Like a lot of other places in Austin, Spokesman is a coffee shop by day and bar by night. But what…read moremade them unique was the vibe! Very relaxing, yet moody and fun at the same time. I stopped in for a late afternoon pick-me-up and ordered the seasonal Earl Grey matcha latte. So good! The Earl Grey added a light, fragrant twist to the matcha without overpowering it, which made the drink feel really balanced and unique. I ended up hanging out for a bit to read a chapter of my book before heading out. It's the kind of place where you could easily get some work done, study, or just enjoy a quiet break with a good drink.

What a great coffee shop! They also serve beer in the evening. I came to journal and really…read moreappreciated all the tables and seats that were available and nearly almost every seat had an outlet available. I had the special the Chaider and it was good but wish it was a little less sweet. I also appreciate they had for here cups so I could enjoy the drink in a real cup. Parking on a weekday was easy as there was plenty of free parking, but know that the lot is shared with many businesses. Food wise they do have kolaches that can be warmed up and they also have food trucks that open once 11:30-12 pm hits. Great place to study and the wifi was strong! Saw a ton of people working so definitely popular spot for people to work.

I first heard about Noble Joe Coffee on social media and decided to stop by their Riverside…read morelocation. I like that they empower small businesses and entrepranuers by supporting new nonprofit organization each month and use ingredients from local Austin businesses to support the community. They have a food truck located in the AMLI South Shore Apartments that looks like a trolly. There are lots of picnic type seating. Parking was a bit of a challenge by they have a parking garage within walking distance. Service was friendly and quick, which always makes a difference. I decided to try the Blackberry Crumble matcha seasonal drink. The drink was very refreshing with a nice balance of sweetness and tartness from the blackberry. You still get the "crumble" flavor layered in, which made it feel unique and a little indulgent without being too heavy. Overall, a solid spot with creative seasonal options. I can't wait to try some of their other seasonal flavors. They deliver on their mission of making quality coffee while providing the best experience.

I am not sure if Casa Brasil has become Little City Coffee Roasters, if Little City has CB roast…read morecoffee for them, or if this place is now Little City's roasting house. But I tried my 3rd package of Little City coffee, (shipped from this address on their website) and though good coffee, it is simply not a dark enough roast for my espresso. I tried Messenger Espresso the first time, many months ago and was underwhelmed. The beans were just not dark enough, shiny enough nor oily enough for the sort of espresso shot I like to pull. They made perfectly passable drip coffee in a pour-over, but I am a 99% espresso guy. Recently I took advantage of a 20% discount and rapid delivery (next day! Arrived on Monday, ordered Sunday!) to try the two darkest roasts offered, Grackle and Republic. Again, passable drip coffees, but not able to produce the thick rich crema and distinctive oily mouthfeel and toasted flavor notes I was looking for. Great fast to the door delivery and good prices (though for a 12oz package, compare carefully) and as I noted, pretty good coffee, but I will return to the Italian espresso (occasionally mixed 75/25 with French Roast) from my usual roaster Anderson's to feed my Gaggia Classic Pro.

Another great Yelp event. I learned a LOT about coffee today. Joel, the owner of Casa Brasil is…read moredefinitely a coffee connoisseur. He gave us a Coffee 101 where we learned everything from the history all the way to how it reaches the end consumer. We learned about the different types and tastes of coffee at it's different stages. We were served many different brews from "defected" coffee beans up to some premium stuff so that we can get a taste for what good coffee should be like. Don't let the location fool you, when you walk into this warehouse looking shop, inside has some of the FINEST coffee you can buy. Joel's good buddies with all the best plantations and Brazil and prides himself on having first choice on all the BEST harvested coffees from these plantations. If you've had coffee at Spiderhouse, Uchi, Torchy's, and many other places around town, there's a good chance they're sources from Casa Brasil. Basically, if you like making coffee at home and not paying a premium for coffee at these shops/restaurants, you can order directly from Joel. They roast upon order so you definitely get the beans at it's freshest. The bags they come in are all hand-painted too. If you're not wanting to order from Joel or make a drive down south, you can find their coffee at your local Central Market. Bottom line, if you want the best quality coffee you can possibly find, go here.

Cosmic is a great coffee and drink spot in Austin, I feel like everytime I go in a date they always…read moresuggest this place and I can see why. The ambiance is really fun and unique, especially with the little water pond that adds a relaxed, outdoorsy vibe. There's a good mix of indoor and outdoor seating, so it works for different moods and weather. The drink menu is huge, with coffee, tea, and both alcoholic and non alcoholic options, so it's an easy pick no matter what you're in the mood for. I also like that there are food trucks right outside, which makes grabbing a bite super convenient. Plus, the large parking lot is a nice bonus. Overall, it's a really solid, easygoing spot for hanging out or going on a casual date.

The coffee is spot on as at the other location. Shared an iced butterscotch latte with my boyfriend and it was yumx2. There are similar interior decor elements but the exterior spaces differ slightly. Saltillo is more industrial and city. This location is huge with lots of outdoor seating as well as indoor. They've got a mini food truck park (3 trucks), koi pond, chickens, nature, etc. It's definitely a great spot for families with kids and larger gatherings of folks. Just like "our" location, service is exceptional. Everyone was so good to Sir Benjamin. He was so relaxed and chill during our hangout. It's that peaceful vibe that comes with good service and pretty landscaping.

This cafe is one of my favorite fantasy driven locations to visit in all of Austin…read more Their rotating special menu with unique flavors make this a standout in an oversaturated marketplace. Austin is known for having a lot of coffee, but very few have identifiable differentiators. Merfolk's creates coffee flavors based on fantasy lore, so you honestly never know what the special menu will have. That's why we keep spending our money there. Many of the drinks are sweet but the staff is more than happy to make adjustments as needed! The ambiance is also so cute and whimsical.

My boyfriend had Angela's Ashes (iced)---I took a few drinks of that and woo-wee is it good. It's Mexican mocha, oatmilk, and cookie butter.

The service is always friendly and efficient. Though the footprint of the shop is small, they offer plenty of indoor seating and a charming patio area. Great for a quick caffeine fix or a relaxed morning bite. One small downside: if you're eyeing a seasonal drink with decorative toppings, skip the 'to-go' order. They don't include the garnishes on takeout drinks, so you'll miss out on the full presentation.

You could only taste a hint of everything described, and overall the drink was pretty bland. I love the decorations and the space inside though, it was so clean and aesthetics.

It was about a 15 minute wait. I didn't see anyone in line ahead of me, but I assume they were making online orders. They are located in a dilapidated-looking apartment parking lot, where the signs all say that parking is for residents only. I parked in one of those spots, but I kept worrying that my car was going to be towed when I turned away for a few seconds.
