    Great spot for a coffee and pastry! I had a delicious Americano and my girlfriend had a cappuccino. Get the coffee cake! I just wish I had a bike so I could use all of their services.

    The cold latte with almond milk was delicious. Also the croissant ❤️. The staff was also very nice.

    Wonderful. Unique spot. Great Third Wave coffee. Very nice baristas and tons of outdoor seating in the front and patio seating out back. Their inside is closed which was a little sad but the patio was very nice. Great croissant as well!

    Great coffee, people, and vibe. All the baristas are friendly. a good amount of seating inside and out. They also usually have pastries and breakfast tacos from a local spot.

    Coffee was great! Service was fast and friendly! Super cool vibe in this unique shop. I’m definitely coming back next time I’m in town :)

    The Best Coffee I have had in America! Most American coffee is plain old drip, full of sickly flavoured syrup sweeteners. Flat Track Coffee made me the best Mocha I have had in a long time and the best coffee I have had since arrived in Texas a month ago! My wife, baby, toddler and I called in on our way through Austin. The staff were very warm and friendly. We didn't have to wait long for our coffees and croissant, even during a busy Sunday morning rush. Cool setting next to the cycle workshop with heavy timber tables and there's merchandise available for purchase.

    I really enjoy flat track, the pastries are great, the atmosphere is nice, the baristas are usually really kind but the tea options are a bummer! I order a chai if I go and every time it’s really just a cup of milk with some cinnamon on top and barely any tea, even if I ask for it strong.

    The cafe is half bike store half cafe. I like the vibes. It's kinda dark but still bright at the same time. There's a few long tables and some couches that got good back support. It's also not cold but perfectly room temperature here! They have two free unsecured WiFi networks and outlets around the walls (except not at the couch). I stopped drinking coffee, but my friends ordered a hot cappuccino and iced latte, which they said were decent but not really that good. The capp could've used more milk/foam and the latte was a bit diluted by the ice. The coffee was not too acidic or bitter, but not smooth in flavor. I guess that means it's just normal coffee. The buckwheat almond financier was quite sweet, but it is a pastry that's known to be like that. There's some parking in front and side and on the street. I'll come back for the vibes, and perhaps try something else.

    It’s a bit small, but if there’s room to hangout, it’s awesome. Drop off the bike for service, have a coffee, bliss. Latte’s are great, Mochas, are great, but that’s all I’ve had here. People are kind and happy to help.

    Great spot for two wheel aficionados to enjoy coffee and conversation. I really enjoyed looking over all the gravel bikes in the sister shop while my Cortado was being made.

    Great place to work from home. Some of my favorite aspects: - the dine-in mugs - relaxed, relatively quiet environment - plenty of outlets - vegan food options - above average Americano I'll definitely be returning when I'm in need of a good WFH spot in east Austin.

    Cute little coffee shop attached to a bike store. The staff was nice, there are a few tables to get some work done, and their blueberry iced tea was so good!! They also had some pastries to choose from as well. Will definitely be back :)

    Great bike and coffee shops with a balance between both. My table mate was an old decommissioned drill press that framed in the wood grain table top nicely. Laid back vibe with attentive staff. Good cup of coffee to deliver a nice morning moment.

    Coffee shop in a bike store. Just a few tables inside and on the front patio but the back patio is definitely where it’s at. Staff was accommodating and made me an off-menu iced pour over. Tasty! We were hoping to have breakfast sandwiches here on a Sunday, but there was only pastries and one taco.

    Coffee and a bike shop. Ordered a Peru pour over and a Cortada. Coffee is delicious and the service is A+++! They had a issue with their machine and it took a few extra mins on the pour over. They offered to refund our order ❤️ but we denied. Great service! Also have a selection of pastries and doughnuts that look amazing. Will return!

    A very relaxed coffee shop that feels tucked away, with exactly the kind of vibe you'd want from a place that also services bikes. Service was great, coffee was good enough quality for the two times I went. I would mostly go for the easy vibes, nice staff, and a bag of coffee to go afterwards (though you can find their coffee bags at most local stores).

  • 5/5 Joshua S. 2 years ago on Google
    Pretty nice. The combination of a bike store and coffee shop is innovative, plus also there are other items available for purchase unrelated to either bikes or coffee, such as clothing and blankets and water bottles. There's only one restroom with a single toilet, though, which is not the most convenient thing. The outdoor seating is decent.

  • 5/5 Maggie B. 2 years ago on Google
    Latest obsession! I come here at least once a week for their vegan Mexican Mocha and vegan kolaches - both super tasty! They have several vegan kolache options but my favorite is the cheddar, jalapeño & sausage. Plenty of seating and the staff is always friendly.

  • 3/5 Francesco B. 6 months ago on Google
    Nice hipster coffee shop with good vibes. Coffee is great quality. Been there a few times. Workers are not the most friendly people you can meet. It's sad to be charged additional 50 cent for each coffee to-go when they use the same disposable cup if you just consume it inside. The girl with spectacles didn't care.

  • 5/5 Julie K. 2 years ago on Google
    Good coffee with a chill quirky atmosphere— a great spot for bike junkies and coffee addicts alike. But my favorite detail was in the bathroom. They have this little match box that is cute, suitable, and handy— brings a smile to the face :) Overall, would definitely stop by here the next time I’m in Austin.

  • 5/5 Blake Y. 5 months ago on Google
    Big fan of what Flat track and cycle east have going on here, was a perfect way to start our first day of our week long bike trip. Cortados were spot on and the drip was excellent as always.

    Friendly service, some seating indoors and out front. Cool atmosphere inside a bike shop, industrial feel. Quality coffee (got a cortado with oat milk).
