Malone Specialty Coffee: Austin’s Freshest Soul in a Cup

At Malone Specialty Coffee, every cup tells a story—a journey from a breakfast table epiphany to a celebrated Austin roastery. Founded by Paul and Donna Malone, this local gem was born out of a quest for coffee so good it needed nothing added, just the pure, vibrant flavors of carefully sourced beans. Roasted in small batches on a vintage Diedrich drum roaster at their North Austin Wells Branch Roastery & Café, Malone’s commitment to freshness and quality is unwavering. They roast “to order,” ensuring every bag and brew captures the peak flavor and aroma that specialty grade beans can offer. The coffee menu showcases meticulously selected origins with unique flavor notes, crafted through sample roasting to guarantee only exceptional beans make the cut.

Step inside any Malone location and you’re enveloped by an inviting, neighborhood vibe. Locals rave about house specialties like the “triple H” croissant—honey, havarti, and ham—and praise the consistently piping-hot drinks. Malone’s mission is simple: introduce Austin to coffee so delicious you’ll want it black. Their portfolio highlights a range of single origin coffees and thoughtful blends, with each roast emphasizing clarity, balance, and memorable taste experiences. Whether you’re grabbing a breakfast sandwich or seeking a pour-over that showcases the roaster’s craft, Malone Specialty Coffee delivers a unique soul and character that stands out in Austin’s thriving coffee scene.
