La Tazza Fresca

I love this place because of the great vibe, varied menu items, and friendly service. It's the kind of coffee shop where you can post up and read, study, or get work done, making it popular among UT students. Because of that, it can get busy around midterms. The menu has a big variety of drinks and food. They offer coffee, lattes, teas, and smoothies. The food menu includes fresh made sandwiches and pizza and a wide selection of pastries and desserts. Try the pecan pie with some ice cream! The service is quick and friendly. I can be picky and like to customize my order with almond milk or extra flavors and this is never a problem. I even got a custom chocolate banana peanut butter smoothie once and it was amazing. La Tazza Fresca is also open until midnight every night, so it's the perfect place to fulfill your late night food cravings, stay caffeinated through a long night of studying, or just grab a hot cup of tea and read a book.

This is the first review I’ve ever placed for a restaurant or coffee shop but I just had to! I’ve been going around looking for the best coffee shop in Austin since I moved here 2 years ago, and this place is definitely at the top of the list. Their chai(iced or hot) is AMAZING, definitely the best I’ve had. And if you’re a latte lover, they have so many nice flavors. Also they don’t charge for almond/soy/coconut milk which is extremely rare! Atmosphere is also great and very homey.

The coffee was so good. I think this is the best one I had in Austin. I got a cup of iced latte and it was awesome. Very soft and the smell was good without sour or bitter taste. I really liked it. However the service was a little bit terrible. It says they are open till 12. But he said it will close at 9.30pm after we ordered the coffee. And from 9pm he pushed us in every 5minutes...... directly and indirectly.........hahaha that was really funny.

La Tazza Fresca is the greatest establishment in modern America. With friendly staff members, an exceptionally curated playlist, and a welcoming environment it is no wonder that La Tazza Fresca made it to number one in my top 1,000 list of cafes across America. It is a place of the highest quality and excels far beyond the quality of most cafes I have had the pleasure of gracing. Come here for the experience of a life time.

I've been going to Tazza Fresca for a pretty long time and just never bothered to write a review until now. The coffee is always awesome, but you'd probably expect nothing less, so what makes it actually great? The employees are the top of the list for me. Always super friendly and helpful. I once accidentally spilled my coffee all over one of the tables outside, and they cleaned it up AND made me another coffee for free. The food also is surprisingly good. Often when you eat a sandwich at a small coffee shop you get one of those little things that looks like they just picked it up pre-packaged at a convenient store, but at Tazza Fresca the sandwiches are piled high and served with tomato soup, all made in house. I always have an all around great experience here.
