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.

Very artistic, cozy vibes. Tried their spinach kolache and latte…read more Kolache was a good size with creamy filling. Latte was not bad.

The weather was nice so we could sit outside in the back area in the shade while we ate. Then we wandered around and listened to the bands for a bit. It's a really nice space. I've been there once before for swing dancing one evening. I wish I lived closer to it but I'm sure I'll end up back here eventually for another event!

Indoor seating is more limited, but it didn't bother us at all. I had a matcha and it was smooth and really well made. They also have food trucks on site, so it's easy to grab a bite while you're there. Big plus for easy parking, and I love that they sometimes have live music. Overall, highly recommend, relaxed, fun vibe and a great Southeast Austin hang which I really appreciate because there aren't too many things in that area yet.

The vibe is cozy and super welcoming. One of those places where you walk in and immediately feel comfortable, like it's familiar even if it's your first time. Elena, one of the co-owners, is usually there and she's the best. Super nice, really knows her coffee, and if you chat with her she can even teach you some Spanish. You can tell she genuinely cares about the place and the people who come in. Also don't leave without trying the ham and cheese empanadas. They're a must and go perfectly with the coffee. Cafe Nena'i is one of those spots we never get tired of coming back to.

There was a pretty measurable line outside the food truck, and I was worried the coffee might be overhyped based on how long the line was. 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've recently been on a personal mission to find my favorite coffee in ATX as I am a huge coffee…read morelover and drinker! 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

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.

$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.

I came on a rainy Saturday and it was actually quite packed. The parking lot was pretty full too but I did find a spot. I tried one of their specialty/seasonal drinks (the blueberry latte) and it was quite good! Not my favorite latte I've ever had but I definitely enjoyed it. Was like $7 for a small. Overall the vibe inside tho is the biggest reason to visit. There's an industrial/artistic vibe, and a small garden shop inside so there are lots of plants and greenery. It's a very nice space to sit and study. If I lived closer I would visit more!

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.

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.

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.
