This is a great place to hang out and study. There's wifi and indoor/outdoor seating. Parking is a hassle you have to park near the church on a gravel lot and there's not that much parking on the day to day. The inside ambiance is very dark and moody and gives off true austin vibes. I got the hot honey chicken sandwich and it was just okay. The breading is panko which is supposed to feel lighter than the typical dredge batter but it just left me wanting something a bit more. read more

This place is awesome. Has an authentic East Austin vibe, both inside and outside on their patio. Plenty of seating with & without shade. The Bánh Mì was money. Not sure who makes their bread, but it had a nice crunch. Could use a little less sauce though. read more

Great brunch spot in East Austin. Visited for the first time on a sunny Saturday morning, and there was plenty of seating outside on the patio/backyard area (also plenty of shady seats if that's more your style). Although there was a bit of a line (~10 min. wait to place an order from the line to the street), the staff moves rather quickly (thank you)! I had the chilaquiles (~$12, which seems to only be on the weekend menu) and a house roast coffee (~$3), and I'd definitely get them both again. They've got an extensive menu, so plenty of other options to try as well. Will definitely be back. As with most of the spots in East Austin, make sure you look around for street parking within the surrounding blocks because you're unlikely to find something right outside. read more

TL:DR - Incredible breakfast place, huge portions, gets busy! Came here with some friends for breakfast and was completely blown away. It's your typical American - Mexican fusion breakfast place that serves up breakfast burritos, yogurt parfaits, and coffee. HOWEVER, I did not expect them to be so generous with their portion sizes! I ordered the Grande Grilled Breakfast Burrito and bacon empanada. The burrito was packed with bacon, eggs, cheese, and potatos and I could barely wrap my hands around it. They grilled it to perfection, giving it a nice crispy texture when I bit into it. I'm not even a breakfast burrito lover, but this one has got me feeling something. Typically empanadas are a little bit bigger than a slice of an orange. And that's what I expected when I ordered it. Wrong move! The empanada that came out was half the size of a plate. I basically got a whole other meal! The flavor though and the flaky crust were just *Chefs kiss* I stuffed myself silly with the burrito and empanada and left 10lbs heavier. Overall, Cenote is a great place to get some delicious food. There is nice patio seating outside and the area itself is pretty quiet. read more

Thanks to the Yelp collection I saw highlighting the best burgers in town! I picked up a smoker burger and side of Brussels for National Burger Day. It didn't disappoint! The burger was cooked just right and the smoked Gouda, bacon, and bbq sauce is a delicious and savory combo. The Brussels also have bacon and fresh parm mixed in. The side of fries is generous and I had enough for another meal. The smoker burger is $12 with fries and totally worth it! read more

ugh. yes. Everything about this bagel was gorgeous. I got the cheddar jalapeño bagel and it came with cream cheese, onion, tomato, capers, and lox. I have mixed feelings about tomatoes- sometimes I like them and sometimes I don't but today, I love them. They went so well in this bagel. Stupid good. Super filling. ‍ read more

Delicious coffee and breakfast tacos! We stayed in the neighborhood and came here every morning. The migas taco was a favorite in our group. I discovered the yogurt parfait and - even though I'm not a yogurt and granola sort of person- I fell in love. They have a happy hour right before they close at 4 pm. We had a couple beers and snacks there one afternoon- sitting on the patio, it was a great intro to Austin. The Brussels sprouts and hummus plates were delicious. read more

We absolutely loved Cenote. The staff is incredibly friendly, the food was divine, there's multiple parking areas, and there's multiple places to sit either inside or outside on the adorable patio. Per recommendation, I ordered the Chilaquiles, and they were probably the best Chilaquiles I've ever had. The chips still had crispiness to them, the eggs were fried perfectly, the sauce was delicious, and it was topped with fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and sour cream. My boyfriend got the eggs Benedict, which he gets everywhere, and they get A minus because one of the eggs was over cooked, but otherwise was a very delicious meal. I also got the golden milk, because they actually make it in house. It was delicious and beautifully presented. I also ended up buying a pin from a local store that they support, because they were too dang cute. We could've spent all day here, I'm so happy that we decided to stop in. read more

Amazing coffee shop in East Austin, the service and food never disappoints. I've had their eggs Benedict and breakfast burrito on two different trips. Such a nice and relatively inexpensive breakfast to start the day. The macchiato I ordered last time was perfect and this past summer I enjoyed my cold brew. I love the vibe inside the old Victorian house and it's even nicer to sit outside in their garden / yard area while basking in the winter sun. I always look forward to going to Cenote when I'm in Austin. read more

First time trying Cenote for Sunday brunch. Pretty crowded but the wait was worth it. You order first and then they seat you. Outside, they allow dogs. Ordered the vegetarian breakfast burrito and it was quite filling. My partner ordered the eggs Benedict and it did not disappoint with the chipotle hollandaise and the bacon instead of ham. Potatoes had great flavor and seasoning. Would definitely come back! read more

My NEW FAVORITE iced latte in town. Decaf is the only way for me, so if this one's good, you know they're rocking it. Far above-average Bogey mixed me up a vanilla mocha version with almond milk, and I'm hooked. It's chuggable like chocolate milk, satisfying like a milkshake. If you're hungry, gluten-free pastries coming in from local Zucchini Kill, although I'll be circling around for Huevos Rancheros or the Cenote Scramble. read more

Saturday morning before ACL, we needed fuel. Busy morning but the line moved fine. This is an order up front and take your number to your table. Beverages you wait for at the counter. We sat outside at a picnic table- the space is peaceful. The food came quickly and was pretty good- we tried the Migas and a potato egg and cheese taco. Uniquely, the taco had potato wedges in it. The disappointment came with the espresso drinks- we ordered two PSLs and asked for one to be extra hot. Both are like warm and the pumpkin spice was gritty textured and not well-mixed. Two wasted lattes on the morning after ACL day one? Tragic. read more

A house converted into a restaurant that has cozy college vibes, even though its not by the campus. They have a delicious veggie sandwich! Fresh veggies and a ciabatta bread that had a great texture and flavor. The mango fields salad was OK, with the mangos and mixed greens having a limp texture, while the strawberries, avocados, and carrots were the workhorse. If you're in the area and you want a sandwich, then this is a good spot. read more

Had lunch with a friend last week. Happy to see that they are open & have AMAZINGLY FRESH &YUMMY ingredients! We each ordered the salad & 1/2 sandwich combo. Both were tasty & almost too pretty to eat.... ALMOST! ;) Parking can be an issue and with limited seating it can be wait, but if you have the time, it's WORTH IT! read more

I absolutely LOVE cenote I frequent this place almost weekly! I eat a gluten-free diet and they not only have a GF bread option but GF buns as well, and corn tortillas. The menu has a wide variety and tons of breakfast and lunch options. sometimes the line is long during peak times (ie. lunch time on a Sunday) but service is always very fast. My only negative- I do not recommend the matcha, I'm a big matcha drinker and this is unfortunately some of the worst I've had in Austin read more

We came here for brunch and I sort of wished we'd had breakfast at the IHOP around the corner. The place is cute. Small inside with small tables like a coffee shop and loads of cute picnic tables outside in the front and side like a little grotto. You stand in line to order and they bring the food out to you. Seems straightforward enough although don't forget to get your drinks (including coffee at the bar. They don't bring that out to your table. The food was okay. I had the chilaques which was fine. Nothing to write home about but also something I won't spend $10 on again. Date had the pancakes which were good. The scones actually are awesome. But the biggest issue is the flies. They are everywhere. They have signs asking people to bus their tables to keep bugs away but it was super gross to be waiving off 5 flies at a time just to try to each my lunch. Rather unappetizing and made is difficult to enjoy. They also have fans outside but it's still billionty degrees with the humidity. read more

Such a busy day running around the city, but we made it over to Cenote for a quick lunch. It was quite busy, but luckily we were able to snag a table inside. We ordered the Turkey Avocado sandwich. It sucks that you had to pay extra for fries or chips. Food came out quick and the sandwich was delicious. What I loved most about the sandwich was the multigrain bread it came on (It was so soft!) and how fresh the ingredients tasted. I had to take off a star for how dirty the bathroom was though. Toilet paper on the floor and barely any soap. I let an employee know but who knows if they cleaned up or replenished the soap right away. read more

Solid Austin Local Spot Definitely stop by if you're visiting. A great brunch spot, the line is the only thing that is a bit of a pain. The sandwich salad combo is the best of both worlds.

Top notch local eatery with delicious food, friendly staff, and an atmosphere embracing those days when "Keep Austin Weird" was the city's mantra and people meant it when they said it. Located within walking distance of downtown, I've never had anything at Cenote that wasn't even better than I'd hoped when unordered it. Breakfast and lunch are the focus, but whatever you order you'll love it. read more

Loved everything about Cenote - the food, the coffee, the people, the various places to sit. I had the vegan taco, and the black beans were tasty, not bland or salty. Felt familiar, like cafes of old Austin. read more

I loved this place. For reals. I had a late after dinner coffee/tea date with my friend one night, we returned the following morning for breakfast, and came back the next day for tea and coffee again. So I was in Austin for a total of 3 nights and 4 days and came three times... that should tell you something! Parking is street. Inside is mismatched antique tables and they have some cool tree/forest murals on the walls - but it's a charming hometown coffee shop vibe with some good menu items and a small bakery attached on the side (which my friend said used to be a juice stand) that sells some seriously good scones - like NOMS. What didn't I try.... I had their avocado toast which comes with a heaping serving of bean sprouts and if you want an egg you have to ask for it - it doesn't come with it. I also had a cup of their oatmeal which was perfectly cooked and covered with fresh blueberries, strawberries and raisins with honey and some brown sugar. I also had their yogurt parfait which was done really well (see photo) as they layered the yogurt and granola - which is a solid move. It was also topped with banana, blueberry, strawberry and honey. Delicious. I had a latte, mint tea, and cold brew iced coffee with the oat milk (yum). I'd never had oat milk but I'm a fan! Their cold brew is really good quality. Fast service on the drinks and food, friendly staff, clean bathrooms, and a nice vibe. A+++. read more

WARNING, ordering two tacos means you only get one tortilla!!! i've never in my life had to eat tacos with a fork and knife. and apparently here that's the expectation unless you pay extra for more tortillas. when you order. two tacos. i'm kinda shocked, never in my years living in san antonio, austin, or dallas have i had to ask for two tortillas when ordering two tacos. boyfriend ordered the vegan option for their breakfast burrito and specified no cheese and it still arrived with cheese. we sent it back and they didn't give us any more of the hash browns we paid for (took the plate to them inside, we had maybe two of the hash). food was desperately under seasoned. chai latte was good, house blend coffee underwhelming. can't say i'll come back next time i come back to town. read more

Nice cute coffee shop on the outside, more of a bar vibe on the inside! This place has fast wifi so it makes a really good study spot. I came here with some of my friends to work and it was a really productive environment. Although the lights are dim inside, so if you are trying to read a book this might not be the place for you. The cold brew coffee is very strong, will definitely keep you awake. read more

It's pretty easy to find, there is street parking and a church lot with extra parking a block away. You get in line and order at the cash register and take your number and get seated where they will bring you your food. I was on a crunch on time, and my food came out really quickly in less than 10 minutes when there was a long line as well. The staff was very sweet and attentive! Cute cabin vibes inside. There's also extra seating outside in the back patio. The chicken chicken tortilla soup was super flavorful, the breakfast burrito was huge and I got it with the sausage which was really good, then my friend had the classic breakfast and it was really good as well!! The portions are very big! read more

I came here for lunch, but I realized that it was another hippy dippy cafe at east Austin. The food was bland, and the portions were small of the price I had to pay. The bread pudding was tasteless. When I order dessert, I expect it to taste sweet. Yes, even when it's made of bread. But even the random ice cream they put in the bread pudding bowl was sweeter than the main course it was meant to complement. The bowl of bread pudding was small too. If the bread pudding was actually good, I could have finished that on my own. But alas, a large company like Nordstrom sells better bread pudding than a local cafe here in Austin. Disappointing. The burritos were huge, but it was mostly burrito skin as opposed to filling. So every time I put that burrito in my mouth, all I tasted was baked flour. The workers here are friendly, but this cafe is basically entirely self-serving. The only time the workers help is when you take orders at the front counter. read more

First visit. Won't be my last. Food was delicious. Service was excellent. They are moving to a new location

This was a cute little find off the beaten path. I visited for Brunch. The line outside was only about a 15-20 minute wait which moved fairly quickly. You order your food at the counter and take a number and they will bring it out to you. I ordered the Grilled Burrito with Chorizo and added avocado. And omg y'all. I think this was the best dang breakfast burrito I've ever had!! No joke I'm still blown away but the flavor explosion and how tasty this was. I also ordered a Hot Latte with Chocolate Syrup and Almond milk. Ugh!!!!! So!! Good!!! I wish I could pack this little place up and take it home with me. My only complaint (reason for 4 starts instead of 5) was that while we were eating a homeless man wandered in and was eating the food off of people's plates that were left behind/before they got cleared. The birds were also picking at food from people's leftover plates but I think I'd rather have to deal with the birds instead of homeless people because they also approach you while trying to eat. It would be nice if the restaurant was able to monitor this a little more closely and close off the outdoor seating to the public. read more

Two-for-one burger nights on Thursdays is prob the best deal for the value in town right now. The burgers are not skimpy AND they come with a heaping of fries (regular or sweet potato). As in, don't charge you extra for them, as in, how every burger joint should be! But, the most important thing is that the burgers are exquisite. Juicy and flavorful patty enhanced by the toppings vs being consumed by them. The green hatch chile special for August was especially fire! And the sweet and savory one didn't let the sweet overpower the savory. Available 4-8pm, dine in (all the safety protocols in place) or takeout. I think it was also happy hour, too, so in addition to a sexy meal, we also got discounted draft beer! read more
