My husband and daughter took me there today for mothers day. I have been here several times and they do not disappoint. They had rose petals adorn the front entryway and gave me a red rose. They pulled out all the stops for Mothers Day!The food is delicious! Coffee superb and the staff is amazing. read more

Cenacle Bistro is the definition of don't judge a book by its cover. I'm so happy we stumbled upon this hidden gem. My friend and I both ordered the shrimp and grits and they were overly good. I've never had shrimp and grits with an Alfredo-style sauce, but now I get it... I don't want it any other way. The service was just as good as the food. Our waitresses were super kind and friendly. We were seated outside on such a beautiful day but they didn't forget us. They stayed attentive and that made the whole experience even better. My only gripe was the Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte. The flavor was there, but having actual cereal in the drink wasn't my favorite once it got soggy. The texture through the straw was a little off. I think a cinnamon sugar version would've been perfect instead. But honestly, that's minor. I would definitely go back again and again and again. Such a gem! read more

Menu looks real simple and to the point. I ordered 2 Cenacle Honey butter Chicken Biscuits w/ Cheese. Also, I got two Matchas with Espresso. The matchas were good, they tasted like hot chocolate lowkey, but it was made well, no complaints. The biscuits were really good! I like that you can tell it's freshly prepared: the filet was tender, and crispy. The biscuit fresh and the honey blended well with everything. The eggs were runny, the my were crispy and airy. I don't have any pics, but we'll definitely go back again!! read more

I found out about Cenacle Bistro on Instagram and thought my wife and I give it a try. They have plenty of parking so that is a plus. The customer service was great until the end part of our dining experience. I ordered the waffles with grits and hash brown casserole. All of it was delicious! Food came out timely and was very flavorful. The restaurant started getting busy so this is a well known local spot. Our service started to go downhill when our waitress disappeared. Overall it was a great experience and would like to come back to try other food items. read more

OMG! I love it when a last minute decision becomes a great choice!! we will be back and probably sooner rather than later. Everything was excellent. Service was fabulous- Tam could not have been better. Black excellence in service and food quality. Best oatmeal hands down and the spinach quiche has a great texture and flavor. Don't sleep on this. Hubby said the beef sausage is good- new experience for him--"Excellent" he said. read more

WOW! What a great breakfast place. From the moment you walk in the team is supper friendly and helpful. Overall it is a cool place, the ambiance is a vibe. They have seating options both inside and outside. I ordered the Hash-brown casserole with the breakfast bowl and the honey chicken biscuit. Both were great! The hash-brown casserole is a must! The flavor was wonderful and the addition of the fried egg, bacon and cheese only elevated it. The biscuit was flakey and the chicken had great flavor...add the egg and cheese and it just took it over the top. I also got a latte, which was nice to have during the wait for the food. It is not fast food, it definitely took a bit to get my food, not a complaint because it was absolutely with the wait, just a heads up if you are in a rush. It may have just been the morning I was there, but they had plenty of staff, so I think they care so it takes some time. read more

Easy to find, great parking, there was a rug at the door that the host watched us trip over and didn't apologize or move it. Took a while for the waitress to address us even though there were only 3 other parties in the establishment. When she did come over she was friendly and explained the menu very well. She didn't bring our drinks over, she completely forgot. We only ordered two waters and a coffee. Then I ordered the vegan dish which included vegan sausage which I ordered. My plate came out with vegan bacon instead. I requested my sausage and heard the cook say we don't have it. I've had much better vegan dishes. I took it from two stars to 3 because the other person I was with said her breakfast casserole was delicious! This was a great find but I won't be back. read more

Took my daughter for breakfast on Tuesday. Staff was very friendly. We ordered pancakes and French toast with bacon and eggs. We devoured it!! Didn't get to take a picture. At check out it dawned on me I left my dang wallet/ Id and everything at home. The host was gracious, waited for me to get a pic of my card and manually entered my payment information. Definitely would return . Food was delicious! Ambiance was very chill, music was being played. Great vibe! read more

We came here after not being seated at another popular brunch spot! We were so glad we came!!! Most of us are from out of town. They welcomed us in, took our orders and served us with a smile and SUPERB customer service. Everything was good and the only good left was from folks who were full! Note, the chicken salad has craisins in it. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Try everything! Salmon Croquettes, shrimp n grits, omelets! All delicious. We have nothing but great things to say about this spot. Great work and many blessings for success! read more

First time visiting, was for Sunday brunch and it will not be the last! Every employee was extremely friendly. LaChele/LaShay (sorry can't remember her name) behind the counter was super nice and very attentive! Our food was fast, fresh and tasty. I am really picky with grits, especially cheese grits and I would rank them in my top 3. I did pick up a slice of key lime cake and 2 chess squares to go. Looking forward to visiting this area again soon to try something else next time. read more

In the 5 years we have lived in the area we have been here only twice. Once in year Ike and it was a terrible experience. Took almost 4 hours for brunch for two people. Food was incorrect. We were the only ones when we arrived and people who arrived after us were served and left before we ever even got our food. We decided it was terrible and never planned to come back. Skip to this past weekend we are in the middle of packing up our home and moving and really wanted a breakfast sandwich for a brunch break but didn't want fast food like Dunkin. So we decided to give it a try. We arrived post church hours so it was busy but we were seated outside immediately. Staff was far more friendly this time. Still not very quick but much faster by far (we were there about 2 hours which is reasonable) our services whose name I did not catch could not have been nicer. We ordered a hash bowl (4/10-it was kind of mushy and the plated they served it in kind of made it look like dog food unfortunately) and French toast which was fine. Nothing special (5/10) but the star was the chicken honey biscuit. That was excellent (10/10) I may go back for another this week for much. My husband had major order envy. I do restored asking for it to come with a larger plate Becca's service it on a Saucer and it is messy. I will want to mention that while we were there the tarp that covered the patio tore and that sent what I assume was collected old dirty rain water shooting down. We *all* got lucky and it didn't hit anyone or any tables but it was very close to us. They offered to let us move tables but it was over by the time they noticed and did so so we stayed where we were assuming it would not happen again. Had that hit us it would have ruined our time as it was dirty water...you may want to consider adding a real roof or removing tarp and letting it just be an uncovered pergola to avoid future issues - had it actually hit us I would ahve expected our meal to be comped so we could leave to go shower immediately...thankfully this is not a conversation or experience we had to have but please consider making needed changes in the future. read more

We stopped by for coffee on a Sat afternoon. The vibes were great. There was a DJ outside! I got a text the following day advertising a live band during brunch. I grabbed a Cinnamon Toast Crunch latte with oat milk. If you like sweet coffee, I highly recommend but it's not overwhelmingly sweet. We also ordered a mango smoothie but my brother said it was more of a slushy consistency. The staff were very sweet and super attentive. We felt welcomed as soon as we opened the door. I'd love to come by again to try their food. read more

Such a cute coffee shop with a cozy vibe! I had the turkey bacon breakfast bowl so flavorful and filling. I also tried the iced white chocolate coffee, which was a great recommendation from the cook and did not disappoint. There's parking available, which is always a plus, although I did have a little trouble finding the location at first. Definitely worth checking out once you find it! read more

The workers are super friendly. They all greeted me and were full of smiles. My server took my order and even after he placed my order another employee came to check on me to make sure I was being served. That was sweet. My server was very nice too. I went around 1230pm so it was more on the empty side but had a very relaxing environment. This was the best omelette I had in a very long time!! The eggs had such a pretty color. I wondered if it was vegan eggs with how pretty it was. But my oh my. I need to bring more people to eat here. I will be recommending this restaurant to everyone I know. I will definitely be back again. They all told me goodbye when I left too. All around I was very impressed with my experience here. Keep the employees as happy as you do owner. read more

My fiancé, cousin, and I wanted to grab a quick breakfast before going to six flags so we decided to check this place out. It was a cute cafe style restaurant and we were able to get seated right away. Our server was great. I got the honey chicken egg sandwich and my cousin got the bacon egg and cheese sandwich and both of our biscuits were tasty but extremely buttery. My fiancé got the breakfast burrito and he liked it but said it was a bit too oily. Overall we did enjoy the meals and if we were in town again, we would go back. read more

I was visiting from LA and was looking for some southern hospitality and they had it! The playlist was fiirrreeeee and the food is pretty decent. I had the salmon croquettes and grits. It was pretty decent. Like, I wasn't mad at it especially because southern food is better than basic LA food even when it's not like 10/10 so I wasn't mad. read more

I had to pivot really hard when it came to my dining adventures for this trip since I expected her to be in school every day. Nevertheless, I wanted to try at least one next black owned restaurant while here and while searching for a breakfast spot, came across The Cenacle. I figured as long as a menu has pancakes or chicken nuggets on it, it's a winner since I know those are two things my 4 year old niece will eat. It's small inside but has a nice patio. Can't wait to try them in the spring. Service is good despite them saying they're needing staff. My salmon and grits with a honey drizzle was phenomenal! They also had catfish and grits and shrimp and grits. I'm sure you can't go wrong with either of them. My niece's pancakes were huge! Like size of your head huge, and tasted like someone's granny is in the back wearing an apron with flour smeared on it! She also loved the Turkey bacon that accompanied it. If you're ever in Atlanta, stop and visit them. read more

It was ok. Service was fine but I never had a burrito with black olives. That was weird.

I almost left because they were short staffed and there was a wait. They have limited low table and I am not a fan of the high tops. But I waited and so glad I did. The food and service were A+++. I explained to host my dislike of high tops and once someone left she got us moved. If You are one the fence about trying them do it trust me your belly will thank you. read more

I met up with my longtime friend for Sunday brunch. I like this place because it's like a neighborhood diner except it's a charming restaurant in the heart of Austell. They're not terribly crowded and expanded their breakfast hours. The website looks like they open at 12 noon but they start serving at 8:30 AM! I was way too into the meal and conversation so I forgot to snap a photo. I started with a biscuit with jelly, then the veggie omelette that comes with toast. I also got a side of turkey bacon. The bacon could have been cooked crispier but otherwise the meal was good. They're known for their coffees so I'll have to try it next time. The to-go traffic was non-stop so there's something patrons love. They have a great soul food selection as well as breakfast favorites. Unfortunately they don't serve alcohol so the mimosas are virgin. It's charming, service is great and you can pay with your server at the table (wirelessly). I will surely keep this one on the list and visit more frequently. read more

The Cenacle Bistro - Breakfast notice - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austell, Georgia

First of all let me say the food is AMAZING!! But!! ...yes there is a but!!! The the wait time and service is below terrible!! This is actually my third visit in a week. Each time food is amazing. And each time wait is longer and longer!! Mind you the tables aren't full!! So I'm not sure what the hold up is. I brought my uncle on this visit and he is adamant he will NEVER be back regardless of how the food is because of the service and wait time. I asked the servicer what the issue was and she stated short staffed. Considering we were very hungry I asked for complimentary biscuits or something! She stated she could not give that. After waiting for almost an hour....our food still had not come out!! Bottom line....if you got time...u won't be disappointed by the food...but expect a ridiculous wait time...for everything!!

Let's start with the star of the show, the food. The food was really good. My salmon croquettes was a little over cooked for my taste. The cornbread is amazing!!! The fish and grits were delicious. The service was a little slow this time around, but they were busy. The place is quaint with a nice outside seating area. Our second time here and we plan to visit again. read more

Food, Service and Ambiance was great! Coming back and looking forward to another wonderful meal

The server was uninterested in being bothered. Feels like a family restaurant, which is great but the sad part to me is that the energy in this smaller establishment is so low!! It's okay to smile, and allow for a welcoming environment. The food is honestly just okay. We came for an experience but there just isn't anything to brag or get excited about. I'm kind of angry because I wanted to boast about the restaurant and tell everyone to go. I still say go, perhaps you'll have a better experience. My final thought is about the Southern Salmon Croquettes! This is NOT, I repeat NOT a croquette. This is an overcooked, large and hard hushpuppy with uncooked filling made of salmon, onions and spices. This recipe needs an overhaul and revision. They're dry, no complementing sauce of any kind...it's just a NO. I purposely tipped 20% and I'll never be back. The energy is off, the food is non-delectable and that is all. read more
