Sightseer Coffee Roasters

austin's specialty coffee scene has real teeth. the city has spent years building a culture where independent roasters can do serious work, and sightseer coffee roasters, tucked into a suite on west stassney lane in the 78745 zip, is part of that fabric. south austin doesn't get the same foot traffic as, say, the domain or south congress, but that tends to attract the roasters who are focused on the coffee itself rather than the scene around it. you come here because you actually want what's in the cup, not because it's on the way to somewhere else. sightseer has built a strong reputation that holds up under scrutiny, which is harder to do in this city than people assume. a good place to start is whatever single-origin pour-over they're running that week.
