HOUNDSTOOTH COFFEE
Houndstooth has become a staple for coffee enthusiasts in the area — so much so that they now have multiple locations throughout Austin. This coffee shop places its main focus on espresso made in the traditional method. Not only do they serve their infamous espresso shots, but they also offer the full gamut of coffee drinks as well as all of the modern options for dairy milk alternatives. If you order a latte or any other coffee style that calls for foamed milk, it will likely come fully dressed with a cute piece of latte art to complete the cup. If you are interested in indulging in coffee brewing at home, they sell their products and their preferred tools right in the shop.
TERRIBLE LOVE
This is a great option for when you are on the go but still would like to enjoy a quality cup of coffee. The menu is simple but straightforward, focusing on quality instead of variety. Different brew methods like pour-over and cold brew allow for variety in the strength and body of the coffee. Matcha lattes are also available for those who enjoy traditional green tea in a different form. Terrible Love modernizes the idea of a coffee shop, instead deciding to pour their cups out of a coffee truck.
WRIGHT BROS BREW AND BREW
This is another awesome coffee shop that has a special allure. Located in East Austin, it features a beer bar alongside quality cups of coffee. Having a beer bar combined with a coffee shop is already a great selling point for a café. To make things even better, the beans are directly from the co-owner's roastery. Different brew methods, such as aero press, drip, pour-over, and espresso, are all available on the menu for patrons to enjoy. The coffee menu headlines basic brews as a general recommendation but does not stop at just that. Craft beers and specialty coffee drinks are frequently ordered as well. Friendly baristas chat with customers while they make their drinks or decide what brew to try next.
FLEET COFFEE CO.
Fleet has become famed for creating art full of creative caffeinated drinks. Their menu is fully outfitted with all of the standard coffee options that you likely have grown to know and love. They don't stop there though, pushing the limits of caffeinated sips with interesting drinks that combine rare ingredients with coffee or other sources of caffeine like matcha and guarana. Tacos and baked goods from local hotspots are showcased in the front of the shop and often cleared out since people enjoy adding a snack to their creative cups of coffee. With both patio seating and to-go orders, Fleet Coffee makes sure you can enjoy your drink however your schedule permits.
PATIKA
This south Austin cafe is great for grabbing a cup of coffee that you plan to accompany amazing baked goods or even a glass of wine. Heavier meals are also available throughout the day since many patrons here stay and enjoy the ambiance of the cafe for an hour or two. Traditional coffee drinks like espresso, lattes, macchiato, and cortados can be ordered with your preferred fixings or black. The cafe offers food options that pair well with not only their coffee variety but also available wines and beers.
SPOKESMAN
This has become an area staple, so you will have a few options for which shop you would like to visit. Coffee is roasted in-house and brewed to order. A consistent offering of beans means consistent cups of coffee and options that can be shipped for lovers of the coffee shop that may reside out of the local area.
BARRETTS COFFEE
Located in the Crestview area of Austin, Barretts Coffee is an option for fun cups of coffee and other drinks that may be new to your taste buds. Other than the traditional espresso and pour-over, they offer matcha, chai, and even a chocolate orange blossom latte. They serve their drinks in-house and to-go but also have a service delivery for beans and growlers of cold brew.
