Better Half Coffee Cocktails - Austin

I finally got the chance to try the Better Half Coffee Cocktails where the parking lot in front is always packed when I drive by. It was lunchtime during the week and still a lot of customers here. Their menu is not huge but fined tuned where heard the food was very good. I ordered the Better Half Chicken Burger where the menu stated it was house ground chicken, Duke’s Many, Swiss cheese, and LTO. I also ordered a side of fries. There were other items I really wanted to try but will save them for my next visit. There was some seating inside where you had booth and bar top, but most was outside under oak trees. Being so hot outside I found a spot inside on a bar top.The service was excellent and soon my chicken burger arrived. It looked delicious and tasty. I took a bite and the chicken was so juicy and had great flavor. I enjoyed it where the seasonings were not too strong. The fries were also good.Afterwards I explore the grounds and found lots of picnic table seatings outside, a cowboy pool, and a beer brewery called the Hold Out … which gave a big reason to return. The place had a cool atmosphere and if you can find parking in from then drive behind it and will find a much larger parking lot.

Don 't judge a book by it 's cover. First time to visit. Found a booth. Ordered our food from the scan app. Went to bar to order a nice libation. Tipped 30%. Went back to get water. The inside self serve water service was empty. I WAS DIRECTED TO THE OUTSIDE WATER. The immediate outside self serve water service was empty. Remember, my first visit. Ok. it happens. I asked the person in camo that I tipped 30% for taking my drink order 5 minutes earlier if she could assist me with water, infirming her both stations were empty. She told me there were other water stations across the parking area. She directed me with a nod of her head. Said she was too busy doing something else. 3 OTHER employees behind the bar and what appeared to be an MOD. (manager on duty), so 4 employees. I saw at least 2 on the floor. At that moment, no one in line behind me, nor waiting in front of me. While I am not wheel chair bound. I have MS. Uneven ground and unsteady gait are very difficult in a flare. SHE COULD HAVE SAID, THE self service WATER WILL BE REFILLED IN A FEW MINUTES OR WE WILL BRING WATER TO YOUR TABLE in a few minutes. THE IDEA THAT YOU TELL A CUSTOMER YOU ARE TOO BUSY TO ASSIST WITH WATER IS UNACCEPTABLE. Her words: I can 't help you. You will have to get your water else where. I told her reluctantly, I have MS and can 't make it safely to the other stations. she repeated, I can 't help you. She was the point person at the register. I have never been treated so poorly in any restaurant. The upside. The food was good. I happen to pass the MOD heading back to my table. She filled my glass with water from the kitchen tap. I was so desparate MY NEXT MOVE WAS THE BATHROOM SINK. DID I MENTION IT WAS 103 DEGREES OUTSIDE? I will never go back. Everyone enjoyed their food but their staff needs serious training. Water sometimes is not just desired but for some people is a necessity.

At this point no one really needs to read a review. The food, caffeine, and alcohol is on point. The space is perfect. The vibe is hip, social, and deliberate. Oh and get the dang burger.Parking: Lot out and and a larger one in back. Street parking in the area is free.

Excellent coffee, great outdoor seating and lots of it! I loved the Bunuelos. If you're a chocolate, cinnamon and orange flavor lover, you'll really like it. Dogs welcome tooFood: 5/5

Better half is such a vibe! We went for late lunch/happy hour. The sangria was so good! (Pictured). I had the spicy chicken sandwich and my friends had the big summer salad. I didn’t love the zucchini noodles in my sandwich, would probably skip next time. My friends didn’t love the dressing on the salads. I think next time we would share a few appetizers because the drinks were the main star of the show.
