Alfred Coffee Austin

Nestled inside the LINE, four-star hotel in Austin is this exquisite coffee establishment. I wish there were locations on every block in Austin! That’s how good it is! I requested a hot lavender latte, OMG! Then I had the nerve to ask for a ham and cheese croissant… as I write this review drooling, all I could say, is the amount of flaky, melt in your mouth -Deliciousness of that croissant made me want to move in! Do yourself a favor: Go!

We stayed right around the corner so this place was our go to for coffee. It's a super cool spot with good coffee. It's on the pricier side, even for artisan coffee shop, but it's in the lobby of a nice hotel so you kind of have to expect it. I was pretty shocked though when we ordered a very average bacon egg biscuit that we watched them warm in the microwave and it was $14... I mean come on.

I can't believe I haven't reviewed Alfred's yet! I've been going here for years! Their matcha is the best I've had anywhere in the world. And the girls that work there are the sweetest, loveliest and make the experience that much better! When I feel like I need a little break in life- iced oat milk matcha from Alfred's does the trick! 🙏

The coffee is very very good here. It is the modern, "bright" style of coffee, which all too often is good on its own before clashing with milk. But not here! The latte is expertly crafted, with the bright espresso going perfectly with the well-foamed milk. Well worth the ten-minute line to order (around 8 a.m.). The shop itself is a small space within the Line Hotel's beautiful lobby, but there are plenty of places in the lobby to sit, as well as tables outdoors in front of the hotel that appeared available at least in the morning. Service was friendly but fast-paced (which is good). Prices were reasonable for high-end coffee.

We popped in off the street craving iced coffees. Alfred is vibey and aesthetic, definitely not just a “lobby coffee shop”. Their special was a Chaga coffee (adaptogenic) with cinnamon and other delicious flavors 😋 It was SO delightful! only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is because the person who took my order was NOT friendly and clearly didn’t want to be there— and they treated my two friends that way too. Too bad because everything else was 🤌🤌🤌
