    Iced Matcha (Whole Milk, no added sugar)
    Red

    This is a matcha-only review I was originally intrigued by this shop because the only matcha (I knew of) in the AUS airport was Starbucks! I love trying local coffee shops and paid $8.00 for one plain Iced Matcha. Drink wise: Ratio of matcha to milk is not what I prefer--there is more milk than matcha. You can also taste sweetener. If you've ever had the Häagen-Dazs matcha ice cream, it's pretty close in taste. The service isn't bad. There was only one worker when I came in. I won't say names but they looked and sounded very defeated.. They were very quick with making drinks and asked all the appropriate questions. I believe this place is more knowledgable on coffee compared to matcha. Save your money until they have updated their powder to milk ratio.

    Decent coffee and the pastries are brought in in the morning. Service is great. Conveniently located in the airport terminal opens very early.

    Stale day old danish and brewed coffee

    Danish was stale day old. They heat it up for you to try and hide that. Nothing special about the coffee other than the high price. Oh well, live and learn.

    Nice Coffee!! Semi-Upscale Vibe here. Lots of Coffee and Tea options. I had a great cup of Joe!

    Ordered an iced coffee here and it tasted like it had been scorched when it was made. Further, the barista refused to fill up my reusable water bottle stating that they had no filtered water. If that's true then what are they making the coffee with? There appeared to be a filtered water tap right behind this person. If you like good coffee, and/or value reducing your envirenmental impact, avoid at all costs.

    I ordered some food and drinks here. I got some tacos and it was interesting to see her take pre-packaged tacos out of a paper bag, put it in the microwave, and then give it to me. Beggars can be choosers and it was actually surprisingly quite good and tasted like TacoDeli tacos. All good.

    The most lackluster stop at ATX.

    TLDR: Starbuck's pricing with service on a par with the worst the U.S. Post Office has to offer? Heck, sign me up!!! Stale-tasting tea, limited selection, and dispirited employee. I say 'employee' since I didn't see any other people working there. Presumably they chewed through their restraints and escaped into the airport at large. Seriously, if you're going to pay airport prices then go somewhere else. You won't find anything here unique to this store in the pastries or drinks, and you might even find someone with a pulse. Congrats, Ruta Maya - you're officially the most lackluster shop at ATX! This place scores a 1 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either.

    Organic?!?

    I passed by my normal stop at caribou coffee to come back and give this location a try.. Caribou had a long line and this place had zero... When I stepped to the counter and asked for a large 4 shot caramel latte I was informed they had no caramel! I walked back down to stand in line at caribou.

    Coffee tastes like dirt water. Nothing else to say, $5 and the "coffee" tastes like watered down dirt.

    As a big fan of Radio's original location, I've been excited to have a new Radio in SE Austin. True…read moreto form, this location is beautifully done with plenty of outdoor seating and *parking*, both an outdoor and indoor stage, and lush native landscaping throughout. Warning to those visiting around dusk in summer: during my last visit we were eaten alive by mosquitos. Other than that, love Radio. This location has three food trucks including one of my favorites, Shortwave Diner. Their smashburger and Reuben sandwiches with homemade fries are delicious. Radio also offers an amazing happy hour from 4 pm to close every Monday through Thursday. The hibiscus mojito is the perfect summer treat. This location has a great trivia on Tuesday nights too. I recommend it!

    TLDR: Diluted iced drinks, bad parking, and minimal outlets…read more After coming to Radio/East a few times now, I hate to say it, but the iced drinks are just too diluted, and unfortunately, is the common theme for the other locations I've been to as well. Most recently, I tried the Vietnamese Iced Coffee, Chai Latte, and the Berry Crisp Latte. What I was hoping for were robust, unique, signature flavors, but left unsatiated, wanting better coffee/tea elsewhere. In addition to the diluted iced drinks, another common theme you'll find is an unproportionally large amount of outdoor seats to indoor and challenging parking, and for those who work remote, there's still an ongoing hunger games for outlets. On the plus sides, there are a few food truck options, most notably Veracruz and Wow Poke and occasionally will host a fun event and/or concert. Overall, I really want to love Radio, but the cons make it hard to justify becoming a regular.
