Idlewild Coffee

Ever since Idlewild Coffee closed their doors in what was once Native Hostel, I've been thinking about them and it finally dawned on me that I had yet to visit their original location. I had a friend in town and decided we had to make a trek to this location. This is not a sit down and work coffee shop, this is more of a pop-up coffee stand with gourmet pastries. They have two or three stools to sitdown but honestly you should walk around the store and see what catches your eye. I just love the juxtaposition of a skate shop yet the refinement of a carefully crafted latte within reach.The lady working the stand was super nice and they even feature drinks of the month. They have inhouse syrups so make sure to ask about them!

We went there based on the Yelp photos... looked like a coffee speakeasy. Apparenlty, that's their previous location. This newer location is still located in the No Comply skate shop, but it's more of a coffee stand with a few tables. The coffee menu is simple - lattes, cold brew, espresso, etc... but they did have a few specialty drinks (like a strawberry matcha) and flavors (like lavender). I opted for an oat-milk latte; my friend got the cold brew with lavender. Unique, huh?! And he shopped around for shoes while we waited on our drinks.They do have wifi, so we squeezed in a few minutes of work. There's metered street parking; the nearby garage is for students, but not sure if it's also opeened to the public.

100% perfection! This coffee was amazing! We got 4 drinks and each person loved it, no complaints! I got a dirty chai latte with oatmilk - the chai was subtle, not too strong, sweet, and creamy!The actual location was so cool! The coffee shop is inside of a skate shop, and looked so lux. The location was clean, and spacious. There isn't much space to sit, there were a few spaces, but not much.The staff was great and welcoming!There is a parking garage behind the shop. I was a little confused, wasn't sure if i could park there. It says students and faculty parking, but the gates were open. We parked since we were only going to be there for a few minutes.I don't live in Austin, but when i come back, I will for sure make a trip here! Perfect coffee!

Came here with friends on a Sunday afternoon after watching the game at Shoal Creek Saloon down the street. Super cute coffee shop that's inside the skate shop (nocomply). Ordered a cold brew and some ube cookies (supplied by purply) and everything was amazing! The cold brew was the perfect strength, cookies were not super sweet and soft and it was just nice to walk around the shop and look at the merch. If you skateboard, even better lol. They have a fridge of some drinks too if you don't want coffee like coconut water. The guy behind the counter was super friendly and efficient, especially since it was just him helping a group of 8 people. Not a ton of seating though so would go here for to go coffee.

Popped in for a quick coffee and was not disappointed. The shop had a really cool atmosphere and the person that made my drink was very nice. I got an iced latte with oat milk and it was fabulous. Will visit again next time I'm in town.

UPDATE: This great little shop that had to close in its old skate shop location has a new outpost in the SXSW building! I am thrilled! The building is located between Lavaca and Guadalupe and 14th St. They have a limited menu for now of teas and coffees, and a few baked goods, but I'm told they will soon be adding new items, such as grab and go breakfast selections. This is wonderful in this food and coffee desert near the capital.

It's a very small car bar inside a skate shop. I got an iced vanilla latte and it was decent but could have been a touch sweeter. There is nowhere within the shop to really sit and hang out, so this is more of a to-go coffee experience. It's fine if you're in the area, but it's not somewhere I would specifically drive to for coffee or meet friends there unless we wanted to shop around in whatever skate store it's inside of.

Great tasting coffee but a bit slowish - took about 10minutes from when I joined the line to get my coffee.

So good, i love this spot!!!!!! Great coffee great vibes, love the coldbrew and the baristas

Relaxed vibe. Nice people, great coffee. Service was thoughtful but fast and friendly.
