Barrio Barista

Nice, unique coffee shop on the west side. It’s a combination of small restaurant and coffeeshop, with a great menu and drink selection.

The atmosphere is certainly unique, with fun and interesting decorations. The lights are low so there’s a silent, calm feel to the shop. That combined with the slow jazz, makes it great for working professionals.

Overall, very nice, comfortable coffeeshop with a interesting and unique personality. I just wish it was open more days and for longer.

Check their Facebook for updated hours. This was my first visit in a few years and there have been some great updates. There's lots of nice shaded seating options outside. Inside there is counter seating, booths, tall tables, and shorter tables. The lighting is a little dim but not dark. I didn't recognize the music playing but I liked it. The coffee bar counter is much nicer. Generally the place feels nicer and more comfy. This would be a good spot to work on your laptop. The wait was longer than I expected, but nothing terrible, and I'd rather wait here than Starbucks. The owner is funny and friendly. I got an oat milk latte, which was delicious. Previously I've gotten the horchata latte, which is amazing. I'm also a fan of the barbacoa grilled cheese.

Checked out Barrio Barista and service was spot-on. Great selection of coffee, espresso, and specialty drinks. Food is ample and delicious. Super chill and relaxed atmosphere.

This place is perfect! Horchata latte is delicious and the grilled cheese and barbacoa with avocado is amazing!’n highly recommend it. All the employees are friendly and wear hairnets! This place beats Starbucks 1000 to 1

Returning to my roots was a theme today. What better way than to pay tribute to a neighborhood favorite, Barrio Barrista. The place is looking fabulous. The owner and staff are so welcoming. The coffee and the food are excellent. In fact we search for the feeling of coffee in the morning. Well when you come here if you want a double dose of morning delight, then order your favorite coffee or latte AND THE BARBACOA GRILLED CHEESE!! 🤯🤯🥳🥳😁😁 OH MAN OH MAN!! That combo is one of THE BEST in the central Texas region. Not to forget the great vibes at Barrio Barrista. There is no better experience than to actually see the passion for what they do in action. You can feel the love while enjoying the jazzy ambiance. Don't be afraid to go to the hood when you are headed to Barrio Barrista. This place should be on your to do this week list!

Had the barbacoa grilled cheese with avocado and a caffe mocha. Such a great choice! This spot has a chill vibe and music. Will be back again!

First time today. Went for a quick bite and caffeine. The barbacoa and brisket melts were the right balance of melty and meaty goodness while not being too heavy. We also got a couple chai lattes that were top 10%.

This place has comfortable lighting, not too bright. While there are some aesthetics that seem slightly haphazard, everything I saw from food prep and coffee handling was detail oriented and presented well.

Overall, wonderful place. Seems like careful service meets laid-back atmosphere. I'll get making this a regular spot.

This place is awesome!!! Only negative part it is they are only open 3 days a week.. the horchata iced coffee was bomb and so was the tomato soup and Barbacoa grilled cheese..

WOW! First time going, both the food and coffee were great! If you go, get the "Westside Special", it will not disappoint! My nephew loved the chocolate chip muffin and my mom loved the Honey Latte. Already recommending to my family/friends!

Delicious! I'm only sorry I couldn't sample everything on the same day.
The black bean patty melt was perfect(the sautéed cactus added onto it was a flavor I never knew I liked until now!).
I also had a honey latte that was brewed to perfection.
