Spokesman
6015 Dillard Cir, Austin, TX
Crema's Take
“Spokesman is a beautifully artistic two-level space overlooking an adjacent rock climbing gym, creating a uniquely energetic vibe that draws in both coffee enthusiasts and remote workers alike. Their espresso and pour over offerings are handled with real care—Miguel and the team are known for thoughtful recommendations like their standout Scarlett tea, which balances tangy and floral notes perfectly. This is one of Austin's top roasters with genuine community roots, though fair warning: dress warmly, as the shop runs cool, and come with an open mind since drinks can be pleasantly unpredictable.”

I had a great experience here today, thanks to Miguel! He recommended the non-caffeinated Scarlett tea, which was a highlight-it had a perfect balance of tangy notes and a lovely flowery aroma. The atmosphere is unique and high-energy, making it a cool spot to get some work done while watching the climbers. Miguel's friendly service and great drink recommendation made the visit even better. Definitely recommend checking this place out!
The coffee and atmosphere are impeccable. One small nitpick is that every time I come in, I say "Hi, how are you?" And only once did the barista say it back. I'm a barista myself, it's not hard to be polite. Giving 5 stars anyway, who knows, maybe they just think I'm whack lol. Maybe the coldness is earned.
Beautifully decorated coffee shop. The walls feel like you're stepping into a doodle. Coffee is fantastic. One of the best roasters in the city. Very involved in with the community. Hosting markets and small events like book clubs and speed dating. Always something cool playing on the projector upstairs. The music always suits the Barista working and I always find myself shazaming tunes here.
Fun coffee shop! I’m a sucker for one with two floors, and the top floor looks down into the climbing gym next door. Very cool vibe I wish I loved the coffee more, as our drinks were very hit or miss. On top of that, I felt that the seating was quite uncomfortable.
This coffee shop is connected to a rock climbing gym which is pretty cool. Awesome wall art, cool concept. It’s super cold in here so bring a jacket. I saw multiple people working from their computers but the atmosphere feels very cold, empty and colorless. Seats aren’t comfortable and it doesn’t feel cozy or welcoming. If you like that then this is the place for you to study/work! Overall coffee was good and bathrooms were clean.
