Cuvee Coffee

you're on east ave, which puts you right at the edge of rainey street's low-rise sprawl before it gives way to the lake. cuvee coffee has been part of austin's specialty scene long enough that locals don't think twice about it, they just show up. the roasting operation gives the whole thing a backbone most cafes don't have, because what ends up in your cup started with their own sourcing decisions, not someone else's wholesale contract. austin has no shortage of places to spend four dollars on an espresso, but fewer of them control the supply chain this closely. if you're in the area mid-morning, the east ave location is an easy anchor for the day.
