This place has a great vibe. I'm sitting out on their huge patio watching a fire blaze in their outdoor fireplace. No, it's not an invitation for vagabonds to roast marshmallows - It's a delightfully cozy cafe. Great italian gelato - tasty coffee, friendly staff, good music - and free easy to access internet. I can't imagine what more a... More

If you want a real, original cappuccino Italiano in Texas, go to Teo's coffee! I'm an exchange student from Italy and I'm spending a year in Austin. I love cappuccino, it's something that makes my day better since the morning. Teo is the only place in Austin where I found a cappuccino that reminds me of home, and tastes exactly... More

Teo's coffee is served with the artful touch of Alberto who is originally from Florence. His symetrical hearts on the top of traditional Italian coffees are an authentic touch to exquisite expressos and coffees. Customers delight in practicing their Italian and reminising about their trips to Italy with barista Alberto. I recommend the cafe mocha and almond pastry. Their turkey... More

Cappuccino is an ITALIAN drink... the name comes from the Capuchin Friars, an order of Franciscan monks whose habits were tan, like the crema on a properly made cup of cappuccino. What passes as cappuccino at chains like Starbucks and Coffee Bean and Tea is a joke and could not be farther from the authentic Italian drink. If you want... More

Cannot beat it, period. I highly recommend this place for many, many reasons. Hours, free wifi, best coffee, gelato(!) and location! Do not tell your friends! It's a secret!

I only had the gelato - raspberry to be exact, but my friends also enjoyed some drinks and said they were just wonderful. What really, really gave me the warm fuzzies about this place is that my friend's son accidentally dropped a full container of gelato on the floor and they replaced it at no cost. Just great customer service.

How can you go wrong with a shop full of gelato? Cones. bowls, optional toppings over numerous varieties of decadently delicious treats. Samples if you're not sure. Sugar free available. Friendly service. Enjoy your dessert indoors or on the patio. Have some coffee too! Located in a retail strip center. Parking.

I had read about the Italian training of Teo's owner, but it took out of town friends with a gelato craving to get me there. And I was back in a matter of days for $2.00 Tuesday! Creamy rich gelato is assuredly not diet food but go indulge on the best chocolate hazelnut you will ever taste. Or bourbon vanilla.... More

No doubt, this place has the best gelato in town. The gelato is always fresh and whatever flavor you get, the taste is wonderful and intense. My favorite flavors are pistachio, hazelnuts, almond joy, chocolate, chocolate chips, coconut, strawberry chocolate chips, peach, mango, guava, lemon, lime, oh.... heck... everything there is good.. It's hard to pick favorites! Oh... and the... More
