“ They have THE BEST customer service. Very friendly and nice. Great coffee and location. And if you’re a remote worker, best places to cross everything from your to-do list. Huge space as well. ”

“ Medici is located across the street of UT campus. I enjoy the atmosphere here. Students work on their stuffs and be productive at this place. Iced latte is great here. Espresso tasted balanced, not too sour or too bitter. I especially like the crushed ice inside. If you happen to visit this area, Medici is a great place to have a sip of coffee and take a rest. ”

“ A two-level coffee shop in a university district, and the academic energy here is real. While other coffee shops start shifting to a weekend vibe by Friday afternoon, this place stays focused—even on a Saturday, most people are locked into their screens, studying or working. It’s great knowing there’s a spot where you can still find a productive atmosphere on the weekend. The coffee is excellent, and the space feels open and inviting, thanks to the high ceilings and second level. We grabbed a table upstairs, which offered a nice view of the cafe below. Good music, good design, and a balanced mix of quiet and activity. By the time we arrived, all pastries were sold out, but that’s on us for coming after the morning rush. Clearly, this place keeps busy, and for good reason. If you’re looking for a solid coffee spot with a studious, focused atmosphere, Medici Roasting delivers. A must-visit if you need a weekend work session with great coffee. ”

“ Medici Coffee Shop on Guadalupe is a revelation—a tranquil oasis amid the city's relentless pace. As you step inside, you’re immediately embraced by an ambiance that effortlessly melds vintage elegance with a modern twist. The aroma of freshly roasted coffee permeates the air, inviting you to pause and savor the moment like a cherished interlude from the ordinary. The true heartbeat of this establishment, however, is Molly. With an uncanny ability to intuit your mood and pair it with the perfect brew, Molly transcends the role of a mere barista. She is an artisan of flavor and a warm beacon of hospitality. Every recommendation she offers is delivered with a personal touch that transforms a simple coffee run into an experience steeped in both craft and care. Her infectious smile and genuine enthusiasm remind you that here, every cup is a testament to the art of connection. It’s for these reasons—and countless subtle details in every corner of the shop—that I bestow Medici Coffee Shop a solid 5-star rating. Whether you’re seeking a quiet moment of reflection or a lively conversation over expertly crafted coffee, this gem on Guadalupe stands ready to elevate your day. ”

“ Been going here for a year and some change- the baristas all deserve more than an applause. They see hundreds of students daily- many of them who don’t even say thank you. But they still show up, practice their latte art, and share an experience with The Drag and UT. They’ve opened the doors to homelessness, student organizations, and so much more. I think it’s one of the greatest tasting coffees in Austin and I’ve heard the same from so many people! When dialed correctly, a double espresso can showcase their awesome vision for specialty coffee. More than anything, the baristas at Guad are some of the most fun and heart-filled people and if given the chance to be treated like humans with feelings and compassion, you’d also join the hundreds of regulars (UT students, UT professors, people who work remotely, and people who have lived in Austin and have experienced the story of Medici the last 17 years) who take the time to head to Medici over any other local specialty shop in Austin. The one thing that does suck is parking so good luck with that! ”

“ Today I finally decided to try Medici Roasting after hearing from one of my professors how good it is. I ordered a hot Pumpkin Pie Latte, and it was so delicious! It was the perfect mixture between sweet and bitter. The customer service was excellent, the baristas are very sweet and know what they’re doing. I stayed for 3 hours doing some essays on the second floor. Very cozy and warm atmosphere. I liked how it was a good balance between loud and quiet. Thank you!! I will definitely come back to try new items. ”

“ I've been coming here once a week as a little pick me up after I meet with my therapist who works off of UT campus. It is always clean and smells nice in here, the baristas are kind and respectful and always playing something interesting on the speakers. The vibes downstairs differ from those upstairs, one being quieter and one being more sociable and noisy, so it's nice to have two different options depending on your mood. There is charm and character to the inside with wood paneling and real wooden tables and chairs and a real brick wall. Very cozy industrial. The coffee has never disappointed me, it's coffee! And they have a GREAT selection of food and treats available throughout the day. Would recommend it as a place to stop if you're looking for coffee in and around guad and the campus. ”
