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
