There's only a few of these in existence and Austin has one! This is what Starbucks probably set out to be before they became the run-of-the-mill espresso maker. Starbucks Reserve is the finest and most delicious -- ask for their Hazelnut bianco latte (House-made hazelnut-praline-infused milk with reserve espresso) or their Dark Chocolate Mocha which is DIVINE! The space is also decadent with a huge, thick wood bar and leather stools and chairs.
