, I'm South American). I like a nice dark roast and I drink it black. One problem that you can encounter is bitterness when you drink your coffee in this fashion. When I met Linda who had a stand set up at Fresh Plus, that was how she got me. "Our dark roast is not bitter." She's right. It's not. I sampled and purchased the Italian Dark Roast and I'm a happy woman. I have a coffee maker that has the grinder built in and every time I pass through the kitchen to the back of the house I will stop dead in my tracks as the scent of the beans reach my nose. It's so arresting. I've actually forgotten why I was headed to the other part of the house thanks to the beans. I need to stop by one day and check out the facility as I would love to see it. Meanwhile you can buy it at Fresh Plus and also online. I'm sure they are in other stores too, but this is what I know. Happy coffee drinking. ;) read more

Great coffee and great owners. New location on Old Manchaca is huge. The building is awesome and the roasted coffee beans smell wonderful.

The best coffee! If you want to know what Austin really is. Come here! Friendly down to earth real people with a world class product! Awesome coffee products as well! Brewers, storage, cups etc. I'm my top 10 Austin stores! read more

The most delicious coffee. We have been buying our coffee here for years. Good prices and friendly staff too!

Good coffee. Nice staff. Our regular go to for espresso beans. Second style we tried even better than first.

We spent a morning visiting the roasting company and were pleasantly surprised by how friendly and helpful they were! We met Logan, one of their roasters, who took time to show us around and gave us a tour of the facility. We also met several of the other staff who helped us choose beans based on our preferences. We tasted two of the samples they had on that day and ended up buying four pounds of coffee to take home with us (Colombian, Vino Negro, and two pounds of the "frio mio" cold brew blend), along with a Third Coast mug! We will definitely be back the next time we are in Austin and hope to see them expand beyond Texas in the next few years. If you guys see this - thanks for showing us around! read more

I'm new to Austin and was in search of good coffee. Thankfully Third Coast is located right on South Congress. Laid back staff and atmosphere made it inviting. And you can smell the roasting from a few blocks away mmmmmm! I've only tried the breakfast blend, but the layers of flavor in it are really smooth. Going back for more! read more

I love this place and they're so nice here. I got a growler of their cold brew last time and it just lasted a week! It was so good.

I order about 8 pounds a month from Third coast to feed my espresso addiction. I've never received any coffee roasted more than a week before I received it via shipment ( I live in North Austin). The roasts are perfectly consistent from batch to batch and I love the fact that they are about half the cost of other local roasters so I'm more inclined to spend 9 bucks to try a pound of something I normally wouldn't try. You're getting third wave quality for HEB prices. What's not to love. read more

The best fresh-roasted coffee I've found anywhere, amazing customer service, delivery times, the whole shebang is utter class. 5 stars is well justified. read more

These guys got me through the pandemic. Awesome pickup service and the coffee beans will elevate you. Fast and kind service.

Third Coast Coffee isn't located on my way to someplace else. I'd drive up Mt. Bonnell if that's where they were. I've lived near Barton Springs forever, and discovered the best roastery on the planet when the business was in its infancy. Lucky me!! Their inventory features absolutely the best coffee ever, and they do everything RIGHT. You guys take a big bow!!! --Polly read more

I got their freshly roasted Honey processed Honduras coffee and it is amazing. Loving it and will come back for more. Thank you.

There are some businesses with people so honest and committed, with business practices so sincere, and with products beyond compare, that you feel compelled to share such gems with others. Third Coast Coffee is a shining example. From their modest storefront, you'd hardly expect to leave with cherished black gold in a cup, but that's precisely what you'll get. You may also come away with an thoughtful discussion, and make a friend or two, but that's just part of the total experience that Third Coast has to offer. They even gave my 6 year old son a lesson in coffee roasting on one visit, which not remotely the type of education you'll earn at your local Starbucks. I luxuriated in several of their outstanding coffees before landing on the El Salvador, which is an intoxicatingly deep and satin-smooth brew that sits on an entirely distinct, divine plane from other beans. No matter how challenging my day may look in the morning, just the thought of this coffee (freshly ground and paired with my Aeropress) is enough to put a spring in my step and throw a sanguine outlook on my day. If this all sounds like too much, then you probably just haven't had the chance for such an experience yet through Third Coast. I hope you do. UPDATE 1/2/13: I'm a scientist, so I love to experiment. I had read raves about super high-end "Bulletproof" Coffee, which seems to be almost universally lauded. Stuff costs $23 for 0.75 lb (with shipping). So I tried it ( using my Aeropress, of course). It was good, yes. But the El Salvador totally BURIES it....at $9/lb. As an aside, I noticed that the guy that hawks Bulletproof coffee also recommends Third Coast "site unseen": http://www.bulletproofexec.com/3-steps-to-finding-the-highest-performance-coffee-in-your-city/ read more

Unroasted green coffee beans at $5.50/lb. Roasted beans at $9/lb. The guy asked me what kind of coffee I like. I said: Funky, earthy, leathery, aged, monsooned. He then recommended the Ethiopian Sidamo dry-processed, which I grabbed 2 unroasted pounds of for a great price. They had some of it brewed up - it smelled and tasted like goat cheese - how's that for funky?! I love it. I also bought a half-pound of the roasted wet-processed Sidamo, which wasn't funky but had very bright notes, like eating ripe fruit - great stuff. While they don't have a huge selection, what they do have is top notch. It's worth a visit here to get the beans at a good discount. read more

I just realized I've been ordering from them for almost 10 years and never left a review. The beans are fresh and top notch. Prices are fair and the customer service is world class. They are quick to get things shipped and I've just never had an issue. What more can I say if you love coffee check them out. The live what they do. read more

DELICIOUS COFFEE. This isn't a coffee shop, it's a roastery. In other words, don't go expecting to sit down and have a cup of joe or work. However, if you want to buy some delicious freshly roasted local coffee, then this is your place!! Light roast recommendation: Coyona Natural Medium roast recommendation: Moka Java Dark roast recommendation: Double French will blow your mind. For bulletproof style: I used Moka Java to make some butter and honey coffee this morning. It. Is. Awesome. read more

TO MY HOUSTON PEEPS: I just drank some of the best coffee I've ever had! I'm not a coffee connoisseur by any means, but I do like good coffee. I usually stick to basic medium-roast blends, and not a fan of artificially flavored coffee. I recently heard good things about Austin's Third Coast Coffee, and you could get it at Whole Foods in Houston where I live. I finally found it at the Alabama/Kirby location in 12 ounce packages. Just by the look of the package, you could tell it was locally roasted and packaged. When I picked up a package, you could smell the wonderful aroma of the coffee beans through the package...it smelled like heaven! I looked on the bottom of the package and saw the coffee was roasted on July 23, 2013...and the date I was in Whole Foods was FOUR DAYS LATER...Saturday, July 27!! No wonder it smelled so fresh! I ended up purchasing the Columbia roast. On the package you will find a description of the specific coffee roast, the batch lot number and the actual farm in Columbia where it was grown. You can even trace your coffee on the Third Coast website. I only drink coffee in the morning, so I couldn't wait until the next morning (Sunday) to try it. Wow. This had to be the smoothest-tasting, well-balanced coffee I ever had! It was a true medium roast with a slight caramel, buttery taste that lingered on your taste buds after you drank it. And I don't have a fancy-schmancy ultra-expensive or exotic coffee maker or grinder. I have a ten year-old Krups ProAroma coffee maker, and a $20 Krups grinder. When using freshly ground coffee beans, I do use Melitta #4 super premium natural brown cone filters (instead of the Krups gold filter) that doesn't leave sediment at the bottom of the pot. The 12-ounce bag at Whole Foods sold for $12.49. But when you consider it was just roasted four days earlier (in Austin) and how wonderful it tasted, it was well worth it! I can't wait to try some of the other varieties! read more

Such a cool place. I love that we got to go behind the bar and make up cups of coffee just like we were family or friends. I got the milk out of the fridge and the hanging chipped coffee cup off the wall. It just made it feel so inviting. They have the roasting going on out in the open so you can see what's up, smell beans and talk coffee with the other coffee nerds. We grabbed a couple of bags to bring home. Both smelled really unique and I am dying to put them in my mouth :) The coffee we tried when we were there was the Nicaragua. It was bright without being overly acidic and tasted like something you would want to drink with a good book and a cat in your lap. Think comfort food coffee. We will be back next time we are in town for sure. read more

I have been going here for about a year now and have yet to find a coffee they make that I don't really enjoy and the prices are very fair for the fair trade coffees they offer. With the virus, it is great that they are in business and will either arrange for pick up or will ship via UPS to my door. I ordered Tuesday night and it was on my door Thursday morning. Please support this business in these changing times. read more

Love Third Coast! Be aware this isn't a coffee SHOP, but it's pretty much the only place I go to buy whole bean coffee in Austin. Really friendly people, and they have a great selection of beans. Everything is roasted fresh. So fresh, that I usually have to wait a day or two to start brewing! Can't be beat, especially for only $9 a pound! read more

Third Coast Coffee is the best! A friend from work (Thanks Judy) turned me on to Third Coast. Finished the gift pound, then went to their South Congress location for more. It's addictive. They didn't have the coffee that I wanted available there, but there were plenty more to choose from. I bought a pound of Italian Roast, and a pound of Mexico beans. We were looking for something I would like, and they let me smell the Mexico beans. I stuck my head in the bucket (if that paints a weird picture, it was really over the bucket, not deep inside), and didn't want to take it out. It was a smell directly from heaven. Needless to say, both the Italian and Mexico beans are being thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. I recommend going by their store. Great people, great buckets. Their coffee is unbelievable. read more
