50 Best Coffee Shops near Sunset Valley

“Met the woman of my life at this coffee shop. We sat outside and were the only ones. The atmosphere was fantastic. My future girlfriend loved the coffee so much that she asked me if she could have a second one. I loved the coffee as well and got one for her and for myself. We talked for over an hour and the ambiance made it even better. I will always remember the place where I met my now fiance. It holds a very special place in my heart, and I'm glad I picked this coffee shop.“

“I found my iced latte! Tried the Cinnatoast latte and have forever been obsessed! Place has a couple of tables indoors perfect if you wfh, where music isn't too loud and need just enough space. Their staff has made a GREAT impression on me with this cute little coffee shop. Bravo!“

“The BEST coffee in Austin. This is the only coffee I drive across town for, and I think my subconscious literally knows to wake up early on Saturday just to get her when they open. Brown sugar miso latte and choco cloud are out of this world. The team here is so friendly and the line moves quickly so don’t be intimidated.“

“I've always had a great experience coming here. Today I stopped by desperately to get coffee and a quick bite, as my salon across the street doesn't have food choices.The gentleman this morning, made my day by gifting a vegan coffee cake for my morning. Thank you.“

“I've been eating pastries, ice cream from this place since they are in downtown. Moving to New location made it even better and I love everything they sell. Definite 5 star experience everytime.Kid-friendliness: There is plenty of open space for kids to play and some kid friendly items like slide.Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible from parking to order and tables.“

“First time here and I tried the Rad Brew! Employees had great recommendations for what I was looking for. Huge selection of signature drinks- perfect for every craving! Bought some sweet treats as well that I purchased for some friends! MUST TRY IN AUSTIN, TX!“

“Had an absolutely delicious latte from Radio today. It was everything I was expecting and more.The extra parking behind the Cafe was especially nice.Made for an excellent stop for a meeting. It was loud enough to give a sense of privacy but not so loud as to be distracting.I'll definitely be back.“

“One of my favorite places to go with my husband to relax and have coffee and a donut's. I go about once a week. People are so nice a welcoming say have a great day and welcome something a lot of places lack in doing this days. Keep up the good “

“Love this place! Such a cool vibe, great drinks and fun atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and bartenders know how to make the BEST Espresso Martinis! Go see Branton at The Cauldron, he is our favorite and will take such great care of you!“

“We loved our experience at Perfecto Cat Lounge. We were able to hold, pet, play with and cuddle kittens and a larger cat who was there because its owner died. He was so sweet and came out of his shell. They had cute cat towers and places where the cats could climb up the walls and go into little enclosures to sit and look at you.You might want to call ahead and see what time nap time is. When we first arrived every cat was sleeping so we had to wait for them to wake up to interact and hold them. We very much enjoyed our time there and our experience with the cats.The best part is that all of the kittens and cats are available for adoption! So it's kind of like a free get to know the personalities of the cats before you buy them.“

“My boyfriend and I ate here last night, and i was so pleasantly suprised at how much I enjoyed it. The food was great- especially my order, the Spicy Miso Udon Soup with Seafood. Excellent service, gracious and exactly right. The space is great. We sat outside because the weather was nice but the inside is very very cozy and cute too. I am already planning my next visit for AFFOGATO and more Spicy Miso soup. I also want to try the Fish and Chips, and try the rice noodle option in the soup. Excited to have not only a good Japanese option but an espresso bar just a few blocks from our house. Will be back (probably this week)!“

“Had the avocado toast with a side salad and the star of the dish was the side salad cilantro-lime dressing. The dressing at the restaurant was a delightful surprise, perfectly balancing zest and herbaceous notes of mustard. The cilantro melded seamlessly with the zingy lime, creating a vibrant, tangy profile. Its creamy texture was spot on for the side salad.“

“I had dinner here 2 days ago, and the food was great! I especially want to commend the hostess that was working Tuesday evening. I did not get her name, but she is an African-American young lady. This hostess is very professional, hospitable, and accommodating. She is truly an asset to your establishment, and I hope that she gets the recognition she deserves for the outstanding hospitality that she provides to your patrons. Thank you!“

“This quaint coffee trailer was suggested to me by Talisman Coffee. I am so glad too! Took a trip on a Sunday and went back the next day for the Iced Horchata Latte. Employees were super nice and the place is located in a nice food truck area.Southeast needed this place! Can't wait to go back.Oh and the pastries are from Tx french bread!“

“Great little spot to grab an after dinner dessert. Parking is in the back. The lady that helped us was really sweet. We tried lots of flavors before landing on cappuccinos + stracciatella/vanilla from Madagascar. The gelato was creamy and delicious.“

“I so very rarely write reviews for places- but I felt compelled to do so. I had a Zoom call that ran WAY over the time it was scheduled for- which had my laptop battery on 5%. I brought my charger with me, and when I went to plug it in, the only outlets immediately available to me were 2 pronged, when of course, I needed a 3 prong. So I got myself up, found a 3 prong outlet, and stood there as my laptop got a little bit of juice. One of their employees kindly pointed out the charger right by my seat, but I told them it wasn't what I needed, unfortunately. Without a second thought- two of their employees found a new extension cord that had 3 prongs, swapped out the other cord, all so that I could post back up where I was. I have NEVER seen customer service that went above and beyond like that since I've moved to Texas 7 years ago. Bravo Progress!!!“

“I was on my way out of Austin when I had just the right amount of time to indulge on a breakfast. Boy was my belly happy to leave Texas with this as my last meal. I ordered the fried chicken with the biscuit and the biscuit was so perfectly done. The chicken crispy (and felt like more skin than meat but as a whole it was still good) and although it didn't come with it, I dipped mine in the hot sauce that the empeñada came with and it was delicious. The empeñada was yummy and the deep fried hash brown muffin concoction is pretty epic. Our server was 10/10 loved her energy and recommendations. She was all the things we need in the service industry and grateful we had her! All in all, if I'm back in Austin, I'd definitely make a pit stop here again!“

“My favorite spot to visit in between jobs. Great for coffee.. lots of specialities and if you're not working make it boozy The venue is gorgeous, roomy, and easy to get some work done! Always sweet and helpful staff! I learned cappuccinos are actually what I want! Not latte?? What?? See ya soon Radio!“

“Fantastic coffee, sweetest baristas, the food and vibes are immaculate. Love the vinyl DJs there everyday and the back garden space is so cute. I learned that they do so much to work with and support local musicians and music non profits. It’s the cutest little treat shop in Austin with a lot of heart cause they sure do TRY HARD! ☕️✨☕️Are the prices a bit steep? Sure, but it’s reflective of a business trying to make a difficult change in an industry that’s been operating on not paying folks what they are worth for a very long time. Will for sure be coming back here! ???“

“This is a wonderful little place. I thought they served something unique, but came to learn it is New Zealand style.Choose a soft serve flavor, a fruit, and toppings. You will receive your chosen fruit soft serve and toppings. The fruit other than flavor is indistinguishable.The service is window based, but friendly.No indoor seating all picnic tables with umbrellas. There is also a meatless food truck. In addition to ice cream they serve beer, wine, and coffee.We ordered the banana and Oreo 5/5 and blueberry with hot fudge 5/5.Parking: When busy parking can be challenging.“

“I ordered one of each pie offered and then created an additional one (cookie dough and birthday cake with whipped cream and sprinkles) to celebrate Pi Day at work. They were arranged in cute boxes, all tasted great! The team loved them all! My personal favorite was the coconut cream, OMG!!“

“This was a hidden treasure to find for me. It's pretty cool place to hang out, or bring friends or even go on a date to. They have a taco truck there which is delicious and inside all their baked good are also yum. They make coffees but one cool thing is they have whiskeys they flavor. And they have them out so you can see them..also people can bring their dogs and they have treats for them. I really like this place. Parking is super hard there so plan to spend a little time looking for parking. Sorry I didn't take pictures.Vegetarian options: I don't know“

“Good snacks (after the kitchen was mostly closed) great drinks and very friendly and professional staff. Plus, KBC is the spot for cool bands in North Central Austin. Ernie the sound engineer is a boss, too, so the bands sound great in there.Parking: Safe-looking, abundant parking.Kid-friendliness: All ages/kid friendly (bring earplugs)“

“Get the Thai chicken sandwich you won't be disappointed. Go at 11 am to beat the lunchtime rush at 12 pm. Everyone from the state capitol eats there so get there early before the crowd. Also that Texas pecan flavored coffee, that's the best, Jessie will probably fill it with a fresh pot if you ask for it, always the best service staff“

“We went here for a quick brunch with our large group of twelve people, and they managed to accommodate us promptly despite being very busy on a public holiday morning. Their attitude was excellent, and we felt warmly welcomed.The wait time for our orders was slightly longer than expected, which was understandable given our group size and the restaurant's full capacity.However, the food itself was excellent—well-presented, fresh, expertly prepared, and delicious.The ambiance was upscale, modern, and environmentally conscious.The restrooms were clean, there was ample parking, and they even provided toys for older kids.As for the service, it was outstanding. The staff were very friendly and attentive, making it easy to get the waitress' attention whenever we needed something.We will definitely return if we find ourselves in the area again!“

“Everytime I visit 99 Ranch, I always come by to grab a drink from Fruitealicious. The energy from Kyle and Carmen is super infectious and the drinks are always amazing for me. The customization in my drinks is really good and even if I'm unsure on a combo, their recommendations show that they know what works and it does. Bubble tea here is a must“

“Love the energy here! They have pretty good amount of seating, and the music is great. The girls who made their rounds asking if everyone was okay were really nice. The drinks are a bit overpriced $35 for 2 espresso martinis which weren't hand made it was just out of a machine and tasted awful. The wait for the drinks take so long, felt like we were in line for a good 15 minutes to get a drink when it was pretty slow. Fun place if you just wanna chill and chat, I wouldn't come from the drinks tho.“

“I found the perfect spot for all my health needs , from energy drinks without sugar to all kinds of protein goodies like smoothie bowls , shakes , coffee . In general I had a great experience. Excelente service as well .Parking: Plenty of spaces right at front of the store“

“We love Noble Joe! The staff is so friendly, Sarah and Dane are amazing, and the coffee is delicious. I'm so happy there's a coffee spot on this side of the trail. It's perfect for those early morning trail adventures. I've had their americano and matcha latte so far and can't wait to try some others.“

“Hidden gem!I'mma keep it a buck with you. I'm almost scared to post this review because I really don't want any more people coming here. But more than I don't want people coming here. I want this place to stay in business. Fantastic service, quiet space tucked behind the busy road, good coffee, and fair prices. Personally more than anything else the location is great. Not too many people here but just enough to give you social pressure to get stuff done. It's located in some kind of art Haven and I see lots of creatives and creative energy coming from the place. If you go here and you enjoy it, please just tell your close friends. I want to be mine and mine alone. Highly recommend“

“My wife and I drove to Buda for some work and found this place. This was such a good find. The owners were so friendly and offered to make any drinks we would like from so many flavor options. My wife went with Salted Caramel Crème brûlée mocha and I went with Butterscotch mocha. Both were flavorful and tasty.If we were living in Buda this would be our goto place for coffee.“

“I had Creature Coffee at my wedding back in April 2023 and the drinks are DELICIOUS! We get so much positive feedback on the coffee and tea cart to this day. The baristas were absolutely lovely. They were kind, funny, and super sweet. I highly recommend them!“

“Great place, service and great location right next door to HEB! People there are always very friendly and nice! Been going there for a while now! They have awesome shakes and teas! Prices are very reasonable! Go in and look around ask about the shakes and the teas! They have Protein bowls and they are really good! Has oatmeal, peanut butter, fruit and is very filling! They have a Monkey Bowl with fruit that is my daughter's favorite! I like it also, but my favorite is the Protein Bowl! They also do special events during the year, with different vendors! Always fun! Check it out! Come on in and say hello to them!“

“The drinks are incredible! I was shown this place recently by some friends. It feels almost like a little speakeasy. It has a super cool vibe to it. With both an upstairs and down stairs with completely different feels to it. They also have multiple drinks without alcohol!“

“I had heard about this and read about it and had a wonderful meeting here unfortunately did not order any of the croissants that they’re famous for but somebody I was with at a delicious chocolate chip flaky type of donut and I tasted. It was very yummy.“

“Noticed this coffee truck driving home and decided to stop & try it out. I ordered the CBD Blueberry Honey Iced Latte and it was delicious. They also have donuts from Bougies which is one of my favorite donut shops so I got a cake donut too.Yes, I will be going here many times in the future, cheers!!!“

“Cute little cafe with deeeelicious ice cream! We tried two flavors, forgot one but the other was Persian honeycomb. Absolutely recommend trying the spot for their unique flavors! It's also in the nice walkable Mueller neighborhood, so makes for a nice stop while walking around.“

“Great experience with Afuga. Barista lady is super friendly and she will suggest a perfect drink based on your taste and with her recommendation.I tried 3 different drinks while I was there. Overall it was great experience. Very lively place☕️☕️☕️.They also have beers on tap how convenient ?Will surely return here again.Parking: Parking can get difficult during rush hour.“

“I finally found a bakery in Austin that has the perfectly crafted, out of this world cakes and pastries. It’s quite a drive from my house but I will even walk to this place for the deliciousnesses. My son’s new favorite and mine too…Plus their cakes feel so light on body and soul…Thanks to the one who bakes these beauties.“

“This place is WONDERFUL! great for outdoor and indoor hangs. We met plenty of new younger parents and families and it’s super cozy inside during the winter! Fireplace with even fireplace visuals on the TVs. Great lighting and almost reminds me of a cozy cottage inside. Wonderful coffee and they have a great selection of wine, beer AND cocktails for the season. Decent parking in the smaller lot and on the street. New neighborhood hang for sure! 5 stars all around!!“

“If you've ever tried authentic japanese fluffy pancakes in Japan, you know these are not it. However, these pancakes are pretty fluffy and taste good. My favorite is mango. I am not a huge fan of their tea though. Atmosphere and decor are very cute!“

“Best coffee award ? Everything about this place was incredible. Warm service very beautiful and intentional space. Incredible coffee, I am unsure how I will ever drink coffee again, it was that good and so worth it ? I had the rosemary vanilla and it was out of this world ?“

“My favorite coffee shop in Austin and the best coffee. They so lovingly, personally source their beans from all over the world and roast in house. When we are not at this shop we exclusively use their beans at home. There is a lot of great outdoor seating and even a “secret garden” around the back. If you are a coffee lover, it’s an Austin must!“

“Came in to work in a coffee shop. Tried the Taro latte and the Morning Sam (Nitro). I really enjoyed the aroma and flavors of the blend and I have to say its definitely the best Nitro I have ever had with it being so smooth and delightful to drink.The environment was really nice, its darker in the sitting area and is a pub in the afternoon which is why they close at 2p.For working make sure your laptop/phone is charged. I did not see any outlets (I did not ask where an outlet was, but none easily available) It is a really good environment to work at if your not taking to many calls so I definitely recommend you come by to enjoy some of their impressive options and relax away while you work.Will be back. I hope Dog Day continues to grow and appreciate the owners love for coffee.“

“We love Samay Chai! Worth driving in to town just to get their Sabudana Vada and cardamom Chai. This time we tried the Bun Maska (Jalapeño Cheese Bread) and the papdi chaat, although we've tried the Vada Pav in the past (not our favorite). The service is quick and prompt. They are friendly. We like that there are a fair amount of tables in the area and there is a canopy in the back with a couple tables. We like that it's outdoors and we can bring our dogs with the dog park next door.“

“I consider myself a hookah connoisseur and can say from my experience that this lounge is the best hookah lounge by far in Austin. No other lounge compares to their flavor selection and hookah selections. They have premium tobaccos such as Tangiers, Trifecta, MustHave and etc. Also, they have premium hookahs such as Moze, Hoob, Steamulation, and my personal fav Aeon. They not only have amazing hookahs but great drinks, music, and ambience for the vibes. This is my go to spot to either relax or turn up on the weekends!“

“One of the best places in South Austin to work. The laid back vibe, whimsical outdoor space, and attentive staff make this place a must visit. Came here often to work on my dissertation and couldn't be more please with the change of scenery at The Hive. They're keeping it Austin Weird!“

“I lived in Paraguay for a number of years and this brought me right back to those days! The empanadas were beautifully made and the chipa! Seriously, the chipa was excellent. If you haven’t tried it then you are missing out! I loved the mate cocido and just how everything here is made with love! The owner is such a hard worker and she really cares about her customers and shop. I came in here with my little girl and the owner was so sweet to her. Support this local business and I promise you won’t be disappointed!“

“I recently visited the Central Coffee Shop near the University of Austin and was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service, diverse merchandise offerings, and overall delightful experience. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a welcoming atmosphere, making me feel right at home. Additionally, their merchandise selection was extensive, catering to various tastes and preferences. Overall, my visit was nothing short of fantastic, and I highly commend Central Coffee Shop for providing such an outstanding experience.“

“Stopped by on Sunday around 10am and there were about five people in line, but it didn’t take long to get to the front. Line up definitely picked up after we ordered.Got the lion’s tail and cold brew. Lion’s tail was a stand out. The all spice and lime flavour is such a unique and refreshing combo with espresso. Cold brew was standard.Paid ~$12 after tip for two drinks.They had seating outside that‘s good for groups of 2-4. They offer water, different sugars, and milk for your drink.Parking on the street. Can get crowded quickly so come around 10 to secure a spot. They have one accessibility parking spot at the venue.Wheelchair accessibility: One accessibility parking spot. Flat ground.“
