Stouthaus Coffee - Sunset Valley — Restaurant in Sunset Valley

In every city I've lived, I have always had a favorite coffeeshop, but Stouthaus holds a special place in my heart. I can't put my finger on exactly what it is... Yes, the coffee is delicious (lot's of places have delicious coffee), the atmosphere is great (like other coffeeshops too), baristas are personable, friendly, attentive (not uncommon). It's kind of inexplicable... I don't drink alcohol, so the bar feature isn't something I care about. The food is good, but it's just basic oatmeal, pastries, Taco Deli, etc. And if I am being really honest, the chairs and benches are kind of hard and not comfortable for extended periods of time. And yet, I eagerly and happily return, almost daily, because I just love being here. If I go on vacation or can't come by for a few days, I actually MISS it. It is my sanctuary, my magic vortex of productivity, my happy place.

Thank you, Stouthaus! I am so grateful that you are in my...

This has been my favorite coffee in Austin since I first visited about a year ago. This weekend, I moved away so I'll no longer be able to visit. But, as I had to return keys to my old apartment, I stopped in for one lasted iced oak milk mocha latte. I pre-ordered, and to my dismay, I walked in to find a HOT coffee. I had rushed through my order and I made this mistake.

I told the woman behind the counter, I had meant to order an iced version, so I would just re-order a new one, since it was my mistake. She began making the iced version as I got in line - only for her to wave me out of line and tell me it was OK to just take the iced version.

Through this year I have had excellent service here, and this last iced latte - - - was perfect. Thank you to this woman for giving me grace today! The last 2 days of moving have been brutal, and I needed this perfect iced mocha latte (basically adult...

Hands down the BEST coffee shop in south Austin!!! This is our family’s favorite chill spot. The baristas are super friendly and know you and your order; bonus is that they are all cool people with varying interests/hobbies. My partner gets an espresso every time, I love their masala chai latte and Mexican mocha, and they make my 6 yr old the yummiest “steamers”. As an indecisive person when it comes to new drinks, I appreciate them explaining new drinks to me and what flavors go together. They have Taco Deli tacos which taste better here because they’ve been in the heater and the cheese is melted and yummy. Their selection of bakery items are excellent and they just started making delicious milkshakes too! They also sell handmade goods such as mugs and soap which are perfect for a pick-me-up. They have an indoor and outdoor seating space which is a nice perk. Love, love, LOVE...
