    Store front w a reflection of latte
    Rose L.

    Love love love love love love love love!! Homemade syrups, teas, coffee and one of the coziest places! Very small shop with local artwork on walls. Naaman makes your drink to order, so nothing fast food about this shop. He helped direct me to find the perfect cup of joe. Super friendly, hip, trendy, relaxed vibe.

    Very friendly and great coffee. Enjoyed he could tell me the specific beans & flavors. Huge fan of the nopalitos, black bean and egg taco. Quaint little spot. Has several tables & chairs + coffee bar seating.

    One of my top three fave coffee shops in Austin. It may not be huge and can get pretty busy at times but has a huge selection and the coffee/service are both top notch. Honorable mention goes to their cold brew.

    Stumbled across Corona Coffee shop while traveling through the greater Austin area for work. This is a cute and laid back spot where you can get a great cup of coffee, espresso or tea as well as getting a bite to eat. They offer a nice variety of breakfast taco's, sandwiches, salads, as well as pastries and baked goods. I ordered the Americano and it was spot on for taste and served with a smile. Great experience from start to finish!

    Let me tell you what this place is not: 1. It's not your mama's coffeehouse. 2. It's not Breakfast at Tiffany's. 3. If this is your hood, it could very well be the best part of waking up, without Folgers in your cup. Second, you need to know the family that runs this place keeps it open from 7am to 3pm, Monday through Friday. And that's it. This is somewhat unique because: A) They like spending their time doing family stuff together, rather than increasing business revenue. B) It's a happy family. You'll know it when you chat with them. C) I'm not sure how far the "Family First" concept flies these days at Wharton. Yes, it probably gets backed up here during a typical morning rush, and they're always tweaking stuff like menu items and pre-packaged brown bag fare for you to carryout quickly. But if you do have a little time, consider stopping in here for a moment or two: I'm simply fascinated with people who run a business and do what they do because by gosh and golly, it's exactly what they want to do, and not just another job or something else in life to complain about. I had originally planned to give Corona Café four-stars for being what they are - an unexpected gem of a coffeehouse hidden in a strip mall. That in itself makes them special. But it occurred to me, as I was hanging there on a Monday afternoon with an Americano and chatting about families and business and stuff, that this place might actually be an unexpected reality check, a brief respite for a "stop and smell the roses" moment. It was obviously more the scent of espresso than roses, of course, but I left there thinking, this just might be as good as it gets.

    From the inside...

    Ok, this is the most authentic, anti-corporate, true coffee shop I have ever been to. Naimen is the owner/operator and the most knowledgeable person on coffee I have ever met. If this isn't obvious in the craftsmanship he applies to his trade, then you aren't a true coffee fan. If you continue to visit and listen to his coffee conversations, you can't help but learn a ton. Now for the coffee...I am a traditional coffee person. I like my coffee black, no cream, no sugar; so yes, I am boring. I find those that order their triple half-caff double Chia latte with cinnamon revolting people that talk more about themselves, the Kardashians, vaccinations and whatever other mindless nonsensical fad happens to be popular. You can find these people at the green and white place happily displaying their latest technology as a status symbol, but I digress. I was so impressed with Naiman's knowledge I threw caution to the wind and left my coffee experience in his hands. He had no clue that I liked my coffee plain Jane with the only question being "whole milk?", to which I said "yes." After the typical slam bang of the espresso machine I was presented with the non-descript white cup with the to-go lid in place. I didn't care to take the lid off top to see what was inside as the first sip would tell me more than any visual. As I take that first sip, he asks, "So?" My mind is now seriously confused. I detected a bit of mocha but the strength of the espresso bean and the silky smooth sensation of real whole milk froth. I ponder the fact that I like this; no, I REALLY like this. My response is a guarded one of "Café Mocha but there is something strange and delicious." His response startled me. Naimen revels to my shock and horror that I just had a "BLACKBERRY LATTE!" I think to myself, how can this be? I am a normal blue collar coffee type! I am not a one bite fruit guy. I love my droid and my Linux and my old school punk and all things anti-latte, yet I somehow love this blend. The elegance of the blackberry syrup made and espresso bean creating a slight hint of Mocha combined with the smoothness of whole milk is a testament to molecular gastronomy. I have now come to the conclusion that as long as a craftsmen is true to their craft, I can respect that. I can not only respect it, I can admire it. Corona Café is a true rarity and certainly respects that art of coffee brewing and blending. While the green and whites are painting by number, Naimen is a true artist.

    Add fixings - enjoy the art

    As someone who's a bit of a coffee snob, it's not easy for me to be impressed - even when the product is crafted by personal friends. I have to disclose that the owners of the cafe invited me to display and sell my photography on their walls - but I assure you, when it comes to food and drink, I can be painfully objective. Just as many mothers do, mine taught me not to say anything unless I had something nice to say - so this is what I have to share with you: I have several friends that own foodservice establishments. They're not all terrific (the estrablishments) - and even for "family", they don''t all offer consistent service. I tried the Latte and a Curried Chicken Salad Sandwich the other day - and all BS aside - I'm still thinking about that experience - and will most likely repeat it before the day is over. There are lots of great options to select from - and some of you might frown at my glowing review after a brief visit. In my defense, I'll say this. Have you ever been on a date and shared that first kiss that informs you of a bright future? I've been fortunate enough to experience this at least once in my life - and I feel confident that Corona Cafe will love YOU a LONG TIME!! (My "inexpensive" rating applies to businesses with a dollar menu. The sandwich I had cost $5, and my huge latte was $3 - hardly expensive - and well worth the cash.)

    A great little coffee shop and cafe located 20 feet from Nomad bar on Corona Dr. at Cameron Rd. Owner Naiman Rigby and his perpetually pleasant staff serve up quality cups of love and do it with a smile every time. Come here for some really top notch java (roasted & purchased locally in the nghd). The espresso is bold and always pulled to precision. The hot drip coffee and cold brewed toddys have exceptional levels of flavor. Try them first without your milk preference - I promise you'll be surprised at how superior Naiman's offerings are to your typical cup of joe. They also offer Horchata (yup), hand crafted Kashmir chai, refreshing fruit seltzers ("agua frescas") and syrups - ALL are made in the store. Like I said, Corona is all about quality drinks. Arrive hungry as well. There are soups made in store from mama's recipes, made to order sammies, fruit & yogurt parfaits, breakfast tacos and pressed paninis to name some choices. Always ask what the chef has prepared today. If it sounds like walking into Corona Cafe will leave you spoiled for choices on good food and great drinks then you are correct. It's a nice problem to have and Naiman and his staff will happily deliver you to flavor satisfaction. Come chat with a friend, get some laptop work done or pop in for a quick caffeine fix. Either way, break the chains and come patronize this local gem!

    Quaint locally owned coffee shop. I never would have thought it was here but for randomly seeing it when my husband and I spontaneously decided to drive around the surrounding neighborhood about a month ago. We wanted to check it out, but it was closed at the time. I had an early morning meeting today and decided to stop by after. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I had the iced Luna, and it was perfection. Also had some breakfast tacos which are from Tex Mex off of Manor. I absolutely loved the black bean, egg, and cactus taco. Will need to check them out with the hubby sometime. I have been frequenting the Star Bucks off Barbara Jordan (Mueller Area) for sometime now, but with this place just a few blocks away from there, I think I found a new morning spot. They were not too busy, so it was easy to find a table and there are plenty of outlets for you to charge your phones, laptops, and other devices. I definitely would recommend this place and encourage you to GO LOCAL. They close at 3, so Star Bucks may keep my loyalty in the evenings.

    This was supposed to be 16oz of coffee.  This mug is probably 14oz.
