Just discovered this coffee shop. First impression: Good (I leave that extra ⭐️ for my future visits, there’s nothing wrong with the place 😊). I had Mexican Mocha with almond milk, which tastes quite well. There is a small but cute patio in the front. In the middle of great South 1st St.

Such a sweet lil spot! The back patio is perfection. The cortado was just the pick me up that I needed

I was recommended to go here by an abundance of people. I can see why. My first interaction with the barista at the counter was nothing but smiles and friendly conversation. The location is prime. The coffee taste...... unparalleled!! ( I am an avid coffee shop goer Whos very picky )

Got the Mexican Mocha and the cayenne pepper definitely hit before any other flavor. The service was poor and not friendly at all. Tried it and not going back.

Great stop for coffee. We were getting tacos from El Primo and decided to get coffee from Once Over while we waited. The seasonal coffee drink called Summer School is a must.

Always delicious and a great place to grab a coffee while waiting for your tacos at El Primo. The staff is super attentive and friendly. Drinks roll out quickly. Seating out from and out back.The drink is an iced oat milk mocha.Its socially distanced, glass protector, hand sanitizer, and very open. Theres an outside deck out back to hang and work if necessary.

The best local coffee and tacos all in one location. The staff are like saying hi to an old friend.Its always a treat to walk in. Ive lived in the neighborhood for a decade and I love their coffee and their Wild Gift beans.I could spend the day on their chill back porch. Right on the creek and full of South Austin vibes

One of the loveliest staffs in Austin and delicious coffee. Try the cardamom puff, trust!

Friendly service, fun place to sit, incredibly fast Wi-Fi for free. My Italian soda was a little too sweet for my taste, so Ill be sure to ask for less syrup next time. :)

The iced coffee was so excellent. I didn’t get a chance to ask how it was prepared, but it was fresh and full of flavor. The back patio is a quiet haven. They sell (and serve?) Wild Gift coffee.

Great place. Tea is great, the back porch is by far the best part of this place, couldn’t believe how quiet it was back there

Nothing bad to say about the place, didn’t love the drip coffee but it wasn’t too bad! Also, pretty cheap (10% cash discount), and super nice staff. Not a fan of the PB vegan cookie. I like the vibe inside, and there is a great back patio overlooking a creek with trees (careful though, the leaves like to really get in your drink). Real good spot tucked away off 1st.

Great vibes and very friendly staff! Compared to other coffee shops Ive been to, I felt like the staff put a lot of time and care into taking care of their customers. The coffee was wonderful too!

Great place. Awesome staff and amazing coffee. What else do you need!!! A nice place to work, their back patio is 👌🏼

The best espresso drinks in town. Great coffee and ambiance Staff is friendly, courteous and knowledgeable about coffee. Owner coupe is local and they are enthusiasts who import and roast their own blends here in town .

I agree with the 1&2 star ratings for this place. Unwelcoming/indifferent staff and the coffee is OK at best. Great patio. Lots of signs all over the place from management. The taco trailer out front was pretty good.

Ive always loved this place. Love their patio.

This is a great place for a great cup of joe. The staff is always friendly and they know what they’re doing with quality bean sourcing & all the brew methods, in my opinion.Don’t let the simple facade fool you, there is a unique back patio that’s beautifully set on East Bouldin Creek.Twice I’ve been miffed when they closed early without updating hours posted online, but now the owner seems to understand how they can prevent disappointed treks in the future.

Cute and quaint. On of the best espresso shots Ive ever had. Great customer service!

Not that good. Also, they don’t have any change so if you pay in cash they won’t tell you until afterwards or even put a sign up. They said “we don’t have any quarters” but didn’t give me any of my other change either.

Parking is tough here but if you can find a spot easily, great place! Love their back patio and their coffee, and love that they put mosquito repellent out back lol. One of my favorite local coffee shops!

Solid coffee and a great taco truck in the front

The restaurant definitely doesnt feel like it should be in a strip mall.The red velvet latte was not our favorite, but it was still good. We enjoyed the Michael Jackson a lot more. The milk they use is rich and creamy, making the lattes super thick and filling. We loved it!

Really fantastic coffee (great beans and nailed the milk texturing on our lattes) And the staff are super genuine and friendly.

First time trying this place, the two workers who were there were extremely nice and helpful! The coffee was absolutely delicious, I just had to buy a tote bag once I had tried the coffee. The atmosphere of the place is very welcoming, and I loved that they were playing an older song of Beck’s, so their music was nice as well. Definitely will be going back again, anytime I’m in Austin! :)

Nice place for coffee with friendly price and beautiful espresso art. Strongly recommend!

Good music. Good vibe. Nice outside space in front and back. Clean. Lots of electrical outlets for charging devices. Good coffee, tea. It has nice character; kind of 80s punk rock, art show, community cafe vibe to it. I enjoy working here. (Nice taco truck outside too)Limited parking in their lot but always find a spot on Johanna st.

My daughter and I have only been here a few times but they were very nice and Courteous.. My daughter did not like the coffee she got,( she thought it was sweet but it was not) but I took it back and they were nice enough to change it and not charge us again.. They didnt just add creamer they made it again.. (she is shy)... Great customer service... We will enjoy going back again.. Its a cute coffee shop to relax and enjoy your favorite drink... They have a wonderful collection of different coffees.. Enjoy!!

Lovely spot for $2 unlimited refill coffee and a peaceful shaded patio overlooking the creek!

I had the dirty Iced Chai Latte. It was just the right amount of sweet and a hint of the bitter you expect and appreciate from a quality caffeinated beverage. The barista was fast, friendly and offered a cash discount if you opt not to pay with a card. I went out back to their fenced in porch along a sometimes creek. The trees surrounding the patio make you forget you are just steps away from South First.

Great coffee. Casual vibe. Very helpful and accommodating staff.

Stellar back patio. Will upgrade to five stars should start offering keto friendly milk options.

Nice coffee shop. Good atmosphere and patio deck

My favorite coffee shop in Austin. No hype, just great coffee in a small building. Austin needs more of these types of places.

Casually rude to patrons, if thats the mood theyre in... Coffee is basic. There are other friendly coffee shops in town with better atmosphere and service. Just my thoughts. Was going pretty regular but moving on.

Yum....brah

I came here today to meet up with a friend. Me being a non-coffee drinker I was a bit hesitant to get some brew but that intoxicating smell drew me to their frozen latte. I must say that this was one of the best if not the best, coffee drinks Ive ever had. The place is cozy without feeling congested and the back patio feels like being back at my parents in Alabama. Even though I live in Round Rock, Once Over is definitely a spot I will stop at anytime Im in the area..... well worth the trip.

They are so nice and pleasant. ❤️ and the coffee was lovely.

Delicious coffee, fast service, low prices. Thanks!

What a sanctuary this place is. I almost don’t want to write this rave review as to keep others away so I can have a seat on the patio. But alas I could never bash the best iced dirty chai I’ve ever had & such kind service.

Great cold brew and always friendly service and good atmosphere for catching up with friends or working.

It looks like a hole in the wall coffee shop but when you go inside, theres a line of people waiting for their espresso and limited seating inside. But the true awesomeness of this coffee house is the patio in the back. Lovely and quiet. very green with all the trees.The coffee is delicious served by an honest staff. Theres not much offering for food but they do have bagels.

The worst coffee ever ....

Perfect cafe as boehemian as Austin gets these days. Taco stand out front is local famous. Hidden backyard great weather permitting.

Such a lovely little hidden gem. Dont let their modest entrance fool you. They have a wonderful back porch that offers ample shade and borders a little creek. Ive only tried their coffee and iced tea, but both were delicious. Ill definitely be back!

This place is so cute, hekka calm vibes . Tasty coffee. Don’t mistake the baristas’ for having that typical snooty standoffish attitude, it’s actually monk-like energy that they have absorbed from the great tree auras that they are surrounded by.

Best coffee shop to chill on South first.

Laid back staff, fairly relaxed atmosphere. Great spot for meeting friends or doing some solo homework, although all chairs and tables are wooden. Nice, quiet back patio. Parking lot is tiny so beware, but its worth the hassle. Prices are typical of what you would expect based on location

An excellent shot of espresso pulled here. The latte was delightfully smooth and creamy. Small and cozy. Music in the background may be too loud for some, but doesnt overpower conversation. Black coffee was flavorful but not harsh. Good to go across board.

The coffee has to be one of the smoothest Ive had in a long while. Very relaxing place and full of energy. I really enjoy the latte, Im a fan of great espresso with less sugar as oppose to Starbucks with the sugar full coffee and the after effect with there caffeine. This coffee had a very smooth and all natural taste that I really enjoyed. A great quality espresso.

Perfect for studying or working, they have a nice back deck, and plenty of seating inside (with plenty of plugs to back it up)! The coffee is delicious and the barista was really nice.

Great coffee and love their outdoor patio. They have ample seating

For some reason I didn’t feel welcomed here. I wasn’t even asked if I wanted a “to go” or “for here” and was given a coffee in a to go container which Just doesn’t give a good cafe experience! Also, no hazelnut flavor is available. Coffee was good but chai latte felt like it didn’t had much milk.

Nice spot to pick up some Wild Gift espresso beans and, while there, order up some espresso, so you know how good it can taste when you later make it at home. I was able to hang and stay awhile in a pleasant and welcoming environment.

This place has an awesome vibe (and cold brew!) I came looking for a peaceful spot to enjoy morning coffee and read a book, and thats exactly what I got. The back deck overlooking Bouldin Creek is very tranquil and offers abundant shade. A great local coffee gem.

Passport Vintages power introduced me to Once Over, and im really am glad to discover such an amazing place. 😅❤️ Lovetheir service and coffee.🐕✨ Love the worlds smallest dog park.

I liked that I could find a decent parking spot on a Sunday morning but was not crazy about the menu items. Cold brew was average. Latte looked nice. Pastry was served cold but good! Tacos were okay, nothing spectacular. Pretty chill place overall. Clean place away from a crowd.

The coffee is great and it is a secret since it is not packed like other coffee shops in the area. Their breads are great. I got the strawberry banana bread.

This is my first time here and easily one of my favorites in Austin. The vibe is very relaxed and the patio is so peaceful as my wife and i enjoyed the shade and nature chirping around us. The barista was helpful, friendly and extremely talented (the woman with long brown wavy hair). They serve Wild Gift. I had the house coffee and espresso, both were balanced, sweet, and flavorful with great body. It lacks the weird hip/posh nature that makes ordering awkward and relaxation impossible in so many craft coffee houses. Few coffee shops feel like home anymore. Props to Once Over for keeping it craft and comfortable.

Im the past owner of a coffee house and have had espresso shots and cappuccinos all over the world. My cappuccino today at the Once Over Coffee Bar in Austin is in the top 2-3 of all time. Perfectly smooth and moured.

Best latte in South Austin dont @ me.

Great location, great staff, Friendly. Cozy if you where dining in.

A nice spot but theres not enough parking, and the lot is small and hard to navigate. Fair Bean is just a block away and has plentiful seating and equally good coffee plus better parking. Its slightly more but at least I can actually get there

4 Stars (Like it) for Coffee... First time here (Im actually here writing this review). Staff isnt friendly but not in a bad way, just quiet and not very informative. The ambience is quiet, which thats what you want from a place of work, but not cozy or welcoming. Cool deck though next to an almost dried up creek but chill!... Over all, coffee is really, really good and everything else is a 3 star (I came here for the coffee though :) Would I come again???...Yes but not my first pick

AMAZING Espresso, honestly some of the best espresso that I have had in Austin. They use a local Austin coffee roaster to get their beans fresh from the source and you can tell. Try their cold brew iced coffee as well, but beware its potent.

The insufferable hipster-manchild behind the counter was condescending and rude to me while I was here. After receiving my order, I walked away from the counter and near the back of the place, and had a private conversation about how the row of art near us was terrible scribble scratch. (It was literally scribbled crayola on an unframed piece of construction paper selling for $80.00)He took it upon himself to walk past me and mumble, Why dont you read the artist description first instead of being judgmental? not even stopping to make eye contact with me as he said it, or give me a chance to respond. He then does another drive-by again, and once again without stopping, mumbled: The artist is disabled. Thats why it is so expensive.Is one not justified in judging a piece of artwork for its aesthetic value? I should remain neutral both in the presence of a Giuseppe Crespi and a scribbled piece of paper? A disability somehow raises the value of a product or service? Thats the most pretentious thing I have ever heard. I truly am sorry youre 35 and still pouring coffee working for tips.

The staff is laid back and very nice. The coffee is superb and the atmosphere is great. Just what I look for in a coffee shop.Id suggest getting a breakfast Taco from the trailer out front, grabbing a coffee from Once Over and enjoying both on the back porch.

Great coffee and atmosphereStopped here on a trip to Austin. Coffee was really good and my wife enjoyed the cappuccino. The barista was really nice and friendly. A variety of people were in the shop hanging out. I would definitely recommend this place if your in the area.

Good coffee. Decent pastries, including gluten free ones. Nice feel to the place. Nice deck out back for spring and fall weather.

Wonderful place for a quite and good cup of coffee. And they are Eco friendly, so expect to get a receipt only by mail.

Stopped by almost by chance and I found the concept very interesting. Very cheap filter coffee which you can make even cheaper in case you bring your own mug. Good place to work or study.

Location was great. Definitely one of the more mellow places to hang out. No crazy line and plenty of places to sit. Coffee wasnt anything special but Im sure theyve got more worth trying.

Ignore the shabby exterior - all ye who enter here!No really, ignore the exterior, because inside is a pro-coffee shop - for pros, by pros.Very reasonably priced, expertly crafted cup of true whatever black stuff is your poison.Austin style service, in a true Austin original. I will take people here from out of town if they want to know what a real Austin place is.

To be fair, I’m a barista so I’m really particular. My shot was sour and I could tell by smell it wasn’t pulled correctly. Milk was too foamy. But the place is cute and the baristas are friendly! Chai is okay but the milk was a little too foamy. I tried a shot, a cortado and a chai. The cortado wasn’t made traditionally (too foamy and too hot). But if you’re looking for a cute spot and you’re not super particular about your coffee, then you’ll probably like it

Dont bother with the hot chocolate (Epochs is about 100 times better), but the atmosphere for working/studying and other drinks are great. Also, an amazing taco truck is right outside if youre there before 5pm

We walked into for our first tome and right away the guy seemed like he didnt want anthing to do with my friend and I. We mentioned it was our first time there and we asked him if he had sugar free, keto friendly coffee. He said no and then became rude. We decided right away to just leave and go elsewhere. I am a diabetic and also shouldnt have to explain my health issues to a totally rude guy. He was not at all accommodating.

Super cool barista / baristos. Great fresh roasted coffee and munchies. Soft chairs to stay long and chill. My new spot when Im back in town!

This coffee shop is tastefully Spartan in its decor, but still provides a comfortable place to sip coffee or beer and read, study or use your computer. South First Street boasts a number of high quality coffee shops in close proximity to each other and this fact makes for some creativity;therefore, Once Over has the Smallest Dog Park in the front yard. You will have to check it out for yourself.

I randomly searched for local coffee shops and this was #3 and close to where I was. Right off the bat, parking is tough. The parking lot is small and hard to get out of if its full (it was for me). Once in, the atmosphere had a very hipster feel. Seating inside was full but plenty of seating outside. If its rainy though, the outside is not covered. I tried their iced coffee ($3.50 if you pay cash. Credit is a bit more. I think they only have one size) it was OK. Not the best Ive had, but not the worst. WiFi was kind of slow. Over all. Its O.K. I might come back some day.

Small, homey, and not Starbucks. I think that means you win.

I stopped in to get some drinks to go with the tacos my boyfriend was buying from a trailer outside. When the barista found that out he invited us to bring in the tacos and enjoy the ac. This friendly gesture made me a repeat customer. I adore the iced coffee and the personal service I have yet to see anywhere else.

Espresso drinks are good but not great.The back patio is really relaxing and overall I like the aesthetic of this place. Sometimes the wifi runs a bit slow but otherwise its a cute place to get some work done or meet up with friends.

Great service and drink selection. Nice outside patio, in the back. Nice, chill place. Parking can be a challenge

Some of the lattes in Austin, as well as super fair pricing(a discount if you use cash). Super relaxed and friendly environment. Ive also noticed it is never super crowded and the staff is always very personable, real, and attentive.

Was passing by Austin and looking for a pour over coffee. Unfortunately they did not have pour overs. I like the location and the mood of the place. The coffee they suggest was good. Would come back again!

Strong wifi signal, strong coffee and the best chocolate chip cookie Ive had in a while (and I have a lot of cookies:)

Ive been to this coffe lounge a few times. Theyve had some awesome art printed on metal hanging on the walls. They also have a small patio in the back which is nice when there isnt anyone smoking. Its a relaxing little place to go!

Cool coffee shop in the bouldin neighborhood. Great coffee! Feel free to bring your own cup too.

So the coffee is amazing and they make a really great latte. The back patio is a hidden gem and completely unexpected: its super green and looks over the creek. The baristas could be friendlier, but I would categorize them as quiet rather than pretentious. Definitely one of the best coffee shops in town if youre not studying or working.

After moving closer to town Ive been trying every coffee shop on S. 1st. There is a Starbucks slated for Oltorf and 1st and I want to keep my money local. Tried Once Over and got a lukewarm cappuccino and heavy helping of surly but decided to try a second time thinking it might have been a fluke. Same lukewarm cappuccino, same woman, friendlier this time but gave her a twenty and got back $6. Pointed it out and she made it right but her demeanor made me realize it was a conscious attempt. Got the Once Over twice and will definitely not make it a third.

Cool little coffee shop with some great coffee. The barista seemed to have better stuff to do than make my order, but it still came out good. The parking is a little tight.

Great coffee and good pastries, I really liked the jam biscuits. Discount offered if you bring your own cup and/or pay in cash.Good WiFi.

Nice chill little spot with a cool back patio. Great stop for jumping on your laptop and grabbing some tea or coffee. They also have Dublin Dr. Pepper - WIN!

Really enjoyed this place. Sat out front under the tree on a chilly morning, drinking my delicious latte. Fair prices and friendly baristas.

Great coffee, Wild Gift, and fresh bread snacks. Cool vibe

I have been getting my coffee very morning since the first time I discovered this coffee bar a month ago. Best coffee I have ever had! The atmosphere is excellent there as well. A good place to hang out with friend in the bar and outside on the patio.

My drink is the iced mocha. Theirs is great but its a dollar more and 4 oz less than Starbucks. The seating is not super comfortable but they have great snacks and the staff is friendly.

Hidden gem, great view from their large shaded back patio!

Nice staff. Chill spot. Great coffee!

Best cappuccino in Austin!
