Barley Bean Coffee

Good coffee, maybe one of the best in Austin, very clean, friendly staff

One of my favorite coffee shops in town. It's always comfortable and welcoming and rarely too crowded that I can't find a table. The food is AMAZING and their happy hour prices make it that much better. The coffee is good, but a little heavy and intense for my taste...but everything else about this place draws me in and I end up ordering it anyway.

Baristas were polite & friendly, interior is stylish, comfy and nicely laid out. Outlets are abundant and WiFi is fast. Vegan tacos were delicious and the hazelnut latte even more so. What more does a person need from a coffee shop in the 21st century?

Very nice cafe. Parking is in back. I only bought an ice brew and it's delicious. Full coffee/ espresso bar with 1/2 and 1/2 and other condiments available. The menu looked really good I including a nice beer selection. It was also clean. The staff was really polite.

Damn good food, soup, and chill music!
Chey changes my day like eeeer time she makes me food. OBSESSED

We were visiting Austin for the weekend and on our way out were looking for a good cup of coffee and a solid breakfast sandwich. Barley Bean provided two good cups of coffee, specifically a lavender vanilla latte and a caramel latte. So I definitely say show up for the coffee, but don’t waste your money on the breakfast. We ordered the avocado toast and the sandwich #1. All breakfast items come with scrambled eggs, but these scrambled eggs are not fresh eggs. They’re the scrambled egg you find at a Hampton Inn or LaQuinta breakfast. The powdered eggs that when made look like yellow sponge bits. The sandwich #1 said eggs came with green peppers, the peppers aren’t mixed in with the egg and are cold. The salsa was really good and helped in eating the sandwich. I don’t like to waste food. The avocado toast, well, nothing fabulous. You can make a better avocado toast at home. Trust me. The meal wasn’t worth 30$, hence the two stars. But go for the coffee cause that was 5 stars.

Employees were friendly and knowledgeable, coffee was great, clean energy smoothie super tasty and potato egg taco was really good. Couch is comfy and overall great experience. And kombucha on tap was the best I’ve ever had! Good work!

Always friendly. I pick up from there often as an Uber Eats driver and appreciate their level of consistent customer service.
I said I'ld be back to try their Lavender Vanilla latte for my weakly coffee cheat day #anxietyproblems and grabbed a Breakfast wrap, very glad I did.

Loved the atmosphere. Very ‘friends’ like, with the old couches.

Great coffee and sandwich.
You should try it asap.
