_______________________________________________________________
Starting off within their cottage, Teal House Coffee & Bakery is a family-owned business with a brick and mortar along South Congress. I went around 8:30 a.m. on a Wednesday. Here's my experience:
1) Food: They are known for their cinnamon buns. I ordered one and expected a life-changing experience for all the hype. My cinnamon bun was lukewarm, hard to cut with the plastic fork provided and tasted average. On the other hand, the jalapeno sausage and cheese kolache was great!
2) Coffee: Again, I expected more. My vanilla latte was barely vanilla or sweet. When I went to add sugar, all they had were small packets of sugar alternatives, which is better for you, but I'd appreciate the option of real sugar at least. Also, when I ordered, I asked for a 20 ounce cup and was given a 12 ounce cup.
3) Space: True to its name, the counter has teal tiles. Outside of that, the space is pretty simple. There's an open dining room with a few tables and a few tables outside. If you're on your computer, know the windows let all the light in so it's hard to see your screen. Don't miss the murals on the outside back of the shop.
4) Amenities: They have a password-protected wifi, but it was on two bars. It was so weak, I couldn't access wifi on my computer. I had to leave after ten minutes to go elsewhere.
I LOVE this coffee shop's story and it is worthy of visiting. I just didn't have the best of experiences compared to the 10 other coffee shops I visited while in Austin.
Good price point and seems like a great neighborhood spot. Pastries and coffee need work however.
Decent spot, but nothing too special. Spacious and provide room for people to chill and work.
Friendly staff who will come by your table and check on you, good strong coffee, plenty of pastry options. Indoor and outdoor seating with tables big enough for multiple laptops. A great spot both for getting some work done and catching up with a friend.
