Austin named No. 1 coffee city in the U.S.

AUSTIN, Texas — Culinary magazine Food & Wine named Austin the top U.S. city for coffee in the nation.

The city seems to have a coffee shop on every corner, with some operating out of unique locations.

Mercado Sin Nombre in East Austin brings a Mexico City street vibe with cempasúchil flowers and other colorful decor, a Coca-Cola brand menu sign and milk crates doubling as tables. Walter’s Tavern on South Congress Avenue operates out of a historic Victorian home and A Hole Coffee literally serves drinks out of a hole in the wall.

From creative concepts to beloved classics, shops like Leona, which recently opened in Sunset Valley, Desnudo — serving up masterful lattes with ingredients like miso paste and fruit purees — and Cherrywood Coffeehouse are some of the city’s most popular haunts for a cup of joe.

“The sheer variety of cultural influences, creative drink options, and accompanying food choices make Austin’s one of the most vibrant coffee scenes in the country,” Food & Wine said.
