La La Land Kind Cafe

This is a super cute café. It was moderately busy when we were there. By the time we ordered there were a lot of people waiting for their food. Honestly, it took about 25 minutes for us to get three drinks and a pastry. I was quite surprised of this And not sure I understood why because they had many people working there. But it was a fun spot and will probably come back and give it another chance.

This coffee shop is absolutely charming with such a fun and cozy vibe! I originally ordered a hot vanilla latte, but they gave me an iced one instead — and honestly, it was the best happy accident on a warm day. The drink was delicious, and I didn’t mind the mix-up at all. I also loved the cheerful yellow theme and those gorgeous chandeliers — such a lovely touch!

Food is delicious. I had a Matcha latte with banana foam, ia was unbelievably good, same for the Caprese panini 😋 Place is clean and organized, lots of seats indoors and a few tables outdoors, staff super friendly. Depending on what time you arrive, you’ll probably have to wait in line, but not a big deal at all. I’ll have to come back for sure

The coffee is really good, but the staff is extremely slow. It’s not that they’re too busy they’re just genuinely slow. If you’re not in a rush, this place is fine. But if you need your coffee quickly, especially before work, you’re better off going somewhere else where they actually understand the fast-paced dynamic of a coffee shop. There is like 8 people and I been waiting for 30 minutes

Great spot for grab and go coffee, pastries, or a sandwich. The atmosphere is bright, cheerful, action packed with guests offering indoor and outdoor seating. Also included you can purchase themed cafe swag! Definitely a delicious spot that offers nearby paid garage parking or paid street parking. Looking forward to trying another cold coffee in the future. ⚠️Disclaimer: Rated the sevice 3 stars since my sandwich was delivered 45 minutes later after I had to report it twice to the staff when another customer had taken my order. Hence, had to add more time to my parking meter for the wait. 🙄

Stopped by this coffee shop after noticing the long line—had to see what the hype was about! I tried their Lala Latte with Matcha and it was delicious. The space has a cute, modern vibe which definitely adds to the appeal. That said, it can get pretty loud, so it’s not the best spot for studying or having a quiet conversation. Great for a quick treat, though!

Amazing latte and matcha! The cafe was very cute and aesthetic, great service. Line was long when I went. Prices on the higher end but the quality and experience is higher.

The coffee here is absolutely delicious! The staff is incredibly friendly, which made the whole experience even better. I tried the strawberry latte—perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness and a smooth espresso kick. Not overly sugary, just pure perfection!

The matcha is so good! April E. is the sweetest employee!! So kind, love her!! I definitely recommend, can't wait to try more drinks here!

Visiting family in Austin and heard this place was famous, can see why as the cloud matcha was to die for as well as the avocado toast. Cat helped me pick the drink and I'll certainly be back before I leave town.

Best matcha I've had in a long time! Cat's service was stupendous and they helped me pick the perfect drink! The café is also so cute and very aesthetically pleasing, the perfect place to go for a study session with friends.

I was skeptical given that this place had a line out the doors for weeks after opening and it was all over my tiktok with influencers' reviews but I'll tell you I think it's definitely worth it now that the line has died down! I ordered the Keith Lee Latte (Matcha with strawberry) and my friend ordered the Banana Cloud Latte. We both throughly enjoyed them! As people who try matcha all around town, this is definitely going near the top of our list! We came on a week day around lunch time and there some people working from the tables and others just enjoying their coffee and food. There's lots of seating but I can see it getting crowded and people having a hard time finding seating. We waited for a table to clear up (only about 5 min).

LOVEEEEE Love lattes, love matcha, and love musicals like La La Land. The interior is so cute and I got their banana cloud latte. I've had lattes before where only the cream is sweet but this drink was perfectly sweet throughout even if you don't mix it. I also got to sample their limited time J.Lo Birthday Cake Latte, which was such a treat! Yum! P.S. I only waited 5 minutes during a weekday morning

I went during their soft opening and waited in line a while but once I ordered the food and drinks came out fast. I ordered the avocado toast with the burrata and chili oil and it was delicious. The strawberry and honey toast was okay, a little bland for my taste. The strawberry cloud matcha was too subtle for me with the strawberry but the banana cloud was my favorite. I am not even a big banana person and I would get that one again. The space is sleek and clean, cute giveaways and staff is nice. Will be coming back!

I was in Austin by happy accident and just happened to walk past a line in front of La La Land! Wow! First of all, the line moved fairly quickly and the staff was super friendly. The Matcha Cloud Latte? Ceremonial-grade goodness with a nutty twist and just the right sweetness. I got it with whole milk and was very impressed with the taste. The inside has minimalist decor meets sunshine yellow touches = instant mood boost. The spot's totally walkable which is a breezy choice for a caffeine fix!

I had tried to get in when they did their soft opening and the line was insane. Plus it was raining so I decided to try another day. The name La La Land represents a dream world. A place where you walk in and feel a true sense of joy for life. A place where you are loved for who you are. A place that brings together all human beings. A place where kindness is priority. The minute you walk in you are greeted almost immediately and by not one but several staff members. That was a huge plus for me. I ordered the Upside Down Iced Latte with Espresso vs Matcha and it was sooooo delicious. It wasn't until i was about half way through my Latte when the sweet side of my concoction hit me. Usually it's always been the other way around for me. Definitely a hit for me. The layout has a modern vibe to it with a bright color scheme to it. (See the photo and video.). A happy place. What really caught my attention other than the service and beverage, was reading on their website how they hire Foster Youth to work their cafes. What a great way to give back to your community by offering the youth gainful employment as well as a sense of purpose. You could see it on their faces how happy they were. Warmed my heart I highly recommend La La Land Kind Cafe. You won't be disappointed

My brother, an LA native, raved about this spot, so I was excited to see it open in Austin--especially knowing it supports youth aging out of foster care, a cause close to my family's heart. I tried the banana foam latte and La La Dream toast and both were delicious! The banana was subtle, not overpowering, and even the matcha (which I usually avoid) was surprisingly good. Staff were super kind despite the long lines. There's still some seating inside, but expect a 15-30 minute wait since it's new and in a busy area. I don't usually trek to South Austin, but I'd absolutely come back for another round!

Listen, I did not want to give this place 5 stars. It just seemed too viral to be true. It's delicious. Almond croissant was fire, honey oat milk latte was one of the best I've ever had. I hate myself for loving you! plus they gave my girls free stickers and bags. They were very nice and a clean simple vibe.

SO STOKED Austin finally got a La La Land Cafe!!! I've been to these in Houston and Dallas and always wondered when it would be Austin's turn. The vibe and brand of this cafe is the best - their purpose of hiring foster youth and normalizing kindness is incredible. All of the staff say "love you!" in the same way Chick-Fil-A employees say "my pleasure!" The drinks and food are pretty tasty. The matcha is great, and the menu has nice variety. They often do seasonal or special drinks as well! Most things can be hot or iced. I love everything I've tried here and will be visiting often! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Located on SoCo so back-in street parking or street parking throughout the neighborhood (free before 8am). - Indoor seating? Yes, a community table and some smaller tables available.

Truly delicious matcha, some of the best I've had in the city! The employees are also so friendly, living up to the "kind" in the name. However, I worry about the cleanliness of the cafe. I was there early morning and the ground was absolutely covered in hair, probably a mix of human and dog. I know they're getting a lot of foot traffic, but it was really gross to see.

This coffee shop is truly worth all the hype! Would I wait 4 hours in line? Probably not! But will I order on the app for speedy pick up? Absolutely! I've been back 3 times already since it opened. All the coffee drinks I've tried have been delicious! The staff is super friendly & helpful. And the shop is located in a great neighborhood in Austin. What better way to start your day!

new austin location!! the hype is still going so it's about an hour wait for the line outside, inside and to get drinks made. the servers do a good job of line control. i tried the keith lee matcha drink. it's on the sweeter side but i really enjoyed it. i hope they permanently keep this drink on the menu. the interior is really pretty giving it an upscale and put together atmosphere. there is plenty of seating. service is very friendly. the drink packaging is easily to go, making it a nice spot to grab a drink and shop the rest of soco. p.s. if you get the mobile app they have a 50% off drink on the app, but make sure to order through the app. they were also handing out cute bags if you just asked!

Service was great! Didn't wait long. Very cute in there. We went on opening weekend on Saturday and unfortunately did not get to try the coffee because their espresso machine was down so I got a matcha. The matcha was really good but would have liked to try a coffee. Maybe next time.

The staff was really sweet and the environment was so friendly. The matcha was really good! It was on the sweeter side, but definitely a great place to check out if you're in the area.

Delicious food, delicious drinks, even better service. Shout out to Cat!! Love ya will def be back again

Line was worth the wait- best matcha I've ever had and Cat who works there had 10/10 service , such sweet people!

Visited on a Wednesday morning, line was out the door, wait time was 33 minutes from start to ordering. We tried the lavender vanilla latte, strawberry fields matcha latte, chia seed pudding, and avocado toast. Service was great, atmosphere was bright & clean! The avocado toast would taste so much better if it was fresh! I also noted a few flies roaming the pastry area.

This place is amazing!! Wow!! Long lines.. but totally worth it! Everyone was so nice "love you" . The food was delicious and some of the best I've ever had. Such a cute little place. Will definitely be back soon!!

I ordered a matcha latte and it was too sweet even though I ordered half sugar. The regular milk foam only has sugary taste and not what I was expected!

I know this place is known for it's matcha and avocado toast. Today I tried the latte and Hazelnut Toast. Both were good. This is a good place to get fast breakfast or snack type food. This Austin location was packed as the location has just opened and it's smack dab in the middle of SoCo solidifying the fact that it will always have customers passing through it. Their menu is limited and simple but I actually liked that fact. As a local, however, I don't know how much I will return with it being in such a touristy part of the city. Cute spot though.

Best matcha!! Wonderful staff and aesthetically pleasing coffee shop! I came around 8am and there was no line.

Oh my gosh, I love this place! The coffees are so delicious and the staff is so friendly. April helped me and she just made my day! What a special place!

Great drinks, great service. Dao was an excellent server! She was very attentive and made my drink delicious. Will come back to see her!

I had a good time when I went. The general vibe is great, and the workers get drinks and food out pretty fast considering how busy it was. I got a simple matcha, and loved it. Dao was working the front and helped me figure out the specialty drinks and how I should customize my matcha.

This place sucks. We got in line and only found out after waiting 30 minutes their espresso machine was broken. Then once we ordered we waited 40 minutes for a coffee and two toast items. No one had any idea what was going on besides one employee who finally asked us if we were waiting on anything else. We told her we were still waiting on a toast item and she told us she got it pushed to the front. Well ten more minutes later and watching plenty of other people get their food items we finally got our item. And our one toast item was completely soggy by the time we actually sat down to eat. Never going there again.

My family and I were really excited to try out La La Land Kind Cafe today. We came a little before 6:30pm and they close at 7pm. We were waiting in line outside the cafe with one person behind us when they cut off the line due to closing soon. We watched this employee turn away multiple people just to let her friends in line a few minutes later... this made us feel weird that multiple strangers were there before and were turned away; it didn't feel very "kind". Also the employee was complaining about the workers being overworked today, and that's why they were cutting off the line. She was talking about being ready to go home, which seems like a weird conversation to have around a new customer. The drinks were amazing (we tried 3 different matcha ones), but the employees attitude rubbed us the wrong way. We also watched that same employee give 2 different people free drinks, which also didn't feel "kind" when their whole motto is about being kind. We will not come here again any time close to closing time for sure.
