ghoul has such a cute vibe and the service is super friendly! their flavor combinations are really unique, and it's impressive how each component can stand out on its own while still feeling cohesive together. the ponyo joy had these roasted, sweet black sesame and coconut flavors that worked so well, and the kraken had this nutty, creamy pistachio aroma that was sooo good overall, both drinks were amazing, and i'm so excited to come back and try more of their signature creations :)) read more

I am a foodie and whenever I come visit my parents, I love to search for little coffee spots. When I found Ghoul and the amount of good reviews it has I was sold. So I went early the next morning and ordered a coffee, a banana latte to be exact. I was so disappointed. I really wanted to like it, the location is cute the service was great, but the coffee was so bland it didn't taste like banana. Just water with ice. It also has a very white tone to it, not brown and rich like a latte is supposed to look. I want to go back in a few days and will delete this if anything changes. read more

Ghoul coffee is located inside an open air food court next to the likes of the Vegan Nom and other food trucks. I've been wanting to try their coffee for a long time but every time I was in the area, I never seemed to sync with their opening hours. Finally, one day, my schedule synced with theirs! Hurray! I ordered a latte and it was... Pretty great! Balanced taste, not overly sweet, coffee was well made, it checked all the boxes. Oh, and they also have free dog treats, so if you have a dog, they'll be happy too. Bonus point for having giant skeleton. You can't go wrong with that! read more

Ghoul Coffee is a great trailer for anyone who loves creative coffee and tea drinks. The black sesame flavor was my favorite. They use black sesame butter (think almond butter style, not dairy butter) and it gives the drink an extra richness that you don't usually get with just syrup. My matcha latte was delicious too and not too sweet. They specialize in iced drinks and will actually tell you when something's better iced or hot, which I really appreciate. Only downside is no decaf options at the time of this review, so if coffee hits too hard, your options are matcha or chai. It's in the same lot anchored by Vegan Nom and other vegan trailers, although they do have dairy milk if you want it. And best of all, there's a decent size parking lot and street parking. read more

OMGHOUL!!!! I AM HOOKED, HOOKED, HOOKED! I mean let's face it, Austin has some stellar coffee joints but Ghoul has got to rank in my top 3. My absolute favorite drink is the Furusato. I have never had anything quite like it before. It's so refreshing and satisfies that need for caffeine and more. It's a latte with orange juice and vanilla cream. I tell you it is the greatest drink concoction on the planet. With that said, they have other insanely magical coffee beverages on the menu. Let's talk about the Maple Boo Butter...OMGhoul, GOOD! Maple syrup and housemade brown sugar. It's like the best southern-style dessert in liquid form, without being overly sweet and sappy...see what I did there? Sappy as in syrup. Ha. Honestly, when my family and friends come to town my first place to take them is for coffee at Ghoul. read more

MUST GET: The Ponyo Joy actually tastes so much like an Almond Joy bar; I'm rarely surprised by specialty lattes but this one floored me. Would have gotten two of these in a day if I could. The Minty Ghoul was also good, but tasted second to the Ponyo Joy. The black sesame butter is not as prominent as I would expect; the other flavors that it's paired with are more prominent. read more

Spooky, dark, goth, and unique offerings of super delicious coffee is my preferred aesthetic and allows me to embrace my middle-school goth self when I walk up to Ghoul Coffee. This little trailer has been my go-to for coffee whenever I am in the area especially on the weekends. Service is fast, quick, and their merch always tempts me to purchase and buy! I have had at least 4 different drinks here by choice including their Ponyo Joy, Maple Boo Butter latte, and a classic mocha and they have all knocked me down with their flavors! I looooove spots like Ghoul Coffee because coming here puts you right in the mix of other local food trucks and sometimes even an artisan market from time to time. Halloween vibes are embraced here as I am someone who loves and lives in Halloween vibes all year long and now with Ghoul Coffee in my coffee rotation I am a happy little ghoul. read more

What a cool coffee truck! But it's not just here for the spooky vibes...the drinks are really good, also (which is important and somewhat rare here in Austin). Creative and fun menu, this East Austin truck offers up delicious drinks, iced or hot. Quick and easy order-at-the-window service, located in a lot with other food trucks, this spot delivers more than just a fun, Instagram-able aesthetic. I was really excited to try their house-made black sesame butter, and it was amazing. I can't wait to revisit! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, there is a large paid lot available or plenty of street parking in the area. - Non-coffee options? Yes, there is matcha, other teas, orange juice, and milks. DRINKS: - Ponyo Joy (5/5): I'm a huge fan of coconut and almond and chocolate, and this drink is the perfect combination of all 3, plus the yummy signature black sesame butter. Not too sweet and very flavorful! I loved it so much. - Maple Boo Butter (5/5): Basically their version of a brown sugar latte, with maple syrup as well. A lovely latte. Not too sweet! - Vanilla Matcha (3/5): A bit too sweet, like very sweet, and not matcha-y enough for my personal taste. Not the worst matcha I've had, but I probably wouldn't order this again and will stick to their signature drinks! read more

Ghoul is hands down my favorite sweet matcha in town. Also, they recently started selling Purply's ube cookies which come from a super sweet couple out of their ghost kitchen business and are some of my favorite cookies of all time. There seem to always be people at Ghoul but the line moves decently fast and the drinks are worth it. I'm not a coffee person but their coffees seem to be very approachable and have fun ingredients if you like a little flair or sweetness. Their vanilla matcha latte is my go-to in town. It's creamy, it's not overpowering, it lives in my head rent free. Love the team here, please support them! Also park on the street if you can to avoid the parking charges, but there is always some room depending on if you are ok to pay. read more

Tucked in the back of the vegan food truck park in East Austin, you'll find this gem of a coffee shop which might not have any spirits, but they definitely have plenty of Ghouls. Their iced bevs reminded me of my youth. The mint one kina tastes like Thin Mint Ghoul Scout Cookies and the almond mocha was very reminiscent of an Almond Joy. They also have an array of milk options if needed (including cow milk). P.S. Pro tip, there's a parking lot on the back side of the food truck park. read more

I came on a Sunday morning around 8:30am and it wasn't super busy. I decided to go with one of their specialty drinks and ordered the iced maple boo butter with whole milk, which came out to a little over $7 including tax. I was afraid it'd be too sweet, but after trying it, I'm happy to say it's not. Service was fast and friendly so no complaints there! A small detail I appreciate is the fact that they have their logo/business printed on their cup. As someone who buys coffee decently often, most stores just give out plain plastic cups, which isn't a bad thing, but the fact that Ghoul has their logo printed on their cups (which I'm sure costs a little extra as well when ordering supplies) is a little detail that is not going unnoticed! Also FYI there is a parking lot in the back which I didn't know until I had already street parked read more

I think Ghoul Coffee recently opened because I haven't seen much from them until recently, but my friends who also love coffee really liked this coffee shop! I am always down to try new coffee places, and I happened to be in the area and needed a little caffeine boost. I'm really glad I came because the theme of the coffee truck and the drinks is SO cute. Especially during this time of the year? Halloween is definitely one of my favorite holidays. Staff is so friendly, but beware! They're very busy. It's a good thing though because it's a testament to how good their drinks are. I got their most popular latte, which was a brown sugar latte. I usually don't like more watery lattes, but I actually liked how light this one was. The sweetness wasn't overpowering, and I felt like I could drink the whole thing without feeling awful and heavy. I will definitely be back! Concept is adorable. read more

Ghoul Coffee has 5 stars for a reason. Hands down, this is the best coffee spot in Austin--and I've tried about 20 different places so far. I originally came here because it's dog-friendly, and I love a good food truck vibe. It's located in a cozy little food park with plenty of seating, so it's a great place to just chill and enjoy a cup of coffee. The service? Phenomenal. I wish I remembered my server's name because she was so friendly and welcoming--she even pet my dog and remembered his name the next time we came back! Now, let's talk about the coffee. I ordered the Maple Boo Butter Latte, and it was everything--bold, creamy, slightly sweet, and just the right amount of rich. Probably the best latte I've had in Austin, no exaggeration. If you're a coffee lover, this place is a must-visit. Whether you're looking for a great cup of coffee, a laid-back atmosphere, or a spot where your pup is just as welcome as you are, Ghoul Coffee delivers. Grab your drink, relax at the picnic tables, and enjoy being in the heart of Austin. read more

Located in a small nook of a few food trucks, this coffee truck is a good representation of the kind of coffee town Austin can be. Casual, nice people, and strong coffee that doesn't lose all taste and aroma from milk or ice. There is a spooky theme to their signature coffees. I tried the Boo Butter and the Minty Ghouly based on the barista's recommendation. Both were good, but I definitely would try the furusato next since it's a bit reminiscent of an orange creamsicle flavor and a fun type of latte you might not find elsewhere. Although the menu isn't huge, there's pretty much everything a cafe really needs to thrive: signature lattes, standard espresso-based drinks, teas, matcha, cocoa, etc. The drinks remind me of Desnudo's style, both strong enough to withstand a bit of ice melting and the inclusion of some Asian flavors (ghoul's being the inclusion of black sesame butter). I love both, so I am keeping Ghoul Coffee on my radar! read more

I was so excited to see a new coffee shop since my last visit to Austin, and this will now be on my list for all future visits! They are located in a cool vegan food truck park that has lots of parking in the back (especially around breakfast time)! There is a seating area in the park or the drinks are great on the go! I saw their new special on instagram called "Nightmare on Maple Street" (maple, cinnamon, honey) and also ordered a menu staple "Ponyo Joy" (coconut, toasted almond bitters, chocolate, black sesame butter). The baristas were super friendly and the drinks both tasted amazing!! I LOVE how unique the Ponyo Joy is and highly recommend it as a must-try latte for your self-guided coffee tour of Austin - you can taste and appreciate each of the flavor notes!

Three people, three drinks, and one muffin that honestly stole the show…read more Flapjack (1/2 Sugar) - almost like a pancake breakfast in drink form. We chose half sweetness so it didn't feel drenched in maple syrup, which made it way more enjoyable for me. The cinnamon notes and subtle spice undertone came through nicely. Not exactly my go-to since I gravitate toward floral or fruit-forward drinks, but definitely fun to try at least once. Honey Lavender - LOVED this one. Everyone agreed it was very lavender, which only made me love it more. I chose whole milk and was surprised by how smooth and creamy it tasted. My only tiny complaint is that I didn't get much coffee flavor coming through, but if you're here for the lavender, this absolutely delivers. Coconut Macadamia Latte - this hit the spot. Perfectly coconut-y with just enough macadamia peeking through. I'll admit I have a sharp tongue for coconut flavors (hello, Thai curry), so this one immediately stood out to me. The sweetness level felt just right, and honestly, I'd pick this over Starbucks any day. Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin - one of the best things I ate in Austin. The texture deserves praise because it somehow managed to be firm without being dry, which I usually think goes hand in hand. Not here. It was moist, flavorful, and absolutely delicious while somehow also not being overly sweet. The cream cheese and pumpkin flavors came through beautifully without feeling sugary or heavy. If you stop by, this is a must-order. But honestly, the best part of this whole place? The service, the people, the atmosphere (especially the atmosphere!), and the flavors. There's something about the space that just makes you want to stay awhile. Also... did you know you can touch the bear's butt?!? Highly recommend. It weirdly felt like a mandatory part of the experience.

Tons of outdoor and patio seating, a few tables indoors in the AC. I ordered the Flapjack, hot, with double espresso in a larger cup, with half sweetness (effectively a large with less services). Delicious saltiness and cinnamon! I really enjoyed this. I tried the honey lavender latte which they said was the least sweet of their fort favorites. The lavender flavor was very forward and there was a hint of sweetness on the back of the tongue, so very accurate. I didn't get as much coffee flavor here so maybe double espresso if that's important to you. Friends also tried the seasonal coconut macadamia latte (they said it was nice, like a sweet nutty flavor). Really solid coffee spot with great vibes, I'd come back.

After ordering a hot version of their Honey Lavender Oat Latte, I think they are owed an apology from me. I will always talk about the importance of balancing the espresso, syrups, and milk in a latte, and Noble Joe does it better than most brick and mortar coffee shops I have been to in Austin. It is significantly flavorful while still being espresso forward. I was genuinely impressed, which is hard to do after being the wreck I was post run. If you are on the trail, it is worth the detour. RIYL: A line worth waiting in.

I live quite north so Noble Joes was a bit of a drive for me and honestly it's good coffee but a bit overhyped in my opinion. I bought two lattes - the seasonal blackberry crumble ($7) and the sugar cookie latte ($6), and although both had a good flavor, they both had all of the brown sugar that was supposed to be in them undissolved on the bottom and as best as I tried to dissolve it with the straw given, I had to wait until I was home (about 30 mins) to get a spoon to dissolve it. Personally I liked the sugar cookie latte the best! I would probably rate the coffee overall as a 7.5/10- definitely worth trying at least once! Service- 10/10 the baristas were very pleasant! Coffee-7.5/10 Parking- 7/10 (no parking lot but easy to find street parking on a rainy/slow weekday) Price- $15.16 ~ 2 coffees + tip, pretty standard for Austin

Ambience - I really like the way this coffee shop was organized and all the decor and everything. Small outdoor space, cozy couch space, barstools, a bike shop... this coffee shop had a hip inner city feel to it, like it was meant to be in NYC or Chicago. 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. Overall, I really liked the coffee shop and would come here again to meet with friends or another date!

The service is always friendly and efficient. Though the footprint of the shop is small, they offer plenty of indoor seating and a charming patio area. Great for a quick caffeine fix or a relaxed morning bite. One small downside: if you're eyeing a seasonal drink with decorative toppings, skip the 'to-go' order. They don't include the garnishes on takeout drinks, so you'll miss out on the full presentation.

The drink overall was decent, I couldn't really taste the matcha, the mango puree, nor the sticky rice. I like the coconut taste even though it was very subtle. You could only taste a hint of everything described, and overall the drink was pretty bland. I love the decorations and the space inside though, it was so clean and aesthetics. They also have tables for you to work and chill as well.

There was only a line of 3 people when we went so we made the right call. The shop itself is very aesthetically pleasing - beautiful chandeliers, open glass, and modern arches everywhere. Plenty of chairs to hang out though wouldn't recommend as a place to study as even the day we went it was pretty crowded and most seats were taken. I got the banana cloud matcha and oh man the matcha was smooth, the banana cloud had just the right amount of creamy texture without being overly sweet and definitely is banana flavored. Note most of their matcha drinks are iced and I was worried that it would water down the flavor of the drink, but it did not. My husband got a special off the January menu the chai and was impressed as he said it wasn't overly sweet and spiced well. They do offer bakery items though we didn't try any.

Every piece in the store appears to be intentionally curated. Maaribu melds a home and gift shop with an in house café and bakery, creating an experience that's both relaxing and memorable. According to Mable, my server, Maaribu is a combination of the word Marfa (Texas town that has the Prada store) and Malibu. The brand is often described as combining Marfa's creative spirit, Malibu's laid back lifestyle, and clean Scandinavian design. The shop portion of Maaribu is beautifully styled, featuring furniture, décor, books, and gifts that have a modern flare. All the items are easy to peruse and get drawn in. The use of color is playful and engaging. Maaribu's key highlight is its café and bakery. The in house café has an assortment of coffee, wellness beverages, and dedicated gluten free baked goods. I bought a Rose honey latte, which was divine along with a multi-layer pastry. Mable said customers enjoy the quality and flavor of the pastries...scones, muffins, cookies, brownies, and egg bites are frequent favorites. Importantly, the café is reported to be fully gluten free, which makes it a standout destination for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivities, without sacrificing taste or variety. The outdoor seating and patio area add to the charm, making Maaribu a great place to enjoy coffee and pastries on a nice Austin morning. After years in Austin, I finally discovered Maaribu--a modern, eclectic coffee shop and store. Every item is thoughtfully curated, blending a home-and-gift shop with a café and bakery for a relaxing experience. The name combines Marfa's creative vibe, Malibu's laid-back style, and Scandinavian design. The shop offers stylish furniture, décor, books, and gifts, all easy to browse and visually engaging. Maaribu's café is fully gluten-free, featuring quality pastries like scones, muffins, cookies, brownies, and egg bites, as well as wellness drinks and coffee. Outdoor seating makes it a perfect spot to enjoy coffee and pastries on a pleasant Austin morning. Wow...Maaribu!!!
