I had a pretty mixed experience here. We came here on a Thursday afternoon to work for a few hours - it was pretty much completely empty. Pros: -Super cute interior and welcoming outside patio with vibrant art. -Nice parking lot and heart-shaped bike stands -Good Wi-Fi Neutral: -The language barrier is pretty rough. Almost every word I said was misinterpreted - which I can't really knock a place for, but my order came out incorrect. -Not much A/C circulating inside. It's not uncomfortable per say, but your face does get sweaty inside. Cons: -The staff do have a very "can't be bothered" attitude, which doesn't actually bother me too much. Maybe they would have given more attention if I spoke Spanish, lol. -I wanted to try one of the Pandebono or Pandeyuca but they were out of both :( and most of the other pastries, as it seemed. -The chicken empañadas ($6 for 2) were pretty tasty and filling, but were swimming in a puddle of grease. Overall, this spot has potential with a few tweaks, but I'm not sure I'd come back. read more

Just had my SECOND visit in a row to Plaza Colombian Coffee, and I'm officially hooked. The service here is consistently amazing. Its simply warm, respectful, and genuinely personable. We tried the bean dip with plantain chips, chicken empanadas, and their lattes, and everything was absolutely delicious. You can tell the food is made with care, and the flavors are on point. It's also a fantastic spot for remote work. Great atmosphere, reliable seating, and easy parking (which is rare in Austin). Definitely one of the city's hidden gems. Highly recommend! read more

Plaza Colombian Coffee - Bean Dip, Plantain Chips + Chicken Empanadas - Colombian Near Me - Austin, Texas

There is so much potential for this place and it's such a shame the staff really dampers your experience. From my in-person experience to a follow-up over the phone, the staff gives off an energy to where they can't be bothered and very rude. You can access their reserved parking lot or park your bicycle at their heart-shaped bike stands, and take advantage of their indoor cafe seating or outdoor daiquiri bar area. There isn't much AC properly circulating so be wary of it, but they do offer industrial fans. The coffee was quite delicious and they have a full bar to enjoy. It looks like they are all about the arts and you can admire the local artwork and live shows as they have a stage present. My pastelito with guava and queso was super flaky on the outside but the filling was literal rectangle cuts of the fruit and cheese and hard. Kinda took away from the flavor honestly. I'll be back in a few months and perhaps by then it'll be a few different folks working. read more

Convenient to drive-thru or come stay awhile - warm cumbia and traditional Colombian food invites an enjoyable visit. Exited to try their famed Patacon Burger (switching smashed plantains for buns - a Whole 30 cheat!). Meanwhile this is one of my absolute favorite spots for iced coffee in town - the Houston Bogota (cappuccino) and Sweet Bee (latte) both rich with honey and cinnamon over dark Columbian coffee. It's exceptional! Keep in mind they're closed on Tuesdays. read more

Checked out Plaza Colombian and was pleasantly surprised by their fantastic, colorful covered patio. They have fast counter service. The breakfast arepa with egg and cheese was incredible, perfectly rich and satisfying. I also got the Honey Cinnamon Iced Latte which was more of a shaken frappe, but was delicious all the same. A spot well worth revisiting. read more

Super cute inside and out! It has like a hard rock theme with some Hispanic spice. I know it's know for the Colombian coffee but DO NOT ORDER the matcha. It's took exactly 15mins for the drink to be made, the matcha taste very old and has a burnt taste to it. I only order this one drink and it's was $8.15 which is crazy! I really wanted this to taste good especially because of the price but it definitely was disappointment. The honey and the lavender aren't very sweet, which is is pretty nice so it doesn't feel like you're drinking sugar, but the taste of the Matcha was just so old it overpowered the whole thing and I have clumps of Matcha that weren't mixed. I have not tried the food or any other drinks so the one star is just based on overall experience and poor tasing drink. read more

I was only in this place for a few moments, but seeing it's potential and enjoying what of it I DID partake of, was really pretty awesome. It's a really spacious place that seems to have a capability for doing different kinds of entertaining from early morning, pastries and coffees to nighttime cocktails and dinners with a full band, DJ with lighting and all of that. I must admit that when I came in the young lady behind the counter, was so busy, stocking and prepping that she didn't notice me come in nor hear me when I initially called he, but I gave her some grace considering that.. 1. She was doing a job and 2. She was very sweet once she got on the ball. But most of all 3. The pastry that I had (something completely unknown to me) and the chai that I got were both awesome. Glad I discovered it, just wish I'd discovered it sooner. Olè read more

This place is super cute and the food is very good quality. Freshly prepared. I have had breakfast here twice during F1 event and we were happy with our drinks too! So much that we brought our picky children with and they loved the food too! read more

I went here years ago and forgot the name, so when I drove past Plaza Colombian Coffee the other day I immediately decided to turn in because I've thought about it for years. I ordered the empanadas trio for $6 (happy hour special) and picked up some freshly ground coffee beans to enjoy at home. The steak empanada had a satisfying, savory flavor, but my favorite was the chicken--cheesy, stewed chicken filling that was incredibly flavorful. Their fresh, house-made sauce tied the flavors together nicely. The employees were friendly and patient, giving me plenty of time to explore the menu. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, along with a drive-thru if you're in a rush. The interior is colorful and nice, with a stage for live music and other events. read more

A hidden gem on S Congress! Located littler further south, away from the hustle and bustle, is this cute Colombian coffee shop, bar, restaurant and entertainment venue. I went to work remote and grab a coffee but ended up getting food as well because the menu looked so good(I'm a sucker for empanadas). Thoughts? Good for working remote if that's what you're looking for but will say the music is a little loud so definitely not good for taking meetings but strong WiFi. The coffee is solid with a diverse menu and their chicken empanadas? Delicious! They also have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and they have a drive thru! I also see that they have bachata nights with live music. Will definitely come back to experience it and for their empanadas too of course. read more

Kitchen was closed at 5pm on a Monday. Language barrier was such that that took 5-minutes to discern. She said something about Tuesday's too. Why have cocktails and tikki drinks on the menu if you're not actually fully open for happy hour etc. Beautiful digs... what a waste. read more

My partner and I had a dance practice in South Austin so we decided to stop by this place for a quick Colombian bite since we were in the area. We also met up with a friend who enjoys snacking and grabbing coffee here since she lives nearby. The inside this place is like a cafe where you can get some coffee while you study. The outside has multiple levels of seating and its sandy, an outdoor bar and has more of a tiki vibe. They also have live music and salsa dancing on certain nights. This place is unique because they can have a coffee shop by day and an outdoor night party scene by night. The Sexy Colada was delicious and I enjoyed the presentation. I also liked the taste of the beef arepa and the empanada. My family is Colombian so I'll say that even though it doesn't necessarily taste like a homemade arepa or empanada, if you're looking for a quick snack then this will hit the spot. read more

Another place that has been sitting on my list for so long; I've passed this place dozens of times and always say I should check it out, well I finally did! and glad I did because they have a really nice covered patio, and some indoor space that each seem suited well for live music/dj. They have a bar inside, and a bunch of gluten free options, as well as coffee. We of course tried some of each and really enjoyed everything we got. It's nice and clean inside, the staff were friendly and the food was quick, all reasonably priced and in a great location with some decent street parking, which isn't always easy to find on Congress. Definitely need to go back and try some more of their food/drinks. read more

The positives: Solid coffee, full bar, the decor/art, really nice patio area, and overall vibes of the place. The downside: The staff isn't exactly the friendliest, it is quite warm inside, and the food/pastries are very okay. With that being said, if you're looking to grab a solid coffee and take it to go, or use their drive thru, this is a solid option. Probably wouldn't sit down and go for a meal. read more

I had to write about Plaza Columbia again because I am addicted! They have the best espresso martini. Their happy hour is awesome with food specials. This is a great spot for coffee and pastry as well. You have to try the Playa burger and if you are a fan of ceviche, they have a really good one. read more

I haven't really explored this area of austin, but I work nearby and needed coffee and lunch. I ordered at the drive thru and got steak empanadas and I think I got a latte with colombian arequipe. I was torn between that and the sweet bee and houston bogota. I will definitely be going back. Food was good, and the drink I got was great. I needed something quick and filling, and this 100% hit the spot. read more

1 star for the drive-thru, 1 star for the enjoyment I would've had if there weren't a hair in my drink. Drive thru wait time, in spite of a nearly empty parking lot, was a bit excessive. Then to get a hair in my drink, no way am I going back and waiting for it to be remade. Just threw my money away. read more

Always drove by this place and never stopped by until recently. I came for coffee and if you like strong, bold Colombian coffee this is a pretty cool place. They also had food and I had an empanada as a snack. I didn't explore rest of menu but I would be back. Fun vibe on the inside with festive music and lots of comfortable seating. Getting in and out of the lot is a pain with traffic fyi. read more

I noticed this place passing by a week ago and came here as soon as I could. This might be my favorite coffee spot in Austin. The latte with Arequipe was great - not too sweet, not too bland, just perfect! It's super hot out and it was a perfect pick me up. I also enjoyed the empanada trio - I can't even tell you which one is my favorite, I enjoyed them all. I love that there is a drive through option to make it accessible. This spot feels like home and I'm so happy to have come by. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu and will be bringing friends next time! Also, the patio area has lots of tables and is dog friendly so that's a plus for me! read more

Plaza Colombian Coffee - Simple breakfast arepa and americano - Colombian Near Me - Austin, Texas

Coffee + study review: This place is definitely more of a "restaurant" than a cafe despite the name. Regardless, they have a cute little nook with smaller tables and comfy chairs for studying/reading. Outlets are ample, though not the best at holding (my chunky Macbook charger kept falling out). The other knock is that the internet is fairly slow. If you're just browsing tabs or watching a video, it's fine. But as a programmer, I could not get dependencies to install and I had to move somewhere else. Coffee was decent, neither memorable nor bad. Decor is def a 10/10 though. Plus they have a little stage for bands so I'm guessing they have a ton of live music. Ample parking. As a cafe/study place, this place is more of a 2-3 stars. However, I don't think this is what this place is trying to be so I don't want to knock off points for that. I do think the name is misleading. read more

This was my second attempt at a coffee shop today. The first did not have any seating available indoors/near outlets which I needed to complete some work. So i found this gem nearby! They have a decent amount of free parking on site as well as a drive through with both indoor and outdoor seating. The decor is so fun and cheerful with lots of bright colors and upbeat music. I ordered a sweet bee iced latte ($5) and a chorizo arepa (no avocado or beans) ($10.65). The young lady who took my order was cordial but seemed very disinterested. My drink came out in a few minutes however nearly 30 minutes passed and no sign of my arepa. I returned to the counter to inquire and the young man was very sweet and apologized and reprinted the ticket - it came out in probably less than 10 minutes from that point. My latte was really amazing. The flavors of both the cinnamon and the honey came through very nicely - I will note it is fairly sweet for those of you who prefer a stronger coffee flavor this may not be for you. The long awaited arepa was quite good as well, however $10 feels a bit high for what it was. read more

Let's start with this is a great coffee bar! My niece is from Colombia, so we had to try it out. The patio area is cute and has a tropical feel... more Cali than Bogota, maybe. I love the artwork lining the fence on your way out! The drinks were festive- mine was served in a plastic pineapple. But the food made me sick. My niece said it was okay for her, but not great. It is also a little pricey. For my money, I think Casa Colombia has better meals. Go for the ambiance and a drink. Go for the coffee or the maracuya smoothie and pastry (trust me when I say get yourself a Gloria). And plan to stay for a while and channel your inner paisa! read more

I would give 4.5 stars if i could, but mostly for the location/ambiance.. and I have to weigh food a little more. While it's located off a busy street, they do a really good job of theming it as a sort of tropical ambiance, so props to them for that. The food was above average, but i wouldn't go necessarily just for the food. The hot dog was pretty tasty with the toppings and the bread bun, which surprised me as I'm usually not a huge fan of hot dogs. The empanadas were decent, though i probably would not drop by to takeout the empanadas. The sauces that came with them were great, though! I believe the last thing we got was a patacon, which, like the empanadas, was also good, but wouldn't go out of my way for. Overall if you're looking for a place to chill, have some Colombian food, and get a drink.. don't hesitate to give it a shot. It's definitely a nice spot! read more

I really enjoyed this place for it's colorful atmosphere and delicious food. I ordered the arepas and it came with a side of beans and salsas. I liked it! I think the flavors were fresh and flavorful and the salsa added a good kick. My friend had an order of empanadas and it was so good, he devoured them quickly. My gf had dessert dishes. The drinks were unique here and very tasty. I ordered the oatiest chai and I think it was yummy. There's little bits of oats in it. Fair warning, if that could be a texture issue for you. My gf though the Sweet Bee was too sweet and she just had too much sugar with the desserts too. We loved sitting outside during a cool Austin morning. They had music playing and brought out our food. But they don't deliver the drinks so it took us a while to release we had to go back in to get those. Overall, still great food and quick service! read more

Came thru on a Friday night around 745p, the band was setting up outside and the fire pits were lit up. Unfortunately you had to have tickets to sit in the patio area for the band performing but honestly you could sit inside and still hear it. We ordered outside at the kiosk and went inside to wait for our food. I tried the chicken empanadas and the steak pataconzotes, all the flavors were delicious to the last bite. I also tried the Oatiest Chai Latte, which was probably one of the best Chai's I've had in a long time. My friend has been here plenty of times and assured me there isn't a bad item on the menu. The atmosphere is so rich, warm and inviting. Inside there are plenty of tables in the front and little tables towards the back for a more intimate or private conversation. There is also a little stage inside for music or other performances but where they shine is the outside seating area. It's so open and spacious. Parking can be a little tricky but there's still quite a bit on the side street. read more

I stopped by this cute little place for some coffee and empanadas. The place is cute and has an outdoor space with live music. Unfortunately I was here midday so not much was happening. I had a latte which was meh and had some empanadas. The empanadas were not what I had imagined. This was the first time I've had empanadas that had a stew like filling. It almost reminded me of a chicken pot pie. Taste was ok. Good place to hang out but food and drinks were just ok in my opinion. read more
