Revolución — Restaurant in Austin

If I was the owner/manager, I would be concerned. The faire was pretty good. When I asked about portions of the açaí bowls. The employees at the counter looked at each other and shrugged, responding with “I don’t know” and “I guess 12 ounces”. They made no effort to confirm; they were satisfied with giving me a lackadaisical answer. Many people who go here are health conscious, so being informed on the portion sizing should be second nature for staff. Between customer orders, the 4 or 5 staff members seemed content with leaning against the wall, chatting and laughing. This was interesting , seeing as when I sat down I noticed stains on the table from the previous guest. A fundamental of the restaurant service industry is time to lean = time to clean. Another awkward issue was when my partner went up to the counter to add sweetener to his coffee. If you’ve been to this location, you know that there are multiple stations scattered throughout their service counter for self service(utensils, condiments, etc). Between these stations are their espresso machines with pourable syrup bottles. Since everything is scattered, it’s near impossible to decipher whether something is self-serve or for staff use only. My partner, not wanting to interrupt the private conversation of the employees, decided to use pour some of the regular sweetener into his coffee. He was met with awkward glances and silence from the staff members. Following their silence, they began whispering to each other. If this was an issue, this needed to be communicated to my partner. However, this all could have been avoided if 1. The counter was organized, with signage and 2. The staff members offered assistance as soon as my partner walked up to the counter. This place has potential, but the staff members gave off an atmosphere of...

Overall: 2.6/5 [take out]

We were touring Hanover Branson Street, and this place was nearby so I decided to put in an online order for two specialty drinks. The shop itself has a cozy vibe--there's a tiny market and newspapers on the tables, which make it feel like a nice spot to hang out. It also wasn't sweet so I added in honey which helped a bit.

When we arrived, two employees were chatting at the register and only started preparing our order after I mentioned it. The barista didn't seem enthusiastic, and unfortunately, that lack of care was reflected in the quality of the drinks.

The store itself is nice and looks like a great place to hang out. They had newspaper on the table for you to read and a tiny market.

ACA Blue ($6) + Homemade Almond Milk ($1) + Honey Lavendar ($0.50): This drink is made with milk, matcha, and blue majik. The matcha flavor was very light, and the blue majik gave it a grainy texture that was unpleasant and even irritated my throat, making me cough a few times. I couldn't taste the honey lavender at all, and the drink wasn't sweet enough. Adding extra honey helped a little, but it still tasted average at best. Very surprised that this drink was highly recommended.

Iced Chagacinno ($6.50) + Coconut Milk ($0.75) + Cinnamon (free): This drink includes a double shot of espresso, milk, chaga powder, and simple syrup. Unfortunately, the combination didn't work for me. The coconut milk left small white clumps, and the ice melted too quickly, leaving a watery layer on top. As time passed, the drink became more diluted and...

Where to begin. Let’s start with the hamburgesa. A word salad of couture vegetables contributed to one of the most inedible burgers I’ve ever had: “Served on a local vegan grilled bun. vegan homemade tangy burger sauce. organic homemade pickles using Gundermann Acres Farms cucumbers. red onions. Perdernales Valley Farms homegrown tomatoes. Vegan patty and artisanal vegan cheese.” All of these couture vegetables and buns served with a sliver of a Beyond Meat patty. They couldn’t even be bothered to make a patty in house. The burger came out lukewarm with “organic chips.” When I read “organic chips,” I thought potato chips. This meal was served with broken lime dusted tortilla chips. 11 spectacular TORTILLA CHIPS with a thimble of hot sauce? IKYFL. I wish I took a picture of this sad sandwich so you could really see how inappropriate that meal was. FIFTEEN DOLLARS FOR AN INFERIOR BURGER MADE WITH COUTURE VEGETABLES AND A SIDE OF BROKEN TORTILLA CHIPS. I couldn’t even eat it. Let’s get to the mid burrito served “artisanal cheese” with a side of broken tortilla chips. My son took twenty minutes to eat it because I was so devoid of joy. The ONLY redeeming thing they had were the tamales and the chai latte. I guess coffee is their thing? I’d only sell tamales and coffee if I were them. Fifteen...
