We went to Nougatine Bakery after a 5K run on a Sunday morning. They had only pastries, so we went…read morenext door to Spokesman for coffee. I loved the funky black and white bus with drawings outside. I ordered drip coffee with a cup of ice to make a sort-of iced coffee to cool down after the run. They complied and gave me a full cup of ice. They had half & half and almond milk, along with cinnamon, simple syrup and other sugars for added flavor. I added stevia to my coffee. Service was fast; my coffee was ready within 2 minutes. The interior has ample tables for sitting and colorful hanging paper fringe decorations.

I stopped in for a late afternoon pick-me-up and ordered the seasonal Earl Grey matcha latte. So good! The Earl Grey added a light, fragrant twist to the matcha without overpowering it, which made the drink feel really balanced and unique. I ended up hanging out for a bit to read a chapter of my book before heading out. It's the kind of place where you could easily get some work done, study, or just enjoy a quiet break with a good drink.

I also tried a breakfast taco, but honestly, nothing worth mentioning. Next time, I'll have to come back and actually give the coffee a proper shot.

I am immediately greeted with parties of 2-5 people all talking--felt like social bar vibes. Still a great place to study if you like background noise like I do. The drink of choice for today is a cold brew with a splash of whole milk; it is phenominal. Surprised the place is this packed at this hour. Great place to socialize with friends, catch up with an ex, and eat/drink great food.

In Austin visiting and being from Buffalo and having a Greek family I wanted to get some Greek…read morefood. No Yia Yia around so I had to go out and find a place. Well after looking at several restaurants on yelp I found that most restaurants were Mediterranean but more middle eastern than Greek. Until I saw Opa. Well my wife and I gave it a shot. And we were pretty well pleased. We had a Greek salad where all the ingredients were super fresh with a nice pita bread and a grape leaf and a 2 nice pieces of feta. I also had a chicken gyro. Again all super fresh veggies filled the pita wrap and very tasty chicken. They had outdoor seating for our dog who was our dinner guest. But you have to order inside. Which I did. The person who took the order was busy but did a great job. We asked for a couple of large glasses of water with lemon and she promptly took care of us. There were small glasses out on the table but we wanted large ones cus we didn't want to keep walking inside. No problem. Food arrived after a short while and was delicious. They have a nice parking lot however getting in and out can be a little bit crazy when you have everyone from Austin rushing home. Had to wait a long time to get to exit the parking lot cus not one Texan driver would give us a break and let me in the exit lane. Next time I see a Texas license plate in New York I will remember that. But I will still give them a break.

Parking was a bit of a challenge but was able to park on the curb out front. Once inside, we placed our order at the counter and pre-paid and were given a number. They have an extensive menu with traditional Greek dishes and all-day breakfast options. As well as a full bar offering aromatic coffee, hand-crafted cocktails, fine wine, and a selection of local and international beers. The restaurant was busy we were able to place our order in a timely fashion. I opted for a cocktail along with lentils and rice and added chicken as the protein. There was indoor and outdoor seating available. After ordering, we sat outside in the most cozy and intimate outdoor seating area. Unfortunately, after waiting 30+ minutes, we never received our food. When we checked at the counter, the interaction felt pretty condescending, staff insisted the order had already been brought out even though we never received it and still had our number with us. At that point we had to cancel the order so we wouldn't miss our show. I do appreciate that they offered a full refund without issue, but overall the experience left us disappointed, especially with how the situation was handled.

We were visiting my BFF in Austin, and I just knew I had to take my family here. I came with my…read moreBFF, my mom, and my aunt. They had me help them choose their drinks during this visit. Neither of them could finish their entire glass of beer, so I ended up chugging the remaining half of both of theirs. The customer service was so sweet--I was struggling to translate the menu with my mom, and the guy at the front desk was truly helpful throughout. It really raised the experience of this place during what could've been a relatively stressful situation. Dirty Horchata - I was hoping for a stronger horchata taste. It's not bad, so it was worth the shot! Just grateful it wasn't too sweet. My BFF felt the same, as we're both horchata fiends from growing up in Chicago. Cherry Cider - The cider has a tangy taste. The cherry flavor isn't as strong, but it's a fragrant drink. The flavor slowly became sweeter the more I drank it. It grew on me, but it wouldn't be my go-to unless I knew I was munching on something salty that night. Violet Blueberry Blonde - My favorite of the two. This one has a tamer flavor with a nicer floral note. It was exactly what I asked for. I felt like I could've easily chugged a few of these. The guy at the counter definitely chose a great pick. I love the low-key ambiance of this place, the peaceful nighttime atmosphere, the fact that it's wedged into a cozy nook, and how it isn't so LOUD like many bars. Didn't get bit by a mosquito while we hung out there for an hour, so that's a huge plus. They were probably chewing on my friends' legs too intently to consider me, though. Wish I had something like this near my place in Houston. I would regularly hang out here on a weekday, no cap.

$3 PBRs, open 24/7, what else can I ask for?…read more Time to Order: We got here around 9:45AM. Walked over but they seem to have plenty of parking. 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.

Loved the seasonal Hugo Spritz cocktail - St. Germaine, prosecco, mint, soda - perfect light summer cocktail and not too sweet. Nice curated menu. Something for everyone without being enormous. We ordered a bunch of shareable things. Melon feta salad - really delicious. Fresh, bright, fruity and sophisticated. Ask for fresh ground pepper. Watermelon and cantaloupe. The pistachios and pickled onions really make it. A must-order. 5/5. The muhammara is another standout. I have no idea how to describe it. A dip with bread? Just order it. 5/5. Meatballs good. 4/5.

I love that they have a great variety on their menu, and vegetarians/vegans have hearty options to choose from! Their patio is large and divine; there is often live music out there on the weekends.

It looks like peanut butter chocolate. If it's chocolate all through, it would make a difference in my decision to buy it in case it is too rich one way or the other. I didn't want to go through the hassle of a refund if it didn't taste/ wasn't the flavor as expected. All baked goods there look delicious but, debunking the 'mystery chocolate' one might also be good for staff to know for patrons/ customers that have any allergies! Luckily I don't but, the staff not being able to answer and their attitude behind it was offputting to purchase anything. I appreciate you addressing this and hopefully, I will get to try it! ---- Don't ask them any questions about their baked goods. Three people behind the counter did not know and will give you the same response: they're from a third party vendor.
