Mozart's Cafe was such a pleasant surprise. I stopped by on a Tuesday night because I wanted a hot…read morecup of coffee after dinner, and I was so happy to find a place open until midnight when most other coffee shops were already closed. That alone made it a great find, but what made the experience even better was discovering that they also had live entertainment on Tuesday night until 11. It turned a simple coffee stop into a really enjoyable evening. I ordered a coffee and a brownie, and while the total was a little on the expensive side, around $15 or $16, it felt completely worth it to me. The quality was there, and everything felt a bit more gourmet than your average coffee shop stop. The brownie was delicious, the coffee was exactly what I wanted, and the overall atmosphere made the price feel justified. Between the free entertainment, the beautiful decor, and the location, it felt like much more than just paying for coffee and dessert. One of the best parts of the experience was the setting. Being right on the water made it especially beautiful at night. You can enjoy your drink, take a walk, look at the lights, and just soak in the scenery. It was the perfect place to unwind after a heavy meal and a long workday. Since I was only in Austin for work and do not live in the area, I was really glad I found somewhere that felt special and relaxing instead of just functional. The staff was also very friendly, which added a lot to the experience. Good service always makes a difference, and here it made the place feel even more welcoming. Overall, I definitely recommend Mozart's Cafe if you are looking for a late-night coffee spot with charm, scenery, and a unique atmosphere. I would absolutely go back again.

I love that their tacos are so meaty, flavorful and so enjoyable to eat. In retrospect, I should've bought two instead of one, however, I did not want to overdose on tacos today. Just like a number of businesses, Mozart's coffee roasters are featuring Easter related items. They have the cutest little sugar cookies with a Easter theme. My server was friendly and quick. So, was in and out in lightning speed.

Anderson's Coffee Company is one of the coolest stores I have been to in some time. A friend…read morerecommended this store for coffee. They sell coffee by the pound, likely for those serious coffee lovers who have fancy expensive coffee machines. I was looking for a latte. Bad news...this coffee company sells coffee by the pound not lattes (hence the name). Good news... they sell drip coffee for $2.00 + tax. What a deal! This family owned shop has been roasting beans locally since 1972 and focuses on helping customers brew excellent coffee at home rather than serving coffee drinks on premises. According to the store manager, Mr. Anderson occasionally comes into the store. The selection of freshly roasted beans is rather larger, with store favorites like Guatemala Antiqua, Dark Sumatra and Arabian Mocha cited as most popular. Coffee cost on average $19 per pound. In addition to coffee, the store carries loose leaf teas, mugs, candy, cards, coffee pot sweaters, brewing equipment, and small other gift items, to name just a few items. I was totally and completely enamored with this store. They had so many trinkets and interesting items, you literally could peruse for hours. Captivating environment...Loved it...

Not only is it small business and family-owned (which I love), they have a variety of artisan chocolates, mugs, and cute cards in addition to their extensive coffee collection. They have a room that is devoted to only Miya products, which is my favorite Japanese teaware brand for anyone looking for good quality teapots! The only thing I wish was that they also served fresh brewed coffee there for us to taste.

And although the coffee tasted good, I couldn't taste any lavender, which was surprising. So, I ended up asking if I could have some extra lavender syrup, and offered to pay for it. They kindly acquiesced to my request and didn't charge me. The barista added three pumps of lavender syrup to an espresso cup for me to add to my Blue Moon. After adding it, I was able to detect a hint of lavender and noticed a slight uptick in sweetness. Since there was a tiny bit left of the syrup left in the espresso cup, I tasted that which was delicious! Overall, I think this place has great coffee and cane-sugar based syrups. I would suggest that you taste things before you leave though, in case you want to adjust them. There is ample parking and the staff is kind and efficient!

Radio Rosewood is easily the smallest space of them all, but it has this neighborhood charm that the size of both their main location on Manchaca and Radio//East lack. It adds this entirely new level of comfort to Radio. They have brunch options, as I saw people getting served, but I come to Radio for their drinks most times. I got a Spiced Maple Oat Latte that was excellent. The staff is so welcoming that you wish you could stay longer. I'll have to come back and give this location more attention. RIYL: Radio, but smaller. Like a pocket radio.

Radio Rosewood wants to keep the party going all day and late into the night, offering food outside of "goes with coffee" and a beautifully appointed bar. Having said this, I just needed coffee, so my review is going to focus on that. The featured coffees here are roasted by their own RCB Roasters, and my selection was their Ethiopian Guji, promising some nice acidity and brightness from its lighter leaning roast profile. The coffee "space" is compact here, but they're using good gear and seem to have the staff to use it well. My espresso was served with sparking water, and was just as I'd hoped, a bright cup with citrus acidity that was well structured, but not overly acidic or bitter at all. It was a winner all around. I'll have to get back in for an adult beverage on my next visit, but I was pleased to see that us coffee lovers can still get a good "fix" here!

I stopped in for a late afternoon pick-me-up and ordered the seasonal Earl Grey matcha latte. So good! The Earl Grey added a light, fragrant twist to the matcha without overpowering it, which made the drink feel really balanced and unique. I ended up hanging out for a bit to read a chapter of my book before heading out. It's the kind of place where you could easily get some work done, study, or just enjoy a quiet break with a good drink.

Food wise they do have kolaches that can be warmed up and they also have food trucks that open once 11:30-12 pm hits. Great place to study and the wifi was strong!

Nice space, good mix of seating, wifi, local feel, and friendly staff. Their seasonal drinks were usually fun, the bottled horchata cold brew was great when they actually had it, and buying a quart of regular cold brew was convenient. I also remember them being one of the first places around here doing nitro cold brew. No pour overs, but the drip was solid enough when you wanted something hot. I still own a couple of their t-shirts, so clearly I liked the place. The issue is getting there. The lot is small, uneven, and full of bumps, rocks, and holes, which is not easy when you use a cane. They used to have a handicap space, but the line faded and the sign disappeared. I would drive by hoping for parking, but that intersection is not one I want to circle around more than once. Even going with my husband, it could still be awkward to get in from some spots. For me, it just stopped being worth the effort. These days I usually go to Dog Days instead. It is still a walk from the garage, but much easier to navigate.
