Mozart's Coffee Roasters

Hands down, cutest and best coffee shop I've been to. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable. There are plenty of places inside and on the deck to sit, relax, enjoy a meal, or set up your work space and get stuff done while next to the beautiful scenery and water.
The counter staff was exceptional. I'm not generally a coffee drinker, so they helped me pick something and gave me suggestions.... which was SOOOO helpful!!

Great experience, great coffee and phenomenal pastries, deserts, and sandwiches.
*Don't skip this place if in Austin*

A must place in Austin!!!

This place is by the lake and I loved the view and the food. It is a type of coffee shop setting. Great coffee and dessert/savory pastries with incredible seating options with an expansive view of the river. We went there on a Sunday evening and there was live music. A very chill and relaxed vibe where you can easily lose track of time.

Must visit once if you travel Austin. Even though their cold brew is too strong for me to drink, others are all good, latte; espresso… And also bakeries!

Beans are perfect gift to friends.

Such a cool spot. Coffee was excellent. Bought a bag to go. Decently priced. Their breakfast tacos were 11/10. There was a stage for entertainment and plenty of seating.

My review is solely based on the Christmas show. Used to be that you could show up and watch a great show. Now you reserve a table far in advance. Pay $50 for a standing table where you’re squeezed in like sardines and a tree blocks your entire view. They should disclose that you can’t see ANYTHING from this spot. Total rip off. And it is 15 min. I used to come every year. I don’t think I’ll be back. Coffee and desert is good though.

Mozart’s is an iconic Austin site- especially around the holidays. I go to the Christmas light show every year and it only gets bigger and better. The drinks are delicious and the treats are sweet and unique. We love this place!

Yummy pastries and delicious coffee in a beautiful setting! I loved the view and all the options for outside seating. As expected on a Sunday afternoon, the lot was full but there is metered street parking nearby.

A seasonal favorite is the holiday light and music show on Mozart’s river side deck overlooking Lake Austin. This is an Austin tradition that runs mid November through December providing entertainment nightly for all ages. Enjoy hot chocolate, coffee, tea, pastries, giant pretzels and an assortment of cookies that can be preordered or purchased there. Tickets only online.

One of my favorite coffee shops in Austin. Great place to work right on the water. On the weekends, they have live music and it’s always good. And to top it off, their coffee cake and berry tart is incredible.

I'm only reviewing the Mozart Coffee Roasters Light Show, which really might be the most disappointing event I've been to in recent memory.

Please note my caveat is that I am from a big city in California so this event in Austin probably more local, small town vibes but also completely lacking in hospitality and decent MC hosting.

Firstly, completely lacking in directions about where to go, what to line up for. We needed bracelets and the teens/college students guarding the interest didn't tell us this at first. I had to notice someone wearing a bracelet and pointing at it to ask what it was and then they didn't look at me and just said there's someone and then pointed in the general direction (pointed at the street).

The girls who had the bracelets, one of them left as we were approaching and I said we were told we needed to get bracelets. That girl had to wait until the other one came back and then asked us for credentials.

The decorations were cute so we took some photos. People were polite and made makeshift lines and everyone was neighborly and took each other's photos.

We had paid for a $60 table. And sat down, bought ourselves some refreshments. Again no explanation of what to look at, what to do. There was some random girls performing tik tok dances on a stage in the upper deck. We had no idea the "light show" was the sign above us.

People standing outside in the "market" (which is really just stands of refreshment -- to stalls, same menu), had better views than we did. No announcement. Then a lady pianist came to play -- again with an obscured view from the lower deck, who introduced herself and encouraged us to give her tips to help her make rent.

She played and sang some songs mostly from happy kids. She wasn't very convincing or particularly jolly. I tried to ask the cashier's some questions about what was going on but they just kept telling me they served refreshments so I gave up because they were mostly unfriendly and more interested in taking among themselves.

And then if was when the last song/light show was almost over that we realized what it was.

But the pretzels were delicious.

Parking is across the street. Otherwise kind of a bummer. Terrible service and signage.

I wouldn't mind the rest of it if people were nice.

And overall I found the service in Austin to be really great. This felt like a disappointing anomaly.
