Whoa Nellie! Great coffee and great service. Parking can be a little tricky here but it's definitely worth it. I picked up several bags of beans to take home and enjoyed a couple of cups while I was here. Very friendly staff, very patient with questions about the bean selection. Highly recommended.

Barrett’s has the best / highest quality roasted coffee in Austin. I drive across town to buy beans weekly. I also love their iced sesame latte. I’ve never been disappointed by a roast profile here- 10/10 recommend for pour overs & espresso

We tried their specials with Ethiopian and Honduras beans and both drinks were decent. Liked the flavor notes of both and brought home a bag of their freshly roasted beans - love that they are single origin and micro-roasted.

I’m a sucker for a coffee house that sources and roasts the beans themselves! My cappuccino was perfect. Love the sweets and the taco options too! Lots of room to sit down with friends or get some work done. Free WiFi

This place was so nice and cozy, it smells great. Staff is friendly which is always a plus. We had the breakfast tacos and they were good for the price. Overall would definitely come back here.

This is a pretty good cup of coffee. My wife and I were looking for a coffee shop with similar coffee to what we enjoyed in Shanghai and, wow, this might be it. She got the cappuccino and I got a latte. Dain, our barista, was really nice and took good care of us. The environment is very niche. It feels like back alley that happened to serve coffee one day, particularly with the bars on the windows. Everything was clean and the cups even have a nice weight to them. Honestly would come back again! All photos directly out of camera, Fuji X-T5 with a 10-24mm @ f/4, in black and white because I’m weird like that.

Barrett’s Coffee is a wonderfully cozy and peaceful café, perfect for those who appreciate a quiet, focused atmosphere. On a Sunday visit, we noticed people engaged in their own worlds - some working on laptops, others reading books. In fact, several people were reading, which says a lot about the kind of space this is. It’s the kind of place where concentration and calmness feel like the norm. The coffee is excellent, and the service is warm and welcoming. A standout feature is their separate roasting room, housing two massive coffee roasting machines along with stacks of coffee bags, hinting at large-scale roasting operations. Whether they only serve their coffee in-house or also sell it elsewhere, it’s clear they take their craft seriously. This is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates coffee not just as a drink but as a culture. Barrett’s Coffee doesn’t just serve great coffee - it cultivates an environment that truly embraces the coffee experience. Highly recommended!

This is one of my favorite get aways, it's simple and easy going. It can't hold a lot of people but the people that are there are quality. The staff is normally very chill and attentive. In my opinion some of the best batistas.

This cozy little spot might not look like much from the outside but step inside and you’ll find a cute area perfect for working. There’s plenty of tables, lots of space, and it’s open late so you can work comfortably late into the evening. The coffee is fantastic, especially the handmade pumpkin spice latte which truly lives up to the hype. You can even buy the syrup to take home! The cardamom bun was delicious as well. It tastes like a slightly different version of a cinnamon roll. So whether you’re there to work, unwind, or just grab a delicious latte, this café is worth a visit.

Cool little spot. Not huge inside but we were able to find a seat. Also have a few tables outside. Was pleasantly surprised with their cold brew and americano. Good flavor, decent prices. What more can you ask for in a coffee? Will definitely return if in the area.

Very nice coffee shop that is also a roasters I believe. Parking is a little funky so make sure you don’t too early because map apps will have you turning into a vacant building spot. Then inside is very cool with great service and importantly great coffee. The espresso shots are well pulled and their homemade beverages are excellent and well balanced.

A great coffee shop in my new neighborhood. Cozy and quiet just how I like my coffee shops. Staff were training so probably not the typical experience to have the ordering counter unattended which is understandable. It appeared they were roasting the coffee right in back?which if they do it on sight is awesome! The cappuccino was good, the espresso was smooth and slightly sweet. Parking is a bit awkward but as to be expected in a city.

I come here regularly because I live nearby and love having a cafe within walking distance. The espresso is okay, but it’s nothing special. If you’ve been to Radio Coffee, the lattes here taste about the same. The real issue is the service. This isn't a one-off experience with a single person. I’ve visited multiple times and have been served by several different baristas, yet the attitude is always the same. They often come across as cold, judgmental, and generally like they don’t want to be there. I’ve worked in the service industry myself, so I try to give some grace since I know how draining it can be. However, matching a customer's energy with a simple smile is the bare minimum. Every interaction feels incredibly off-putting and unwelcoming.

I ordered 1 lb of whole beans from them through DoorDash. When picking up the order the workers were so confused on how to handle it. Sorry but either you don't support an ordering platform at all or train the employees to handle it properly. Not business's fault but parking here is horrible. There isn't even a spot to quickly park to pick up an order. With all that said, coffee beans that I got were well roasted and tasted great.

This was my first time there and it was bad. My coffee was barely warm and I don't know if it was made correctly. I watched the barista warm up the milk for 10 seconds before filling my cup. They eyeballed the amount of flavoring in drinks which makes things inconsistent. I don't like that. Plus they didn't call out orders when they were done. I had to figure out myself that it was mine. Which was awkward since I had to touch the cup to see the writing on it. Thankfully it was mine. The cashier was super unfriendly and unhelpful. I don't mind if you have a RBF face and do your job correctly.

I am never a fan of barretts coffee including the syrups they pair with it. It tastes fine, but then theres an alcohol hit during it. Its mever a smooth taste, it always has a sharp edge to it that isnt great to me, it leads me having a headache as im drinking it. I am not a fan, but wouldnt say is the WORSTT, but would never go again.
