Flat Track Coffee in Texas

"some of the best coffee ive had in austin! i had a standard lavender latte and their espresso is sooooo rich. grabbing a coffee and then walking down cesar chavez is the perfect way to spend a saturday afternoon. cant wait to try more from the menu!"

"My favorite gem in downtown Austin. Boasting a simple, straight forward menu with an excellent espresso blend and single origin brews available, house syrups and a great chai. A pretty sweet hang around spot, too, and is central to plenty of cool walking spots."

"Amazing spot. The vibe works with any style, chill, stylish, whatever you're into. Quite enough for a good work space. I’ve been here four times while in town, and it never disappoints. The Mexican mocha latte is next-level, and both the latte and espresso are just as impressive."

"Cappuccinos are on point! Great service every time. There’s a community vibe with a good amount of regulars. Great for working! Equally great for a couch read. A good dose of cute happy dogs"

"A Cesar Chavez coffee icon, small very friendly coffee shop and cycle shop by gas station, close to downtown. This place serves amazing coffee with very friendly service. Very cool place to hang out as well while you enjoy your cup of joe, be it regular black or a made to order drink. I got a black coffee which had subtle notes and chocolatey finish. The cappuccino was extra hot just the way i wanted. The staff were all kind."

"Here’s a draft: Flat Track is the real deal. We stumbled onto the back patio and it felt like finding a little secret oasis in the middle of East Austin. Loved every second of it. Evan had the iced mocha latte and it was genuinely one of the best we’ve tasted anywhere. I had the cold brew, which was smooth and solid. Both drinks did exactly what good coffee should do. If you haven’t been, go. And sit outside.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​"

"Flat Track Coffee is one of the most unique coffee shops in Austin, seamlessly combining a café with a bicycle repair shop. Surprisingly, this mix works perfectly, creating a retro-industrial vibe that feels both authentic and inviting. The interior is incredible—vintage motorcycles, bicycles, old workbenches, and machinery all blend effortlessly with the coffee bar, making the space feel like a tribute to both coffee culture and cycling. The crowd reflects this too—cyclists, bikers, and coffee lovers alike, all adding to the character of the place. The coffee itself is excellent, and while the food menu is limited, it offers just enough options for a spot like this. We came in without high expectations and left feeling like we had discovered one of the best coffee spots in Austin. The atmosphere, the quality of the coffee, and the people who frequent it all make it stand out. There’s also a spacious patio, adding another layer of appeal for those who prefer to enjoy their coffee outside. Whether you’re here for a quick caffeine fix, meeting friends, or even getting your bike serviced, Flat Track is an easy recommendation. A must-visit for anyone looking for great coffee in a one-of-a-kind setting!"

"If you enjoy specialty coffee, bicycles, and/or balanced coffee beverages, then you need to go to Flat Track in the East Cesar Chavez neighborhood of Austin. I know I’ll definitely be returning for coffee here. They have a small amount of parking spots available directly out front, and it’s Flat Track Coffee on the left and then Dogspeed Cycles (bicycle shop & fixes) on the right, with indoor and outdoor seating available on the both sides. The vibe is comfortable and casual. They had two different espresso options to choose from, ready to go in two side-by-side Mahlkönig grinders, and I went with the single origin Los Volcanes from Brazil because I love Natural Processed Coffees. They had a more unique espresso machine, and this was my first time seeing the type they use - a mighty Mirage with Veloce side panels - and it did a wonderful job extracting the espresso. I ordered with an Iced Oat Milk S.O. Cappuccino ($7.25) and it was an extremely balanced drink with the oat milk ratio and single origin espresso. It was a pleasant drinking experience, especially on a warm day. I savored each sip, and it was a delightful drinking experience. They sell their retail bags and they have a variety of pastries. The Sour Duck Pastries Butter Croissant ($4.50) we ordered was fluffy, flakey, and overall good, and we recommend getting your croissant warmed up there for peak enjoyment. You can get a coffee while you wait for your bicycle to be fixed, or you can look at the bicycles as you wait for your coffee to be brewed. It seems like many coffee shops in Austin follow the trend of having a business connected to a coffee shop. Flat Track came highly recommended, from both Nolan & Malayna, and I’m thankful I took their suggestion. Now I hope you take mine, and grab a coffee at Flat Track soon!"
