Dear Diary Coffeehouse

Accidentally stumbled upon Dear Diary while on the way to get a bagel, but was drawn in by the huge VEGAN sign on the front! Loved the grab and go options and had a yummy breakfast taco from The Vegan Nom. It was indeed Nom!

While the coffeehouse space is quite small, there were many people on laptops there and tons of cute art for sale!

Dear Diary Coffeehouse is the epitome of Austin's quirky, all-vegan coffee scene. This place has a unique charm and a community vibe that really won me over, especially with their inventive pastry selection. I was eyeing the peanut butter cups, but with the barista's recommendation, I went for the pop tart - something I haven't enjoyed since childhood. The apple pie flavor was a delightful choice - make sure to ask them to warm it up for you. It's a game-changer. And to drink, I kept it simple with a superb oat milk latte.

I loved the decor of the space with a mini gift shop all around the perimeter. My favorite little detail was the community notebook which everyone can contribute too!

I stopped by after getting some stuff from Paws on Chicon across the street. I didn't realize that this shop was vegan so no dairy. Here I am ordering lattes with regular milk - the cashier simply said "we don't have dairy" which it took me a minute to process what she meant..."ohhhh wait, this place is vegan?? Cool then oat milk works" was my exact reaction. They have art work for sale and lots of knick knacks. I could see people coming here to read or have a quick coffee date. Small space and the lattes were just okay.

We found this place by accident but this place is a true gem! It's 100% vegan and offers up coffees, teas and pastries as well as vegan tacos for breakfast!! We got a vegan taco and enjoyed the cozy space. The service was fast and friendly!

Was super excited to try Dear Diary Coffee because of the great reviews. Unfortunately we were extremely let down. The matcha latte we were given looked nothing close to the quality of other lattes in the pictures. The matcha tasted bitter and there were tons of clumps at the bottom. Assuming that matcha was not whisked and prepared properly and it's not ceremonial grade. My drink was inedible so had to throw it away due to the terrible preparation. Don't waste your money like me :( would not recommend this spot for matcha.

Look I love the idea of this place. And I hate to ever give a vegan place less than 5 stars, however, the staff can't make a good coffee. Every time I go I'm disappointed and out at least 20 bucks. They are also always out of the vegan Kolaches, which aren't that good in the first
place. I just like the idea of going to a vegan breakfast place that supports local artists. Great concept poorly executed.

I will say the vegan cake is delicious.
And I enjoy the community journal.
Those 2 things and the bathroom wall paper is what I enjoy most.
And the pottery coffee mugs from one of their artists.

We went here after our workout on a whim and it did not disappoint. I am not a coffee person so I get anxiety when people want to do coffee. However this place has many other non coffee options which was nice to see. I got the hibiscus tea and thoroughly enjoyed it. We also got vegan breakfast tacos which really hit the spot after an intense workout and is highly recommended. I do not think they make the tacos in house though I can't remember where they get them from. Either way, the tacos and tea are good and the actual cafe is very cute inside. There are a lot of fun stationary items to explore. This place would be a good place to come by and do some work because it wasn't super crowded and loud. I will definitely go again, most likely after my workout!

Very good coffee and great selection of 100% vegan breakfast items, tacos, and desserts. Also love that they showcase art for sale by local Austin artists.

My wife and I stumbled on this coffee shop to finish some work. There was a lot of seating and tables to work from and guest wifi. The barista was kind and helpful, as well as very personable. They have a few gluten-free pastry options and the pastry we had and coffee were solid. I'll have to bookmark this place to visit when I'm in the area again.

The cafe had a cute vibe that immediately charmed me upon entering. What I particularly appreciated was their commitment to supporting local artists, with art adorning the walls that added to the cozy atmosphere. The friendly service further enhanced the experience, making it feel like a welcoming community hub. Although their specialty coffee was on the expensive side, I decided to give the barista-recommended spiced vanilla latte a try, and while it was alright, it didn't quite live up to the high expectations. Nevertheless, the cafe proved to be a good study/work spot, offering a comfortable and conducive environment for productivity, making it a place I'd consider returning to despite the coffee experience.
