1.Patika Coffee

4th St and Congress Ave

Yelp reviewer Ari A. from Manhattan, NY said: “Why go to Starbucks when you can get your coffee from a truck and not have to worry about a ten person line? Besides, there are better quality coffee and beans, and Patika puts the love into your drink & swirls your latte with a leaf.”

2. The Hideout Coffeehouse

617 Congress Ave

Yelp reviewer Diya L. from New York, NY said: “Good drinks selection, ice cream, coffee-ice cream shakes, Sugar Mama’s cupcakes, gluten-free cookies, sandwiches, breakfast tacos for $2.75, and bagels. For a small shop they keep a pretty large selection of local food products. I didn’t try the food but the green tea was delicious and refills are only $1.”

3. Brian’s Brew

515 Congress Ave

Yelp reviewer Heath S. from Felsom, CA said: “This small coffee dispensary is located inside the B of A building on Congress. He (Brian) is an awesome guy to talk to and takes pride in his craft. Their espresso beans are wood fire hand roasted locally and brew with an amazing cream layer....smooth. I bring home a bag every visit to Austin.”
