My favorite coffee spot in Austin, and I'm sure it's a favorite for many others too. This place serves amazing coffee along with delicious desserts. They've even started serving Indian samosas now, which was such a nice surprise. The views here are beautiful, and the overall vibe is so relaxing. They also host some really fun events, so definitely check out their events calendar before visiting. Highly recommend this spot if you're in Austin. read more

Mozart's is a stole in Austin, it is a must to stop by when in Austin. Located next to Lake Austin you get a beautiful view as you sit outside and enjoy a pastry or coffee. Coffee is lovely and their pastries are good. Service is fast and kind. Several restrooms available, big outdoor patio, inside it is cabin like and a lot of souvenirs & cute Knick knacks sold. Definitely worth stopping by every time I'm in Austin. read more

First time visiting this hidden gem in Austin, and it definitely exceeded our expectations! Conveniently located right next to the lake, this spot offers a beautiful deck with a scenic view where you can relax and enjoy your meal. 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! read more

Came here to grab a pastry and get some work done and had another great experience. The view here is beautiful, coffee is good, and food is solid. Only complaint is that my croissant did get a little burnt when they warmed it up but not a big deal! Definitely recommend stopping here if you're in the area! read more

We came for the coffee after reading a lot of reviews. While there was nothing particularly extraordinary about the coffee or the smoothie that looks more like a juice ,we still had a nice time overall. The view was beautiful, and the live music was a really nice added touch that made the experience more enjoyable. The register area could use a little more organization since it felt somewhat chaotic at times, and parking was also difficult to find. Overall, it's a good place to visit for the experience and atmosphere. read more

Have you ever eaten something and it was so delicious you kept craving that item? Well, that happened to me today. I went by Mozart coffee roasters not for coffee but for a sausage taco. I love that their tacos are so meaty, flavorful and so enjoyable to eat. In retrospect, I should've bought two instead of one, however, I did not want to overdose on tacos today. Just like a number of businesses, Mozart's coffee roasters are featuring Easter related items. They have the cutest little sugar cookies with a Easter theme. My server was friendly and quick. So, was in and out in lightning speed. read more

Mozart's Cafe was such a pleasant surprise. I stopped by on a Tuesday night because I wanted a hot cup of coffee after dinner, and I was so happy to find a place open until midnight when most other coffee shops were already closed. That alone made it a great find, but what made the experience even better was discovering that they also had live entertainment on Tuesday night until 11. It turned a simple coffee stop into a really enjoyable evening. I ordered a coffee and a brownie, and while the total was a little on the expensive side, around $15 or $16, it felt completely worth it to me. The quality was there, and everything felt a bit more gourmet than your average coffee shop stop. The brownie was delicious, the coffee was exactly what I wanted, and the overall atmosphere made the price feel justified. Between the free entertainment, the beautiful decor, and the location, it felt like much more than just paying for coffee and dessert. One of the best parts of the experience was the setting. Being right on the water made it especially beautiful at night. You can enjoy your drink, take a walk, look at the lights, and just soak in the scenery. It was the perfect place to unwind after a heavy meal and a long workday. Since I was only in Austin for work and do not live in the area, I was really glad I found somewhere that felt special and relaxing instead of just functional. The staff was also very friendly, which added a lot to the experience. Good service always makes a difference, and here it made the place feel even more welcoming. Overall, I definitely recommend Mozart's Cafe if you are looking for a late-night coffee spot with charm, scenery, and a unique atmosphere. I would absolutely go back again. read more

From Chicago, first time at Mozart's today for brunch. Here are my thoughts: -This place is crazy popular! We arrived around 11am on a Sunday morning, very large space and it was packed all morning with people waiting in long lines to order food. -Service was friendly, good, and reasonably efficient. We waited about 15 minutes in line and our food came out in less than 10 minutes. -Outdoor seating overlooks Lake Austin and the atmosphere is fantastic! Lots of collegey students, young couples, families, etc. -They had live music, which had a folk feel. Really nice, not too loud, but certainly added to the cool vibe. -I ordered the chicken empanada, which was larger than I expected, flaky crust--very good. Green salsa was fire! -Also ordered the mocha special, which has caramel--good coffee. Highly recommended!! read more

This place is definitely a local classic and very popular with residents. It's right by the water, and every time I come here it's packed with people, clearly a go-to spot. The pastries are okay, but nothing particularly memorable. The coffee is decent and enjoyable, but not something that really stands out on its own. That said, this place isn't really about outstanding food or drinks, it's all about the atmosphere. The location by the water, the lively crowd, and the overall vibe are what make it special. It's a great spot to sit, relax, and soak in the local energy. Just don't come expecting exceptional pastries or specialty coffee. Come for the ambiance, not the menu, and you'll enjoy it. read more

A cafe by the water, what more could you ask for? And you get a great view of people out on the river too, to which my friends were watching some SUP yogis balance precariously and eventually fall in. Anyways, the food selection is pretty varied, I usually get a fruit tart and this last time I tried the pretzel bun BEC and it was a chungus delicioso. I also got their March special latte, Galway Girl, which was yum. Definitely check out this cute space as they usually have live music even throughout the day. An Austin classic for sure. read more

Visited to try a coffee and pastry. The sugar cookie latte was alright. The pistachio cannoli was excellent. There was a very long line. Waited about 15 minutes to order and another 5 to get my order. They had live music and plenty of seating. The outdoor seating is perfect next to the lake especially during cooler weather. I would definitely come back for just the ambiance alone. It was very relaxing. read more

This is by far my favorite coffee shop out here so far. It is right on the water so you can sit outside and overlook the lake. It's so cute. They have so many tasty pastries to choose from. Everything I've gotten here has been fabulous. I've been several times now. The also have all kinds of activities they do here like live music, movies, yoga and paddle boarding. They have a calendar of events. I love that. Service has always been super quick and friendly. I highly recommend this place. read more

We visited Mozart's Holiday Market on 12/27 and paid $6 for general admission. The price was fair, but the flow and directions from staff weren't very clear. We were directed straight to the GA bleachers, and not having been to Mozart's before, it was confusing to figure out where to go. We eventually found a site map, but it was hard to interpret when there was such a large crowd. When we finally figured out how to get back over to Mozart's (back over the GA entrance), we got in a line that moved quickly. The Snack, Crackle, Pop had great gingerbread flavor, the Nutcracker's Garden had bright lavender without tasting soapy, and the vegan gingerbread cupcake was delicious. Once the live performance started, the atmosphere came together, and the separately ticketed boat tour was a relaxing highlight. Overall, the boat ride and coffee/snacks really saved the experience for us, but clearer guidance from staff would really improve the experience for first-time visitors. read more

Coffee, Specialty Coffee drinks, sandwiches, tacos, pastries and desserts. All absolutely wonderful.

Absolutely loved this coffee shop! The ambiance is unlike anything else I've ever experienced at a coffee shop! Service was friendly and prompt too! Pace yourself though because there's always a line!!! I had their Draft Latte iced (not pictured) with Hazelnut flavoring that was awesome! I like mine extra sweet so I added some splend sugar to it also and their Strawberry Cream Cheese cupcake was sooooo delish! Must try if you're in ATX for sure! You won't regret it! read more

I come here every now and again, and typically because someone else I know wants to go. It's a nice spot. I feel like Christmas time is the best time of year to come because the decor is great and they make great use of lights in their outdoor space. The inside areas are nice as well, but there's way more space outside and it's all pretty clean. The coffee and matcha lattes are delicious, but they are nothing that I would drive out of the way for. It's a good cafe. The pastry case typically has a ton of good looking items, but I've only had the blueberry muffin. It's solid! Someone else has told me that the chocolate chip cookie is good too. The baristas are all nice and fast. They are so great at turning out all the orders they get when the cafe gets crowded. Parking is annoying though, you're best bet is across the street and further down than you'd think you'd have to go. read more

Lovely site on Lake Austin; great views with the rustic feeling and delicious baked items and coffee. Plus a nice selection of souvenirs for those passing by. Music on some evenings adds to the great atmosphere. Took one star down because of wait. High traffic and kind, fast but over capacity barista which makes the wait a little longer; fixable with some little time study. Also a vintage roasting machine adds to the flair. Regardless a visit totally recommended read more

The real win at Mozart's is the sizable patio that sits near the water. That said, they have lots of treats (and bites) that are almost just as good! I opted for a spinach quiche. I was surprised by how tasty it was! It was filling without being heavy and a great value for the price. I couldn't say no to a case full of deserts. The red velvet cupcake did not disappoint. read more

Coffee and dessert done right. My latte was made very well. Coffee tasted great, no burnt beans here. I just wanna come they understand the meaning of no foam and really deliver a nice well-made latte. Their tiramisu was incredible. The couple I brought to this establishment had heard about the tiramisu, and they both raved about it. Friday night they had live music on the stage, and the local talent delivered. Overall, Mozart remains one of Austin's wonderful places to take family and friends to enjoy a nice sunset and a good coffee and dessert. read more

Y'all!!! Mozart's has changed so much over the years, as it should evolve. But I was so disappointed last night. It's no longer the experience I enjoyed as an annual tradition with family and friends. We started going after my son and I moved here in 2012. It was all about getting your hot cocoa and watching the light show production at the top of the hour. There was no entry fee or sit-down fee or reservation required. But now... It's $50 to sit in the bleachers or $300 to reserve a VIP table for four. The hot cocoa is a little more than $10 and the light show is gone. We sat there anticipating a light show to begin after entertainment but it never did. The production is now kicked off with a local performer/singer that has a funny style and sings traditional Christmas songs with the twist. Her voice was amazing, But no light show. The mega screen did have some animations that went along with what she was singing but it was nothing special at all. Then when she was done performing there was a weird nutcracker fire show that you either had to get up and go to the ledge to watch on the lake or watch it on the mega screen. This is when the majority of the people got up and left. We decided to sit it out in hopes of a light show. When we saw more people leaving I got up and asked the sound man if there was going to be a light show production, He said no there's about to be a play musical. I was like, okay we will wait. Well, It was not a play musical it was a live band and trained opera singers singing songs about He is Risen , Joseph and Mary and the birth of Jesus. Their voices were amazing but it definitely wasn't my thing. We did finally leave about 10 minutes before the show was over. P.S. It's an hour and a half of singing and a fire show on the lake. All in all I am just so disappointed in what Mozart's has turned into. It's not the same and we won't return. We will more than likely do the boat tour for the lights. That looked fun and it's reasonably priced. read more

Toddy Brau Cold Brew lives up to its reputation. It's among the best cold brew coffee I've had. I got it as part of a Breakfast Combo (for $13) with Vegan Tacos, which were good. So was the Texas Pecan Coffee Cake. The entire cafe is composed of wood construction, in a style that reminds me of an English pub. There is a variety of indoor and outdoor seating options. I like the view overlooking the river. This place filled up fast with customers on the Saturday morning of my visit. There are plenty of items available in the gift shop, including apparel, mugs, and different varieties of coffee beans. I look forward to trying more items from their menu in the future. read more

Came here for the Christmas celebration, and this was by far my favorite one yet. The hot chocolate with the marshmallow was amazing. The lights looked incredible this year, with shows, more seating, music, and great service. The boat ride was sold out for the night, but it looked like it would have been awesome too. I highly recommend coming to Mozart's to check out the Christmas lights. read more

Glad to see this remnant of old Austin still thriving and going strong, even after all the past decades! Spent many days studying here in my undergrad years at UT, so many wonderful memories. The view is beautiful and serene - with a different vibe depending on the time of year you are are here. My favorite time is the fall, when you can see the colors of the leaves changing. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. It's a good mix of students, locals, and tourists. Oh, and I've never been disappointed by their coffee, and the staff/baristas are alway so friendly. Place is popular and can get busy, but there is a good mix of nearby free and paid parking, and never have had issue eventually finding a spot. No trip to Austin is ever complete for me without at least one coffee break at Mozart's :) read more

Vibes aren't the end-all, be-all of coffee shops, but they truly can make or break a place. I've been to coffee shops with decent coffee, but the vibes were so outlandish I've yet to return. I've also been to shops where the coffee tasted like water and burnt beans, but the place was so welcoming I've been back more times than I can count. Mozart's might have the best general "vibe" in all of Austin. Located by Lake Austin at Oyster's Landing, it already gets brownie points for being near a body of water. What increases my productivity? Energy. Whether it's the music I'm listening to, the people around me being locked in, or just the motion from passing cars and pedestrians, that feeling of movement helps me focus. Water is definitely a relaxing element to be near. People relax at the beach or on a day out on the water. Being able to work and lock in by the lake makes Mozart's a serious contender for best coffee shop atmosphere. There is plenty of outdoor seating, and the indoor seating has large windows to maintain that lake-side feeling. The longer I sat outside, the more I felt like Lyle Lovett wondering what life would be like if I had a boat just to park at Mozart's and get coffee. Now, the coffee in question is decent. Nothing extraordinary, nothing mind-blowing, but it's solid. It's not overtaking any of my power rankings for coffee, but it's not making me lose any appreciation for the space either. I also got a premade Italian sub because I was hungry. It was alright as well. From there, I continued to lock in, working on some of my photos in Adobe Lightroom and enjoying the great atmosphere. It was a nice summer day, but getting a hot latte and sitting in the sun eventually made me retreat inside to the "Loft" area of Mozart's, where I was able to enjoy some A/C and still admire the great view of Lake Austin. I think on a cool weekday afternoon, Mozart's is the place to be. Parking is free across the street, and it's just a great environment. Enjoy the waves. Dream of owning a boat. One day. read more

This was a great spot to grab coffee, and I'm really glad we stopped by. We came around lunchtime today, but this feels like the kind of place that works just as well in the morning, early afternoon, or even later in the evening--especially if you're looking to enjoy a beautiful view of the lake. There's plenty of seating, both indoors and outdoors, and it's easy to find a spot with a great view. A nice bonus is that they often have live music. Today there was a jazz band playing, which added such a relaxed and enjoyable vibe to the experience. It made the whole visit feel a little more special without being overwhelming. The coffee itself was excellent. I ordered a lavender chai latte, and it was really, really good. Even better, they're able to make just about anything you want, even if it's not listed on the menu. You can tell they're flexible and genuinely want you to enjoy your drink. I also had a bacon quiche, and it was seasoned to perfection--absolutely amazing and way better than I expected. The service staff was very welcoming and happy to answer any questions we had. The overall atmosphere is chill and inviting. This is a great spot for a date morning, date night, or just hanging out with friends. With so many tables and seating options, you never feel cramped, and whether you choose to sit inside or outside, you're pretty much guaranteed a nice view. There are also a few restaurants nearby if you want to make more of an outing, and parking is free in the lots across the street, which is always a plus. This is definitely a place I'll be coming back to. read more

I went there last week, on a Saturday, after a run in the neighborhood with a friend. She had told me about the amazing pastries and also the long lines. The place itself is beautiful, all the decks by the water, there's a quieter area with a piano in the back of the main cafe. All the lights make it whimsical. However I was not impressed by the coffee, the half and half provided curdled in it so before leaving I had to toss my drink and get a refill without any milk to have it at home. $5.45 for a cup of drip coffee seems outrageous to me but I assume we are paying for the "experience" as some may say. The breakfast tacos (potato, egg and cheese) were very bland and only little bags of Cholula sauce were available to try to flavor it up. At almost $5 per taco I would expect better. Bottom line is, I would definitely go back but without any high expectations for the food and drinks, just to see the lights by the water in the evening. read more

Fab ambience!! How cool is it to get a coffee place with huge selection of pastries and (uniquely) savory dishes, with a waterfront view , indoor outdoor seating and best of all - live music !! Service was friendly - they even made me a free replacement when I forgot to ask for alternative milk - like, who would do that nowadays!! This is a 4.5 star review , 0.5 less because I tried quite a few options of coffee but all of it was just okay. So would I go there again- of course ! Just for the vibe and variety! Don't think twice - just go and get the feel yourself! read more

Everyone comes here for the outdoor view even if you turn into a sweaty Betty in the summer. There is a main area where live music plays pretty often. But it gets too loud where you can't really talk there. The better seats are in the sides where there's a better view of the water. The drinks are always pretty good and pistachio cannolis are worth trying. read more

It was my first time visiting Mozart's today and I was not disappointed! The weather was glorious and bright which was a plus because of the restaurant's proximity to the water and the amount of outdoor seating. It was quite busy but the line moved swiftly. I loved all of the Christmas decorations and I'm sure it looks even nicer when it gets darker ourside. I got a frappe and butter croissant which both tasted good but were more expensive than I was expecting. I still made sure to tip the staff because they all greeted me with a smile which really does go a long way. I also appreciated the live music and vibe. Somehow with so many people it didn't feel rambunctious or anything. I also parked on the street since parking in the lot was limited when I arrived. I'll definitely be back to see what other acts are performing! read more

The cafe was beautiful. Just look at the outdoor seating. It had typical options with drinks and coffee. It felt like a cute little store with local charm. Service was fast. Parking was little tough. There is a brunch place right next door that takes up a lot of parking so it seems always packed. There were a lot of traffic jams because there is only 10 parking spots outside of valet parking. There is a parking long next door and also street parking right next door. Seating was around 10 people inside and 30 people outside. The outdoor seating was gorgeous with the water and live music. It was shaded by a tree and on a summer day, it was such a good place to relax and chat. read more
