Trianon Coffee — Restaurant in West Lake Hills

Here is what you need to know before coming to Trianon coffee:

It's tucked away behind and next door to Walgreens off Bees Cave road.

Parking is shared with number of other businesses so it will vary throughout the day.

Once inside the coffee shop itself is magnificent for those looking for comfy seating with outlets and reliable Wi-Fi.

They play chill techno Rhapsody music spanning the last 40 years and never creates an atmosphere that takes away from the peaceful serenity of the location.

Bathrooms are constantly kept clean and they have two bathrooms available.

Employees here are super nice and helpful with the large variety of coffee flavors unique to the location that you can buy in bulk or try on the spot.

It can also make custom Italian sodas with a variety of other drink options.

This location does get popular in the afternoon with kids getting off school packing the building so pick your timing wisely.

Otherwise this location also has a large number of tools to help you brew your best coffee at home as well.

Only suggestion for improvement is they have a very low selection of items to actually eat.

They have bakery items and breakfast tacos (Taco Deli) but those usually run out by 10:00 a.m. and from there they have a very limited menu to work with.

So in summer a great place to bring family or choose to sit down and get some work done from your computer and plug in and have somebody meet you with even two meeting rooms to work with...

The first latte of my life was at Trianon in 2000. I was 11 and a student at Hill Country Middle School. It was the beginning of a life-long drug addiction. Back then the smell of burnt toast wafted over the playground at Hill Country every Tuesday. It was roasting day at Trianon. The first student to reach Trianon after school could earn a pound of free coffee for helping load freshly roasted product into the van. My friends and I sprinted like crazy children down the hill as if pursued by demons. In truth we were pursued by the demons of our hormone induced confusion, burgeoning existential dread, unwitting allegiance to the American doctrine of competition and our now firmly entrenched caffeine addictions. As my demons were the most compelling, I often arrived first. I took refuge in the golden-brown liquid peddled by baristas who were both friends and counselors to a lost child wallowing in the brutal ongoing divorce of my parents which had brought me to Texas. Trianon was a second home to me. It was a place of worship where I could experience peace and tranquility. 23 years later, I sit writing this review. Many things have changed. I am a fully grown man. Trianon is in a new location and most of the faces behind the counter are new. However, the latte I drink now is identical. Delicious...

I've never understood Trianon at it's first location but today is my time since they moved somewhere around 3 years ago. I expected them to hit the reset button on the look and feel of the place but they didn't. It's completely filthy dirty everywhere. The floors and so dirty and the mats look like they have never even been vacuumed since they were put on the floor.

The napkin holder has food and gross stuff all over it and you can tell it's been there for quite some time. The furniture and tables is cheap, uncomfortable old and dirty. ALL the tables have some type of debris on them from past customers and it's not packed and the staff has time to come and clean them but they dont. I can see a thick layer of dust of the window sill and ledges. This place needs someone who cares about it.

Coffee is not the best either. The staff, I can say is very sweet and polite. Trianon can do much better but they don't seem to care. This place seems to be on auto-pilot. I think I'll stick with Summer Moon...
