As I stirred about this morning, my expectations of the day were dull at most. The one thing, I…read morehoped, that would bring cheer into my lackluster day would be a nice hot coffee. And boy, did Daydreamer Coffee deliver! The baristas, Mara, Cydni, Zemi, and Cecily brought a vibrant ray of sunshine to the cafe. Their wonderful service was vital to the environment, their personalities perfectly complimenting the beautiful decor. My only complaint is how over-caffeinated I got-- the one down-side to having such delicious coffee! Anyway, I will for sure frequent this wonderful shop, and am jealous of anyone who lives even a block closer!

The coffee shop doubles up as a bar, and offers a moody, retro ambiance complete with velvet booths and picture windows (perfect for people watching!). I ordered a hot honey oat latte and thought that while the coffee was good, it wasn't great. Nothing special. My friend got the matcha drink and had similar feedback. I was also surprised that they gave me my drink in a to go cup when I was clear that I intended to dine in. I enjoyed the ambiance of this beautiful space more than the drink itself.

I absolutely loved stumbling upon this place! Jo's coffee is a gem, and it's all over Austin. I was…read moresearching for a coffee shop that was quiet, spacious, and wasn't expensive af, and this place checked off all boxes (and it was crowded and wild like Starbucks). There were about 10 people here, doing exactly what I was planning to do: pull out my laptop and do a lil work. While I waited for my delicious coffee, I scoped out the place: ample seating, from bar stools, to booths, to couches, and chairs. Extremely clean tables, huge outdoor spaces, and well stocked bathrooms. Also, this place is beyond instagramable. I grabbed a pastry on my way out, and the guy who took my drink order was just as pleasant as he was when I first walked in. I'll definitely be back!

Finding parking can be a little tricky because it's street parking on a decently busy street. My only complaint is that there isn't enough seating for how busy it always is.

It's such a cute coffee shop meets convenience market, and it has everything you don't realize you need until you need it. I grabbed a vanilla latte and a croissant before heading out for a morning run, and both were exactly what I needed to start the day. The latte was smooth and not overly sweet, and the croissant was fresh, flaky, and surprisingly good for a hotel grab-and-go spot. I also loved that they had small essentials on hand, perfect for travelers like me who always forget something. The staff were friendly and quick, even during the busy morning rush, and the atmosphere feels relaxed and welcoming. Whether you're staying at the hotel or just nearby, Loaf + Vine is a great little hidden gem in downtown Austin.

(Btw, thank you to the owners for taking care of us, when you didn't even have a chance to put out your pastries yet!) I got a chai latte with oat milk and BOY it had a nice ginger kick to it, which you don't normally get. I loved it. And I dipped my cheese danish in it. Guys, you have to get their cheese danish, it was the size of your face it was so big. It has a beautiful sprinkling of sugar on it too... yummmm. The hubs got a croissant with his Americano and it was the airiest + crisp, like made a loud crackly sound when you bite into it. Super flaky and buttery. If we didn't need to rush back to our market, I would have stayed to find out what the daily specials were... this place rocks on so many levels.

Having stopped…read moreby for the first time soon after they opened a few months ago, I've had the pleasure of watching this quaint east 6 coffee shop grow into a communal hub for local Latinos, coffee aficionados, and curious visitors alike. Owners and power couple Julissa and Andy are building something special here. Their caffeine options are unique and they very obviously use high quality products across their menu. From their Dominican-style Greka, to their amazing lavender matcha (that actually tastes like matcha, not the overly sweet stuff), to their popular papatolo, owner / barista Andy simply does not miss. On the other hand, Comunidad boasts an extensive cold pressed juice menu that easily rivals your (soon to be ex) favorite juice shop. So far, I've tried the Beeted, Good Girl, Equinox and Paradise... it's impossible to choose a favorite! Julissa, owner and holistic juice Queen, very clearly takes pride in offering these fresh, healthy and DELICIOUS options to the neighborhood. I can't wait to try the acai bowl. Comunidad also serves pastries from local bakery Quacks (we love to see small biz support small biz!), carries some cool swag (need a hat asap) and always plays jams - from old school r&b to bachata classics. There's also ample street parking in the area during their business hours. Needless to say, vibes are 100/10. It's no surprise that Comunidad has quickly amassed a base of regulars who want to tell everyone they know about their new favorite coffee shop. And now I'm telling you: run, don't walk, over to Comunidad! You may find your new favorite cup of coffee, or maybe even be challenged to a game of dominos!

Service is consistently friendly, efficient, and attentive, making the morning rush feel completely effortless. The standout star of the menu is undeniably the **Churro Latte**. Perfectly execution in a cup, it delivers a harmonious blend of rich espresso, velvety steamed milk, and a delicate dusting of cinnamon sugar that captures the exact essence of a freshly fried churro without being overly sweet. It is a warm, indulgent treat worth coming back for every time.
