Terrible Love

I've only been here once, but based on that visit, this is a great little coffee bar! My latte was milk-forward, not coffee-forward; that's how I like it, though your mileage may vary. Nevertheless, it had a definite rich coffee presence. And somehow, they managed to give the milk an extra-creamy mouthfeel! The server was very warm and friendly. The price was on the low side, so that's a plus. Note that this is just a small outbuilding, with no indoor seating, only tables outside. However, there's lots of easy parking. Unfortunately, I don't live nearby, but if I'm ever in the area at morning coffee time again, I'll definitely go back!

Flew in from Charlotte, NC and we gotta say this was not what we expected pulling up to it. After realizing the atmosphere and really just taking it in, we found the uniqueness of its location and atmosphere to be pleasantly surprised. We embraced it and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I ordered the Cortado and my wife ordered an iced latte.

Terrible Love is fabulous and serves a lovely, smooth, delicious cappuccino! The housemade grapefruit brown sugar syrup is delightful and perfectly pairs with the espresso. I love citrus, and grapefruit elevates the cappuccino above the typical orange flavoring. Amazing! The cute green mug they serve it in makes the experience even better. Super sweet and friendly staff. Adorable place with flowers lining the entrance and lots of outdoor seating under huge trees. Lots of parking in the lot. Such a hidden gem in Austin!

I would definitely recommend the cold brew with grapefruit syrup, it’s so tasty and refreshing, also very unique to this place. Their matcha and banana drink is also pretty good!! The banana in no way overpowers the matcha instead both flavors meld pretty nicely. Also their breakfast tacos are delicious, $4 each but very tasty. I am Mexican and I approve of them!! If you like and can handle spice I would recommend you go for the red salsa, the green salsa has a kick too but it’s to watery for me. I think the red salsa has a bit of chile morita mixed with chile de arból and it’s chef’s kiss 💋. I got the potato & cheese and the bean & cheese burritos, so I recommend those. Parking is pretty spacious in the basketball part of their lot and their seating is outdoors. They don’t take cash btw. May 2025 update: went back to get my breakkie tacos and unfortunately both sauces are no good anymore 😭😭 they’re both super watery, not worth it anymore. Drinks are still good tho.

I was just saying how it’s been a long time since I’ve had a coffee that impressed me. I wish I lived closer to this place— truly a hidden gem! The place is so cute and love the branding for pictures- but most of all, our drinks were so, so good!! Grapefruit brown sugar latte & terrible latte — most coffee shops that do unique flavors.. it’s hard to actually taste, but these were done wonderfully!! So smooth and creamy. Highly recommend!
