Figure 8 Coffee Purveyors

Excellent macchiato. The place is small and gets fairly crowded, but there is outdoor seating and the crowd is pretty friendly. If you don't mind the European-style "sitting with strangers" scenario, you'll score a spot pretty easily. Parking is street-only, and the neighborhood looks a bit sketchy, but that is not unusual for Austin. They are not selling beans by the pound at this time, but there is hope that they will in the future.

Their online menu listed pour over and did not say they were out or discontinued, but they didn’t have it when I waited in line and asked in person. Annoying. To their credit, they were able to point me at a place that might.

Update: Owner responded, indicated that the online menu was not theirs!

One of the most aesthetically consistent coffee shops I’ve ever visited, Figure 8 is modern, clean, sleek, and offers a quality product with elegant presentation. The coffee is second to none, and it’s the central focus. There’s no large food menu or smoothie bar, typical at local competitors, which draws your attention to the carefully procured cup of jo in your hands. The music is hip yet soft, making Figure 8 an ideal meeting or date spot. From the exterior, you see limited outdoor seating, and a gorgeous store front with large glass windows, bicycle racks, and hip clientele. If you’re looking for serious coffee and a precisely contemporary ambience, look no further. 5/5

Good vibes and great area of the east side.

Had a decent vanilla soy latte here. The owners are super cute. The space is just okay -- it's pretty small, so not really somewhere that you'd hang out all day. That said, it's really cute inside and I'll definitely be back. I really hope they succeed.

Great coffe in a comfortable cafe. Plenty of workspace and enough lighting for us older folks to see. I'll come back here when I'm in town again. The Kenyan espresso was bright in my Cortado and my wife gave the iced latte a couple of head nods and said "this is good."

Cute little place, excellent coffee! great selection in coffee beans!

Highly recommend this place 👍. I came in to kill some time while in a business trip. The crew here really pays attention to detail in their brewing methods and the drinks are true to form. I would recommend this place to anyone who is a true enthusiast of quality espresso based drinks.

Came here on a rainy Monday afternoon which was the last day of my Texas visit, so my mood wasn’t the best. But the atmosphere, the nice chat with one of the guys working there and the great coffee made the day a lot better. I remember the restroom was a bit flooded for some reason. I hope they took care of it!

This is a great coffee shop. They have a selection of coffee and espresso options, and the baristas are knowledgeable. They did a terrific job with my Cortado and Latte. If you're in the Rosewood area, or just looking for a coffee to go with your bagel, you should give Figure 8 a try.
