Coffee in East Austin

By Locally Austin editorial · Data checked July 15, 2026

East Austin has 16 coffee shops in our data, 14 of them independent and 2 chains. That is the most of any of the 12 districts we cover.

Every entry is tagged amenity=cafe in OpenStreetMap and sits within 1.6 km of the point we use as the center of East Austin. The closest to that center is West China Tea House, about 180 m away; the farthest is Starbucks at 1.6 km. 14 of the 16 have a street address on record; the rest show a map point instead.

Questions people ask

How is this list ordered?
Independents first, then chains, alphabetical within each. We do not rank places and we do not publish ratings.
Why is a place I know missing?
Either it is not tagged amenity=cafe in OpenStreetMap, or its map point is outside the 1.6 km East Austin radius, or it is closer to another district's center. The editorial policy explains how to report a gap.
Are the hours and addresses current?
Addresses come from OpenStreetMap as of the date on the byline. We do not publish hours; use the official site link where one exists, and the OSM record for the exact map point.
