Cenote

My favourite spot in Austin for brunch, ended up staying here for a couple of hours and ordering more drinks and food. The burritos are great, staff are really friendly and engaging and the atmosphere is real nice. The front yard area is nice for a sunny morning as well. I decided to buy a Cenote shirt so I can rep it in Australia

Walking in you feel a little disconnected because it’s counter service when your order and the drinks are serviced to a pick up window and the food is delivered to your table. I guess they save on servers or servers tips maybe but seems a little broken as a warm way to be served. Breaks up the idea of sitting and taking in the atmosphere, reviewing the menu then ordering as standard goes. You walk in and are welcomed nevertheless then order and seat yourself. Drinks are called to the service window but then a suggestion of how to consume is a nice touch as the seasonal mimosas go. The food once delivered is actually well beyond expectations. Had a breakfast sandwich and a breakfast burrito. The chorizo was fantastic and the burrito served with a salsa. BEC had plenty of egg and a side of spicy mayo which is nice compared to normal offerings. Overall, a great experience but just an outside the normal ordering process as expected. Plenty of room inside and out. Even though it’s very hot in the summer for outside in my opinion. Worth a try if you want a solid value and delicious quick breakfast in Austin.

I love Cenote. I've been coming here for years, since 2018. Their jelly/jam tastes like happiness and love. However, the owners need to seriously consider getting new furniture and cleaning the place up a bit. This is one of the best cafes/coffee shops in the east side. Has parking, locations great, food is AMAZING (and it usually comes out pretty fast). Classic breakfast is the best thing on the menu. Breakfast sausage is amazing, eggs are always on point. Never too runny never too dry. But if you want to come there to work, have a meeting, or even eat and stay a while, you will be uncomfortable. Every piece of furniture in there is wobbly. Tables are small and hard to work on. You're five seconds from a spill. Yes, I understand the East Austin diner aesthetic. But, there's a difference between that look and the place just seeming unkept and neglected. I definitely recommend eating here for the food. It's amazing. Fresh, affordable, and healthy. I never feel bad after eating here. The ambiance needs a lot of work. As of right now, Cenote is somewhere I go to eat but immediately leave and go to Easy Tiger for coffee and to work. Please purchase new furniture!

This was a great spot. Just east of downtown Austin, it was a great place to stop for brunch. They have a daily special menu as well as a fantastic breakfast and lunch menu. They also have a coffee bar and make a horchata nitro brew, which was fantastic. They have an outside area and in door. The most outstanding item was that they have a free Narcan vending machine out in front. This shows that they are participating in combating the opioid epidemic that has plagued the USA. This is a great restaurant.

I absolutely LOVE cenote!! The staff is absolutely amazing!! Especially Jordan, I’m a regular and she always makes my coffee perfect, helps me with any questions when I’m trying to find something new and makes coming here so often an absolute joy. I work in the service industry and always appreciate a person who clearly enjoys their job. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending to my friends <3
