Coffee house vibes + bar + queer friendly area makes for a comfy spot to chill solo or with friends :)

Nathan Wright

Halcyon is a perfect stop for an afternoon coffee or late-night drinks with friends. The vibes, staff and patrons are friendly - a refreshing change of pace from those other manic downtown ATX venues.

Austin Chronicle

Tableside s’mores and espresso cocktails are two things that make this hoppin’ corner joint so special. A coffehouse by day, bar by night, Halcyon has a fine selection of cigars and cigarettes, too.

If you're a fan of crepes , then you absolutely must try the Crepe Nutella a la Mode! The great thing about Halcyon is that they serve crepes and the rest of their sweet breakfast options until 2 a.m!

Katie Folger

Ideal for socializing. The coffee is excellent (I favor the skim cappucino ) and the food is equally delicious. Live music and alcoholic coffee drinks makes it a great evening hang out. NO STUDYING.

Nate Slayton

One of the best lattes in town . Come for the 4pm happy hour .

Dylan Roberts

Josh A

Calm and cozy atmosphere to relax and hangout with a close friend or two. It is a bar , but for those that don't drink, they also have cheap smoothies and caffeine drinks as well .

Alyshia Silva

Fantastic place in the heart of downtown Austin. Perfect place with moody music and a great ambiance in the evening.

Chev W

Get some late night s’mores! Very cheap and an easy way to have a seat and people watch .

Scion Advisor

Enjoy coffee , paninis , and even a Nutella crepe at this well-known downtown spot. The ever-changing wall art is consistently inspiring, and they provide a cozy , hip place to chill whether day or night Read more

Jennifer Reiney

Brilliant menu. Light food awesome desserts , coffee & cocktails .

Serious Eats

Good for when you want decent coffee -- not a fancy drink. Halcyon gets the job done while also offering a small menu of snacks and other drinks.

Pavithran Cr

Cappuccino is the best I have ever tasted.. From Portland, OR. (So you know what I mean)

Anna Gonzalez

At night, get s'mores ! & come early if you want to get a couch seat. It fills up. In the morning, get a breakfast panini ! So good.

Karis Narofsky

A dog-friendly patio is available, but you can only have the s'mores (their signature dessert ) inside. So if you plan to enjoy the s'mores , leave fido at home. Learned this the hard way...

Half Past Now

Chilly outside? Come in for a drink and make your own s'mores !

Natasha Ifill

The Espresso Martini is to die for.

CultureMap Austin

Try the Nutella crepes to get your Nutella fix without the temptation of eating an entire container with a spoon. The s'mores are a special fiery treat here too!

Karen

The lavender cider wasn't too strong, and tasted more fruity than herbal. The smores app was a fun addition!

Jennifer Reiney

Amazing bartenders here. Excellent chocolate cake & paninis .

Elizabeth Roam

First bite of their chicken wrap ... Fell in love with it. Oh my god. It's so good.

Sheryl Saturnino

One of my favorite places in Austin. Perfect place to sit outside on a nice day.

Kate Schnepel

roasting s'mores at your own table is a unique and yummy activity... just be sure to grab lots of napkins

Jessica

Don't plan on getting your coffee in an expedient manner, baristas more concerned on catching up on the latest gossip

Emma

Hibiscus and ginger mojito is fantastic! And so is the goat cheese salad .

Alexis Smith

The prissy busboy with the short black hair is always in a hoity-toity mood. He's consistently been a dick to customers every time I've been here. Don't tip him if he takes your order.

Eric Hinman

Grab a cappuccino and checkout the art by Thomas Runkle. Legendary artists recreated in glass.

Melay M

Great way to drink wine and have s’mores and play some board games

Quantum Zambales

Coffee or alcohol ... More cafe style than the one in San Antonio, but just as spunky

Rondo Estrello

You might be discouraged to order the S'mores by being told there is an hour wait. Order them anyways and they should be at your table in 10 or 15 minutes.

Ben

I just had a delicious panini , side salad and an iced tea for $8. Rarely is anything this good in ATX.

Pam Rodrigues

Cool hang out spot! Nice sofas ! Bring a book or a date and you're set!

Michael Witbrock

It's really nice when they give you animal crackers to go with your cappuccino . But then sometimes they don't, which is morning-ruiningly disappointing.

Dean Calhoun

Good place to get your morning latte w/o the long lines that are closer to ACC.

Zack Beatty

Take a break from the cooped-up Convention Center and grab a spot on this sunny, south-facing patio ! Choose your vice: caffeine or alcohol .

Ginger Courtney

Amazing coffee drinks. Long Island coffee is my fave.

Keith Cavey

Long Island Iced Coffee : the perfect elixir for anyone addicted to both caffeine and alcohol .

Denise S

Hipster cafe . They have matcha tea . A little pricey .

Pearson - Always Learning

Coffee shop with free wi-fi. Right in the heart of the Warehouse District

Mark McGregor

Great place to chill with a laptop, a coffee , a friend, a beer , or all of the above. Couches , tables, patio . THE place in Austin to work or chat.
