As an alum I might be bias, however, this shop is arranged well and has SO many amazing options. If you're looking for UT gifts or something for yourself this is the place to be! Free garage parking if you buy something, I believe. I was so surprised to see a Longhorn Yeti, I had to get one for myself. Friendly employees and helpful

I really loved coming here, but the prices and lack of my size was a big turn off. This place had a bit of everything, golf shirts, leggings, plushies, cups and tumblers, anything that you could slap a UT logo on they pretty much sell. They had a bunch of employees walking around and working but none if them were readily available to help answer questions I had which was a little upsetting. Honestly, this place seemed more like a big gimmick, of course if you go to campus here then you should totally stop by and get something to support your school. But I certainly don't see myself coming back here, the prices were way too high to be enjoyed

Great gift shop for UT students/parents or for any longhorn fans. Great selection of merchandise and small gifts. All their profit goes to scholarship as well. Picked up a few gifts from there on my visit. Loved this place!

Relocating to NM makes getting our UT stuff difficult. Buying on line doesn't have the same feel. So, no trip here is complete with out a stop at the Co-op for our orange & white fix. Plus it benefits student programs. A win-win. So bought enough to last us until the next trip. Students, former students & alumni already know about this. But for you fans this is the place for all things Texas. Hook 'em Horns!

Had a blast looking thru this store. It's all items for Texas University and then some. If your a LONG HORNS supporter / lover I'm sure you'll pull away with bags of swag. I really enjoyed how the store teamed up with clothing designer Ralph Lauren's "POLO" and created a Texas orange polo logo shirt for them. NIKE also joined I on the fan front and they have a section of cloths for fans. Me, I grabbed a Texas flag pair of shorts lay around the house. But the BBQ section has some amazing flat iron grill pans I gotta grab. Forget the golf balls it's all about grilling. Whatever your looking for I'm sure they have something you'll enjoy. GO LONGHORNS!!!!

I have lived in Austin almost 5yrs and in that time I had never really explored the Drag or Campus. I came upon the CoOp after a friend was showing us around and said this was a place to see in and of itself (the amount of Longhorn gear in here is mind-blowing...you think you know, but you don't). We explored almost everywhere and I was in awe of all the memorabilia, the kitsch, and UT paraphernalia along with any and every item of clothing imaginable with a longhorn. It really is a sight to behold! I did like that they do carry other things as well, such as music & tech stuff, student bric-a-brac, and non-longhorn adorned tshirts. There is this cool little tshirt corner that has some neat ATX specific tshirts (nice quality cotton) one of which I ended up buying because it has the "Hi How Are You?" Alien (which is one of my fav ATX icons). I was surprised that it was very reasonably priced ($16.99) for being a college store. They also have an outlet center w/furniture on the 2nd flr and what looked to be a box office on the first flr as you walk out the back towards the food trailer park. Definitely worth a look around if you are ever wandering the Drag, if you want a good on-campus tshirt find, or want ANYTHING with a longhorn on it! Fun Find: There are "mystery stairs" (only because I didn't explore where they went) that have a really cool campus tower mural!

Parking is non-existent but you can find street parking within a few blocks, along side streets.

I'm not sure if the gentleman who checked me out was the owner or a regular employee. Regardless, he did not have a friendly disposition when checking me out. (I am a woman of color for reference) he didn't even greet me which is a simple courtesy. I had to ask him "hey, how are you today" to which he didn't respond and just told me the balance I owed. My fellow friend (white male) checked out right after me and he greeted him! He also asked him how he wanted his items wrapped. (We both had the same items) If the store itself wasn't so nice and full of good merchandise/gifts I would've given it an even lower rating. To management: please know and remind your employees that even a simple hello goes a long way Edit: This seems to be a trend going years back (looking at reviews) with this business and their discriminatory practices. There are better local shops with less AI slop to patronize

Alright, so it took me about six years to return to this place because I had some major PTSD from…read morean employee (who still happens to work here unfortunately). However, this time was a lot different and I was able to find the perfect gifts for my friend's birthday as well as fun items for myself. It seems like the selection has remained the same although Atown is keeping up with current and modern trends. For example, there were a lot of ICE based items tucked away as well as current celebrity crushes who are on everybody's minds. The coolest thing I found was a James Talarico candle but other than that, a lot of the items that were for sale were pretty kitschy and I believe they are the same wholesale items I have seen before. I must shoutout the incredibly helpful service from Audrey who went above and beyond to help me find items for my friend's birthday. She was super sweet, and I would've been wandering around the store aimlessly if it wasn't for her direction. Additionally, she even came up with combination gift ideas which was pretty sick. Atown is lucky to have her! I think my PTSD is no longer because of her assistance. Great store, unfortunately high prices. However, no one does it like Atown!

There are 3 or 4 separate areas you can visit and they have things from locally made earrings and art to coasters, desk plates, rubber ducks of famous people, religious candles with random famous people, funny socks, clothes, and so much more. The staff is friendly and outgoing, they even had a woman at the door greeting you and offering you a hand basket if you wanted or needed one. There were 3 or 4 cashiers and at least one lady walking around greeting you and seeing if they could help. It is pricier then your chain store but the products are cooler, unique, and many times locally made. Things you can't get at other stores or amazon. Like so many places, it's one downside is parking. It is a small lot, if you part in front you basically have to back in to spot blocking traffic or back out into traffic. There is a small side lot that is better but you basically have to 3 point turn out of that spot. Always willing to pay a bit more to support local. We don't get out of our area/comfort zone much but we do love this place. #Supportlocal

When I inquired more specifically, I learned that those were not "the Dubai chocolates." I appreciate the sales associate's honesty. They have a plethora of wall hangings.

From pillows to placemats to notepads to candles to sweaters and shirts and comforters and pet items. Oh my! This store has so many fun products that are great gift giving ideas at reasonable prices. I visited from California on a work trip and super bummed I didn't bring a bigger suitcase because I would've bought so many gifts to give. I believe this store is female owned, and have store locations throughout the south. Their staff is sweet and accommodating, and every gift comes with a beautiful gift wrapping that's complementary. They have plenty of parking as they are part of a mall and there is tons of parking stalls. Can't wait to come back and visit this store on my next work trip. It will definitely be on my list of things to do when I visit Austin, Texas and in the mood for shopping.
