Austin's Best Coffee Shops, Fall 2014

View as Map

For students and freelancers alike, work and cafes go hand in hand. The beginning of September means that school is back in session and work is gearing up for a new quarter. Lots of buzzy new coffee shops popped up since the previous coffee map, like Cuvee and Radio Coffee and Beer. Here's the latest and greatest on where to caffeinate while hunched over a laptop (or maybe a book).

Radio Coffee & Beer

Copy Link

South Austin’s newest coffee shop brings good coffee (including Stumptown's nitro cold brew), lots of open open space, a Veracruz taco truck to satisfy those hunger pains, and plenty of tables inside and out for those who prefer sun or air-conditioning.

Cenote offers pour-overs of a rotating series of Cuvee and Handsome beans, as well as house-made syrups. Where they really shine is their impressive food menu, respectable on-tap beers, and generally warm and welcoming atmosphere. Also, their new bike rack is shaped like an octopus.

Cherrywood Coffeehouse

Copy Link

It's appropriate that Cherrywood is named after its neighborhood, because it's a true community space. They are very much a coffee shop of the old school, with a huge outdoor performance space and lots of tables to while away the afternoon with friends and kids and friends' kids and a couple dogs, too. Their coffee menu covers the classics, and their massive breakfast tacos are not to be missed.

Irie Bean Coffee

Copy Link

The relaxed vibe at Irie Bean makes for a good studying atmosphere, along with free wifi and seasonal lattes, plus hemp milk options.

Bouldin Creek Café

Copy Link

The cool aura at the vegetarian cafe makes studying more pleasant. The coffee bar offers up Black Velvet beans, and four milk options, too.
