Your A-List: Best Coffeehouse
Longtimer Ruta Maya, which occupies a capacious cavern at Penn Field off South Congress, came in a distant second with 9 percent of the tally. Mozart’s, which roasts up divine beans on Lake Austin, got 8 percent. Irie Bean Coffee Bar, which has brightened up South Lamar Boulevard, took 6 percent, while Austin Java, which serves major food at multiple locations trailed Irie Bean by just a couple of votes.
Spider House and Jo’s virtually tied at the next spot, while Caffe Medici drew the No. 9 slot. Taking 2 percent or less were Flipnotics, Bouldin Creek, Thunderbird Coffee, Little City, Quack’s, Flightpath, Dominican Joe, JP’s Java, Green Muse, Cafe Mundi, Halcyon, La Dolce Vita, Progress Coffee and Clementine Coffee Bar — but lots and lots of people voted.
(Out & About note: The only one I’ve never visited is Thunderbird. Guess where my next meeting will be.)
Write-ins: Bobalu’s, Enoteca, Epoch, Mandola’s, Sodade’s, Starbucks, Summermoon, Trianon, Wake the Dead

I think Andersons on Kerbey Lane deserves a mention, for their $1 cup of coffee and the fact that Jamie Anderson was discipled by Alfred Peet in the art of coffee bean roasting.

Mad props to Irie Bean which was apparently a write in and still came in fourth!

Kick Butt Coffee rocks! Their smoothies are top-notch too, especially their Antiox smoothie(blueberry and pomegranate). And their cinnamon buns are GREAT!
We go several times a week, especially on Wednesday's Comedy Night!
Go! Now! :D
