Greater Goods Roasting Co.

First time at the Greater Goods Coffee Roaster and my experience was great! We ordered a hot latte and a brewed coffee - both were good and their latte art was impeccable. We got to the coffee shop on a Saturday afternoon. It was super busy but we were able to find a seat and the wait time was not long at all although there was a line in front of the counter. We spent about 2 hours in the store working in our laptop. It was comfy but sometimes it gets a little loud. Overall 4/5. Coffee 4/5. Interior 3/5.

This place was really good coffee you can tell they take great care and pride in making a cup. They also have classes here that teach people how to make a great cuppa coffee. The atmosphere is very relaxing and quiet which is nice if you are looking to meet up with some friends or a business meeting. Unlike many coffee shops that Blair the music too loud this is nice a quiet.

Greater Goods are championing and nurturing the specialty coffee scene in Austin, which I hugely appreciate! They really care about coffee, and provide best in class specialty coffee, paying attention to detail at every aspect of the process, from reverse osmosis filtered water, to a wide range of SCA 80+ scored coffees from different regions and varietals, lightly roasted and served as pour overs, cold brews and a variety of espresso drinks. On top of all that, they have a dedicated training space to help educate the public (and their own baristas) on really smelling and tasting the differences between all of those amazing coffees, offering reasonably priced taste development classes and cupping exercises. Highly recommend for anyone who really wants to taste the flavours of specialty coffee!

So busy! I'd planned to sit an enjoy a cup of coffee "for here" but couldn't find a parking spot or a table, so instead I ordered our coffees to-go while my fiance waited in the car. I suppose that's a testament to the great coffee + pastries! I enjoyed both, and would make this my go-to spot if I were a local.

Austin’s coffee screen is growing by leaps and bounds and roasters like Greater goods are definitely the reason. It’s a nice cozy little coffee shop with great seating and they provide coffee classes as well. The selection is fantastic and they usually have 2 espresso options for espresso and espresso drinks. Their drip was amazing as well. Try it and you won’t be dissatisfied. I’ll recommend the kickstart if you are considering an espresso blend. Plenty of parking out to the side of the store.

Awesome spot! Roasting, great coffee, brewing gear, and even classes are offered here. I would highly recommend it. They serve the coffee on small boards and even give you mineral water to go with the espresso. Really nice touch and I’ll be sure to come back if I’m in the Austin area in the future.

I just took the coffee class "intro to latte art" and it was really fun and very informative. Marcos is a terrific trainer. We learned how to properly steam milk to get the right texture, and then we each worked with him to pour a heart. I have the basics now to be able work on it on my own. I came away with more knowledge of coffee and a recommendation for an affordable espresso machine. Marcos is passionate about coffee, and unbelievably knowledgeable. I will be taking the "intro to espresso" next! Also, I love Greater Goods Kickstart coffee and just tried the Holly Blend and it is amazing!

The ambience is great and it’s an amazing cafe. I had their speciality pour over coffees - in my honest opinion it wasn’t the best. They use pour over machines which could impact the taste of the coffee. I understand the need to be efficient behind the bar and while it justifies the core business need, it does not meet or match the customer experience and value that I would hope for from speciality coffee pour overs. I felt my coffees were under extracted and sour. Their milk based drinks are good though. I hope they start serving hand made pour overs so customers can fully experience all the amazing coffee they have.
