Editorial Review for Genuine Joe Coffeehouse – by Andrea Abel
In Short
Sage green and cream walls and large windows frame dark, hardwood floors to provide a cozy counterpoint to bustling Anderson Lane. This stone house-turned-coffee house features the Board Room in the front with two comfy sofas that can be reserved for meetings. In the main room, tables and chairs, deep sofas and counters and stools, along with ample plug-ins for electronics, allow patrons to enjoy espressos, chais and steamers with their scones and sandwiches.

User Reviews for Genuine Joe Coffeehouse

It should be noted at the onset that this review is coming from someone who recently toured most of the so-called best cafes in Austin. I can knowledgeably say that Genuine Joe edges out its competition with ease... and loads of atmosphere. If pretentious baristas is your thing, you will be disappointed as the entire Genuine Joe staff is outgoing and willing to help you instead of ignore you, ie. too-cool-for-school Flightpath on Duvall. A friendly & helpful staff - what a concept. For an inviting and warm cafe, Genuine Joe gets it right in every way: powerful and consistent wi-fi, enough room for all, and outlets for your electonics-jungle galore! No wonder there are so many regulars. Mucho Kudos to G.J. See you there.
Pros: top notch service, comfortable atmosphere, open mic only on one night (i kid, I kid)
Cons: not open 24/7

I was super excited when this coffee shop first opened right when I had just moved to Hardy Drive two summers ago. It was about a one-minute walk to Genuine Joe's from my house. The staff were always really down to earth, the customers seemed pretty chill, and the coffee concoctions are pretty interesting and yummy. It's a real house that they turned into a coffee shop, so you kind of feel like you're at your aunt's house or something. I like the patio out front; it's a great place to meet someone for a date. I'm sad that I moved, but I'm only about a 10-minute drive away now.
Pros: yummy coffee, nice staff, chill atmosphere
Cons: none
