Coffee is just delicious, you can tell this one is really handcrafted. It may take a little longer than any other coffee store when preparing your order but believe me, it is worth it. Breakfast tacos right outside the patio are pretty good

Went twice during my weekend vacation. The nitro cold brew is great and the option for Veracruz breakfast tacos made an amazing pairing. Coming from out of state it was strange to get cold brew without ice but I didnt miss it. Truly a very cool space with tons of outdoor seating and great coffee!

This was my second time at Radio Coffee and it was even better than the last time! The owners have truly built something special; I love their outside area with the seemingly unlimited amount of seating, fairy lights strung above and just the overall vibe that I get here. The staff are super cool which is always the first thing I take note of, I appreciate when someone has great people skills.Parking isn’t too bad, they have space out front, as well as behind the building. However, on really busy nights, prepare to find street parking.The drinks? 10/10. I’m really picky when it comes to mixed drinks and the bartenders and Radio Coffee definitely understood the assignment; every drink I’ve had here tasted amazing and was 100% on point.It was in the high 90’s when we went but luckily there are tons of fans spraying mist everywhere, it was AMAZING.Honey Made played for a couple of hours on the stage outside and it really tied the experience together nicely for me. Radio Coffee is definitely somewhere I’m excited to visit again.

Great working/relaxing/meeting spot. Tons of outdoor seating. Can’t speak to how many plugs there are though. Iced Americano was delish - they definitely know what they’re doing.

This place gets 4,7 stars on my book. Not a full 5 because it is kinda pricey, but I love the ambience and style.Got a cappuccino on 9/3 in the afternoon.Got a pitcher of mimosa on 9/1 at 8 pm. It was a trivia night and the place was packed.

I love, love, love this place. This is where I go if I wanted to cool off and enjoy a beautiful garden on a sunny day. Great outdoor seating (packed during decent+ weather so grab your seats fast!) and dog friendly. The garden just makes me instantly relaxed and takes off 50%+ of my stress automatically. Perfect for outdoor reading, working, people (and dog) watching, business and casual meetings, and first (or 100th) dates! Speaking of which, I had the best first date of my life here, so I am biased in saying this is my favorite Austin coffee place :D I always get the iced almond or iced oat latte.

Came in for talent show. I am a tea drinker had the jasmine green tea with honey. Nice little coffee shop with lots of outdoor seating some covered and open. There are lots of drinks to choose from. I would definitely recommend this spot if you like to hang with friemds an enjoy the outdoor with coffee or drinks. We most certainly enjoyed the music.

Love this place!!! Tacos and coffee, who wouldnt?! It is a great location with tons of out door seating for the beautiful summer days. Usually live music and foods trucks. Great place to catch up or do some homework.

Great atmosphere and interesting selection of food from the trailers in the yard. The wait on food was kinda insane with 35 to 40 minutes from each trailer - not Radio Coffees fault. Ordering drinks was much faster with easy pick-up at the bar. Silly rule of still wearing masks outside which thankfully most people ignored.

I LOVE their monthly comedy shows featuring Trace Holt and Leo Garcia!!!! Their coffee is absolutely fantastic and the beers on tap selection is superb.

The coffee was okay, the mocha didnt really have the right taste. The atmosphere was interesting and the staff were nice.

Review №14

I stopped here multiple times on my visit to Austin. The coffee and pastry was great for take out on the go. Staff was friendly and helpful in offering suggestions when what I ordered was not available. We went back at night and got tacos and chips from one of the food trucks, and enjoyed margaritas on the patio. Ambiance both in and outside is great. Cant wait to go back!

Great coffee, live music & events, food trucks, cocktails… this place is a gem. It has such an inviting patio that makes you feel like you can step out of the city life and escape for a bit. Also, my barista was Annalee and she was a complete sweetheart and made an excellent Cortado.

Great stop for coffee and drinks. bonus points for the food trucks

Review №17

Great Place, Great Vibe, Great Music!We ordered the electric Jellyfish, 512 IPA, lemomdrop, sotor river rita and cuba libre. The cocktails were strong and well mixed. Service was quick once you ordered the drink. But it was taking quite some time for order to get accepted if you order it online from the table or there was a long long queue if you order in person. The food-truck took more than 1.5 hour to get our orders ready. (No fault of radio bar) There are very few options for vegetarians or vegans at this place. I would suggest order ahead if you plan to eat their or eat somewhere else and then visit Radio to chill. It could get difficult to grab table as it does get crowded and people tend to sit for longer hours. The place is pet friendly and parts of it is smoke friendly too (or it looked like that).Bear in mind while sitting outside you may encounter lots of flies.

Awesome spicy prickly pear Margarita!! Lovely ambiance on the outdoor patio - not too crowded on the Saturday evening we went. Will definitely be back!

Review №19

Really relaxing lounge coffee house, fast service, and they serve mixed drinks and beer. A little busy but I would expect so because of how delicious their iced mochas are. Dog friendly and a lot of shade. 10 out of 10!

One of the best places to spend a weeknight. They have live music, trivia, or comedy nights multiple times a week, as well as a large accommodating patio. Parking becomes scarce due to demand at times.

The outdoor space is outstanding. I love the coffee as much as I love the people watching. Great place to just watch South Austin.And super staff!

Review №22

Man I usually love this place but when you can’t even make one latte in a span of 20 mins, to the point that I have to ask for my money back. If your coffee machine is messed up put a out of order sign on it. Don’t try and spend 20 minutes hoping that it works, just tell your customers that it’s not working. Fix it and you’re back in business. Tons of better coffee bars that actually maintain there machines around here. Guess it was just a matter of time that quality would dip here.

Review №23

Love that this place has so much wide open space. Great vibe with fast WiFi and awesome coffee. Downside— parking is so hard, stressful and scarce. I received a note on my car that said “stop parking like a dick” which I found to be tasteless.

Great employees. Paul and Brandon were so nice giving advice and busting our table.Heard that they really care about their coffee. Have to try some next time.

Looking to meet up with people either in the morning for casual coffee or at night for a few drinks? Radio is perfect for both and has plenty of seating and food truck options.

The service is excellent! This place is always super busy and the staff works very hard to make sure the customer is taken care of. That being said I repeat this place is always crowded. Often hard to get a seat inside.

Review №32

Loved this place for years as a local, now they are gouging locals with beer prices in the $8-10 range for local brews. If there was a reason for such high prices (COVID?) they should post that on website. They have the highest prices in the south Austin area. Sad to see. I hope they decide to make a change.

Review №40

I absolutely love radio. Its a great place to have a beer, a coffee, or any other cafe drink. Its a great place to bring your dogs. Or to meet up with friends. They have live music and occasionally a local market in the parking lot. Theres usually decent parking except for peak times. The food trucks are bomb.I will say though, the WiFi is absolute garbage. It is my one and only complaint. You will constantly be disconnected no matter what your device. Even when you are connected half the time it will tell you theres no internet access. If you want to study or get work done, I will sadly have to suggest somewhere else.

Solid hangout spot. Wide variety of drinks and fun staff, parking is a bit rough but because of the location it cant really be helped. Highly recommend the frozen lavender lemonade drink.

Review №46

The place looks good, it has a great ambiance. However they didnt have a lot of the beers listed. They also have a food truck where the food is amazingly good. When you get there the first time you need a little bit more of instructions. Order food in the truck outside, order drinks in the inside. Good for sharing drinks and chill.

Review №48

I could stay here for hours.Vanilla cappuccino smooth like Al Pacino.Tacos. Just...you owe it to yourself to eat these tacos.And enough beer to make you grin ear to ear!Seriously though, they just dont come around like Radio does. Plenty of outdoor seating, indoor too! Easy to chill inside with coffee and work, or enjoy outside with friends and puppies!

Hazelnut latte was pretty good. Could use more indoor seating but some of the outdoor seating gets relief from misting fans. Parking situation isn’t great but there is additional dirt lot parking behind the building.

Review №51

Great location for food, coffee, beer, and live music. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating and lovely gardens. I know this place can get super busy for lunch and the wait can be around an hour or more so get there early. There are large rows of picnic tables outside if you go with a larger group of people. Parking is always difficult but worth the walk if you have to park down the street.

Review №52

Its hard to find a true cafe+bar in Austin (vs cafe with beer, or bar with some coffee). Radio fills that niche very well! Friendly, timely service. :)

My
Review №53

My girlfriend and I really enjoy the coffee and the atmosphere! The only thing is that it seems really overpriced. That’s not just from a cheapskate perspective... I really don’t mind paying more for better coffee. It’s just that it was $16 for two smalls, and then one of them was half full. This kinda happens really often too. Like I said, love radio coffee.. but don’t get the whipped cream, 🤷🏽‍♂️

Review №54

Great coffee, great outdoor seating, I like the refillable water option inside because ya girl can down water like nobody’s business, especially somewhere as hot as Austin. I feel like it was a good spot for the dogs too. And if you’re feeling hungry they’ve got a great taco truck there as well.

Review №56

Amazing coffee and bar! I love the vibe inside and the outsides have fantastic seating on summer evenings! The cold brew is great and they have an amazing draft collection. Definitely a cool place to hang out with friends or get some work done. There is plenty of parking all around, and the seating is shared with other food trucks.

Ive driven past this place a 1000 times on the way and returning from work. Never thought much about it since Im in zombie mode on my commute but a friend and I wandered in today. I must say they had a great selection of drinks both alcoholic and non. Food trucks out back and plenty of outdoor seating with ample elbow room. QR codes at every table allow you to order from your table. It was a great atmosphere and excellent service.

Love the vibe; love the coffee! The staff are always friendly and I enjoy seeing the care they have for their workspace. You can often catch them watering the plants in the morning. The food trucks on the property take a little waiting, but they are delicious! I have not yet had the opportunity to participate in the events or alcohol yet - will report back on those!

Review №61

Amazing, amazing, amazing!It’s such a beautiful atmosphere! I really loved the beer on tap. The food truck nearby served such yummy tacos! Some of the best I’ve tried in the area. The mural is beautiful and the surrounding plants are so cute. I highly recommend this place for a fun, relaxing setting.

I’m just a gal who enjoys doing work outside the home, in a chill setting. This definitely has a wonderful atmosphere to enjoy the weather & a brew, bUT the music was a bit much. It’s pretty loud & is constantly changing genre? Difficult for me to drop in & get work done.

Review №63

Such a wonderful hangout. The ambience and the crowd, just beautiful. Good coffee. Love the tacos, I would even go as far as saying that these are the best tacos I’ve had so far. Not very expensive and a great place to chill. Let’s not forget, it’s pet friendly.

Review №64

Radio just has a good vibe. They are always busy so youll pretty much never get a seat inside. The patio is heated outside and its really warm and cozy. Veracruz tacos are on site, but indoors they offer a few pastries, too. Its a little more expensive than Starbucks, but you get that back in the experience of being there and in a good coffee. Plus, its a locally owned stop and the employees are great.

Bo
Review №65

Always a nice time. They have delish HOT coffee and even Jamo if you need a shot. Order tacos from Veracruz (online) and pick up in the courtyard. Then grab a table outside (dog friendly)... Under the trees, great people watching.

As we eat and drink our way across South Austin we started out today with a breakfast stop at Radio Coffee bar. A great place to chill and hang outside to enjoy our cups of joe, people and dog watch and visit the little outdoor market. Super kid friendly too. We also visited the taco truck which I will review separately. Service was excellent, we all enjoyed our drinks and we loved the venue.

Came here for Bluegrass night on Mondays, really enjoyed the outdoor space. Great atmosphere, tons of seating all around the outside, but definitely a very popular and busy spot on nights like this. Had a decent selection of beer, most around $6. Couple of food trucks out back with good food. Came back for coffee the next day, the drip coffee was okay, not my favorite. But service is friendly, and will come back for sure.
