1. BookPeople

9.4
603 N Lamar Blvd (at 6th St.), Austin, TX
Bookstore · Downtown Austin · 122 tips and reviews

Andrea K.Andrea K: Great study spot - get a coffee inside and then set up shop at one of the shady tables outside; the staff won't bother you, I've sat here for hours studying for midterms.

2. Bennu Coffee

8.0
2001 E Martin Luther King Jr Blvd (at Poquito St.), Austin, TX
Coffee Shop · 127 tips and reviews

Andrea K.Andrea K: The BEST 24 hour study spot in Austin! This place is quieter than Epoch, and the drinks are just as good (often better). Tons of outlets for your laptop. I'm always here cramming at midnight.

3. Mozart's Coffee

9.2
3825 Lake Austin Blvd (at Enfield Rd.), Austin, TX
Coffee Shop · West Austin · 249 tips and reviews

Andrea K.Andrea K: Great study spot. I prefer one of the outdoor deck tables, or one on the lower deck close to the water. It stays pretty quiet both in and outside, and the desserts are incredible during breaks!

JP's Java is one of Best Austin Study Spots.

4. JP's Java

2803 San Jacinto Blvd (Duval), Austin, TX
Coffee Shop · Hancock · 33 tips and reviews

Andrea K.Andrea K: Was better before they added the bar, but still a comfortable place to study and get work done, just a block from campus. Drinks are too expensive, but food is good & it's a cool atmosphere.

Architecture & Planning Library is one of Best Austin Study Spots.

5. Architecture & Planning Library

Battle Hall # 200 (302 Inner Campus Dr), Austin, TX
College Library · University of Texas-Austin · 3 tips and reviews

Andrea K.Andrea K: My favorite library at UT - this place is almost never crowded, but does close early. Huge tables great for spreading out your books and work while studying.

6. Flightpath Coffeehouse

7.8
5011 Duval St (at 51st St.), Austin, TX
Coffee Shop · North Loop · 68 tips and reviews

Epoch Coffee is one of Best Austin Study Spots.

7. Epoch Coffee

8.8
221 W North Loop Blvd (At Chesterfield Ave.), Austin, TX
Coffee Shop · North Loop · 127 tips and reviews

Andrea K.Andrea K: Open 24 hours = awesome, especially for studying. Great drinks, food (pizza), and service. Gets super crowded so if you want a table during midterms/finals, good luck.

Strange Brew Austin Coffee is one of Best Austin Study Spots.

8. Strange Brew Austin Coffee

5326 Manchaca Rd (Stassney Ln.), Austin, TX
Coffee Shop · Westgate · 89 tips and reviews

Andrea K.Andrea K: Less than $2 for a cup of coffee AND a free refill! Plus WiFi, and it's open 24 hours!!! This place was made for late night studying, don't let the neighborhood it's in stop you from checking it out!

Spider House Patio Bar & Cafe is one of Best Austin Study Spots.

9. Spider House Patio Bar & Cafe

2908 Fruth St (at W 29th St), Austin, TX
Bar · North University · 186 tips and reviews

Andrea K.Andrea K: Spider House has a really cool setup and a great menu of drinks. Great place for light studying, but kind of loud/distracting if you're looking to get some serious studying done.

Etter-Harbin Alumni Center (UTX) is one of Best Austin Study Spots.

10. Etter-Harbin Alumni Center (UTX)

2110 San Jacinto Blvd, Austin, TX
College and University · University of Texas-Austin · 6 tips and reviews

Andrea K.Andrea K: The lounge area on the 1st floor is made for comfortable studying. Gets pretty full during the day with students getting coffee or a panini from TX Expresso, but once you have a seat, stay for hours.

11. Perry-Castañeda Library (PCL)

University of Texas at Austin (101 E 21st St), Austin, TX
College Library · University of Texas-Austin · 55 tips and reviews

Andrea K.Andrea K: A go-to for any student at UT (remember your UT ID past 10pm). Tons of seating on all the floors, but get there early in the day during finals if you want a table. Reserve study rooms online!
