    Nice vibe with the outdoor seating which has fans at some tables. Inside there's foosball, Pac-Man, and pool. We didn't stay because the bartender told us they stopped serving coffee at 5pm.

    Yesterday, I was judging an art contest in East Austin in the morning and decided to grab coffee there. I sent out an inquiry to see if any of our Yelp crew wanted to join me. A friend suggested Stargazer as great place for coffee and she was spot on. Our meeting at Stargazer was great for coffee and to hear the details of her recent London trip. This place was as the name implies where you could stargaze. Smile. The stargazer vibe immediately grabs you! The interior is open, sun filled, and full of plants, with high ceilings that make the whole place feel open and welcoming. The colors are soothing, adding to the relaxed vibe. The outdoor patio is just as inviting with outdoor seating in a courtyard type environment (think resort-like with a pebble walkway). Stargazer feels simultaneously playful and whimsical as well as being thoughtfully designed. We ordered lattes...my friend got an Earth, Wind and Fire (not sure it was a play on words for nature or the Lionel Richie band) with matcha, ginger, bergamot, and honey, while I chose a Cinnabomb with espresso, maple, coconut, MCT oil, cinnamon, and steamed milk. Both lattes were quite tasty. We enjoyed the well-designed space, lattes and especially catching up.

    Menu - zero proof

    Only tried zero proof drinks. Realllllllyyy sweet. However the ingredients were unique. Service was really fast and I absolutely love the ambience. I can't wait to go back here for brunch / food - or for a guest DJ.

    1 part cocktail and 1 part coffee and you have Stargazer. Conveniently located right off a parking lot (and taco truck), Stargazer has this funky, earthy vibe to it. The setting here is somewhere between a craft brewery and a botanical garden, which gives it a very unique feel. Throw in a pool table, some foosball, and various nightly events such as trivia or comedy, and you have something special. By the time we got to the counter to order we were pretty excited to see what was in store. However, the wait was... long, which wouldn't be bad if we hadn't been the only people in line. We must have waited about 10 minutes or so before we got someone to take our order, and that's with a barista at the bar and another worker restocking in front of us. It just felt like there was zero urgency and the line behind us began to grow and eventually got to the door. When we finally got our order taken the staff were nice and the process was smooth. We ordered a hot chocolate and a hot strawberry matcha latte. They do offer a pretty expansive menu with cocktails and other specialty drinks if that's your vibe. Our drinks came out pretty quick and we drank them while playing some pool (pretty cool sentences to say when it's coffee you're drinking). The hot chocolate is fantastic; it has a sweet milk chocolate taste similar to Dutch Bros but a bit better in our opinion. The strawberry matcha was just okay, much more on the earthy side with a nice hint of strawberry in it. The bottom of the cup had a lot of semi absorbed matcha in it which was a bit unenjoyable to finish a drink off with. We really liked the setting of Stargazer and it's hard not to. Between the funky vibe, cool events going on, and games, it's a lot of fun. The service leaves a bit to be desired and the drinks were hit or miss, but it's a place we would come back to, especially with things like pickleball and rock climbing nearby. We're looking forward to coming here again and seeing if things are different, but for now we feel this place warrants a placeholder of 3.

    THE BIG: Located in the Springdale neighborhood of east Austin, next to the rock climbing gym. Very vibey spot with good lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of parking in the lot outside. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here with the wife for a comedy show at Stargazer. The place is very unique with super tall ceilings and these giant disco balls hovering the air. There seemed to be a back area with more seating but that was closed off as the front portion was the comedy show. Also a nice little bar was off to the left side of the building for drinks. You can also BYOF, so we got a pizza from bambinos and ate it during the comedy show. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, I spent around $10 for a drink here and definitely would come back to chill or watch another comedy show.

    Super cute spot that feels modern and cozy, with plenty of seating and little nooks for conversation. Parking was easy for a Friday night, but the place itself was a little tricky to find since I didn't see an official sign. I was there for a social event so didn't get the chance to try more than one drink. I had an espresso martini and it was great, with just the right balance of alcohol. The bartenders were funny and friendly, which made the experience even better! Lots of drink options, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Definitely want to come back and try more!

    Part coffee shop, part. cocktail bar, party cutesy venue - I envision small open mic nights or comedy shows in this space. And guess what, when I checked their website I saw that they do all of that and more. Book swaps, trivia night, concerts... I met up with a colleague for a caffeinated meeting - though we were both so tempted to try the frozen aperol spritz! I'll def return for that. The wifi worked, the tunes were good, loved all the plant vibes. Only thing that wasn't so great was being swarmed by flies. Dunno why, but they were obsessed with my matcha.

    Unique place, friendly folks. Lots of indoor and mostly outdoor seating. The Pilsner that my husband got was very good. I got the brown sugar butter latte, it was ok.

    Saw signs for this place so felt inspired to check it out for a Friday happy hour and what a delight that was. It was busy in the front area with people wrapping up their work day. Super casual, especially since it's a coffee shop in the morning. The back area is a secret gem. It looks so fun! I want to bring some friends back here. The bartender was telling us about all the fun events they have throughout the week like open mic nights and comedy. Definitely need to check them out. The frozen margarita had a $5 deal. I'm not sure if it was just for Fridays or an everyday happy hour thing. The frozen Aperol Spritz was really something special. They didn't have any food besides pasties but Handsome Dan's next door had some snacks so we enjoyed that with our drinks from Stargazer outside on the shared patio. Great time and WILL be returning!

    Cool spot with coffee and cocktails. Great place to work from on a Friday. One note is would be great to have sweetness and oat milk out so that I don't have to keep disturbing the barista. Didn't love the taco truck outside (portions are huge) but the Greek sandwich truck is a must try.

    One of the most unique spots I've ever been to Austin I've lived here for over 18 years and I can't believe that this was a hidden spot now will be my go to spot just cause of how gorgeous the environment is ambience way out of the top service was so diligent and quiet and nice was early in the morning just one opener and it just felt so homey. Drinks, what can we say about tea it was so good I can't believe that. It's just a hidden local spot that we could have all gone and visit and we should

    I am here in Austin and always looking for new spots for drinks and coffee. Stargazer has an excellent selection of cocktails and coffees. I loved my Cosmic Cruiser cocktail made with Toto's vodka, raspberry and blood orange syrup. With a great indoor outdoor ambience Stargazer is wonderful for a lazy day with your kids and pets. I can imagine it's also great to work or study during the week, or play boardgames with friends over the weekend.

    Baked goods and ice cream
    Steve W.

    This place sits on busy Springdale Rd tucked behind some other businesses. It's actually almost not even visible from the road. It should be mentioned that parking can be a real problem during peak hours. As the other reviewers have already mentioned, it is a good place to bring your friends, the kids, your laptop and your dog. Connected to this business is Hansome Dan's bait shop, a climbing place and other businesses. The place is divided into two parts by a line of oak barrels. At the entrance is the bar and several tables to sit at while music plays loudly overhead. Behind the barrels is a room that can be rented out for private events or overflow. The back room still shows traces of the former East Ciders tank farm footprints. There's also plenty of seating outside under umbrellas and shade trees. There's also a small live music stage, but there's only one unisex bathroom inside. You'll find a couple of cozy couch nook areas and a foosball table. Perhaps due to the high ceilings the AC struggles to keep it cool. Along with coffee and some decent alcoholic drinks, including frozen drinks, they have baked goods and ice cream. One thing I noticed is that as the evening starts to cool off with the setting sun, it becomes a relaxed and romantic place setting. 10 informative photos to get you more familiar with the business.

The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.

Being that we live south, it's rare we ever venture out to the east side so I was excited to try it. We had a 6pm reservation on a Wednesday and were promptly seated at a table. We're big fans of sitting at the bar if available, so we asked to switch and it was no problem. The main reason we came to Trona was due to a pop-up happening by Foodie + Tina. Excellent handrolls, crudo and even the chicory salad was amazing. The cocktails we tried were new to the menu as of this week and came with Christmas flair. They were good but not mind-blowing. The bartenders were super nice and easy to talk to. It was really dark which is normal for a speakeasy but as another reviewer suggested, makes it difficult to read the menu. One thing I noticed was they were burning white copal and it took me immediately to Tulum, MX - smells so good! Parking was easy, in an alley nearby. It might be helpful for customers if they had signage in/near the parking lot - we were unsure if we were in the right spot initially.

Two, I came on Saturday and there were two DJs who were obviously having a lot of fun, which is good however, they do have the tendency to take you high and immediately low. For example, they would play a Sexxy Redd song and immediately Frank Ocean or even slower, Keith Sweat--the choices didn't make sense a lot of the time.

The bathroom is also disgusting but what can you expect when there's only TWO STALLS IN TOTAL, meaning there's no separate stalls for men or women. Also, these are the same two stalls that you share with restaurant goers so it can get busy.
