Cannon Coffee — Restaurant in Austin

I was in the center for another reason, but when I saw the coffee shop, decided to try it. I ordered an iced oat milk latte, and then when I got to my car and tasted it, I would have to say that next to a Turkish coffee in NYC many years ago, it was the most disgusting coffee I ever tasted. It was so bitter that I had to throw it away. I've not only had, but also made coffees with some mild bitter aftertaste, but this was way beyond that. It started and ended bitter. Although I have never had the H.E.B. oat milk which was used, I think it was primarily the shot that made this so awful. But, just as you may judge any business by the ingredients or materials they use, this is the only coffee shop I've ever been to that doesn't use one of the major brands of oat milk. I'm sure the reason is the cost, so I would have to suspect the coffee selection is probably similar. Maybe their drip coffee is drinkable, but I would certainly never get any espresso drink there again. And, I speak from quite a bit of experience, owning Pasquini Livia 90 and Saeco Royal Coffee Bar espresso machines and 2 Technivorm Moccamaster drip coffee machines. I have had coffee from many dozens of shops all over the country, yet none have been as memorable for serving an undrinkable beverage. Sorry for the scathing review, but there is absolutely no excuse for what ended...

I recently had a disappointing experience at Cannon Coffee Shop that frustrated me. On Sunday, I received a lukewarm coffee during my visit. Today (Monday), I decided to share this feedback with the staff member who had served me the lukewarm coffee yesterday. To my surprise, she responded in a defensive, nasty, and dismissive manner, which only added to my disappointment. Surprisingly, someone in a customer-facing role in a coffee shop couldn’t accept feedback regarding the coffee-making process. I didn’t catch her name, but she’s the only staff member under 5 feet tall. Her attitude was unexpectedly negative, especially since I tried to provide constructive feedback about my coffee. Her reaction was incredibly unprofessional, leaving me quite disillusioned with the establishment. It was disheartening to encounter such hostility and nastiness when I only wanted to help improve the service. Despite this disappointing experience, I am hopeful that management will take note of this behavior and take steps to ensure a more welcoming environment in the future. Anyone with her nasty attitude should NOT be in a role that serves the public. With the right actions, Cannon Coffee Shop can continue to provide...

The space is inviting, the vibe is relaxed but creative, and the quality of the drinks is consistently top-notch.

A special shoutout to Sydney, who truly makes every visit exceptional. She’s not only an expert at crafting the perfect cup, but she also remembers your name, your order, and always has a genuine smile that brightens your day. Her passion for what she does shows in every interaction—Canon Coffee is lucky to have her!
