Thunderbird Coffee

Excellent spot to hang out, study, or work and get some good drinks. We ordered a regular latte and Thai cold brew. Both were excellently strong but balanced! Atmosphere is not super loud but not always quiet. The space is limited, but they do have a balcony outside with more seats.

This shop is cute with a strong Austin vibe to it. Plants and great baristas make it a very welcoming spot. The cold brew was good though a bit weak, but still a decent cup.

Wanted to try a new breakfast place. This place was nice the coffee was good. I got the honey nut late. It was sweet I couldn’t really taste the honey it was more of a cinnamon flavor but it was good. I also tasted the turning violet latte it’s supposed to have a blueberry lavender flavor but I didn’t taste it at all. The tacos were okay. I got the potato egg and cheese. That one was okay at best the tortillas were not good. I think they should get some different brand or something. I also got the bean potato and avocado taco. I was a little surprised at the taste of the beans they were black beans but they were tangy. It was not a bad flavor just reminds me of the ranch style beans. I think the salsa really saved the day with the tacos. Get the green salsa it’s super flavorful and spicy. The sandwich was good. The vegan chocolate muffin was delicious! But it’s made at Quacks bakery so no surprise there. The atmosphere was super chill and laid back. Overall I will come back to try different items from the menu.

Hi! I come here all the time and love the sandwiches. Today it was popping and I got an online order. However my sandwich was really messed up and when I called to say turkey wasn't on my sandwich the person who answered told me to "Oh! I have had this before check under the cheese" and I totally understand it could be hidden but there was literally zero turkey and my sandwich didn't even look remotely right. My partners sandwich only had 5 pieces of meat. Not what we normally get and a complete rip off. I really wish I would of been offered to remake or even apologize for it being messed up, instead I got someone being condescending.

The coffee is amazing and the place is great for studying/working. Their tacos left something to be desired sadly. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese taco and got just egg and cheese

We come here almost every day.. this is a bit overpriced but we were enjoying the quality of drink and some of the other staff are pretty high vibe..
Today we get this..

As a response to our request for no ice, specifically -

- no displacement -

When I asked the woman who made our coffee, a large,
"I'm the manager so deal with it" energy woman smiled with her big crooked teeth like she thought it was hilarious how they price their millk and as a matter of fact "no I will not top off your drink," her grin widening
"NOr will I give you your ice on the side"

Her eyes were dancing with joy

Did you wake up in petty land that's about ten years old

It was a 9 dollar matcha and we tip yall five dollars minimum every other day

We more than paid you for whatever milk cost you're on about
And you're being dishonest by not being upfront about it.

again, I feel this is very petty.
if you were to explain during the purchase process and offer to charge an extra 50 cents or whatever it should cost according to the fluctuating standards, (you said the other staff were nice to me but not I) (again, literally gloating)
maybe we would have come to an understanding and continued being your customer..

But instead you intentionally gave us a 1/4 less drink laughing internally like you absolutely knew what you were doing

the pleasure you took in telling me off is more than enough evidence and
earned you this review fair and square

Your coworkers looked so embarrassed I feel for them having to work with Ego like that must be debilitating they looked defeated in their eyes, noone looked happy

This is the effect of your energy.

Hope you heal this, just be real with people and be kind and generous.
Otherwise you will destroy what could have been a nice business

Went here for a sandwich and two coffees, all delicious. Friendly staff, chill vibes, plants everywhere. Cozy.

This is one of my favorite café entire Austin. The staff is super friendly and their Chipotle chicken sandwich is just ❤️

Came here midweek, late morning one workday and it wasnt too busy. Eclectic atmosphere. The parking lot is tiny and staff were cool. The peanut butter cups are good here! Coffee is good too but in my humble opinion everything feels a little overpriced for what it is. 😅 Tried the Thai tea coffee and was pretty underwhelmed. I still want to come and try the breakfast burritos though, they smelled so good the second you walk through the door 🤤

This coffee shop is more expensive than Starbucks and charges extra for alternative milks. I've been coming here for a couple years and have tried a few different drinks, because I like to support local businesses instead of Starbucks but even the specialty drinks like the Vietnamese iced coffee are lacking in flavor and quality. Most of the employees are usually kind of grumpy. Today they told me dogs weren't allowed inside when I walked inside to put in a to-go order with my 5lb hypoallergenic poodle on a leash on the ground. The cashier just said that they weren't allowed in, and didn't ask if I was doing to-go or sitting on their patio or offer any ideas for how I could still buy a coffee ie: if you put in your order at the counter and wait outside while we make it that's fine so I just left. I love supporting small businesses but with these prices, lack of quality/size options in the drinks and NOW finding out they're not dog friendly too I decided I will not be coming here anymore. Great coffee shops around the corner like Houndstooth (they let dogs in, even have a wall of doggy polaroid photos and give them little puppaccinos!)
