Reviews
This cafe easily became my favorite spot in Austin. Hip and modern interior and real good coffee! I had nice and chill Saturday morning 😎
The ambience is great and it’s an amazing cafe. I had their speciality pour over coffees - in my honest opinion it wasn’t the best.
They use pour over machines which could impact the taste of the coffee. I understand the need to be efficient behind the bar and while it justifies the core business need, it does not meet or match the customer experience and value that I would hope for from speciality coffee pour overs. I felt my coffees were under extracted and sour. Their milk based drinks are good though. I hope they start serving hand made pour overs so customers can fully experience all the amazing coffee they have.
Greater Goods are championing and nurturing the specialty coffee scene in Austin, which I hugely appreciate! They really care about coffee, and provide best in class specialty coffee, paying attention to detail at every aspect of the process, from reverse osmosis filtered water, to a wide range of SCA 80+ scored coffees from different regions and varietals, lightly roasted and served as pour overs, cold brews and a variety of espresso drinks. On top of all that, they have a dedicated training space to help educate the public (and their own baristas) on really smelling and tasting the differences between all of those amazing coffees, offering reasonably priced taste development classes and cupping exercises. Highly recommend for anyone who really wants to taste the flavours of specialty coffee!
Great coffee, cool ambiance. There are really cool coffee bags to take home if you're into good coffee. Ample parking spots available as well.
The only drawback is that it is really crowded and service can be slow at times.
Such an awesome coffee shop! The vibes sick, incredible lighting & even better coffee. Staff was super friendly and I will for sure be back.
So busy! I'd planned to sit an enjoy a cup of coffee "for here" but couldn't find a parking spot or a table, so instead I ordered our coffees to-go while my fiance waited in the car. I suppose that's a testament to the great coffee + pastries! I enjoyed both, and would make this my go-to spot if I were a local.
First time at the Greater Goods Coffee Roaster and my experience was great! We ordered a hot latte and a brewed coffee - both were good and their latte art was impeccable.
We got to the coffee shop on a Saturday afternoon. It was super busy but we were able to find a seat and the wait time was not long at all although there was a line in front of the counter.
We spent about 2 hours in the store working in our laptop. It was comfy but sometimes it gets a little loud. Overall 4/5. Coffee 4/5. Interior 3/5.
Awesome spot! Roasting, great coffee, brewing gear, and even classes are offered here. I would highly recommend it. They serve the coffee on small boards and even give you mineral water to go with the espresso. Really nice touch and I’ll be sure to come back if I’m in the Austin area in the future.
