I first discovered Jo's at the Austin Airport and loved it! So when I spotted the 2nd Street location, I had to stop for my morning fix. The Mocha was so good that I went back for a second. The service was excellent, and there’s both indoor and outdoor seating. They also serve food, and the menu looks great!

I had no idea this coffee shop served full-sized plates! They have a menu from breakfast to lunch. I was really impressed with the Migas Plate. The eggs were perfectly cooked, not dry, and they came with tortillas and great beans. There’s also a lot of space inside, even though it doesn’t look like it from the curb. I highly recommend checking it out for more than just a cup of coffee!

First time visit and found it to be a good experience. I was on the hunt for an expresso based coffee and ended up having breakfast too. The bacon taco wasn't bursting with flavour but tasted good all the same. Friendly staff. Dog friendly. Couldn't ask for anything else.

Great spot for a morning coffee/breakfast. Perfect post-run fuel. The staff behind the counter were very kind, and the patio is a welcome place to enjoy a little downtime. Migas taco and potato taco were delicious, and the latte was fantastic!

The food was so good, and the price and location so convenient in relationship to the convention center, that I ate here three times during my time at SXSW Edu! Got the migas plate twice, and the southwest salad once. All were generous portions - the potatoes were particularly good. Also enjoyed their signature coffee. The interior is a basic diner, and the exterior tables could use cleaning more often, but I loved being able to eat on the patio.

Stopped here randomly for breakfast while I was visiting Austin and it was SO good. Their iced coffee was great and I got their egg white & feta wrap special which was also very good. Nice outdoor patio and a cool interior also. Quick and nice people working here. 10/10.

Got to check out Jo's Coffee @ Downtown. The bacon taco with the spicy sauce was delicious and enjoyed my vanilla latte as well!
