    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.

    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!!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Food runner is a hoity toity yankee b!t€h. He needs to do better. Also, they only have one menu item that is gluten free and it's a nasty a$$ Greek yogurt plate!!!! For $10 is absolutely insane for the yogurt they served.

    Ciera T.

    Great menu, super fast service, and love the flavor combinations. Outdoor seating is a great space to cool off from the sun in the shade, hangout with friends, or catch up on work. Street parking is around and tons to do by this area. The drinks were so good we visited twice in one weekend!

The atmosphere is laid-back and perfect for spending quality time with friends and family. We ordered a Mediterranean wrap, cold sandwiches, iced coffee, refreshing drinks, and a delicious banana muffin. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced, making it a great value for the experience. The vibe here is peaceful and inviting. Although it can get quite hot during the Texas summer, they also operate in the evening, which makes it an ideal place to unwind after sunset. We really enjoyed everything we ordered and look forward to coming back, perhaps after spending some time on the water. If you're looking for a relaxing lakeside hangout in Austin, this place is definitely worth a visit. Cheers!

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.

I usually only go to coffee shops to work, but today, went on a coffee date with my dog instead. There's ground floor parking in the garage that's complimentary for two hours. I kept it simple with a vanilla latte. I noticed they had tacos at the bottom of the food menu, but at $13.25 for two tacos + an a la carte item, I decided to pass. Maybe my expectations were too high (as usual) because it's inside a hotel, but I was hoping for the kind of warm hospitality hotels are known for, but instead, the service felt a bit cold. It didn't exactly make me want to spend more money there. While sitting on the patio, I spotted the food truck outside and thought, "PERFECT. A food truck HAS to be cheaper. Take that Simona's!" I walked up to the window... only to find out it wasn't actually a separate food truck. It was just the pickup window. To order? I had to go back inside to Simona's and place my order with the delightful staff... I ended up ordering two Blue Migas tacos, and honestly, they were just... good, but nothing memorable. They tasted like your average breakfast tacos that you can find all over Austin for less. Despite loving how relaxing the outdoor patio is with its lucious greenery surrounding you and the beautiful French chairs and cafe tables, it's located right next to the hotel pool. If you're visiting on a summer afternoon, expect some extra noise with pool guests. If you're looking for a quiet coffee or a place to work, I'd recommend coming early in the morning instead.
