The vanilla latte with half and half a rich creamy dreamy delight. I am always a basic Betty at times with coffee just to be able to compare various coffee shops and this bean is beanin'. Good cup of coffee and nice inside place to sit and catch up on work or reading. read more

Stopped in cause of the reviews. Monday morning around 10:30 am. Seemed like a cool, chill spot. A good amount of people sitting around doing work. Took about 10-15 minutes just for the smoothie to come out. Seemed like a slow day that even the gentleman we were waiting next to made a comment as he noticed we'd been sitting their for a while and didn't get anything yet. My gf had the breakfast burrito but said it was a bit bland so she went home and ate it with her pickled jalepenos. Also small in size for the price $7.99 Spinach quich has a nice crust and good flavor. Thick with just the right amount of bite. $5.49 The Super Verde smoothie was okay. Don't really taste much pineapple, but it has a nice consistency from the avocado and banana. $9.99 for large. Meh Carrot cake will be eaten later today $4.99 Total was right above $30 for 4 small items read more

Wasn't horrible but very expensive for the quantity/quality in my opinion. Ordered a flat white and a sandwich (around $6 + $13, $20 total). The coffee was tiny... finished it in around 5 minutes. Sandwich was mid at best. I was excited given the rave reviews, but I unfortunately disagree. I'd recommend a different local coffee shop for better portions, quality, and prices. Sucks because I live next door!!! read more

My favorite spot to go to if I'm in the area. They offer unusual drinks and foods. One popular item I just got told is the London fog scone. There was only one left and someone beat me to eat. Now a reason to come back another time. A summer special is Iced Orange Dream Tea. Absolutely delicious. It seems to be a popular place to meet or work from the coffee shop. Casual seating with a lounge area. My server Abby was very nice and helpful selecting my bite to eat. read more

Great place for not only delicious coffees and teas etc, but the sandwiches and hot snacks are delicious!! We tried a sandwich, empanadas, quiches and a sweet treat! Everything was great. And there's plenty of seating inside, for chatting or working. We love coming here. read more

Monkey Nest Coffee - Counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

My dentist is just down the street and I had been wanting to stop in for the longest time and finally had the opportunity to do so. I was not disappointed at all. You know the place is good when there's a line, amiright? With that said, the line moved efficiently when I was there. The pastries they offer are crazy-good. I love a properly made scone and they nailed it! The coffee is also super good. The Wildflower Lavender Latte was probably one of the best I have ever had. The shop itself has a warm and welcoming decor and vibe. It will now be my mission to treat myself here each and every time I leave the dentist. Because, come on, we all deserve something good after a dental visit. read more

A mainstay of the Allandale neighborhood for organic locally roasted coffee, co-working, and live music since 2012. It's dim & moody but comfortable and cozy for students and locals alike. Loving the Horchata Latte or whatever suits my fancy on monkey mind kinda day. read more

There was a random coffee shop in North Austin far away from the rest of our tourist things that has the most exquisite liquid blended espresso chocolate or vanilla shake. This thing is blended for so long, it is a perfect liquid with zero ice pieces that you can drink with a tiny straw. Packed with bold espresso and thick chocolate ice cream, it is the best drink for a drive back to Houston. No one blends like this. Why don't we have this in Houston :( alas. read more

Monkey Nest is unpretentious, low-key, and friendly and they serve a choice of regular and dark roast brews. What I love about them is that they have electrical outlets so I can plug in my laptop and get some writing done there. It's my "third place," not my home or workplace, but a neighborhood coffee shop where I can greet the staff, see people, get a good breakfast taco or pastry plus a hot or cold brew--they have teas too--and sit and chill for a while. That's worth something! read more

Cute coffeeshop on Burnett! The mocha was perfectly sweet and the matcha latte had a good flavor profile. Definitely a great neighborhood coffeeshop to frequent with ample seating and outlets to work as well. read more

Darn fine coffee. Reasonable price. But service was lacking. Walked in, employee facing me but on their phone, didn't look up, no "hello". Other employee distracted. Stood at counter waiting to be noticed. I get there's a lot of news right now, phones are addicting, but it blows living in a world where you're made to feel like you're interrupting someone to get a smidge of service. read more

Monkey's Nest has the best pastries- churro and lavender scones that are SO delicious- as are the carrot cake and the empandas- all made by the owner from scratch! The coffees and teas also are just delicious. Ambience too is chill and welcoming! Highly recommend! read more

Monkey Nest hits every single time. I've been coming here for a couple of months and have never been disappointed. Their seasonal and rotating drinks are perfect and their ingredients are perfect.

Great spot with a comfortable atmosphere and friendly service. The coffee was fresh, the place had a nice vibe, and it felt like a good place to relax or get some work done. I'd definitely come back again. read more

They don't monkey around here. The coffee is excellent. There are stuffed monkeys everywhere and lots of monkey puns on the coffee menu. I'm not sure why they love monkeys so much but, honestly, who doesn't love monkeys? If the coffee is great, I'm good with it. We loved our drinks and we also got a breakfast taco that was very good. They've got cookies and other pastries and everything looked really good. No outside seating but plenty of indoor seating. The environment is inviting and funky. Who knew Austin had such great coffee? read more

This place is kind of quirky and I'm down with it. A few of us came down to grab drinks and do work, and it's a nice, chill spot for that, although some of the tables are in front of the order lines. The staff were friendly, and I enjoyed my drink which was an LGBTQ special that day. read more

Cute coffee shop with (not real) monkeys! They have a drink line and a food line. You can order from a tablet there and they'll call your name. I thought the empanada was really small but it actually filled me up for breakfast. Also got Monkey's Uncle. You can order drinks iced or hot. Ordered lunch to-go and really just wanted sandwiches but they l came as meals (with chips and a drink). I don't normally eat chips but the chips are actually super delicious! The bacon apple grilled cheese is really tasty. Wi-Fi works really well and there are outlets, so it's a great spot to get some work done. Quite a few parking stalls outside. read more

Not sure how this place got so many good reviews. As you can see in my picture that they barely put any espresso in their drinks and the customer service was awful! The guy that took our order was extremely cold and more interested in talking to his coworkers than taking our order. Will never come back! read more

It was.. fine? I remember this spot being a go to in college with decently priced coffee/food but alas it hasn't lived up to what I remembered. The monkey muffin was a fun take on monkey bread with a muffin bottom. The lavender latte had to much syrup for my preference that I had to let the ice water it down before I deemed it drinkable. If I'm in the area, maybe I'll go again, but I won't go out of my way! read more

Nice coffee shop with old-school vibe. I love that they have a different organic coffee on rotation each day. Baristas were super friendly. Good spot to cowork, with plenty of outlets and fast internet. The AC is strong so bring a sweater. It's also on a busy road, so not ideal if you like to take breaks outside. read more

Monkey Nest Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

Monkey Nest coffee is a nice little coffee shop. They stand out in their specialty drinks. Names like Monkey's Uncle, Spicy Monkey Mocha, or Nutty Irishman really got my attention. That Spicy Monkey Mocha was soooo good. I don't know what the ratios of coffee, chocolate, and syrup were, but it border lined on magical. I'm definitely going to come back and try something else. Staff didn't mind me hemming and hawing as I tried to narrow down my order. It's well maintained, with medium lighting to give off the "relaxed coffee shop were you can definitely get a lot of work done" vibe. Chairs are comfy and the restrooms were clean. I came here with one other person on a Thursday and it never got too crowded or too empty the couple hours we hung out. read more

Good coffee, welcoming staff, and a nice space to sit and enjoy. However, we came at a busy time on a Saturday morning, so it was quite busy and loud, and the service took longer than expected. I ordered a topo chico bottle of sparkling water and small coffee and it was $3.50 each, which is unfortunately about standard nowadays. Nonetheless, I would recommend a visit! read more

Service was lovely and quick. The ambiance was very relaxing--not too loud or quiet, easy to feel immersed in the space even on your own. Me and my partner are going around Austin to try new spots and this one is our favorite! Perfectly made drinks and tasty roast. We will definitely become regulars. Thank you Monkey Nest! read more

Monkey Nest Coffee - Latte, Peppermint Mocha, breakfast taco - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

I love to support local and this place makes it easy! Monkey Nest is comfy and good for everything from a business networking meeting to an online date. It even makes the epically terrible ones minimally less crappy because you're drinking good coffee in a charming cafe. The inside feels less corporate than a "char-bucks" and it's easy to hang out there for long periods - no loud blenders. They have an unusual variety of coffee drinks and the baristas are friendly & quick. I've had lots of traditional latte type things there in the past, but recently tried their matcha latte and highly recommend!! Rather than using some gross sugary matcha syrup like the chains do, they used actual matcha powder and it was unsweetened, which is soooo much better. Plus, my barista managed a smiley face with her latte art. Brilliant! read more

Driven past this place countless times & finally stopped in. Matcha is a 10/10 & their cinnamon crumble muffin reminded me of coffee cake! So delicious! Inside was so cute with lots of different monkey gear. The baristas were friendly & helpful & we had our items within a few minutes. It's a very comfortable environment inside & way bigger than it looks from outside. read more

Decent ambiance with a fun idea for a business. The coffee and bakery items were good, but not the best we've had in Austin.

I love Monkey Nest coffee! Their menu is so creative and everything is tasty! There is only one location on Burnet and I like that it's not a chain. Their drinks are on the sweet side I will say, but you still get that coffee flavor. It's good for me personally as a pick me up treat in the afternoon. The young lady at the front was very kind and patient while she explained the menu and I tried the Chocolate Chimp Coffee. She recommended coconut milk with it and omg was it good. If you like chocolate and coconut then you will love this drink. It tastes just like a bounty candy bar. I didn't try their food/pastries but it did look yummy. I saw empanadas, quiches and sandwiches mainly. Needless to say, I will be back to try more on the menu! read more

Was in the area after running some errands and decided to give this place a try! When I pulled in I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of parking available - always a win! I also appreciated that they have the menu posted outside and over curbside and mobile take out orders. I was really excited to see a Spicy Mocha option on the menu as I have been on a quest for a good one in the area since falling in love with this flavor during travels for work. I ordered the Spicy Monkey Mocha - flavored with chocolate, cinnamon and Cayenne (12oz iced - $4.99). While it doesn't top my current all-time favorites (from Alabama and New Mexico) it is most definitely the best one I have had in Texas. The drink is well balanced with no one flavor over powering the coffee but each still remains distinctly present in the drink. The shop offers a wide variety of organic drinks, sandwiches and pastries. There is an abundance of seating for working or socializing. The noise levels are pretty low with some mild music playing in the background. Overall a great choice to meet up with friends or get some work done. read more

Lots of great house coffee specials and snacks (many with a Greek flair) to boot. I've never seen a coffee shop with to-go dolmas until today. Place was busy but they were well-staffed and keeping things moving. My coffee was good as well as the quiche I ordered. Place has lots of extra seating in the back rooms if you need a quieter section to do work. read more

Service at 12:30pm was way, way too slow due to only one young person literally doing everything!!

This Chef Will most definitely return... ordered vegan empanadas for later and they look and smell promising. read more
