    Melissa D.

    Cute unexpected coffee shop. The service was good and the coffee was good I got the seasonal special of the peach compote latte hot and also the trble latte Iced and decaf. The banana flavour is really good

    I've been wanting to try this place out for a while and I'm so happy with my experience:) The baristas were so nice and the coffee tasted amazing! It's also a very cute and quiet spot with plenty of parking and outdoor seating. I can't wait to try different items from them.

    My new favorite coffee shop! Tucked away in the enchanting courtyard of a school building-turned office building. The coffee shop window is in the school's old boiler room. The matcha latte is so good, I got mine with grapefruit syrup which was surprisingly a great combo. Service is friendly and fast, we showed up around 9am on a holiday weekend and had our drinks in minutes. Highly recommend walking the property, seeing the garden and enjoying the courtyard. I didn't try to WiFi but I can see it being a nice coworking spot once the weather cools down.

    I would definitely recommend coming here to try their TRRBL latte. It is such a delicious mix of banana and chocolate. The flavors go together so well. The place has tons of parking and a bunch of outdoor seating so perfect for enjoying a sunny day with your caffeine!

    My friend and I love to try different matcha spots as a casual afternoon getaway during work and happened upon this cute little hideaway. Terrible Love is run by a lovely owner with creative drinks. I was originally pulled here to try the matcha and grapefruit syrup. Unfortunately for me, it was not for my palate. However it does indeed taste like grapefruit! Instead, I was allowed to swap out for a different syrup where I asked for a mix of banana and caramel - lovely mix! Additionally, they do not charge for milk upcharge. They also have unsweetened matcha if that's your vibe! While my first drink wasn't for me, I'm curious to try their coffees next time I come to Austin!

    Quite a hidden coffee place. If you follow the signs you may find the group of people sitting down. Even up to here you will still keep looking to find the coffee shop. It's not in the school, people will look at you if you try to open a door. Their special menu select is very small. Like only one special. Other than that their chai was very well made with an amped up spice level. Nice place to grab a drink and take a walk. Plenty of parking in the area.

    I tried this coffee stand while working on site in Austin and I really enjoyed my coffee. This shop only offers a walk up window for ordering and outdoor seating for guests. I got the TRRBL Latte and it was nice and not overly sweet. I would definitely return the next time I'm on site.

    It is a cute little coffee window in the middle of a neighborhood. A little hard to find, but not impossible since they have signs around pointing to it. We got a chai latte and a matcha latte. Chai was close to traditional masala chai so it was a bit spicy. Matcha latte was with grapefruit sugar syrup so it was pretty sweet and fruity. It was not crazy busy and we got the drinks quick. There's plenty of parking, and lots of opportunities to walk around.

    I love hyde park!

    Best Chai in town- it's the spicier, punchier kind, less sweet. Great service, love walking here from my apt in Hyde park.

    Terrible love is a cute coffee shop for a perfect weekend morning coffee. I ordered the TRRBL latte which is similar to a banana bread or banana pudding latte and it was delicious! The banana flavor was mild but just enough for a fun coffee treat. It had whipped cream and vanilla wafers on top and was a perfect Sunday morning treat. It's a walk up coffee shop with outdoor tables, so it's a great place to sit outside and enjoy the sun. The service is super friendly and I would definitely come back!

    Terrible Love is one of those fun little hidden gem, a bit of a non-traditional coffee shop tucked away in what used to be the boiler room of the old Baker School in Hyde Park, now part of the Baker Center. Kind of tricky to find, but worth the hunt if you're in the area. I had the matcha latte and it was pretty darn good. Smooth, balanced, not overly sweet. I grabbed a breakfast taco too. It's more of a taco of convenience (wrapped in foil) than a fresh-off-the-griddle situation, but it hit the spot. Came with excellent salsa. Seating is all outdoors at picnic tables, so you've got to catch it on a nice day and be in the right mood for the very casual dining al fresco experience. The staff was super friendly and approachable, which can be hard to find at some Austin coffee spots these days. If you're into unique, off-the-beaten-path coffee hangs with good drinks and vibes, this is a fun one to check out.

    Love this cute little neighborhood coffee shop! It's so cute tucked in between the houses! Long line but it goes fast! Got the matcha latte which was so smooth! Highly recommend! Also love that they don't up charge for alternative milks.

    Grapefruit latte
    Roshini T.

    Loved the grapefruit latte from terrible love! I was certainly hesitant to try it out as I thought it would be very bitter, but I bit the bullet at got it. As a vanilla latte lover, I wasn't too sure about the grapefruit at first but as I continued drinking it, I enjoyed it more and more! Definitely was a bit of an acquired taste at first but I truly enjoyed it and returned for another not even a few days later! You order at the counter and there is plenty of outdoor seating options available

    I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about this tiny restaurant in an older strip mall bearing…read more a big blue sign that said "Diner" on it. But I enjoy new experiences and menus with eclectic dishes. The menu had few choices for breakfast and I was unsure why it was suggested as a breakfast place. It's actually a good place to eat any time of day! The beautifully decorated patio provided the perfect welcome into their modestly decorated air conditioned restaurant and bar. When I say bar, it's more like a 1950s bar that you can sit at and have a meal at. Although drinks and meals were offered any time of day! The waitress was pleasant and helpful in suggesting add ons with my meal. But being a purist, I wanted to try it as intended. The food arrived in the normal amount of time. When I first saw my mozzarella omelette I was a little surprised! It didn't look anything like what it was described as! Oh well! I thought. Let's give it a try! My taste buds were happily amazed! Could this omelette smothered in mushroom gravy, green "pesto" and bread crumbs be the best omelette I've ever had?! The mushroom tomato gravy was so smooth! Along with the cilantro avocado topping. That tasted more like pesto, gave it the perfect zing! I had wished I the had ordered some toast to dip in the sauce. I could have done without the bread crumbs. But they were easily swept to the side. The amount of mozzarella cheese in this omelette led me to believe it was more of an omelette lasagna than a plain old omelette. This place is definitely a must if you are visiting Austin!

    My first experience here was amazing, which is why I was excited to come back for breakfast…read more Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. I ordered the migas, and the amount of onions in the dish was overwhelming--so much so that it felt like I had ordered a plate of onions rather than migas. The masa cakes were definitely the standout item and were absolutely delicious. However, the rest of the dish fell short. The sauce was extremely rich, making it difficult to enjoy or finish the meal. That said, the restaurant itself is adorable, and our waiter was fantastic. The service and atmosphere were both great. While this breakfast wasn't a hit for me, I'll still return and stick with favorites like the fried green tomatoes and taquito salad, which were excellent during my previous visit.

    I dined at The Scarbrough for brunch during my stay in Austin. It was just a short, pleasant walk…read morefrom my hotel. The Scarbrough is located inside the Scarbrough Building lobby. They specialize in crepes. They have a handful of small tables as well as couch seating. You place your order at the counter then the staff brings it to you once it's ready. I ordered my go-to drink, an oat milk latte with honey and cinnamon as well as their Lox n' found croiffin. The latte was great. The Lox n' found croiffin comes with a toasted croissant roll, smoked salmon, ricotta, avocado, arugula, capers, pickled onions and dill. I added an egg for an additional charge of $2. This was a beautiful and tasty sandwich! It was very filling, too. I highly recommend checking out this unique spot!

    The food is delicious, and the setting is unique, but the service is a bit slow…read more The restaurant is located in the lobby of the Scarbrough Building. It's a small space, with only around eight tables and a tiny kitchen behind the counter. It's a bit hard to locate from outside. There's no big sign on the window indicating the restaurant's name, just a plastic A-frame sign outside the building's doors. When I got there, four of the eight tables were empty but the dirty dishes had not yet been cleared. It took close to 10 minutes for the tables to be bused. Because the kitchen is so small, I'd recommend going up to the counter to order as soon as you get there. I believe you can also place your order online using the QR code on the table, but I didn't try that method. I ordered the lox n found, a toasted croissant roll with smoked salmon, avocado, dill ricotta, arugula, onion, and capers. The menu says it also comes with a side of roasted potatoes, but mine didn't come with that. The sandwich was delicious and filling, so I definitely didn't need them, but I do feel like I didn't get what I paid for.

    Coffee shop meets bottle shop meets wine shop meets cocktail bar meets pizza shop meets cafe/diner…read more All of these things rolled into one makes The Meteor a standout choice for a cup of tea or pastry for brekkie, a salad or burger for lunch, or pizza for dinner. Rather just have a latte or a beer? They've got beer on tap and in the coolers for take away purchase. Cider and other bevvies as well. Going to a dinner party and want to grab a nice bottle of wine? They've got you covered. Fancy a cocktail or a glass of juice? Have at it. They've also got a small shopping area where you can buy hot sauce, gift cards (to The Meteor), cups, mugs, and more. Wanna hang with friends? Nice interior decor with seating. Small seating outside in front of restaurant and a large covered patio in the back. Want a place to get some work done? Bring your laptop, they've got wifi for ya. Walk up to the counter, place your order with the cashier, get a number, grab a seat. Someone will bring out your food when it's ready. Cool vibe, steady flow of customers all day long. Had a smashburger and OMG fries (the seasoning will get ya)...really good! Boyfriend had falafel in a pita...really good. We shared a glass of iced ginger plum tea...also really good.
