Lucky Lab was a local coffee shop that I stopped with a small group of friends to get some studying done during a conference. I thoroughly enjoyed some of the pastries that they had available and decided to go with the chocolate/strawberry Pop Tart which was tasty but slightly dry to taste after being warmed. I also ordered just a regular iced coffee that was your average run of the mill coffee.As far as I can tell, it is a nice, quaint coffee shop downtown that has some good outdoor seating but not a lot available. Would definitely come back again.

Just had the worst cold brew ever…maple cinnamon oat cold brew was the menu item, described as being topped with a “splash” of oat milk. ordered it a quarter sweet since sweet coffee isn’t really my thing. got this drink that’s clearly at least equal parts oat milk and whatever they’re trying to pass off as cold brew. It just tasted like watery cinnamon flavored oat milk, like there wasn’t a single drop of coffee in the drink. whoever is making the cold brew there…please stop, for harm reduction purposes. I would honestly appreciate a refund for this. 2 stars because the pastry I got was good, and I’ve gotten good pastries there before but…will not be back for the tasteless watery “cold brew”

Kinda cute decor, good atmosphere, fair pricing, and lots of basic white girl drinks (not a bad thing).I ordered a double shot of espresso and it looked like this. That should say just about everything you need to know about the coffee.

Coffee was okay, cortado was under extracted and the vanilla iced latte didnt really taste like vanilla. We also got a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie and that was yummy 😋The place looks fun but is still pretty close up due to COVID.

Very cute!! outdoor space is spacious with lots of seating. good for studying. lots of tasty sounding drink options. got an iced americano but was also highly recommended the thai brew.

Near the UT campus. Nice selection of pastries and plenty of breakfast selections. The cashier was friendly and made great recommendations.

Cute cafe in west campus. The shop is in the lobby of an apartment building, and seems to share the lounge area on the bottom floor. Plenty of seating (social distancing rules in place) and retro decor. Try the honey oat latte.

Has absolutely everything I could want in a café: great food and drinks, friendly staff, and outlets/tables everywhere. Everythings clean and well-decorated, and they share a patio with another restaurant so theres plenty of room to hang out.

Buy local, youll love it! I recommend online ordering so you can skip the line.

Go there today!!! Today was One of the first hot humid days this year and our youg adult children wanted to walk around and shop on the Drag. But we saw the signs that led us to LUCKY LAB COFFEE and decided to try the iced coffee and lemonade and YES Please!! Super friendly and we love the coffee and lemonade. Hit the spot and more importantly, we are huge coffee drinkers and they gave us a sampling of their house coffee so we picked up a lb to brew at home. Comfortable seating, fans, iced coffee and a sincerely friendly staff. Stop here and try the coffee! You wont be disappointed!Iced Mocha and blueberry lavender tea and iced bees knees coffee and iced honey oat

Great coffee, great outdoor space and great baked goods. What else do you really need. I also order catering from here. Always quick to respond and accommodating.

Great coffee and plenty of space to sit at. Really great atmosphere. I will definitely be back.

The ONLY-OPENED-CAFE while Austin was being a SNOW LAND!! I like this place!

Cool vibe and home made pop tart pastries.....

I ordered Lucky Lab Coffee for an early morning staff meeting. OMG...the hand pies and muffins were out of this world! SOOOO Good!

Great outdoor space for coffee and chilling

I enjoyed this shops pairing of dogs and coffee. The cold brew was a 7/10. Decent tasting bean and thankfully not watered down.

Great coffee.. I have only tried latte here and its much better than what they have in Starbucks...staff is great, you get free coffee after every 10 coffee, ask them for punch card...

The staff is very polite and the coffee is great, 5 stars just for the service. I was having a terrible day and it definitely made it better.

White chocolate almond iced latte. Delicious! I passed up the Starbucks to try this (its located right behind Starbucks).

This place is dope! Loved their pop tarts. Double espresso was like a double double but I’m not complaining! Can’t wait to come back here and chill!

Everyone who works here is perfectly lovely, they even remember my regular order! They are super friendly and helpful if I want to try something new. Excellent coffee, excellent service!

Wow. Super cool place. Cross the street from Starbucks and come here. They had homemade pecan and pumpkin poptarts! Excellent

Great coffee shop in the West Campus area. Its right around the corner from Starbucks, but the coffee is 10x better, and it is also cheaper. There is a tiny seating area in the actual coffee shop, but lots of outdoor seating as it is a part of Urban Outfitters space 24. So if its cold its not that awesome to sip coffee there. They have lots of seasonal drinks but they sometimes run out of stuff so things are off the menu.They also offer baked goods. On the bakery side of the shop, you can see the baker actually hand making all the treats. That way you know that theyre all hand made!The also have a punch card so you can have a free drink at the end of finishing 10 punches. You can also combined cards if you have many of them for the free drink. Theres no parking on site so youll have to pay to park.We ordered a mocha and a black drip. Both of them were so well made and the coffee doesnt have that bitter flavor that you wouldnt like. They offer almond milk too for those who prefer that (I do!).

Definitely go here! The food is really great and the coffee is as well. I got a croissant and a hand pie and both were fantastic. There are some fun seasonal coffee flavors right now that are delicious! The employees were all very nice and helpful. There is not a lot of indoor seating but there is a nice little patio as well. Also, they have cute mugs!

Lucky Lab is a gem! The staff are super friendly and welcoming, you can tell that they care about their customers and want them to have a great experience. Their coffee is amazing too, they create their own custom drink menu and tailor it to the season which makes for an amazing cup of jo, weather its hot or cold outside. They also do punch cards so you get rewarded for coming there often (which I totally do) by giving you a free drink after you buy 10. Amazing coffee shop, with amazing pastries like their hot pies too!

For me this place has been hit or miss. They will serve day(s) old tacos at full price. Their pastries are good, but I think they sell old pastries at full price too. And recently the half-and-half has been sour and curdles in the coffee. Their milk bar is cute, but not very functional!My theory is that the milk sits in the lines at room temperature long enough to spoil, so you would need to clear the lines occasionally to get properly refrigerated milk. Also, do they ever clean the lines? Theres no shame in a washable, properly insulated pitcher! Maybe not as cute, but better for my morning cuppa-Joe that I relish and enjoy so much!This picture is from a time when there was just a little curdling. The time before this the color of the coffee didnt change at all, it just had chucks of white in it, which was alarming. They immediately gave me a new cup and fresh half-and-half.

Such a cute location and would have loved to had time to stop for longer and explore. I ordered 2 iced lattes and was served 2 iced cold brews with milk. When I questioned it, I was told that was standard procedure unless specified, although I even said it was my first time there when ordering. That felt super lazy and obviously the taste is very different. If I were local, I would give it another shot. Need to clarify these things on menu and be more specific.

Lovely coffee shop, right next to UO. Life is better with Coffee & Dogs

Plenty of outdoor seating, good food, disappointing coffee.

Good place to spend time with a cup of coffee and pastries. Plus, wifi is available!

Nice place. Mostly white people but I guess that’s not the coffee shops fault. Still, it was like a snowstorm in there with all the whiteys

Nice coffee and pastry menu. Great for dogs with outdoor seating

Lucky Labs cold brew coffee is great. Small place.

The coffee was okay. The home made poptart was raw dough in the center. It was inedible-I spoke to the staff and they refunded the poptart.

Fantastic seasonal specialty drinks! Very unique and full of flavor. The pastries are solid and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommend checking back often to see what new creations theyll come up with.

Very convenient for grab and go. But I’m a little bit disappointed on their coffee latte. The milk was overheated so that it miss the sweetness 😅 The staffs are nice and kind.

Good for a quick breakfast with plenty of seats on the outdoor area. The caramel machiato was too sweet for me but the strawberry tart was good when warmed up. Around 8$ for both. Good place, and nice and friendly service.

Good coffee with a selection of pastries and snacks and a great outdoor patio area. All within a few minutes of campus

Delightful cold brew. They add the right amount of syrup so its only lightly sweet.

Good place for local! all the university members support the locals🤘

Great! Delicious flavored lattes and a variety of rotating seasonal specials. The pastries are also great, especially the hand pies. They even give a discount & treats if you bring your dog. This is a great place to go if you want to sit outside with friends or to study. I tend to go to their location inside of Ruckus 2.0 if I want to study indoors as there is more seating. You can’t go wrong with either location. Super friendly and nice staff too.

Really friendly staff and great coffee!

Went here for the first time, very cool area in west campus. Employees were nice and it seems like a chill place to hang out, lots of seating outside! My order didnt take very long either. ill for sure be coming back!

Latte was good, not outstanding. Bakery items looked much better than they tasted - overall pretty bland. Great outdoor seating area.

Coffee is generally a South American blend. I would guess Columbia’s beans are in it. The vibe was dope. There is lots of seating. The service was great and speedy. Coffee was very good.

One of my favorite coffee shops around campus!

Great coffee selection

Good coffee, patio is a nice place to hang out and get some work done. Taco Deli breakfast tacos available until sold out

Iced latte is awesome 🤩

Great coffee and pastry! Unique flavours.

Wow, an amazing cafe. The coffee was delicious and I had one of their homemade cinnamon brown sugar Pop tarts and I could have had 100 of them. It was also cool to eat and sip the coffee inside while looking at their pastry chefs doing their thing behind a half glass wall.

Love this place, had the Pop tart warmed up, it was flaky and delicious, perfect for a chilly day.

Great outdoor seating! And coffee!!

Coming to Lucky Lab has become a part of my routine, and I couldnt be happier. Everyone knows my name and my order, but more importantly, theyve gotten to know me as a person. Theyve celebrated my successes and been there during my hardest times. Im consistently blown away by their kindness. Their coffee is fantastic, but their employees make Lucky Lab exceptional. Love ~ white chocolate latte with oat milk

Nice little Coffee Spot. Would definitely visit again.

I loved this place. It was super great. they make fresh pop tarts from scratch! Their lavender latte was not the best lavender latte I have ever had -- you could barely taste the lavender in my opinion. But their stuffed croissants are amazing!

Their coffee is great and the gingerbread cookie is to die for!!

My wife and I got married in Marble Falls TX this past May and wanted to give our out-of-town guests a taste of Austin. So, we hired Lucky Lab Coffee Truck to show up (as a surprise) at our venue during lunch the day after our wedding! They arrived, were set-up and ready as planned and delighted our guests with their various flavored, coffee drinks. It was reasonably-priced too. Id recommend Lucky Lab Coffee Truck to enhance the experience for any event!

Now the things my daughter ordered, wow it looked amazing! I took a picture of the hot chocolate, but unfortunately the picture didnt take and I didnt realize it, so youll just have to take my word on it. Its huge and covered in whipped cream, then drizzled with chocolate sauce.

The coffee shop itself is cute and cozy and the staff is very friendly, but I was very disappointed with their cold brew coffee. I expected a strong coffee, but got a very watery. It had the bitter coffee taste, but the richness and nutty coffee flavor were missing. Not all was bad though, I also had their pop tart and that was delicious. I definitely would recommend that pastry.

Staff was pleasant, good selection of baked goods, and they make a wide variety of coffee drinks. My vanilla latte was only okay, but at least not burnt tasting. I am pleased to say they also have flavors and different milks for you to choose from, which is not always the case in Austin. Space inside is extremely limited and difficult to maneuver in. They make up for this with a large, shared outdoor space with other surrounding businesses. This would be fine except that you still need to go inside to order, which is problematic. They do have a small window that faces the front of the building where I saw them serving coffee out of, but at the time of this review you still had to go inside to order.

Service is great and the people are awesome. The coffee was beyond disappointing. I was expecting a good brew but sadly it tasted like water with a hint of coffee. I observed one of the servers/ baristas pet a dog outside and play with it a little then continue working without at least putting some germ-X or gloves. The pop tart strawberry pastry is delicious. Definitely don’t see myself coming back here for anything except those pop Tart pastries.

This place is so popular and it is well deserved! All of their coffee is delicious, their baked goods are AMAZING and made in house by talented folks, and the staff is so nice. I could spend all day here. There’s inside and outside seating, which makes it super flexible for meeting up with people or just studying alone. Their order window is super convenient, too.The whole place is adorable.

Watered down coffee

Nice quiet cove just off the main drag. Nice seating inside and out. I ordered an Americano the drink I use to judge the coffee quality and barista talent. The coffee was solid and I would go back. Ill hold my final decision as this was my first coffee in Austin. There seem to be many good choices around and Im excited to try as many as possible 👍

Love this place. Best skinny vanilla latte! Yummy breakfast tacos and some profits go to charity for dogs! What more could you ask for. I met the owners, and they were so nice. My dog loved them, of course. Im hooked!

Poor quality! Came by to check it out since I had a coupon say drinks on us. However still end up paying for it..... There was no options to make ice cold coffee so I end up getting a latte. The latte didnt have ice and it was a mess. The shop is cute however theres really no space. Also brown sugar pie was good but would be better if could get it heated up. Im still confused by how I end up paying for a drink and how could you not have cold coffee at all?

Super cute place !! Definitely recommend!

This place is pretty cool. They started with a truck and moved into the building fairly recently. Parking can be a pain but the coffee was great and the space is a nice little refuge downtown. But sure if the cookie baking is a different business in the same space?? Extra fun : dog adoption fair going on in the garden space when we were there.

Very cute coffee place. Its been busy every time I was there, but service is quick and friendly. The coffee is also good, but what I like most is the vibe of this place. Its cozy and cute, and you can sit well outside. Inside is too crowded most of the time.

This is such a cute little coffee shop. The drinks and treats are always great and the people who work there are super nice. Theres limited seating inside but the outside space is so pretty you hardly mind it.

My favorite coffee spot on The Drag. The espresso was poured just right and tasted robust. They have milk on tap, haha. I love that. The place is small on the inside but there is plenty of patio seating. The best part was watching the bakers. I love a place that gives you a sneak peak into the kitchen. I will be coming here a lot more.

I prefer dark roast it their medium roast espresso (Americano) was really good. Outdoor seating area is very nice.

Great service, very knowledgeable baristas. Creative selection of drinks and pastries, as well as an aesthetically pleasing interior and marketing strategy.Been coming here forever-they always have very fresh pastries, and sometimes even bake pastries especially for you to ensure they are fresh. Great spot.

A coffee shop with a love for pups? Take my money! Wonderful pastries that you can see being made in the open kitchen. Really love the coziness of this place. Seating is limited however.

This place has INCREDIBLE iced lattes and the best brownie I’ve ever had in my life (and I’ve had a lot of brownies).

Great place with cute items that make great gifts!

This place has INCREDIBLE iced lattes and the best brownie I’ve ever had in my life (and I’ve had a lot of brownies).

Simply great coffee in a large open space area where they apparently have bands (Austin? Bands?) and early in the morning made for a great run around zone for the kiddos while we enjoyed coffee. Thanks LlCC

Great little cafe tucked behind Outfitters on The Drag. Nice shaded seating. Small selection of pastries but the croissant I had was awesome. Cold brew coffee was top of the line, very tasty. Staff very friendly. Easily one of the best hidden treasures of ATX.

I had a Cold Brew with a White Chocolate shot. Simple, but my favorite. It was delicious! The staff was friendly, as well.

I had high hopes since the inside was cute and cozy but ultimately the coffee fell flat. The taste of the 8 oz cappuccino was bitter and watery (not rich and nutty) and the homemade pop-tart (which *looked* amazing) turned out to be covered with a sickly sweet frosting not unlike something from a can which rendered the whole thing inedible. Overall it was a disappointment.

Everything was so good, the staff is so helpful and polite

This is an interesting coffee shop in an area surrounded by competition. The staff are extremely friendly. The coffee is generally pretty fresh and you have almond milk on tap, which is awesome for watching the carbs.They freshly bake this version of a pop-tart that is awesome, but mostly Im there for the coffee. Easily in the top three out of the dozen or so coffee shops around campus for the coffee, and the staff are probably the nicest.

I love the atmosphere of this place. The staff is always friendly and I love their mission statement. Coffee is great as well. Highly recommend.

Had a bacon, egg and cheese breakfast taco and a great cup of coffee. Beautiful surroundings and incredibly clean and well set up. Definitely come here again.

One of the few places Ive consistently enjoyed coffee in Austin. Its pretty mild and has very little acidity, while maintaining a smoky flavour. Lucky Lab has earned my loyalty!

Good coffee and they donate a part of their profits or tips, to some dog shelter, which is awesome! Also the girl at the counter is very friendly and helpful.The coffee shop is in a shared food court -like area with a pizza place, a burger spot, and this other food truck that was closed. Lots of seating around, to chill. Would totally recommend.

First time I went here although I’ve worked at UT for 3 years now. Its a cool place to get away from work for a little bit that is not Starbucks.

Fantastic spot near UT Austin with great outdoor + indoor seating to be productive while sipping on a delicious coffee. Very interesting coffee flavors which seem to be made in-house.

Fairly friendly service. Yummy drinks. Wish there was a little more indoor seating and more access to outlets.

Awesome atmosphere, great drinks, and everything smelled AMAZING. Staff was super nice, too! Definitely going back!

One of the worst coffees Ive paid for. I watched the espresso gush out of the head, as a light coloured water - do they need to recalibrate their grind, or train staff to properly prepare a pour? It tasted both bitter/burnt, and weak/watery. I took one sip and threw it away. It was bitterly disappointing, as generally the coffee in Austin had been really solid. Its a shame you dont tip after receiving your produce.

We were exploring UT and found this delicious place. I loved my chai with honey, just what I needed for a cold day.The place is cozy and nice.

Very cute place! Enjoyed it.

Great place! The environment is cute (and great for studying) and the staff are very friendly. The cold brew is really good.

This is our Longhorns favorite coffee shop and we love to visit when we come to town. Great flavorful coffees, teas and pasteries!

Nice coffee shop

Service was quick and efficient. I had the Campfire Latte and it was delicious. The barista and cashier were friendly and helpful. Definitely coming back.
