A bit odd to me that everyone is basing their reviews on their mediocre food and not even mentioning the wine... this is a natural wine haven. I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I stumbled upon this place and was delighted to find some of my absolute favourite pet nats and oranges stored beautifully in the entry corridor fridges, not to mention the hundred different bottles stacked on the opposite end. Found out they have a wine club - 6 bottles/month for $150 with free delivery. Super cool. Some nice draft beers and a really delicious lemongrass iced tea. Will be back read more

Update to my first review: Reached out to the owner who was very understanding and easy to work with. Gonna give this place another shot in the future. -- Local first-timer. Had several brunch items. The pork sausage wasn't cooked thoroughly and the bread was cold on the breakfast sandwich. The dish with eggs, greens, quinoa, and bacon had no flavor outside of being just spicy and eggs were cooked wrong. Potatoes were hard and cold. The modified avocado toast was burnt. The best item was the fruit plate. Coffee was good. Too bad. We were hopeful. read more

Such a great spot! Tasty coffee and food. A little hiccup with my order, and they went above and beyond to make it right. Casual but thoughtfully-designed space with a lot of light. read more

The Meteor - Falafocaccia sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Austin, Texas

To preface, I love coming to The Meteor for the atmosphere, vibe and cool staff but there's something seriously lacking with their new menu...I ordered the new Shwarma Platter and the chicken was dry and no where near the quality and taste of any shwarma I've had. The hummus was sub par and chunky and the pita was dry and fell apart. Also, too much slaw...overall not worth the steep price of $19! I hate leaving a bad review but I feel the need to on this one. read more

One of my favorite spots in Austin! I live in the hood & walk here often to grab coffee, breakfast, happy hour, etc. Food, drink & customer service are always top notch. Also they have an incredible selection of wine & beer for in house dining or for takeaway. Highly recommend! read more

The Ottobahn chicken sandwich is perhaps the best sandwich I've ever eaten. You'll need about 10 napkins but it's well worth it. Absolutely delish! read more

Not sure how this place isn't rated perfect 5 stars. May be my favorite spot in Austin. Okay for specific dishes I can think of better places to get a pizza or a sandwich but I can't think of a spot with such a cool aesthetic and feel that works all times of the day. Great place to grab coffee and breakfast tacos (bacon is my favorite here), fun to share a pizza and beer after kayaking, huge wine selection to have a glass with friends in the backyard area. Plus the staff is always friendly. read more

Love the place. Nice coffee. Cool hangout. Having the bike shop in the same place is really useful.

I've been looking forward to checking out this new spot and the esthetic was spot on, actually didn't get coffee but was hungry, skipped the delicious looking pizza bc gluten and ordered a bowl. Added the chicken and it was all quite delicious, however, overpriced in my opinion. Will try again but stick to a coffee next time. :/ read more

Gosh - if you say you offer Gfree pizza - learn to cook it - just because our diet requires no wheat doesn't mean we don't expect good food. Taste what you cook. We sent it back - still terrible, so we left - no one asked why or offered a refund. Also, gosh get someone to run the register who knows your menu and who gives a dang. "Do you serve gfree bread for avocado toast?" Answer: "Uh, the chefs don't know, but maybe we do?" Also if you put fries on the menu and you are not a fast food restaurant, please don't serve frozen crinkle fries. Our ticket was $45 - nothing was worth eating read more

Great new spot on south Congress for solid coffee, a quick pastry or sit down lunch. Popped in during ACL for snacks and caffeine. Snagged a corner of my girlfriend's date energy bar (yum) and quickly polished off my ginger scone. Coffee drinks were on point. Open atmosphere, friendly staff, good amount of parking. read more

Love the food and the drink selection. Not your run of the meal Austin coffee shop where the food is imported from other places. All made in house so can't beat that. read more

I walked in with my small puppy which was in a pet carriers bag. A girl told me to step outside because they were preparing food. Very much pet unfriendly and non welcoming. My dog was in my bag. Dont come here. As well, she never offered to take my order. read more

Amazing coffee, wonderful patio, chicken shawarma bowl is absurd....that spicy curry slaw you kiddin me? Amazing selection of sweet burry vino too. Meteor fux read more

It's super cute inside and I love the atmosphere. The coffee was great and the pastries looked delicious! But the food was so, so. We had brunch, and all of us were just a little disappointed. It could be because I'm hooked on Everything Bagel Seasoning and nothing is the same without it. But, the higher probability is that all of our eggs were really cooked through. I think we all can agree, when you don't get that good egg pop on your avocado toast or breakfast sandwich...it's game over. I would go back for a pastry and coffee! read more

Forgot my order. Finally I went back to the counter to ask, and it was ready sitting cold on the counter. Staff just put it in a bag and handed it to me. No apology. read more

Best everything. Veggie burger, pasteries, marg pizza, the matcha is to die for, the wines-- the passion behind each station from the top of the chain to the bottom. Hardly anything is random, dialed and ever changing, the Meteor only gets better with age. Happy hour is *chefs kiss* and the patio is so pretty. Whether you like bikes or you're in to aesthetics or both (& good food and wine and coffee c:) i cant say enough about this lil shoppe with big energy. read more

Update: Oct. 2019 Came back in for lunch and continue to be impressed: I love the pizza, and the service has improved (of course, since I went opening day so this was to be expected). Staff is super friendly, and continue to haul ass. The beer&wine case continues to look sharp and I love that they carry nice stuff for decent (and yes, also expensive) prices. One last note - I just cannot get over the aesthetic of this place (one other bonus is how CLEAN the bathroom is!!). Super sharp, fun, and great design and food! Thanks for landing, Meteor! read more

Bruh. The food is good, but expensive as fuck. If you're rolling up in here, expect that you're paying high dollar white girl prices for a slice of pizza. Not knockIng the hustle, but you might need to sell a kidney for lunch. read more

This place is not ready to do brunch. It is a crazy long wait. If you're doing counter ordering and seat-yourself, you need to be able to turn tables fast. My husband, three year old and I all ordered varieties of eggs. Nothing that requires a 45 minute wait. The wait staff and the person behind the register are not knowledgeable about the menu, either. And please, if someone orders a side of eggs for a toddler maybe don't put a ton of black pepper on it. My husbands egg sandwich looked great and he liked it, but my fried eggs and hash browns were ice cold and the hash browns were undercooked. There was nothing special about the food, but the wait and the totally apathetic service was special in the wrong way. read more

Love this place! The idea that it's open "sun up to sun down" is the biggest draw for me, I can come in and get great coffee and avocado toast in the morning and at night have pizza and split a bottle of wine with friends (or take it to go!) Even when it's a little busy, it is always quiet enough to have good conversation and stay a while. All staff is super friendly and the atmosphere and design is read more

I love what they have done with the place and it really is a good space. Coffee is a little pricey for the value. Limited food items, but I would go back. read more

Really good sourdough! I was looking for a nice loaf of sourdough in the S. Congress area without having to drive too far, and this place delivered. I ordered it curbside to pick up from their online "marketplace" and it was ready to go in 10 minutes. I could tell it had been baked that day and was super fresh. I know not everyone would choose to go to a cafe just for a loaf of bread, but the "seeded sourdough loaf" was just really excellent! read more

3rd time is the last time for bad burned expensive pizza with out much apology. I live 3 blocks away and I will NEVER step foot in again and all my friends in the hood will understand why on next door. You all suck at food and don't deserve to be in business. read more

I'm a small person, and I ordered a small latte, for some reason it was the size of my hand..seriously the smallest I have ever seen. And for some reason it costed seven dollars? Usually I pay about four... just a mediocre coffee nothing special. If you like to feel ripped off in a coffee shop that doesn't allow dogs in Austin Texas then come here! Goes great with the theme of 2020. read more

Solid and welcome spot on the south end of South Congress. Great wine selection (forward thinking), great food options, and quality coffee. The Way Way Back patio is special lil area as well. Definitely going back! read more

After I received the comment below from one of Meteor's owners, I reached out via their website to apologize for misspeaking. The same person (Chris S.) wrote back and the exchange was very cordial. I offered the suggestion that they should display their pricing structure in the store/online in order to be more transparent. I hope the suggestion is implemented so no one makes the same mistake I did. read more

I discovered this place as a way to get my donut fix (Andy K only served at select brick and mortar locations in Austin). Initially, it was such a happy accident as my husband loved their coffee and we discovered artisanal style kolaches. We quickly became weekend regulars as a COVID safe place to grab a coffee/chai and a donut/kolache and sit on a patio. We raved about it and brought friends, but then in recent months we've had several (at least 5 disappointing experiences). The selection and quality of the kolaches has plummeted. They used to have a generous serving of some delicious filling, now they're mostly doughy bread with subpar fillings like potatos. The breakfast tacos were always mediocre at best (that's tough in Austin). Additionally, the selection of donuts took a nose dive back around Thanksgiving. But what really put this place on our "do not return" list was today's visit, where their delicious chai was replaced with some sort of syrupy chai and parking was impossible with not a good donut/kolache in sight. Not sure what happened? Pretty bummed about the changes, the place has a great vibe. read more

I went here a week or so ago. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was nice! I love the building! I enjoyed my time there but felt the coffee was a little pricey. A good spot for the hipsters. read more

This place is overpriced! I got the shawarma bowl and it was not good! I paid $13 for a bowl of just cabbage and maybe 3 tbsp of rice (if that). I do not recommend. read more

The coffee was served in a mug with a second serving in a small wine carafe on a tray with coasters. It was charming but not functional. The second cup of coffee gets cold long before you drink it. The biscuit is not served warm. A room temperature biscuit with cold butter isn't very appetizing. The space is beautiful and the counter staff were warm and inviting. I would give this place 5 stars if they fixed their breakfast snags. read more

I really loved this cute new coffeeshop/bike shop. Came in to work one Saturday afternoon and felt right at home. Came at a later date for pizza and wine and it didn't disappoint. Pizza is sold by weight so that was interesting. Definitely will be back!! Oh and the staff is so friendly read more

$7.50 for an undrinkable hot tea with a little steamed milk? What a joke. I was really hoping this would be my new cozy neighborhood spot removed from the typical south congress hubbub; instead it's an absurd monument to Cold Brew Culture; even speaking as a bougie hipster, I'm astonished. Last time I'll break a 10 to throw hot water in the garage. Don't think I can give it another shot due to the excessive pricing. When I asked about the price, I was told "we give you quite a lot of tea." The tea fog I ordered was with black tea, but it was so weak it looked like a white tea, and the drink was flavorless because of this. And they gave me the beverage in their small (12oz) to-go cup not even nearly full. Any way you look at it, this is not quite a lot of tea. read more

Such a cute new spot on Congress! I've only been for breakfast a few times but each time the coffee and avocado toast were delicious - they also have a decent natural wine selection too! Must try this place. read more

Holy sh*t great service, Prosecco, and food. All of the cheese. I don't know much about bicycles but I can tell you the food tastes like my Gigi's. Wicked nice staff. Chill & relaxing. Highly recommend this spot. The sign that said "champagne" got me to pull in. 5 stars! read more

I live across the street and this is the ideal go-to restaurant you want to have near you. Their wine selection is phenomenal and their food is to die for. I would highly recommend you go to this place if you value great dining experiences! read more

Terrible experience here. Well, it started off well. The people are very nice and the menu looked great for brunch. We ordered French toast, a few pastries, some drinks and a brunch pizza. They took our order and we found a seat and waited. Within a few minutes a lady came over and said the pizza will take approximately 15 minutes and if that was ok. I told her yeah that's totally cool. She then sort of pressed me to maybe make another selection but I really wanted to try the pizza so I insisted I would wait. 15 minutes isn't a very long time. After 15 minutes I started to wonder where it was. My family had already eaten their food as it came out fairly quick. So I started watching them in the kitchen since you can basically see everything they're doing. The lady making my pizza was sort of all over the place. She would work on the pizza then get distracted and do something else. This happened several times before she actually got the pizza in the oven. She kept checking the pizza to see if it was done and this happened maybe 5-6 times. Seems kinda weird that you don't know how long the pizza should take. But whatever I just wanted my food at this point. When she finally decided it was time to take the pizza out, she put it down on the prep station in front of her, and even from where I was sitting I could see the eggs were still raw on top. She obviously noticed that too and decided instead of sticking it back in the oven, she took a blow torch to it in an attempt to finish the eggs. Well it didn't work. When I got my pizza (30 minutes after ordering) the egg was still raw. I'm used to runny yolks but not the white part. It was completely raw still and was running all over the place. I was starving, my family is waiting on me so I decided to just scrape the junk off the top and eat the crust. The crust was barely edible. Almost like a rock. I noticed that they make the crust before making the pizza and that's probably why she took it out of the oven with raw eggs. She noticed the crust was being overcooked. While I'm gnawing on the crust, the same lady who cooked it came over and got our empty plates and glasses. While removing them she dumped the entire cup of maple syrup on my 9yr son and all over the floor. She didn't notice. We cleaned up our son and left the syrup on the ground. I started to go talk with someone but it was starting to get busy and I didn't want to make a scene. I wanted to write a review right there at that moment but I knew I was mad and I didn't want to be irrational so I waited a few days. Anyway, we won't be back. And I feel like the $48 I spent that day for just a few items was in no way worth it. read more

Oooof. I want this place to succeed. It's a great space. Service is good to inconsistent which is understandable for a new place. But what is it trying to be? A place for a peloton to finish their ride? Too many parking spaces and not enough safe places to put your bike. Serious cyclists don't carry bike locks. A pizza place? Easily the worst pizza on SoCo. A coffee shop? It's decent and WAAAAAAAAAY over priced. $4.50 for a 6 oz. cappuccino? Am I back in Manhattan? Here's a top tip for you manager and owners: drop the price to $3.75 and I won't be offended by your audacity and will have 2, enjoy myself, and come back again and again. The wine selection is nice. Have tried it twice and not sure I'll be back. read more

Love this place! Great wine selection and a nice outdoor patio that is pup friendly! Staff is also very nice and helpful in choosing wines. We tried their pizzas which were so good too!! read more

Good quality and fresh menu, BUT $51 for a breakfast ( lettuce salad, eggs, a piece of sausage, little hash brown , and a half avocado plus a coffee. For two ? $51 and not even a toast ? Again , good taste , but with $51 I can have a nice dinner at Enoteca or any good restaurant around with full service . Workers are very nice and clientele look very trendy upscale youngsters who like to show up . Very East Coast-ish Southern Cali-ish concept for Austin , but overall , it was good. Don't think it would be on my list to repeat , but wish them good luck as I saw it not too crowded for a Saturday morning and knowing their rent may be very high . read more
