Medici Roasting
1101 W Lynn St, Austin, TX
Crema's Take
“Medici Roasting thrives as a serious espresso and pour-over destination in the UT Austin area, where the academic energy runs deep and students actually stay focused through Friday afternoons. Their matcha deserves special mention—the rose strawberry matcha is made with quality tea and proper ratios that avoid the diluted mediocrity you'll find elsewhere—though consistency with espresso drinks seems to vary. This two-level spot pairs thoughtfully sourced coffee with solid pastries and reliable wifi, making it genuinely ideal for those who want to linger with intention rather than just pass through.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Wifi.

A two-level coffee shop in a university district, and the academic energy here is real. While other coffee shops start shifting to a weekend vibe by Friday afternoon, this place stays focused—even on a Saturday, most people are locked into their screens, studying or working.…
I got the Strawberry Rose Matcha as it was a special drink on the blackboard recommended by the batista, and it sounded yummy but the drink itself didn't taste like much, very watery with a hint of matcha and strawberry flavor. Not very sweet, which isn't necessarily a bad…
