Emerald City is a coffee shop done right. We focus on the coffee and espresso menu with a variety of locally roasted beans served in a variety of different ways. We know you get hungry, too, so we offer scratch-made pastries, breakfast tacos, as well as a line of delish sandwiches made deom scratch. Top it off with fair prices, great attitude, and a commitment to our community, that's Emerald City.

Our Bread

This is the neighborhood near the University of Texas campus, where of one of my very favorite coffee shops (Spider House) lives, down in Austin. We used to roam through those streets late at night, smokin’ our doobies, talkin’ about whatever deep stuff that would come to mind. And then we would spend a few hours in that outdoor area, just chillin’. Just west of Spider House, was a spot called Mojos, which is where I fell in love with coffee shops. Unfortunately, Mojos, and it’s 24 hours and 2 floors of constant debate and planning and reading and writing, does not exist anymore. Last time I went by there, so long ago now, it was a hookah lounge, which I’m sure is pretty cool and all, but you know, coffee. Please notice Ken’s Donuts. You ever have a chocolate donut after a night of smoking, coffee and pontificating? Hits the spot. Please visit Spider House if ever in Austin. They are still going strong.
