I stopped in to grab some to-go coffees while waiting in line with friends at Franklin Barbecue. This is just one of three Radio locations, and maybe the cutest. Radio Rosewood is easily the smallest space of them all, but it has this neighborhood charm that the size of both their main location on Manchaca and Radio//East lack. It adds this entirely new level of comfort to Radio. They have brunch options, as I saw people getting served, but I come to Radio for their drinks most times. I got a Spiced Maple Oat Latte that was excellent. The staff is so welcoming that you wish you could stay longer. I'll have to come back and give this location more attention. RIYL: Radio, but smaller. Like a pocket radio. read more

Don't get me wrong, this is a great place to hangout in the neighborhood. But, often times in the morning if I forget to charge my phone / notebook I feel like I am in big trouble! Cons - no usual power outlets, use power banks instead in exchange for ID.. :( Environment friendliness - doesn't have BYO / Personal cup discount - has separate trash and recycle bins inside the backyard Pros - happy hour: 4-7pm, $2 mug beer on Mondays - has sufficient tall seats - has photobooth inside, make memories - Plenty of seating inside, front and in the backyard with various setting, love it :) - Parking up and downhill, usually, no trouble - wifi (details below) and restroom WiFi SSID: RadioRosewood-Guest password: cocktails read more

This place is very different from its predecessor, Try Hard. The latter was a combination coffee shop and vinyl seller, definitely a prototypical "east Austin" shop, leaning in on the sadly vanishing "Keep Austin Weird" principle. Radio Rosewood wants to keep the party going all day and late into the night, offering food outside of "goes with coffee" and a beautifully appointed bar. Having said this, I just needed coffee, so my review is going to focus on that. The featured coffees here are roasted by their own RCB Roasters, and my selection was their Ethiopian Guji, promising some nice acidity and brightness from its lighter leaning roast profile. The coffee "space" is compact here, but they're using good gear and seem to have the staff to use it well. My espresso was served with sparking water, and was just as I'd hoped, a bright cup with citrus acidity that was well structured, but not overly acidic or bitter at all. It was a winner all around. I'll have to get back in for an adult beverage on my next visit, but I was pleased to see that us coffee lovers can still get a good "fix" here! read more

Tried some new seasonal drinks this time: Gogumatcha Latte was pretty good but sweet potato flavors were almost hardly noticeable. Maybe if I go it hot, it would have tasted differently. Adzuki pookie latte (boyfriend's) was actually more flavorful with a distinct sesame which I liked a lot. read more

radio rosewood is a super charming coffee/bar with a unique edge to it! i love the vibes and the music, and there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. it's a great spot for casually hanging out, though it can get a bit loud and cramped if you're trying to get work done. i was really excited to try their seasonal adzuki pookie latte, but it was honestly a letdown. i barely tasted any red bean or sesame; it mostly just tasted like a sweet latte. the gogumatcha was better and had little sweet potato bits in it, which was a fun touch. also a heads up that they charge a 4% kitchen appreciation fee. overall, i enjoyed the atmosphere + friendly service and would come back for the vibes, but the coffee didn't quite live up to the hype for me :( read more

Nice space near walkable places like getting a coffee before your haircut. Lots of good outdoor space, great staff. The special drinks are also pretty good though pricy for a lot of ice and only some drink. But overall still a place I will return to if I'm nearby. read more

This is such a cool spot, feels like a bar during the nights and probably a cafe during the day. I went here with a couple of girlfriends on a Thursday night and it was the perfect spot. It was a little bit busy because they had trivia night going out on the patio, but still not loud enough to have a conversation :) We ordered margs and they were great. For food we ordered the Herby chicken salad sandwich - delicious and so filling. My friend also got the smashed burger, which looked yummy. The dishes came with arugula salad - I loved it. The staff was so kind and efficient. Would 10/10 visit again! read more

I used to live in the apartment complex right down the street and loved coming here! I always got the chai latte served hot and it was fire. Legit the best chai I've tried and I haven't been able to find one as good. I've tried the food here before when they first opened this location and while it was good the portions were kinda small for the price. I like this spot as coffee and chill spot with friends or as a cute cocktail before going out to dinner with friends. Also all their merch is really cute! read more

I ate a late dinner here on September 26. I got a chicken sandwich and Texas cider to continue the fall vibes. Both were great, and I enjoyed the quiet upscale vibes the establishment brings at night after the sun goes down and the moody lighting is turned on. My stuff wasn't stolen when I briefly used the restroom as well, haha! I could tell many of the folks who were in the restaurant knew each other and/or familiar with the staff who worked there. I always love being on the side at "neighborhood energy" spots like all of Radio's locations. read more

This is a MUST visit coffee shop, oh my gosh! I absolutely love it here, I have yapped with my friends for hours here. The drinks here taste so unique and are so good. I have gotten the Tropical Matcha Spritz and Banana Foster Shaken Espresso (these are seasonal drink options), and I am obsessed. The matcha spritz was surprising at first as it's definitely not shy with the acidity, but the tang with a slight sweetness is such a good combination. I could not really taste banana flavor with the espresso, but the drink was nonetheless aesthetic and tasty. I like the dim lights and vibe inside the coffee shop. It's a cozy spot that I could easily spend chilling and getting work done. Also, it is in such a nice area with a lot of good restaurants and shops nearby. read more

Enjoyed my latte here! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Peaceful, pretty, clean, and homey inside. Seemed like a lot of regulars frequent this place. I appreciated that the barista made me feel welcome, too. Had fun people and dog watching from my perch by the window. read more

Not gonna lie, I'm still mourning the loss of Try Hard Coffee that was here before Radio, but I have to admit Radio has done a great job with the space. I came in first for an emo karaoke night and they had really good cocktails for way cheaper than most bars. Staff was cool to chill with. Finally tried the coffee at this location (I've had the OG long ago) and it was pretty damned good. Even better that I went for their anniversary party and it was only a buck. Will have to show Radio Rosewood more love moving forwards. read more

All-day neighborhood hub with top-tier coffee, cocktails & bites Radio Rosewood hits the sweet spot between laid-back and elevated. Tucked into a former café space on East 11th, this third outpost of the beloved Radio Coffee & Beer lineup delivers everything you want--from morning espresso to evening cocktails. Why do I love it? Vibe: Sleek leather banquettes, pendant lighting, and local art create a warm, welcoming atmosphere--sophisticated but never pretentious. Drinks: Stellar coffee drinks by day, and a sharp cocktail menu by night, plus beer & natural wines. Thoughtful, craft-forward choices feel right at home here. Food: Shortwave Diner's first brick-and-mortar pops out with smash burgers, tacos, breakfast bowls, avocado toast, and hearty diner staples from morning til night. Community feel: A true "third space"--whether it's networking events, chill hangouts, or casual work sessions--the space adapts. The owners are committed to affordable drinks and community impact, donating proceeds from coffee bag sales to local nonprofits. Tip: Grab a seat on the inviting patio when the weather's good--ideal for weekend lounging with good brew in hand! read more

Big fan of all the Radio Coffee spots, so I was thrilled to see a new one pop up within walking distance of my office! Like the other spots around town, this one brings the same magic: a killer coffee and cocktail lineup and tasty bites from Shortwave Diner. I'd never tried their food before so I went for the breakfast sandwich and wow it did not disappoint. Paired it with my go-to oat milk iced coffee, and it was a match made in brunch heaven. The space has plenty of bar seating, cozy booths, and outdoor tables, plus a stage for live music and a vibrant mural that really ties it all together. Excited to see how Radio Rosewood continues to grow as it's already off to a great start! read more

Love all the Radio locations including this one! It's probably the smallest of the 3 but still very on theme for the east side. The vibe is chill and the music is low so great for working or just conversation. The drinks are creative and fun! I really liked mine the boozy banana foster. Next time I'll be back to try the coffee. read more

* 4.5 stars * Highly recommend this spot! We really enjoyed this setup. It's nice to enjoy a beverage while working + be amongst others who are also working. There's a small outdoor space in the back to relax and get some air. If you stay til end of day, you're rewarded with happy hour! read more

Loving the new Radio! The inside is gorgeous, the patio is super hip, the drinks are delicious, and I love the breakfast options. I also came for an Emo Karaoke night that was super fun! It's a great spot any time of day. The only thing is, the tables are a little small for co-working, and there isn't a ton of seating, so it might not be the best for getting work done. I like having meetings here though. read more

I love this new location for Radio. This is such a fun spot to hang out on the weekends in the patio, or even just to work inside during the day. The menu is great, and I love that they offer THC drinks too. In fact they made us something off menu that was DELICIOUS! I also love that they have vegan options. Would definitely recommend! read more

I visited here for an event with my friend, and I cannot wait to return. We had the most amazing vanilla matcha lattes paired with great music.

2/12/25: Opening day and it's a PACKED HOUSE! Rightfully so, because everyone loves the local Radio crew. The only complaint I've ever had is them not being in the neighborhood. Now they are!! A five minute walk from my apartment. Even though it was super packed, we received the same quality service as always and as expected. This gang knows how to do it right! We had the lavender macchiato and mint mocha and wow. Talk about going to flavor town. They always know how to get just the right mix of syrup and coffee together. Even though they were super busy, one for the leads Patrick took the time to get to know us and talk doggies. He even gave us the 411 on what's to come; evening cocktails, etc. One of the partners, Trey even stopped by our table to chat with us. This is why Radio is so amazing! They love what they do and they treat customers like family. My heart is as happy as my belly. Chill back patio that made for a good area to relax since the inside was so jammed. This location has an in-house kitchen rather than a food truck. Awesome! We shared an Austin Dog & fries and they were delish. Perfectly cooked...ON OPENING DAY! Everything was so streamlined you'd never know it was the first day. read more

I had pretty high hopes for Radio, but sadly it missed the mark! A group of 4 of us stopped by while waiting for our table at Loudmouth to be available across the street. There were not too many people there when we went -- only one other person ordering ahead of us (but several parties already seated with drinks and food in the back patio). It took over 5 minutes before we could order, which was not a problem for us particularly, but definitely something to note. We ordered, and the prices on the menu were not the prices we were charged. My partner ordered a frozen drink that was $13 on the menu, but rang up as $14.50 pre-tax. Again, this is not a huge problem, but definitely was cause for confusion, given they literally just opened, so the menu should reflect the actual prices. Outside, the tables and chairs were pretty ratty tatty and dirty. Again, odd, since they just opened. The string lights were flickering and turning on and off constantly outside, which ended up giving us quite a headache. I did like how it was dog-friendly outside, however! I believe this Radio location would be so cute as just a coffee shop, and I do want to return for coffee during the day. However, I don't plan on returning for drinks at night. read more

We loved Radio Rosewood! The drinks were delicious and the staff were so nice. The lead bartender made us an off-menu drink that was very good and said they rotate drinks pretty often. The music was a little weird at times but overall this was a great spot and we will definitely be back! read more

While visiting Austin, we stopped by Radio Rosewood, although this place is more than just coffee. Our experience focused on this. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating areas, perfect for enjoying a cup with friends. But what I truly want to highlight is the coffee. We tried a couple of different variations during our visit, and all were amazing; perfectly brewed cups with high-quality beans. It's definitely a place to try if you want to enjoy a good cup of coffee. read more

Coffee was cool. The team was okay. I felt like the service could've been a tad bit quicker but it was a busy Saturday morning. I enjoyed the areas to sit in and outside and that they have space for doggies on the patio area. Will return again and try another drink out! read more

Solid for almost all reasons. I'm always looking to post up and work from a spot for a few hours.

I recommend! read more

Very cozy spot! It's aesthetically pleasing from the plants outside to the gorgeous, clean, vintage decor in the inside. There was a fantastic variety of music playing, and my friend and I played several matches of Backgammon. I ordered the fries and some hot chocolate, while my friend ordered a chocolate chip cookie. This place was a whole Sunday afternoon VIBE. I loved it! The fries were absolutely perfect; crispy and flaky, unlike any other fry I've had. I eat mine with mayo. The hot chocolate came with whipped cream by request. I can't wait to return! read more
