在美國德州旅遊時，據說「奧斯汀」以及「聖安東尼奧」這兩個城市是大部分觀光客都會前往的城市，雖然朋友住在聖安東尼奧，但他還是人很好的開車載我前往奧斯汀遊玩，他個人認為莫札特咖啡館( Mozart's Coffee )也是一個德州非常值得推薦的在地景點。
不得不說我和莫札特冥冥之中也太有緣分了，因為我平常最愛聽的就是莫札特的古典樂，他的音樂真的非常適合用來提振精神。雖然沒辦法朝聖莫札特在歐洲真正的家，但沒想到連美國德州也能遇到莫札特，看來著名的莫札特咖啡館，我是絕對不能錯過的。
莫札特咖啡館內部其實和熟悉的星巴客氣氛有點類似，倒是戶外平台非常不錯，提供不少椅子供客人入座，遠遠望去還能看到不少人士帶著自己的電腦坐在戶外工作，感覺能伴著美麗的湖邊風光工作也非常幸福，也有不少人帶著書本，直接靠著牆靜靜讀起書來，文青的氣氛下，讓我有種誤以為進入了歐洲電影拍排攝場景。
因為咖啡館就坐落在奧斯汀湖邊，所以我和朋友決定待在戶外，不過戶外區非常熱門，我們好運地搶到位子後，簡單點了咖啡和可頌，就開心地坐下來享受美味的咖啡和美景。
這家咖啡館的甜點其實非常有名，不過因為我們正餐還有其他行程，所以下午茶就沒多點其他甜點，但是對面湖面風光真的很令人賞心悦目，雖然天氣不是那麼晴朗，但只是靜靜看著湖水，似乎就能感受到寧靜的力量，讓我留下了深刻的印象。
It is said that when traveling in Texas, most tourists visit Austin and San Antonio. Although my friend lives in San Antonio, he was kind enough to drive me to Austin for a day trip. He personally recommended Mozart’s Coffee as a must-visit local spot in Texas.
I couldn’t help but feel a special connection with Mozart—after all, his classical music is my absolute favorite, and I often listen to it to boost my energy. While I may not have the chance to visit Mozart’s actual home in Europe, I never expected to come across Mozart’s Coffee in Texas! Given this surprising encounter, there was no way I could miss out on visiting this café.
The interior of Mozart’s Coffee has a familiar atmosphere, somewhat reminiscent of Starbucks. However, what truly sets it apart is its outdoor patio, which is simply fantastic. The café offers plenty of seating, and from a distance, I could see many people working on their laptops outside. It must be such a joy to work while being surrounded by the beautiful lakeside scenery. Others were quietly reading books, leaning against the walls, adding to the artistic and literary ambiance. The scene felt like something straight out of a European movie.
Since the café is located right by Lake Austin, my friend and I decided to sit outdoors. The outdoor area is quite popular, but luckily, we managed to grab a seat. We kept our order simple—just coffee and a croissant—before sitting back to enjoy both the delicious coffee and the breathtaking view.
Mozart’s Coffee is especially well known for its desserts, but since we had plans for a proper meal later, we decided not to indulge too much. Even so, the scenic lake view made the visit truly unforgettable. Though the weather wasn’t particularly sunny, just sitting there, quietly gazing at the water, filled me with a deep sense of peace. This place left a lasting impression on me, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Austin!
