He was going to walk to the Meteor to grab a coffee and I politely said no thank you. He then comes back handing me this green goddess saying he went to Pura Vida instead. A little back story. I love me a matcha but am not a matcha latte fan. I don't know if its the mixing it with milk, or sometimes it's way too sweet, or sometimes it doesn't give me a good matcha energy for the price....but I've tried my fair share and had decided maybe it's not meant to be. Until this one. Enter Coconut.Cloud.Matcha. As I took my first sip expecting an underwhelming tradition of matcha latte experiences - my taste buds did a double take. One sip guys. Wow'd me. Also just now realizing as I type this... I'm not even a coconut fan! But the blend, the precision of ingredients.... not too sweet at all. The hint of coconut but not too much. And the embracing of the flavor of matcha. The hubs got their seasonal iced coffee and a tropical pink guava for the kiddos. He starred the coffee higher than other local coffee spots and the juice is now his favorite. You've made a matcha latte believer out of me again. Well done, Pura Vida, well done.

It was a coconut based iced latte. Extremely smooth, cream, and actual coconut strips in the coffee. The coffee is the star where they do a good job of balancing the flavors without being too sweet. If you have ever drank coffee and noticed a "clean" coffee kick, I felt this way from this drink. To me the coffee beans are roasted well and come of good quality. The wife ordered the guava matcha. Similiar response where the flavors are rich and smooth. Good balance with guava and matcha. Not chalky. Really balanced. Top 3 of the coffee/matcha places during our trip to Austin. It's great to the degree we would come back if we're in SOCO. It's an outside lot with tables and outside coverings. Depends on the weather but generally chill to hang out. The coffee shop we went to has music playing outside, so low key vibes when you're just enjoying your coffee/day.

The owner was very friendly. He told me about their run club on Thursday mornings at 7:30. There are picnic tables for sitting and sipping. Very nice setting!

They had kolaches and breakfast tacos. We had just eaten so I didn't get to try any of those, but I got their peach cobbler matcha from the seasonal menu. You can see the chunks of peach but really couldn't taste any until the end of my drink. Overall it's a less sweet matcha if that's your preference but I was hoping for a sweeter and more peach forward drink.

Every drink can be customized to your preferred sweetness (I went sweeter because I have a serious sweet tooth), and it was absolutely perfect. The texture was so smooth and velvety, and the banana flavor was pretty apparent, it was rich, balanced, and the entire latte didn't taste artificial. The tropical decor gives such a fun, cozy vibe, and the service was lovely. Our the barista was welcoming. I honestly wish this place was busier because they deserve it. It's in a food truck area with other great options nearby, making it easy to grab lunch and coffee together. Plus, it's dog-friendly since it's outdoors! Can't wait to come back and try their matcha next!

There is only one opening to the building and it is the check in/ POS space. So for employees to get in and out of the building they need to move the entire counter to shimmy themselves into a small brick building. And yet, They have a line around the corner. It is easy to see why, the team at the service counter and friendly and well-informed. They have great drink suggestions and you can tell they care about their product. Their is a latte for everyone and the seasonal rotation keeps it fresh. If you're not adventurous(or visiting from out of town), just go with their specialty latte: grapefruit brown sugar latte. It is well-balanced and you wont be disappointed. On another note: Logistically, this place is kind of a nightmare, where do the employees go to the bathroom??? Why is everything pushed up next to each other?? How do they pass any type of inspection?? Is there even a fire exit?? But who cares, no big deal, their coffee is delicious and their lattes fresh and inspired.

The line always moves pretty quickly, the staff is warm and friendly and the coffee & matcha are delicious. I tend to be a no flavor in my coffee kind of gal cause I fear it'll be too sweet. However last time I was there I got their homemade banana syrup in my iced flat white and I have not stopped thinking about it, I'm going back this weekend.

It was a hot day when I came so I ended up getting an iced turkish delight latte which was very nice! Similar to one I'd had in Chicago although I think this one was a little more authentic (less sweet, and at the end of it I saw thick stuff in the bottom which I assume is turkish delight infused in there). The guy working that day was also nice, and gave good recs/explained the Persian coffee concept to me. Would come back if passing by for sure!
