    Hands down, the most knowledgeable friendliest staff in all of Austin. Fresh roasted coffee beans - roasted fresh daily! Excellent inventory of supplies and anything you could want pertaining to coffee. Why heck- you can even buy an espresso machine there! Best In Texas. Five star service. Would definitely recommend.

    Everything a great coffee spot should be -- nothing more, nothing less. Fantastic coffee, roasted here, and sold and served with no attitude by a delightful staff. While it's not upscale (because they are so focused on roasting) they serve fresh coffee and pastries and have a chill seating area outside. My favorite so far is the simple and tasty pour over with the dark Peruvian. But they can do just about everything, including cappuccinos, flavored syrups, and a regular 12-ounce drip for $2.50 a cup. So it's all "bean" good, man!

    Really nice people and really delicious coffee. If they aren’t busy I ask them to make my drink fancy and they do a great job. They have a large variety of flavored syrups. SO MANY different kinds of beans and coffee accessories for sale!

    I was completely floored by the top-shelf quality of every single loose leaf tea I purchased here. I have never had such flavorful and strong Earl Grey before. Did I mention it’s also incredibly affordable ??? The Silver Needle tea is so high quality you can still feel the fuzz on the tea leaves. Absolutely incredible. +1 extra star for the incredibly nice staff. 6/5 stars.

    From a block away I could smell the coffee roasting which was a great start. The dark roast drip coffee was really good. They had 4 other drip offerings and at $2 for a 16oz, it's a steal these days. They had a huge selection of coffee beans to go (probably about 30 different kinds and roasts). Overall a really great coffee roaster for whatever gets you going.

    Excellent cold brew! Partner liked his pour over and how he could pick out his beans. Noticeably friendly and helpful staff, quick service, will be back!

    My favorite coffee company since I found them at Vitamin Cottage/Natural Grocers many many years ago. This is a place for real coffee lovers like me-all about roast and beans, no auger nor creamer. I couldn’t wait to move to TX from CO to enjoy their coffee without waiting for my friends from Austin to deliver me some! I do enjoy their knowledge about their products and sample coffee, so I always buy extra, something new in addition to my long time favorites. Great owner, coffee and employees! Baked goods are pretty good too!

    I have a great deal of nostalgia related to this coffee company. Coffee Traders had a coffee shop in the RLM building at the University of Texas. When I started attending UT in 2018, I had a habit of grabbing a cup of coffee before attending class (almost on a daily basis). In all honesty, to this very day, I do not recall having a cup of coffee more flavorful than the ones served at the RLM coffee shop. After the pandemic came, my classes became fully virtual and I came back to Houston. Upon my return to University for the fall 2021 semester, I went to RLM and saw the coffee shop had closed. I had been saving my punch card for a free cup of coffee for nearly 2 years which I could not redeem. After graduating in 2022, I became aware that coffee traders were still in business. Last week I placed my order and it got delivered today. Taking a sip out of my cup really brought back some very pleasant memories. Will definitely be reordering coffee from here again.

    Is this the best coffee shop in austin? Yes. Seriously it’s the best coffee shop. Price is reasonable. Staff is super friendly. In fact every customer in line is friendly. They just attract those type of people. Great selection of beans, drinks, pastry from sour duck. Side note: My dog loves coming here too. They don’t skimp out on milk bones either, they serve them knotted bones not the biscuits. Grade: A+

    Excellent service, very detailed. In high demand, and very worth the wait. If you have an espresso machine bringing it to Texas Coffee Traders is a great idea. Once every year or two, sacrifice the couple of weeks to get your machine purring like a kitten. Joe and Los do great work. Very much appreciated.

    Was so happy to find this place. Wow! The selection for roasting and beans is gigantic! The coffee is AMAZING! I am bringing home the lone star Texas blend. They make their cold brew with it and it was 10/10. Will be coming back if we ever head back to Tx. Veteran owned. Window and inside ordering. Super friendly staff and free stickers!!!

    So good! They have so many options for coffee and a special fall menu you can order off. I got the cold brew fall special. The staff is super nice. Love the patio, it’s so green and had such pretty plants and cute eclectic furniture They suggest a mask to enter the actual shop but one of our party didn’t have a mask so we couldn’t go in but I really want to go and see the teas and coffees in there! Also the whole area smells of lovely coffee, and they even have some bakery options you can order

    This is the place for you if you love coffee. They serve coffee on site but you can also grab bags to go. They have a large variety from all over the world. and Many of the local restaurants and businesses get their coffee here. There is outdoor seating in case you'd like to enjoy your coffee there. The staff are both friendly and knowledgeable and more than willing to help you decide on the perfect blend for your palette. This is old Austin so funny expect anything fancy. TCT is located next to Saltillo Plaza so you can easily get there by train or bus.

    By far my favorite roaster in Austin. Staffs are knowledgeable, ask them for their recommendations, you cannot go wrong!

    Best coffee I have ever had. We got drip dark roast with cream and a french press light roast with cream. Drip was really good. The french press was amazing and is the reason why I am leaving this review.

    My favorite place for coffee. Everyone there is so friendly and the coffee is delicious! Stop by to get coffee for home and get a yummy drink while you're there.

    Best tasting coffee I've had in Austin! Also, great coffee beans for at home use. Super kind staff. My new favorite shop! 10/10

    Great lattes - well balanced shots. More acidic and citrus-y coffees served here. Shakerato is a bit of a novelty but was nice overall. Walk up window had quick service and the staff inside were incredibly friendly. Definitely give this place a look.
