Flitch Coffee

I stopped at El Chilito one morning for a taco and a coffee. Got in my truck and headed east down 7^th. The El Chilito coffee was so bad I couldn’t drink it. Luckily, at about 7^th and Pleasant Valley, I remembered a friend’s instagram post about Flitch Coffee. I stopped in, got a small coffee, and left. Was there for about 30 seconds. Cute trailer, great vibe, etc, but I was in a hurry. Got in my truck, sipped my coffee, and was blown away by how good it was. I think this is the best cup of coffee I’ve had in Austin. Very impressed. Will be back.

Super cute local business run by a warm and genuine young woman. Great environment to do work or to sit and talk with friends. Love the yard space, but the seating in the airstream is nice and cozy. They even have a mini art gallery inside. A must go!

What a cool place! Real baristas not relying on automated machines, it makes a difference. Outside seating has a great atmosphere. I don’t live close, but the other patrons gave a sincere sense of community. Almost everyone knew each other which was cool to witness.

Love the set up, love the wood concept. It’s my kind of atmosphere jam for sure. Quiet and cozy, tucked away in an east side Austin neighborhood. I was more fascinated with the RV and its unique design than the menu, but the green tea I had was fantastic! No need for honey! I can’t wait to try their coffee.

I love this coffee shop, whenever I’m in town I make special trips to hang out before I start my day. Friendly atmosphere with I huge tree overhead and nestled next to a furniture shop that made the custom interiors and outdoor furniture. On top of all that, the coffee is incredible.

Favorite coffee spot in Austin! Erica is so nice and friendly and the coffee is delicious! Lots of outdoor seating plus it’s dog and kid friendly. It’s the perfect place to hang out on a Saturday morning with your dogs. We are so lucky this is within walking distance from our house!

This place is awesome! Tons of outdoor seating, and the iced tea is to die for. If they have the Turkish Mint, do yourself a favor and get some. Prices are also totally reasonable, you could even say they’re on the cheaper end of reasonable. Bottom line, go here!

This is a magical little wonderland of what Austin should be about. Clean and sleek design that also draws you in to sit and relax– it reminds me of the Chelsea Highline in NYC. The trailer is so welcoming and homey without being informal, and I love that you walk inside to order. The owner is a spectacularly nice person, and it’s a real treat to chat her up when I visit.
The real reason one goes back to a coffee place is of course, the coffee. This is the ONLY place I know of in Texas to get a Maple Latté and I don’t even have to bring my own maple syrup. Which I have done. So there. The espresso is rich and full but not bitter or acrid, the presentation is spot on. I love nothing more than a mapley, foamy, espresso-​milk mustache, decorated with THE most perfect latte art.
My dog wants to put in his two cents:
«Jake the dog is my friend. He works at this trailer too. We like to lie on the porch at Flitch and look at each other. Jake is nice. He smells like coffee and sunshine.»
I think that sums it up nicely.

Erica is awesome, and makes a flawless cappuccino, although over the summer I’ve been going for the iced drinks. Her cold brew is my favorite in town — not too strong, not too bitter — and the funky iced teas she picks are pretty tasty too.

It would be easy to drive past this tucked –away coffee spot — but don’t! The awesome craft coffee and perfect outdoor seating make for a great spot for either lingering or a quick pick-​up.

Great new shop down the street from the office. Restored Spartan trailer, great coffee from texas and Wisconsin roasters. Erica and Jake the coffee dog can’t be nicer.
Go get a real coffee here soon.

A short walk through a leafy green street in east Austin, yielded an unexpected coffee trailer in the large parking lot of a working hardware garage. Misplaced next to an old gray cottage, with piles of fresh lumber stacked on metal tables, acting as sculpture, in this big concrete lot a quite serene tree shaded patio in the corner provided a sound meditative space for coffee and chat, as roosters crowed, ducks quacked in nearby neighbors yards, while soft sounds of construction parlayed in the back ground of this rapidly growing east austin neighborhood.
«We’re the only coffee shop this side of Pleasant Valley», the poised pale and pretty smiling Chicago gal that wo-​mans this trailer informed me as she poured my triple Americano in her simple but woodsy décor outfitted metal trailer.
I scored a strawberry pop tart from Luckys
and found a cinder block to perch on for a cigarette away from the communal patio as locusts churred and birds chirped, and I sipped on a bright, acidic coffee that didn’t quit taste like the full rich body of espresso but rather an excellently brewed coffee revealing a tasty bean.
The remoteness of the spot is in fact one of its high points, so come grab an easy cup from this 3 month young coffee trailer if you want to escape the brouhaha of funky east side.
Coffee and pastries

I love the vibe of this coffee shop here in East Austin… Great people, easy conversations… and the drinks are very solid. I will be a regular customer.

Erica is great! , and she makes a great Americano. I had the pleasure of visiting Flitch Coffee when I visited Austin for the first time. I was brought here by a friend of mine that lived locally. Come on by if you what a great coffee!

Erica at Flitch Coffee is a talented barista and a visionary who has brought excellent coffee and a special neighborhood addition to this part of East Austin. She has set up shop in a beautiful 1955 Spartan trailer that sits in front of Hatch Workshop and is accompanied by her dog Jake Crane. My husband and I came here on opening day and we have been returning since. We recently stopped by earlier today with some friends both in and from out of town and they all concurred that Erica serves some of the best lattes in Austin. Her latte art is also on point. Enough said.
