Terrible Love

I was just saying how it’s been a long time since I’ve had a coffee that impressed me. I wish I lived closer to this place— truly a hidden gem! The place is so cute and love the branding for pictures- but most of all, our drinks were so, so good!! Grapefruit brown sugar latte & terrible latte — most coffee shops that do unique flavors.. it’s hard to actually taste, but these were done wonderfully!! So smooth and creamy. Highly recommend!

Super super cute little place I got the terrible latte and my mom got the grapefruit brown sugar latte (would recommend getting an extra shot of espresso in a 16oz so the coffee is stronger) and they were both so fire the banana and grapefruit is not too strong in each def am going back

I would definitely recommend the cold brew with grapefruit syrup, it’s so tasty and refreshing, also very unique to this place. Their matcha and banana drink is also pretty good!! The banana in no way overpowers the matcha instead both flavors meld pretty nicely. Also their breakfast tacos are delicious, $4 each but very tasty. I am Mexican and I approve of them!! If you like and can handle spice I would recommend you go for the red salsa, the green salsa has a kick too but it’s to watery for me. I think the red salsa has a bit of chile morita mixed with chile de arból and it’s chef’s kiss 💋. I got the potato & cheese and the bean & cheese burritos, so I recommend those. Parking is pretty spacious in the basketball part of their lot and their seating is outdoors. They don’t take cash btw. May 2025 update: went back to get my breakkie tacos and unfortunately both sauces are no good anymore 😭😭 they’re both super watery, not worth it anymore. Drinks are still good tho.

Flew in from Charlotte, NC and we gotta say this was not what we expected pulling up to it. After realizing the atmosphere and really just taking it in, we found the uniqueness of its location and atmosphere to be pleasantly surprised. We embraced it and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. I ordered the Cortado and my wife ordered an iced latte.

Terrible Love is fabulous and serves a lovely, smooth, delicious cappuccino! The housemade grapefruit brown sugar syrup is delightful and perfectly pairs with the espresso. I love citrus, and grapefruit elevates the cappuccino above the typical orange flavoring. Amazing! The cute green mug they serve it in makes the experience even better. Super sweet and friendly staff. Adorable place with flowers lining the entrance and lots of outdoor seating under huge trees. Lots of parking in the lot. Such a hidden gem in Austin!

Very unassuming location, even when you arrive you kind of have look around for where the counter is. But I was greeted by possibly the nicest person, just as unassuming as the business, but very engaging and friendly. They have house made varieties, including a grapefruit brown sugar latte, which I really should have tried. Their signature latte (TRRBL) is a banana, chocolate & vanilla wafers mess that I will come back for. This was my first time and I just went for their cappuccino which was very well made.

I love this little coffee spot! It’s always busy, sometime the wait could be 15 minutes or longer, and for good reason. The coffee is excellent, with well-balanced and unique flavor profiles. Their signature Grapefruit Brown-sugar Latte and Terrible Love Latte are both amazing and unlike anything you’ll find at a typical coffee shop. The baristas are always friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Definitely one of my favorite coffee spots in Austin!

Highly recommend: The grapefruit brown sugar latte – it was very smooth with a great balance of citrus and caramelized sugar flavors. Timing: Definitely come early. We arrived at 9:30 AM and waited about 20 minutes just to order, plus another 5–10 minutes for the drinks to be ready. Overall: Even with the queue, it was definitely worth the wait! It's a popular spot, so just be prepared for a bit of a crowd.

terrible line but lovely and warm service and even better coffee ☕. You have to get the Terrible Latte, it's a must try for first time customers. We also got the grapefruit latte but didn't really taste the grapefruit note. The peppermint tea was clutch for a warm day and a Cortado in the afternoon woke me up. Plenty of chairs and food pop up really make the place a good place to meet up with friends

This coffee shop is so cute! One of the most unique spots I have been to. I came for the first time on a Friday morning & they do have a good amount of parking which is rare in Austin. The service was great. I ordered the terrible latte with almond milk & it was the perfect ratio of syrups/espresso/milk. Drink was nice and strong, i did get 3 shots in my latte though.There is also outdoor seating which was nice. They did not have a whole lot of food options though, but no big deal. Will def be coming back.
