    Interior signage
    Shaida H.

    Was staying in downtown Austin so walked to Jo's. Ordered a latte and breakfast tacos (potato and egg). The taco was great, latte was good but want anything memorable. Plenty of seating, both interior and exterior.

    Ube latte
    Gabrielle B.

    I popped in for a quick latte and I was pleasantly surprised that they offered a ube (Taro) latte. It was so good! The barista was so sweet. I am so glad I decided to stop by

    Avocado Toast ($14), Buttermilk Stack ($10), Side of Eggs ($3)
    Wendi K.

    Love this cute spot downtown for breakfast tacos and lattes. The buttermilk pancakes are divine ($10). The avocado toast ($14) is fine too - the eggs were perfectly cooked, and I liked the addition of the feta. Though it seems like they ran out of sourdough bread so just use regular white bread. There's a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating. The staff are always lovely.

    Snickerdoodle latte half sweet
    Kristin J.

    Look - I can do a flavored latte, I enjoy it. But gawd damn this shit is so sweet / syrupy it's not even drinkable. I did the snickerdoodle HALF SWEET and she even called out the HALF SWEET when she gave me it. If this is half sweet, I can't even imagine what the normal tastes like. I won't be able to drink it but I am a baby who is too scared to ask them to remake. If you actually like coffee, do yourself a favor and don't even mess with a flavored drink here.

    Potato Tacos and Bacon Taco
    Carrie M.

    Jo's is so iconic, so I was very hopeful that my first visit would be good. I decided to grab some breakfast tacos at this downtown location, and I was excited because I am a breakfast taco fiend. I thought the outdoor seating in front of the coffee shop looked so cute with the rainbow lights. I got two potato breakfast tacos and one bacon breakfast taco. They both come with eggs and cheese in them. These breakfast tacos were unfortunately some of the most mid ones I have ever had, and it was $15 for three. The salsa added some flavour, but the tacos themselves had such a plain taste. They reminded me of the $2 breakfast tacos I sometimes buy from the hospital cafeteria.

    Chicken and Waffles
    Amber A.

    Great chicken and waffle. Hearty and delicious. It has cinnamon, and the chicken is crispy and perfectly cooked. They're stingy with the syrup, but always happy to stop by when I'm in the area. Love the turbo coffee too.

    Rachel A.

    Amazing coffee shop in the heart of downtown Austin! I was in the mood for some hot chocolate in this 39 degree weather and it was perfectly made!

    Breakfast Burrito
    Angela V.

    Must try the turbo iced coffee ! We actually went back again the second day bc it was so delicious. The breakfast burrito is killer- get some Greek yogurt on the side to use as sour cream.. it was delish!!

    Honey pistachio latte
    Anna H.

    The green cold foam scared at first and wasn't the prettiest color mixed with the coffee but this honey pistachio latte was incredibly delicious. Not too sweet and very flavorful

    breakfast sandwich, Panini with extra cheese. I'm shocked I even took a picture before I scarfed it down.
    Nour A.

    you guys. LAVENDER HONEY LATTE is rare to find and they had it and i'm obsessed. also... i have never had a breakfast panini as incredible and satisfying as this.

    Katherine A.

    I was taking a lunch walk solo and I had a pretty good pace and ended up on 2nd street. This coffee is delicious, I recommend the latte it's $5 and delicious. They have seats outside and the view is great, lots of shade and lots of bird sounds. The service was a little slow but nothing bad, just don't anticipate a quick coffee, it's a more laid back take your time type of place. Must try in AUSTIN!

    Helene H.

    The staff was super nice and welcoming. It's feels like a retro coffee shop, very cute. I got a bacon breakfast taco, it was very tasty and the side salsa was a nice addition. The iced Turbo was very tasty, I highly recommend trying it

    Double stack and breakfast taco.
    cami c.

    Jo's is iconic so we had to try it even though the overall Yelp rating is under 4 stars. We were greeted with a friendly, "Welcome y'all" from a young man with cool old school glasses and a mullet (!!). W ordered two Migas tacos (one would be enough for me, but definitely two for him) and I ordered the Double Stack. Not usually a pancake girl, but they sounded good! And we both had almond milk lattes. The lattes were good--nothing special, but not disappointing either. The tacos had scrambled egg, cheese, and pico. Said it came with tortilla strips, but there was no crunch in the tacos, and we didn't see chips in them. Wrapped in a flour tortilla, and W asked for the spicy hot sauce. Overall pretty tasty. The flapjacks were fluffy with a slightly crispy exterior. They don't put butter on them, which is good for us because W doesn't like butter (some kind of birth defect, I think...), and they have grass fed butter at the table. I ate half the stack and W ate the rest. Overall, glad we came! Cute, clean spot right across from the W Austin hotel where we stayed. We also stopped at the location on Congress for a pic under the iconic I Love You wall.

    This place is 2 days from being a year old, and it will be known as a legendary shop soon, you…read moreshould go try the best Hanoi style egg coffee in the world before the lines become hours-long influencer feats. I mean the world, these guys aren't serving the $1.45 OG from Cafe Giang, they aren't even serving the version from Loading T, they're serving the single most luxurious premium version of what Loading T did to the Giang OG: this is the definitive version of egg coffee in the world, anyone who disagrees can fight me. This drink is so spectacular it elevates it beyond a mere delicious curiosity into a universally perfect drink. In 2-5 years every specialty coffee shop will likely be copying this as it becomes trendy. If you want to be a cool kid and drink some of the best coffee on the planet before that inevitable blow up, GO NOW! Pro tip: the gorgeous egg foam can be refreshed with an espresso shot if you choose (for extra $$ of course( so you can savor every bit of it!

Compared to Caphein, Dam has a more relaxed vibe with additional seating, which makes it a great place to hang out or get some work done. I noticed it's also a popular study spot for students, so a few extra outlets would be a nice touch. That aside, every matcha I've ordered here has been amazing in both flavor and consistency. The matcha taste actually comes through, and the drinks never feel too watered down or overly sweet. Overall, Dam is easily staying at the top of my Austin matcha list and is a spot I'd keep coming back to.

    Came to Simona's with some coworkers for happy hour and was not disappointed! This place is behind…read morethe Colton hotel off Congress ave. There is a parking lot that you can get validation for 2 hrs free, but after that you will be charged. Overall though, it's totally worth a visit! The bartenders are really friendly, the bathrooms are immaculate, and the inside of the place is really cute -- think kinda pink vintage? There are some tables, and big comfy couches around a coffee table in the middle of the bar which is where we sat. I had one of their happy hour cocktails that was similar to a creamy espresso martini, and they are 50% off on happy hour days/times! My friend got one of their floral cocktails which wasn't discounted but I LOVED it personally. I also got a strawberry matcha drink (non alcoholic) that was a little too sweet in my opinion; I finished it but wouldn't get it again. Overall though the cocktails and vibe in there are worth a visit alone! When it's not too hot, the area outside has little mini-chandeliers and is also very vibey.

    This is a review about the coffee and food aspect of Simona's…read more It is over priced. In terms of coffee, they are middle of the pack. There is much better coffee in austin. They have premium prices still. They sell pastries and they have a taco food truck connected to it. Both are still very much overpriced. I get it, they are inside a nice hotel and so they will charge a premium but at least have the quality match that.
