Amazing service. Staff is super friendly and informative. They made my dog and I feel so welcome and loved. Coffees are delicious! I need to come back for their baked goods. read more

I ordered the Honey Nut Latte and the Thai Brew. I thought the Honey Nut Latte was bitter but fine. The Thai Brew was awful and I am hoping it was just made incorrectly. I am really hesitant to order again with how expensive the coffees are. read more

COFFEE FLIGHTS! I saw that Lucky Lab had this option and I couldn't wait to invite my friends out to try a flight of coffee. They have a variety of options, various parking (pay at the meter), and you can even bring your dog! I believe it's all completely outdoors so it's perfect for a sunny day. Now, on to the good stuff: Surprisingly, the coffee was less sweet than I anticipated. However, I loved the variety of flavors (lavender and vanilla, cold brew, etc) I also appreciated that they didn't JUST have coffee. The hibiscus was a little tart but the lemonade was wonderful. Would 100% recommend. read more

Since being back on campus & wanting to support a local business/coffeeshop, I decided to come back to lucky lab twice. Both times at different locations: their flagship store on guad & their on campus coffee shop inside the jackson building of geosciences. At those two locations, I ordered different items: a chai latte ($5.68) and a matcha oat milk latte ($7.03). First, I was shocked at the increase in prices as these drinks were your standard medium size. Second, I was hoping there would be actual matcha flavors and chai but they were yet again solely drowned out by the milk. Essentially, both drinks tasted like cereal milk, not coffee. Therefore, I do not plan on coming back or spending 7 dollars on an extremely mid coffee. I hope things change for the better! read more

Lucky Lab Coffee - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

My favorite coffee that I've had in Austin! Wow I was so impressed! The bees knees latte blew me away, I could taste the full flavor profile (which were all of my favorites combined- lavender, honey, rosemary ). If it was closer to me I'd go more often, but unfortunately it is a bit of a commute and the parking situation isn't ideal (very limited and lots nearby come at a fee). But if you're just running in real quick then you'll be fine. We stayed for our drinks and luckily found two stools at the bartop, otherwise we would have been out of luck as that small bartop is the only indoor seating and then the small patio was full. Next time I'm in the area I'll for sure return! read more

Strong coffee, seemed locally sourced and prime to the university belt of Austin. The location is smartly placed in heart of where student walk by it, so conveniently promoted for breakfast/quick bite needs. The place is small inside however they offer a window from the outside where you can order. The outside patio/area has a great amount of shade and seating area with picnic benches/tables. It sits on a corner where Food Trucks are also gathered around each other. read more

I ordered their version of the strawberry pop tart called a hand pie and was highly shocked and disappointed. The middle of the pastry was not jam-like not anything close to what you expect from a pie of any sort. It was more like an off color paste and you can tell it's been really old, definitely not fresh. On top of that, when I called into the restaurant to notify them of the issues, they just said we'll let the baker or chef know to bake them fresh each morning insinuating that they normally don't. Lastly, they didn't offer any type of refund or compensation. I will not be ordering from here again. read more

Lucky Lab Coffee - Strawberry Hand Pie - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Lucky Lab is a classic coffee shop conveniently located in West Campus. They have well-priced coffee, tea, and bakery items. It is very small inside, and the outdoor seating is not very clean and is shared in a plaza with other restaurants. It is always busy and lively whenever I walk by as it is a great spot for UT students. I've heard the wifi is unreliable. read more

I wish i could give this coffee shop 100 stars. I went here for the first time today and it won't be the last. Their coffees are SO unique and so delicious. I got the dark chocolate strawberry basil latte. I also tried the Thai brew. The space is small inside but there's bar seating. Outside has plenty of room to sit and work. I'm obsessed with this place. New favorite for sure! read more

They are really nice and the place is cute, but that espresso machine is going to waste. If I wanted "a little bit of drip coffee" I would have said that, but I asked for a double espresso, and whatever I drank was certainly not even close. To be more helpful than an as*, I think you'll want to grind your beans a lot finer and tamp them appropriately so it will result in higher pressures while brewing and more extraction. I'm assuming your beans are made for brewing espresso, so that should not be a problem read more

The frittata rocks! Nutella pop tart yummy! Coffee great! And Lucky Lab logo the best.

I believe this is one of the best coffee shops in Austin. It's located super close to the UT-Austin campus and tucked away on a side street, but if you're in the area, I'd say grab a cup to go and a snack. It's a small but quick ordering system at a window and the employees are helpful for those who need help deciding what kind of drinks to choose from (if you have a hard time deciding like me). read more

Second day in a row so there must be something good right? Needed some caffeine yesterday and got a latte - way too much foam but "I'll mention it next time". Came in again today and wanted to try hot food as well.....ordered frittata and latte again...mentioned the foam situation and voila! No foam this time and absolutely delicious....the frittata is delicious as well.....mushrooms/potatoes - great spice etc....When asked if I needed my card punched I said "sure but I was here yesterday and didn't realize". Without being asked she just gave me two punches.....Is that a big deal in general? / Not really but a huge lesson in customer relations....took an extra step - remedied problem from day before and a place that I really didn't go to will become a regular second semester.....two fixes made me a $70 customer ( bought two cute shirts as well). This was the "Drag" location..... read more

This is a great little coffee shop tucked in by campus. Located on San Antonio St., there's paid street parking and a 15-minute customer service spot. There are lots of seating options outside that are covered. I don't think there's even an inside to the place, it's a window service shop. The baristas were friendly and efficient. This is the second day in a row that I've had a really good cold brew add a new to me a coffee shop. Once again smooth, full-flavored, not acidic or bitter. I also picked up a coffee cake muffin. I don't know if they make these in house but gosh are they good! I can't wait to go back here and work outside and enjoy another delicious coffee drink. read more

Lucky Lab Coffee - Order window and covered patio - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Love their coffee and their staff are so nice! Dripping Springs location is great with a drive thru.

I love a good coffee shop. Since I was near campus, I decided to check out Lucky Lab. Been wanting to go for awhile, but I don't wander to campus often. I ordered off of their seasonal menu and the staff here is friendly, with good suggestions. I was convinced to order the Dark Chocolate Hazelnut latte (with almond milk), and also a Thai Brew (iced) for my sister. The dark chocolate hazelnut latte was to die for. The right amount of caffeine kick I need/want and creamy sweetness. The Thai brew was a slight miss for us, bc we expected a little more creaminess, but it seemed a little more watered down than we preferred. Granted I was hoping for more Thai Tea creamy taste, but it only had notes of Thai tea in it. But definitely would return and try again! read more

Really nice café with a ton of outdoor seating. Truly perfect for yesterday's warm and sunny weather. I came here with a friend around 2 pm in the afternoon and the place was buzzing with students and young crowd of visitors. There's an order counter facing the street and then they call out your name when the drink is ready. Because the same window is taking orders and handing out drinks, things can get a bit crowded and messy, but the employees are very efficient in managing the crowds. I got the lavender mint iced latte, which was ready in just a few minutes. Unfortunately the mint flavor was not noticeable at all, yet the lavender was perfect. Not too strong to overpower the drink, but still present. I'm guessing they use a lavender simple syrup because the drink was rather sweet. It definitely was refreshing and rejuvenating after a busy morning. Most of the outdoor seating is shaded by umbrellas and I didn't notice if they had any indoor seating. I really loved the laidback energy of the place and will definitely come back read more

I was really excited to try this place after following them on social media for some time. They are always rotating fun flavor combos and seasonal drinks. They have house made syrups, pastries etc. However I left completely disappointed. I ordered the honey nut latte (iced) and what i got was more closely related to sugar water. The coffee was opaque whitish tint and the coffee (what little coffee flavor there was) tasted burnt. The outside seating and patio are great for the university and i can imagine this place is popular with the students for its convenience and good rewards program. Personally i would say starbucks is a few steps up. I really wanted to love this place... i just couldnt. read more

Enjoyed visiting this local spot during my brief stay in Austin. Friendly local vibes courtesy of U of T-Austin and the ambiance is exactly what it should be: good peoples, good cafe and good brews. Walking distance from the condos and college campus. Happy to go back. read more

I don't know about the coffee, but the pumpkin cream cheese muffin is delicious and moist. To me, it took a little long just to get a muffin. They did warm it up for me though. I was so scared it was going to be dry, but it wasn't! Sorry no pictures. I already started eating it read more

Giving three stars for the atmosphere and concept. But giving three stars because the product was not great and expensive. I got the winter favorite coffee flight and a vegan dark chocolate banana bread and both were just... disappointing lol. The banana bread was SO DRY and here's a breakdown of the flight. Cinnamon rosemary latte -- got with almond milk as suggested and only tasted rosemary winter citrus cold brew -- got with oat milk and literally tasted nothing.. where's the coffee?! pomegranate vanilla spiced lemonade -- sad to say this was the best thing I had and sucks because I wanted good coffee lol Yule tide - this tasted like coffee because it was two shots of espresso with Thai tea lmao but really not the coffee experience I was hoping for There was no body to any of these drinks, maybe it was my bad for getting them iced because when I was drinking them it was all just so watered down and no coffee flavor. For $25 I would hope for some really epic coffee and pastry... but I didn't get that here. Sad! read more

Lovely spot for coffee or a quick snack by campus. Baked good made fresh in house. Tasty stuff croissants and hand pies. People seem to really like their creative cold coffee concoctions with creative add ins. I stuck to the cappuccino out of habit. Order inside or out. Most seating is outdoors. Fast friendly service. Lines can build up at peak times in the morning when classes are in session but the staff moves quickly through orders. In a hurry? Don't heat up your pastry they are just fine out of the case. read more

What a cute coffee shop! We were staying near campus and found this place. It has a really cute back patio with corn hole, tables, string lights, etc. we sat outside and enjoyed the nice Texas weather. I had the strawberry rose cold brew. It was ok but I wish I had time to go back and try other things because a lot of the drinks looked amazing! We also split a Nutella banana hand pie which was to die for. We had a great experience here. read more

I love coffee and I love dogs. I have black lab/golden retriever mixes so when I saw this place, I knew I had to stop in. It was busy, but so worth the wait. I got a cute tumbler, a sticker, and a large hot caramel latte. Probably one of the best lattes I've ever had. The coffee has a warm nutty flavor and was smooth. The caramel and oat milk were the perfect level of sweetness without being too sweet. I can't wait to bring my dogs next time I'm in Austin. They are extremely dog friendly, have a great outdoor area to sit in, and the inside, while small, is really cute. Definitely will be back. read more

Just around the corners from my sons place and thought we'd stop in for an Iced Americano with sweet cream. Oh so yummy! The ladies were so sweet and told us what we needed to know and submitted our order. Absolutely tasty, quick and such a cute place! We will be back! read more

Watered down and overpriced coffee, but the service is always nice. The location is right across the street from UT which is great, just wish the coffee was a bit stronger. read more

Great local business to support! I would recommend the iced vanilla lavender latte with almond milk if you like sweet drinks. They have the best cheese everything croissant! The baristas are friendly, and there is free wifi. The inside seating is very small and limited, but there is a lot of outdoor seating. read more

Awesome place to hang out, by yourself or with friends. We were surprised by the quality and variety of the food and drinks. The shady, breezy side porch is an oasis for people Luke us, wanting to get out of the A/C without broiling in the Texas sun. Already planning our next visit! read more

*3.5 stars review. Came for a quick pick me up and the Bees Knees Sweet Cream Latte caught my eye. I'm not big of sweet things and I was mainly concerned that the drink would be too sweet for me. Unfortunately, adjusting the sweetness meant adjusting the rest of the flavors so I decided to get the drink as is. Definitely thought it was too sweet. I loved the lavender but I couldn't really enjoy it until the ice melted (aka diluted sweetness). I also got to try a bit of the Coconut Mint Cold Brew and thought that was too sweet for my liking as well. read more

I've given this place a shot multiple times as it seems to hold a lot of popularity. Unfortunately I have continually been dissapointed each time I've received what can only be described as a watered down latte. Most recently I ordered an Iced Matcha. I'm sure you can tell by the color, it was not good. I could not taste the matcha at all it was essentially just slightly bitter milk. Perhaps its just not for me, but really any other coffee shop would be better. read more

A cute little coffee spot on a back street. I went here multiple times while I stayed at The Moxy. The girls were lovely , friendly and easy to talk to. The coffee is pretty good and they have some good little treats as well, like pop tart hand pies, cookies and brownies . read more

Absolutely loved our morning at Lucky Lab. I'm always down to try a new (new to me at least) coffee shop and definitely always down to go somewhere I can bring my (giant) pup too. The staff here was great, line was a little slow but customer service was great. Cold brew and chai latte were both delicious and the pop tart-esque pastries were AMAZING. Also loved the outdoor seating available. Plenty spread out and plenty of it to go around for everyone. It was also neat that it wasn't all just traditional table and chairs. Will definitely be back many more times! read more

Came here while visiting Austin in search of their coffee flight. Never heard of this in any other city I've been to and I'm always looking for coffee places. I got hot apple cider, gingerbread chai, and two other seasonal flavors that are slipping my mind. The gingerbread chai latte was the standout, and something I wish I could drink every day. They were all tasty. There were also sweet treats and I got a fresh slice of zucchini bread. More than anything, it was a really cool concept for anyone who loves coffee. I noticed this was right by a college campus; I probably would have done a lot better in college if I had a place like this on campus to get hopped up on delicious seasonal lattes. Oh well haha read more

As we arrived for lunch at another location, we happened to park in front of Lucky Lab...as we started to our destination, we heard them call a name saying "Your Pop tart is Ready"....the wife and I both looked at each other, and we knew what we were getting when we left....Along with a couple amazing Mocha Lattes we picked out a strawberry Pop tart....The crust was flaky, light and buttery....the filling was awesome and the icing was just the right about of sweet that you need...This is far from the Pop Tart I grew up with, and actually will be hard to buy box Pot Tarts again...This was a lucky find for us for sure and we will keep this on the radar for some to-go orders. read more

Our group woke up to walk to Torchy's Tacos and saw this was on the way so we stopped by. There's outside seating for the pick-up/to-go window as well as indoor seating that has A/C if you need a break from the humidity. There's a water bowl for dogs as well as treats inside next to the water dispenser. The cashier was super nice and made sure to get all of our drink orders before working on them to ensure we weren't separately waiting. They had some "Summertime Specials" with a wide variety of drinks from lattes to cold brews. Raspberry Coconut Latte (M - $5.79): I got almond milk since I'm lactose intolerant but the drink tasted delicious even with the substitution. It had light flavors of raspberry but I felt like the sweetness level compared to other drinks our group tried. Coconut Mint Cold Brew : This was EXTREMELY sweet, so definitely ask for light sweetness if you're sensitive to sugar. Otherwise, you definitely taste the mint in this drink, and it's super refreshing. Bees Knees Sweet Cream Latte (M - $5.15): Not as sweet as the Coconut Mint Cold Brew, but still sweeter than the Raspberry Coconut Latte. It has nice floral notes from the lavender. My friends who got the sweeter drinks didn't enjoy theirs as much but I loved my drink. A little on the pricier side than what I'm used to for specialty coffees, but they were pretty good! read more

Great taste and service! They have a walk up window to order. The line was long (it's was a Saturday morning so it's too be expected) but it moved fast and worth the wait!

Lucky Lab Coffee - Coffee Flight and Strawberry Handpie (boujie pop tart) - Desserts Near Me - Austin, Texas

Coffee was solid but the location and outdoor seating was not what I was expecting. Parking is free on Sundays but pretty much paid any other time. My pups and I got there early enough to beat the heat, not too much shade. The pastries looked great and the dogs got some treats. I'll wait until the inside or other locations open before coming again. I just didn't feel comfortable with my dogs here during covid read more

I love coming to this coffee shop to study! The ambiance is amazing and there's tons of great seating areas to study or hangout with friends when the weather is nice. The only downside is the fact that the prices are pretty high. Their smallest sizes (equivalent to a Starbucks tall) on some drinks go up to $5 with tax, so high! Definitely not somewhere I can grab a drink from on the daily. In terms of food and drinks, I recommend their seasonal specials and their hand pies. The seasonal specials are always so unique and I never know what to expect when I taste them. The combinations are super unexpected, but pair so well together (ex. orange mocha latte from winter menu). Their hand pies are also house made and fresh everyday! read more
