The real bad experience one could have just by seeing the outer appearance, I am sure would never come back here, just got betrayed by the name as was looking for coffee. The wait was real long for just coffees, secondly as waiting for the coffees went to the washroom the washroom which is not clean could have the worst and the upbeat kitchen ever. Just wonder their food how would it look after seeing the pictures uploaded. Their coffee was just a a regular one didn’t even taste well. Would never come back again.

I love the atmosphere and it’s the perfect place to work on my laptop. Though workers don't know how to make coffee or maybe have the Cheapest coffee there. Man restroom looks like a trash place, seems like nobody is clean there for a few weeks. The table was very sticky, my laptop literary stuck to the table( not sure if they do not clean them or it just the table

This place is a fantastic bar! Halcyon has a wonderful selection of cocktails 🍹 and snacks 🥨! Definitely go for the 4-person S'mores - it comes as a large board circular with Graham Crackers, Marshmallows, Hershey Chocolate 🍫 Bars, and an open flame 🔥 for you to roast everything together! Ambience 🎶 is great, service is quick, and staff 👨‍🍳 is super friendly and welcoming! I wish I came here more often!

Delicious Coffee. I loved the Matcha Latte. We went early morning on a Saturday. There were not many customers at the time. Service was quick. Mid-century modern decor. We ordered avacado toast and breakfast tacos. It was good. They serve cocktails too.

Real cafe, with friendly staff. Warm hip feel, with a wrap around balcony, with cigar and smoking ok too, outside. I must say. I am charmed by this cafe, which serves alcohol and food, till late. Open 8 am to 2 am, 7 days. - Enjoy ;)

I've been a loyal patron of Halcyon for the past seven years, cherishing the countless hours spent in its welcoming and peaceful ambiance. Unfortunately, tonight was an exception to this pleasant experience. I understand the need for rules in an establishment, particularly one located in the bustling downtown area. I had taken my seat at a table in front of the counter where drinks are served, planning to finish the last two chapters of my book – a ritual I relish at my favorite reading spot in Austin, Halcyon. Although I hadn't placed an order yet, I assumed it wouldn't be an issue given my regular status. Sasha, who acknowledged recognizing me, approached and inquired if I intended to order something. I was taken aback by her implication that I should vacate if I didn't intend to order, a feeling I had sensed before she even spoke. I assured her of my intention to order and mentioned my long-standing patronage. To my surprise, she informed me that I had 10-15 minutes to place an order, essentially implying that I'd be asked to leave otherwise. Reluctantly, I got up, almost finishing the second-to-last chapter of my book, and went to place my order. This treatment was disheartening, as I had never encountered such a situation at Halcyon. Given Sasha's awareness of my regular visits and consistent purchases, I was baffled by the ordeal. I felt unfairly targeted, as if I were a loiterer or one of the individuals who sometimes disturb balcony patrons (which is why I usually sit inside). It's worth noting that I've observed others sitting without orders during previous visits, as Halcyon is a popular spot. However, on this particular evening, the establishment was far from busy. I asked Sasha for contact information, and she informed me that only an email was available, while I had hoped for a phone number as well. She explained the establishment's concern about individuals using the space without making purchases when others were looking to use it. Once again, her words lacked any apologetic tone and came across as condescending, despite her calm demeanor. My emotions shifted from a state of calm to clear frustration, as I had never been treated this way at Halcyon. I realized that Sasha might not be the one making these rules and was likely following instructions. Therefore, employees who recognize regular patrons should not be tasked with enforcing such rules. I told Sasha that there was no need for her to explain this to me, as her explanation lacked the professionalism and empathy I expected, especially given my visible distress. She referred to me as "babe," which I generally tolerate, but in this context, it was inappropriate. Her smirk while taking my order only exacerbated my frustration, as it seemed she found amusement in my dissatisfaction with her insistence on an immediate order, despite her knowledge of my patronage. I couldn't find any signage in prominent locations specifying the need to order within the first 15 minutes of being at Halcyon or a warning against entering without making a purchase. This experience felt entirely out of character for the Halcyon I've come to know and love. The owner has yet to respond to my email and it’s been over 24 hours.

The place I good spacious inside and also they have tables outside incase you want to enjoy.The service is quick.They do have coffee and cocktails and other drinks too.Also incase you are going post midnight their kitchen is closed but you can still get some muffins.A good place to sit and relax during non peak hours.

Place use to be convenient where I could at bring my dog with me as I made a purchase and sit on the patio. Today, they told me to keep my dog outside even when making a purchase. Food wasn't all that great, but the quickest place to get a cigar. They just lost my business forever today and the worst part I live right across from them. Plenty of other places to go to with better service, food, drinks, and smoking patio.

I liked that this place had a lot of available tables with power outlets. It feels a little grimey to me, though. Coffee was fine but only one size. Pastry selection not great.

Decided to stop by while waiting for a table at the nearby Roosevelt Room and had a very relaxing time. The vibe inside is definitely coffee shop first, bar second, and overall fairly chill. The seating space inside was large and accommodating, and drink service was very fast. I particularly liked the wall of liquors behind the bar, with a respectable selection regardless of where you go, and very respectable when considering the coffee shop environment. I'd recommend stopping by!

The staff has terrible manners, charges incorrectly for drinks, and is incredibly rude to all patrons. My drink order was messed up, and in spite when I asked to correct my spicy margarita they added an absurd amount of spice, which caused me to have bad reactions. For this I will never return to halcyon and I can never support this establishment again. Sadly, this is not my first bad experience with halcyon, as their mueller location has also overcharged me for drinks and added a tip to my tab that I did not authorize. I have emailed and called them in the past with no responses. I expect the management to take full responsibility for the terrible experiences I have had at halcyon establishments. All around Awful.

I randomly bumped into this place while I was looking for someplace with Wi-Fi to work peacefully. This place was just right for it. I found a couch and spent a good amount of 3 hours working from this place! It’s near a great location- parking might or might not be easy! I started with the turmeric ginger tea and ended with the chocolate expresso martini. Service was quick. It had both indoor and outdoor seating. Lot of different seating options! I would definitely visit again to try their snacks!

Solid cigar collection for a little spot. Great coffee. Great cocktails. Super unique vibe in Austin definitely check them out.

Great coffee and great drinks. Cool place to chill. Smores at the table was amazing and the seating options were cool too. My drink was the Persephone and it was so good!

A coffee shop and lunch spot by day, a cocktail bar and event space by night, what's not to love about Halcyon! The events they host and the queer vibes right on fourth street make this a great spot to meet up with friends to hang out and grab a drink. The tabletop smores are a super cute thing to share with friends or a date!

Visited Halcyon in the evening around 10:30pm after seeing a show. The place was pretty busy with quite a long line and the staff did their best to keep up. Service was good but honestly the music was a bit loud - difficult to hold a conversation without shouting. Cocktails were good but would have appreciated more nonalcoholic options.

Great coffee shop that opens early for this area. Cozy work space vibes during the day, fun at night. Chai coffee was great. Very good ginger turmeric tea, happily surprised it could be iced as well!

Super chill bar. They have smoores stations. I loved the espresso martinis.

This is a solid Cafe bar that serves the best chocolate espresso martini you could ever have. Apparently the s'mores are also the bomb if you are an aspiring diabetic. Tobacco-friendly, grab a cigar smoke on the porch like a proper civilized human without judgment. (If you enjoy short and sweet traveling cooking videos please visit CuisineQuest on YouTube!)

Wonderful coffee. Great staff and helpful. Parking was easy on early Saturday morning.

I think I found heaven. A great vibe and coffee with liquor. What more can you ask for? Wifi? That's here too! And great music and yes it has outdoor seating. Its a wrap around patio ❤️

So this place has been here for ever I feel & it looks it. The place could use a little polishing up. It round take much to make this place shine. Super chill vibe, they have done games you can play with like domino's battleship and cards. They have a full bar with some Cafe bites. I ordered their long Island coffee drink that has a limit of two. The first tasted pretty good and strong the second one I don't think the person knew how to make it. It tasted like regular Iced coffee. A $10 Iced coffee 😏 Hubby ordered an old fashioned with brandy he said it was pretty good. He also ordered a sandwich with a bag of potato chips. They have cute little smores kit if you want to have an interactive kind of experience. I've been to their newer location and have to say it's cozier here but a little less polished if you don't mind that than make sure to stop in

The staff was so friendly that I hate giving this rating. I came in early in the morning. I liked the idea of an early drink with breakfast, but decided on orange juice. Came from a carton probably used for screw drivers. Ordered a grilled cheese that was veggie. For the price, I'd want a nice big sandwich. The bread was flimsy thin or overly pressed. Not sure what the cheese selection was, but it did the bread no favors. If you want a full bar with your 7am breakfast, I know few other options currently. If you want a great breakfast, I'd steer away.

Cool and cozy coffee bar, the people who work here are so nice and inviting. We had the s’mores and the chai latte. Everything came out great and I’ll definitely be recommending this place to friends or family that might find themselves here in Austin. Just please be careful when sitting down on some of their chairs, very flimsy and some are coming apart
