Bottega
2100 Robert Browning St, Austin, TX
Crema's Take
“This Mueller neighborhood gem combines excellent coffee craft with genuinely stellar breakfast sandwiches that keep locals coming back daily—the staff's infectious energy and the owner Kati's warm presence make it feel like visiting friends rather than a cafe. Their signature drinks showcase creative touches like raw cacao mochas, and the whole operation has expanded into the neighboring space, suggesting they've earned their devoted following through consistency and care.”

Super cute cafe. The ladies working were kind, attentive, and clearly having fun. My latte was tasty, the breakfast sandwiches looked so good. They were cooking bacon which smelled oh so good!!!
I love this cute vibey coffee shop!! They make their mochas with raw cacao, have a ton of signature drinks, and the chef makes world’s best breakfast sandwich! 10/10 fav coffee spot
Bottega is hands-down one of my favorite cafes around Mueller - I'm in here almost every day. The staff are all awesome people and the owner, Kati, is great! They've expanded into the space next door so there is more room for indoor seating and they're hosting more and more fun events there as well. Definitely check it out if you need a cappuccino or other tasty drink. They've also got breakfast sandwiches, soups, and pastries 🍰 😋
My new favorite coffee shop in Austin! Bottega absolutely nails it every single time. The sandwiches are honestly some of the best I’ve had anywhere - super fresh, really thoughtfully made, and way more delicious than a “coffee shop sandwich” has any right to be. And the seasonal pecan pie latte? Unreal. It comes with a tiny pecan pie tart on the side and it’s the cutest, most perfect little touch. It feels like a small luxury moment in the middle of the day. The space is gorgeous, the staff is genuinely kind, and everything they serve feels crafted with so much care. If you haven’t been yet, go. This place is a gem.
A bit of an oddball. The coffee was good not great and the overnight oats were way too thick and lacked enough flavor. The baristas were nice and the order came out correctly so no knock on them. The space is a live/work apartment so if you go inside you have the option of sitting on the kitchen bar or a separate table. I sat in kitchen bar but the kitchen was pretty dirty. The inside was messy with decommissioned a ice-cream machine and other stuff. The whole place looked cluttered. The front door is also locked and you have to go around the side making it seem like they don’t want you inside. I moved outside where they have a small patio with furniture. The outside furniture was all super uncomfortable, especially the two-seater. Clearly it’s missing the cushions or something. They have one umbrella and the space gets blasted by the sun in the morning. Sun coverage is very spotty so you are either squinting or heating up if you are not in the right spot. This place is cute has potential but needs to make some changes. Get more comfortable outdoor patio furniture, more shade structures to protect against the morning sun, declutter the interior, keep the kitchen clean and open that front door so people feel welcome inside.
