"Multitasking is great until you face plant while walking and texting simultaneously, but sometimes it works well and you end up with a place like Brew & Brew. It’s the kind of coffee shop/bar where you can network while being surrounded by “entrepreneurs,” custom motorcycle designers, and grad students avoiding working on their theses. Swing by during their daily happy hour for a post-work caffeine boost and to try any of the 30+ beers and ciders on tap." - nicolai mccrary, adele hazan, katherine lewin
"Comfort food at its finest. The bar is front and center at brunch where mixologists whip up homemade Bloody Mary’s and light mimosas to go along with your chicken & waffles." - A Taste of Koko
"Brew & Brew is the kind of coffee shop/bar where you can sip on a cappuccino, surrounded by “entrepreneurs,” custom motorcycle designers, and grad students avoiding their theses—sometimes, all in the same person. This spot is located on a busy corner in the heart of East Austin, and it’s one of the single best places in town to do some people-watching over a great cup of drip coffee or espresso. Beans are sourced from lots of local roasteries—many of which you’ll find on this very list—so you can kind of treat this as a one-stop shop for sampling and finding your own favorite." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
"Coffee and beer are on equal footing at this East Austin cafe. For the hoppy beverages, there are nearly 40 rotating taps with a heavy local emphasis. Pair the pour with breakfast sandwiches that are sold until 3 p.m. Pro-tip: doing both a beer and an iced coffee is a great move to keep the energy up. The eclectic taproom is mainly decorated with bottles and mismatched furniture, with a few tables outside." - Nadia Chaudhury
"This Scandinavian-sparse cafe with a hilarious menu is a popular place to park indoors or outdoors with a laptop. Though the focus is on coffee and beer, there’s a full bar with drinks like a pistachio martini and several coffee cocktails. Food-wise, there are bagels and schmears and sandwiches, also available to-go." - Erin Russell
