Okay, I have nothing but GREAT things to say about Simona’s. So it is inside of Colton House so don’t get confused. There is a parking garage right next to the entrance of Simona’s. Everything about this place is a cozy aesthetic dream! The downstairs where the coffee shop is, is light and has great big windows of the gorgeous outside pool area. The upstairs area is a bit cozier and darker to curl up with a good book. The food truck was so delicious, it was very filling! I will 100% be back to do some reading in this lovely place (:

A very good place for drinks and great atmosphere for those who want to work.

Cute spot for sinks. Great outdoor area and several areas within the hotel to enjoy your cocktails.

Super friendly gals and people here when I came for for meet up which was sadly was already when I arrived. On the other hand the customer and made me feel like family :) Will definitely keep in touch with them to use the upstairs meeting room for events here as well as the outdoor patio when it's warmer as well as using their Wi-Fi here coffee here alcoholic beverages here. Is connected to the hotel which also connects to a elevator in the parking lot which is tricky to get to but still will validate your parking and then you want to take the elevator up stairs or otherwise you have to go up the stairs to get to the library With funky music playing in the background this is a perfect spot with high speed Wi-Fi and handicap accessible to get away to get work done and or stay for awhile. :) Also lots of call backs to Austin culture over the year here.

In my opinion the best coffee shop to work at in Austin. So much seating options both inside and outside and the validated parking garage so I never have to worry about fighting for a spot. I wish their coffee was better, but I still come back for the vibes

Great staff, delicious food, and awesome vibes/ atmosphere

Fabulous ambience and service, and you have to order one of their giant almond croissants, toasted extra crunchy…so good ….and their upstairs is like a British gentleman’s club—in the very best way!

While exploring Austin, we stopped by Simona’s Coffee + Cocktails, tucked inside the stylish Colton House Hotel on South Congress. What a vibe! The space blends mid-century design with cozy modern touches think velvet seating, warm lighting, and inviting nooks that make you want to linger awhile. We grabbed an iced coffee and tea, then found a quiet spot on the terrace to relax. The outdoor seating is shaded and peaceful, perfect for catching up with friends or just people-watching with a cool drink in hand. Indoors, the decor feels like a cross between a boutique lounge and an artist’s studio refined but not fussy. If you’re looking for a chill place to start your day or wind down in the evening, Simona’s is the spot. They serve both craft cocktails and specialty coffee, so whether you’re a latte lover or a cocktail enthusiast, you’ll feel right at home. Don’t forget to explore the hotel’s art-filled lobby and take a few shots around the terrace the natural light is perfect for photos!

Simona is such a neighborhood treasure. The coffee is always spot-on, the cocktails are creative, and the space has that perfect mix of cozy and stylish that makes you want to linger. Simona also has an undercover garage. I think it's up to 4 hours of free parking.

Love everything about this place! Bartenders were extremely friendly and welcoming, and drinks were incredible. Strikes the perfect balance of classy cocktail bar and cozy coffee shop.

Went for an evening coffee and to my surprise, it’s probably one of the closest places/lounges in Austin. Loved the ambience and outdoor patio!

Simona’s is one of my favorite hotel bars in Austin! I love their coffee + cocktail concept and the store is just super cute and photo worthy. They have a safe and indoor parking lot outside of the shop. The store is beautifully designed and it’s generally not too noisy and good for both working and gatherings. I particularly love to chill on their outdoor patio (by the poolside) when the weather is nice. Their coffee is great, and the bar has a lot of cocktail options as well. If you need some small bites, there’s also a local food truck outside of the bar. You could simple place your order by scanning the QR code presented on each table. I’ve tried there queso and chips and they were pretty good.

This coffee shop is a hidden gem. It’s cute and luxe looking. It’s a great place to do work, the music is not loud and there is a lot of space and variety of seating. There are even nice spaces outside. I got a latte with their homemade vanilla syrup and a blueberry muffin. The coffee was good and the muffin was excellent and big.

This place is tricky to find so follow these directions: the driveway to get to the parking deck is to the left of the hotel front. Drive all the way to the end of the building to get to the parking garage entrance, park immediately after you go through the parking gate. The two glass doors next to the parking gate are the entrance to Simona’s. You’re welcome! Be sure to bring your parking ticket in because they validate for 4 hours. I met a friend here for happy hour recently (Christmas 2022) after reading reviews online. Unfortunately they DO NOT HAVE HAPPY HOUR DRINK SPECIALS anymore. We each had a cocktail and a glass of wine and both were good. They have a small pastry case and a refrigerator with premade sandwiches. We were told there’s a food truck outside usually too, but it wasn’t open the day we were there. They have a cute outdoor space that will be awesome when the spring weather arrives. Since I got lost trying to find the coffee shop I took a nice walking tour of the Colton Hotel. It’s super cute!!

Really great hidden gem in south Austin for coffee and cocktails. Coffee is great, large inside and outside area with more room upstairs. They will validate your parking if you do into the garage. They also have since snafu snacks of you need food asap. Cannot wait to go for drinks!

Beautiful cafe. Bougie furniture. A lot of places to work. A lot of plug points. Free parking in the garage if you buy something. Yummy buttery & crispy butter croissants. Also saw some vegan ice cream options. Had a good time today. Got some good work done.

Love! Great new SoCo coffee shop located inside the Colton House Hotel. The decor is very esthetic, big comfy couches, beautiful fixtures, plenty of (fake) plants. A good amount of seating but the tables are a bit small for 2 laptops. They do have a large patio with outdoor lounge and table/chair seating, with fans and heaters. I did see a dog inside so seems dog friendly! They validate parking in the hotel garage for up to 4 hours. I've been on a tea kick so no coffee review here - but they do have Hugo tea and a lovely Jasmine green with the full pearls. But let's talk about the cookie. I had one of the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had here. It was chocolate and brown sugar heavy, soft and gooey. I'd come back just for the cookies!!

One of my favorite little spots in Austin! The staff is amazing, special shoutout to Vaughn, the ambiance is so nice, and the drinks are phenomenal. I love their coffee, chai, but particularly, I always come here for their espresso cocktails, particularly their carajillos. To. Die. For.

I’ve been here twice now and both times not only were the baristas super helpful and kind… they made one hell of a coffee. Literally coffee that’ll start your day off right !!<3 I got a signature drink with fig in it and it’s so good!

Matcha is not good like shown in the photos. I paid almost 10 dollars for a matcha that looks like milk. Overpriced a deceiving for what you get. Great atmosphere!!
