I drink a damn lot of coffee. I grind away at massive Excel spreadsheets in an 8x8 cubicle until my…read moreeyes bleed. I have two kids that frequently interrupt my sleep, and I stay up too late surfing the web and playing video games. I yawn frequently. Coffee is very important to me. Based on financial audits performed by my concerned wife on my coffee drinking habit, I spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $150-$200 a month on coffee. That equates to approximately $2,000 per year, which is about the per capita GDP of Bangladesh. Now that I have established some minimum credibility in the area of coffee-consumption, allow me to state some opinions. Cuvee Coffee is not only clearly the best coffee roaster in the Austin area. Cuvee coffee is one of greatest craft coffee roasters in Texas, the United States, or, perhaps, the world. The espresso pulled from Cuvee beans is orders of magnitude better than just about anything else out there. Basically, the coffee shops that serve Cuvee have bad ass drinks while the competition begins to taste undrinkable in comparison. If you have any doubt, go to Starbucks and order a simple espresso-first drink like a double macchiato. Then, go to a Cuvee-based shop (like Caffe Medici, Patika, Caffe Yolly, or Houndstooth) and order the same thing. Cuvee has a great thing brewing in our backyard, and I enthusiastically throw my meaningless five stars to them for enriching and elevating the beverage that is so important to me.

From a devoted drinker who has tried numerous local, state and national roasters' best blends and…read moresingle origins: Cuvee is outstanding coffee. Chris S.'s review is right on the mark in several regards. Cuvee may well be among the very top coffees I have ever tasted, with the exception of Stumptown. And just as Chris S. pointed out, try a Starbucks drink. And then try a coffeehouse that serves Cuvee. My girlfriend did. She used to think that coffee was an acquired taste until I introduced her to amazing coffees like Brown, Cuvee, and Stumptown. Now, she just cannot get herself to drink a Starbucks latte. Coffee is dynamic. There is much that goes into making your cup of coffee good. A lot of it is in your hands, such as selecting the best bean for the brewing method you have, brewing with proper technique, and using good quality water. That which is not in your hands is the quality of bean and roasting technique. Cuvee is constantly trying new beans, tweaking their roasting techniques, and maximizing the goodness of the bean and farmer-roaster alliance. I finally made the pilgrimmage to Cuvee on a recent relaxing day. I talked with Hannah, the receptionist, and scheduled a visit on a Friday. Typically, tours are given several times a week, leaving Fridays for staff-meetings. I got lucky because Cuvee is soon changing their tours to once a month with periodic cuppings, or coffee tastings. I had the pleasure of talking with one of Cuvee's two coffee roasters, Logan. For almost an hour, he talked me through the life of the beans: how they are received, roasted, and bagged. He answered every question that I had, even the stupid ones, with courtesy and genuine passion. After discussing the throughput process with Logan, I was taken to Lorenzo, master barista. He talked me through the complex process of brewing and all the factors involved. I was lucky enough to have a comparison cupping in addition to Lorenzo's thoughtful short class. Mike McKim and his professional staff are passionate, focused, courteous, and welcoming. I cannot disagree more with the single one-star review that I noticed by Juan P. The staff at Cuvee were not at all snobby and Cuvee coffee is superior to Katz Coffee. Try the Meritage blend. It's my favorite, next to Stumptown's Hair Bender. If you have a Chemex, try the amazing Laguna Las Ranas.

My MIL got a hot chocolate, which came out not really... hot. So that was a little upsetting. We got the banana nut muffin which was a 9/10, we should've gotten it warmed. And I got the cinnamon french toast bagel with cream cheese which was SO GOOD It was a little slow for a drive thru. I'm huge on if you're going to take your time, it should be just right! Otherwise, pretty good. Good flavors and nice young ladies at the window. My rating is mostly due to the issue of not really being impressed with the delivery of our drink orders.

I ordered a London fog tea this time around which I was not impressed with since the flavors weren't as strong. A good London fog on a cloudy or rainy day is my go to. Hubby got a seasonal pumpkin spiced latte and that was delicious! Their flavored coffees are out of this world and I would highly recommend. If you are a tea drinker, the teas are decent, but I feel like I've had better. FYI, there aren't really places to sit, but there is enough space where you can park your car and eat/ drink in your car. One feedback for the business is to move up the matcha menu up so it's easy to see. I totally wasn't able to see that they had a matcha until after I already ordered. I'll be back to try their matcha. The service otherwise was excellent.

I love these seats cause you can see the coffee station and what's going on back there. Basically people watching. It was a little loud today, so I put on my head set and listened to some music. My server was Joyce and she was sweet. Took my order, which was breakfast tacos and a pineapple mimosa. My drink came super quick, and my food didn't take long at all. I mean like a couple minutes quick. Tacos were outstanding. And honestly as soon as I asked for a corn tortilla over the flour I thought, they're going to fall apart. But they didn't. And when you see the size of these tacos it will blow your mind that they didn't. Good corn tortilla. Scrambled eggs are fluffy, the potatoes are seasoned a little. They added bacon for me a that was chopped up inside the taco. Honestly it was a lot of food. I knew I wouldn't be able to finish it. But I did, and enjoyed every bite.

It was alot of families and friends gathering there as well as a few different people working on computers and reading. I ordered a cranberry mimosa was absolutely delicious. What really blew my mind was that the server told me we couldn't sub the toast on the breakfast plate with the tres leches French toast bc it wouldn't "taste right together". I'm now immediately put off because what kinda flavor yall have on your food to where sweet and savory don't go together. So we ordered masala chai, the mango lassi smoothie, breakfast potatoes and bacon. The chai and smoothie were both very disappointing. I love masala chai and drink it often enough to know that this chai tasted heavily watered down even thought it was freshly made. The smoothie didn't taste like mango at all, it tasted like mostly like nothing with a side of banana and oats. I wish they had the ingredients on the menu because my man wouldn't have ordered it if he knew there were bananas in it. The breakfast potatoes were pretty good after adding salt and pepper and the bacon was the best thing out of what we got. It was flavorful. Overall, not impressed with this place.

If you like sweet drinks/have a sweet tooth, you could get a half moon and probably love it. If you don't like sweet drinks, I'd recommend just a whisper. Quarter moon is probably similar to a sweet latte at Starbucks. Quarter moon matcha latte was too sweet for me, but still a good sweet drink. Autumn cold brew was great. The cold brew cut thru the sweetness. I also liked the migas taco and butter croissant. Service was super helpful and friendly. There's WiFi, a good amount of seating (though it's always busy), and a clean restroom.

I'm interested in trying the Quarter Moon Latte the next time I stop by just to see if I like that ratio of espresso, skin milk, and sweet cream even better. I also picked up a croissant. It felt a bit stale on the bottom so I'll probably skip this my next visit. Service was friendly and quick. I waited mere minutes for my hot, delicious drink.

My small latte, with only 1/2 shot of espresso was $5.95 that I purchased one week ago. Yes, the prices have steadily increased over the year, but I accepted that due to inflation and competition. What I cannot tolerate is that in one week my drink went from $5.95 to $7.33. I wish my salary followed Winston's unbelievable increase in one week. P.S. Winston's reached out to me and following up on several emails, I now understand why the latte charge had increased. Apparently, I hit the button for tip, not realizing it, and when I questioned the server, she just said that was the price of the latte. All is good. I will get my latte from Winston's again.
