Social News Network: Dare I say my favorite? The cafe is charming. I love to sit outside both winter and summertime (they have heaters when it's cold). Nutella gelato! Sorberitas! Best hummus plate! Dates + Studying.
Social News Network: Not the place to make a quick stop. Spider House is all about good food and good company. Service is slow. Great for studying and socializing, but it is loud. Food not best, but pie, queso, hummus.
Social News Network: Embodies grungy, chic vibe of East Sixth. Quiet, dark. I went when it was raining and sat outside. Not necessarily best for studying due to the dark lighting, but a great place to chill. Laid back.

Coffee Shop · North Loop · 127 tips and reviews
Social News Network: Open 24 hours and carries Quack's baked goods! Very limited seating, so you often have to sit with a stranger. People sitting inside are here to study.

Coffee Shop · 127 tips and reviews
Social News Network: Limited seating and parking, but great study spot. Many people toil away here, so it is comforting to see you aren't the only stressed out college student. Great pizza. Biscotti, meh. No free refills.
3825 Lake Austin Blvd (at Enfield Rd.), Austin, TX
Coffee Shop · West Austin · 249 tips and reviews
Social News Network: Beautiful on Lake Austin. Tons of outdoor seating and plethora of desserts! Bottomless coffee is offered but it gets cold pretty quickly. The desserts and ambience are the thing here, not the coffee.
Coffee Shop · University of Texas-Austin · 13 tips and reviews
Social News Network: Hidden gem on UT campus. It's in the alumni center and is a full service coffee shop and cafe. Reasonably priced coffee drinks and healthy lunch options. Comfy study seating. Great meeting place.
Social News Network: This is the most well rounded coffee shop! Great for lunch, casual dates, and studying. I prefer the breakfast options here. They have great daily deals and bottomless coffee.
Coffee Shop · Downtown Austin · 194 tips and reviews
Social News Network: Ideal for socializing. The coffee is excellent (I favor the skim cappucino) and the food is equally delicious. Live music and alcoholic coffee drinks makes it a great evening hang out. NO STUDYING.
