    Great place for not only delicious coffees and teas etc, but the sandwiches and hot snacks are delicious!! We tried a sandwich, empanadas, quiches and a sweet treat! Everything was great. And there's plenty of seating inside, for chatting or working. We love coming here.

    My dentist is just down the street and I had been wanting to stop in for the longest time and finally had the opportunity to do so. I was not disappointed at all. You know the place is good when there's a line, amiright? With that said, the line moved efficiently when I was there. The pastries they offer are crazy-good. I love a properly made scone and they nailed it! The coffee is also super good. The Wildflower Lavender Latte was probably one of the best I have ever had. The shop itself has a warm and welcoming decor and vibe. It will now be my mission to treat myself here each and every time I leave the dentist. Because, come on, we all deserve something good after a dental visit.

    Empanadas

    I've been here several times the quality is always top notch so many different items that change so you've always get something new plenty of seating on the inside little patio on the outside. The quality is here very good.

    Such a great coffee shop with parking and plenty of seating inside The owner was so kind and the menu is great- so many different flavors to choose from for your coffee and so many fun creative pastries! Lovely little spot for a coffee and treat

    Espresso shake
    Razi A.

    There was a random coffee shop in North Austin far away from the rest of our tourist things that has the most exquisite liquid blended espresso chocolate or vanilla shake. This thing is blended for so long, it is a perfect liquid with zero ice pieces that you can drink with a tiny straw. Packed with bold espresso and thick chocolate ice cream, it is the best drink for a drive back to Houston. No one blends like this. Why don't we have this in Houston :( alas.

    Mocha and matcha
    Roshini T.

    Cute coffeeshop on Burnett! The mocha was perfectly sweet and the matcha latte had a good flavor profile. Definitely a great neighborhood coffeeshop to frequent with ample seating and outlets to work as well.

    Monkey Nest hits every single time. I've been coming here for a couple of months and have never been disappointed. Their seasonal and rotating drinks are perfect and their ingredients are perfect. Coming to read to a book and sipping a cold drink on these hot days have made most of summer manageable!

    Breakfast taco (wrapped up like a little burrito).  Very good.

    They don't monkey around here. The coffee is excellent. There are stuffed monkeys everywhere and lots of monkey puns on the coffee menu. I'm not sure why they love monkeys so much but, honestly, who doesn't love monkeys? If the coffee is great, I'm good with it. We loved our drinks and we also got a breakfast taco that was very good. They've got cookies and other pastries and everything looked really good. No outside seating but plenty of indoor seating. The environment is inviting and funky. Who knew Austin had such great coffee?

    Bacon Apple Grilled Cheese
    Chelsea L.

    Cute coffee shop with (not real) monkeys! They have a drink line and a food line. You can order from a tablet there and they'll call your name. I thought the empanada was really small but it actually filled me up for breakfast. Also got Monkey's Uncle. You can order drinks iced or hot. Ordered lunch to-go and really just wanted sandwiches but they l came as meals (with chips and a drink). I don't normally eat chips but the chips are actually super delicious! The bacon apple grilled cheese is really tasty. Wi-Fi works really well and there are outlets, so it's a great spot to get some work done. Quite a few parking stalls outside.

    Brandon D.

    Not sure how this place got so many good reviews. As you can see in my picture that they barely put any espresso in their drinks and the customer service was awful! The guy that took our order was extremely cold and more interested in talking to his coworkers than taking our order. Will never come back!

    Monkey Muffin
    Mariel T.

    It was.. fine? I remember this spot being a go to in college with decently priced coffee/food but alas it hasn't lived up to what I remembered. The monkey muffin was a fun take on monkey bread with a muffin bottom. The lavender latte had to much syrup for my preference that I had to let the ice water it down before I deemed it drinkable. If I'm in the area, maybe I'll go again, but I won't go out of my way!

    Allie H.

    Super friendly service at this spot. Definitely would come back if I was close by but coffee didn't stand out enough for me to go out of my way to come back. Was good but not super memorable

    Decent ambiance with a fun idea for a business. The coffee and bakery items were good, but not the best we've had in Austin.

    Ask the Community - Monkey Nest Coffee

    What hours can u order the Breakfast Tacos?

    Do they blend their specialty lattes like frappe, if we ask?

    Yes, they can mix it up :)

    Do they have decaf iced coffee?

    We don’t have a cold brew that is decaf but we can do almost any other drink decaf. An iced decaf americano would be the closest to the iced coffee!

    Do they have lavender lattes?

    Yes we do!

    Perfect spot for late-night tacos!…read more The best part is that they have great vegetarian options, including both paneer and tofu tacos, and both are absolutely delicious. It's not always easy to find flavorful vegetarian tacos, so this place was a pleasant surprise. I loved it so much that I ended up visiting twice during my two-day trip to Austin. If you're in the city, this place is definitely worth checking out!

    Right next to Punch Bowl Social, good spot for a meal or snack. There is a good amount of seating,…read morebut the tables are pretty close together. Some tables could use a cleaning in between guests, but it was fairly clean. You order your food at the counter and they call you when it is ready. I ordered the grilled steak taco, rotisserie chicken taco and special taco of the week (pork dumpling smash taco). We also ordered the elote and queso to share. The elote was good, but very creamy and a bit heavy. The queso was good but tbh I prefer Torchy's. The grilled steak taco was a bit underwhelming, I wanted it to have more flavor, it just tasted like beef and cheese. The chicken had good flavor and the special weekly taco was enjoyable and interesting, not like any taco I have had before. There is plenty of variety for people including those with dietary restrictions. My friends ordered two tacos each and I was full after 3 tacos so if you are not a big eater stick with two.

I got the grilled fish taco and doña Reyna taco - the portion is very good! It's freshly made so do expect to wait 15-20 mins but it's very worth it! The grilled fish taco comes with a big piece of avocado and the doña Reyna taco has a good amount of chicken and the sauce is very flavorful! They'll ask for a phone number at the register and they'll call your name / text you when your order is ready. They have a great indoor and outdoor dining area!

    I had so many food targets to hit in Austin and this one didn't make my priority list for lunch/…read moredinner but I ended up coming here for a breakfast taco and really liked it! It's a small chain in Austin that started from a food truck of two women from Veracruz. Interestingly enough, the cashew based queso here is the default so people with nut allergies- watch out! I was told it was not made in house by the restaurant and I ended up not trying it. I ended up getting the El Diferente taco, while the women at the counter recommended the Furioso. I chose it because I preferred pinto beans to black beans. I added thier salsas that were creamy and it was delish with poblanos in it. The tacos sounded really simple to me from the descriptions but I ended up really enjoying the one I had for breakfast! My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

I ordered 2 steak tacos and horchata, both very delicious. The horchata is milky and sweet but not crazy sweet, and topped off with cinnamon. The steak tacos came out pretty hot, fresh from the grill. I got them on corn tortillas and I'm glad I did: idk if they make them in house but somebody in some house is making these because they definitely aren't store bought, and if they are I want to know where! I tried the orange habanero and creamy serrano salsas. The habanero was spicy off the bat, while the serrano had more of a lingering burn. Both paired well with the steak. They have a little bar, too, though I did not imbibe this time. Seems like they have a decent selection of agave spirits, and even Campari behind the bar (iykyk). Give them a shot, and thank the ladies in the kitchen.

Decided to come in and the cashier greeted us and was really nice and patient because of questions with the menu. The Taco Bueno is what I had ordered and requested no potato.
