The secret to finding a table during finals? Getting coffee to-go and heading to the library.
I heard that this is the #1 spot for first dates in Austin -- so, yeah, there's a reason for that.
One of the nicest coffeeshop interiors in Austin - grab a comfy seat and relax.
Say yes to the turnover. And they have specials -- look at the time, and sometimes you can get 2 for 1 on certain baked goods.
Um, how can anyone say no to gelato? I don't even look at anything else on the menu until I've had my fix.
The homemade peanut butter cups are divine -- split it between 2 people if you want to be good.
Be careful of where you park. Getting towed shouldn't be a part of your coffeeshop routine.
Tons of parking by the train tracks during the day, but if you bike, you'll get more karma points.
I'm in love with the Vietnamese Iced Coffee. Just don't make the same mistake as me and get 6 shots in your drink. You won't sleep for days.
I don't understand -- every time I order a drink here, it's filled to overflowing. Get extra napkins.
The espresso milkshake may appear in your dreams. Frequently. It's that good. Be warned.
Take a picture with a loved one next to the "i love you so much" graffiti. It's mandatory for all Austinites.
This place has the most exquisite expresso in town. It's worth the hassle of parking lot hell. Take a moment, sit down, and enjoy your cappuccino without distraction.
Table service! Validated garage parking! This might have to be my new go-to Austin Java location.
One of my life goals is to become a regular at this place. The nicest staff, excellent tea, and a back patio of your childhood dreams.
This location plays the best coffeeshop music in Austin. It's like listening to my own iPod.
If you're downtown, come here. If you're not already in walking distance, go to a different Austin Java location.
Dog-friendly. I ostensibly come here to study with the pooches, but really, it turns into drinking with the pooches.
Summermoon's primitive roasting technique is unusual: It uses a hand-cranked mesquite wood-fired oven. Try the Summermoon Latte (a creamy espresso drink prepared with "Moon milk").
They roast twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays. Happiness is espresso beans roasted today!
24 hour coffee shops are hard to come by in this town -- if it's during finals, it's worth the drive down south to this treasure.
I admit it; sometimes I write here in hopes of catching a glimpse of Lance Armstrong.
If you check in with 2 friends, you can get a $5 pitcher of Lone Star. All the more reason to be social, right?
Eggs renedict rock my world. Just be sure to bust out your patchouli before entering -- this is a haven for the "Keep Austin Weird" types.
If you find yourself with a little extra time on campus, this is the place to go for a frozen coffee beverage.
Conveniently located next to a busy bus stop. If you have a coffee emergency while traveling public transit, this is the place to go.
Friendly people good coffee free wifi and power outlets everywhere. Awesome spot.
The best place to catch harried iSchool students in the morning. Future archivists and librarians evidently need a lot of caffeine.
There's something about leather chairs that makes the coffee taste that much better.
The bathroom is shared with the phone store next door. If you go down a strange hallway, yes, you're in the right place.
Drink coffee and work online all day. You can order from the full Grove menu next door and eat it while you sit in leather lounge chairs.
Stay open past three on Friday thru the weekend and me love you long time.. All the coffee shops are just too full on the weekend!!!
As a displaced Californian, I come here to reminisce about Los Angeles. It may not be the best, but it's like home.
This is more of a "sit down and have breakfast and leave" kind of place than a "sit down and do work with coffee" kind of place. But the breakfast tacos are truly yummy.
If you just drank a lot of kick-butt coffee and need to expel some energy, check out the Wii in the corner and show that TV a good flail or two!
Lots of natural light, serene and quiet. Plus, they make a delicious cappuccino!
If you are staying at the Radisson, this is a great place to grab a good cup of coffee and skip the Starbucks line. Fast, friendly service too.
I love the Hot Rod (Red Eye) and Ken always has a couple of foreign brews ready!
Walk in, greet the very nice front desk guy and go up the stairs. Take a peek in the chapel, too! Can't be beat: $8 for entrée, sides, dessert and coffee. Best kept secret.
Formerly the Garden District Coffeehouse, Jeani's ("Jeanie's" if you read the store sign carefully) Java is very quiet and cozy for you to relax and enjoy a quick cup of coffee. Local bean roaster.
Here at BC, your morning pick-me-up is made by a robot, so you can get your 2oz espresso shots without having to deal with an annoying real-live barista. Read more.
Best little coffee shop in town. The zebra and mocha frezians with an extra shot are perfect! Friendly staff too.
Don't ask the Barista if this place is a Starbucks, it offended him. The cups say Starbucks, the sizes are Starbucks, and there is a big sign on the wall that says "we proudly serve Starbucks coffee".
One of the coolest, Austin-y places around. Book signings, cool cafe, unusual books and eclectic toys & gifts plus a huge assortment of interesting books. A not to miss place!
Hipster paradise. Plenty of parking for your penny farthing while you enjoy an artisan crafted brew and work on your manuscript on your typewriter. Polaroid selfies encouraged!
