Jo’s Coffee

Touristy spot & locals hang out.
Super cool place, chill vibes yo 👌.
I recommend checking this place out and walking down the street there’s a lot of cool shops nearby.
We went on a Sunday and they had live music, which was fun.
There was not a long wait or a long line moves pretty fast.
No indoor seating. It’s all outdoor.
They did have clean restrooms 🚻 which was nice.

This coffee shop is located on a busy street in downtown and was very refreshing. The vanilla latte was very good. They had a variety specialty drinks, some I had never seen before.

We stayed in Austin for the weekend and walked to Jo’s from our BNB. There was already a line at 10 am but it went quickly. The tacos were all pre-made and tasted bland but the coffee was nice, strong and hot. There were plenty of seating and it seemed like people ate and left. No one except for a couple hung around and enjoyed the gorgeous Austin weather. There are so many taco joints to choose from so I wouldn’t go back.

Coffee taste and temp could have been better. They couldn’t serve the food as it was out of their serving window – understandable. Cashier was kinda rude. There are much better cafes in the area where you can your business to.

The coffee is decent, but not gourmet or particularly notable. At the South Congress location, they are going for a grungy, authentic Austin vibe with the old metal tables. However, they are actually a health hazard with the rusty metal parts exposed. I cut my hand a bit on the metal. I understand that they are trying to have an unpretentious atmosphere, but for an iconic Austin location that probably makes several million dollars in revenue per year there is an obligation to have the tables be at least safe for customers to sit at.
