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.

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.

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

They have great coffee, a great atmosphere, and great staff but unfortunately had to give it a 1 star as they have no Wifi. You'll have to connect to the W Austin Public which is extremely slow and unstable. Like many, I go to coffee shops to work in the mornings and won't be coming back here until they get the WiFi situation fixed. Will adjust my review once they fix it!

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.

Part of the w hotel good coffee... See pictures attached and follow me on Google reviews for more travel spots and food
