I don't usually go to this Jo's location as I have one super close to where I live (downtown location is walking distance). Plus of course, when friends are in town I take them to the iconic mural at the S. Congress location. With that said, I hit the drive-through here this morning (5/20/26) and had a good experience. The line was kind of long but went fast. I was in and out of that line within five minutes. I grabbed a sugar free vanilla iced latte with oat milk. It was tasty with just the right amount of ice and syrup. Still able to get that amazing coffee flavor with vanilla undertones. Service was good as they got me in and out quickly. read more

Came here during Spurs Week where they were offering free coffee. They said they were out. But... it's a coffee shop, so surely they aren't out of coffee, are they? No, but they're out of free coffee but they'll happily sell me a coffee. WTF?! read more

Service and ambiance meet the criteria of what's needed for a quick coffee and fuel stop. I appreciate that the beans, in the bean and cheese taco are whole black beans, but $4 is just a little deild (especially when a taco with meat and egg is $4.50). Variety of salsas (mild and hot) are available. read more

Jo’s Coffee - Bean and Cheese taco - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Jo's is okay - I've had it several times over the years and the coffee is just okay. It tastes a bit bitter to me and the flavored lattes just don't taste as expected. This past week I got the berry chantilly matcha which was amazing, though it didn't taste like berries at all. Unfortunately the bean and cheese taco just tasted like a can of black beans. The drive thru is convenient though. read more

3 stars is accurate. Food is pretty meh. If you're hungry it's fine but you could make better at home. Coffee is fine. Baristas and the building are nice though. read more

Stopping for a quick drink before hitting the road. They were out of breakfast but the drinks did not disappoint. The salsa was alright and the chips were crispy and plenty salty for my liking. read more

Jo’s Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

As I was looking for breakfast, I saw written on the building "Good coffee, good food," so I said let's give it a try. For starters, the line was long and moved slow. The line was only long because it moved slow! Had I known the line would move that slow, I wouldn't have ordered anything. Nearly every breakfast item had cheese on it and that would be okay if the food wasn't pre-made so I couldn't customize my item to have no cheese. Well, I've waited this long so I went ahead and ordered the bacon, egg, & cheese breakfast sandwich. The bacon wasn't undercooked to the point it wasn't safe to eat, but it really could have been cooked longer. I removed as much cheese as I could. The bread itself was pretty good. Overall, the sandwich wasn't too good. The long line + a not so good sandwich = I won't stop again. read more

Staff is phoning it in. Feels like a coffee shop in a shit part of Dallas. Coffee is mediocre. It does contain caffeine.

I was looking forward to checking this place out. It has a small but cute inside area and a decent amount of seating on the patio. On a Sunday morning around 9 AM, they were very quickly cranking out the drinks. I tried the seasonal fluffernutter steamed cold brew. It was good but nothing noteworthy. I appreciated that I could choose a half sweet option along with less ice. I was happy to see they had alternative milk options of soy, oat and almond, but I didn't appreciate that it was $1.25 to substitute those. There are some places that don't charge for substitutions, but most places charge around $.75. I really hope they reconsider the cost for dairy substitutions! read more

I ordered the Honey Nut Latte and it was very good! I ordered it through the drive-thru and they were very quick. The latte was not super sweet and actually tastes like coffee! When I was there, they had a live band playing in their patio area so it was a vibe read more

Ready? I was close by and needed coffee. I remembered seeing this coffee shop before. I went in and ordered an large iced Mocha. I paid, said thank you and left. The drink was real good. I would go back. The store was clean and the counter staff was very friendly. read more

The location was good so I went to the drive thru. It took a few minutes for any greeting to come through the speaker. When asked the largest size, the clerk clarified hot or cold? I responded with cold. 20 oz size then, they responded. I ordered a 20 oz iced chai latte. There was a deep sigh and then I was told to proceed to the window without a price being given. The clerk was friendly at the window though and helpful with the machine for payment. The drink itself was terrible and I won't order it again. I'm always on the hunt for the perfect chai and this wasn't it. Overly spiced, it tasted like I was drinking patchouli. I don't know if it's a pre-mix or if they're actually brewing it there, but it's just awful. I will probably try them again with a different drink to see if anything improves before I cross it off my list of good coffee drive thru places. read more

Got a raspberry matcha latte. Wanted the Candy Cane Matcha Latte - strawberry & peppermint but asked for no peppermint, so they offered other flavors and I went with the raspberry. The flavors were good, the portion seemed small for $7. Drivers through was great! read more

The Turbo, one of their house drinks is a personal favorite. This location is cute, plenty of easy parking, plenty of seating to hang for a bit. not really big enough imo for work but nice place to chill for a bit. The staff here were so kind and welcoming as expected and the drinks options were always solid. As a out of town visitor this is one of my go to coffee stops when Im in austin. Always nice to not have to go to starbucks for quality delicious coffee anmd support local businesses. read more

Had a really good time at their happy hour. They have two dollar Lonestar, three dollar craft, beers, five dollar froze, and half off wine. Great deal, took advantage of it, sat at the patio, and their playlist is fire. The music was so good, relaxing and groovy vibe. Plenty of parking space. They also have a drive-through which is super convenient. Odd thing though, 10 minutes before they close, they just turned off the lights. I guess it was their way of letting us know that they were closing soon, whatever. read more

Jo’s Coffee - a man sitting at a table - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Never going back here. I recently moved in the area a couple weeks ago and have been going here because its just the closest coffee shop. The staff that work here are like passive aggressive trying to get a tip, because I guess Jo's is one of those coffee shops where they hand you the tipping machine and ask for a tip while going through the drive through. Anyways, I always try to be nice to these people but I never want to tip for a drip coffee. I've noticed every time I hand the reader back with no tip on it, they immediately look at the reader, and then I'm just completely ignored and sometimes even given a rude face. The audacity of these people is ridiculous especially when I'm being polite to them in the first place. read more

I work nearby so I frequent this location but honestly every time I go I am disappointed. I've tried just about everything on the menu and nothing has ever actually been good. The last time I went I decided to study for a bit inside. The seating space is small but they also have outdoor seating as well. My biggest "ick" was when I was trying to order I couldn't tell if it was a customer in line so I kinda just stood behind them for a while, turns out it was the barista having a make out session with their s/o. All the love to them but like that was so awkward for me to just stand there thinking the barista had clocked out but really he was enjoying some of his s/o. He should have gone somewhere private or just waited until he was clocked out. This was some time ago but like I mentioned, I frequent this location and nothing has really changed. read more

I haven't had coffee from Jo's since I left Austin years ago, but I got the Iced Turbo again and it did not disappoint. It was sweet and nutty without being overwhelmingly sugary. Service here is fast and the baristas are really friendly. Missed this place! read more

Tried a voodoo matcha, which has coconut milk and banana flavoring, and loved it! Very unique flavors that work well. Service was fast and the baristas were very friendly. Went through the drive through so can't speak to the inside ambience but overall enjoyed the drink! Took a sip of my friends honey latte and loved it-- would highly recommend that if you are in the coffee mood read more

I had some mediocre tacos here once [Hash Brown Taco & Migas Taco] two years ago. I wasn't impressed. But the hot beverages are pretty great. I returned for a Large Almond Chai Latte and was pleasantly surprised. The service was friendly and the seating area was cozy. This is a nice spot if you have some time to relax amid the morning rush of the city. read more

They always have an attitude and take forever with drive-thru in the AM. Coffee is good, but service sucks.

This location is really cute! I personally never went in before and always made my sister grab me a coffee whenever she visited. Always a good coffee choice and I have never been disappointed. This go around I sadly missed their HH where you could get cheaper drinks and a free chips and queso with a beer/wine purchase. But did try to their chips and queso...it was meh and more watery than my liking. Still their coffee is tasty and the prices are solid. read more

Friendly barista's and efficient service. Perfect location for me since I work in the same parking lot. I'm always greeted with a smile and the latte never disappoints! Highly recommend. read more

I've never been treated so poorly by people at a restaurant that I'm giving my hard earned money to. The girls in the drive thru are normally nice unless you pre-order your food through door dash. Then they become aggressive - Anna and Alexandra specifically. I think they get issues with door dash frequently and they take their anger out on the customers instead of taking that energy and using it for good. On two occasions I went to pickup my order and they were out of items. Instead of offering solutions they immediately snap at the customer, calling me inappropriate adjectives, and being downright passive aggressive. I'm shocked they employee people like that. I had to record the interaction this time because of how they attacked me thru the drive thru. Based on prior reviews, it looks like this is a recurring theme where other customers are experiencing the same thing. In my situation specifically they blamed the manager the entire time. It's obvious they aren't loyal to their employer and were throwing her under the bus. They should change jobs if they are that miserable. read more

Glad for a Jo's near campus! The coffee here 5/5! I got the drip coffee (bc I feel like you have to get the plain coffee to properly judge a coffee shop) and it was so smooth! Just acidic enough but not too much! I also got the hash brown breakfast taco. Nothing special about it - I asked for no cheese but the employee working said that wasn't possible because they didn't make the tacos themselves, they were premade and delivered. The actual taco was kind of flavorless, would pass on the taco :/ Sad that they only have drive thru right now but can't wait to study here once they open up fully. read more

I love coming here when I'm in the neighborhood. They have a variety of breakfast items: tacos, croissant, tea bread, burrito, cookies, etc. My usual go-to is their iced turbo. Just the right amount of sweet and creaminess. They'll have seasonal drinks as well, for instance, this week was their pistachio latte which was delightful. Check this place out! read more

Easy to get in and out of with the drive-thru. Im a plain Jane, so I can't speak to their quality of drinks other than the oat milk latte which I thought was good! Im so glad Jo's replaced the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf that used to be here. Positive change! I'll return and update my review when I've had a chance to try other things. read more

Ugh. So I really want to like Jos, and their coffee is really good, but the food here is... not good. I got a vegan taco, and somehow it looks like my taco was mauled by a bear. For four dollars AND tip, should be must better. Also, it's a drive through. Why are we tipping? I don't tip McDonald's, I don't tip other small business drive throughs, I just don't understand. I am really not a fan. read more

Jo’s Coffee - Is that real egg? Don't think so. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

We've never been to a joes and we're excited this one opened up a few blocks from us so we could try it. What a great experience!!! We used the drive thru and first saw their winter specials, I saw marshmallow latte which I was like yes please! I'm one of those people who loves the idea of sweet things but doesn't actually like them that sweet? At Starbucks I'll get one pump of syrup in my latte instead of the 4 they generally put. We asked if they could make it half as sweet and they did without issue and the latte was delicious! My boyfriend wanted to try the turbo since it's their signature drink but again same thing - we prefer things much less sweet. He asked it that was possible and we were told there's actually a drink on their menu that is the turbo but made half as sweet which is great to know for the future and we got it and it's delicious. The service was phenomenal they weren't at all annoyed that we kept asking questions and asking for things less sweet lol and the drinks came out quickly and perfect! I think this is our new go to spot. read more

Jo’s Coffee - Iced marshmallow latte made half as sweet! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

The coffee is good, iced turbo is tasty. They just don't have enough workers during the morning rush so it's very slow. If you need something fast I wouldn't recommend going here. read more

First time here and we just grabbed some coffee & tacos in the drive thru. It was super fast & the service was excellent. We got bean & cheese and hash briwn tacos. Both are sumple but executed well. They use black beans that are well seasoned. Good salsa that's nit too spicy. The cortado was hot, dark & a very good pick-me-up. We also git a tiasted marshmallow latte & it was surprisingly not too sweet, but had that lovely campfire charred marshmallow taste. The most standout thing was the service. Super friendly, they were very welcoming, even in the drive thru! Great job, guys! Could you get more food for less money? Maybe, but the prices aren't bad ($4/taco) and the quality is definitely worth it, especially if you're in a hurry. We will definitely be back. read more

I love Jo's and have been coming here for years. But today we had such an awful experience. Once it was our turn to order, my husband ordered an egg sandwich only to be told they only 4 other kinds of tacos. My husband was a bit confused by the response so he followed up to confirm his understanding. To which the women became visibly annoyed and said I'm not going to repeat myself. She was so rude and condescending we couldn't wait to leave. She then made an announcement to everyone waiting in line " listen up because I'm not going to repeat myself......."Are you kidding me? Who talks like this to their customers????? Shame!!!! The one star was for the Turbo..... which didn't disappoint but we will not be coming back here! read more

Was having the worst day ever (my FB was hacked and my business account compromised) and I just wanted some Jo's to feel better ...we love this place! I brought my newborn in tow and our day was instantly made. I got the turbo coffee, hashbrown taco, and bacon taco. Unbelievably good. The best part? The cashiers inside the cafe were so kind and nice to us. They asked how my day was and also noticed my little one and were so sweet to her! Side notes -- it is also amazing to see that Jo's supports LGBTQIA+ as well as Austin Humane Society. Apparently they have a puppy party every first Friday for adoptions and to help donate. So freaking cool!! read more

Not much of an improvement from the decrepit Coffee Bean that used to squat in this location. Even though Jo's has been open for a while and it's right by where we live, we just made it over there this past weekend, and wow--disappointment of epic proportions. First of all, the space isn't that great. It just doesn't feel welcoming at all and there's a general 'womp womp' feeling in the air. Staff is of the same vibe. But here's what shocked us: all the stuff in the pastry case is from other places! Like, half of it was from Quack's LOL! Why not just go to Quack's which is far superior in EVERY WAY? There were a couple pop-tart things from somewhere else, but everything on display looked limp and unappetizing. Our daughter still got a Quack's chocolate chip muffin. The migas taco that we ordered was so bad that it was laughable: it looked like it had been sitting in someone's car all day and tasted like it too. Microwave much, guys? Iced coffees are fine. Well, the Liz Lambert glory days are over and gone with this Jo's location, we can tell you that. Surprised it's lasted this long already TBH. The only reason we'd ever come here again is for drive-thru coffees ONLY since they've kind of got the neighborhood monopoly on that. read more

This place is kinda mid. Everything is ok and if it cost less maybe even decent but they charge like it's much better than it is.

Just drove thru on fast stop before an appointment. Picked up an ice turbo....it was sooo chocolate-y that it tasted chalky. Yuck. This never happened at SOCO Jos. Would not recommend...will not go back. I also hate the request for tips. For pouring a pre-made drink in a cup. Jos pay your employees a real wage. read more

I was so excited when I saw a Jo's at Hancock, only to be immediately disappointed upon arriving home with my food and drink. First of all, the were out of all food other than salads. The Greek salad I got didn't even have a tablespoon worth of cheese on it. My ice tea tasted like it was made with old coffee grounds. The only reason I'm giving two stars is the employee was nice. What a bummer. read more
