Plaza Colombian Coffee

Checked out Plaza Colombian and was pleasantly surprised by their fantastic, colorful covered patio. They have fast counter service. The breakfast arepa with egg and cheese was incredible, perfectly rich and satisfying. I also got the Honey Cinnamon Iced Latte which was more of a shaken frappe, but was delicious all the same. A spot well worth revisiting.

I was only in this place for a few moments, but seeing it's potential and enjoying what of it I DID partake of, was really pretty awesome.It's a really spacious place that seems to have a capability for doing different kinds of entertaining from early morning, pastries and coffees to nighttime cocktails and dinners with a full band, DJ with lighting and all of that. I must admit that when I came in the young lady behind the counter, was so busy, stocking and prepping that she didn't notice me come in nor hear me when I initially called he, but I gave her some grace considering that..1. She was doing a job and 2. She was very sweet once she got on the ball. But most of all 3. The pastry that I had (something completely unknown to me) and the chai that I got were both awesome.Glad I discovered it, just wish I'd discovered it sooner. Olè

The positives: Solid coffee, full bar, the decor/art, really nice patio area, and overall vibes of the place. The downside: The staff isn't exactly the friendliest, it is quite warm inside, and the food/pastries are very okay. With that being said, if you're looking to grab a solid coffee and take it to go, or use their drive thru, this is a solid option. Probably wouldn't sit down and go for a meal.

My favorite dirty chai latte in Austin! I love it so much! This is a really cute place to work remote from! Great coffee, exceptional empanadas and fun atmosphere. You literally feel like you've been transported to another vacation spot.

There is so much potential for this place and it's such a shame the staff really dampers your experience. From my in-person experience to a follow-up over the phone, the staff gives off an energy to where they can't be bothered and very rude. You can access their reserved parking lot or park your bicycle at their heart-shaped bike stands, and take advantage of their indoor cafe seating or outdoor daiquiri bar area. There isn't much AC properly circulating so be wary of it, but they do offer industrial fans.The coffee was quite delicious and they have a full bar to enjoy. It looks like they are all about the arts and you can admire the local artwork and live shows as they have a stage present.My pastelito with guava and queso was super flaky on the outside but the filling was literal rectangle cuts of the fruit and cheese and hard. Kinda took away from the flavor honestly.I'll be back in a few months and perhaps by then it'll be a few different folks working.

A hidden gem on S Congress! Located littler further south, away from the hustle and bustle, is this cute Colombian coffee shop, bar, restaurant and entertainment venue. I went to work remote and grab a coffee but ended up getting food as well because the menu looked so good(I'm a sucker for empanadas). Thoughts? Good for working remote if that's what you're looking for but will say the music is a little loud so definitely not good for taking meetings but strong WiFi. The coffee is solid with a diverse menu and their chicken empanadas? Delicious!They also have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and they have a drive thru! I also see that they have bachata nights with live music. Will definitely come back to experience it and for their empanadas too of course.

This place is amazing. The decorations and ambiance are so fun and festive. The coffee is truly amazing and they have a drive thru! I don't know many locally owned places with a drive thru and I love that aspect. The breakfast food and the dinner are fantastic. The staff is very friendly and helpful if you're not sure what to order. I love visiting this place it's my little treat on my way to work.

My partner and I had a dance practice in South Austin so we decided to stop by this place for a quick Colombian bite since we were in the area. We also met up with a friend who enjoys snacking and grabbing coffee here since she lives nearby. The inside this place is like a cafe where you can get some coffee while you study. The outside has multiple levels of seating and its sandy, an outdoor bar and has more of a tiki vibe. They also have live music and salsa dancing on certain nights. This place is unique because they can have a coffee shop by day and an outdoor night party scene by night.The Sexy Colada was delicious and I enjoyed the presentation. I also liked the taste of the beef arepa and the empanada. My family is Colombian so I'll say that even though it doesn't necessarily taste like a homemade arepa or empanada, if you're looking for a quick snack then this will hit the spot.

I went here years ago and forgot the name, so when I drove past Plaza Colombian Coffee the other day I immediately decided to turn in because I've thought about it for years. I ordered the empanadas trio for $6 (happy hour special) and picked up some freshly ground coffee beans to enjoy at home. The steak empanada had a satisfying, savory flavor, but my favorite was the chicken--cheesy, stewed chicken filling that was incredibly flavorful. Their fresh, house-made sauce tied the flavors together nicely. The employees were friendly and patient, giving me plenty of time to explore the menu. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, along with a drive-thru if you're in a rush. The interior is colorful and nice, with a stage for live music and other events.

I had to write about Plaza Columbia again because I am addicted! They have the best espresso martini. Their happy hour is awesome with food specials. This is a great spot for coffee and pastry as well. You have to try the Playa burger and if you are a fan of ceviche, they have a really good one.
