To be transparent, the coffee was definitely for me as the hubs is not a coffee enthusiast like myself. Black Sheep coffee has cool and funky coffee vibes with q modern flare. Two large murals are captured on floor to ceiling large pillars making a striking coffee shop statement. A rugged western cowboy covers the entire back wall. Also, Black Sheep coffee sell merchandise such as t-shirts, tote bags and caps. The barista was friendly and gladly made suggestions for latte offerings. I went with the strawberry matcha latte...these days I have had more matcha cravings. The strawberry matcha combination was more matcha laden than strawberry. The balanced mixture was quite refreshing. In addition, your order can be placed in several ways - at the counter, via a kiosk or a QR where you sit. The strawberry matcha latte satisfied my coffee craving.

Creamy good texture, not clumpy matcha. - Hot Americano: Hmm this one was alright, it got better as it cooled down since it became a bit less astringent. But not one that I would put above standard. - Strawberry and cream cookie: A good cookie, a balanced sweetness, soft not crispy, nice morsels of white chocolate scattered throughout. Overall, I would come back! It's a nice space and good drinks. I hear the vanilla latte is good too so I'll have to try.

Whether you're looking to get some work done, meet a friend, or simply people-watch, this spot checks all the boxes. The atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming, and even when it gets busy, there seems to be plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating available. I stopped in on a Thursday morning and enjoyed the chilaquiles, a latte, and one of the most beautiful raspberry scones I've seen in a while. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The menu also deserves a shoutout for seamlessly transitioning from breakfast to lunch and even happy hour offerings later in the day. One of the highlights was how easy it was to settle in and work. The WiFi was fast and reliable, and I was able to comfortably spend about three hours there without feeling rushed. What truly stood out, though, was the customer service. Every interaction was warm, friendly, and genuine. The staff created such a welcoming environment that it genuinely elevated the entire experience. Between the great food, fast WiFi, comfortable seating, and outstanding hospitality, Jo's Coffee was the perfect way to spend a Thursday morning.

I hate to be a Yelp warrior or whatever - but for the sake of other patrons I felt compelled to say…read moresomething. I came here yesterday with my girlfriend and we split a chicken salad sandwich. As someone who doesn't typically eat chicken salad, I was unaware it could contain tree nuts. I took one bite, felt an unexpected crunch, and then felt my throat start to swell. My girlfriend asked a worker if she knew if the chicken salad contained nuts and she frantically exclaimed "oh no! I don't know!" before asking the kitchen. She then came back and said "it has pecans! Is that bad?" And I said "yes. Kinda bad" Luckily because I only had one bite and then proceeded to chew on a few Benadryl I ended up being okay and my throat and lungs were all back to normal in an hour or so, even if I had to spend my day in bed high on said Benadryl. If I had eaten any more of the sandwich though, I very easily could have ended up in the ER. All that to say - the menu does not make any mention of pecans being in the chicken salad, either in-store or online. Which is strange because tree nuts are disclosed in some of the other menu items. This feels like a bit of an oversight, no? Fellow nut allergy-havers: do you avoid chicken salad altogether? Am I ignorant for not knowing the risk of ordering chicken salad? I don't know but this did ruin a whole day for me and very easily could've cost me $2000 and a trip to the ER if I really enjoyed the taste of the sandwich. (Luckily I did not.) Sorry to leave a shady diva review for a time-honored Austin institution - the worker we spoke to seemed very apologetic and reasonably frightened. But you you've really gotta add that *contains tree nuts or your customers are gonna end up intubated. Not very cool! Feel free to send me money or whatever. Please don't send me a gift card.

The last time I came it was late afternoon and they were out of most of their pastries, so I made sure to come back at 9 AM this time and they had a full display. Their croissants looked beautiful and I had a hard time deciding but ended up going with the Cassis Blueberry Honey Croissant ($8). I ran into an issue with my digital payment but the lady was really patient with me which I appreciated. The croissant is a beautiful blue color and really nicely decorated.

The Matcha latte I ordered was good - I'll be honest, I can only tell when a matcha is really bad or if the proportions are very off. I also ordered a vegan kolache, and was very surprised by the amount of flavor in the vegan sausage. Would definitely recommend giving it a try.

They had kolaches and breakfast tacos. We had just eaten so I didn't get to try any of those, but I got their peach cobbler matcha from the seasonal menu.

Overall it's a less sweet matcha if that's your preference but I was hoping for a sweeter and more peach forward drink.
