    Stale day old danish and brewed coffee
    Frank T.

    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.

    Overpriced pastries
    Ally S.

    Hard pass. $8 for a danish pastry?? I get that this is at the airport but this isn't $8 worth. And to top it off, they stick it in the microwave, making it even worse than it already is. Such low-quality stuff.

    Organic?!?
    Brett J.

    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.

    Vanilla latte (hot)

    8/10 airport coffee. I got the vanilla latte and it was tasty - temp was perfect. 4 stars because it is pricy ($7!) I will give it that it's all organic, and the breakfast sandwich smells good (haven't tried it yet) However for the airport it's a solid coffee spot that isn't nasty. Good bet if you are just looking for a good coffee and don't mind the prices. Would come here again!

    Instead of Starbucks you will see Ruta Maya everywhere. A great spot to chill while waiting for your flight. p

    The barista is not that great, my latte was only 3/4 full and 1/3 of it was foam. Do not recommend the espresso drinks here.

    For some reasons their chai latte with whole milk is the best chai latte that I have ever had. Very creamy and fragrant.

    Excellent selection of baked goods by a local baker in Austin, but the counter service was slow.

    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!

    Stoped by here during SXSW 2026 to listen to some bands this past Saturday. They had some fun…read morecoconut water samples that they used to make cocktails at the inside bar. I got one of their dark rum cocktails. They had some yummy food trucks in the back and several of us had items from Wow Poke which was really good. The weather was nice so we could sit outside in the back area in the shade while we ate. Then we wandered around and listened to the bands for a bit. It's a really nice space. I've been there once before for swing dancing one evening. I wish I lived closer to it but I'm sure I'll end up back here eventually for another event!
