Medici Coffee

Maybe I am not clear on what a Macchiato is, but paying $6.24 on 1/3 filled of this small cup is a joke. The pastries were dry and almost inedible. The service was not friendly. Next time I would take the line at Starbucks.

If you need a quick breakfast at the airport, Medici Coffee delivers. I was impressed with their speed. My breakfast bagel sandwich was simple, but the egg, ham, and cheese made it enjoyable.

⭐ 1-Star Review If you’re looking for overpriced coffee served with a side of hostility, you’ve found your spot at the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport! Today I had the privilege of being barked at by an employee named Sam for daring to walk near a sugar spill (God forbid). Rather than a simple “Hey, careful, there’s a spill,” I got barked at like a misbehaving toddler: “DON’T WALK THROUGH HERE.” Then, in front of customers, she referred to another guest as a “douche bag” and said she hoped he got diarrhea for a week. Classy. As a cherry on top, the person who made my coffee looked like she’d just come from a funeral and couldn’t be bothered to say thank you or crack a single expression beyond deep existential dread. Not sure why I tipped—maybe out of pity, maybe out of habit—but lesson learned. If your goal is to start your travel day feeling insulted and invisible, this is your place. Otherwise, steer clear and find a vending machine. It’ll be friendlier.

I don’t like giving bad reviews but sometimes disappointment just takes over. We ordered a croissant, a breakfast sandwich and two waters. The croissant was not fresh and when warmed up the inside was still cold, the breakfast sandwich was just egg and cheese and although I asked for no meat I expected something like lettuce tomatoes etc. The service was fine but the food was just alright if not bad, and all could be excused but the price was insane 25$ for 2 waters, an egg bagel and a croissant. The waters were 5$ each and of course they don’t show the price on the menu or screen. So you only realize once you get your receipt I get the airport food is expensive but they take advantage sometimes and I don’t appreciate it.

It really is home run or strikeout with this place. I LOVE their coffee. It’s some of the best coffee I’ve had in the United States. I’ve also had really good and fast service here. However, that’s usually only when the short haired lady with all the tattoos is working. She is ON IT! (I think she might be a manager?) But if she’s not there, I’ve stopped bothering. I ordered a 16 oz Americano the other day and it took me 17 minutes to get it.

the italian hero made me almost throw up. I had to scrape off all the relish to be able to stomach enough of it. then i later got really sick on the plane.

1★ – Absolutely disappointing. I can’t believe Medici has the nerve to charge $13 for a sandwich that tastes like stale cardboard. Dry, flavorless, thrown together with zero care. It’s honestly insulting. I’ve had better meals from a gas station. To make matters worse, the staff was disinterested, unfriendly, and completely incompetent. orders were slow, wrong, and delivered with an attitude. For a place in an airport – where people are already stressed and hungry – this kind of service and quality is unacceptable. Save your money and your appetite. Avoid this place at all costs.

Tuesday morning 10-11am, pretty nice environment, most tables taken, but not packed, pretty spaced out. Not busy at all, at most 1-3 people waiting for their order. Service was good, I wasn’t asked if I’d want my pastry heated, but after getting it and politely asking if they would, they kindly took it back, heated it, and gave it back with a smile. Got a fruit danish pastry and a latte, latte was mid, what you expect from Starbucks, danish pastry was good, better than what you expect from Starbucks. Great place to work, took a work call here and was productive. Summary: Slightly better than what you can expect from a “better” coffee shop after the gate in a busy airport
