LilaJune 12, 2017Coffee house vibes + bar + queer friendly area makes for a comfy spot to chill solo or with friends :)

Nathan WrightMay 30, 2017Halcyon 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 ChronicleFebruary 17, 2013Tableside 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.
Social News NetworkJune 30, 2012If 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 FolgerJune 8, 2012Ideal 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.
LOVE this place. Great food, friendly staff, high quality coffee! Fantastic!
Daniel LuvianoOctober 14, 2014Always great ambiance, love it during the day it is chill enough to work and/or hang out grab coffee or wine. At night amazing drinks, sometimes music, good all around to start a night
Josh AAugust 23, 2017Great place. Grab a coffee cocktail, a comfy seat, and some s'mores. Solid cocktail options, good java. So Austin.- Social News NetworkJune 8, 2012Ideal 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.
- Social News NetworkJune 28, 2012Calm 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 SilvaOctober 9, 2013Fantastic place in the heart of downtown Austin. Perfect place with moody music and a great ambiance in the evening.
Chev WOctober 20, 2018Get some late night s’mores! Very cheap and an easy way to have a seat and people watch.
Scion AdvisorJuly 27, 2011Enjoy 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
Serious EatsMarch 8, 2013Good 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 CrDecember 18, 2016Cappuccino is the best I have ever tasted.. From Portland, OR. (So you know what I mean)
Anna GonzalezDecember 4, 2013At 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 NarofskyMay 28, 2012A 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 NowMarch 12, 2013Roast your own marshmallows! Perfect place to relax and drink your favorite coffee beverage. For more coffee places check out halfpastnow.com

CultureMap AustinJuly 8, 2011Try 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!
KarenDecember 22, 2014The lavender cider wasn't too strong, and tasted more fruity than herbal. The smores app was a fun addition!
First bite of their chicken wrap... Fell in love with it. Oh my god. It's so good.
Rondo EstrelloOctober 8, 2013You 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.
One of my favorite places in Austin. Perfect place to sit outside on a nice day.
Kate SchnepelMarch 14, 2013roasting s'mores at your own table is a unique and yummy activity... just be sure to grab lots of napkins
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.
JessicaJune 16, 2015Don't plan on getting your coffee in an expedient manner, baristas more concerned on catching up on the latest gossip
Quantum ZambalesAugust 27, 2017Coffee or alcohol... More cafe style than the one in San Antonio, but just as spunky- Grab a cappuccino and checkout the art by Thomas Runkle. Legendary artists recreated in glass.
BenJuly 3, 2014I just had a delicious panini, side salad and an iced tea for $8. Rarely is anything this good in ATX.
Dean CalhounMarch 12, 2014Good place to get your morning latte w/o the long lines that are closer to ACC.
Amazing coffee drinks. Long Island coffee is my fave.
Zack BeattyMarch 14, 2011Take a break from the cooped-up Convention Center and grab a spot on this sunny, south-facing patio! Choose your vice: caffeine or alcohol.
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.
Keith CaveyJanuary 10, 2013Long Island Iced Coffee: the perfect elixir for anyone addicted to both caffeine and alcohol.
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.
