Food was absolutely delicious and their drinks are INSANE. I had their s'mores latte and tried the cookie butter and tiramisu latte. Definitely recommend getting these hot. I also had the ultimate migas platter 11/10. Service was good despite us going at peak wait times. We also really enjoyed the small town diner ambiance. Would definitely come again. read more

I love it here! It was a great early morning Sunday breakfast. I had the Java breakfast and it was wonderful. Billie Jo was our server and she was fantastic! Friendly, quick, and so helpful. And to top it off they are all decorated for the holidays and playing Christmas music. I loved it! Thank you Billie Jo and thank you Cafe Java!! read more

Amazing coffee! When I saw the page on Yelp, I thought it might be too 'sit down' for me to go in and grab a coffee, but I saw they had caramel macchiatos on the menu so I stopped on on. WOW! They are friendly, efficient, have great selection and prices..... plus the coffee is freaking fantastic. We're visiting, so I only got to try their Caramel Macchiato, Vanilla Latte and Caramel Con Panna... all were so good! A must try!! read more

Done with this place. Got takeout, food was not as described in their new menu. Called the restaurant to bring it to their attention. Dirk hung up on me and it went directly to voicemail from that point forward. I can't even call them now. Not removing this review. I've been coming here for 10 years. Done. Service and attitude was everything here, not anymore. read more

Absolutely horrible customer service. Hostess managing waitlist is at best an untrained dud. Totally clueless and the manager is equally terrible. This place needs to shut down. read more

Great atmosphere & friendly Austin vibe. Our waitress was super knowledgeable and made us feel right at home. I ordered the 2x2x2 and it was phenomenal-eggs tasted great, multigrain pancakes were delicious, and the bacon was crispy. My boyfriend ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and they had a good amount of chocolate chips on the inside. Cade Java was wonderful breakfast spot and it was a great representation of southern hospitality. read more

Okay....so WOW! I was skeptical about this place. Felt that the photos didn't look delicious enough. Oh how wrong I was! So happy we went. It was amazing! 100% kid friendly and the staff had no issues with substitutions or even bat an eye! The place is small and loud so kids don't have to be quiet. I'm surprised they don't have a Costco size restaurant because it would be packed! The food was crazy amazing and so much! My husband and I eat a lot but both of us had tons more f food left on our plate but were so full! I'd come back here hand over hand if I lived in Austin. read more

This place hits different. Good quality food thats affordable. Lots of choices. Overall a great experience.

We love this place- everything we have had has been delicious. The service is fantastic, even on the super busy weekends. Shout out to our saviour server (she brings the coffee that breathes life into our sleepy souls) Bricia. Pick a specialty coffee, an omelet of your choice (one fav is the western) and a pancake- you cant go wrong. read more

Billy Joe ,and Patrick was wonderful the whole cooking staff was amazing the food was great the service was top tiar !! This place is god given read more

This is a phenomenal place to grab a delicious meal. The service was great, the server was informative and friendly, and the food came out fast. We had to wait for a table but we were seated pretty promptly. We went on a Saturday afternoon for brunch. I had an iced cafe mocha and the Ultimate Migas. My mocha was rich and refreshing. The migas were hot and fresh and packed a punch. The jalapeños gave the migas quite a kick but the food was delicious. For sure one of the best places to grab brunch. I'm sure their other foods are also delicious. I'll be back. read more

Service is usually hit or miss here. Today was definitely a miss. Three misses to be exact. First, when I inquired about how much their mugs were, one of the servers just pointed out the $17 T-shirts as if they were the same item of equal price. At the very least, he could have asked someone to get us the price of the mugs. Simple enough, right? Second, I asked for Oat milk for my coffee and the same genius gave me regular creamer! Those of you who are lactose intolerant you know you'll have a bad day if you go with regular creamer. Third, as I was checking out, I felt the need to address the issue with the cashier and he simply chalked it up to be a "language barrier" issue instead of a training or management issue. Ahhh, the convenience of NOT taking responsibility and playing the blame game... Shifting the blame is so much easier, isn't it? The, "It's not my job" route. Well, just know that poor training and lazy/weak leadership will hurt your ability to provide solid customer service. So call it what you want -whether it's a language barrier issue, management, or simply hiring people who can understand basic English. Ensure your employees understand their jobs and have a basic understanding of product knowledge. Understanding some restaurant lingo in English would help too btw. read more

Awesome! I'll keep this one short. It was great all around. Awesome food, service, wish it was near my home. Chloe was our server and she was awesome.

Located just outside the Austin Doman in a quaint suburban neighborhood. Has a local friendly local feel. Great Java, great breakfast selection, and fresh, delicious food. I saw a picture of their eggs benedict on yelp, which is only available if it's part of the daily special. Our very accommodating waiter asked his manager, when on the menu would be comparable. She suggested huevos ranchers, except it would be salsa instead of benedict sauce. Lo and behold they brought it to me with benedict sauce on crusty bread and it was oh so marvelous! read more

A small diner on Metric with charm. Cafe Java has delicious food and loads of smiles, but when our bellys are full why wouldn't we be smiling. There are several different options on the menu of breakfast plates as well as lunch entrees. I chose to go with the classic called the Java Breakfast. I posted the pic below. My eggs were cooked as I ordered, over medium with just the right amount of yellow flowing. The bacon was crisp and very good. I had sour dough toast, although there was a few different options with this. It had butter already on the toast but I added some grape jelly. I'm sure you could get it dry if you asked. I got the standard diner drip coffee, however they do have several of the fancy coffees in both the hot and cold versions. The service was fast and very pleasant. Parking is shared among several businesses but ample. They even have art for sale hanging on the walls if you are interested. The establishment is a diner so not fancy. What it lacks in the fanciness it makes up in heart. I'm pretty sure you will enjoy your experience if you give it a try. The rest is up to you. read more

Thank you billie for the awesome service. Food is always on point and fresh, cozy atmosphere, and fast service.

Great food, atmosphere and service! Been going there for 15+ years..never disappointed. The staff gives attentive service and authentic hospitality. read more

The food was very delicious, and it was quite cheap for the quantity of food I received! There is a variety of choices to choose from, and at least from what my parents said, the coffee was smooth and delicious (I don't like coffee, so it still tasted bad to me). The food was a bit heavy for me, but I'm not used to eating out for breakfast or brunch. The server was also very polite and courteous, and the service was pretty quick despite a lot of customers. The interior was very cozy, and because the barista brewed the coffee near the entrance, I could smell the coffee immediately, which I enjoy. read more

Thank you Billie Jo for serving us. We always enjoy Sunday morning brunch at Cafe Java.

This is a local breakfast classic! There is always a line/waitlist but they know what they are doing and can get their hungry customers in and out with no issues. Just make sure you put your name on the list and they'll come out and call your name when your table is ready. I always start with their bottomless coffee and it's always a new kind which they'll tell you in case you're in a different coffee mood. Breakfast is my go-to option. Look at their daily specials or go for the tried and true options. You honestly can't go wrong. read more

I've become a bit of a regular here over the last few months, the food is fantastic, the service is fast, and the people are friendly. In particular, Billi-Jo and Bricia are awesome. (Everyone is great, I just seem to get these two most often when I come in). Highly recommend!! read more

When you've eaten at a place for many years some of the staff come and go and some seem to stick around. You get to know them pretty well....almost like Family. Bricia...(or Breezy as we like to call her) is one of those folks. When she isn't our server she's never too busy to stop by and say hello, share a few wonderful pictures of her family and sometimes just putting up with some of our good natured kidding. We left today with the words, "We already know you to be the best server in the business but today we will tell the world!" We've always been reluctant to share some positive feedback about a place that we like so much like a Cafe Java. That's because like the premise about the important rule about talking about Cafe Java is that no one talks about Cafe Java even though it is certainly no longer a secret about what a great owner operated small neighborhood restaurant with great food and tremendous service and with a really nice vibe it has become. Then again it is always been like that but its people like "Breezy" and a host of others that work there that keep it just like that. Well Done Cafe Java! read more

Cafe Java is a great neighborhood diner. It has been a while since I've been since I moved away. Kind staff, quick service and good breakfast. You first walk in for breakfast and there are herds of people trying to get a table in the tiny space. There menu has your standard diner fare, but I like breakfast the most. I ordered the hill country it's so much food for roughly $11. 2 eggs, 2 sausages, hash browns and bust hits and gravy...Their food is made fresh and it's solid breakfast. My friends got breakfast tacos. They are cheap and loaded with toppings. You can probably ask for a spare tortilla and make a separate tacos. Overall a nice homey spot in north Austin. read more

We just love Cafe Java! They have captured the old Austin vibe and it makes for a very enjoyable time. The servers all pitch in to create a welcoming atmosphere. Coffee refills are free and free-flowing. I usually get the Java Plate which is a great deal and includes tea or coffee! I don't know how they can be so lucky, but all the employees are smiling and ready to make you happy. There can be a wait on weekend mornings but it's well worth your time. read more

Such a warm and friendly atmosphere. Billie is such an attentive and kind person. She always takes care of us. Food is always amazing.

Walked in and snagged the last table; that's how you know it's good if there are no tables left. Was thinking about studying here, thank goodness we didn't because this is NOT a study cafe. I got the sourdough jalapeño jack burger and boyfriend got the chicken sandwich. No fries which was disappointing but the hash browns was pretty good. ITS A LOT of food especially for the price. A very homey and local feel, very nice people. read more

I love this place. You can't visit or live in Austin and not once go to cafe java. The staff are always so friendly and the food never misses. I usually go here for breakfast or brunch on the weekend, and I almost always get the eggs benedict with queso. I think it's called huevos benny? Not too sure; I usually describe it to a server and they know what I'm talking about lol. I don't think it's always on the menu... Anyway, love the food and vibes. There's usually a wait, typically not more than 30 mins. Parking lot has lots of spots. There's not much to explore around the plaza so if you have to wait, be prepared for that. read more

My husband and I have been coming here for years! It is our favorite go to breakfast spot in all of Austin. You get real hash browns! The service is always friendly and welcoming. They showcase local art for purchase. They fill up fast but have a quick turnaround so it's worth the wait. Alway, always order a Whole Lotta Love Latte. Make sure you get your stamp card if you come back, each coffee equals a stamp. They sell coffee beans and muffins at the counter. read more

One of the best breakfast places I've ever been to! It's got all the fresh food and delicious coffee. I tried California Omelette which was very good with soft omelette filled with avocado, veggies and cheese. Garden Burger has a really good patty, and especially for vegetarians that's a huge plus. The staff was super friendly; would listen to your order patiently and provide good suggestions. The ambiance is very cozy and has a lot of decorations. Cleanliness is well maintained. read more

This was the worst ordering experience I have ever had. Ordered breakfast via Uber eats. It was not clear that I had to place a coffee with the order in order to get it. So I just placed the order. Well. I got no coffee, tea or anything. The order placement menu, as I said was unclear. I fooled myself thinking it was fluke the first time I didn't get the coffee and even in the Uber notes asked the Uber driver not to forget the coffee. Well, she wasn't fluent in english and could not even show me the notes so I could show her what she missed on her app. :// Paul - Austin TX. read more
