Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in The Infatuation Austin, Austin Chronicle, and Austin American-Statesman. Updated September 2026.
Desnudo Coffee: East Austin
Infatuation's top coffee pick. A tiny family trailer at Webberville Food Truck Park. The brown sugar miso latte is the signature drink.
Proud Mary Coffee · Zilker
Infatuation pick. Australian-born cafe on a busy South Lamar corner. One of the single best places in town to people-watch over drip or espresso.
Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors Cafe & Roastery · East Austin
Infatuation pick. Industrial, plant-filled East Side haven for espresso devotees. Technically rigorous pulls.
Mozart's Coffee Roasters · Tarrytown
An Austin original since 1993 with on-site roasting and a sprawling multi-level deck over Lake Austin. The waterfront setting is the main event, drawing a steady stream of laptop workers, first dates, and tourists watching the boats. A famous case of house-made cheesecakes and pastries pairs with the drip and espresso, and the holiday light show turns it into a seasonal destination.
Radio Coffee & Beer · South Austin
A coffee-bar-and-venue hybrid on Manchaca pouring quality espresso by day and craft beer into the night. The sprawling patio, resident Veracruz taco truck, and near-nightly live music make it a genuine community gathering spot rather than a quick-coffee stop. Now spread across three locations, it captures the South Austin ideal of a place that works equally well for a morning latte or a late-evening pint.
