Thunderbird Coffeehouse Review

Great vibe and quiet. Place was full but you wouldn't notice.

I didn't stay here and order anything, so I'm not giving a well-rounded review. I meant to meet up with a friend for a cup of coffee, but the place was so packed with students that I had to leave. I did manage to get a tiny table with one chair, but all the tables are so close to each other, and the place is so brightly lit, that I just didn't like the atmosphere. Not conducive to cozy chats. It was a Monday night, beginning of December. Maybe everyone's preparing for college exams? I had this place on my list of coffee shops to try out for working and studying, but now that I've seen it in person, I won't be coming back, at least not for that. Maybe to try the food.

Sometimes crowded, but otherwise a great place to study or just hang out. Mimosa specials on Saturday afternoon! Great coffee.

They no longer have beer on tap, but their lattes and americanos are amazing. I also had their smoked salmon sandwich there, which was pretty tasty.

They have great coffee, friendly service, and a very nice beer selection on tap. It has a really comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere.

Great coffee, good place to meet with people or get work done. Lots of outdoor seating.

Coffee is okay but the service is terrible. The only redeeming part of my visit was the people that were with me.

Best coffee shop in Austin! Honey Nut Latte is the best.

Laid back coffee shop. Quiet enough for chat with friend or sip alone. Parking is challenging before 11am.

Not my neighborhood coffee shop but still come here some. Great patio. Relaxed atmosphere. Good coffee and good treats.

Hip coffee shop serving up great cups of joe! Wish the seating was more comfortable.

A great place to bike to and grab a drink. Whether it's coffe, beer, or water it's a cool place to hang out with friends or to read. I like it.

One of my go to spots for a Cortado or a Chai Latte. Staff is super friendly and the place has a great Austin vibe. Parking is challenging so be prepared to find a spot in the neighborhood.

Wow, what a delightful experience. Received the best service from the cutest boy, I think his name is Ryan? Anyway, he should be given a raise! Best service in Austin. I guess everything really IS bigger and better in Texas.

A nice Austin coffee shop. I like the vibe inside. Great location near great restaurants. Lots of outdoor seating, but can be quite busy inside!

Really wanted to like this local coffee shop, it's the closest to my apartment, but the service was subpar to say the best. When I arrived, I was one of two queuing customers, I ordered and proceeded sat down at the bar. There were 3 employees, only one was actually taking orders or making coffee, the other two were sitting and talking. The one guy working couldn't walk 3 feet to out the drink down and didn't announce it loud enough if at all where he let my drink sit and cool on the service counter. Other two employees proceeded to talk about needing a drink as the place got busier. I won't be back.

Honey nut latte is to die for. Seating areas and venue is nothing to talk about. Music was way too loud. I had a hard time hearing a client across the table from me.

The blueberry lavender latte is great, very lavender-y They got a nice creaminess out of the almond milk. The honey nut latte is sweet and nutty. Great spot to study.

great place to get your coffee to go! too crowded and not always kept up

Can't say I loved the coffee. Employees were really nice.

The staff, food, drinks, location are awesome. However, the bathrooms are super gross and in need of a deep clean and renovation. I ve seen old gas stations with better bathrooms :(

Good coffee. They usually have a good selection of some really tasty bagels. Nice outside seating area. A good place to study or read.

Came here on a date while we were waiting for our table across the street at East Side Cafe, and had a great experience. The place is really nice and quiet and had some really good coffee. I usually drink my coffee black, and it was very pleasant. The atmosphere was really cool, the baristas were very nice and chill. Great place to study or have a quiet conversation to catch up with an old friend.

Did behind the counter insisted on serving two customers who ordered after me, probably because they're regulars. That's fine. I'll never be a regular, though.

Really cool place! There s more space than I had originally thought. The coffee is really good especially the Honey Nut Latte and their cranberry muffin was also really good. Definitely on my top 5 favorite coffee shops.

The internet speed here is really terrible, and I'm trying to be sympathetic. Can't get any serious work done here. Other than that it's fine. With other coffee shops offering up to 100MB connections, it's nonsense to have a 1MB connection. Just saying. The coffee is definitely good; I just feel like that's only part of the experience anymore.

Hip place, lots of macbook airs, but the coffee was very bitter.

Chai was good and the food came out fast! Everything was made fresh and so delicious it's a great place to go by yourself or with friends. Specially been able to sit inside or outside

They have very interesting art here, and the food is very good.

You can pick from selections like turkey cranberry sandwich or basil chicken sandwich + other variations.

However, I've seen the staff get a little agitated.

C'mon people, are yal not tippin' them?

really friendly staff, eclectic but not suffocating decor, young and varied crowd, good noise level, fast service, inside and outside seating, I ordered the mint green tea- nice and very minty no need for sweeteners

Great coffee. Great Service. Cool Atmosphere and free wifi. Can't beat it.

Beautiful shop with great light. Nice place to go alone if you just want to work, but also a good place to take a friend. It has a pleasant but also calm feeling to it. All of the workers always make the most lovely foam art in the espresso drinks, like I feel like it's a requirement to have a beautiful soul and awesome clothing to work there. Get the honeynut latte! It's worth it!

Coffee wasn't that great, expensive, not easily accessible.

Nice place to go get work done... relaxed and laid back!

Good coffee, great atmosphere, good for getting work done. Can be crowded at time and now open too late

This was a fantastic find to get out of the ordinary coffee. They had wonderful blends and a great comfortable style. I will be back again and again.

A fun relaxing place close to campus with great selection for tea and coffee, lots of available street parking options and charging ports.

Love this place. .very crowded, however. Parking is a challenge. Fast, friendly service and great coffee.

Great place to work remotely and meet clients! Met my friend James for a quick business meeting and coffee.

I love this place! My boyfriend and I try to go here when we have to study or do HW late at night. The coffee is good and there is always a table available despite the fact that it is a small place. They have some good snacks too if we are hungry. We are very picky about coffee shops and this is one we love going to.

Great freshly ground coffee. They now serve Taco Deli tacos.

Delicious. Reasonable prices. Quiet. Nice patio. Friendly servers.

My fiance and I actually met here two years ago for concerts. This venue has great coffee, beers and food. Much more than you would think for a coffee shop. It's a fun, very Austin-y place to hang out and they have a great outdoor area great for homework or just enjoying a nice day.

This is a great study spot for those who are in search of one. The atmosphere is super cute. It beats the other super crowded coffee shop. I usually get a chai tea here and I love how they make it. They do not hold back on the spices.

Try the Thai iced coffee! Good coffee with plenty of room to sit and work.

ALMOND MILK CHAI TEA& VEGAN CARROT CAKE!! The best combo!!!!!!!
I love vegan options in desserts!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH THUNDERBIRD COFFE!!!!

Classic east Austin coffee shop! This place is a hipster's dream where people can stay all day and read with plenty of seating and light. There is always a mix of working class and professional folks with delicious, crafted coffee being the great unifier.

Good coffee and friendly service. Lots of seating. More Macs on display than an Apple store.

Loved the early bird breakfast and the place it was relaxing and peaceful

Good coffee and sandwiches... plenty of seating indoors and out!

I appreciate that Thunderbird Coffee always has a quality selection of coffee beans and they do a superb job crafting coffee drinks.

Another nice addition is grabbing a beer during the late afternoon while knocking out emails.

At times it can be tough to find seating, but when the weather is nice you can always grab a table outside.

Amazing coffee and food menu. I brought my first date here a year ago and now she's my wife so I guess that's saying something.

Quality coffee, nice outdoor seating area, good spot to study or work.

I like this place so much! Clean with comfortable shaded outdoor seating and a modern rustic ambience. Staff is very friendly and coffee is great.

Food is good, Wi-Fi is good and outdoor seating is nice. Coffee could be better

One of the best coffee shops in Austin for working on projects. Great coffee and menu, plenty of room and plugs. Outside and inside has nice scenery. Great location. The staff is super friendly! And plants EVERYWHERE :)

Solid vibe with great indoor and outdoor seating. Great green tea on ice

Good stop on weekend mornings on my neighborhood walk. I get tacos and a coffee. A lot of outdoor seating.

Is a nice coffee shop. Had a cold brew that I enjoyed a lot.

For when you are wanting the absolute best in coffee, turn to Thunderbird.

Great east side establishment - nice outside seating area and good for people watching with lots of open space and a good mix of customers
