Flat Track Coffee

A friend referred me to this little coffee shop.
It’s cute and the staff was nice.
The cold brew was strong and aaahhmanzing!

A little coffee shop on the east side. Coffee is yummy! I got the Mexican Mocha has a little spicy kick in a good way recommended by Courtney. I got mine iced. Small coffee bar with good seating and a bike shop attached. Everyone is super friendly! I will def be back.

Top notch cold brew. Friendly service. Amazing cactus tacos. Best, customer service, pretension free bike shop right there. Next time I’m in Austin, I’ll be back

Great vibe and setup. Get some coffee, get your bike fixed, make friends, get inspired. Order the mexican mocha if you like it on the sweeter side.

Stopped in here on a whim because I’m always down for a cup of coffee. This store sells bikes and coffee. It looks like they were currently going through some remodeling or construction so it was a bit loud inside with the work going on. I decided to try the Mexican Mocha which is always one of my favorite coffees and they did a great job with it. There is parking in front of the store. Hopefully when the remodeling and construction is done there will be seats inside and somewhere to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee and possibly check out the bikes. Right now there is a lot of dust so it is more of a grab and go. If you are feeling like a cup of coffee after some La BBQ, DeeDee, Bufalina, etc, I would definitely recommend you give these guys a shot or better yet let them sell you a shot or 2 of espresso.

Amazing friendly service. Great coffee. Great ingredients. I’m out of town and they fixed my bike and drank coffee at the same time. Overall bad ass.

Good coffee & friendly barista who gave us several suggestions for things to explore in Austin. Free coffee w/​bag of beans purchase if you check in on Unilocal– one souvenir down!

Love this place! We are new to Austin and have been working on exploring the city and trying out locally owned businesses. The entry is cute and quaint and the inside is perfect. It is right in the middle of an up and coming neighborhood. We were able to park on the street right by the entrance but there is also a large parking lot right by the entrance if street parking is full. There is a small coffee bar inside that 1 or 2 people can sit at. Other than that, it is just a small espresso machine, am extremely friendly coffee maker and an iPad to check people out on. I love how simple it is.
This is definitely a place for coffee enthusiasts who don’t need a bunch of syrup and flavoring put in there coffee. We had we both a Mexican mocha which was amazing. The flavoring was just right but it did not overpower the flavor of the actually espresso. The gentlemen working was so nice and was kind enough to discuss places we should make sure to go to and how to handle SXSW.
All in all we had a great experience. Sometimes these small local places can feel awkward and uncomfortable to anyone who isn’t a regular, but this was the exact opposite. Side note: the caramel they had as a treat that you could buy was amazing. We will definitely be back.

Walk from the four seasons is short but a bit sketch– that being said — do it! Coffee was delish and the chocolate (gluten free/​vegan) donut was out of this world! Wasn’t expecting such a good little treat!
No frills little joint reminds me of Seattle. Not to mention the mugs here are insanely cute. Getting a few for the road. Love love love!

Delicious coffee, on par with Cuvee in my opinion (they have my favorite beans in town!). Reasonably priced, $ 3 for an Americano. The coffee is such high quality, an 8oz cup was perfect. Simple menu makes it easy to order. I had no trouble finding the place, since I mapped it with the Unilocal app on my way, and saw the «Coffee» sign above the door. I planned to take my coffee to go, so I had no issue with the small seating area.

So… this is pretty much as hipster as you get. Across cesar chavez (on the south side. the south side) you walk in this tiny store attached to a book (?)shop or something and you initially question whether you’re in the right place.
Yes you are.
They serve espresso based drinks only, so if you’re expecting some 47 flavors of cappafrappa sugar crap with ten million options of coffee flavored sugar, don’t come here. If you genuinely like the taste of a perfect espresso pour and a cappuccino with the little heart design with it’s cuteness only to be exceeded by it’s taste, don’t miss out.
So for the time you stand their awkwardly feeling judged and not quite hipster enough to belong there… the drink will be worth it.

This is my favorite coffee in Austin. Super strong, smooth and tasty. It’s the first coffee I’ve ever been able to drink black. No bitter after taste and the aroma is delightful.
Don’t be discouraged by the small space, go on in and make a friend. Brew&Brew down the street serves their coffee too so you can sit and chill.
Try the vegan donut too, it’s delicious!
They recently completed their Kickstarter goal and will be building a roasting facility and serving out of a bigger space.
Their merchandise is also very stylish so grab a shirt and camp mug!

The most hipster coffee you will find in all of Austin.
No seriously. Everything from the space, the walls, the décor to the barista and the regular patrons. This place has hipster steaming out of its ears. Everyone was friendly although the resident dog in a basket was not so happy with my friend.
Be aware this is not a hang out coffee spot. You grab your coffee, and you’re out of here. The coffee is incredible. But this is not a dwellers spot.

Flat Track coffee is very strong, rich, and delicious. The barista made my latte with care and love (maybe??? I like to think so). I also tried their vegan (but are they really) chocolate donuts which were paired nicely with my coffee.
But I took off stars because this place was really hard to find, had no place to park, and no place to sit!!! It’s a teeny little hipster shop and catered more for the grab-​n-​go customers, affirmed by their simple menu. The place doesn’t seem all that inviting and has some creepy artwork on the side of the wall with jail looking doors… Idk yo I would not come here to study or have an intense gossip-​filled conversation. Just get your coffee and leave.

Great coffee and VEGAN DONUTS! YEA! Bring on the vegan stuff and you’ll have me there! I’ll definitely be back for some more coffee. Almond milk and soy milk are always a bonus!

This isn’t the type of place you would go to do homework or read a book (although you can), but rather a place to go sit, drink a coffee, and make conversation with anyone that walks through the door or the baristas of this intimate coffee shop. Small and hard to find, but once you do find it, you will be happy you did. Great almond milk lattes, and mini GF, vegan donuts to dunk! Not to mention, very pet-​friendly, and there is usually a cute dog hanging out somewhere in the midst.

Let me start by saying this place is THE FREAKING MECCA OF HIPSTER COFFEE SHOPS! I mean that in the best way possible. Every morning you can see hipsters making their pilgrimage to Flat Track. Bearded men and tattooed women alike bicycle, scooter, and hike by the droves to flat track for their daily dosage of caffeine; you can set your watch by it.
Their popularity is no coincidence neither. Flat Track has incredible attention to detail. They roast their own beans and the proof is in the pudding — they serve some of the best coffee in town. I typically order a cappuccino — their espresso is done well and their latte art is always on point.
My only complaint is that this place can sometimes feel a little too «scene-​y». Its a tiny little shop and everyone seems to know one another. My suggestion is where a jean or leather jacket and strike up conversation with the barista real quick, before they realize you’re not part of the club ;) .
But in all seriousness, the coffee is great. The people there are nice. I only wish it was a little bit larger space and felt more inviting.

Adorable teeny place, perfectly cute inside for everything you need in a coffee joint.
Cute inside, perfect décor, a little motorcycle attitude, really cute outside mural with bar seating and stools.
Lovely, warm service even though I was a tourist.
I had slightly better (and bigger) lattes elsewhere, but this was such a solid place, I do recommend if you’re a coffee addict like I am, in Austin, and want to get out of the grind.

Tiny, «minimalist» coffee shop… No where to sit, except a bar with four stools. Like the décor, though. Coffee was tasty. Barista was friendly and very hipster. Not a good place to do work, though. Better for grab and go. The grinds are made in-​house!

Don’t blink as you’re driving down Cesar Chavez or you’ll miss Flat Track. The small storefront can easily be missed but the drinks are fantastic and always fresh, including the drip. I tried the Americano and was surprised. Small package, lots of punch. Almost like the Barista that served me. Good service, good coffee, reasonable prices. More than enough said.
