Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors Cafe & Roastery
1111 Chicon St, Austin, TX
Crema's Take
“This espresso-focused roastery in downtown Austin pulls shots with impressive precision and roasts their beans in-house, earning devoted fans who've made it their go-to spot after trying dozens of other local cafes. The vibe strikes that rare balance between serious craft coffee and genuine hospitality—you can settle in with your laptop or sink into a book while the knowledgeable staff efficiently handles the crowds without losing their warmth. If you're someone who appreciates a cappuccino or pour over done right, without any burnt or careless beans in the cup, this is worth the early arrival to snag a seat.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. A slow-sit spot, laptop-friendly.

This place got packed right after we came in and you can see why! I'm a coffee snob and the picks for iced and espresso were approachable, but great! Not a burnt bean in sight! The staff are kind and knowledgeable. They make you want to come back. The vibe is vintage but chic.…
I’m a coffee snob and after going to 15+ coffee shops in Austin, this is my go-to spot for cappuccinos. Would highly recommend. Vibe is great for reading or some laptop work (just need to get there early). 10/10 would highly recommend.
While I didn’t have any of their food, I did have a fantastic hot latte. Not only did it taste great, it was beautifully presented. The shop was busy, but the service was friendly, efficient and speedy. The atmosphere is great too, inside and out. There’s decent seating inside…
Absolutely phenomenal. This is craft coffee, unlike so many other Austin area shops that don’t come close. Figure 8 knows how to throw ‘spro. Beans are roasted in-house as well, which judging by the quality of the drinks they also excel at. I tried a pile of other shops in…
Good stop with good vibes. Their roast is decent, capturing some of the fruit and some of the sour of the beans. I see they have more beans that aren't available at the shop, so I'm suspecting to try them more I'll have to go to their wholesale buyers.
