Mon – Sat · 7am – 5pm · Austin, TX
The things our regulars just can't leave without.
Our signature drink — a double-shot oat milk latte with a hint of vanilla bean and toasted caramel. It's the one that keeps people coming back Monday through Saturday. Smooth, warming, and completely addictive.
$6.50
Golden, fluffy buttermilk waffles served with seasonal fruit compote and real maple syrup. Made fresh every morning from Lena's own recipe that's been on the menu since day one. A non-negotiable for weekend (and weekday) mornings.
$11.00
Flaky, buttery croissants sourced fresh each morning from a local Austin bakery, served with wildflower honey and a soft herb butter. Paired with any coffee, it's the simplest and most satisfying thing you'll eat all week.
$4.75
Our Story
The Hearth & Bean was born from a simple idea: Austin deserved a neighborhood café that actually felt like the neighborhood. Lena Torres opened the doors with a clear mission — create a space where locals could slow down, connect, and feel genuinely welcomed the moment they walked in. Not a chain. Not a concept. Just a really good coffee shop that knows your name.
Everything on our menu is chosen with intention. Lena works with local suppliers wherever possible — from our pastry partners to the beans we roast — because supporting Austin means more than just being located here. It means investing in the community that makes this city worth waking up early for.
We believe a great café is about more than the cup in your hand. It's the morning check-in with the barista who remembers your order. It's the corner table that feels like yours. It's the unhurried feeling of a place that isn't trying to rush you out. That's the standard we hold ourselves to, every single day.
Whether you're a first-timer who wandered in from the street or a regular who's been with us since the beginning — you belong here. The Hearth & Bean is always open for a chat, a snack, or just a quiet moment with a really good cup of coffee. Lena and the whole team are glad you're here.

"I moved to Austin a year ago and The Hearth & Bean was the first place that made me feel like I actually belonged here. I come in every Tuesday and Thursday morning — the baristas already know my order before I reach the counter. The Hearthside Latte is genuinely the best coffee I've had in this city, no contest. Lena has built something really special."

"We had our neighborhood book club here last month and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating — they set up a corner for us, kept the coffee coming, and even brought out a cookie tray we didn't ask for. The Buttermilk Waffles are what dreams are made of. This place has such a warm, lived-in feeling. It's the neighborhood café Austin needed."

"I'm a freelance writer and I've worked from just about every café in Austin. The Hearth & Bean is where I get my best work done — good wifi, no pressure to leave, and genuinely great food. The Breakfast Sandwich is my go-to, and I always grab a Lemon Blueberry Muffin on the way out. It's hard to find places that actually feel welcoming when you're on your laptop all day, but this is the one."
