Disappointing! The whole cute area that you see in the pics and videos is blocked off with a sign saying it's only for residents of the attached apartment. Waited till it opened at 9 (which is late for a coffee shop IMO) and came from across town cause I saw videos of this shop and turns out 90% of it is inaccessible. Toilets were disgusting too and I came right when they opened. You'd think they would have been cleaned before opening. Street parking was easy for me. 2 stars because there are lots of outlets for working remotely and it's still cute, even if I only sat in the front room. I bought canned kombucha so I can't speak to the quality of the coffee. Pastries looked good but I didn't try. read more

Four stars for the vibe! The interior of this place was gorgeous and very spacious! Every corner is beautifully decorated with a different theme/colors. Staff were nice. Their seasonal Valentine's Day matcha drink was decent. Not bad but not amazing or memorable. I wasn't a big fan of their coffee. I would come back to do work here, mostly for the aesthetics of this place and how spacious it is. Parking can be a bit awful, mostly street parking since it is on/near campus. read more

Daydreamer Coffee - Iced Caramel & Vanilla Latte - Cafes Near Me - Austin, Texas

A super cute and cozy place to study as a student or WFH! The baristas were super nice and our drinks came out fast. I ordered the regular matcha latte with oat milk and vanilla and it came out to almost $9, and the matcha flavor was not really there, it tasted mostly like milk. My friend got the matcha with honey but couldn't really taste any of the honey. I would give the matchas a 3/5 but the study environment a 5/5! read more

Daydreamer Coffee - Cafes Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was so excited to try this place because of all the online reviews and TikTok videos but I was unfortunately very disappointed. If you are looking for a place to study, 10/10 recommend this place. Wifi is at a solid speed, the interior design is fantastic, and the vibes are immaculate. In terms of the study space, there is a large variety of tables so it is a great spot for independent work or group work. There are different sections in the cafe/Rambler area that you can pick and choose from for your preferred noise level. The interior design is really clean and very aesthetic, downstairs has all your neutral nude clay tones and upstairs gives contemporary beach vibes. But I came today to try out their Matcha latte and it was quite mid :( I asked their barista what they would recommend and was given the Vanilla Lavender Matcha Latte and although the color was promising, the flavor did not fulfill that promise. It was watered down and could not taste the matcha. TLDR: great place to study, not a great place for coffee read more

Daydreamer Coffee - Matcha Latte - Cafes Near Me - Austin, Texas

Gorgeous, spacious place! Truly something out of a magazine with the bright colors, Swedish interior design books, and unconventional chairs. You feel luxurious being here. Even the mirrors were nice! Unfortunately the coffee is bad. Tasted like burnt beans. The syrups weren't bold. Seems like it pandered to the college kids that just need caffeine. I immediately drove to see my nephew to taste test the coffees as well, and he immediately did not like it. I could believe that people will be dazzled by the pretty colors and cups to notice the coffee is poorly made. Part of the place is reserved for the residents at Waterloo. No public wifi here. Although the place is more than gorgeous, there's nothing here for you. Definitely try out the other Austin cafes around the area! read more

Located in West Campus, this is the perfect space to get some work done or host intimate meetings. They have plenty of seating with various options like cozy booths, long tables, or small tables. The place is decorated head-to-toe in bold wallpaper, beautiful furniture, and pink marble tables. Even the bathrooms (individual rooms) are gorgeous, with fun print and white marble walls. They just opened to the public a few weeks ago and are not too busy yet. The barista was super kind and quick to make our coffees. They offer all the usual suspects for espresso beverages, as well as cold brew, drip coffee, chai tea, hot chocolate, and tea. I ordered the Honey Oat Latte (espresso, oat milk, honey) and the coffee tasted great, but was a bit mild. You can also grab a bite to eat with choice of Tacodeli tacos or assorted pastries from Quack's Bakery. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

The space was super cute. Apparently it is considered one of the amenities of the apartment building it is inside, but is a separate entity so guests can come enjoy coffee that don't live in the building. There is only one door into the building that is unlocked to non-resident guests. It is on/near UT's campus, so I think it is student housing. The lobby and various seating areas are all decorated very cute. I got a cinnamon roll and a peppermint latte with oat milk. Both were good but not rave-worthy. I think the overall cuteness of the space made it much more enjoyable, but as an adult who does not attend or work at UT, I probably won't be back often. It very much felt like a college spot. If that doesn't bother you or you are in that age range, it may be fine, but I felt a little weird. It was fun to try though! read more

I love to explore coffee shops in the ATX, which is probably why you see a plethora of reviews on coffee shops. This past week was no different! I work from home, so I'm always looking for coffee shops that have great coffee + WiFi. Okay, let's review: Upon first glance: beautiful! (Please take note that this is in the heart of UT, so parking is a pain. I found parking after 20 mins of scouting out. Make sure you pay for it!) To continue: gorgeous interior. I was soooo excited to get my working stuff done. Finding a place to sit and get comfortable was not a challenge. Loved the ambiance and it was not crowded at alllllll. But, y'all, there was no WiFi provided. I was actually SHOOK. I had not been into a coffee shop where internet access was not possible. I put on my hot spot and worked for an hour, since the trek to get to this coffee shop was no joke. Now to the important part--coffee: I'm sorry, but not good. I order my usual, which is a vanilla latte with oat milk (hot). It tasted like milk. Little coffee. Big no-no. If you want to come here and just chill with no work to get done, go for it! But to all my WFH peeps, make sure you have a hot spot. read more

The decorations and the aesthetic of this coffee shop make it one of the most luxurious coffee shops in Austin! It's very spacious and there are plenty of charging stations as well. I got a Waterloo Matcha which is a matcha latte with honey and oat milk. At first, I was worried that it was going to be super sweet because of the honey, but oat milk and matcha perfectly balanced it out! Since I live near UT campus, I would come here often but people who don't live close by would have a problem finding parking spaces. Additionally, the major drawback of this coffee shop was that they didn't have their own wifi yet. The barista told me that they were working on it, but I personally think having a wifi connection is a bare minimum for a coffee shop. read more

I met a friend here the weekend before Thanksgiving. The place is super spacious for this area. I found pay to park street parking a block away on 23rd Street between Rio Grande and San Gabriel. I ordered a large chai latte that I fully enjoyed and sat in a cute booth. The place was empty for us since most student were out of town for Thanksgiving. I would love to come back one morning before it gets too crowded. read more

The people here are very nice and the atmosphere is very thoughtfully curated. A wampus staple at the very least.

The shop itself is cool if you are a female. Be prepared for terrible parking if you aren't from the area. Nothing but college students coming in and out of this place. Overall the coffee was whatever. Females only wanna come here for the pics.. read more

The seating is what attracted us to this cute little coffee shop, located in the lobby of an apartment complex on campus. We grabbed a matcha latte and a regular latte and they were pretty good and added extra sweetness to the matcha and to my surprise I finished it in less than 10 min. It was the perfect texture and flavor would definitely Come back to also enjoy the vibe of the place. The area is quite busy with students coming in and out of the building but still a very nice place to enjoy a drink. read more

Daydreamer Coffee - Cafes Near Me - Austin, Texas

Don't come here. The coffee is significantly overpriced. A majority of the space & seating that you see in the pictures or online is reserved for residents of the college apartment building that Daydreamer is located in. They also don't have Wi-Fi unless you're a resident of the building. Only gave 2 stars because the barista was friendly. read more

This coffee shop is really cute, but with it being a newer coffee shop it has some kinks to work out. First off, there's no WiFi at the moment. They're working on getting it, but just a heads up. Also, they share the space with luxury student housing but don't have any visual indicators separating the resident space from non-resident space. I didn't know I was sitting in the wrong area, which looks identical to the coffee shop interior, until someone from the student housing area rudely asked me to move. After reading the reviews from the residents, I don't blame them for being annoyed by non-residents taking their space though. I think everyone would appreciate some sort of sign to keep customers out of the resident area! :) I think once they iron out these kinks it will be a great place to grab a coffee and get some work done! The staff are kind, the coffee is good, and there's plenty of gorgeous non-resident space to hang out. read more

I was intrigued by this coffee shop not just because of the aesthetic pictures online, but also because of the lack of reviews. You never really know the quality of a coffee shop's actual coffee, no matter the aesthetics, until you go and try it for yourself. And let me tell you... their coffee is a solid 10/10. The pricing is fair, and the service was super quick. The shop is HUGE, so there are plenty of seats with access to outlets. It's downtown & close to UT campus, so you may have to search for parking, but it's worth it in my opinion! They also don't play obnoxiously loud coffee shop music, which my sensory-sensitive self greatly appreciates. I loved their iced americano & my husband gulped down their drip coffee. We can't wait to go back! read more

No WiFi. This is a business only open to residents of the student housing it's located in, all entrances were locked. There are no signs to indicate this exclusivity. This is an amenity for the residents, not a community business. read more

Found this place from a TikTok post. Love the vibe and everything my friends and I ordered was great!! I'm really confused by the bad reviews?? read more

While this place is lovely in its aesthetic, that's where the charm ends. I went in winter 2022 and was able to move about and sit wherever I wanted. As a former barista, the coffee was overpriced and overextracted. When I went back again a few months later, a manager followed me around, telling me where I could and couldn't sit, with the coffee still being underwhelming for its price. There were no signs posted, and no employees informed me that there were designated spots for the public. It immediately made me feel excluded, even though I literally paid to be there. I read the Google reviews at the time that had the residents complaining that they wanted their space back, a space that was marketed to them as private and not open to the public. A few months later, the place is now closed to the public. It is disappointing as it was a nice, quiet place to work. Every time I was there, the other patrons were respectful of the space and it felt like a safe environment. If they ever figure out how to properly extract their espresso and reopen to the public without an apartment manager watching your every move, I would consider revisiting. read more

Coffee was good I had the honey oat milk latte. The star of the show is obviously the interior design of the place, so far this is my favorite interior in Austin. read more

In the lobby of a student housing apartment building. People who don't live in the building are taking our study spots that we pay for monthly. When we signed our lease, Daydreamer was advertised to be only open for the building's residents. Now we have to deal with it being open to the public and the undeniable lack of safety and regard for the students who live in the building. Please stop coming to where we live. read more
