I am immediately greeted with parties of 2-5 people all talking--felt like social bar vibes. Still a great place to study if you like background noise like I do. The drink of choice for today is a cold brew with a splash of whole milk; it is phenominal. Surprised the place is this packed at this hour. Great place to socialize with friends, catch up with an ex, and eat/drink great food.

Very artistic, cozy vibes. Tried their spinach kolache and latte…read more Kolache was a good size with creamy filling. Latte was not bad. Initially confused where the restroom was but it's around the corner of the cash register/front area. They also have seating outside and complimentary water station.

I swear it was crazy how fast I got my drink!! & on top of that, I got a parking spot. I always worry when I visit new places if their parking will be okay !!! & it was!! So that felt like a win! Ambiance: cute trail, fountain, and outdoor shaded patio next to it! Along with more food trailers!

I really loved the coffee here! Finally, a place where you can actually taste the coffee instead of…read moregetting a cup of milk with melted ice and barely any flavor. The coffee was rich and flavorful, and I really enjoyed it. The service was super fast, by the time I finished placing my order, my coffee was ready just a few minutes later. I also loved their branding and the cute little stickers on the cups. Such a nice touch! The area around the shop is great too. You can take a walk in the park, find a spot to sit, and just enjoy the view. Overall, it's a really nice neighborhood spot. Definitely recommend!

As a big fan of Radio's original location, I've been excited to have a new Radio in SE Austin. True…read moreto form, this location is beautifully done with plenty of outdoor seating and *parking*, both an outdoor and indoor stage, and lush native landscaping throughout. Warning to those visiting around dusk in summer: during my last visit we were eaten alive by mosquitos. Other than that, love Radio. This location has three food trucks including one of my favorites, Shortwave Diner. Their smashburger and Reuben sandwiches with homemade fries are delicious. Radio also offers an amazing happy hour from 4 pm to close every Monday through Thursday. The hibiscus mojito is the perfect summer treat. This location has a great trivia on Tuesday nights too. I recommend it!

TLDR: Diluted iced drinks, bad parking, and minimal outlets…read more After coming to Radio/East a few times now, I hate to say it, but the iced drinks are just too diluted, and unfortunately, is the common theme for the other locations I've been to as well. Most recently, I tried the Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Chai Latte, and the Berry Crisp Latte. What I was hoping for were robust, unique, signature flavors, but left unsatiated, wanting better coffee/tea elsewhere. In addition to the diluted iced drinks, another common theme you'll find is an unproportionally large amount of outdoor seats to indoor and challenging parking, and for those who work remote, there's still an ongoing hunger games for outlets. On the plus sides, there are a few food truck options, most notably Veracruz and Wow Poke and occasionally will host a fun event and/or concert. Overall, I really want to love Radio, but the cons make it hard to justify becoming a regular.

Cosmic Pickle is a very unique venue located of S. Congress that I discovered while visiting…read moreanother nearby location. The Cosmic effect can be realized through the red string lighting inside. Cosmic has indoor seating and outdoor seating with a covered patio. The lush greenery and trees make the venue visually appealing. In addition, a food truck park is across the walkway creating more interest. Joint outdoor seating is also shared with the food truck park. You can easily toggle between the food trucks and Cosmic. In addition, since there is so much outdoor space, the venue appears to be dog friendly. The drink menu has quite a lot of variety. In the early morning hours, you have the opportunity to drink lattes, espresso or cold brews paired with pastries. As the day continues, you can add to the drink menu wines, beer and cocktails. I had hibiscus tea with a croissant...both delicious. That morning, I was the only customer, so I had dedicated service. Will have to return in the evening...

*this was meant to be 5 stars and for some reason I must have hit 4…read more Updating for that purpose only. Yeah so, I was updating a lengthy review but it seems to have disappeared. Anyway... The Cosmic Saltillo location is our go-to because it's walking distance from our home. This original location is amazing. Love the both so much. I like that there are food truck onsite, lots and lots of outdoor seating, koi pond, chickens, certified green spaces, and so much more. It's like being at the greatest campground ever. The interior is spacious. The entire place is welcoming and friendly. Super service. Super cocktails. Super coffee. Super other drinks. You see where I'm going, right? I love it here!

It's a great place to catch up with friends, but it's also quiet enough to get some work done if you need a change of scenery. If you're stopping by, do yourself a favor and grab a breakfast sandwich or bagel from Casper's next door. The combination makes for a perfect morning.

Had a nice African Drip coffee with cocoa and dark chocolate blends and it was great. I had the…read moreoption to switch it to a decaf. Great selection of teas and lattes. Vanilla Rose latte and Strawberry latte were some popular ones here. They had a wine selection and beers too I guess because of the name. The caffe itself was like a Biergarten with a modern coffee shop vibes. They had a good breakfast menu.

Welcome to the OG Cafe Crème! Upon entering, you'll be greeted at the counter where you can order a…read morevariety of crepes, tacos, pastries, drinks and more. I was torn on choosing a crepe I had previously tried, or trying something new entirely. The barista/cashier was super helpful on narrowing down my options, and so I stuck with the Crepe Madame-- can't go wrong with a classic! Absolutely, NOOOOO REGRETS. I will say after just eating one, I WANTED MORE... but that could also be my Texan heart wanting the usual Texan portion size. They also serve a mini salad on the side, and whatever dressing they're using-- SPECTACULAR. If you're curious why the menu has some Vietnamese influence on the menu, you're not mistaken. It's Vietnamese Owned, so maybe get a little adventurous and try out the Saigon Crepe or be bold and order a Cafe Sua Da or Vietnamese Espresso Martini. Atmosphere: WF wherever folks, you'll love this place. Plenty of space & if you need a quaint conference room, you can reserve and pay $20/hour or $150/day.

This is a co-working friendly cafe! I like that they had two conference rooms you can rent and…read moreplenty of open seating inside. And I didn't have any issues with their WiFi.

I…read moredon't think I'll ever try them because I personally would not go for it but just like donut burgers exist, I can see it and it's a very innovative idea! We came here for the sweet conchas and they were great! My boyfriend and I ordered with half banana and half strawberry and it was delicious! I wish the concha was slightly warmer to really elevate it but it was delicious as it was! My boyfriend loved the concha so much that he bought a bag of conchas on their own to eat for the next morning! The girl was really nice and the space was nice with enough tables for several different groups to come out and eat. We will come here again.

HIGHLY recommend the Oreo ice cream concha. This thing is huge and can feed two. Whole menu is fairly priced and service is sweet and friendly! Parking is small, but hasn't been an issue so far. There are three tables if you are wanting to hang out. Will be back again!

This cafe is one of my favorite fantasy driven locations to visit in all of Austin…read more Their rotating special menu with unique flavors make this a standout in an oversaturated marketplace. Austin is known for having a lot of coffee, but very few have identifiable differentiators. Merfolk's creates coffee flavors based on fantasy lore, so you honestly never know what the special menu will have. That's why we keep spending our money there. Many of the drinks are sweet but the staff is more than happy to make adjustments as needed! The ambiance is also so cute and whimsical. I love being in beautiful spaces like this---it makes getting any sort of work done in my laptop much more enjoyable.

Wow! The vibe is spectacular. Think mystical, steampunk,…read moregothic, fairy tale, and then some. Incredible and welcoming interior design. Very spacious with lots of room for meet-ups, working remotely, having a coffee date, etc. The drinks are fantastic. I had the Jane Austen (iced) which is a lavender white mocha. They blended the flavors to perfection and I could actually taste the lavender without it being overbearing or not enough taste. My boyfriend had Angela's Ashes (iced)---I took a few drinks of that and woo-wee is it good. It's Mexican mocha, oatmilk, and cookie butter. The baristas are true artists creating liquid masterpieces.

The covered area has a large TV, and they also have a stage for entertainment. They now have two food trucks: one for Tacos and one for burgers. The bartenders are great, always friendly and make tasty cocktails. I always appreciate a rotating menu, and love to try their new items. I sometimes stop by just for some caffeine and to get some work done, as they open quite early and have a "refreshments" menu aside from their cocktail menu.
