Medici is the best coffee shop in the UT Austin Area, handily beating Starbucks, Lucky Lab, and I think onpar with Centro, but they are good for different things. But the main thing is coffee: Medici is a Roastery (like Merit), which I like only because the quality of the coffee can be ascribed to them, and not just having the decent sense to buy well-roasted coffee. I also suspect that since roasting is the single highest value-added step in the cofy chain, prices are a bit lower. Anyway, Medici’s coffee is consistently good with sufficient options in a nice location. Its the quintessential college coffee shop that you want nextdoor.

FAVOURITE STUDY SPOT. Amazing matcha (highly recommend the rose strawberry matcha). The matcha is good quality and good ratio - not diluted like most matcha places. Great pastries too! A lot of nice seating and lovely vibe.

A two-level coffee shop in a university district, and the academic energy here is real. While other coffee shops start shifting to a weekend vibe by Friday afternoon, this place stays focused—even on a Saturday, most people are locked into their screens, studying or working. It’s great knowing there’s a spot where you can still find a productive atmosphere on the weekend. The coffee is excellent, and the space feels open and inviting, thanks to the high ceilings and second level. We grabbed a table upstairs, which offered a nice view of the café below. Good music, good design, and a balanced mix of quiet and activity. By the time we arrived, all pastries were sold out, but that’s on us for coming after the morning rush. Clearly, this place keeps busy, and for good reason. If you’re looking for a solid coffee spot with a studious, focused atmosphere, Medici Roasting delivers. A must-visit if you need a weekend work session with great coffee.

Today I finally decided to try Medici Roasting after hearing from one of my professors how good it is. I ordered a hot Pumpkin Pie Latte, and it was so delicious! It was the perfect mixture between sweet and bitter. The customer service was excellent, the baristas are very sweet and know what they’re doing. I stayed for 3 hours doing some essays on the second floor. Very cozy and warm atmosphere. I liked how it was a good balance between loud and quiet. Thank you!! I will definitely come back to try new items.

The coffee at Medici Roasting is nothing short of exceptional. They take pride in sourcing high-quality beans and roasting them to perfection, bringing out the rich, complex flavors in every cup. Whether you’re ordering a classic espresso, a pour-over, or a latte, the attention to detail is evident. The baristas are skilled and knowledgeable, ensuring each drink is crafted with precision. Their espresso has a robust, smooth taste with a perfect balance of acidity, while the pour-over options highlight the nuanced flavors of single-origin beans. Service at Medici Roasting is professional and friendly. The staff is passionate about coffee and always willing to share their expertise or recommend a new blend to try. Despite the café often being busy, the service remains efficient, and the baristas maintain a welcoming demeanor that makes you feel at home. Medici Roasting locations offer a mix of modern and cozy aesthetics. The spaces are typically bright and airy, with plenty of natural light, clean lines, and a minimalist design that emphasizes comfort. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it an ideal spot for both working and socializing. Whether you’re there to catch up on some work or have a chat with friends, the ambiance supports a range of activities.

I had the best coffee here; it was very delicious. The place is quiet and pleasant, and the vegetarian taco was very good.

Medici is located across the street of UT campus. I enjoy the atmosphere here. Students work on their stuffs and be productive at this place. Iced latte is great here. Espresso tasted balanced, not too sour or too bitter. I especially like the crushed ice inside. If you happen to visit this area, Medici is a great place to have a sip of coffee and take a rest.

Been going here for a year and some change- the baristas all deserve more than an applause. They see hundreds of students daily- many of them who don’t even say thank you. But they still show up, practice their latte art, and share an experience with The Drag and UT. They’ve opened the doors to homelessness, student organizations, and so much more. I think it’s one of the greatest tasting coffees in Austin and I’ve heard the same from so many people! When dialed correctly, a double espresso can showcase their awesome vision for specialty coffee. More than anything, the baristas at Guad are some of the most fun and heart-filled people and if given the chance to be treated like humans with feelings and compassion, you’d also join the hundreds of regulars (UT students, UT professors, people who work remotely, and people who have lived in Austin and have experienced the story of Medici the last 17 years) who take the time to head to Medici over any other local specialty shop in Austin. The one thing that does suck is parking so good luck with that!

Came here because we wanted to try some Italian-style coffee. I liked my drip coffee and my wife liked her cappucino. Coffee was a touch more bitter than what we usually have, I guess that is the difference between American and Italian style? Service was fast and friendly. There is seating on two floors and that seems nice. They don't have designated parking so we parked on the street in front of the shop. Glad we came here.
