We were visiting my BFF in Austin, and I just knew I had to take my family here. I came with my BFF, my mom, and my aunt. They had me help them choose their drinks during this visit. Neither of them could finish their entire glass of beer, so I ended up chugging the remaining half of both of theirs. The customer service was so sweet--I was struggling to translate the menu with my mom, and the guy at the front desk was truly helpful throughout. It really raised the experience of this place during what could've been a relatively stressful situation. Dirty Horchata - I was hoping for a stronger horchata taste. It's not bad, so it was worth the shot! Just grateful it wasn't too sweet. My BFF felt the same, as we're both horchata fiends from growing up in Chicago. Cherry Cider - The cider has a tangy taste. The cherry flavor isn't as strong, but it's a fragrant drink. The flavor slowly became sweeter the more I drank it. It grew on me, but it wouldn't be my go-to unless I knew I was munching on something salty that night. Violet Blueberry Blonde - My favorite of the two. This one has a tamer flavor with a nicer floral note. It was exactly what I asked for. I felt like I could've easily chugged a few of these. The guy at the counter definitely chose a great pick. I love the low-key ambiance of this place, the peaceful nighttime atmosphere, the fact that it's wedged into a cozy nook, and how it isn't so LOUD like many bars. Didn't get bit by a mosquito while we hung out there for an hour, so that's a huge plus. They were probably chewing on my friends' legs too intently to consider me, though. Wish I had something like this near my place in Houston. I would regularly hang out here on a weekday, no cap. read more

$3 PBRs, open 24/7, what else can I ask for? Time to Order: We got here around 9:45AM. Walked over but they seem to have plenty of parking. Tons of outdoor and patio seating, a few tables indoors in the AC. I ordered the Flapjack, hot, with double espresso in a larger cup, with half sweetness (effectively a large with less services). Delicious saltiness and cinnamon! I really enjoyed this. I tried the honey lavender latte which they said was the least sweet of their fort favorites. The lavender flavor was very forward and there was a hint of sweetness on the back of the tongue, so very accurate. I didn't get as much coffee flavor here so maybe double espresso if that's important to you. Friends also tried the seasonal coconut macadamia latte (they said it was nice, like a sweet nutty flavor). Really solid coffee spot with great vibes, I'd come back. read more

Great place for coffee and working in the morning. Lots of outside space. Coffee is a reasonable price. Folks that work here are really friendly. Wifi is good, as long as you are fairly near the building. Have done video calls here with no problem. Taco truck next to it is great also. read more

The Buzz Mill - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

one of my regular Austin spots and the fact that it's open 24 hours has saved me more than once. The coffee is strong and flavorful, and their specialty lattes are always worth trying. Food trucks outside make it easy to grab a bite while you hang out. The space is rustic and quirky with lots of wood, string lights, and a big patio that feels like its own little world. Inside is smaller and cozy, while outside has plenty of seating and even a stage for live music or comedy. It's also dog-friendly, which adds to the lively atmosphere even though I don't have a pup of my own yet. Service is consistently friendly and helpful, and the vibe makes it just as easy to keep coming back to. read more

Love this fun eclectic spot! Stopped by for breakfast (the food truck wasn't open yet) so grabbed an ice coffee from the bar... yes the bar! Awesome combo spot to get your drink on.. with or without some kick. Cool patio and awesome decor inside and out! A few folks were on their laptops, so there must be good wifi also. Staff was awesome and super friendly. Will definitely return to try more later! read more

My cousin frequents this place and in wanted good coffee so Buzz Mill it was! It's a cool place! The staff was friendly. Lots of places to sit. The menu was good! Definitely a place to come enjoy a coffee and company! I tried a lavender drink and it was perfect. Just enough sweetness and just enough lavender flavor. I want to go back to try the other items they offer. read more

The Buzz Mill - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was looking for a spot with free Wi-Fi, coffee, and tea where I could sit outside, do some research, and make a few calls. That's when I came across The Buzz Mill. While scrolling through Yelp, I saw some patio photos that looked interesting enough to check it out--but let me tell you, the pictures didn't do it justice! Their outdoor space is huge, with a variety of seating areas that make it feel like a little hidden oasis. You enter through the patio from the parking lot, and it immediately feels inviting. There are string lights, shaded areas, umbrellas, canopies and, terraces, making it the perfect spot to hang out. The indoor seating is smaller, but there are still a few cozy spots if you prefer to be inside. Shoutout to Chandler and Brian for being super chill and welcoming! I just grabbed a small black coffee for a little over $2, and it was solid--definitely worth coming back for. I visited around 3 p.m. on a Friday, and while there was a good crowd, it was still comfortable enough to work without feeling distracted. There's a small stage under the terrace, which looks like it's used for live shows. Whether it's comedy, music, or something else, it seems like a great spot to catch an event. They even have some benches set up for an audience, which adds to the cozy venue vibe. Overall, The Buzz Mill is an amazing neighborhood hangout. I'm so glad it's in my neighborhood! And the best part? It's dog-friendly! There are water bowls scattered throughout--though they weren't filled, so I assume it's a self-serve situation or you can ask for water at the bar. I'll confirm next time and update this review. Oh, and they have some super cool t-shirts inside--possible local artist designs with Buzz Mill branding, including some awesome bear artwork. Definitely grabbing one! Honestly, this place just has awesome energy. Whether you're with family, friends, or just vibing solo, you'll find your spot here. People were sipping coffee, tea, beer--it's got a little something for everyone. For now, it's a solid five stars. We'll see if it holds up, but I have a feeling this will stay one of my go-to spots. 100 percent coming back. read more

I've been here a few times, and it's a nice place to be able to bring our little dog with us. Ample seating outside on the patio and smaller seating inside as well. Let me tell you something about those coffee drinks, though... OMCoffee...The Flapjack Latte about blew my socks off! It's made with maple syrup (of course), cinnamon, and some other flavors. Liquid breakfast in my mouth, gang! I am also a HUGE and I mean HUGE fan of the Caramel Apple Butter Latte! It's like autumn and Xmas and all that goodness rolled into one. Look, if I could live next door to get this goodness on the daily, I would. Maybe they'll set up a space for me on the patio. Should I ask? read more

Nice Riverside spot. Its mostly outdoor with beer, coffee, and food trucks through the day. Porters all year round. They have trivia nights every sunday at 8 with no set themes so the questions are all random. Great place to stop by when the weather is nice. read more

Buzz Mill is such a vibe. The coffee is strong and really good--definitely not your average cup. I usually go for one of their specialty lattes, and they never disappoint. They've also got some great food options from the food trucks outside--perfect for grabbing a bite while you hang out. The service is always chill and friendly. The staff know their stuff and move quickly even when it's busy. They've always been helpful when I want to try something new or need a recommendation. The ambiance is what really sets Buzz Mill apart--rustic, laid-back, and a little quirky in the best way. Tons of outdoor seating, lots of wood and string lights, and live music or events pretty often. It's the kind of place where you can bring your laptop, your dog, or your friends and just hang out for hours. read more

I was visiting friends in Austin and this coffee shop/ event venue was an unexpected surprise. First off the location was themed like a log cabin and felt cozy. The staff was knowledgeable and gave me some good advice on what to order. The coffee was soooooo good that I went back every morning. I also tried the taco truck out back on property and that was fantastic ( I had shrimp tacos). read more

I went to their free standup comedy last night and it was a waste of time . While ambiance and drinks from the bar was good, I wasted my valuable time from stupid comedy from zero humor. Save yourself if u r thinking free comedy with drinks and food. No, it is not!! read more

This is a good spot. I came here between lunch and dinner time with a friend I had not seen in a while. It's dark inside, and there's dustiness that, oddly enough, kind of adds to the atmosphere. It's a cozy kind of place. We managed to just sit and catch up for over an hour and stay comfortable. There is outdoor seating, but it's getting a bit too hot to do that right now. The service is quick and the baristas and cashiers have always been friendly. I loved my matcha latte. I also ordered a muffin and it was moist and delicious. I'm told the regular coffee lattes are good too. They do have pretty big a variety of drink options to choose from and I have yet to try anything from the bar portions of their menu. I'll probably get one if I'm ever in the area at a more bar friendly time. read more

SUCH a great place I cannot recommend it enough. It's open 24 HOURS. Great for live music, coffee, and alcohol infusions. As I ordered my coffee I was eyeing the infusions, the staff mixed my preferred pick with a cold brew as a sampler... SO NICE!! read more

The Buzz Mill - good vibes - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Verily, this place possesseth a most wondrous charisma. The keepers of this house are exceedingly kind and noble of spirit; ne'er have I met a friendlier company. Upon mine every visit, I am greeted with such warmth that I feel as though I have returned unto my second home. The grounds beareth the delightful spirit of a Cub Scout camp, and upon certain days, good folk gather to learn the arts of the wilderness -- the striking of hammers upon timber, and the shooting of arrows at distant marks. One morn there appeared a gentleman who stitched garments with great skill and courtesy. Another time stood a musician who played both the harmonica and the mouth harp at once, whilst bounding upon a pogo stick as though driven by enchantment. Upon a Tuesday not long past, a strange vessel descended from the heavens, and the musician was swept upward by its radiant light. He was taken, examined for his gifts, and after much probing for knowledge, was returned unto us transformed. When he reappeared, he had become a mighty totem, carved like a great log of the forest. I do believe his soul resides within the wood still. I commend this place most highly, and bid all travelers to tarry here awhile -- for truly read more

The Buzz Mill - A spirit - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

The Buzz Mill has such a cool vibe with a large back patio and a couple food truck options. I came for a coffee early in the morning, but they also have drinks & a wall of infused syrups or whiskeys. The baristas were kind, friendly & efficient. It's very casual but also good for working anytime of day since they're open 24hrs & pets are welcome on leash. I grabbed a dope bagel sandwich from Brooklyn Breakfast Shop in the back before heading out. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back again! Thank you all read more

My favorite place in the neighborhood! One of only spots left in ATX which retains the old vibes which used be the norm. Too many new cookie-cutter establishments in Austin nowadays... Most of which embody the same pretentious vibes/look as any overpriced place in LA or NYC. read more

Buzz is the perfect spot for drinks and grub. Not only do they have delicious, flavor-infused whiskeys, they also serve as a cafe with quality lattes and have a few food trucks on the grounds. I started and ended my day here because it was so good! In the morning, I came and got a honey badger latte, which was perfectly made and gave me all the hints of honey and cinnamon without being too sweet. In the evening, my friends and I enjoyed a variety of their infused drinks, pizza and cheesy garlic bread from the food truck onsite. I ordered the honey lavender whiskey on the rocks and got both flavor profiles. However, it quickly started tasting watered down with the ice so I definitely recommend just ordering the variety of infused whiskeys neat. The pumpkin crumble was also great and tasted just like a little treat. I had some of my friend's apply crumble whiskey and that was my favorite one by far, followed by the honey lavender. The Detroit style pizza was perfection! If you're a fan of Detroit style pizza, this is the spot for you. Not only were the drinks and food 5/5, the service was also excellent. Happy to have a new favorite spot to frequent on my trips to Austin. read more

I met up with some friends at The Buzz Mill for some afternoon coffee. It was my first time here so I ordered a house favorite, the honey badger latte with oatmilk. It was a bit too sweet for my liking but still a nice treat. I like that this place also has a full bar and food trucks in the surrounding area. There's plenty of seating, mostly picnic tables outside with lots of shared areas. I'll come back in the near future as I would like to grab a HH drink with friends or to see what this place is like during the wee hours of the morning since they're open 24/7. read more

The Buzz Mill - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Came here on a first date. I like the campy vibe; it's open and low key, with lots of seating. Do plan to get hot/sweat a bit if you sit outside in summer, but in the evening it's nice! I didn't realize but this place is apparently open 24/7 as well -- in addition to booze they have coffee drinks. Probably would be a great study spot if you needed one! They also have various events eg karaoke, live music, etc during the week - they have flyers up on the wall that mention the dates for these. I had a beer and a whiskey drink here, both were fine and reasonably priced. There was no line the night we went so service was quick too. And when I checked in on Yelp I got a little coupon! I live a ways from here so don't plan to seek out going any time soon but if I were in the area and needed a place to spend some time, this is a good option. read more

I haven't been here several times, love the vibe and open patio especially on cool breezy summer nights. The coffee is authentic although I'm yet to try the cocktails. Several food trucks including vegan options! They have open mic music nights on Mondays and comedy nights on Wednesdays. A good mix of local artists to watch as you enjoy your drink/food. Definitely worth going here for open mic to enjoy the shows and show your support for the artists :) read more

Buzz Mill is the best place to have in the Riverside neighborhood! They maintain two flavors but change their third cold brew daily. This is my go-to order lately with some half and half. The signature lattes are fantastic, not too sweet. While I've only had a cocktail there a couple of times, their selection of homemade flavored liquor is great. I have been to a couple of their comedy nights over the years--they're free, quirky, and casual. read more

Buzz mill is a cute and comfy location. The inside looks like an inn or tavern with big tables and benches. There is also a great outdoor area where we sat with my dog. The drinks were on point. We got the honey lavender latte and some tacos. The tacos are pre made and in a warmer so nothing special but not bad either. The meat was cooked in with the egg if that matters to you ie: chopped up bacon omelette vs eggs with a slice of bacon on top. They also had some infused liquor which I thought was cool but didn't get a chance to try. I will have to come back for that! read more

We loved it here! I was looking up coffee shops near our hotel and this place popped up. We stopped by on a Thursday morning and the service was great - everyone was laughing and friendly. They have such a selection of things here. I got the apple butter latte and my wife for the honey badger - both iced. They were delicious and exactly what we needed. They are also dog friendly and have treats by the checkout so we had to get two of those for our babies. They loved them. There's also lots of indoor and outdoor seating. I would love to come back to one of their events! read more

The Buzz Mill - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Officially opening Jan 20, 2023 at the Buzz Mill on Riverside Drive is a hot new burger food truck! With a 2-part menu and a separated cooking area for MEAT AND VEGAN options! Honestly so excited for this concept because it gives so much more options in one place. Went for the soft opening and got to try some of their menu items such as the Frontier burger (meat) and the queso blanco fries. We almost licked the queso out of the bottom of the fry container, so it was great. The Frontier burger was good as well, with BBQ sauce and onion rings in addition to a meat patty. Excited to see this truck to continue to serve customers and perfect their offering here in Austin. Wait was not long at all once we ordered, even with it being the soft opening. Hopeful to try more of their offerings in the future. read more

this place wasn't really my cup of tea.. the drinks were very average, had a pink lemonade and an iced tea. they both were watered down, pink lemonade was probably from a powder? it was so sweet, too sweet! smells weird here, like soggy towels in the heat. not a good place to work remotely from as they play loud music that doesn't have singing but like girls screaming, which is ok for another time but i just couldn't focus. people outside smoking cigarettes and the BIRDS omg the grackles in texas make a cacophony of noises it's bizarre and distracting lol. workers here seem like they're mad or something. i would not come back! read more

A chill spot! With lots of room and outdoor seating, I think this place is a hit. Plenty of dogs can be seen roaming around with their humans. Food trucks are parked near the entrance. There is a stage for bands. You can't go wrong with the atmosphere. As steep as prices are, they still aren't Starbucks prices. AND they are a lot more tasty. My half sweet Caramel Apple Butter Latte was the perfect amount of sweet to espresso ratio. The lone barista behind the bar was diligently making everyone's drinks while maintaining a cheerful smile. A beer and coffee place that is sure to appease everyone in your party. read more

What a cool spot! My lavender latte with oatmilk, 1/2 sweet & light ice was perfect. Perfect coffee gets an automatic 5 stars. They also have yummy breakfast tacos in the morning. I tasted my hubby's taco and it was very tasty. I ate a breakfast bagel from a bagel truck in the yard. I love that there are food trucks outside. I enjoyed a sea salt & rosemary bagel with cheese & egg. That brekkie sammie was so satisfying. This spot is laid back and welcoming with friendly staff. There are only a few seats inside, but plenty of covered outdoor seating. Later in the day, lunch and dinner food trucks open and they begin selling infused moonshines. I look forward to checking that out. We walked over from where we were staying, but you could luck out with some street parking a few blocks away. After hours, I am guessing that the nearby strip malls would not hassle one about parking in their lots. Swing by this spot when in the area. You will not be disappointed. read more

What in the world is this place - bar, BBQ or coffee house? It's all three! Ventured in late morning for my usual cup of coffee and was skeptical when I opened the door to see a semi dark wood decor. The sound of espresso steam and people standing around with coffee cups all indicated I was in the right place. The friendly barista/cashier told me their baked goodies were from a local bakery, Quackers (love the name!) and I decided on a pumpkin cheese muffin. Yum! Okay, now the drip coffee ... AWESOME! Yes, I'm talking about RICH, BOLD, cowboy coffee-esque flavor. Should have, would have come here a few days ago instead of the other roastery nearby (ugh, another sour coffee flavor ).

You know when you see a place a thousand times but think "I will probably be disappointed so why waste my time" so you never go? That's this place for me. Always wanted to go, wasn't sure if I should put the effort in. Finally went, took some friends, and we could have hung out all day. I'm hesitant to even write this because I want to keep this place a hometown, neighborhood gem. In an attempt to do so, I will keep the details light.... But their variety of house made whiskeys and vodkas and tequilas and such, awesome. The coolest part: you can get a flight of four to try multiple! That's all I will say. I've already said too much. read more
