    Surprise latte
    Jordyn M.

    10/10 decor and interior design for sticking to a theme and following through. Ambience is there and they had lots of large croissants and vegan friendly items. The drinks themselves I feel are overpriced with a signature latte being around $7.50 -$9. It is a very pretty drink when fresh as you drink, they color somewhat resembles dirty paint water and loses its visual appeal and potentially stained lips. I prefer my lattes to be espresso forward and felt the syrups and milk took more of a lead. I think if you want a cozy place to sit down and have breakfast, the extra price may be meaningful. But likely not a place I'd order or take drinks out to go.

    Everything we ordered was incredible!!! The food was fresh and tasted delicious.. drinks were on point but wasn't a fan of all the different colors in my latte. The employees seemed very overwhelmed. Ambiance was amazing but chairs do need a good cleaning. Absolutely worth the hype!

    the inside is decorated nicely and is so cute! The food is all vegan-I didn't know that going in. I got an omelette but it was missing that extra flavor only meat could give. The hazelnut croissant was pretty good. They have WiFi and it's a good place to hang out and eat some pastries. Keep in mind they close at 4 pm.

    This place is so cute!! Although the prices can be high, I found that the portion size matched it. It's $7.50 for a huge croissant with filling inside. I got the chocolate hazelnut and it was like nutella inside but better. There are a lot of options - tea, pastries, cake, and even savory meal options. My friend ordered an omelette which was yummy and the cheese inside tasted like queso. I wasn't a fan of the olives though. Worker was nice and helped bring my order to the table when I had no hands. They have plenty of small tables, but it wasn't very busy when I came so it was quiet but not too quiet. They have really nice music - classical instrumental style that plays modern songs. Even the utensils are cute - gold color with a patina! My only concern is that the seats are all made of velvety fabric so I hope they steam clean them often! :D I would definitely come back to get some work done on my laptop here! Wifi was reliable.

    Was overdue for another review update...the food here never disappoints. They recently posted on social media that they've been slow/need help for business, so we came out around noon on a Saturday and got a feast. Food was 10/10- I had the lemon pepper tofu toast and my husband had the smokey avocado toast. Only thing...it did take 45 minutes for it to come out and it wasn't all that crowded. And the employee working at the counter wasn't very kind. BUT usually their service is great so probably just a fluke. And then...please please try the Dubai chocolate cake. Omg it's out of this world-best thing we've tried so far and that's saying a lot because we love everything there :)

    Unicorniverse has a super cute interior and the drinks are delicious but you can expect to pay an inflated price since it's plant-based and aesthetically pleasing. Still, it's a great spot to grab a coffee, tea, and pastry or dessert with a friend or loved one as a treat! FAST FACTS: * Parking - it's in a strip center so there's plenty of parking available out front even when it's busy * Reservations - no... all seating is first come, first serve * Online ordering - available on their website through ToastTab * Everything is plant-based so it's dairy-free and vegan * Gluten free options available (all macarons and some other menu items) SERVICE - You order at the counter and they give you a pager that goes off when your order is ready to be picked up. The workers are all very friendly but it took a bit to get our drinks. We arrived at 10:00 am on a Sunday and there was no line and only about 3 other groups of customers seated but it took 20 minutes to get 2 cappuccinos. PRICING - The total was $14.07 after tax ($1.07) but before tip for 2 regular cappuccinos ($6.50 each). Even with a milk alternative and for a specialty coffee shop, this seems pretty expensive. CAPPUCCINO (9/10) - It was expensive but WOW was it delicious! It comes with oat milk since everything they serve is plant based. I am not vegan or dairy-free so the milk choice doesn't matter much to me but the overall flavor was amazing! I didn't add any flavoring or sweetener to it... it was perfect on it's own. I'd order this again! This was my first time ordering anything at Unicorniverse and I will definitely be back to try some of the pastries and sweet treats! It's expensive but the quality definitely supports the price. I'd recommend Unicorniverse to others in the area looking for a coffee or baked good, whether they are vegan or not.

    I came here as a solo daytime activity for my birthday and had a wonderful time. I ordered an afternoon tea and could see some jealous stares from other patrons bc of how good everything looked! Firstly, everything is vegan which is already a huge plus! I am vegetarian and often times, afternoon teas include small finger sandwiches that contain things that I can't eat so this was perfect for me. Secondly, this is probably the most reasonably priced afternoon tea in Austin. You get a ton of food for a fraction of the cost at some other places. Now on to my actual experience: the afternoon tea consists of one pot of tea and a three tiered platter with savory, semi savory, and sweet options. Overall, I enjoyed the food but some of it wasn't to my liking. I can be a picky eater with an aversion to vegan cheese which is why some of the options didn't tickle my fancy. The deserts however, were wonderful! I do wish that they also had some plain scones with a vegan clotted cream or jam. The bakery itself is GORGEOUS and totally instagram worthy (or just perfect for feeling like high royalty). They played a lot of classical instrumental versions of popular modern day music (think: bridgerton soundtrack). The staff was also incredibly sweet and helpful in picking out a tea. They seemed like they really enjoyed their jobs. I even encountered them conducting a job interview and one of the employees was talking about how they love coming in to work everyday. Overall, it's such a great spot and I can't wait to come back to try their croissants

    Extremely cute, whimsical environment -- from the furnishings to the light fixtures, wall decor and music, it was themed very intentionally and beautifully. It really set the stage. Unfortunately, my excitement waned after receiving my food and drink order. First of all, do we need to use buzzers in a small cafe, or could the items be delivered? My Italian fromage sandwich was dripping with grease. I was hoping for something that was light and fresh based on the menu description. I was super excited to see a London Fog on the menu, and the latte artwork was a super cute touch. But the latte was lukewarm and there was a strange artificial taste, almost like Splenda or some other sugar substitute. I was looking forward to maybe having afternoon tea service here, but my impression is really that this is another made-for-Instagram spot where food and beverage quality don't match the level of aesthetic. Sad!

    OMG....this place stole my heart! I live downtown and had no idea that this café even existed! I was out running errands in my workout clothes and when I walked through the door I immediately felt underdressed and I almost turned around, but then I realized that there was another lady working in the same attire that I had on. I put my shame aside and walked past the patrons dressed for afternoon tea and made a beeline for the counter. When I got over my embarrassment, I started to feel as if I was in a French café. The décor is so pretty, the pastries behind the glass counter looked almost too beautiful to eat and then my ears perked up when I realized that they were playing music from Bridgerton! I am a HUGE fan! Well done to whoever owns this charming café! The attention to detail is perfect and almost as perfect as my pistachio and cream croissant! I plan to be in the neighborhood again soon and when I stop by this time, I will make sure that I am dressed appropriately.

    Alyssa M.

    This place was absolutely beautiful. The aesthetic is what drew me in. The staff was very nice, patient and attentive. I tried the le vert sandwich and it was phenomenal! I only wish they had something with meat on the menu. The enchanted delight drink was good but nothing special to me. In my opinion, it didn't have much flavor. I'd go again maybe to take pictures and to try other pastries but it was a little pricey for me to pay roughly 40 for a sandwich, drink and pastry

    Biscoff Croissant and Butterfly Pea Latte.
    Chanel B.

    As soon as I opened the door I definitely stepped into a magical universe! The decor is absolutely beautiful! Candy assisted me and she was so kind. She took her time to explain some menu items and offered great suggestions. I ordered the biscoff croissant with a butterfly pea latte w/wild berry flavor added. Both were delicious! The croissant had a cream filling as well and had an amazing flaky texture. As I headed out I was told to have a magical day and indeed it was!

    While this restaurant is vegan, make no mistake, they are far from lacking flavor and creativity. While turquoise is my favorite color, it was the impeccable care the staff takes in making every item that had my attention. Wait times are long for that reason but order a bite from the bakery case to tide you over and let your patience be rewarded.

    Small, hot, Unicorn Classic latte w Oat milk and plain croissant

    Cashier made a negative impact on my experience. Young, tall, bright red, maroonish hair, bright artificial color contacts. I was looking at menu while she was cashing out customers ahead of me. Apparently she finished with them but did not let me know. She just glared at me, decided herself that I was taking too long, and just proceeded to fulfill the entirety of prior customer order. I'd like to point out that she did NOT say excuse me while I work on their order. Or have you decided, if not take your time and I'll work on their order. Nope, no acknowledgement except the condescending glare. She then proceeds to take almost an entire 10 minutes. Not once did she acknowledge me at all. Did not say give me a moment or almost done. Just completely ignores my presence. After all that. Finally asks what she can get me with absolute zero apology . I was not standing around for 2-3 minutes. We're talking almost 10 minutes and no apology? For the order I clearly asked for a warmed, plain crosissant. Did I get it? Take a guess. Was there an explanation given for why not? Of course not. Is it possible they don't have a way to or choose not to. Ok great, but explain that. The cherry on top, she did not securely close the lid on my latte. Was that intentional or just sloppy? This is not the first time I had condescending service. Around when they first opened an older lady was just as dismissive. $6.00 for plain croissant. $8.00 for small maybe 8 or 12 Oz Unicorn Classic Latte. They do not have whole milk, only alternative milks. Latte was thin, no creaminess, no body. Also overly sweet even when I asked for light caramel. But she didn't listen to my request about croissant so she probably ignored this too. Almost no espresso flavor. Mainly tasted like sweet oat milk. The croissant is large, flaky, and buttery. But not worth the snobby, rude staff attitude.

    What is the wait time situation on Sunday mornings?

    Is this place kid friendly, like do they have high chairs and all?

    I'm not sure about high chairs, but I took my 5 & 2 year old and there were a few other toddlers there too! I will say the plates were ceramic so not super kid friendly on that front.

I ordered the Bad Ass Bacon & Eggs plate. It came with thick-cut bacon, 2 eggs, hash brown casserole, wheat toast, and smoked salsa. Bacon - 9/10 This wasn't your average thin breakfast bacon. Thick-cut, almost pork belly style, with killer flavor and very meaty. Eggs - 9/10 Cooked perfectly and tasted fresh. Simple, but done right. Hash Brown Casserole - 8/10 Different than what I expected, but in a good way. Unique flavor and a great addition to the plate. Salsa - 7/10 Very homemade style salsa with a smoky flavor. Different, but really good. Atmosphere - 9/10 Loved the vibe. Cozy atmosphere, great music, and just an overall comfortable place to sit and enjoy breakfast. If this place was closer to home, I'd eat here often. Service - 10/10 Excellent service. Christy H. was friendly, attentive, and on point the whole time. Overall - 9/10 Definitely a must-try breakfast spot in Austin. They currently have four locations, and after eating here, it's easy to see why.

The ambiance is upbeat. Playing top 40 type of music, folks are dressed comfortably, and the tables are a bit too close together but can easily to accommodate larger groups. Chicken and waffles. Had this one first. It served more like a main meal. Chicken was juicy, a bit more breading than expected but was easy to take it off. It was served with syrup and some sort of mayo/thousand island type mix. Grilled cheese & bisque. Had this one next. Should've been first because it had more of an appy feel. Waffles were nice and crispy, cheese was perfectly melted. I used the bisque for dipping but the also provided a spoon in case you want to continue on with it. Banana Love. Saved this one a dessert.

Unfortunately the griddle or pan the eggs were cooked on wasn't cleaned nor seasoned properly bc he took one bite and instantly noticed a "metal flavor" only for us to flip both eggs over and can physically see metal color covering the bottom of both eggs.
