I promise this isn’t going to become an Austin coffee blog. But, please understand that coffee is the fuel that will help keep this blog going. Without it, there might not be any content! So, the coffee tour continues…

One of the best lattes I have found in Austin comes from Caffe Medici. I’m not an espresso afficianado, but I’ve had enough lattes to form opinions. One thing I know — latte art matters. It’s not just that it makes the coffee look pretty. It also shows that the milk was steamed to the right texture. I’ve had 3-4 lattes at Medici, and they have nailed it everytime as far as texture, and art, goes.

They have two locations, one on Lynn, and one on The Drag, across from UT, where Metro Coffee used to be. I’ve not been to the Guadalupe location, at least not since Medici took it over. But I have been to Lynn. The great coffee comes with a price, because parking and table space is usually at a premium. I’ve found that if I don’t get there before mid morning, I’m usually out of luck.
