    We were visiting Austin in December. The weather was very cold . We decided to stop in Sweetwster to get a hot drink. After a 15 min they rudely ask as to leave because they need to sweep the floor and close. Honestly, after 25 years leaving in America , it’s a first time happened to me. I do not recommend this place at all. Service was not welcoming at all.
