Quaint coffee shop that offers various types of food and smoothies. Great vegan/vegetarian selection of food..They even serve alcohol which is an interesting take. If your really into coffee shop culture than this might not appeal to your taste. Its not really a coffee shop more of a sandwich shop that serves coffee but I get why they call themselves that.The staff is friendly and the food is good. My pizza was a bit burnt and tasteless but edible and nothing to complain about. Not a fan of the coffee either but Ill go back and try something different.Its a great little place and worth the 5 stars and yes Ill be back! 😊

Bomb food and drink, definitely give this place a visit! Ive had the dirty chai and a lavender latte, breakfast tacos, and a few other treats. There is also beer on top with some quality local options!The inside is a bit eclectic and urban, it is such a comfortable setting to sit and chat, read, or work. I also enjoy the spacious outdoor patio tables. The staff are top notch!!

We loved their house blend espresso in the latte. One of the places that Ive seen offer pour over experiences with a wide variety of beans to choose from and various pour over methods. The quinoa bowl and caprese were good as well. Highly recommend if you work remotely. They have space and the fuel (food, coffee etc) to get you through the day.

I don’t ever write reviews because I get that things can’t always be perfect. But this is theee saddest sandwich I’ve ever seen. MAYBE 1oz of turkey, if that. Do better please! Two stars only bc the bread was delish.

I love to support local businesses that appreciate their customers and good food. We were in the area and stopped in. I would definitely recommend.

Second time ordering out from this place, both times I was hoping that BB’s would add more to the Açaí Bowl but it seems like they only use 2 Tablespoons of Açaí. What looks like dressing and not the actual ice cream. From viewing the pictures of Açaí Bowl from other people pictures, ordering in it seems like you get what you pay for. Ordering out, I pay $9 a bowl for some skimpy açaí bowl that is very sparse. Looks like this will be the last time I order from Barley Bean.In the pictures, the circle shows the bottom of the bowl and nothing but granola with the açaí dressing. The bowl itself is not full at all or even half but more like a little layer.At first, I was like maybe next time it will be different but this time it’s still the same. Anyways, I should’ve been charge at least $4 for barely anything!

...could this be the best coffeeshop in Austin? Given, I ordered hot chocolate and a crossaint, decidedly NOT coffee, but it all was absolutely delicious! Great venue, good location right on the main drag, good prices too. All around a classic coffeeshop!

Baristas were polite & friendly, interior is stylish, comfy and nicely laid out. Outlets are abundant and WiFi is fast. Vegan tacos were delicious and the hazelnut latte even more so. What more does a person need from a coffee shop in the 21st century?

This is a great neighborhood spot to hang out and work or visit with some friends. The brunch on the weekends has a special menu including the Croissant French Toast- soooo yummy you will come back just for that.Whoever does the music has a great sense of history and milestone music with classic RB to A Tribe Called Quest playing at just the right level that you can work and converse but still enjoy.It has all the coffee drinks you could want and a decent selection of craft beers and wines. Breakfast menu is proper!!

Great service and amazing coffees. Try the ice lavander vanilla if you havent already.

Came here on a Tuesday evening was pretty busy.People were working on laptops. Some were tutoring, seemed to be the spot to go after college to study.They served happy hour till 7I shared a pizza with a girl friend.The pizza was pretty much just dough and barely any sauce. Wish there was more cheese too. I would ask for these extras next time.It took about 25 min to get.So if youre not in a rush its a pretty cool hangout.

LOVE THIS PLACE. Minus one star cause they still use straws.

Such a lovely place! Great food! Went here with a picky eater and they ordered the pizza, said it was the best they ever had.

Their golden Latte is amazing! @estelle.gaither

I absolutely love this place. Not only the service is amazing, thanks to John, but the drinks and food is amazing!!! Highly recommend this spot to everyone that wants to chill and sip on some tasty beverages and food 🙏🏼💯

We went for coffee and stayed for breakfast. Cute coffee spot with a cozy feel, but they also have beer on tap, wine, and pizzas as well! The draft cold brew is good, not too sweet.

Nice atmosphere to hang out.Staff is very nice

Fantastic food and great atmosphere. A perfect place to work for a few hours with lots of outlets.

Have driven past this place a ton, finally went in today. It’s really nice inside, they have a huge assortment of food- from breakfast, salads, smoothies, paninis, wraps and soups. Unfortunately we didn’t order their specialty, Pizza. Another patron raves about the pizza, I ordered the turkey and avocado panini and it was Delicious. Coffee was fresh and tasty, the staff is awesome- super attentive, they know customers by name, looks like they really do care about service.The only bad thing is parking, super limited, this place is a good spot to check out.

Delicious iced coffee! New favorite spot

This shop has a wonderful, open atmosphere and decent coffee. The latte was a little too weak and milky for my taste, but it might be better with an extra shot of espresso.

Greeeeat place, especially for brunch. Great coffee, drinks, beer selection, and food. The staff is great, inside /outside area, and good location.You can even buy a pack of smokesParking is a little limited

I drove over 120 miles to visit some new friends this past weekend. This was the place they decided on. We were there for about an hour and a half.A couple of us got there early enough to get in on the end of brunch. I got the croissant sandwich with eggs, bacon, and cheddar with a cappuccino. My friend got a pizza to share and another got a calzone (sorry, no pic.)The sandwich was super flaky, the bacon was nice and chewy, the cheese was appropriately gooey... That was a tasty sammich!The pizza looked amazing, too. It must have been because the leftovers went in a box to go, as did the remainder of the calzone.Parking looked like it could be a bit iffy on busy days, but I lucked out and got one right by the entrance.The location was easy to find, which was really helpful for an out-of-towner.The staff that I got to speak to were pleasant and helpful.If it happens we plan another meet-up I would happily go back. They had a good selection of yummy sounding foods, beer, and coffee, and I felt like I got a decent meal for a decent price at a nice place to visit.

Pour over coffee.. loved it. Macchiato. Amazing. Ambience. Relaxing. In all, very nice coffee place

We were visiting Austin for the weekend and on our way out were looking for a good cup of coffee and a solid breakfast sandwich. Barley Bean provided two good cups of coffee, specifically a lavender vanilla latte and a caramel latte. So I definitely say show up for the coffee, but don’t waste your money on the breakfast. We ordered the avocado toast and the sandwich #1. All breakfast items come with scrambled eggs, but these scrambled eggs are not fresh eggs. They’re the scrambled egg you find at a Hampton Inn or LaQuinta breakfast. The powdered eggs that when made look like yellow sponge bits. The sandwich #1 said eggs came with green peppers, the peppers aren’t mixed in with the egg and are cold. The salsa was really good and helped in eating the sandwich. I don’t like to waste food. The avocado toast, well, nothing fabulous. You can make a better avocado toast at home. Trust me. The meal wasn’t worth 30$, hence the two stars. But go for the coffee cause that was 5 stars.

Absolutely love this place! The staff is amazing! And the FOOD is phenomenal!! We come here at least 2-3 times a week! Definitely a cool,chill spot to check out! ( P.S don’t sit on our couch) jkjk! But really tho...😂

Loved this place. Smoothies are delicious, friendly staff and great atmosphere.

Just stopping in for a cup of house-roasted coffee, which is pretty darn good! Can’t speak for anything else, the beer selection looks decent, and the food menu looks yummy. Industrial feel, with some bottles of beer/wine on shelf for taking home.

Great space, okay menu selection, decent service and food quality.

Excellent coffee and good food too.

The food is to die for!! and the staff & the place are very lovely!

We stopped in here while on the way to Starbucks and are glad we came across this place instead. Great coffee, atmosphere, chill music, and a lot of great food/lunch/brunch options. Of course, since this is Austin it wouldnt be complete without a great selection of craft beer on tap. The house coffee was tasty and the service was great.

Went here for the first time the other day. I only got their drip coffee but it was delicious. I would definitely love to try their lattes another day. Also got the pumpkin bread and it was also yummy. It was more spiced than your average pumpkin bread but for me that was welcome. I can see myself coming here often to support a local business instead of waiting in line at Starbucks. They also have food here that lol forward to trying. The service was quick and friendly.

Missed a key part of my coffee order and the bowl of breakfast was a cup, and it was cold. Was takeout so didnt give them a chance to fix coffee. Wifes croissant was good.

Good coffee, maybe one of the best in Austin, very clean, friendly staff

Amazing cold brew and avocado toast 🤤🤤

Best breakfast taco Ive had in a long time! Great salsa, too. Also the latte was SO creamy (whole milk) and very tasty. Loved everything except for the rap music that was playing too loudly. Thankfully they have a patio. Highly recommend.

I tried Barley Bean for the first time yesterday and liked it so much that I came back today!I got the draft latte with vanilla & oat milk and an order of oatmeal my first time, and this morning I got an iced lavender vanilla latte w/ oat milk and another order of the oatmeal. Both coffees were delicious, but the lavender vanilla was especially good. The oatmeal is great, nice and thick and topped with fresh berries and a really tasty almond crunch. On top of good food/drink, the staff was polite and I got my order quickly. I will 100% be back! :)

Not bad for a quick cup.

Great cortado. Loved the atmosphere and the baristas are knowledgeable. Worth a stop.#travelformortals

Damn good food, soup, and chill music!Chey changes my day like eeeer time she makes me food. OBSESSED

Nice customer service veryFast and respectfull

Looove this place, so empty in the evenings, great food, nice QUIET music not the crazy live screaming and wailing bands playing like in other coffee shops in Austin. Dirty Chai and regular below 👌🏽has quite the spice so good. Staff is very friendly and kind.

Coffee,Pizzas, smoothies power bowls its all amazing!!also there is a patio to sit with my dog

Always friendly. I pick up from there often as an Uber Eats driver and appreciate their level of consistent customer service.I said Ild be back to try their Lavender Vanilla latte for my weakly coffee cheat day #anxietyproblems and grabbed a Breakfast wrap, very glad I did.

Nice place to stop in for some coffee, or a nice place to sit down and maybe play some board games with a group. Good coffee, great latte, good pizza/panini selection. Okay beer selection and a nice pick of wines as well. Friendly staff. What more could you want from a coffee place?

Great tacos and coffee

Good coffee but very awkward dine in vibe.

Love this place! My favorites are the avocado toast and the fat chimp smoothie!

Very nice cafe. Parking is in back. I only bought an ice brew and its delicious. Full coffee/ espresso bar with 1/2 and 1/2 and other condiments available. The menu looked really good I including a nice beer selection. It was also clean. The staff was really polite.

Went in for a quick cup of coffee. The gentleman that was up front was very nice and helpful. They had plenty of different flavors to choose from but not a lot of breakfast items. I got a breakfast taco and the turkey bacon was under cooked ( not crispy, very chewy). The coffee was a bit on the bitter side but was drinkable. Cute place though. I went early in the am...it might be better later in the day.****RESPONCE TO OWNER ****I can understand about the turkey bacon, just wasnt expected. And yes a bit dry, but nothing to terrible. Thank you for responding!

Its so great I hesitate to write a review... Dont want the place to be overrun. So ok, Ill share :))

I dont know why I gave this place 4 starts at first :) I really liked it, had a medium ice coffee here and it was delicious. I want to come back and try the breakfast croissant cause it looks really good. 5 starts as deserved ;)

Favorite cold brew in town. love this place!

One of my favorite coffee shops in town. Its always comfortable and welcoming and rarely too crowded that I cant find a table. The food is AMAZING and their happy hour prices make it that much better. The coffee is good, but a little heavy and intense for my taste...but everything else about this place draws me in and I end up ordering it anyway.***Reply to owner:The body is heavier than I like. And hella strong.

First time there...the hot chocolate with oat milk was great!

Love this local spot for coffee and breakfast or lunch. Great covered outdoor space, too.

One of the personal was not friendly and the other wasnt very informed about the ingredients of the foods they have. I googled vegan places and this came up and so I came here with friends but the options are not that great. Unbelievably they didnt have vegan cheese which is expected if youre in a small town but not in Austin. I like that its a quiet place and the space is pretty nice. I wish they had better vegan options and more friendly staff.Update: the owner was very nice and considered the review which makes me feel very good about the business.**Thank you for the offer, I didnt want any trouble for your employees. I would greatly appreciate if you just make your nice place more vegan friendly and its so easy to do that. Thanks for your response :)

Awesome folks run this place! Always a nice experience at this location. Smiling faces and kindness are always a great topper to whatever it is that I’ve ordered. Thanks y’all!

Minus 1 star because they only had one barista working on a Sunday morning around brunch time. But otherwise this place was super cute and great coffee, plus they were jamming 90s hip hop so what’s not to like about that

Food isnt very good and their smoothies arent healthy at all (they put frozen yogurt in them) but its a cute place to come and do work and have coffee. Their coffee has cute designs. Not my jam though.

I use to really like this place for a quick bite but the last few times Ive had to wait 15+ mins for a sandwich. Not only that, the prices are a little much. I get that it may be elite for a coffee place but its not that great.

Love Barley Bean! I come here weekly for coffee and breakfast. Can’t wait until they are safely open and I can dine in again.

Great atmosphere, coffee and food!!

Great atmosphere and selection of coffee and beer. Had the brand new Cold Fashioned coffee and really enjoyed it.

Lots of interesting food choices: breakfast, sandwiches, salads etc. in addition to the great coffee & tea selection.

The pizza was fantastic

The best place for breakfast/lunch and very relaxing! Staff is super friendly. Food and drinks are amazing! Great atmosphere!

Nice clean place. Good ambience. Maybe because I am from a different generation, I found that the server wasn’t welcoming. Excelente coffee. Latte could be a little stronger. Difficult finding where to park.

Employees were friendly and knowledgeable, coffee was great, clean energy smoothie super tasty and potato egg taco was really good. Couch is comfy and overall great experience. And kombucha on tap was the best I’ve ever had! Good work!

This place has good coffee. And great food. The tables are large enough for board games. I recommend the calzone.

I want to like this place more, but just seems to fall short. Today I ordered a greek chicken panini and it came without the spinach and hummus. Wish they had more healthy options. Really cute place, great ambiance but the food just seems to fall short.

Plenty of options from coffee, tea, smoothies, beer w/ vegan options. Love this place for early mornings or evenings wind down

Great quiet place to work! Good coffee too.

Great place to work or meet. Its generally quiet, great wifi, and two large tables to meet with groups of up to 6. The owner is here often, which keeps it clean and the food fresh! Wait, dont come here. Go to Radio Coffee instead so it doesnt get too packed at the Bean

Weve been to this location three times. The first time we went, it was not very good. It had just opened so we chalked it up to the fact that they were all new employees. Every time we have gone, they have gotten our orders wrong-it truly seems like the employees are flailing. They dont seem to be able to communicate orders to the kitchen and get the food out when it is hot. There was foil in my avocado toast and the turkey bacon seemed to be just warmed, not cooked. Despite their vast menu with fairly high prices, the ingredients seem to be store bought. We were really excited for Barely Bean coming into our neighborhood, and I hope they can make improvements and fulfill their obvious potential.

Great coffee Ive heard good things about their food too!

Friendly staff, nice spot to chill, nitro cold brew was a bit sour

Great coffee every time!

Awesome place with great Austin vibe! Try the weekend pork tacos, they are amazing.

They got rid of their vegetarian menu. Coffee is still fine but nothing to go out of your way for. Too bad. I used to really like this place.

I had the feel better tea and it was amazing.

Clean, open, generic atmophere...a little industrial. Latte a little weak, and my companion did not care for the daily coffee (light roast) at all. We both felt that the baristas were very flat, unwelcoming and deadpan. It seemed like they felt helping us was an annoying favor. Other coffee shops that I far prefer on all fronts.

Love this place! The pizza is great the calzones and paninis are great. Even the salad was delicious. And all the coffee and beer you can drink. So good!

Love the place, the dont have gluten free not do they have a lot of options for vegans. But this is a cute, nice place

Amazing food and great service. Owner is all about local sourcing and even roasts his own coffee.

Food was horrible and cold. And they put paper on the bottom of the food tray, then put food on top so everytime you cut a piece of food you get paper with it too. I spent $20 on a cold omelette and oj, ridiculous!

Compared to the Starbucks in the area, Barley Bean has shorter lines, better prices, better selection, and better music.

Cool atmosphere with a lot of beverage and food options

Decent place, coffee was good service was acceptable. Being here on vacation from the North West it has proven very difficulty to find a good place for coffee just about anywhere in Texas.

The food has been great every time Ive been and its a really neat little place with great options. Ive docked a star because of the experience had by a good friend of mine in which he was discriminated against.

My wife had been trying to drag me here for months. I gave in, got a draft heffe (cannot remember the name but the beer list was long), and the meat lovers pizza. 10/10 we are coming back.

Great little place to grab something to eat or drink, hang out, and not break the bank.

My fella and I had lunch here and we are so glad we gave it a try. I had the caprese panini and my guy had the turkey and avocado panini. Holy panini heaven, they were so so tasty. The bread was soft and delectable. The filling was rich and tasty. All the ingredients tasted like were fresh. It was a great tasty experience. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I look forward to trying more things off their menu.

Great atmosphere, amazing food and great customer service

I gave it 2 stars because the staff was fairly friendly and accommodating and the smoothies were ‘ok.’ Other than that, it really was not a good experience. There was very limited parking. Upon walking in the dining area it felt cold and too open. Not very welcoming. First time here and wasn’t sure how it worked but was finally given some direction. The menu looked alright, but when we got our food it was seriously hardly worth eating. Actually we didn’t eat it, even though we were starving! The sandwiches were thick slices of not very tasty bread and MAYBE 2 small round slices of cheese and a very small bit of turkey in one corner of the sandwich. The other sandwich was a caprese with 2 thin slices of tomato and 2 dots of cheese. They were so bare! We ate the contents and threw the bread away. The soup of the day was a type of gespacho that we took one sip of and tossed. Bland. We also expected an extensive selection of drinks and only saw a small cooler off to the side. We called a few hours later and was told there was no manager but someone would call us back. Nothing. Driven by here several times and was excited to try it. Very disappointed. Maybe hit it on a bad day but not sure if worth giving another shot.

Great coffee and great food choices.

Clean place, a bit short on breakfast goodies, nice service.

My go to. Consistently great coffee and customer service.

Good pour over and beer selection, great place to meet a few friends.
