The struggle is REAL for decent coffee downtown. I go here from time to time after a Pilates workout at SolidCore. I like it better than Intelligentsia and I've only had the cold brew. Definitely better than the mediocre 3.5 stars given by fellow yelpers and more than fine for just a regular Joe. read more

A Honest "Rey Eats" Review: $ May 20, 2023 Wish there were more Sugar free syrup options. However, a good variety was available and adequate alternative milk options. Seems pricey for adding syrups and alternative milk. The coffee is mediocre and prefer other coffee shops in the area over this place. Overall, would not recommend and was disappointing for coffee and customer service. Additional Notations: The place is like a old school diner. However the customer service was not there for me. The line was not long but me and my girlfriend did not feel welcomed. The person at the register was busy talking to their coworker instead of helping us. read more

Jo's Coffee Downtown - Iced Turbo - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Came here with a friend I was visiting. Cute stand with plenty of seating, especially if you walk to the back left of the stand! I got the Belgian Bomber since I wanted a less sweet drink. Good, but nothing special, and slightly watery. I didn't feel like the coffee and other additions tasted as fresh as my drink from Summer Moon the day before. Otherwise, service was quick, and the atmosphere was great! Be sure to check out the iconic "i love you so much." wall while you're there. read more

This place was super cute and VERY popular. We had coffee, breakfast burrito, breakfast sandwich, and a homemade pop tart. Our food was decently good, the salsas with he burrito were super tasty and the bacon I added was a key bonus. Breakfast sandwich was pretty good - basic. Honestly, the best part for my boyfriend was the handmade pop tart/hand pie. It was so good, flaky crust, tasty filling. It was so good, we tried to go back the next day only to find out they had sold out which sent us on a quest to find something similar nearby. Jo's is a staple in Austin and the one on South Congress is where you will find more food options and the I love you so much sign. Great experience overall! read more

Jo's Coffee offers coffee, breakfast tacos, deli sandwiches, and burgers. I ordered a hazelnut latte, vegan taco, and their potato egg and cheese taco. My latte was served warm which is how I prefer my coffee and tacos were very delicious. The service I got there was fantastic and there was plenty of seating inside and out if you wanted to dine in. It is also a great place on the go or if you want to sit for a bit to work or study. Definitely a big recommendation for me if you are in Austin. read more

First, this places is extremely over hyped. The food is less than mediocre and the coffee is disgusting. I don't know why this place is rated top coffee places because the coffee is nasty. Second, I ordered 2 bacon, egg, & cheese tacos, and 3 of the fried eggs sandwiches.... My son loves bacon but the food was very bland. Also my son ended up vomiting up all of his food. I'm not sure what they put in their tacos and sandwiches but my son never had issues with eggs or bacon but whatever it was it up set his stomach to the point he threw it all up. This place is super over priced, $9 for a bacon egg cheese sandwich is ridiculous. I can but 4 cartons of eggs and a pack of bacon for $9. Over I'm disgusted with this place, the person taking my order had dirty finger nails. So I don't think this place is the cleanest which is a turn off especially with Covid. I'll never return to this establishment and I DONT recommend it. read more

I liked it, but I wouldn't say it blew my socks off. Located on South Congress it's a hip hipster spot that is so fun to visit. I'd return, I need coffee after all! Nice st read more

We came around noon to Jo's and there wasn't too long of a wait to order (maybe 5 minutes) There is a lot of seating options (inside and outside) so we sat outside because we could move/combine tables with our friends. I got the potato taco and the local legend beer. The potato taco could have had more flavor, but they a variety of hot sauces that you could put on it. The avocado toast was good, but the eggs were a little too runny for me (more runny than the eggs on a Benedict). If you choose to come here, definitely budget some time because it took a great deal of time for our food to come out. read more

Ordered the large mocha today for a light pick me up. Drink was smooth and balanced. Additionally tried out Jo's chili bowl. The chili is pretty tasty and a rather generous portion of all beef chili, topped with sweet onions, green onions, sour cream and cheddar cheese. I'd come back for the chili! read more

I have been a few times to both get some coffee and eat. This place is describes Austin in a nutty shell with artwork, unique design, and great atmosphere. The food is quite good and so was the coffee. There is seating inside and outside. Outdoor seating is nice where you can watch people walk by and enjoy the outdoors. This is a downtown street business so they have no parking so best place to park is at City Hall. This recent visit was to grab a cup of coffee to go. The line was short, service was excellent, and staff was friendly. Coffee here is very smooth and tasty, and best part I use a punch card to get free drinks. read more

Jo's has consistently good coffee and I've stopped in many times for a quick cup. They are well known for their Iced Turbo which is their twist on an iced coffee. It's good but he warned its very sweet. Yesterday we decided to stay a bit and order food which we were disappointed in. We ordered the nachos, a burger, and the turkey sandwich. The nachos came out cold and we did not finish them. One of the workers later admitted that they had left the nachos sitting in the kitchen for a while because they have been told not to bring out any food until the full order is prepared. The turkey sandwich was nothing special -- could have made the same thing at home. They listed the sandwich as coming with avocado, but don't expect any slices here. The sandwich has a VERY thin spread of mashed avocado that you could not taste. The burger was very greasy and soaked all of the toppings in grease. Would not recommend. On a positive note, the fries were great! In short, I would recommend Jo's for a quick drink but would not suggest sticking around for a full meal. read more

A cute cafe with retro themed decor that offers coffee, breakfast tacos, and free wifi. If you are looking to grab a quick bite, or pick up some coffee, I definitely recommend stopping in here to do so. I ordered the iced turbo which is their signature drink which is made with Coffee, Espresso, Cream, Hazelnut , and Chocolate. Definitely a coffee spot with a local, small business feel. read more

Jo's is located in a very pleasant neighborhood. We stopped in for a quick breakfast before heading down to the river. There was a line but it moved fairly quickly. Placed my order and took a seat on the front patio. The menu here is fairly extensive. And you can also order beer and wine if that's to your liking. I had an iced turbino to help with the heat of the day. I also had a Miga breakfast taco. It's a small taco filled with scrambled eggs, bacon bits and potato. It was just enough to start my day! read more

We came to Jo's specifically for breakfast on NYE 2019. The menu states extended holiday breakfast hours. The lady directly in front of us was allowed to order breakfast. When our turn to order came up, we were informed that regular breakfast hours applied and we could only order lunch. Note, the lady in front of us ordered her breakfast after their normal breakfast hours (ends at 11, yet she ordered at 11:07) #inconsistent with your service and stated policies (breakfast served later on holidays). How much trouble is really to continue making breakfast tacos and avo toast on NYE? We keep seeing eggs come out of the kitchen at 11:28. #fail read more

Coffee was fine. Extremely overpriced breakfast tacos and sandwich. I suck at cooking and could have easily made these at home in less than 5 minutes and they would have tasted the same or possibly better. read more

The breakfast tacos are good and a must-try here. We got two potato/egg/cheese and two bacon/egg/cheese. The green and red salsa have the proper heat to enjoy the flavors. You can't go wrong with coffee and breakfast tacos. Try their iced turbo, which is not too sweet and smooth. read more

The food is good, but the staff are better. I'm a sucker for someone remembering my order, but I'd like to give a special shout-out to Julia. I came in the other day Having lost my voice to get a hot tea. When she saw me about to add honey, she stopped me and offered to mix the honey up with hot water first so that it wouldn't just sink to the bottom of the cup. A small but thoughtful action that I appreciated very much. read more

Amazing!!! Belgian bomber is just what I needed after a long day at Barton Springs Great service, amazing coffee and friendly service. read more

Have always loved your food and service, Jo's, but your menu is inaccurate and I gotta draw the line. Smash burger on the menu says "TWO SMASH BURGERS" for $16. Sounds like a good deal, but then you only served one burger. Asked the waitress and she said, "oh, that's only on Tuesdays haha." False advertising? Rip-off alert? Sad. read more

This location on 2nd Street is a great spot. The cafe has both indoor and patio seating. The patio area is a great spot to see the hustle and bustle of downtown. The patio provides great views to the 2nd Street where trees along the sidewalk are lit up all along the stretch. The cafe serves beverages, tacos, sandwiches and sides. I stopped in for an iced chai which was pretty good. read more

All I really wanted to do was run to the bathroom. But the strong aromas of the food here got the best of my stomach's cries, so I eventually gave in. When my eyes wandered on the menu, the Mushroom Patty Melt was the very first thing that caught my eye and I went with in. I didn't think much when I ordered it--I love almost anything and everything in the fungi family tree, so naturally, I knew it couldn't be bad no matter what. Let me tell you, this was absolutely delicious and probably one of the most memorable food experiences in my short time in Austin--beef patty with melted (READ: STRINGY) swiss cheese, topped with mushrooms, sandwiched with Texas toast breads and herb aioli spread--it was amazing. Granted, I felt like shit afterwards but it was worth it. It was juicy, flavorful, and the toast was cooked perfectly and the herb aioli went well with the mushrooms. If this had potato buns, I think I'd be overwhelmed but since it was on a toast, it wasn't heavy and was just the right amount of food I needed to refuel since I'd been walking around Downtown Austin for hours. A bit pricey for the sandwich itself ($10.50), which doesn't come with any sides. The outside seating is really nice and chill, especially for people watching, but beware of the pigeons since the trees hang above the seats and you can see pigeon droppings on the tables and chairs. Thankfully, the birds let me eat in peace. Can't say I'll have the same luck next time! read more

This is the best little place I happened upon walking Sunday morning in downtown Austin. They have good coffee and the cutest little dang tacos! Yum. Had one migas and the other potato.

Great place to start your morning! Good coffee, plenty of seats to sit down and plan your eating adventure for the day especially if you are from out of town. Great people watching as well, dead center of downtown. Oh, and coffee is great as well. I had a double shot of espresso with some lavender syrup, delicious! read more

This place is now a new favorite! I couldn't help but be Amazed by the culture at @joscoffee in Austin. I loved how dog friendly it was, but they go further by spreading so much positivity with every customer. Thank you for standing strong in allyship with the LGBTQIA+ community. I definitely had to get their coffee that supports TENT (transgender education network of Texas) one of the largest trans-led, trans-focused organizations in Texas, that works to halt discrimination through social, legislative, and corporate education. The food was tasty! I want to come here every time I'm in Austin. read more

Great spot. Charming, lots of character, reasonably quick service...(though when one orders an iced coffee light on the ice, one does mean light on the ice, pls). Plus the vegan tacos were killer and I'm no vegan. read more

Like a deliciously sweet iced coffee? The Iced Turbo at Jo's is your drink; Its absolutely awesome on a hot summer morning when you are in a rush and in the mood for something quick! We've also tried the breakfast tacos which they have prepped and ready to go (virtually zero wait time). They're fine, again, great if you are in a rush. Ask for extra salsa! We got the: POTATO TACO MIGAS TACO PICADILLO TACO BACON TACO read more

I came here in search for their pink beet latte. I got sidetracked by their turbo iced coffee. Turbo is pre-made, I was disappointed. I guess I expected consistency in every fresh cup made. Was it good? Yeah, I'll probably try something else next time though. Hopefully, if the pink beet latte is around. Belgium bomber was FLAVORLESS not worth the $$, in my humble opinion. It lacked flavor to me. At least turbo was creamy (from lotsa milk!).... between the two, I'd take turbo. The service was uber slow... hunger pangs slow!! We sat outside and braved the flying rats (pigeons) they have hanging out their. My avocado with egg came in before my husbands egg sandwich. I was done eating and he was still waiting. Mind u, I took so much pics of the food & made friends with the dogs outside before I slowly ate my food. He was still waiting. My turbo drink was long gone and so was his Belgian bomber & still no food. I politely asked the cashier to check on his order and the lady acted so impatient. Wait... shouldn't we, the paying customer be acting that way?! When the food came, the lady who delivered it looked annoyed and said u see her breath "Sor....(turned away)...ry for the wait" and was outta there.... TURBO STYLE! His food was cold so we know it was overlooked with how busy they were. His sandwich was forgotten and they (2 staff members) were halfway rude about it. I think Jo's has been so popular and so busy that they forget to be hospitable and polite like the southerns do, after all, we are still in Texas. read more
