Stargazer Cocktails & Coffee

1 part cocktail and 1 part coffee and you have Stargazer. Conveniently located right off a parking lot (and taco truck), Stargazer has this funky, earthy vibe to it. The setting here is somewhere between a craft brewery and a botanical garden, which gives it a very unique feel. Throw in a pool table, some foosball, and various nightly events such as trivia or comedy, and you have something special. By the time we got to the counter to order we were pretty excited to see what was in store. However, the wait was… long, which wouldn’t be bad if we hadn’t been the only people in line. We must have waited about 10 minutes or so before we got someone to take our order, and that’s with a barista at the bar and another worker restocking in front of us. It just felt like there was zero urgency and the line behind us began to grow and eventually got to the door. When we finally got our order taken the staff were nice and the process was smooth. We ordered a hot chocolate and a hot strawberry matcha latte. They do offer a pretty expansive menu with cocktails and other specialty drinks if that’s your vibe. Our drinks came out pretty quick and we drank them while playing some pool (pretty cool sentences to say when it’s coffee you’re drinking). The hot chocolate is fantastic; it has a sweet milk chocolate taste similar to Dutch Bros but a bit better in our opinion. The strawberry matcha was just okay, much more on the earthy side with a nice hint of strawberry in it. The bottom of the cup had a lot of semi absorbed matcha in it which was a bit unenjoyable to finish a drink off with. We really liked the setting of Stargazer and it’s hard not to. Between the funky vibe, cool events going on, and games, it’s a lot of fun. The service leaves a bit to be desired and the drinks were hit or miss, but it’s a place we would come back to, especially with things like pickleball and rock climbing nearby. We’re looking forward to coming here again and seeing if things are different, but for now we feel this place warrants a placeholder of 3.

Lovely indoor outdoor coffee house on the edge of a complex with many forms of entertainment, dining, and shopping. Picking up a coffee and walking to black feather vintage is a great way to take in all that the complex has to offer.b Stargazer's long hours make them a great destination to work or socialize. There is a playground in front along with a shaded corridor of tables. I enjoyed the cold brew, but look forward to returning for the cocktails. The complex has several free parking lots and there is free street parking nearby.

If you ever wonder what's the place for daytime raves and community events that are a little hippie, you should definitely visit stargazer. We had so much fun and this is our go-to place for lunch time coffee and also evening events that they host. There are very few coffee shops that have made the reputation that stargazer has especially with their innovative drink menu which takes coffee to the next level.

Stargazer Coffee Stargazer is a standout coffee shop tucked inside what looks like a converted warehouse, with soaring ceilings and a spacious, open layout that feels both industrial and thoughtfully designed. From the moment you walk in, you get the sense this place is about more than just coffee – it’s a creative hub with energy and style. We visited on a Sunday and were met with live DJ music, filling the space with deep, resonant sound thanks to excellent acoustics. The vibe was electric but relaxed, with a great crowd and an inviting atmosphere. There’s also a large patio for those who prefer to enjoy their coffee outdoors. Events seem to be a regular feature here – there was a posted schedule of upcoming happenings, hinting at how much more this space offers beyond the daily café experience. The coffee was great, the space inspiring, and the overall ambiance made it feel like one of Austin’s rising gems. Whether you’re here for a drink, music, or just soaking in the scene, Stargazer deserves a spot on your list. It feels like one of those places that’s about to become a local legend.

Chill vibe & atmosphere, delicious coffee, pastries, and ice cream, kid-friendly, shaded seating, indoor & outdoor areas, knowledgeable and friendly staff, well-maintained, and 3 food trucks to choose from on most days. We went on a Monday around noon when two of the three trucks opened with my 2 little daughters and a friend with her 3 little kids. The kids were entertained for 3 hours with the single rocketship tower (made of metal so the slide was too hot), and the wooden building blocks. My family ordered food from Santo Patio- a shrimp taco, 2 egg, cheese, and bacon tacos, and the beef machaga and egg taco- and our friends ordered from Dripping Springs Tender Co (Atlas Sandwhich Co isn't open Mondays) and we were both happy with our meals. I also ordered a hot half-caf oatmilk latte and blueberry cobbler bar for myself, and grabbed chocolate milks and Lick mint chocolate chip ice cream for the girls, all delicious! I love the mugs they use for the coffee and ice cream- they're cute and feel more cozy to hold. I will say their choice of slatted metal tables on the lower patio area isn't my favorite- a little less food & drink friendly with the gaps and slight unevenness but not a big deal. The music they had playing was perfect for a happy, cozy, chill environment. We will be back, but we live about 30 minutes away, otherwise we'd definitely be back more often!

Me and my friend visited for a drink and really thought this place was a vibe. We did not get to eat because the kitchen was closed, but definitely plan to go back.

Great food, great atmosphere, but what made the whole experience great was the service. Myles gets 10 starts. He asked if I had and food allergies and mentioned I’m gluten free and he went above and beyond and got me gluten free chips!

We absolutely loved this place. Great atmosphere, open plan indoor/outdoor seating surrounded by lots of live plants. They have great, affordable cocktails and coffee. There are food trucks outside and you are allowed to bring food from them inside while having a beverage. We came to see Angelo Moore and the Brand New Step. This was a pop up performance for SXSW with members from Fishbone, Thievery Corporation and the Cardboard People. By far the best live show I have seen in a while.

Super cute spot that feels modern and cozy, with plenty of seating and little nooks for conversation. Parking was easy for a Friday night, but the place itself was a little tricky to find since I didn't see an official sign. I was there for a social event so didn't get the chance to try more than one drink. I had an espresso martini and it was great, with just the right balance of alcohol. The bartenders were funny and friendly, which made the experience even better! Lots of drink options, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Definitely want to come back and try more!

One of the most unique spots I've ever been to Austin I've lived here for over 18 years and I can't believe that this was a hidden spot now will be my go to spot just cause of how gorgeous the environment is ambience way out of the top service was so diligent and quiet and nice was early in the morning just one opener and it just felt so homey. Drinks, what can we say about tea it was so good I can't believe that. It's just a hidden local spot that we could have all gone and visit and we should

THE BIG: Located in the Springdale neighborhood of east Austin, next to the rock climbing gym. Very vibey spot with good lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of parking in the lot outside. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here with the wife for a comedy show at Stargazer. The place is very unique with super tall ceilings and these giant disco balls hovering the air. There seemed to be a back area with more seating but that was closed off as the front portion was the comedy show. Also a nice little bar was off to the left side of the building for drinks. You can also BYOF, so we got a pizza from bambinos and ate it during the comedy show. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, I spent around $10 for a drink here and definitely would come back to chill or watch another comedy show.

Part coffee shop, part. cocktail bar, party cutesy venue - I envision small open mic nights or comedy shows in this space. And guess what, when I checked their website I saw that they do all of that and more. Book swaps, trivia night, concerts... I met up with a colleague for a caffeinated meeting - though we were both so tempted to try the frozen aperol spritz! I'll def return for that. The wifi worked, the tunes were good, loved all the plant vibes. Only thing that wasn't so great was being swarmed by flies. Dunno why, but they were obsessed with my matcha.

Hello Stargazer!! Wow, this place was like a maze to find and tucked behind Eastside paddleball-hidden toward the back of the buildings. You turn right, walk all the way down until you see an open patio area and then turn left (please add appropriate signage!) There is parking behind the building, however there's limited parking in front on the weekend as it's extremely busy. Now I love a good coffee-wine bar but this one was meh. The only reason I came to Stargazer was for the collab event with Masshole! I've been wanting to try this food truck for the phenomenal Lobster!! As I was walking to the Masshole food truck I was confused by the Stargazer sign that said no outside food.. very off for a coffee shop that serves no food and collabs with the local food trucks right outside. This should be fixed. Service was pretty slow and extremely nonchalant. No friendly hello or warm service. I ordered a strawberry matcha and it was mostly milk, no strawberry and no matcha taste. They don't offer or suggest non dairy milk option which is shocking for a coffee shop in Austin. I was pretty disappointed in the service here and most of all my $9.33 matcha. I will say the inside is decorated nicely, it's chill and pretty with lots of plants and high ceilings. That was my experience but try it out for yourself.

Cool spot with coffee and cocktails. Great place to work from on a Friday. One note is would be great to have sweetness and oat milk out so that I don't have to keep disturbing the barista. Didn't love the taco truck outside (portions are huge) but the Greek sandwich truck is a must try.

Saw signs for this place so felt inspired to check it out for a Friday happy hour and what a delight that was. It was busy in the front area with people wrapping up their work day. Super casual, especially since it's a coffee shop in the morning. The back area is a secret gem. It looks so fun! I want to bring some friends back here. The bartender was telling us about all the fun events they have throughout the week like open mic nights and comedy. Definitely need to check them out. The frozen margarita had a $5 deal. I'm not sure if it was just for Fridays or an everyday happy hour thing. The frozen Aperol Spritz was really something special. They didn't have any food besides pasties but Handsome Dan's next door had some snacks so we enjoyed that with our drinks from Stargazer outside on the shared patio. Great time and WILL be returning!

I am here in Austin and always looking for new spots for drinks and coffee. Stargazer has an excellent selection of cocktails and coffees. I loved my Cosmic Cruiser cocktail made with Toto's vodka, raspberry and blood orange syrup. With a great indoor outdoor ambience Stargazer is wonderful for a lazy day with your kids and pets. I can imagine it's also great to work or study during the week, or play boardgames with friends over the weekend.

This place sits on busy Springdale Rd tucked behind some other businesses. It's actually almost not even visible from the road. It should be mentioned that parking can be a real problem during peak hours. As the other reviewers have already mentioned, it is a good place to bring your friends, the kids, your laptop and your dog. Connected to this business is Hansome Dan's bait shop, a climbing place and other businesses. The place is divided into two parts by a line of oak barrels. At the entrance is the bar and several tables to sit at while music plays loudly overhead. Behind the barrels is a room that can be rented out for private events or overflow. The back room still shows traces of the former East Ciders tank farm footprints. There's also plenty of seating outside under umbrellas and shade trees. There's also a small live music stage, but there's only one unisex bathroom inside. You'll find a couple of cozy couch nook areas and a foosball table. Perhaps due to the high ceilings the AC struggles to keep it cool. Along with coffee and some decent alcoholic drinks, including frozen drinks, they have baked goods and ice cream. One thing I noticed is that as the evening starts to cool off with the setting sun, it becomes a relaxed and romantic place setting. 10 informative photos to get you more familiar with the business.

Cute little spot to hang out with your kiddos or your pup. They have coffee and cocktails, and there are some food trucks outside. I'm super hyped for Atlas to open up our front

Absolutely loved the vibe of Stargazer! Funky, unique, and quintessentially Austin. I love the coffee bar by day, cocktail bar by night concept. My book club met up here at around 7pm on a Friday night. We enjoyed the cocktails and beer options very much, and appreciated the variety of food trucks onsite to choose from. I found this spot to be very specious with ample indoor and outdoor seating (the misters are a nice plus for the hot weather!). They even have a play area for kids. I'll definitely be back!

Austin Eastciders has new life (as of 2024)! I love that the old signage is still up too. The concept here is really great. I particularly like the play area and the rocket ship playscape. This coffee shop/cocktail bar/beer endeavor is really fantastic. It's a huge warehouse space that's totally got a brewery vibe happening. I dig the various seating throughout whether it's tables, living area seating, or the bar. Huge outdoor patio as well. Good drinks. They have a really decent mocktail menu too and I really appreciate that. Nice selection of draft beers as well as ciders. Great environment. Welcoming and comfortable.

Overall super chill spot near East Side Paddle Club. Gave me toga studio vibes with their mellow music and overall decor, while still paying homage to Austin Eastciders. Definitely would come back to this place and hang or work. Prices are a little on the higher side imo.

Stargazer is the newest occupant of the former Eastsiders space. It's a super cute, bohemian coffee and cocktail spot thats perfect to hang out and yap. The owners have created cozy corners that are perfect to have deep conversations and even a spot in the back where events can be held. For me, I felt their specialty drinks--whether coffee or cocktails--were a bit too eccentric. The space theme is fun, but the offerings need work-- offer more simple drink options and offer more food items.

Loved the vibe here! Gorgeous atmosphere to chill or meet some friends for a few drinks on a beautiful day. The drinks are a bit overpriced, but I guess you are paying for the ambiance as well. Definitely check it out!

Cute spot! There is a nice selection of seating, good for dates, meetings or coworking. You can order food from the food trucks or coffee/alcohol from the counter. I haven't loved their specialty coffees, they have been a bit too sweet or had a weird aftertaste, but that just might be me. They also have Lick ice cream and Lazarus beer on tap, which is awesome! I haven't seen that anywhere else. I like that there is a big back space, seems good for large groups or events. My only dislike is that the music is always too loud. It's too loud for taking calls, getting work done, or really even chatting. Not sure what's up with that. Otherwise, love it!

I really have no idea why you'd give this place anything other than 5 stars! Sure the (signature) drinks are a $8 bucks instead of the $7 at Starbucks but they're unique and more importantly you're getting access to an amazingly decorated place to sit, chill, work for a few hours, get dinner/dessert, watch Rick and Morty, play free ping pong/pool, enjoy some free music and/or enjoy a free show, oh sorry I'm rambling. As far as service, some thoughts... sometimes you have a bad experience with someone, sometimes the interaction is weird, sometimes things are slow... but you know what, that's a human you are interacting with who's navigating the same situation and in this case you can actually affect some of how that happens or tends to be. I'm talking about doing something low key or something that might help encourage a better interaction indirectly. Anyway, rambling again... This place is a hidden gem, period.

Stumbled upon this spot years ago and have been in love ever since. Casual vibe with lots of drink options and different beers on tap. A nice spot to bring the kiddos to play (they have a big structure) or group of friends for a nice happy hour outside. They also have various food trucks if you're hungry! Love this place.

This is one of my new favorite coffee shops! I ordered a pistachio cappuccino and it was so good. Really cute vibes inside and outside, had a good kolache. Food trucks outside. Tons of parking. Good WiFi. My only complaint is that the music inside is a bit louder than I'd like (using the space to work in the morning/afternoon), but it's not unbearable.

THOMAS WAS AMAZING!!!! We had the best time ever. We had some time to waste before the theater show and we chose to go to Stargazer. Best decision we could have made! Thomas took care of us and entertained us for an hour.

Great place to have morning hours. We had Jazz music in the morning. Cocktails and coffee were amazing, they were just 11 days in after opening. There were two trucks(Dipping Springs Tender Co and Santo Patio taco truck) serving really good foods. Stargazers had some breakfast options like bagels, sandwiches etc, and pizza.

Food: to-go sandwiches and OK food trucks. Service is always pretty good. Taps and drink selection makes me miss the old Eastciders. So expensive! The place is decorated nicely and the seating is comfortable. I love the patio. Here's the rub: We used to come for the music. One guitar player singing original songs. The new line-up feels...senior...as in citizens. A quartet singing slow songs and rapping up by 8-10pm? I thought I was in Austin!?!

We just stumbled upon this spot as a way to get our toddlers energy out but it ended up being so much more than that. Their wines were incredible and then we got an old fashioned that blew our minds! It was like Christmas in a glass! Truly an amazing cocktail bar in Austin with a lot of shaded outside space

Nice space, friendly staff... wonderful Jazz trio with harp, drums, and woodwinds... Enjoyed Lunar Landing... Mezcal + Lime + Pineapple... want to try the Mezcal sampler... Outside space looks good for warmer days

Went recently for the first (and last) time. Encountered three different staff here for various questions/ordering; unfortunately every one of them have a piss-poor attitude. Not sure why.

love this spot! i've been multiple times already, had a cool indoor jungle feel with so much light! great outdoor seating and the food trucks outside are so fire. coffee is SO good- the tea is hit/miss depending on who's making the london fog but i really love hanging out here and spending time.

let me start off by saying that everyone is entitled to a bad day, however, it seems like no matter what the staff here is so dry

The best coffee place with the sweetest people, vibe is immaculate, and has the BEST taco truck outside!
