Radio Coffee & Beer is an absolute neighborhood staple and one I truly miss after moving downtown. When I lived just five minutes away, I was a regular, and it immediately became one of my favorite hangout spots. In fact, when I visited Austin back in 2017 to decide if I could make this city my home, a friend recommended Radio and it's no exaggeration to say that this place played a pivotal role in my decision to leave New York and settle in Austin. One of the highlights of Radio is the fantastic variety of food trucks on-site. While I know I'm missing out on gems like DeeDee Thai and Briscuits, I find it nearly impossible to pass up VeraCruz All Natural. Their award-winning tacos are legendary, and I can never resist the Migas Poblanas Taco. The staff is exactly what you'd hope for in a local gem: friendly, quirky, and brimming with personality. An "All Are Welcome" sign greets you as you approach to find folks from all walks of life tapping away on their laptops or catching up with friends or starting their day with their ritualistic caffeine in solitude. Though I can't vouch for the coffee (I'm not a coffee drinker), everything else here stands out. With the seamless transition of a cozy coffee shop by day to a lively cocktail bar at night, Radio truly knows how to cater to any mood or occasion. It was here at Radio that I first tried a Mezcal Negroni, a cocktail that has since become a personal favorite wherever I go. Radio also introduced me to my favorite local Austin band, which speaks to the magical atmosphere they've cultivated. Between the rotating lineup of live music performances, the welcoming community vibe, and the picturesque setting, Radio feels like more than just a spot; it feels like home. Without Radio, my Austin experience would feel incomplete. And while I haven't yet visited their new Eastside location, I'm certain it will carry the same charm and excellence that makes the original so beloved. Whether you're stopping by for a quiet morning or a lively evening, Radio Coffee & Beer is a true Austin treasure. And for me, it will always be a cornerstone of my connection to this city.

Ambiance was great - great Mexican music playing in the outdoor area, and sunlight exposure was great. Very windy though. The drinks were great - I got the white chocolate cranberry mocha and it was just right and not too sweet. The espresso tonic was a bit weird (espresso+tonic water) but I don't know what I was expecting.

The patio, the music, the food trucks, all of it! Is a vibe I'd like to be apart of in the new year. If the day is sunny and beautiful, this is the place to be! The coffee is delicious and strong. They have Veracruz tacos there which were perfect. Heads up it's made to order so it may take a while (it took us an hour to get our 2 tacos but that's okay it was busy)

If someone is looking for a place that has that Austin Coffee Shop and Bar vibes. This is it. It's become my own personal gold standard of relaxed atmosphere, indoor and outdoor spaces, friendly bar staff, and delicious drinks for both the am and pm. Both inside and outside seating are clean, spacious, and I'd even say curated. Inside is quiet and fantastic for working on your novel or presentation; you can check your email on their free Wifi. Step out, and find a more vibrant fun experience. The staff is great. I can be a bit indecisive with my drinks and they have no problems offering a recommendation. Without them, I would not have thought to try Blue Owl's Tiger's Blood. It was amazing, get the summer sour if you ever have the chance. Try the specialty cocktails, I had an Evil Son; it was well balanced and super refreshing. I've been back since I first checked in, and I plan on coming back again. Thank you Radio Coffee & Beer.

This is literally my go-to spot when I need to get out of the house and get some work done. It's by far my favorite place to have a drink and be productive. I recently tried their kombucha and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. Their coffee selection is excellent, and they also offer alcoholic beverages if you're in the mood for that. Every single member of the staff has always been super friendly and extremely attentive. It's a great place to meet friends and enjoy the outdoor area, which is my favorite part.

I really dig the atmosphere here. Ample seating inside and out, surrounded by a mini food park with great meal and snack choices. Different combos of patrons here from those working, reading, needing a place to chill, and those hanging out with friends. Everyone is really nice. Know what else is really nice? The service and the drinks!! Delicious!! My cocktail was only $7!!! Regular price. Most are no more than $10. The drinks are on par with any high-end, overpriced establishment. Dare I say even better? Love it here.

This review is for the matcha latte: yes. 5/5. Best matcha latte in austin. They make it the right way: no sugar. The matcha is so smooth and creamy. I keep coming back for this drink only. If you are into matcha, try it out. I love all the outdoor seatin. This is a good place for a weekend or a weekday. Many people come to work on the weekday. Weekends are actually less crowded.
