    This cafe is nestled inside a bike store and has a wide variety of drinks. I had a chai tea latte and scone in the morning and both were tasty. Everyone was friendly and there are plenty of places to work on a laptop both inside and outside. Wifi was great! Stayed past lunch and got a golden calf smoothie which was rich and creamy.

    For Friday date night dinner I made a reservation at the Juan Pelota. When we reached at the restaurant we were seated by our server good with menus and water. On Friday night it was a busy restaurant and whole restaurant was almost full. By browsing through the menu we ordered Moscow Mule for the drink, for the food we ordered Potstickers, Picasso Roll, Bama Roll and for desert we ordered Carrot Cake. We had to wait for 10 minutes before we got our potstickers. The potstickers were delicious and tasty. Loved them. After we got our rolls both Picasso Roll and Bama Roll. The rolls were delicious. We loved the Bama Roll. It was delicious and one of the best we had. After dinner we got the carrot cake. The cake was big and delicious. After the food it was difficult to eat the carrot cake. We togo the carrot cake to our home. The restaurant, service, decor and food was amazing. Loved the restaurant.

    Coffee flavor is standard (OK), bakery selection was null, I like to drink coffee with a croissant but well I had to just take the coffee. I drank it in the place, but I got a disposable cup instead of a proper coffee cup, anyways It is ok but I would not come back.

    Really tasty coffee. I had the Cortada and my husband had the cappacino. The cinnamon roll was amazing. Really kind staff and very friendly. Great quiet place to read or visit with people. Pop in down here

    The most perfectly dialed in espresso I’ve found! They are meticulous and precise. Well balanced and smooth. Atmosphere was great and staff very friendly. Highly recommended going to this coffee specialist!

    The cute coffee shop along the way on the Shoal Creek Trail. You can drink coffee, take a break and charge your phone.

    Definitely one of the most iconic places in whole Austin. A huge eclectic shop in a relatively quite corner of downtown. They make great hot & iced coffees, smoothies. No validation for parking so you either should pay premium rear parking or find a spot around. I’m not into biking but this is probably an oasis for those who are 🚲

    Amazing coffee, yet to try the mushroom coffee here. Love the vibe of the place and the outdoor seating space.

    This is not only an iconic spot in Austin, but also they make great coffee and the service is excellent. I’ve never seen so many bikes in my life!

    I recently visited Juan Pelota cafe and I was thoroughly impressed by my experience. The cafe has a unique and charming atmosphere with a quirky and playful decor that sets it apart from other coffee shops. The staff was friendly and attentive, making me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The coffee was top-notch, with a rich and bold flavor that was perfectly brewed. I was also impressed by the cafe's food offerings, with a menu that features fresh and tasty options. Overall, I would highly recommend Juan Pelota cafe to anyone looking for a great cup of coffee and a memorable dining experience.

    Great place with extremely friendly and helpful service. The cafe is a small part of the bike shop. I got an iced oat milk matcha. It’s refreshing in the warm Austin weather. The shop does smell like rubber from the fresh bike tires, so I suggest drinking outside if you’re sensitive to smells.

    The coffee shop is inside of a bike shop. A lot of Cyclists come get their fuel here after training. Came here after a run. The matcha was delicious. Nice outside seating. Staff was really nice and helpful.

    Nice coffee shop inside the bike shop. Staff are excellent and the cookies are good. Beer selection is good didn't have any coffee.

    This was such a cool place. Great people here and the energy within the bike shop work perfectly. We will definitely be back once in Austin again. Good coffee and good selections of snacks and tacos. Also we brought our dog here, who received a bunch of attention.
