I like radio coffee. This bad review is only for their sticky rice mango matcha latte. The sticky rice flavor is very artificial. The mango piece is very hard and chewy. The cup is 90% full of ice. I'll stick with their regular matcha latte instead.

Radio Coffee & Beer is such a great spot. I love the casual, outdoorsy atmosphere, and the staff are always genuinely nice. It's also a huge plus that they offer both coffee and alcoholic options and have food trucks on site, so it's easy to stay for a while. I had the iced Biscoff Cookie Latte and my husband got the hot Pumpkin Pie Latte. Both were delicious! The Biscoff wasn't overly sweet, and the pumpkin pie latte tasted warm and flavorful without that artificial pumpkin taste. They also play great music, which is a huge plus! The only downside is limited parking, but I haven't had an issue so far. Just don't miss the additional parking sign. The back lot is down a narrow alleyway and easy to miss.

Service was great. They recommended us specialty drinks--those were good. Ample parking and seating, which is a plus.

I was skeptical, but it was really good

I like this spot partly because of its location, central to other things I might be heading to or from. The menu has plenty of fun options, and one of the more memorable drinks I've tried was the mango sticky rice matcha latte. It is definitely on the sweeter, treat side, but worth trying at least once for something different. Most of the time though, I'm coming here for a traditional latte and some tacos, which always hit the spot. The atmosphere has lots of space to spread out whether you want to sit inside or enjoy the outdoor setup. It feels just as good for a quick solo stop as it does for hanging out with friends. Parking can get tricky at busier times, but overall it's a reliable, versatile place that fits easily into a day out in Austin.

Great coffee, ambiance, and service. The coffee was even to this coffee snob's liking -- a first choice in an area chuffed with options parking can be a challenge possibly because people were parking and walking to the flea market..

Love the ambiance at radio coffee! One of my favorite places to bring people from out of town Tried the mango stick rice matcha and I loved it!

Coffee, beer, and amazing food trucks...what's not to love? There's street parking in the neighborhood and a small gravel lot out back (look for the "More Parking" sign). The cashier was super friendly and approachable, which I really appreciate at a coffee shop, because you can sometimes run into coffee snobs at some other Austin establishments. I never know if you're supposed to review the food trucks separately or with the anchor spot, but I'll say this: I grabbed a BBQ biscuit and inverted cinnamon roll from Briscuits, and they were both killer. Add in the taco truck and you've basically got all the major Austin food groups covered. Coffee drinks were on point, and the low-key vibe, outdoor seating, and cozy interior make this a solid 5-star spot for me.

Of all the places in Austin that I've been to, Radio has been my most frequently revisited. It holds itself as just a great "spot" in Austin through all hours of the day. If you're working remote and want to enjoy a nice space with coffee, Radio has fantastic craft lattes, matchas, and other espresso-based beverages to fuel your afternoon. Hanging out with some friends who just got into town and you want a few cocktails? Radio's selection of local taps, wines, and handmade cocktails are top notch. What's great about Radio is its ability to be a two-way player like Hakeem Olajuwon on all ends of the court. The inside space is nice and classic with its wood decor and plenty of seating for guests, but Radio has some of the most outdoor space I've seen at a bar. There is a sprawling range of different options from their greenhouse-like space to picnic tables and benches to their patio. On a nice spring afternoon, you can't beat it. It's a two-way coffee bar and beer garden, it's a two-way indoor and outdoor space, and it's a two-way morning and evening spot. The MVP of Austin, Radio fires on all cylinders. I've tried all the different uses: going in the morning to edit pictures with a coffee indoors, having dinner from their excellent food trucks and drinking cocktails or beer outdoors, working remotely with a hot latte, or just stopping by to chill. It has never missed. I'll go with my girlfriend, a friend, a big group of homies, and any other combination, and Radio is always shining. The staff always seems to be on top of it, with some manning the beers and cocktails and others focused on the barista side with coffee. I know it's a popular concept in Austin to fuse a coffee shop and a beer garden/cocktail bar, but I've never seen it done as successfully as Radio. Their food truck selection from their own Shortwave Diner, Texas Monthly-recognized breakfast BBQ joint Briscuits, and the always excellent Veracruz All Natural are all the more reason that Radio is the only place you need in Austin. For however long I remain in Austin, Radio will always be the first option for a hangout spot through all hours of the day. Edit: One thing I didn't mention, and forgot to throw in was that depending on if you're going during peak hours (Friday afternoons and weekend brunch), the parking can be kind of a challenge, but if you lock in and have kindness in your heart, you can park somewhat easily.

Love this spot! Great for drinks / coffee / food trucks - awesome spot for dinner or lunch. Love they have dee dees Thai truck and other options too - Veracruz and two more! Service is quick - order at bar or QR codes on tables. Plenty of outdoor seating and dog friendly patio too! I love the mango margarita here and the prickly pear one is pretty good too! Smaller parking lot area but there is street parking too.

Popular spot for coffee, specialty lattes, food trucks, and overall good vibes! I've visited this location a few times now and enjoy it each time - especially with nice weather. Plenty of seating space outdoors, but limited parking. They serve up coffee and beer and other drinks, are dog-friendly, and have pretty quick service considering how busy it gets. Drinks can be pricy depending on what you get, and drip coffee refills are $1.50. It's a true Austin-y vibe! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, a small/tight lot and street parking. - Workspace? Yes, there's both indoor and outdoor seating. - Food? Yes, a few food trucks onsite! DRINKS: - [Seasonal] Mango sticky rice matcha (5/5): This was so good and unique I ordered it 2x. Pretty solid matcha and love the coconut and mango! If you enjoy matcha and mango sticky rice, this is a perfect combination in a drink! - [Seasonal] Honey lavender latte (3/5): Basic and not very strong honey or lavender flavors. A little too milky for my taste, but simple latte.

Let me set the scene: it's late already, and I knew I would be up for a while longer. Radio Coffee & Beer is open until 12 every night. Perfect. I stop by, and I order a hot coffee to sit in and enjoy. The aesthetic was perfect, and they offer a wide variety of spirits and coffee. Perfect for whichever vibe you're going for at the time of visiting. The coffee was smooth and creamy, with a nice bite. I didn't feel rushed, I didn't feel crazy for enjoying a full caffeinated cup of coffee at 11pm, and I will be stopping back by and I will be stopping by for some of their events as well. Check out their website for details on the events and prices for tickets (if needed!)

The drinks were slightly plain in flavor, but the place had tabled seating and live music for guests to enjoy

Coffee and cocktails

Cool place to check out for food, coffee, or cocktails that's open late. They have a taco food truck on the patio area. There's also live music around 7pm some nights!

Imagine Lala's feels like a chill, comfy neighborhood bar where you can actually enjoy yourself, and the ambiance, and have a conversation with whoever you came with, instead of a tourist clogged beehive? Because BOOM that's Lala's South Pole. I'm not even a big Christmas person, and I am smitten. Charming, quite, festive. It feels like a hidden gem. I probably shouldn't be reviewing it so it can stay that way, but no one like a gatekeeper. Also, absolute baller pizza from Brooklyn Pie Co. I had to really talk myself down from going back the next night just for more pizza. The service is... well what you would expect from a "trendy" Austin dive bar, as in... None, but that's part of the charm kind of? I've actually tried a lot of new pizza places lately and this is what stands out in my mind. Drinks wise? It's a bar. They serve you alcohol. Nothing special, but nothing wrong with it either.

Great decor, wonderfully curated holiday cocktails and mocktails, beers, spirits, and more. Super service. This is a place where there's no way you could ever feel sad or down and out because it's just pumpkin' with happy holiday vibes.

Came to Simona's with some coworkers for happy hour and was not disappointed! This place is behind…read morethe Colton hotel off Congress ave. 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.

Located inside the Colton House Hotel, Simona's is the hotel's local resident serving coffee by…read moreday, and cocktails by night. 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.
