One of my favorite places to study. they have nice tables and reliable wifi. it’s a cool place to look through as well. their lavender latte is great too, and the baristas are super nice

Definitely one of the most iconic places in whole Austin. A huge eclectic shop in a relatively quite corner of downtown. They make great hot & iced coffees, smoothies. No validation for parking so you either should pay premium rear parking or find a spot around. I’m not into biking but this is probably an oasis for those who are 🚲

One of the best places to get coffee in town. Their coffee tastes amazing! Also the customer service is outstanding.

If I lived downtown you would find me here every day. I love reading and writing on the porch (old loading dock) and watching people walk by and guessing what they’re up to.

Came to the bike shop with my girlfriend to buy a tire and stopped by the coffee shop to see if anything looked tempting. We are from Miami so we asked the guys at the coffee shop for a recommendation around town. As two of the employees tried to help, LEO interrupted and said to us ladies Have you heard of google? or the internet? its stated around 1990.- with a very nasty attitude- I could not believe this guy was seriously saying that and asked him to repeat and LEO had the balls to do so.Sorry, not stepping foot here ever again nor will I recommend this place to anyone. No one deserves this type of service. And as for management, they should reconsider this employee.

Excellent coffee and excellent service! Definitely my favorite coffee shop in Austin. They make consistently one of the best cortados in Austin. If youre looking for a smoothie, the Brown Cow is by far the best.

This is not only an iconic spot in Austin, but also they make great coffee and the service is excellent.I’ve never seen so many bikes in my life!

Little pricey but nice coffee and place to work

This was such a cool place. Great people here and the energy within the bike shop work perfectly. We will definitely be back once in Austin again. Good coffee and good selections of snacks and tacos. Also we brought our dog here, who received a bunch of attention.

Really tasty coffee. I had the Cortada and my husband had the cappacino. The cinnamon roll was amazing. Really kind staff and very friendly. Great quiet place to read or visit with people. Pop in down here

Pleasantly surprised by how great the coffee was at this place!

Friendly people here and great food and drinks!

Pretty much the go-to coffee spot. Its got a great atmosphere being inside a bike shop, too. Also really neat punch cards for free coffee every now and then.

Good ambience they should be a little more flexible if not i gave them.5 stars

My favorite coffee place in Austin. Even the croissants taste really good!

Love how early its open. Great place for bicycle commuters since its in Mellow Johnnys bike shop and good place to work and meetup.

Very abruptly told me to go across the street since none of their food has meat. They have a very elitist and snooty attitude.

Horrible experience. They take your money and allow you to buy food and beverages but wont let you to go inside to use the bathroom. Employee cites the owner has a lot of expensive stuff in the store so they cannot let people in before 11:00 a.m.I guess they need to figure out their process to allow people to use the bathroom when they purchase food and drinks. So they are losing my business. So theyre happy to take your money and then treat you like garbage

Love this place - great espresso and friendly staff

Juan Pelota is a great little spot located within Mellow Johnnys Bike Shop. It is located in a wonderful spot downtown. On a nice day, there is a small patio where you can sit out and enjoy people watching. Watching the bikers come in from long rides is fun, too!Everyone at Juan Pelota is friendly and kind. They welcome people & dogs of all walks of life :)They offer breakfast tacos until they run out, as well as sweet baked goods that are a nice treat.One thing of note is their chai tea latte is not very chai-y. It has more of a berry taste to it, and is not what youd expect if you order chai teas elsewhere. Wouldnt order it again from here but would definitely return for the snacks, ambiance and welcoming staff!

This is a great cafe located in an Austin bike shop. The coffee is top notch. Normally I don’t try flavored lattes but they had a special one called the Azteca latte with chocolate and cayenne pepper and it was so incredibly well done - not too sweet and not overpowering in anyway.They’ve got plenty of seating and outlets if you come here to work. The vibe is really great because the ceilings are high and they have glass doors that open up onto the street.Also, don’t forget to try the breakfast tacos because they are also really good and they will hit the spot.Definitely a place I would come to hang out, meet up for coffee with someone, or just buckle down and get some work done.

Great coffee!

Gotta have Lances coffee. Not much of a destination as Mellow Johnnys, but definitely the right thing to do when visiting the store. Coffee was good and it was fun to sit at the outside counter.

I never got coffee there before but I always go into Johnnys shop to get my bike worked on and they have excellent service there and if the bike service is great then I know the coffee is even greater

Cute space. Also a great location to start a walk-- over the bridge, alongside the creek to the downtown library.

Tried the Oat Milk Latte. It was absolutely fantastic. The staff was very friendly and the coffee tasted great. What more could you want? Oh maybe a whole bike store. Thats always nice.

Cool coffee shop inside a bike store.

One of my go to coffee shops in Austin. Great coffee and scones and a fast and friendly staff!

One of my favorite coffee shops in Austin and it might be the smells of the rubber in the bike shop in the same building that keeps me coming. I appreciate the friendliness of the staff and the simplicity of this space.While I wouldnt say this is where I go for artisan roasted coffee with expensive milk, etc - Im also not always looking for that. If youre downtown and just want a coffee and a not too loud place to have conversation - consider Juan Pelota (and the name makes me giggle - because Im apparently immature)

Awesome gathering place for cyclists and cycling enthusiasts. This coffee shop is located inside Mellow Johnny’s . Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable... who knows, you may run into Lance enjoying a beverage after a ride.

Chill vibes and spacious, very drinkable coffee. Classic taco deli taco delivery here, but additional snacks, pastries, and smoothies seem to abound. Morning on a Saturday its quiet enough to work on a computer, though I only see a few outlets.

Love Juan Pelota. Inexpensive yet high quality coffee. Plenty of seating, great vibe all around. I’ve also used Mellow Johnny’s bike shop (collocated) on multiple occasions.

Great tacos and coffee!!

Great place for morning coffee and a breakfast burrito or a snack. Prices are very fair and everything I ordered was very good. I would usually walk through the bike shop and check out all the high-end equipment in the showroom. I visited 5 or 6 times while I was in town. I will be back.

Favorite cold brew in Austin. Also, my favorite spot to linger and work for a few hours. If you get there early, they have some pretty legit breakfast tacos too. No gluten free tortillas though

Service not as good as it used to be. Thinking of boycotting. They stopped supporting the police department bicycle patrols.

Hipster coffee in a bike store. Doesnt get more Austin than this!

The staff here is super friendly and quick to get your order out. I have never had anything but great coffee here! Its just down the street from republic square so its a perfect spot to stop in for some coffee while youre downtown.

I got a iced caramel latte before coming to work and I loved it! The staff was really friendly and quick when making my coffee. Would definitely go again

Interesting set-up of a coffee shop inside a bike shop.Coffee was good, atmosphere not so much.

Their oat milk latte is phenomenal. Try the medium one! I’ve never had a better oat milk latte elsewhere. The delicate proportion of espresso and milk is the key thing!

This place is so cute! The bike shop is amazing and we even could hang out there with our new puppy 😍

Comfortable coffee shop. Plenty of outlets. It’s an amazing bike shop though

One of the best experiences in a cafe in my life! The music was playing that 90s Rap like nobody cared. Coffee was good and atmosphere was even better! This is how an urban coffee should be presented! Thanks Juan Pelota! As I am typing the cafe is playing Bone Thugs in Harmony!

Amazing coffee and huge selection of biking gear! This is a top notch spot to spend some time working or chatting. It is conveniently located so once you get hooked it is easy to swing by and grab a coffee when running around downtown. However, parking can be tricky - biking or walking is probably best.

JP Id a great coffee shop. Super friendly staff and great atmosphere. I particularly like this coffee shop because in the morning they have delicious tacos from a local food truck, and they make their own tasty smoothies. Internet is decent and usually a good crowd for people watching.

Shame about the parking. Ive visited here a few times while passing through Austin. The cafe has good coffee, and I enjoy browsing the fancy bikes and sometimes buying a new multitool. I was going to visit again but when I pulled into the lot I saw it was now paid parking. This was a rainy Saturday afternoon and the lot was almost empty. There were no signs saying how much parking cost, but when I got to the kiosk it was $2/hour. I would understand paying that if the lot was almost full, but I can tell now why it was empty.Rather than pay that much for the privilege of buying coffee I got back in my car and went elsewhere. I hope they will introduce (better?) dynamic pricing that doesnt keep their lot empty.

Hooray for places like Juan Pelota Cafe. Serving tasty coffee with delicious pastries and awesome smoothies. For a short time I was up super early to go swimming and this was the only place I could grab coffee on my way back home from the pool. The thing is, Id probably still go here if there were 10 other options available because of how good the coffee and service are. Just a great, Austin-y place. Oh, and its connected to the best bike shop in town (Mellow Johnnys)

Went in one morning to study for an hour and grab a coffee. Loved the busy nature of the place. Great atmosphere to get some work done.

Building caught my eye. Has an artsy retro vibe. Great espresso and grabbed a local kombucha tea as well.

The pastries here are always moist and fresh, I would reccommend the Iced coffee and the chocolate crissont. The service is amazing and all deserve promotions.

Im just here for the Azteca. Im sure everything else is lovely. The folks behind the counter are super friendly and they have great taste in music.

Witty (Juan ball... One ball... Lance Armstrong...) and great coffee at this spot. Popular with cyclists bc its part of a bike shop, a nice little coffee joint. The decor is cutesy and fun. The coffee is good.

Nice baristas, decent breakfast-snack selection and coffee drinks in a superb location. I especially love the outdoor seating! And the fact that you can get your bike primped inside while you work.

The staff here is so helpful and friendly. I love coming her to study. Its nice to sit outside and watch cyclists come in. Laid back Austin atmosphere. Get a drink and maybe something the eat at Royal Blue Grocery across the street!

Great espresso drinks, cool air conditioning, plus plenty of seats make this a great place to park it and get your coffee on.

Delicious Drip Coffee- get a for here cup and they reward you with a refill on the house.Lots of outlets- great vibe.Im not a biker or have any knowledge of biking gear but I know enough to say they have a good selection of bikes and clothing.Wonderful baristas.

Amazing coffee and smoothies. Bonus-in the mornings they have Tacodeli breakfast tacos.

We love to stop by after our runs. Great atmosphere

This place looked nice from the outside but it definitely wasnt great as a coffee shop overall. The staff are pretty nice, but its more a stop for the people coming in for the biking shop. Speaking of which, the smell of rubber from the bike shop makes enjoying your coffee a bit difficult. I also wasnt a big fan of the cinnamon roll since it broke apart much too easily for one to eat - is the glaze supposed to be crunchy?Also, not really a big deal to me but worth noting to some - wifi is a bit slow.

Very cool bike shop/ coffee shop in Austin. Great quality coffee and espresso drinks for a decent price. Good in a food town.

Great staff and superb Coffee. Make sure to ask for a punch card each 7th coffee is for free1111

I called to see if they had whole bean coffee bags from a specific a brand I wanted, and the person answering the phone abruptly said, We do not and hung up. I am disappointed with the rude tone I got over the phone when I am just a customer asking a simple question.

Great, local coffee shop. Service is quick even when there’s a line.

Great coffee - favorite drink: cappuccino. friendly and helpful people work there. indoor and outdoor sitting; plus bicycles everywhere; during big Pro Tour races Juan Pelota shows them on TVs.

Excellant staff and coffee. A nice place to rest while waiting for my bike tune up.

Good oat late. Has oat and almond milks, not soy, unfortunately.

Great place. The store offers organized bike rides. If you are lucky youll see Lance hanging around

Love this place! So cozy and relaxed. Excellent coffee and teas! One of my favorites.

The Cortada here is the closest to South Miami Beach I have enjoyed in a long time!!

Super nice baristas always. Low key, chill place just off the beaten path, behind a bike store. The lattes are lovely.

Fun place, great service, and right next to the Hobby buildings parking garage, so its a great location to grab some coffee and breakfast before work in the morning! The pastries come from Elizabeth Street Cafe, so they are of course delicious, and the coffee is some of the best around. Oh, and the baristas do latte art, which is an added bonus!

Fantastic coffee inside a bike shop. It was a pleasant surprise. I got an iced americano and it was delicious. Way better than the chain coffee shop down the street.

Neat idea and like the atmosphere. Coffee was great.

Its a nice space. Does Lance Armstrong still own this place? That question takes away from it a bit

I wish they never played punk music. Other than that this place is great. They have showers for cyclists in the adjoining bike shop. They have great coffee and tea, solid WiFi, indoor and outdoor seating, and some snack options like, croissants, yogurt, muffins and fancy chocolate. (They used to carry some pastries from a local gluten-free bakery. They may still.) They also make simple smoothies and have some cellophane wrapped sandwiches and wraps for sale, pre-made by good local vendors.

Excellent espresso, great staff.

Great place to work remote. Lots of seats, great energy and decent coffee and snacks to nibble while you work.

Great little coffee place inside Mellow Johnnys. Good selection and nice to be able to sit outside and enjoy the city waking up.

They make the best, most consistent cortado in town, and the smoothies are wonderful too. Chill atmosphere and a friendly staff.

Great coffee shop embedded within a bike shop! Tasty coffee.

Juan Pelota always offers an excellent cup of coffee and amazing customer service. Their baristas are friendly, laid back, and fun. The environment is vibrant and welcoming. Prices are fair and they have a punch card program where you get a free drink after your 6th purchase!!LOVE THIS PLACE

Always a pleasure coming here. Such a relaxed, fun vibe and the coffee is solid.

So good. Any time Im in the area I try to swing in.

Love this place! Amazing coffee and they have breakfast tacos. The baristas rock and make each drink with lots of love and care

I love Juan Pelota. I frequently stop by on my morning ride to work and it gets the day started on a good note.

Its hell outside, but in here its heaven. Delicious coffee, smoothies, and tea. The staff is also friendly and deserving of all the tips!!!

Cool placement in a bike shop, plenty of places to park your bike outside, and outlets and wifi available for a bit of a stay. Seating isnt that comfy, but you can sit outside. Cortado was poured very nicely, and plenty of pour over and drip and other espresso options, as well.

A cyclist’s Buc-ee’s.

High quality ingredients, but the service lacks panache. Very charming though

Loud, but good atmosphere. Coffee tastes somewhat watered down -- they need better beans.Surly barasta dude sucked the life out of going there last time in.New review. Tried again. Americano came out lukewarm. Im out.

Classic coffee shop inside a great bike shop. Knowledgable and friendly staff.

So much better drips than SBs.

Service can be slow at times but all is forgiven once you taste the coffee. Its a very smooth blend and the Americano is my favorite in the whole city. They even have some parking available.

Great coffee and breakfast tacos! Great vibe in a great bike shop

A coffee shop within a bike shop! How random, yet perfectly Austin.This place automatically gets brownie points for a few things - the hilarious/clever name and the fact that they serve Stumptown Coffee.Wifi here is mediocre so maybe not the best place to get work done, but I love the ambiance - great place to catch up with a friend, people watch, read, etc.Really appreciate the organic snack options JP offers as well.

Very friendly staff and great coffee! Located in one of the coolest bike shops in all of Austin. Tried an iced Toddy for the first time here and really enjoyed it. Baristas seem to really know what they are doing. I even heard they were going to Portland to further their barista training!

Great lattes and amazing bikes!

So incredibly slow. Poor espresso taste.

Everytime I come in have to buy have to buy something, love the customer service when u ask, they dont really engage u when ur looking around which I consider to be very essential.Love the coffee shop, really nice touch and they are not expensive
