Radio Rosewood

Great time at this location. I wish it still had the Try Hard coffee shop vibe, but the atmosphere here is still great. I got a speciality coffee and my gosh it was so sweet - but I didn’t ask any questions to see if this was gonna be a good choice. The breakfast sandwich was fantastic. Excited to come back!

Really into the vibe here. It’s a great place to get some work done. I respect what they’ve done with the design, taking it over from Try Hard. There’s a steady buzz of digital nomads in flight. Music is present, but not distracting. Radio’s design features a darker, more rustic color palate with slightly dimmer lighting; yet, enough light in the front and back to brighten things up. Seasonal coffee menu is interesting - the spiced oat latte was on point, not too sweet. The breakfast sandwich was good enough. I’d get it again just because the aioli was interesting, though not something I would crave and specifically come back for. Service was solid, as well - friendly without being OTT. It’s early days, but seems they hire good people here in general. Y’all should definitely give this place a shot!

June 2025: A tiny spin-off of radio coffee down south, this is a little satellite. Mostly coffee shop but also have mixed beverages and the like. And even CBD or THC beverages, mildly surprising! There's some snacky snack food and sandwichy sandwiches. Had the: CAFE DE CACHAPA. $13 Amaras Mezcal, Elote Liqueur, RCB Cold Brew, Cream This was a delightful caffeinated beverage, not too heavy on the booze which was actually great for the moment. -- Excellent, cold brew, Smokey, delightful. There were a couple of baristas/, both the guys seem chill and cordial. Had a seat in the corner. It took them probably 7ish minutes to make the beverage, and sat and had a chill moment while enjoying the cold brew mezcal before moving on about my evening. Parking is pretty easy as you're not in a stupid populated area, you can probably just get on the street or nearby for free.

I was served a perfect macchiato dopio, a delicious cinnamon roll, and a complimentary sparking water to cleanse the palette. Beautiful, contemplative music with Spanish language vocalist at just the right volume as background. Most seats were taken but it was still possible to pick a comfortable spot. Many of the customers seem to be regulars, but everyone is greeted with warmth and consideration. Great place on the historic East Austin Main Street, 11th street.

J.D. was our bartender at Half Step when we first moved to Texas last year. He was so inviting friendly and amazing at his job. you can tell he’s passionate about crafting cocktails… it showed with each cocktail as well as in his personality… being in the restaurant industry my whole life it really was nice to see. radio rosewood is very lucky to have him! i hope he gets paid for what he’s worth. because of him we have been to radio rosewood and will continue going there. if you go visit this spot, ask to try his homemade bloody mary mix!! 10/10!!! it taste so fresh and satisfying.

The frozen drink options were nice and the atmosphere was on point. It's a nice spot to meet w/friends to chat over some drinks (music was loud though)...but I was surprised after ordering the single patty smash burger that tomato, onion and lettuce is not included and was charged 0.50 for each. The kitchen staff fee that another reviewer mentioned was applied and signage for it is shown at the register....but it's clear with these fees that I'd rather stop by for a drink but maybe snack/eat elsewhere.

Very nice place for breakfast and their coffee is absolutely delicious.

Love that they have options for everyone! Drinks are yummy from the lattes to the cocktails. Food is always good and fresh. Wish there were outlets though 😭 come with your laptop charged and you’ll be solid!

All-day neighborhood hub with top-tier coffee, cocktails & bites Radio Rosewood hits the sweet spot between laid-back and elevated. Tucked into a former café space on East 11th, this third outpost of the beloved Radio Coffee & Beer lineup delivers everything you want--from morning espresso to evening cocktails. Why do I love it? Vibe: Sleek leather banquettes, pendant lighting, and local art create a warm, welcoming atmosphere--sophisticated but never pretentious. Drinks: Stellar coffee drinks by day, and a sharp cocktail menu by night, plus beer & natural wines. Thoughtful, craft-forward choices feel right at home here. Food: Shortwave Diner's first brick-and-mortar pops out with smash burgers, tacos, breakfast bowls, avocado toast, and hearty diner staples from morning til night. Community feel: A true "third space"--whether it's networking events, chill hangouts, or casual work sessions--the space adapts. The owners are committed to affordable drinks and community impact, donating proceeds from coffee bag sales to local nonprofits. Tip: Grab a seat on the inviting patio when the weather's good--ideal for weekend lounging with good brew in hand!

Big fan of all the Radio Coffee spots, so I was thrilled to see a new one pop up within walking distance of my office! Like the other spots around town, this one brings the same magic: a killer coffee and cocktail lineup and tasty bites from Shortwave Diner. I'd never tried their food before so I went for the breakfast sandwich and wow it did not disappoint. Paired it with my go-to oat milk iced coffee, and it was a match made in brunch heaven. The space has plenty of bar seating, cozy booths, and outdoor tables, plus a stage for live music and a vibrant mural that really ties it all together. Excited to see how Radio Rosewood continues to grow as it's already off to a great start!

I had pretty high hopes for Radio, but sadly it missed the mark! A group of 4 of us stopped by while waiting for our table at Loudmouth to be available across the street. There were not too many people there when we went -- only one other person ordering ahead of us (but several parties already seated with drinks and food in the back patio). It took over 5 minutes before we could order, which was not a problem for us particularly, but definitely something to note. We ordered, and the prices on the menu were not the prices we were charged. My partner ordered a frozen drink that was $13 on the menu, but rang up as $14.50 pre-tax. Again, this is not a huge problem, but definitely was cause for confusion, given they literally just opened, so the menu should reflect the actual prices. Outside, the tables and chairs were pretty ratty tatty and dirty. Again, odd, since they just opened. The string lights were flickering and turning on and off constantly outside, which ended up giving us quite a headache. I did like how it was dog-friendly outside, however! I believe this Radio location would be so cute as just a coffee shop, and I do want to return for coffee during the day. However, I don't plan on returning for drinks at night.

Loving the new Radio! The inside is gorgeous, the patio is super hip, the drinks are delicious, and I love the breakfast options. I also came for an Emo Karaoke night that was super fun! It's a great spot any time of day. The only thing is, the tables are a little small for co-working, and there isn't a ton of seating, so it might not be the best for getting work done. I like having meetings here though.

I love this new location for Radio. This is such a fun spot to hang out on the weekends in the patio, or even just to work inside during the day. The menu is great, and I love that they offer THC drinks too. In fact they made us something off menu that was DELICIOUS! I also love that they have vegan options. Would definitely recommend!

I visited here for an event with my friend, and I cannot wait to return. We had the most amazing vanilla matcha lattes paired with great music. I could definitely see myself coming to work from home or just listen to music and have a quick meal with friends. The mocktails were great as well. Service was quick and everyone was very friendly.

2/12/25: Opening day and it's a PACKED HOUSE! Rightfully so, because everyone loves the local Radio crew. The only complaint I've ever had is them not being in the neighborhood. Now they are!! A five minute walk from my apartment. Even though it was super packed, we received the same quality service as always and as expected. This gang knows how to do it right! We had the lavender macchiato and mint mocha and wow. Talk about going to flavor town. They always know how to get just the right mix of syrup and coffee together. Even though they were super busy, one for the leads Patrick took the time to get to know us and talk doggies. He even gave us the 411 on what's to come; evening cocktails, etc. One of the partners, Trey even stopped by our table to chat with us. This is why Radio is so amazing! They love what they do and they treat customers like family. My heart is as happy as my belly. Chill back patio that made for a good area to relax since the inside was so jammed. This location has an in-house kitchen rather than a food truck. Awesome! We shared an Austin Dog & fries and they were delish. Perfectly cooked...ON OPENING DAY! Everything was so streamlined you'd never know it was the first day.

We loved Radio Rosewood! The drinks were delicious and the staff were so nice. The lead bartender made us an off-menu drink that was very good and said they rotate drinks pretty often. The music was a little weird at times but overall this was a great spot and we will definitely be back!

Very cozy spot! It's aesthetically pleasing from the plants outside to the gorgeous, clean, vintage decor in the inside. There was a fantastic variety of music playing, and my friend and I played several matches of Backgammon. I ordered the fries and some hot chocolate, while my friend ordered a chocolate chip cookie. This place was a whole Sunday afternoon VIBE. I loved it! The fries were absolutely perfect; crispy and flaky, unlike any other fry I've had. I eat mine with mayo. The hot chocolate came with whipped cream by request. I can't wait to return!

This is my favorite matcha in town!!! Staff is so kind and pastries are amazing. Breakfast is hit or miss, but still good. My favorite thing about this place is cozy seating inside and amazing patio outside.
