The Top 35 Coffee Shops in Austin
-
Rank 1. Mercado Sin Nombre
Mexican Coffee
An alley lined with café lights leads to a window counter serving heirloom corn preparations and specialty coffee, from blue-masa twinkies to hundred-hour biscuits. The menu stays deliberately spare, letting fermented chilies and smoky jams speak louder than the restaurant's own name.

Rank 2. Joe's Bakery & Coffee Shop
Tex-Mex Mexican
A family-run East Austin institution since 1962, Joe's trades flourish for straightforward Tex-Mex served in worn booths where breakfast arrives all day. The twice-fried bacon arrives almost crackling, the migas tacos rest on house-made tortillas, and the bakery case glows with conchas—this is sustenance without apology.
