New location is seriously so cute! Love the outdoor patio space, as well as the beautiful tile within the restaurant. Food as well as coffee is amazing- i've been eager to come to the new location, as this spot was my family's favorite. Can't wait to come back again ! read more

I definitely judged this book by its cover initially but I ate my words in the end. Place is located in a not so great neighborhood with homeless folk wondering around. We almost didn't stop in because of this but we found parking right away and said "screw it" the kids were starving after kayaking and SUPing. All the items we ordered were delicious and packed with flavor! We order at the counter and food was brought to our table. It took maybe 10-15mins for the food to come out and there was a decent amount of ppl there at about 3pm. We ordered the kids tenders, sesame chicken salad, and a burger all were made well and flavorful! read more

Stopped in for some breakfast and coffee. The restaurant has a really nice atmosphere. There's a large patio area to sit outside and enjoy on nice days. Employees were friendly and helpful explaining how everything worked. I ordered the breakfast sandwich on croissant and my boyfriend ordered the breakfast burrito. The food was delicious. We also ordered an iced chai and an iced matcha latte. The drinks could have been a little better. They tasted ok, but a little watered down. read more

What an adorable place, perfect for breakfast, brunch, coffee, and catching up with friends! I came here in a group of 4 at 9am on a Sunday, and there was a line but we didn't have to wait long. You order at the front, and they will give you a number and bring your food out to the table. This place offers classic brunch items, but also some Mexican inspired dishes, as well as a full cafe menu. Everything was HUGE. My bf ordered the breakfast burrito and it was the size of a pillow. My parfait came in a tall cup, and had two layers of granola, padded with fluffy yogurt drizzled with honey, topped with bananas. We also ordered the Horchata cold brew and the Lavender Coconut Cream cold brew. Both were very unique and delicious! I loved the light floral taste of the lavender cold brew, and the coconut cream was enjoyably thick. LOVE how the cup was probably twice the volume as what you'd normally get in California/Starbucks or whatever! There are plenty of covered outdoor seating, and the atmosphere is laid back and quaint. Service was fast and friendly! This place is definitely a hidden gem of Austin, recommended to us by a local, and it totally delivered! read more

Breakfast taco was great but coffees were a little bitter. Would recommend the food but go elsewhere for a coffee stop!

Ordered a chicken ceaser wrap and hot honey chicken sandwich. It took 45 minutes with no explanation. Lettuce tasted dirty, wrap was falling apart and chicken sandwich was cold. Disappointed read more

The food was amazing I was with a friend and ordered Bahn Mi and the Cubano sandwich. It was perfect to share both. The coffee is also a highlight.

Whatever you're looking for: snacks, breakfast, salads, etc, Cenote probably has it. I ordered the Grande Grilled Breakfast Burrito and this meal is not for the faint of heart. Just as its name states, this burrito is grande AF. You can eat half of it, and save the second half for later, or you can split this big guy with someone else. Even though this meal was hefty in size, it was diminutive in flavor for me. The burrito was actually bland without the salsa. The fries however... perfect. Will easily return to try what else Cenote has to offer. read more

Extremely disappointing. Overpriced and lower quality compared to the last location. Furthermore, my girlfriend and I were trying to enjoy our lattes at our seats and were asked to leave for another party, when there was ample seating available outside. Completely unacceptable to pay 50 dollars for a subpar meal and get kicked out. Will never return and would implore others to search elsewhere for quality experience read more

Absolutely delicious food! The ambiance is very cozy, you can sit indoor our outdoors. You truly get the "home" feeling while eating here. There was a line to place your order but service was extremely quick. I tried the breakfast burrito and they had a seasonal horchata cold brew! Delicious, I would definitely recommend read more

My coworkers had been raving about Cenote and their fried chicken chopper salad so I finally got around to trying it. Overall the area is a little sketchy but nothing to be too concerned about. There is parking for the restaurant down one of the side streets which we discovered after a little bit which was nice. There was a fairly large patio area where some people were working remotely and others sat to enjoy their food. The inside is a older, rustic style with darker finishes. Honestly not my favorite aesthetic or location but it did have a charm to it. Would have preferred maybe some more comfortable seating and lights. Food wise, I was surprised that the breakfast taco was the star of the show. Now $4.50 for a breakfast taco is quite expensive to me but I must say it was one of the best ones I have ever had. The tortilla was slightly crispy and the flavor of the chorizo and egg together were unbelievable. It had a unique and delicious taste and was pretty substantial for one taco. If you had a small appetite, 1 or 2 of these would leave you pleased. As for the salad, it was quite good as well. I appreciated the nice portion of chicken and the dressing was a creamy white sauce (not ranch) that complimented the dish well. My only complaint is the breading around the chicken would sometimes easily fall off and the breading itself was bit flour heavy. Besides that it was yummy! All the staff we spoke with were extremely nice and the 2 men working the front were doing a great job handling the business. I enjoyed Cenote and it has some great food. read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday cause they have a dog friendly patio. I was able to find street parking directly in front of the restaurant but I feel parking could be an issue if I weren't so lucky. Sadly dogs weren't allow inside so I had to wait for my friend to finish ordering at the counter to make my order. Their menus pretty extensive and the quality of food is amazing. I ordered the breakfast burrito and a cold brew coffee. The breakfast burrito was huge! But also f'ing delicious! I would definitely come back another time in a cooler weather to try other items on their menu. read more

The lox bagel was $15 and came with the most paltry topping I have ever seen. Two thin strips of lox on one side and two thin slices of tomato. The lox also did not taste fresh nor was the bagel well toasted. Pretty much everywhere else I've been in Austin for breakfast has better value and quality for money. I feel like I just paid $15 for a worse food experience than I'd have in my own home. The location and patio are nice but I don't see any reason I'd come back. read more

Yes!! This is a fun different food style - near the downtown area! You wait in line (cause it's order at the counter style) then as you approach the door your hunger increases... and you wait patiently for the moment when you can step inside to... wait some more/.. but finally you place your order, get a number for your table- snag a table down(lots of outdoor seating on 1 covered patios and one inside dining air conditioned area). Then your drinks are called (they have mimosas! At $12/half carafe!) and the food gets brought to your table. Fun vibe, the line moves cause there's ample seating and the food tasted good! All around a fun brunch experience! Enjoy! read more

Love this place. Great food. Fabulous coffees. And now exquisite adult drinks in the evening! Highly recommend!

This was my second time here and it's such a great coffee shop. It's main flaw is parking but I've either gotten lucky or have been able to find a spot fairly quickly each time. I've enjoyed their iced coffee, iced tea and Cubano. Depending on the weather, their outdoor space in the back is nice and I love the front porch area as well. For working remote, I appreciate how many plugs there are to charge your laptop. The WiFi was good for me (I didn't have any video calls while here). Highly recommend this spot whether it's to work remote or enjoy just for fun! read more

Great breakfast and cute vibe. The employees are always really nice. Would definitely go back

A great quick and casual lunch or coffee spot! It never disappoints! Their sandwiches and salads always hit. I got a half sandwich and salad combo on gluten free bread. It was great! Felt healthy and fresh, just what we were looking for! They have indoor, outdoor, and covered plant filled patio seating. It's a very cool spot! The patio will be super nice in the Fall, we'll be back for it! read more

Great atmosphere, nice outdoor seating. Avocado toast was very good, I had a fried egg on top. Also had an iced latte which was good. One friend of mine had the pork tacos, she said they were a little fatty for her taste. Another friend had the steak sandwich and commented that she would've liked it better if it had something else on the bread, not just the meat. Overall, nice place to stop and chill. Good vibes. read more

Here on vacation and feel like I time traveled back to the heyday of coffee houses. Great vibe, great coffee, fun spacious downtempo seating area. Plus after today, killer eats ( breakfast burrito) so good. Plus, also, any great coffee house has to have sweet tunes. Today was the greatest of the rockin 90's. Walk in here the and hear the Pixies, then Sublime, Blind Melon, Alice In Chains( wish it was,here comes the rooster, but denied). I also can't forget the very nice folks that help to make your morn glide by. The Crew. Very nice and helpful. Wish it was near my home base. read more

This Austin favorite is a gem I've been to many times, and is well overdue for a review. Although all are great, this Cenote location is by far my favorite simply for the quirkiness and character of it. The coffee is amazing. And they have breakfast and lunch options that are superb. We ordered a scramble and a cup of the soup of the day and both were phenomenal. The potatoes were super crispy as well, which is always important to me! I also love how they have a lot of local business items in there. They use local rockstar bagels for sandwiches and bagels, and have local kombuchas in the cold section to grab and go. We came on a weekday morning and it was actually very crowded and noisy inside. However we sat on the patio and it was SO quiet and could be the perfect place to work if you are looking for somewhere quieter. There were a few people working out there on laptops so I assume the wifi reached out there as well read more

I've been here twice now and I love the food. Portion sizes are great for the price and their seasonal menu is also fun to try new things from. Tried the Florentine with the horchata cold brew and it was really tasty. I brought my dog with me and they had plenty of outdoor space to sit with him. Parking was a little hard to find on a busy day. read more

Fun atmosphere with inside and outside dining options. The place is eclectic and you'll definitely notice the vibe when you walk in to order at the cashier. So casual and chill. But, there will likely be somewhat of a wait because it's Austin! I placed a fairly basic order, but I know some of the breakfast items are very popular. I liked my burger and fries. The burger was juicy and flavorful while the fries were the right consistency of firm with softness inside. The bun was fluffy and fresh. read more

Came here for breakfast and got the breakfast taco with chorizo which came with about 3-4 eggs with chorizo on top of a tortilla shell. It was pretty big and paired really well with a coffee. The chorizo gave it a little bit of flavor but otherwise the eggs were a bit bland so it really needed some salsa. I wish the cheese was melted more instead of just thrown on top. Overall a very filling dish for a low cost. read more

I came just to try their house-made chai and was not disappointed. The chai was a perfect balance of sweet and spice. I did add a little raw sugar because I have a sweet tooth, but would have enjoyed it without. The barista was accommodating to my requests and very friendly. The cafe itself was very cute. Kind of a hipster-vibe in a bit of a random area (in a neighborhood). A nice covered outdoor seating area and plenty of tables to hangout at. read more

Came here with a group of seven for breakfast before heading to Austin city limits. We had to wait in line for a little bit since they were busy but after 15 min ordered at the counter and easily found seating (they have ample seating inside and outside). The food did take a while to get out to us because they were busy but I feel like the portions and the quality were still worth it. I ordered a dirty chai latte for my drink which I didn't love, but the Cuban and half mango salad that I had were good and really hit the spot for something healthy but filling. With the environment that they have and the fact that you can get your drinks before your food we didn't mind the wait! read more

ugh. yes. Everything about this bagel was gorgeous. I got the cheddar jalapeño bagel and it came with cream cheese, onion, tomato, capers, and lox. I have mixed feelings about tomatoes- sometimes I like them and sometimes I don't but today, I love them. They went so well in this bagel. Stupid good. Super filling. ‍ read more

A chill brunch spot in East Austin with a fast serving system! We arrived at Cenote on a Sunday morning around 10am. Parking was not the easiest, but once we were in line to order things were a breeze. It's the type of place where you order before you find a table (line moves pretty fast). Once we had our order in, we grabbed some water and a seat on the patio. Our food came out SO fast once we had sat down! Wow. We had a small group and tried: - Migas - amazing, very fresh, could have used 1 more tortilla - Eggs Benedict - yummy, served over biscuits with bacon and eggs and their own spin on sauces - Apple butter pancakes - a little dry without any additional butter but the perfect treat to share among us - Cenote Scramble - goat cheese & eggs & arugula made for a very fresh entree read more

Cenote is my FAVORITE brunch spot in ATX! Here's my two cents: Food: Fresh and delicious. They have a fairly extensive menu with all the breakfast favorites you could possibly ask for. I went for a traditional breakfast (eggs and bacon) and was very happy with my decision. And of course, a mimosa to wash it all down! Service: You order and receive your food at the counter. The staff is very friendly. We visited on a Saturday and it was VERY busy (stood in line for about 25 minutes). If you plan to come over the weekend, make sure you give yourself enough time! Ambiance: there are indoor and outdoor seating options available (and it's all open seating!). The outdoor area is so nice. The restaurant is surrounded by lush gardens (so pretty) which does unfortunately attract bees in the summer time. That's truly the only negative I can think of. We will be back! read more

Delicious Hearty Breakfast! Food sometimes takes a bit- their kitchen is small. But good things come to those who wait.. or call in ahead for pick-up! Had a group of 6 and we ate there 2 mornings in a row while staying downtown near Rainey street. Will definitely be back! Thanks for the great grub! read more

This is a great place to hang out and study. There's wifi and indoor/outdoor seating. Parking is a hassle you have to park near the church on a gravel lot and there's not that much parking on the day to day. The inside ambiance is very dark and moody and gives off true austin vibes. I got the hot honey chicken sandwich and it was just okay. The breading is panko which is supposed to feel lighter than the typical dredge batter but it just left me wanting something a bit more. read more

First morning in Austin and we were searching for coffee near the air bnb and found Cenote. I went in for 2 coffees to go. Iced lavender latte and cold brew. You order at the counter and wait for your items around the corner. I enjoyed my lavender latte. They serve food here as well. I did not have the opportunity to come back and get food as I had so many places on my list for Austin and so little time. Definitely a great place for coffee and breakfast/brunch. read more

Great brunch spot in East Austin. Visited for the first time on a sunny Saturday morning, and there was plenty of seating outside on the patio/backyard area (also plenty of shady seats if that's more your style). Although there was a bit of a line (~10 min. wait to place an order from the line to the street), the staff moves rather quickly (thank you)! I had the chilaquiles (~$12, which seems to only be on the weekend menu) and a house roast coffee (~$3), and I'd definitely get them both again. They've got an extensive menu, so plenty of other options to try as well. Will definitely be back. As with most of the spots in East Austin, make sure you look around for street parking within the surrounding blocks because you're unlikely to find something right outside. read more
