The drip coffee is quite good - as well as Cortado. The atmosphere is suitable for work / studying. I would recommended this place.
Only been once but the best cortado I've found in Austin so far. Nice vibe and the pasties look great. I look forward to coming back on future visits.
Overall, I enjoy this place, I really do. Pleasant atmosphere (though with most American cafes, the music is almost always too loud, and there isn't anything to deaden the sound (just brick walls and hardwood floors). I come here when I'm on campus, and I want a little higher quality cup of coffee than some other competitors nearby, but be prepared to spend a little more for that. However, my biggest gripe, which makes this cafe a no-go for me if I am doing work, is the wifi. I'm surprised there are so few reviews here that mention it, but it is essentially unusable as it disconnects constantly. When it does work, it provides moderate speed at best. If you're looking for a place to work remotely, sadly, this is not it. But if you are looking for a place to socialize over a cappuccino and you're close to the UT campus, by all means this is a great spot.
Would be such a nice atmosphere/study spot if they didn't blast music so loud you can't hear yourself think. Additionally, they usually play pop or something non-coffee-shop-related. Kinda ruins the vibe
the workers are really funny and informative, a great place to study and chat with the workers
This place is a staple of UT Austin. The dominant clientele are student and faculty—ideally the people who can walk there from campus—so in that regard, it feels familiar even as a newcomer. It is very dear to me. I’ve never had a problem with their customer service and was attracted from the start to the environment. Yes, the coffee is overpriced; but it’s Austin. And no, their milk texture is not always perfect; but whose is? Plus, their espresso never fails. And all shortcomings are made up for in the place’s charm. Their employees are part of that. Their manager, Aries, cultivated a warm and understanding atmosphere. It is always a joy to see a familiar face behind the bar.
Really good chai and a nice place to study!
i loved the bagel i got here and the oat milk shaken espresso! shoutout to the barista, adriana she deserves a promotion and a raise of 100000000000$
