The 12 Male Archetypes: Finding Your Energy at Our Austin Coffee & Smoothie Shop

The 12 Male Archetypes

Austin is a city that thrives on individuality. From live music and murals to early-morning workouts and late-night conversations, this city is full of people showing up as their most authentic selves. At our coffee and smoothie shop in Austin, Texas, we see it every day—different energies, different moods, different stories walking through our doors.

That’s what inspired this reflection on the 12 male archetypes. These archetypes aren’t about gender as much as they are about human energy and mindset. We all carry aspects of them, and sometimes all it takes is a great cup of coffee or a nourishing smoothie to help you tap into the one you need most.

So grab your favorite drink and explore which archetype resonates with you today.
