Spokesman - Highland

This place is great! I love both locations, but this is my favorite. Like I said before they make a great Espresso and Many other items. Holden, Bert... love those guys. The girl at night,sorry I don't know her name, but she made my first and it was the best Espresso ever! Perfect Crema, temp taste all a 10. It's cozy and have plenty of options on beer 🍺 as well as food and grab and go's. They have done a great job with the Highland area. Cheers 🤙

This place has such a sweet vibe! Great music and delicious coffee. There's a little art piece where they used the camera above the cashier as an eye patch for one of the characters that's very fun. Definitely recommend this place.

I had a great experience here today, thanks to Miguel! He recommended the non-caffeinated Scarlett tea, which was a highlight-it had a perfect balance of tangy notes and a lovely flowery aroma. The atmosphere is unique and high-energy, making it a cool spot to get some work done while watching the climbers. Miguel's friendly service and great drink recommendation made the visit even better. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

Beautifully decorated coffee shop. The walls feel like you're stepping into a doodle. Coffee is fantastic. One of the best roasters in the city. Very involved in with the community. Hosting markets and small events like book clubs and speed dating. Always something cool playing on the projector upstairs. The music always suits the Barista working and I always find myself shazaming tunes here.

The coffee and atmosphere are impeccable. One small nitpick is that every time I come in, I say "Hi, how are you?" And only once did the barista say it back. I'm a barista myself, it's not hard to be polite. Giving 5 stars anyway, who knows, maybe they just think I'm whack lol. Maybe the coldness is earned.

I got the Honey Bear Latte and oh my gosh it was everything!!! So smooth and delicious! My husband got a double espresso and said it was smooth and delicious! Vibe of the place was great as well.

Really fun coffee shop with phenomenal staff. Even with the most vague description ever ("I want something sweet, not that sweet, but also something new"), our barista worked magic! She took the time to walk us through options and was kind to everyone we saw during our study session. The drinks were great (and well-priced, too)! Highly recommend this spot.

I stumbled upon this coffee shop and really enjoyed it! It has a chic vibe and wasn’t overly crowded, making it a great spot for a little work. My only suggestion would be to offer more milk options, as they don’t currently have nonfat milk, which would be helpful for those with dietary restrictions.

Vibe- This is a nice coffee shop with seating outside and inside. There’s very cool art all around on the walls! Customer service- great! Food/drinks- I got a matcha with lavender and it was good :) Parking- There’s plenty of spots in the lot

I came here due to Austinites 101 Passport. This is my first passport visit and the experience has been really good. This is very nice place with plenty of parking as its same complex with other venues. The staff is very friendly and coffee was great. I will visit this place again.

the coolest cafe in north Austin; period! This place is all painted in cool graffiti and murals, and has lots of indoor seating for you to sit, enjoy your coffee, and observe the beautiful art. Lots of indoor seating and outdoor seating available, with plenty of parking space. Baristas were kind and coffee was perfect. Definitely try their cold brew or latte.

Happy to visit this Northern spokesman coffee after enjoying the one in South Austin. Thrilled they continued the graffiti art style I loved so much in the other location. This spot had an upstairs and is adjacent to a climbing place and a brewery, making for a whole day of fun. There's plenty of street parking beyond the lot.

Love the vibe of this coffee shop. Coffee is pretty good also!

First time at Spokesman Coffee and it was a great experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the coffee was excellent—whatever they’re doing with their roasting really works. Pricing was very fair for the quality. Looking forward to coming back.

Exceptional! Staff are kind, competent, and knowledgeable; tasty kolaches; wonderful drinks + espresso beans for at-home machines. Definitely the best Austin bean provider.

Fun coffee shop! I’m a sucker for one with two floors, and the top floor looks down into the climbing gym next door. Very cool vibe I wish I loved the coffee more, as our drinks were very hit or miss. On top of that, I felt that the seating was quite uncomfortable.

This coffee shop is connected to a rock climbing gym which is pretty cool. Awesome wall art, cool concept. It’s super cold in here so bring a jacket. I saw multiple people working from their computers but the atmosphere feels very cold, empty and colorless. Seats aren’t comfortable and it doesn’t feel cozy or welcoming. If you like that then this is the place for you to study/work! Overall coffee was good and bathrooms were clean.

really cool atmosphere! Plenty of seating up and downstairs. I love the music personally but it’s definitely not ‘chill coffee shop music’. The seats are also a little too high for the tables which wasn’t the most comfortable.

A nice place with great-tasting coffee. I enjoyed the atmosphere, though it felt a bit small and lacked open space. The staff were friendly, and the tap beer selection was decent.

Expensive, 7 and change for a 12oz latte, but it is absolutely delicious. i got an oat milk latte with lavender and vanilla. Im blaming it on my headache but it was a bit confusing to find as signage wasn't very clear and I almost walked into the wrong door 😆. The person at the counter was supper friendly and didn't give me a funny look when I asked for a milk alternative.

Stopped by today at around 10am to have some coffee and get some work done. Overheard the baristas LOUDLY complaining about people coming in to work on their laptops, stating that they wished Spokes would implement laptop free days. Heard them shouting that they don't mind customers hanging around, but they want them to do puzzles or something instead, as if it's any of their business what customers do. Meanwhile im sitting right across from them with my laptop and coffee. The only other customers there were also working/studying on laptops. Even one of the baristas was literally on her laptop during a break? Hilarious. Baristas then went on to LOUDLY complain about how they don't feel appreciated by Spokes. As a customer, I don't need to be hearing all of that. It made me feel unwanted and uncomfortable as a customer. And as someone who has worked in food service, this behavior is just so unprofessional. If you're going to complain on the job, maybe don't yell so loud that the entire shop can hear you. Won't be back at this location.
