    Busy road and a gem of south Austin. It is very cute inside and the coffee (iced americano) is not watered downed at all. Strong and flavorful. It is not acidic, it taste groundy. Fans of Colombian or Guatemalan will love the coffees here.

    Amazing coffee with tons of syrup options … it was so hard to pick just one and I will definitely be back to try more. Patio is super cute and relaxing especially on a beautiful day. They also share the space with East side king making it convenient to grab a bite and coffee together.

    This is a beautiful and rare gem of Austin that shines through and through with the cozy and welcoming atmosphere, amazing team and a wholesome, inclusive community that has everything you'd look for in your favorite local coffee shop. Locally roasted, organic and sustainable coffee (Texas Coffee Traders), cold drinks, local artists work on the walls, amazing patio, live music, dog friendly and absolutely immaculate vibes. You owe it to yourself to experience this South Austin original. It's easy to see why this place has been around for so long.

    Wanted to support this local business but it looks like it hasn't been cleaned in decades. There's a way to do "grunge" but keep it clean... there were gnats & flies everywhere, sticky seats and coffee stained walls. Please do a deep clean and I'll happily come back!

    Came in, greeted kindly, ordered a cold brew and picked up a Thunderbird bar. The facility is cozy and the there is an easy-going feel to the place. My order was handled promptly and received service with a smile. I will definitely come back and repeat. I recommend this place if you want an alternative to corporate coffee. That and I like smaller coffee houses. Thumbs up.

    Back patio is amazing, live music on Thursdays, lattes are too milky and not at all strong, tacos are good but often cold. I think this place could really do well. Wish their lattes weren’t so milky though.

    Calling attention to the poor parking situation around the coffee shop - parking lot that backs the establishment towing sign should include explicit information that parking is not for the establishment. The ambiguity is bad for its business and has obviously impacted customers on a few occasions as pointed out in other comments. My suggestion would be to advocate for clearer signs (something along the lines of “parking not for Irie Bean Coffee & Wine bar guests” as some other lots where towing is enforced do) in the actual parking lot because the measures in place now aren’t as obvious as one/establishment likes to think. The current signage clearly works in the favor of the towing company. Consider this on behalf of your future patrons.

    Love this place. Has my favorite ice matcha oat milk latte in Austin.

  • 5/5 Dean D. 1 year ago on Google
    A small-ish place, with talented baristas. Baked goods are nice, also beer available in bottles and cans. N/A drinks available, too. Nice patio... On Thursday evenings around 7 there's an open mic night; sit and listen or bring your guitar. 😎👍

    Best cold brew in Austin! Great space out back to sit and unwind, get some work done, or hang with friends.

    I went to irie Bean a lot over the many years it's been open and it's always been a great place. I just moved to Berlin, but whenever I'm back in the States I'm going to try to make it back to this place. Heard some great music, got an opportunity to play a few times, and the staff is excellent all around.

  • 3/5 Patrick M. 1 year ago on Google
    Okay - I actually like this place. Great coffee and there's usually a good atmosphere. My complaint is that the baristas will slam a metal cup/espresso tray (not exactly sure what it is) after making a latte, which makes a loud, abrupt noise. I'd compare it to someone popping a balloon randomly every 3 or 4 minutes. Not the vibe I want at a coffee shop. I'll keep coming back and change my review if they do something about this. It's pretty annoying.

  • 5/5 Robert C. 4 years ago on Google
    Good coffee. Friendly staff. Get there early if you want a breakfast taco !

  • 4/5 Saurabh M. 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoyed coffee beer in the morning along with fresh blue coffee and grass wheat latte. Barista was friendly. Backyard was good

  • 5/5 Sam G. 1 year ago on Google
    I tried their iced frappe today and it was the best frappe I’ve ever had. it had me on a caffeine high that I really needed to help me be productive at work I only drank half of a large size too I didn’t even realize it was strong because it didn’t work were like it but hands down best coffee I’ve ever had I’ll definitely keep coming back

    Love this place! Great patio in the back that is quiet and perfect for social distancing. Cold brew coffee is super and I would definitely recommend the breakfast tacos. Friendly staff 10/10

    Enjoyed the latte here. They only have paper/plastic cups, so that was a bummer but nice vibe otherwise. Not sure about the “organic/fair trade” claim - saw nothing in here to indicate that was the case (coffee bags didn’t say it, and some of the coffee flavor pumps were Ghirardelli, but they did have organic bananas- so who knows). You have a selection of hot and cold coffee, beer and wine as well as some food, mostly prepackaged. They have outdoor picnic tables as well with umbrellas. Everyone but us was on their computer so seems like the place to come to get some work done. We dug the music they had playing and it wasn’t too loud (weekday morning). Think they have live music as well. Give it a try!

    Coffee was too strong for me and almond creamer very blah! Lol it’s ok I still give 5 stars for nice patio and friendly attentive service! I will try something else from their menu next time 😁👍

    Dope little spot is a lot better than Starbucks that’s for sure!
