New Sound Cafe

“Delicious coffee, plenty of space and immaculate vibes!”

Andrea Martin★★★★★

This cafe is such a fantastic addition to Austin. I drove from Hyde Park to check it out, and it was absolutely worth the trip. I was struck by such warmth as soon as I entered, and the feeling lasted the duration of my visit. They did a great job designing the space to feel open and bright, while being cozy and comfortable. Good coffee and food, great service and vibes. I don’t know the details, but there are markers throughout the building that signal their support of people and community. The upstairs space is a real game changer, and I can’t wait to return in the summer when the huge back patio is open. But I’ll be back before then!

Great local coffee shop with friendly and professional staff. Enjoyed a working lunch here, working on my laptop in the very comfortable upstairs area. The coffee was great, and the chicken curry sandwich was delish. Highly recommended.

I was so impressed by the reasonable prices! As soon as I walked in I felt so welcomed. The decor is really fun and beautiful, and it’s a wonderful place to read, work, chat with a friend, or just have a moment to relax! I got the maple spice latte and it’s super yummy! Nothing on the menu seemed overly priced. There are bathrooms and plenty of tables. It would be too cold now in the winter, but they have a really nice patio which would be a great summer hang out spot. Would recommend!!

Bright and airy cafe with patio seating out back. Most baked goods come from a small local specialty baker.

If you are in or near Chicago’s Austin neighborhood, stop into New Sound Café! The drinks, paninis , soup, and baked goods are delish, and their commitment to community is powerful. Add the friendly owner and employees to the mix and visiting it becomes a must! Did I mention the clean and creative design? Just wow!

Felt super lucky to stumble upon this GEM! Spoke with the owner briefly when we entered- the esthetic is immaculate and pays homage to the building’s original life. Large seating area full of natural light and a quiet outdoor patio. Definitely plan to make this a routine stop. Had an iced latte, almond milk and homemade vanilla syrup, very tasty. The staff were very friendly. Wish they had a vegan food item, but would be my only suggestion. Really excited to visit again.

Atmosphere gets the highest rating of all! You can’t experience anything but peace with only praise and worship playing. I’m so grateful this place exists!! I added a photo of a restroom because it’s something I an always want to know but is rarely included in reviews. Single-use restrooms and very clean. 🤩🎉
