Carpenter Coffee Bar

A cozy, warmly decorated coffee shop with a welcoming vibe. It was bustling with people, and lots of folks were working remotely, which gave the space a relaxed, productive energy. The coffee was rich, aromatic, and full of flavor. A great place to settle in for a while with a good cup.

Beautiful coffee shop attached to a hotel. The coffee shop serves Greater Foods and the drip is good. As a coffee shop with a hotel the clientele is all laptop warriors so you will get into a zone. I want to additionally call out the salted bagel which is crisp and tangy and a bit cheesy. The lox-and-bagel is $14 as a result and is the right price for the great quality. The lox is large and moist and goes well with the salt of the bagel and the light seasoning on the onion. The salad is the same gem lettuce salad in the restaurant that I love. So this is yes a review of the coffee and of the vibe but really of that lox-and-bagel.

Cute as hell It feels very Austin in here. The seats inside are usually full when I seem to go, but always plenty of options outside. Plenty of easy access gender neutral bathrooms, never a line. Paid street parking is only downside, but I feel that’s expected for this location.

Some fun and unique fall drink specials. The milks available as creamer are pretty allergy friendly. However, I didn’t ask if the oat milk is gf. Great spot for outdoor seating. While in a semi urban location the outdoor area has lots of tall plants giving a somewhat private feel. The indoors is a fun retro vibe with 70’s architecture and decor.

Truly one of the most rad and retro coffee shops I have ever been to. The interior is aesthetic at every turn and so well curated. It’s impossible not to find a tasteful corner of the shop. The espresso was very good too; not too bitter or acidic. I loved this coffee shop and the chairs were comfortable and the atmosphere was chill and not stuffy. There was ample and diverse seating if you want to enjoy your coffee inside. A must see!!!! We were there over Christmas and it was very tastefully decorated with Texas Christmas flair :)
