In Short
The two sisters who own Pacha have decked out the converted bungalow with tables covered in colorful oilcloth and charmingly mismatched wooden chairs. On nice days, the individuals or pairs of friends that frequent opt to sit on the front or back porch, or grab a sunny spot by one of the picture windows. The emphasis is on top-quality beverages and food, with organic,fair-trade coffees from South America and many items--such as empanadas, soups and breakfast tacos--made from scratch.

This is a nice little place with good coffee and a very friendly staff. South American motif interior. No wireless internet.

I just moved to Austin from Dallas, where I am used to Starbucks being on every corner and only a few cool, locally-owned coffee houses in existence. Austin is replete with these, and some of them are every bit as pretentious as a Dallas Starbucks, but in that singular "Austin" way; and don't act like you are not every bit as pretentious than Dallas, Austin, but in a different and more fun way. This place seems to have a bit of that "I am hipper than you, more artsy than you, listen to more live music than you, and am more well-read than you so don't make eye-contact with me" vibe that seems prevalent since moving here. HOWEVER....the coffee is excellent, the food is reasonably priced and tastes great, and they even have some vegan options-yes, Dallas lost one of it's five or six vegans when I moved here! I was quite put off when I was told that they will not take credit or debit cards for a purchases under five bucks, but it was well worth it when I came back with cash. Well done Pacha! I look forward to many more stops.

Greeaaaat coffee!!, great atmosphere, and friendly customer service. Went there with friends and we sat on the front porch and chatted. It was very relaxing. Their nutty banana bread was such a treat.!! Totally loved it! Definitely will go back there.
