Pretty cool coffee shop, a little slow on the service and register but good coffee and pastries. I also had some peanut butter chocolate chip banana bread that was delicious.
The coffee was delicious and the decor and seating inside was quite comfortable - just the perfect amount of hip. Ultra friendly staff and patrons were nice as well. I think it's a good sign when you notice that all the patrons of a location are also friendly! Good spot for some quick empanadas with your morning coffee!
Great coffee... food that is freshly made, healthy, and yummy. Owner takes such personal care and pride in his products. Like eating in his house. Not super fast.. because people love this place and care is taken with each customer. Try the scones... or I can't believe I am saying this the vegan empanada so yummy.
I have been a regular at Fair Bean for about a year, and they consistently make delicious coffee and coffee drinks. They also sell coffee and espresso beans as well as empanadas, sandwiches and other pastries. I haven't tried much of the food, but I have tried the empanadas- which are good, but not great. The owner is almost always there, and everyone who works there is extremely friendly. Also, if you ever want to have a coffee meeting, unlike most central Austin coffee shops, there is always an available table.
This place is fantastic. They have an excellent selection of perfectly roasted single origin coffees, great baked goods, and it's a nice place to sit and work for a while with wifi and plenty of power outlets.
The coffee is really the reason to go though - it is absolutely top notch, and subtle flavors come out in each of the beans they have (there are something like 7 or 8 to choose from each day). BUT, it's still very reasonably priced - a french press for two is $3.75. I can't say enough good things about Fair Bean - check it out.
