We usually go to Willie's for crawfish boils and tear up some shrimp and sausage as well but little did we know this hidden gem had been here the whole time! I trusted another reviewer with their recommendation of the sugar-free German chocolate cake latte and I'm sure glad I did! I was feeling wild so I got coconut milk, haha. Ron gave me kudos for that choice. The latte was perfect -- the flavoring masked the quad shot and it was delicious! The gentleman taking the orders was kind as well and boy was he quick!!

In the last couple of years, I have tried beans from many specialty coffee roasters ranging from…read morethe best local options to mail order from all over the country. Third Coast has become my 'daily driver' for espresso, as their beans offer the best combination of quality, value, and service. El Guapo has been the top choice so far with classic caramel, chocolate notes and a nice syrupy mouthfeel. Every bag has been consistently-roasted and quick to dial-in. Third Coast has so far resisted the insane shrinkflation that has affected many coffee options. As a comparison, local roaster Greater Goods is nearly 2x more expensive, and Third Coast is better. This is the best value in high quality espresso in Austin...and maybe across the US. Highly-recommended!

The staff clearly recognized quite a few customers during the short time I was there to do a quick grab and go of caffeine. The staff was super friendly and took their time in helping me pick out a bag of beans based off my personal preferences and intent of use (cortados/lattes vs drip/press). Their beans are well priced at around $14 a bag AND you get a complimentary drip coffee with the purchase! I felt like a winner! I also gave their canned lemonade and coffee drink a try - because why not? It had a unique and almost chocolatey flavor. Not sure if I loved it personally, but the quality of the ingredients and flavors were distinctly there. Certainly will take the time to come back to test out the space for a remote work day or a casual outing. Big plus: They have a parking lot and the option of indoor and outdoor seating. That's more like it!

But frankly, during the last half of the year, I have to say there is a significant change in the atmosphere of the company!!!! When I found out that the other co owner is less involved, it all clicked. I think Khanh has done a tremendous job in turning around the negative, attention seeking coffee culture of her partner. The difference in vibe is SO obvious and it really is great to see a woman become empowered within her own establishment! It is always moving to see a woman in coffee shine, and I am happy to see that the REAL owner of this business is able to finally flap her wings and do so. Congrats in the great turn around!!!

My Must‑Stop Coffee Spot in Gruene…read more Gruene Coffee Haus is my go‑to spot every time I'm in Gruene, and since I live close by, it's an easy stop that never disappoints. The location is perfect, the vibe is cozy, and it's one of those places that just becomes part of your routine. They offer all the standard drinks along with great specialty options -- lattes, teas, smoothies -- and everything is consistently good. The service is friendly, and the prices are surprisingly reasonable for such a popular local shop. They also feature some amazing coffee beans, including my absolute favorites: Texas Pecan and Bourbon Streusel Cake. And if you want them ground, they'll do it for you on the spot. The shop itself is small, so it fills up pretty quickly, and their assorted pastries tend to go fast too -- but honestly, that just shows how loved this place is.

There were so many businesses present at this event, and it was crowded with long lines but our favorite smell was in the air...COFFEE! We were looking for some really good coffee to purchase and after sampling their Peruvian Medium Roast. Darrell & Sandy Vasquez brew their coffee in house in small 6 pound batches to maintain absolute freshness and this was evident in the flavorful sample we tried today...SOLD! My Husband Tony was particularly impressed by how he felt after tasting just a small sample, "more energetic, perked up but not edgy" which is just what we need from our brew of choice during these particularly cold mornings. Darrell and Ryan had on some pretty cool t-shirts today demanding a photo, and hopefully will be available to purchase online dsroastery.com after this request :-) They also have a special cold-brew available that I am especially interested. Thank you for great coffee experience today! L.h

Maybe that's great for a work space but just felt very uncomfortable as a spot to come sit and hang out with my toddler. Who I mean, yes he is a toddler and not super quiet but he was being very well behaved and not overly loud. So I definitely don't recommend this spot for hanging out with someone to chat or with children--strictly a workplace. I just prefer a more welcoming, warm vibe for coffee spots and this felt cold. That all being said, the barista was kind enough. Unfortunately, the iced latte was watery and too light. Maybe stick to hot drinks or non-milk options, and come here for strictly to-go or quiet work.
