2nd & Roast

Love their in house made pastries (the pain suisse is my absolute favorite. Get it half warm so it stays crunchy). Katy the Barista is wonderful. And love the connected shared seating area in the W hotel.

We had the butter croissant and the scone and they were superb. The croissant has the exact amount of butter and salt. The lamination is executed to perfection and the experience gives you enough crunch on the outside and enough elasticity on the inside to satiate the most discerning palate. The scone was probably the best one we have had in quite some time. Most scones you buy miss the mark because they are either too soft and muffin like or too dry and practically a shortbread. This one had the correct balance and my wife, a pastry chef who specializes in scones amongst other things, gave it two enthusiastic thumbs up. Finally, I had read some one star reviews about the WiFi quality at the venue. Although I don’t think that should have anything to do with how to rate and review a location like this, I went ahead and tested multiple times myself using the Fast bandwidth testing tool from Netflix (which basically simulates the experience you would have if you were using watching a show on Netflix) and the results were great. That being said, I can’t speak to the complaints about WiFi stability specifically given that we were only there for about 45 minutes. It was fully stable while we were there is all I can say. Final verdict: go there! Update on July 6, 2025: came back and croissants and scone were just as awesome. Also tried a cappuccino with whole milk and it was very good.

I meannn I just went once but it’s a cool little spot. Didn’t try any drinks but the almond croissant was noticeably better than pastries anywhere else. Definitely will try it again even though it’s probably a bit overpriced but that’s probably because it’s in the W downtown.

New favorite coffee shop downtown. Really good rotating pastries and house syrups. The staff is all really kind and great baristas. Love it Love it.

This coffee shop is at street level within the W Austin. Great spot for a short break from shopping & walking the streets. Very good tsing coffee & I especially enjoyed the cranberry & walnut scone which was delicious. Nice quiet spot.

This place is so beautiful, I just took a coffee and it was amazing but the atmosphere really got me.

They have a gluten feee coffee cake which is amazing. The spot is nice to work at as there is a good bit of seating, plus the lobby. Service is great as well. Prices are a bit high, so keep that in mind.

The iced latte was delicious but the ham & cheese croissant stole the show. One of the best savory croissants I’ve ever tasted!

Cutest downtown coffee shop! Tucked inside the stunningly decorated W Hotel, it also has its own entrance, making it easy to pop in. I stopped by on a Sunday around noon and had the place to myself. The barista was very welcoming and quick to make my order. Coffee was good and although I didn't get any, their pastries looked delicious. Definitely recommend!

Friendly and quick service! Coffee shop attached to hotel; however don't have to go through the hotel to access it. Stopped by following a run and wish I hadn't to hang out, lots of seating in the back and very lovely decor. Latte and pastries were great! Only downside is parking -hard to find. Would suggest parking somewhere along town lake and walking/running to the shop. Good hidden gem!

Five stars for a coffee bar? Absolutely. Situated inside the W lobby, this was a great place to start the morning with coffee. Friendly service, a full range of coffee options and several sugar-free flavors for the low-carb or diabetic crowd, I got what I wanted quickly and with a smile. I'm pleased to be able to add them to Yelp!

Talk about great customer service and their almond croissants!! The girls in the morning are super sweet and are so helpful. I'd recommend the vanilla iced latte with oat milk and their almond croissant.

The chocolate croissant tasted like the one I had in France! The Feeling of the place was amazing like I spent 1 million. The service was exquisite

Service is amazing. Food was great. Drinks were perfect .... But the pricing was offensive -- My small latte was almost $7 and change, which is the highest I have encountered in Austin or any city for that matter.

Service was amazing. The pastries are homemade and delicious. The coffee is really good as well with several different options.
