KickButt Coffee: Tipping is not a City in China, We Know We’ve Been There.

To me, studying and working involves two things: a good stretch of time and the perfect coffee shop. After wedging my way into the packed coffee houses in Austin, I found myself lost, coffee-haven-less, if you will. I needed a change of venues and pronto (thank you multiple paper deadlines).

I landed in KickButt Coffee. As shallow as it sounds, the name and logo with the karate man with red hair pulled me in. (I’m not sorry.)

I walked in and immediately noticed the giant plasma screen on the back wall. (A kid and a barista were playing wii. Hilarious. The kid won.)

The entire place was karate themed with red walls, bamboo and fans. Just enough. Not so much that you feel like you’re in a Jackie Chan movie.

Anyways, it turned out to be a pleasant studying experience. The music (and the four other people) weren’t too loud. My medium chai-soy-latte was the average price of around $4. And when I needed a distraction I stared at the karate sticks on the wall or the next person stepping up to the wii.

Its on Airport. Right next to Highland Mall. Near 2222.

    Thought it was appropriate. It handwritten on a card taped to the counter.
