Yummy Frozen Lemonade
Beverly M.

This tiny family-owned drive-through business has been a lifesaver. It sits in the parking lot of Cabo Bob's... but it's been there for decades. The shining star on the menu - for me - is the frozen lemonade. I think they whip in some egg white, which gives it a fluffy consistency, much better than a Slurpee. On a hot day (and when isn't it a hot day in Austin, Texas?) one of these frozen lemonades can make everything right. There are lots of dairy-free, gluten-free and sugar-free options for hot and cold drinks and baked snacks. I straight up love the cinnamon rolls. The service is also a treat! Someone smiling and lovely is always there to brighten your day.

I was back in my old hood and decided to pop over to Sorrento's again. The service was still friendly and top notch. Ordering was easy and the location was clean. The employee who gave me my drink truly seemed to be happy to be doing her job. What a refreshing experience!

Latte
Stella S.

I wanted to like this place because of the reviews, but I couldn't stand the taste of the matcha or coffee. I had originally ordered a matcha, it tasted like sugary milk with no matcha taste. I asked them for a coffee instead because it tasted nothing like matcha. The coffee latte was not worth the price, for anyone who drinks artisanal coffees or just decent cups of coffee would probably be disappointed. The kolaches was okay, it was too tiny for $5 per/kolache. Other places you can get a decent sized one for the same price and better quality!

LOVE LOVE this coffee shop! It's so convenient as you can either drive up or walk up. The staff is also always so friendly! I usually have the marshmallow latte but when I wanted to try something new one of the girls was so sweet and recommended the French toast latte which was amazing!! It's also a local spot, so please support your local businesses :)

Drive thru side
Kaitlin U.

We pulled off the highway to get some gas and I wanted to grab a coffee. How lucky that Sorrento Coffee was right by the gas station! This place is a super cute local drive thru/walk up with standard drinks and specialty drinks. I ended up getting a medium iced coffee with oat milk and hazelnut / macadamia nut flavoring. The barista was very friendly and kind. They helped me choose flavors I wanted for my coffee and even asked me if the color of the coffee was ok before they handed it over, asking me to taste it to make sure it was what I wanted. I have gotten so many coffees in my life and am NEVER asked if it looks good before I take it. That really was so sweet. Plus, the coffee tastes great! I am thrilled at our lil happenstance stop at Sorrento.

I'm a bit of a picky coffee connoisseur and this place has GREAT COFFEE! They also have good breakfast tacos, muffins and kolaches!! Plus, the employees are so sweet and always smiling. It's a great part of my morning

one of the best places i've ever gotten a matcha latte from. this is a very cute little drive thru coffee that moves pretty quickly. the staff is incredibly nice & the best part is you take it to go.

I love everything about this place!! Reasonable prices , pretty great drinks I've gotten to try a few-- but a large matcha latte for me always, super convenient drive thru, and their staff are always amazing!

She's a first timer. We love supporting local!

Love supporting local! Sorrento's is a teeny tiny drive thru or walk up coffee joint that provides you the most positive customer service experience every time. I'm never disappointed with my coffee here and am fairly pleased with the coffee prices. I look forward to trying an Italian cream soda at some point in the near future! I drove by at 8 on a Friday and the line was short - to my surprise. Typically the line around this place is pretty long. But I will say, they crank out the coffees pretty fast here. Today was my first time trying a pastry and sadly I was not very pleased with it. Not their fault as they're not the bakers (to my knowledge). I'll still be on the hunt for a tasty treat next time. The blueberry muffin was just too dry. I've become a regular on Friday mornings and I'm sure it'll stay this way!

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.

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.

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.

For food, we ordered the blackened catfish, brisket burnt ends quesadillas, and harvest bowl to share.

I was so appreciative of the server splitting the entree over two plates without us asking. Did I mention the complimentary popcorn and cornbread? Twas a FEAST.

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.
