In short: Amazing service, place bit small, parking is tight, awesome coffee, house made syrups which are not too sweet(just the way I like it). In detail: What a nice place, good people and wonderful service, we stopped by late morning on weekday so no problem wIth parking and place wasn't packed. There was one person taking orders and making it, I think his name is Naiman(skinny guy wearing gLasses), I got tempted to try their specialty drinks but was reluctant to try anything which has flavor syrups(recently had a bad experience), so asked him about the level of sweetness, I don't like too sweet and goT to know, most of their syrups are made by them, blackberry syrup is his great grandmother's recipe and I had to try it, about the sweetness, he told it's sweet but noT as sweet as Starbucks, so that convinced me. I went with New Moon-blackberry dark mocha, my husband coffee and blueberry muffin. My husband accidentally stirred coffee with the dirty spoon and he asked for another coffee and we asked him to cHarge for it as it was absolutely our mistake but his answer for it was 'don't worry, it happens to the bEst of us' and he dint charge it, what a nice person:) Coffee was perfect, I liked my mocha, sweetness was perfect, but I dint feel blackberry flavor in it, it was like dark mocha and told him, he was happy to hear my honest opinion. Blueberry muffin was ok, it was fresh, they don't bake it. Don't miss to check out this place! read more

Windsor Park now has its very own nutso crazy coffee house. With all the nuts and the crazies you need to fill it. The couple who run the place are lovable eccentrics. The customers are lovable eccentrics. Nearly everyone could be a character in a Booth cartoon. Much of the clientele is in their sixties. They go back to the day when Windsor Park was a low-rent cheap place to live. You have the normal run of ancient school teachers, ancient piano teachers, and ancient computer programmers back when computer programming was done on an Altair 8800. These are the people who show up at public libraries to hear interesting and informative presentations on Texas birds. They vote for Bernie Sanders because they hung out with Bernie when they were kids in Brooklyn. Their inexpensive homes have great Mexican weavings. For years, their neighborhood was boring. Now Windsor Park is cool. Corona is there to reward them for all those patient years of waiting. The espresso is beautifully bitter. Corona makes their own off the wall flavors of lattes and steamers. Want strange combinations with kombucha? Corona's got them too Want yogurt with corn chex and pecans? Corona's got that as well. (It's good.) The boss has an adept hand with the steamed milk art. The boss also has friends who are terrible artists. There are great big canvases hanging on every vertical space. One or two of the paintings are actually good. The rest - including ones by the same artists who did the good ones - are a source of endless pain on the eyes. Fortunately, you can often find a seat that looks at the one painting that you can stand - so the room can actually be a nice place to hang out. There are a zillion sockets everywhere. Multiple tables have banks of twelve sockets. Wacko badacko room. Wacko badacko beverages. Wacko badacko food. Wacko badacko customers. This is my kind of people and my kind of place. read more

Update: still coming here as many times as I can. Sometimes even skip school for it. Every time I try a new flavor, I am amazed. Truly no other coffee shop compares. Many Austin cafés really utilize a beautiful space and trendy furniture or pretty cups, but even without those, Corona's coffee is by far no comparison. And I've been to most coffee shops you can name in the last 4 years of being in Austin! Hole in the wall café. I have not much to say about this place but that it's strong coffee with strong flavors. I got the comet, pink sea salt caramel latte. It was seriously the best coffee I've had in so long. I usually write really long reviews but this place was so good that I'm speechless. Hats off to the wonderful staff. read more

Love love love love love love love love!! Homemade syrups, teas, coffee and one of the coziest places! Very small shop with local artwork on walls. Naaman makes your drink to order, so nothing fast food about this shop. He helped direct me to find the perfect cup of joe. Super friendly, hip, trendy, relaxed vibe. read more

Five stars for an incredible coffee experience! I ordered the lavender and blackberry latte (both flavors are made in house) and all of my party agreed that was the best thing ever! The guy who made our drinks was so pleasant and hilarious. I loved his jokes. I also like that they have different types of milk. I wish I had gotten a pastry to go. If they're half as good as the coffee-- they must be amazing! read more

Best flavored lattes I've found, thanks to in-house-made syrups. We ordered the Gemini-- blackberry orange vanilla-- and the Comet-- pink sea salted caramel. Both had a strong, pleasant flavor (I'm not a fan of my flavored latte just tasting like a plain sweet latte), but didn't overpower the coffee. Personally I *loved* the Gemini. I've never had citrus with coffee before, but it may be my new favorite thing?? Would also love try the Luna (spicy Mexican dark cocoa mocha), but that'll have to wait til next time. read more

I just left Corona coffee and I feel like based off of my experience here I will automatically have an amazing Saturday. My day started with reuniting a couple of lost Pups with their owner. They were loose in the neighborhood. Anyway, I've been coming to the nail shop next door for many years for my lashes. This was just my first time coming this early. Like...A.M. Lol..I'm not a morning person. As you walk into a cute, narrow but pretty decently sized coffee shop you immediately feel the chill vibe, good energy, and some Aretha Franklin playing in the background. After admiring all the amazing art and overwhelmed by checking both yelp reviews and the menu, I'm next in line! Namè (not sure of the pronunciation) told me about the famous New Moon Latte. Which is basically blueberry infuse expresso. I got it chilled. So yummy. It is out of this world. Apparently it was his Cajun Grand or Great Grandmothers' recipe. Which, of course made it taste THAT much better. He also told me a bit about his Mom I believe makes the art and his wife sells jewelry that is also displayed throughout. I will be back! I needed this morning. I needed a good Start to my Saturday! And I got my lashes done right after. Lovely place check it out! read more

Very friendly and great coffee. Enjoyed he could tell me the specific beans & flavors. Huge fan of the nopalitos, black bean and egg taco. Quaint little spot. Has several tables & chairs + coffee bar seating. read more

Some of the best coffee I've ever had. The owners REALLY know their stuff. They are extremely passionate coffee experts. This is a tiny, family-run business that makes an extremely high quality product. It doesn't get more "Austin" than this. A truly local business. Support them if you can! read more

One of my top three fave coffee shops in Austin. It may not be huge and can get pretty busy at times but has a huge selection and the coffee/service are both top notch. Honorable mention goes to their cold brew. read more

Rigby Roastery - Coffee Roasteries Near Me

Stopped in here for a coffee with my mom yesterday morning after reading all of the great reviews. I was NOT disappointed! We got a cappuccino with 3 shots of espresso, the cold brew coffee, and the cold brew with their house made lavender syrup. All three were great but the lavender cold brew stole the show! I've never had anything like it before, and was really excited to find a fun coffee option without dairy! They have a ton of neat coffee options that are really different and exciting, nearly all of their syrups are house made (and there are A LOT), and they roast their own beans. This is one of my favorite coffee shops in Austin, hands down. Will be returning soon and plan on being a frequent visitor. I'm really craving that lavender cold brew now... read more

This is a locally owned Austin business and for that reason alone you should check it out. Naiman and his staff serve up awesome coffee and tea drinks that can be ordered hot or cold. My personal favorite is the Luna (Coffee with Mexican Chocolate) topped with whipped cream. They have a funky decor and have paintings and artwork hanging up to enjoy and purchase which are all done my local Austin artists. In addition to drinks they offer breakfast tacos, sandwiches, cookies, bagels and other treats. Check in on Yelp for 10% off your order. read more

Stumbled across Corona Coffee shop while traveling through the greater Austin area for work. This is a cute and laid back spot where you can get a great cup of coffee, espresso or tea as well as getting a bite to eat. They offer a nice variety of breakfast taco's, sandwiches, salads, as well as pastries and baked goods. I ordered the Americano and it was spot on for taste and served with a smile. Great experience from start to finish! read more

Rigby Roastery - Corona Coffee shop seating area - Coffee Roasteries Near Me

Let me tell you what this place is not: 1. It's not your mama's coffeehouse. 2. It's not Breakfast at Tiffany's. 3. If this is your hood, it could very well be the best part of waking up, without Folgers in your cup. Second, you need to know the family that runs this place keeps it open from 7am to 3pm, Monday through Friday. And that's it. This is somewhat unique because: A) They like spending their time doing family stuff together, rather than increasing business revenue. B) It's a happy family. You'll know it when you chat with them. C) I'm not sure how far the "Family First" concept flies these days at Wharton. Yes, it probably gets backed up here during a typical morning rush, and they're always tweaking stuff like menu items and pre-packaged brown bag fare for you to carryout quickly. But if you do have a little time, consider stopping in here for a moment or two: I'm simply fascinated with people who run a business and do what they do because by gosh and golly, it's exactly what they want to do, and not just another job or something else in life to complain about. I had originally planned to give Corona Café four-stars for being what they are - an unexpected gem of a coffeehouse hidden in a strip mall. That in itself makes them special. But it occurred to me, as I was hanging there on a Monday afternoon with an Americano and chatting about families and business and stuff, that this place might actually be an unexpected reality check, a brief respite for a "stop and smell the roses" moment. It was obviously more the scent of espresso than roses, of course, but I left there thinking, this just might be as good as it gets. read more

Rigby Roastery - Coffee Roasteries Near Me

Ok, this is the most authentic, anti-corporate, true coffee shop I have ever been to. Naimen is the owner/operator and the most knowledgeable person on coffee I have ever met. If this isn't obvious in the craftsmanship he applies to his trade, then you aren't a true coffee fan. If you continue to visit and listen to his coffee conversations, you can't help but learn a ton. Now for the coffee...I am a traditional coffee person. I like my coffee black, no cream, no sugar; so yes, I am boring. I find those that order their triple half-caff double Chia latte with cinnamon revolting people that talk more about themselves, the Kardashians, vaccinations and whatever other mindless nonsensical fad happens to be popular. You can find these people at the green and white place happily displaying their latest technology as a status symbol, but I digress. I was so impressed with Naiman's knowledge I threw caution to the wind and left my coffee experience in his hands. He had no clue that I liked my coffee plain Jane with the only question being "whole milk?", to which I said "yes." After the typical slam bang of the espresso machine I was presented with the non-descript white cup with the to-go lid in place. I didn't care to take the lid off top to see what was inside as the first sip would tell me more than any visual. As I take that first sip, he asks, "So?" My mind is now seriously confused. I detected a bit of mocha but the strength of the espresso bean and the silky smooth sensation of real whole milk froth. I ponder the fact that I like this; no, I REALLY like this. My response is a guarded one of "Café Mocha but there is something strange and delicious." His response startled me. Naimen revels to my shock and horror that I just had a "BLACKBERRY LATTE!" I think to myself, how can this be? I am a normal blue collar coffee type! I am not a one bite fruit guy. I love my droid and my Linux and my old school punk and all things anti-latte, yet I somehow love this blend. The elegance of the blackberry syrup made and espresso bean creating a slight hint of Mocha combined with the smoothness of whole milk is a testament to molecular gastronomy. I have now come to the conclusion that as long as a craftsmen is true to their craft, I can respect that. I can not only respect it, I can admire it. Corona Café is a true rarity and certainly respects that art of coffee brewing and blending. While the green and whites are painting by number, Naimen is a true artist. read more

Corona is exactly the type of small neighborhood coffee shop that I am happy to support. The building is not the fanciest. You won't find granite fixtures and snooty leather chairs. You will find a business owner who is absolutely passionate about coffee and taking care of customers. I thought I knew a fair bit about coffee until I talked the owner. I know nothing, Jon Snow. That said, espresso is serious business to me. I am crippling my financial future, shorting my retirement, and eliminating a number of pricey private schools from my children's futures because of the amount of money I spend on espresso. Good espresso matters, and, when done well, it can be sublime. I am heavily biased toward shops that use Cuvee beans (a local artisanal treasure and a shining example of what is right in the Austin food scene), so I was skeptical about Corona using different beans. I was very pleasantly surprised with the quality of the drinks at Corona. The beans from Trianon, turned into a delicious rich espresso. The drink was great and a nice change of pace from the Cuvee that I drink almost every day. To folks in the Mueller / Capital Plaza area, you should be patronizing this shop. If you are getting your daily fix at Starbucks or, gag, McDonalds, then you are making a terrible mistake. Come out and support an underdog and get superior coffee in the process. It's a win win. I'll drink a double to that. read more

As someone who's a bit of a coffee snob, it's not easy for me to be impressed - even when the product is crafted by personal friends. I have to disclose that the owners of the cafe invited me to display and sell my photography on their walls - but I assure you, when it comes to food and drink, I can be painfully objective. Just as many mothers do, mine taught me not to say anything unless I had something nice to say - so this is what I have to share with you: I have several friends that own foodservice establishments. They're not all terrific (the estrablishments) - and even for "family", they don''t all offer consistent service. I tried the Latte and a Curried Chicken Salad Sandwich the other day - and all BS aside - I'm still thinking about that experience - and will most likely repeat it before the day is over. There are lots of great options to select from - and some of you might frown at my glowing review after a brief visit. In my defense, I'll say this. Have you ever been on a date and shared that first kiss that informs you of a bright future? I've been fortunate enough to experience this at least once in my life - and I feel confident that Corona Cafe will love YOU a LONG TIME!! (My "inexpensive" rating applies to businesses with a dollar menu. The sandwich I had cost $5, and my huge latte was $3 - hardly expensive - and well worth the cash.) read more

Rigby Roastery - Add fixings - enjoy the art - Coffee Roasteries Near Me

A great little coffee shop and cafe located 20 feet from Nomad bar on Corona Dr. at Cameron Rd. Owner Naiman Rigby and his perpetually pleasant staff serve up quality cups of love and do it with a smile every time. Come here for some really top notch java (roasted & purchased locally in the nghd). The espresso is bold and always pulled to precision. The hot drip coffee and cold brewed toddys have exceptional levels of flavor. Try them first without your milk preference - I promise you'll be surprised at how superior Naiman's offerings are to your typical cup of joe. They also offer Horchata (yup), hand crafted Kashmir chai, refreshing fruit seltzers ("agua frescas") and syrups - ALL are made in the store. Like I said, Corona is all about quality drinks. Arrive hungry as well. There are soups made in store from mama's recipes, made to order sammies, fruit & yogurt parfaits, breakfast tacos and pressed paninis to name some choices. Always ask what the chef has prepared today. If it sounds like walking into Corona Cafe will leave you spoiled for choices on good food and great drinks then you are correct. It's a nice problem to have and Naiman and his staff will happily deliver you to flavor satisfaction. Come chat with a friend, get some laptop work done or pop in for a quick caffeine fix. Either way, break the chains and come patronize this local gem! read more

Really like the vibe here. Immediately liked the owner as he was polite, positive, and very knowledgable about his craft. He's like a mixologist with coffee. He was training a new barista when I arrived so I got the pleasure to hear him talk a bit about the chemistry of the decisions he was making while brewing. Ordered the Blackberry Dark Mocha and holy crap, one of the best coffees I've had. Not too sweet with lots of flavor. Most coffee shops cover up the lack of complexity in their coffee drinks with more sugar, which I hate. Wish I was living in Austin again to hit this place up every day. Come here and you won't be disappointed. read more

Quaint locally owned coffee shop. I never would have thought it was here but for randomly seeing it when my husband and I spontaneously decided to drive around the surrounding neighborhood about a month ago. We wanted to check it out, but it was closed at the time. I had an early morning meeting today and decided to stop by after. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I had the iced Luna, and it was perfection. Also had some breakfast tacos which are from Tex Mex off of Manor. I absolutely loved the black bean, egg, and cactus taco. Will need to check them out with the hubby sometime. I have been frequenting the Star Bucks off Barbara Jordan (Mueller Area) for sometime now, but with this place just a few blocks away from there, I think I found a new morning spot. They were not too busy, so it was easy to find a table and there are plenty of outlets for you to charge your phones, laptops, and other devices. I definitely would recommend this place and encourage you to GO LOCAL. They close at 3, so Star Bucks may keep my loyalty in the evenings. read more

Nothing like going to your local coffee shop and make a basic and simple request to only be read the riot act. Ask for a 16oz coffee in a 20oz cup, not really unheard of and I got a whole diatribe. The fun part? The guy saying multiple times "I'm not trying to be a dick!" I don't believe you dude. The kicker? I paid $3.50 for a coffee that ended up being 12oz. I point this out and then get more of an argument i didn't ask for. Just a short pour and a lecture as soon i woke up. Thanks dude. You know how to treat your neighborhood folks. Never again. read more

I felt like Goldilocks when my son started taking classes in the Highland area and I had to drive him down there a few days a week and find a place to park my laptop and work. The first 3 coffee shops I tried (all west of 35), were just wrong. All wrong. And then on day 4, I wandered into Corona Coffee and everything was right. My world was right. And I'd found home. Let's start with the vibe - real Austin without attitude or poseurs. The owners, Brigette and Naiman, are welcoming, whether you are a regular or a brand-new face working through their delicious and extensive coffee/tea menu for the first time. The coffee is smooth and rich, the syrups are homemade. Teas are great and there is an assortment of food from tacos to sandwiches to salads. The walls are lined with artwork, the music is eclectic and never obtrusive. Wi-fi, a/c and electrical outlets (the latter two were issues in my Goldilocks search) are available. Whether meeting friends, colleagues, or in need of a place to get work done and drink amazing coffee and tea, this will always be my go-to. read more

In my mind it's inarguably the best espresso/coffee in Austin. They are roasting their own, and producing a fantastic product every time. Casual seating and friendly staff.

On a Friday morning after a meeting I was looking for some good coffee. I found this place near where I was so decided to check it out. The place is super small and cozy and has its cute own style. My experience when ordering was great and he was very informative and knew his coffee and everything about his menu for sure! I decided after he gave me a few options to try the jupiter (hot) which is a orange dark mocha. I will say it was heavenly and probably one of the best coffees I had. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I loved it. Definitely will go back when I am in the area! Next time I definitely would lovw to try an iced coffee and other menu ootions since there were so many!!! read more

A must go place!! Many reviewers rave about this place and they are right- it is some of the best tasting and most unique coffee I have ever tried. The place itself is in a ghetto strip center and the inside may not be so large but do not let that stop you from trying this place. The owner is very passionate about his coffee and the creations he has concocted. As per the owner's request we all got the New Moon latte- one hot and one iced. This is blackberry dark mocha coffee which may sound off putting but it is truly amazing. This is their most popular and the blackberry flavor is not very strong- just adds a nice subtle sweetness to the dark mocha flavor. They also have milk options as I got mine with almond- they also have soy and may have some others. We returned twice on our trip. read more

It's sort of like walking into the Twilight Zone when you step in here. One minute, you're in the hood and the next minute you're inside a genie's bottle. I found myself here for the first time recently. And I've most definitely been back since my first visit. It sort of feels like you're walking into someone's home, and all their regular friends are there just hanging out and talking. I believe I was greeted by the owner, who was very nice and informed me of their offerings. I came in close to closing time (3PM) and ordered a large iced coffee, unsweetened and no room for cream (that's how I roll, black as night). It was delicious and I sat down for a bit trying to figure out what the wi-fi password was. Then I remembered I live 5 seconds away and there really was no need to find it out at that moment. But really, I like this café a lot. It's in a strange shopping center right before you enter an older neighborhood. In fact, you can find it in the same place as Nomad. No problem parking here, there's also the lot in the back. Always somewhere to sit, since this place is kind of a secret. Friendly family that runs it, friendly customers, smack dab in the middle of the hood on the eastside? And I could totally walk, if you think it's safe. I'm in. read more

This place is exactly what a friendly neighborhood cafe should be. I drive far out of my way to visit this coffee shop, and the owners always make me feel so welcome when I do. The family who owns this shop are the nicest and coolest people I've ever met, their awesome kids work here too and make the best drinks! Everytime I have been here I have tried something new and have never been disappointed. Everything from the home-made muffins to the home-made sandwiches are delicious! -Try the orange-cranberry muffin -The tomato-basil sandwich. Can't go wrong with chicken salad either. -Their iced coffee is the best! I also love the iced chai, or ask them to make you an Italian soda! -They even get cupcakes from a local baker on occasion and they are delicious! As for the shop itself, I can only say nice things. It's so cozy, the wifi is super-fast considering the place is always filled with people using their laptops, and it's very clean. They always play great music (never too loud though, so I can still work, but enjoy it) Unlike the other reviews, I don't mind in the slightest that they are closed on the weekends, because not only do they sell weekend coffee-provisions (brilliant) but I understand that spending time with family is important, these people work very hard and deserve that. This place is my new home away from home. Corona Cafe-can't top that! read more

I've really wanted to love Corona for a long time now since it's the only place of it's kind in the hood but still fail to be wowed by it. The previous owners seemed to finally be getting it on lock-down - good coffee, locally made empanadas, pizza slices, and tacos as well as some other sandwiches ( which I think were also local) - when it was taken over by new owners. The new owners seem very sweet and it's obviously a nice family run sort of place now. I have been mostly disappointed by what seems like the lack of fresh pastries and other local goods as well as the pretty slow service, which in the morning rush can be a bit frustrating. Add to that the fact that they're closed on the weekends, I just don't see many reasons why I'll be stopping by in the future. So sad, WP really needs a standout coffee shop/cafe. read more
