Medici Roasting - Springdale

Austin Coffee Shop Caffe Medici Opens Cafe and Roastery in Springdale | Eater Austin

"I read that the Austin coffee-shop mini-chain opened a new cafe and roastery in East Austin's Springdale General creative complex at 1023 Springdale Road in Govalle; it's the chain's sixth location. The spot offers the usual coffee menu—espresso-based drinks, drip, and cold-brew—along with seasonal takes and tea, and plans to offer doughnuts from gourmet spot Bougie’s, including gluten-free options. There is table and bar seating, and what’s special about this location is that it contains Medici’s first-ever roasting facility and serves as its headquarters, housing the company's offices and a training lab. For now hours are limited to 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. this week before expanding to full hours (6 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily) starting Monday, August 19. Co-owners Michael and Allison Vaclav opened the first Caffe Medici in Clarksville in 2006, later adding locations on the Drag, downtown, and South Lamar." - Nadia Chaudhury
