Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors

As you can now tell by my reviews, I am a self proclaimed coffee connoisseur. But with that, means that I am extra critical of espresso flavor.I believe that the espresso quality at figure 8 is one of the best in the city. The espresso is smooth, perfectly extracted, not sour or bitter, and perfectly demonstrates the notes that it intended to have. The cappuccino had the perfect espresso to milk ratio. My iced lavender latte had a perfect amount of lavender syrup that blended well with the espresso to make a delightful and bright latte.The lines can get long because the storefront is small, especially on a weekend morning. Wait it out tho-- I promise it's worth! I don't get to visit Austin that much anymore, so because of this, I am very selective of which coffee shops I visit every time I go back. Figure 8 has now joined this elite list of mine, and I am so excited to return.

Figure 8 is a solid local spot for coffee! I have been here twice and always feel welcomed by the friendly baristas.There is a good amount of seating inside and outside and also free wifi for getting remote work done. They do fill up quickly however and are tightly packed. I also appreciate the free street parking nearby. The iced lattes are not too sweet and well balanced.

They were open on Thanksgiving day and we stopped by for a coffee break. Tried the seasonal pecan pie latte and chai latte. Both were great! They make their chai in house and it was one of the best in house ones I've tried - very well balanced. The outdoor seating areas are cute. Very limited seating space inside.

Cute shop! Very flavorful espresso. Would definitely come again!Tip: street parking in the neighborhood behind the shop. Easy enough to find!

Coffee was delicious! The service was fast. The outdoor seating had a great view of downtown. The inside is very relaxing and a great place to study.

Excellent ice latte with oat milk. Inside tables were full, but we were able to get a table in the shade. Tacos were good. How to be able to visit again?

Was in the neighborhood and decided to check this place out after so long having it on my list.Such a lovely coffee shop experience with a nice outdoor seating and warm/rustic interior. They also sell coffee beans & wines + a few pastries options. They only have 5-6 small tables inside and can get busy, so take note of that.I had a latte and it was tasty - one of the better lattes I have had in Austin. Coffee does not taste burnt or watery. Service was swift and the barista was sweet, I also bought beans to go. Highly recommend checking this place out on a nice day and just sit outside :)

Figure 8 was by far the best roaster we tried during our trip to Austin. We visited 5 different coffee roasters and theirs stood out for not only the quality of drinks they're handing out, but the service, and beans. I ordered a cortado while the hubby ordered his usual iced vanilla latte with almond milk. My cortado was very smooth, had a nice small head on it, and didn't have any bitterness to it. It was perfect. My husband's latte was super nutty and the syrup was light, not overly sweet and delicious. We bought a bag of beans to take home, which we have yet to grind and brew but the different flavor profiles they sell are nice. I picked the Agua Bendita which has notes of citrus, nuts, and chocolate so I can't wait to crack it open.

Very cute atmosphere! Fun music and the matcha was pretty good. Would def come again :)

Definitely a place for real coffee. If you're looking for the fru fru, super sweetened options then this ain't it. The menu is pretty concise. It would be better for them to have the add the add ons posted somewhere, instead of relying on the barista to cite them off the top of their head. Our drinks were just okay. Nothing to boast about. The place had a nice quiet vibe to it. Kind of a whole in the wall feel. I'm curious about all the wine they had. I should've asked more questions about that.
