Me reacting to my $4.08 bagel!!!!!
Dawn S.

The line is usually long when I drive past at around 645 am and I don't have time to wait in line. Today there wasn't a line and thought I would treat myself to a bagel. I ordered a sesame bagel with cream cheese. She told me the total of $4.08 and I nearly fainted in my car!!! What the what?!? I got to the window and paid with my credit card. When I used the pin pad there was only a option to leave a tip. ($1,$2,$3 etc) there was not an option to opt out of a tip. I have worked food service before. I get it but it's not cool to be forced to pay a tip.

a variety of doughnuts

I came here early morning and the drive through had a lot of cars lined up. I came inside to order and service was quick. I got a spinach bagel with egg and it was great. Staff were friendly.

Christina and Sierra at the window took me and my friends orders and they were the most efficient ppl I've literally ever seen like we expected 5 orders to be super confusing and hard but I'd honestly do anything for these employees Promote them THEY EVEN LABELED OUR DRINKS AND BAGELS AND WHEN THEY WERE OUT OF THINGS THEY GAVE US RECOMMENDATIONS OF NEW AND SIMILAR THINGS I WILL COME BACK

Chorizo Sunrise with 2 eggs - YUM! (& yes, packs a decent amount of spicy heat)
Julie F.

My bagel sandwich was heavenly! "Chorizo Sunrise" - green chili bagel, chorizo sausage patty, avocado, 2 eggs (my add-on), pepper jack cheese, jalapeno salsa schmear. $6.92 Highly recommend if you've considered ordering this! Background: Hungry for lunch. Admittedly, had Taco Cabana on my mind. TC line had 3 cars waiting, and 1 at the order station. Einstein Bros Bagels had 1 car at ordering station & no one else in line. Chose Einstein Bros because a) I was hungry, b) I've had this bagel sandwich before and have enjoyed it, and c) Knew that the cost of the bagel sandwich was less than what I would've ordered at TC. Interesting: Though only 1 car in line before me at Einstein Bros, I left the parking lot at the same time as the car ordering at TC. I'd like to believe the comparatively long wait was because of my order was freshly made. But who really knows: Has TC gotten faster, is it because it seemed there was only 1 person in charge of everything at Einstein Bros drive-thru, or something else? Really, it doesn't matter: I was fully satisfied - my bagel sandwich was awesome, and I saved some $!

7 am - Einstein delivered bagels, fruit, smears for our office breakfast meeting

Always a great place to grab breakfast or lunch. They offer juices as well as a variety of coffee. They have a wide selection of menu choices so everyone should be able to find something they enjoy. They have a good dozen or more variety of bagels and they offer several different smears as well. Get a dozen to go and enjoy them all week long. The place is clean and the staff is generally always friendly.

Took 20 minutes to make 1 cup of coffee. No, seriously, it did. June 11, 2021. Drive thru definitely needs improvement. Leaving 4 starts only to get owner attention, obviously it is 1.5 stars shack that is a shame to be in Austin.

Nova Lox... what a joke. Only 1 slice of smoked salmon on each side. I mean, look at the onions.
Erin M.

This place is a joke... always out of bagels and when they do make you a bagel, it is so minimal, basic, and prepared with no thought or creativity. Look at my photo of the pathetic nova lox. And they CLOSE their drive thru on the weekends by putting a chair out to block it, which is super frustrating. I just walked-in to order and they had 5 employees working?! But they were still unorganized and sloppy. Who is the manager here? This is so poor.

Hair in my sandwich....
Amy H.

I wish I could give it 0 stars. Customer service is trash, they don't greet you at all and seem annoyed with customers. Had a free bagel coupon and the girl charged me for it anyway. When I corrected her she had a major attitude. Started eating my sandwich, which was actually Really good... until I saw a hair in it. Avoid this place at all cost.

Male was rude when I told him I was missing a bagel. He started talking over me, "there were only two items on your ticket."

Until I had Bruegger's bagels, I thought these were pretty good. Not true New York styled bagels.

Slowest bagel place around! Good bagels, but be prepared to wait an unusually long time for your order. Not worth the wait.

Jo's Coffee is exactly the kind of place that makes you want to stay for "just one coffee" and…read moresomehow end up spending half your day there. 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.

I have a few things about Halcyon - 1) I can never spell it correctly when texting my friends to…read morelet them know am there reading, waiting, drinking, etc. and 2) I have been coming here for years that I am SO surprised I had not added it to my personal list of "Best Spots To Go To For More Than Coffee". This is the spot you go to if you want to hang out, in between you doing your thing (shows, bar hopping, dinner, before you go back to the hotel, etc.), and great for if and when you are solo and just want to have a good cocktail. Recently I was here before catching a show down the street a major music venue. I had my ride share drop me off here at Halcyon for some pre-game drinks before my show. I sat at the bar as I had a beer and shot combo and watched folks enjoying conversation with their friends and even saw a cool sharing smore-like plate that came out for a group sitting in the booths. Always a great spot and location to hope in and still be in the Warehouse district while having a good home base to come back to and chill the vibe out.

Cons - tall seats are not tall enough, inconvenient to sit…read more- usual downtown parking restrictions apply - Often times during the day front is open and it feels pretty noisy inside Environment friendliness - No BYO Cup discount - doesn't have separate trash and recycle bins Pros - few weird half tall furnitures - wifi (details below) and restroom - nice decorations overall including restrooms TLDR; Staffs and drinks are great but weird half tall furnitures are inconvenient WiFi password: coffeecocktails restroom# 800855
