Better Half Coffee & Cocktails

Order at counter, seating inside and out. Outdoor picnic tables have umbrellas for shade. Very pleasant spot for refreshment after a long hot day. Service was prompt, accurate, and attentive. Enjoyed the unusual dry ciders with gin botanicals. Would return on future trips to Austin.

We made a reservation for 6 for an outdoor table. The host met me and brought me to a large picnic table with an umbrella for much needed shade. He gave me info about the water station and bathrooms. Our group started to arrive and we waited a long time for the waitress to arrive and take our order. Thankfully we had everyone's drink and food order decided. It didn't take long for most of the food to come out except my sandwich didn't arrive for another 10 minutes. I was told it was held up by a bread delivery delay. The food was delicious and I ordered a cheeseburger to go as well. We then waited another 15 minutes for the waitress to pick up the check. All in all, the lunch was great, but the service was was very slow and inconsistent.

This place was in my list for quite some time and I was disappointed when I finally visited. We ordered the hot chicken sandwich and the cheeseburger. Both had disgustingly soggy buns on the bottom. It took a little while to get service and had three different people wait on our table; no sure if this was by design or just an off day. The fries tasted like regular frozen fries and oversalted. The burger was also nothing to write home about. The chicken sandwich was pleasant and different but not scrumptious. Really great place to eat outside but the food and service themselves were not outstanding at all. Wouldn't recommend or go out of my way to visit again.

Great place to get some food and a drink. Always a chill vibe, great cocktails, good food especially the burger. Lots of outdoor seating, makes it easy to enjoy during a busy happy hour.

I love the chicken burger here. Its one of the better ones in Austin. Its juicy and the perfect size. Come here for the burger and come during happy hour. Its half off all burgers and the timings aren't hard to meet for an early dinner.

The happy hour cheeseburger is only $5 and it’s soooo good! And the best part is happy hour starts at 1pm!

The fries (also $5) didn’t survive the long drive home in the rain unfortunately. They were limp and soggy.

I recommend dining there if you can (outdoor seating only right now during COVID).

The food was ok, but the service was not good. From start to finish, it seemed like every person working was bothered by us being there. We did not ask for much, and in fact, when asking for extra silverware, one of the servers (who had several packets of silverware on his delivery tray) outright said “oh these aren’t for you, you can go inside and find some in there.” Just not a good place for service. Probably won’t be coming back.

Better Half is like a movie that gets better with each scene. Each visit just gets more and more enjoyable; every dish is delicious and every drink is tasty and the employees are just all-around good chill people. If there’s no parking in the front they have a whole lot out back. It’s always a good time at better half

Spontaneously dropped-in to Better Half two weeks ago and have been back 5 times! The free dedicated parking out front drew me in, and the great food, service, and atmosphere keep me coming back. Pro-tip: pour some of the award winning queso inside the burger... it’s a game changer. The cocktails are strong with a nice selection of house-made specialty drinks. See you next week.

I was so disappointed. The atmosphere is cute but the overall experience was not good. Food for 2 people took over an hour and when it came out our meals were lukewarm at best. Parking was terrible. However, the vanilla latte was good. I don’t foresee us coming back. It just wasn’t worth the trouble of parking and the 1 hour wait.
