"Try Hard Coffee, which opened in 2020 and closed in April due to financial difficulties, was previously located at 1115 East 11th Street, the same spot now taken over by Radio Rosewood." - Nadia Chaudhury

"A Central East Austin coffee shop closed abruptly over the weekend. Try Hard Coffee Roasters had its last day of service at 1115 East 11th Street on Sunday, April 28." - Nadia Chaudhury

"The Central East Austin cafe offers expertly crafted coffees made with house-roasted beans, and there are fun seasonal drinks. Plus the food menu means there are all sorts of tacos, and more. Takeout orders can be placed in person or online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell

"Maybe you just made your way through a six-hour stint in the Franklin Barbecue line down the street and find yourself in desperate need of some non-brisket energy, or maybe you just want a good cup of coffee in a chill space in East Austin. Try Hard is where music and coffee lovers unite in one of those “epic handshake memes”—though admittedly, we don’t have many coffee friends who aren’t also into music—with DJs spinning vinyl almost every day of the week. In addition to drip coffee, cold brew, and espresso-based drinks made with house-roasted beans, you'll also find a few seasonal drinks that give you a reason to keep going back. photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel photo credit: Richard Casteel" - Nicolai McCrary

"The colorful, trendy cafe in Central East Austin is armed with a full coffee menu and a handful of house drinks, including the Legacy, which is a sparkling iced coffee concoction with lime juice and hibiscus coconut foam. Takeout orders can be placed in person; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Eric Webb
