Best coffee in Austin! more

Delicious cuvée coffee and a friendly downtown vibe - try their specialty French pressed coffees! more

I have been going to Caffe Medici for about six months now, it's only been open a year and a half, and it is hands down THE BEST coffehouse in austin. Not only are the baristas trained and enthusiastic about their product, but they are downright friendly. Coming to a coffehouse of this caliber can be intimidating for those not well versed in the coffee world, but the staff is more than willing to share their knowledge and passion with you, with absolutely NO pretension. I didn't know this was possible to find in Austin, none of this ""I'm cooler/hipper than you"" attitude. They love their coffee and they love to share it with everyone. The space is well planned out, plenty of seating on chairs or couches, jazz softly playing in the background, and cozy tables right off the street in the front.\r \r When you walk in, the first thing you notice is their Ferrari looking espresso machine, and it only gets better from there. Now, if you'll excuse me, my double cappuccino is ready. Pros: Great french press coffee, always fresh beans, awesome staff, best espresso Cons: parking is tight more

Austin has no short of coffee shops & espresso bars, but there are few places in this city that take espresso as seriously as Caffe Medici. The well trained pull outstanding shots of espresso and are very knowledgeable about all things espresso and coffee related. Plus, their regular coffee is all made with a French Press ? no icky drip coffee available. Perhaps as importantly, they are the nicest staff in the entire city. They seem to really enjoy what they?re doing and want the customers to feel welcome and free to ask questions. I was beginning to think there was some rule in Austin that said baristas had to be rude and snippy until Caffe Medici opened. This is truly the best coffee shop in our entire city. Pros: Knowledgeable baristas, great espresso, great service more
