Seasonal Pumpkin Chai Latté
Tre'von S.

Enjoying a 2nd day of breakfast with my mother visiting for my birthday week. The drink I got is very delicious for the Seasonal Pumpkin Chai Latte thats one thing I love about cafe Java is their on house made drinks whether seasonal or not. Service is always great! The restaurant establishment is clean and well lit for breakfast/brunch/lunch diners great ambiance overall and love the chalk board with the listed specials always. Can't wait to get my chicken fried chicken brunch meal once it comes out fresh and hot! Thanks Cafe Java

I can't believe I've waited so long to visit a Café Java! Please don't be like me--next time you see one, stop in! First, the service. Everyone was very friendly and very genuine. No one was playing the phony "beg for your tip" game. I enjoyed each interaction I had with them. When my food was given to a customer sitting next to me at the counter in error (his order was the same), they were very apologetic and a fresh order came out very quickly. That leads to my meal. Breakfast! Breakfast is served all day, and the variety of offerings is wide. I had to get a pancake. It was so fluffy! Absolutely perfect! The bacon was cooked just right as well. My scrambled eggs, however, were a disappointment. I expected some nice fluffy eggs, but I got what seemed to be a pancake of egg folded up on itself. No thank you. My Diet Coke was served in a can with a glass of ice without a straw. I'm not sure why no straw, but it's either awareness of the environment or was an oversight. I'm going with the environment! I don't know what the refill situation is since drinks come in cans. When I arrived, the place was packed. If you find this situation, look for the counter. You'll most likely find a seat there. I know I did, and it was the best place to be.

Darn tasty. Ivan was a great server. We would love to see this place open at happy hour since you have such great drinks! Comfy cafe.

My wife and I ended up going here because were looking for something nearby because we were extremely hungry one weekend and we didn't really care where we went. Now after hearing this you'd probably think that we just got whatever service and the food was average, but no that's not what happened at all. The service was good, the drink options were plentiful and tasty as well (I got a chai latte and my wife got a london fog), and there was a ton of food options available for omnivores and vegetarians alike. I know we would like to come back soon.

Ultimate migas

Went for breakfast with a friend with our two toddlers on a Sunday morning around 8:30. They do not have high chairs; however, they do have booster chairs that you can put in the booth. They do have a good selection of kids' menu, which is appreciated. I ordered the Ultimate Migos breakfast. I would say it's an OK breakfast to have. The beans were very watery, the jalapeños and vegetables are chopped pretty big, and there were barely any tortilla chips in there. I also ordered the 16-ounce cappuccino, and the foam on top was a lot compared to the coffee, so I had to get a lot of foam before I could get to the coffee part of it. it's an OK breakfast spot to stop by. It's very Tex-Mex. I wouldn't say it's one of the best places, but it's okay. Our server was nice and attentive.

Tuna melt and tomato basil soup

First time at this location. We were very excited to see this location open up closer to where we live. Good food and good service. This location is smaller than the other ones but they do a great job utilizing the space. For people that haven't been here before Cafe Java is a good diner style restaurant with some tex mex flair. Breakfast available all day and a lengthy menu that for sure will have something for your entire party.

Huevos Rancheros was great.
Lora D.

Food * Service * Ambiance were all great! Daily brew is always fresh and hot. Ranchero sauce for Huevos Rancheros very good. Biscuits & Gravy very good. Bacon is very good. Staff is friendly. Restaurant is spotless.

This is upleveled with healthier and tastier classic diner dishes. We sat outside on a nice rare cooler Austin morning and the staff still made sure to check on us consistently. We never felt that sitting outside kept us away or out of site. Will definitely go again! One callout is that they don't list all the ingredients that normally would be listed so maybe just triple check if you're allergic to anything. We had someone allergic to mushrooms and one of the gravy's had mushrooms in it which wasn't listed

The chicken was cooked to perfection but that was the only thing we truly enjoyed. The biscuit was seemingly made in a sheet and cut. Even when we ordered a side it was split in half, so you never really got that satisfying bite of biscuit with the flaky top. Everything we had (the badass bacon and eggs, brisket breakfast sandwich, chicken sandwich, chicken and biscuit sandwich, and biscuits and gravy) were okay but not super. I was disappointed in the gravy which was just a little odd. The side of red potatoes was interesting but not our favorite. No hate to the place, just not at all what I was expecting. The service and /decor were great. The food was just not to our taste.

June's is one of those places I find myself coming back to at least twice a month, and for good…read morereason. Their burger is easily one of the best I've had in Austin, especially paired with their thin, crispy fries. It's my go-to order almost every time. One thing I love is that they switch up the steak portion of the menu a few times a year, and it never disappoints. Right now they have the steak au poivre, which is incredible, although I'm still craving their steak frites and hoping it makes a comeback. The escargot and French onion soup are also favorites of mine. At this point, June's has become a staple in our house--usually with a couple of Diet Cokes and either the burger or whatever steak they're featuring. A few of my friends swear by the chicken sandwich (fair warning: it can get a little messy!), the half roasted chicken, and the tuna crudo, so you really can't go wrong no matter what you order. On top of the amazing food, the staff is always incredibly kind and welcoming, which keeps us coming back. I definitely recommend making a reservation since it tends to get pretty busy, especially during peak hours.

Full transparency--I have never dined here before the hours of 2:00am. While my experiences might…read morebe different from those who've dined here for brunch or another daytime meal, I must say with full force that there is nothing quite like going out with your friends on a Friday, knowing that Magnolia Cafe is waiting for you with open arms at the end of the night. First, the service. It's quick. The people are incredibly friendly. And even with a bigger group of people, they were accommodating on how we wanted to split the bill. Thank you! Next, the food. Get the Spinach and Artichoke Dip! Please. I beg you. The bread it comes with is absolute gas. I could chow down on it forever. The dip itself is super creamy and rich with lots of big pieces of artichoke. Perfect for sharing. After trying out a few different entrees, I think my favorite would have to be their Chicken Enchiladas. It heats up real well as leftovers too. I'm also a big fan of their Mag-Mocha Coffee. It's like a hot chocolate with coffee, and I can't wait till it's a little cooler to start ordering it again. Their other food is pretty much standard diner food. As glowing as this review is, it's honestly not like a "This is the best brunch spot! Austin Top 25 Places to Go" type food. But the sentimental value of this place makes up for it. My only complaint: Their AC stays pumping. Bring a jacket. It's incredibly cold. Also, this place is open 24 hours! You can't beat that!

I really wanted to love this place, especially since it's considered an Austin staple, but…read moreunfortunately, my experience was pretty mixed. My biggest issue started before I even got seated. There is a QR code that you're required to use to join the waitlist/queue, but this is not clearly communicated on their website. You essentially have to arrive at the restaurant and figure it out once you're there. For a restaurant that is known for having long waits and high traffic, I feel like this information should be clearly stated online so people can plan accordingly. Once I joined the queue, I was number 43 and ended up waiting about an hour and a half before being seated. I understand that popular restaurants can have long wait times, but the lack of transparency about how the process works made the experience more frustrating than it needed to be. Once inside, the ambiance was actually quite quaint and charming. That said, considering how much traffic this restaurant gets, I was surprised by how limited the space is. I honestly think expanding the property would make a huge difference, although I understand that may not be entirely within their control. One thing I will give them major credit for is the menu. Online, the selection makes it look somewhat limited, but once you're there, they actually have 50+ food options, so there is plenty to choose from. That was definitely a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, my entrée was disappointing. I ordered a shredded beef taco with salsa and substituted a side salad. The beef was extremely tender, but unfortunately, it was also very dry. The salad was another disappointment because the vinaigrette was honestly not good. I don't think I've ever had a vinaigrette that I actively disliked until this meal. Thankfully, my fiancé had a much better experience. He ordered an enchilada and said it was one of the top five enchiladas he's ever had, so clearly there are some standout dishes on the menu. That definitely made me curious about trying something different if I ever return. I also really enjoyed that they offer hibiscus tea. I was very happy to see it on the menu, although I personally think it would be better served on its own rather than incorporated into one of their mixed drinks. The drink itself was just okay, but the hibiscus flavor was great. Overall, I can see why this place has become an Austin staple, but I think the experience could be improved significantly by making the waitlist process much clearer online and by improving the consistency of some of the food. The menu has a lot of potential, and clearly, some dishes are excellent! Unfortunately, mine just wasn't one of them.

This was not your typical bear claw as it was not eye-squinting sweet but bursting with almond flavoring primarily in the center. It was almost like a crescendo in a symphony when you got to the center of the bear claw. My latte was flavorful in a subtle way with the sesame vanilla permeating throughout the latte. It is important to note that they make their own pastries and tacos each day. The pastries are a bit pricey costing more than my latte. The coffee shop has floor to ceiling windows on two sides with one of the windows opening into a courtyard with additional seating. The beautifully titled coffee bar immediately grabs your attention. In addition, service was quick and efficient. I was in and out the coffee shop within 10 minutes. I parked right in front of the coffee shop as it was early before the meters started to tick.
