What a fun and funky coffee and wine bar...interesting combination. I asked my barista how the business came to be named Meteor and he actually did not know. Fortunately, for us the owner was on premises and shared the basis of the name via a postcard... "I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot I would rather be a superb METEOR every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy permanent planet the function of man is to live, not exist I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them I shall use my time." Jack London (Arthur of Call of the Wild, White Fang, The Sea-Wolf + To Build a Fire) Not sure what all that means, but I interpret to mean that you should live life to fullest...every day...unapologetically. I ordered hibiscus tea, which was fragrant, robust and smooth. In addition, I purchased a pecan chocolate chip mutant large cookie...yum to the nth degree!!! The store sales an assortment of wines and beers from around the world. In addition, they sell coffee and pastries. There is a good amount of indoor seating. On Mondays nights they play jeopardy and the have discounted drinks. Definitely returning... read more

Solid coffee, delicious breakfast tacos, and cute spot!! In a city with a coffee shop on every corner, here's why the meteor stood out to me: Coffee/matcha its self was really good. We tried the fronks milk which was yummy but for extra $, next time I'd just stick to regular milk. But solid coffee & matcha none the less. The breakfast taco was absolutely delicious and they were made fresh right in front of you!! I was seriously impressed with these. This is one the best breakfast tacos I've had around town. The place itself is just really cute. It would be a great spot to work remote from, but I enjoyed just hanging out there. read more

Walked to this little spot from our Airbnb and it was great. Cute little place and the sign!! Espresso, champagne, bike lube I got Avo toast in sourdough and it was amazing! The fresh greens were delicious and the radish gave it a little kick. Literally the best Avo Toast I have had! You order at the counter and they bring certain things to your table. My husband got a breakfast burrito and those were already made. So he got his asap and I had to wait -didn't love that. Feel that when you see 2 people dining together, serve their food together. He was completely done by the time I got mine. Saw 2-3 people working there in a Sunday morning, music on that was a perfect level and pleasant! read more

Really cute shop with lots of tables where people were working and talking. Employees were super nice, I came in another time 10 minutes before close and they still took my order although the matcha wasn't as good. Ordered the Vietnamese coffee and berry berry matcha latte, and both were really good. Would definitely come back again, love how unique it is with the bike shop as well. read more

Coffee shop meets bottle shop meets wine shop meets cocktail bar meets pizza shop meets cafe/diner. All of these things rolled into one makes The Meteor a standout choice for a cup of tea or pastry for brekkie, a salad or burger for lunch, or pizza for dinner. Rather just have a latte or a beer? They've got beer on tap and in the coolers for take away purchase. Cider and other bevvies as well. Going to a dinner party and want to grab a nice bottle of wine? They've got you covered. Fancy a cocktail or a glass of juice? Have at it. They've also got a small shopping area where you can buy hot sauce, gift cards (to The Meteor), cups, mugs, and more. Wanna hang with friends? Nice interior decor with seating. Small seating outside in front of restaurant and a large covered patio in the back. Want a place to get some work done? Bring your laptop, they've got wifi for ya. Walk up to the counter, place your order with the cashier, get a number, grab a seat. Someone will bring out your food when it's ready. Cool vibe, steady flow of customers all day long. Had a smashburger and OMG fries (the seasoning will get ya)...really good! Boyfriend had falafel in a pita...really good. We shared a glass of iced ginger plum tea...also really good. read more

As a cyclist, this spot is my home away from home. It's where I grab a quick coffee before an early morning group ride, or where I grab a drink/dinner after enjoying an evening riding with my friends. The space is wonderful, with an expansive outdoor patio and lots of indoor seating as well. The staff is super friendly and hard working, cranking out espressos in record time. I've always enjoyed grabbing light snacks here like the focaccia, but also love the dinner options and drinks. The only thing that isn't great is the coffee itself. It is burnt and bitter; barely drinkable as an espresso/cortado. But in a latte it is doable! read more

The Meteor - Maple Tahini Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

The pumpkin muffin was delicious! It tasted very similar to a Starbucks pumpkin muffin, just without all the sugar. I felt good even after scarfing the whole thing down! It tasted like body fuel, not junk. But not too much of a "healthy" taste (if that makes sense). I loved it! The blueberry muffin was full of whole blueberries and soft. The banana bread had a good distribution of nuts and wasn't too sweet. It was delicious. The service during my Too Good to Go pick up was terrific. I was greeted with friendly warmness and was clearly welcome in the restaurant. She was also very happy to share information about the restaurant--it made me very interested to come back and try the regular menu. read more

Great spot for a quality coffee -- they serve Intelligentsia, so you know it's good -- plus a selection of house-made pastries. Our favorite is the Big BEC, a breakfast biscuit sandwich with cheese and a fried egg. It normally comes with bacon, but we usually go for the pork sausage, and it never disappoints. Friendly service and good vibes all around. read more

The Meteor is an extremely cool café, coffee shop, cyclery, etc. in the very hip South Congress neighborhood of Austin. There's places to work inside and an awesome patio around back. The sister cycle shop is next door, and a very interesting place worth investigating as well. Check it out. read more

Very chill vibe. Come to drink, meet a friend, have some laughs. Come have a coffee and write your paper. Staff is friendly and informative.

When I need to get out of my prison cell of what I call my home office, this is the first place I turn to. I live on the south side of town, so the drive on 35 is no fret, as most locals are aware of. That said, their award winning cookie and a nice flat white always do the trick to a pick-me-up. The service is lovely, warm, and so helpful, and the back patio is just fantastic. They have a parking lot (a pain to get into honestly because the driveway is 45 degrees), but there is plenty of street parking right across from the cafe. Additionally, they have a vast selection of wine, beer, and ciders - I haven't tried the pizza, but the Caesar salad is to die for (crispy cheese and extra crunch lettuce) read more

I really enjoyed this place! It has a chill vibe that also doubles as a bike shop. I got the chicken shawarma, which was tasty, but had a little too much paprika. They also have a good selection of beers/wines. It's a nice place on South Congress that's not in the middle of the hustle and bustle. read more

If you anywhere near S. Congress you NEED to STOP HERE! Great Austin ambiance relaxed, natural & if you need a cup of Joe (I prefer cappuccinos and theirs are FAB ) you won't be sorry add a fresh donut, scone and YES! breakfast tacos or one of their other delicious baked goods and you'll be on a meteor straight to Heaven By The Way! excellent Chocolate Chunk Cookies for your afternoon snack. Ample seating inside with WIFI plus a nice selection of natural wine & merch if your in need of a lil something, outdoor seating too if your bring your pup . Also located inside is a PIZZA oven so later when the hunger starts you know where to go to satisfy that cheesy, tomato with dough carb load. Eat in or Take Away, Burgers, salads, fries, soda & beer also served. read more

Initially we were heading to the Magnolia Cafe and the line was over an hour so we decided to try the Meteor Restaurant next door. What an amazing choice. The ambience was great, extremely welcoming and clean. No wait whatsoever and the food was excellent. Although we did miss breakfast, lunch was great. Burgers, Wings, Iced tea, iced coffee and cookies were all fantastic. The service was truly the best you could ask for as well. Restrooms were clean. Both the staff and customers were all kind and pleasant. This was a 5 out of 5 on all levels. Thanks for such a fast friendly service and amazing food & drinks. We will always remember the experience. Highly a recommend! read more

I had a $5.50 reward on the Local by Toast app (their POS system) and the man at the counter could not care less. He told me to use the card associated with my account which everyone knows is how it works. I just didn't recall which card it was. The app gave me a QR code and he didn't even bother trying to use it or to ask for help. He just told me to use the associated card and didn't care when I said I can't recall which card that is. I told him I was gonna order online like most restaurants allow via Toast. Instead of telling me they don't take online orders, he let me shuffle around the store and tap around on my phone to figure it out myself. Also their seasonal latte is $10. That's too bold. He was legit bothered by me. Like it's not that deep bro. Just ask your supervisor. I guess my real fear is that he IS the supervisor. read more

I was here Monday night, 01/19, between 7pm and 7:40pm and while I was washing my hands at the bathroom sinks a man came out of one of the bathroom stalls, ran his hands under the other faucet for legitimately not even one full "Mississippi" (no soap or anything), dried his hands on his clothes then walked out. I thought "Ew" but when I walked out the cafe area I noticed the same man behind the serving bar walking into the kitchen. He was one of the employees preparing food and had not even washed his hands after using a bathroom before going back to the kitchen. read more

This place is so cute! You can purchase full bottles of wine or champagne or you can purchase wine by the glass. I ordered a vodka martini and it was one of the best I have ever had. I thought the burger was just OK but the atmosphere was really cute and It's a great location. read more

This pita lunch is a perfect combination of flavors and it pairs perfectly with a cider on tap.

Trust me on this. read more

Good place to post up and get some work done. Everything is a bit pricey, but I figured it's the fee for using the space to work. The Caesar salad is good but again, $20 is a little crazy for a plate of lettuce. Banana bread was decent, would definitely be better with chocolate chips. Service is fast and I like that they have free match boxes. read more

I'd describe The Meteor as an incognito, multifunctional cafe in South Austin. The Meteor has a little bit of everything. They have food for every hour, coffee, wine, and cocktails. There's a good mix of seating indoors (along with a spacious backyard area), making it easy to co-work or have a coffee with friends. I opted for simple Iced Chai. It was solid! I'll definitely be back to sample more of the menu and to get some work done! read more

Great coffee, baked goods. Quite a selection of beers, ciders and wines. I haven't had the food but it looks amazing. I love the vibe. Bike stuff (although most of it has moved next door), quiet enough to talk or study. Variety of seating options, inside and out. Friendly faces working here. Will always stop by when I'm on this side of Austin. read more

Whether you are looking for wine, great food, coffee, or a bike tune up, The Meteor is the place to go! I loved the food and coffee so much I went the next day and had the same thing I also like the interior of the cafe. It's pretty cool, modern, and spacious. There seemed to be many outlets if that's something you are looking for. The service was good and my food came out quickly. I don't live in Austin but I would definitely come to The Meteor again when I visit! read more

My coffee was good - drunk the entire glass (which I don't do often). The vibe is great for hanging out with friends or working remotely. They have a row of bar stools and outlets by the windows - perfect for remote work. I worked there for about 3 hours and it was great. My only complaint is that the wifi has hours. It is only available from 7AM - 5PM. I understand why (and honestly I respect it) but it is still inconvenient read more

Just rating food for the coffee, since that's all I had. It was delightful! Full bodied, smooth, and I got with oat which was creamy and nice. It was pretty expensive, came out to over $9 with tip for a 12oz. The place was packed at 11am on a Thursday, lots of people working on laptops so there wasn't a place for me to sit. It seems like a cool place where a lot of cool people hang out to do work and socialize. They had great and abundant wine choices for a variety of budgets. read more

The Meteor Cafe has such a great outdoor patio space, lots of picnic tables and umbrellas for shade from the sun! The cafe is connected to a bike shop, so if you need anything bike-related it's right next door for all your bike needs! If you don't need anything bike-related, grab some breakfast tacos + coffee and head out back to the patio. The fruit bowl is huge and filling, if you want to make it a yogurt bowl you can request them to add greek yogurt. Each fruit bowl is filled with a variety of fresh cut fruit such as strawberries, pineapples, and melon. Coffee here is really good but lattes are super creamy and delicious. Not there for breakfast? You can enjoy a glass of wine on their patio with a slice of pizza. They have a wide variety of wines, coffees, and merch if you're looking to bring something back home. The Meteor is perfect for breakfast + wine o' clock! Such a great space to bring your laptop and work. Parking lot has plenty of space for cars and bikes! Highly recommend the next time you're on South Congress and need a pick me up! read more

Drink: Matcha with Special Milk Rating: 6/10 The matcha was good, but the special milk--while unique with its cinnamon flavor--wasn't quite worth the higher price for me. If you're a cinnamon fan, you might enjoy it more! The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere remains as lovely as ever. I used to study here during college, and it's still a great spot with a quiet, calming ambiance. read more

Staff could be friendlier, and was disappointed to see the barista add room temp/cold water to my hot americano, which was then pretty cold. Used to love this location (and the one in Bentonville) but probably won't be going back. read more

Wow wow wow. We were only in town for 2 days and so glad we chose this place to have a late lunch! We will definitely come back the next time we are in the area. This place is super cozy, to grab a bite with your fam and also work on your laptop or journal. I got a 16" plain Jane pizza but there was nothing plain about it! The crust was bubbly and perfectly charred, it had a crisp edge but the top was soft and had a nice chew to it. What got my attention was the sauce, I'm not sure what's in it but has a teeny bit of heat that was amazing. The cheese was stringy when hot and made it very fun to take it off the tray. Personally, I liked eating off the little rectangular trays they give you (grew up eating pizza off of the white paper plates). Perfect for eating pizza with your hands or if you switched half way to use fork/knife. We also got the chicken shawarma dish and boy it looked amazing. I didn't get to try it because the person who ordered it scarfed it down so quickly. But from the looks of it, I'm guessing it was on point with flavor. Since we were drawing and being creative, we got a pot of black tea. It comes in a glass pot on a tray. Adorable. We also got the ginger plum iced tea which was really refreshing. Loved the windows in this place. It was rainey the day we came but we had a great view of the main road and the raindrops. We also were able to charge our phones too while having an americano, thank you!! We read more

My first one star review ever. I called twice to make a reservation for a ten person meeting and both times was told that the exact indoor space space I imagined on Monday night was quiet (and that I wouldn't even need a reservation because the space was always "very very very" empty on Monday). Turns out there's trivia every Monday night--which no one told me either time I called! Brought ten people who all had to leave early because the space was so loud. Very disappointed. read more

Atmosphere is giving "you cant sit with us" energy buuuuuut the service and coffee is some of the BEST i've had in Austin. Nice spot for date night or to go out with the girls, not so much to go hangout alone. My friend recommended this spot for it's amazinggggg coffee-- they surcharge about 20% over regular price at other spots so be aware of that read more

Perfect place to catch some calm on SOCO. The food and drink here is great but it is the atmosphere that really sets them apart. I love that they often have fresh flowers on the table, don't know why but just makes it feel intentional and special. I love their coffee and every latte I have had was delicious. The breakfast tacos are what I have most often had (potato and cheese is my favorite). You cannot go wrong with any of the pastries though. read more

It's very heavy on the egg, not sure if I would get the taco again. The coffee was decent. Essentially the food was decent. read more

The food here is a perfect representation of "mid" and "overpriced". $20 for a mediocre small burger and unseasoned fries.

I have to say, this is quite possibly the cutest spot on Congress. Ok, there's a ton of cute spots but this one is worthy of being on top of that list. The welcoming vibe from the baristas, the lighting and just the overall environment. We came just for the masala chai latte which was actually really, really good. A little too sweet to my liking but my girlfriend loved the flavor. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu because the aroma from the coffee beans was very powerful and I was craving a cup as soon as I stepped out of my car. I highly recommend trying the masala chai. The perfect mix of milk and masala chai that anyone could enjoy. read more
