Russell’s Bakery & Genuine Joe Coffeehouse
2525 W Anderson Ln. Suite #270, Austin, TX
Crema's Take
“Russell's Bakery and Genuine Joes is an Austin institution where the coffee rivals the pastries—think perfectly balanced chai lattes and gingerbread almond milk drinks alongside croissants and muffins that justify the hype. The quirky, welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to settle in for a slow sit, and they've thoughtfully covered dietary needs with gluten-free options while keeping adventurous offerings like matcha tea on the menu. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where locals return again and again because both the craft and the care are genuinely excellent.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. Slow-sit spot. Pastries on the menu. Open late.
