Slow service but baked goods are SO amazing! I’m not even vegan, but I loved their croissants. Definitely give this place a shot. Also, the cat art and photos everywhere made my day.

Small and quiet coffee shop, great for working from home! They have a lot of little food items and vegan pastries, and their coffee options are great!

Entire store is Dairy Free and there are Gluten Free options as well! Being gluten and dairy intolerant myself I know the struggle of finding good quality and great tasting options. Fat Cats has definitely done it right! The staff was also super friendly and helpful! I will 100% be back!

100% Plant Based!! Fat Cats is a gem as they have a multitude of delicious vegan baked goods!! I tried the espresso chocolate chip scone as well as their drip coffee - delish! Vegans and plant lovers gather around! I’ll definitely be coming back here next time I’m in the area.

Great experience as a vegan tourist. Had lots to eat and since it was my last day in Austin, I definitely had to buy half a dozen as the ones I had in the shop were delicious. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. My personal recommendation would be the mazapan croissant. That flavor just takes it to the next level. 5/5 stars, can’t wait to visit again when I’m back in town.

We are from out of town visiting friends and stopped by this place for breakfast and coffee. We tried several desserts and some of the savory kolache and croissant options. Everything was delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly! When we come back to Austin, we will definitely be visiting again. Thank you!!!!!!

Walking in, this small coffee shop eclectic and cozy; a small haven for vegan coffee addicts. There was cat art everywhere and books on floating shelves. Hipster to say the least. I was craving donuts sooo bad and Fat Cats Organic Coffee and Dessert hit the spot. I got a Lavender Donut and it was deliciously creamy but not too dense. All the coffee is vegan and they also have baked goods and ice cream. Super good, if you are driving that way.

OMG, it is not often you find a place that captures your taste and appreciates your patronage. Fat Cats is the perfect spot for delish ice cream and sweet pastries. Zach provides great customer service and a welcoming atmosphere. I had the Liz Lemon Cookie ice cream, and I must say that for this creamy concoction of lemonocity I will drive the 30 min across town. If I could I would buy a tub of it for myself. My husband and kiddos had cookie dough and cookies and cream and they absolutely enjoyed theirs too. I appreciate the vegan ice cream offerings and the quality of the pastries we had a cat cookie and cinnamon roll. Even our dog enjoyed her fresh baked dog treats. Our new family sweet spot for sure!

The pastries are made fresh and genuinely are amazing and are the best thing about this place. Service is a bit slow but all staff is nice and friendly. We asked which iced teas are pre made and ordered the black iced tea. It was lukewarm with no ice when we got it which was a little odd.

This coffee shop has a lot of potential. But at this time needs TLC. Shop was visibly unkempt with things on the floor and basic upkeep noticeably lacking. Cowgirl bar (rectangular cookie) was tasty. Cafe latte with oat milk was good. Has the general feel that the owner is not involved in day-to-day management. Love the animal friendly, cat and vegan themes.

Finally made it to Fat Cats, I have been looking forward to this Cafe after checking out their menu online. If your a cat lover Fat Cats decor is all about the kitties, showcasing local artwork of cats along the walls that you can purchase. The menu items from the coffee to the baked goods are organic and vegan. We ordered a waffle and added pecans to the mix which unfortunately was an extra .75 cents for a waffle at that price point. The showcase of baked goods caught my eye in which I gave the blueberry kolache a go with a Cubano coffee to wash it down. The kolache could have used a bit more blueberries but the Cubano was beautiful. Next was the waffle which was fluffy with a hint of vanilla. With more goodies in the showcase to indulge I ordered a coffee cake muffin which was simple, fluffy, and far from dry. They offer a free scoop of vanilla icecream (while supplies last) with every purchase you make. It was delicious, not to sweet and very creamy. Fat Cats is a cute spot but lacks the attentiveness and dash of Texas hospitality.

My daughter got a waffle and said it was good. But for $7.25, it was awfully skimpy. Service was slow and indifferent. The two people working there seemed to care less about whether we were there or not. My daughter likes it since it's vegan, but I can't recommend it.

Kind of made me depressed. It is like those stories I've heard of state-run canteens in Cuba where nothing is available and everything drab. Except this place isn't even cheap. Came for ice cream but none available. As is a bunch of things on their menu. Just call yourself coffee then, not coffee and ice cream. Sad-looking half-empty display cabinets. Dim and gloomy. Ugly art on the walls -- for sale. Counter person morose. Feels to me that they must be going out of business or something. Seems to survive only on the goodwill of the community. Service is extremely slow despite the very few people who visit. iPad flipping for tip gouging is fully in action.
