Dear Diary Coffee
1212 Chicon St #103, Austin, TX
Crema's Take
“Dear Diary Coffee is a beautifully curated Austin gem where specialty coffee and matcha drinks share the spotlight with locally-made art, jewelry, and vegan pastries that actually excite you. The shop radiates a genuinely funky, welcoming energy (complete with Bob Ross on the TV) that feels like old Austin—unpretentious, artisan-focused, and perfect whether you're meeting a friend, taking a work call, or getting lost in the creative vibes for hours. With standout drinks like their matcha and chai lattes alongside thoughtfully crafted food options for both vegans and non-vegans, it's the kind of place that earns fierce loyalty from regulars who keep coming back for the whole experience.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu.

This is the cutest coffee shop in central Austin! Coffee was great and Wallace was super nice. I had no problems taking a call from work and enjoying my coffee. The store also has amazing art, jewelry and crafts for sale from local artists.
