    Solid breakfast tacos. On the pricier side but the quantity is great and everything tastes fresh. You pay for the atmosphere - located in a renovated house on the east side with a great outdoor space.

    $2 PBR tallboys all the time (and 12oz Lone Stars). Great coffee. Sandwiches aren't bad. Nice patio, great place to bring your dog, hang out, and/or get some work done. Free WiFi. Lots of outlets.

    Beautiful coffee shop on the east side. The coffee is great and the breakfast tacos are 👌👌. They also serve alcohol. It's a must-visit if you're in the area.

    Full menu with mostly mexican snacks and beer/wines - breakfast tacos, chilaquiles, and burritos were on spectacular, came out hot and spiced perfectly!!!! Line goes down the block, but its worth it!!

    Quality food and coffee packaged in a modern, hip space. Huge patio, ambient lighting indoors, and long lines for brunch on the weekends. A bit pricey but worth the splurge!

    Great sandwiches (with gluten free bread option). I had the flank steak it was fresh and flavorful with a really tasty mustard. Definitely worth a check for eating on their outdoor terrace.

    The Migas 50/50 breakfast taco is outstanding. The tortillas are the star. The roasted salsa, the perfect accompaniment.

    The Best Guacamole. Also, the taco plate comes with two tacos, which can be mixed and matched. Good arugula salad is the side.

    Great space to meet a friend or to get some work done - cozy yet spacious. Excellent coffee (cuvée, handsome), beer (on draft especially) and wine list too.

    Cenote is a quiet coffee shop in East Austin that also offers beer. What more do you want? Park on the side street and enjoy a chai latte that's actually not too hot to drink.

    GREAT gluten free bread for stellar sandwiches, which were huge! Got some good pour over. Cute setting, great patio, could be a tad less grunge inside. Over all good experience.

    The Cenote/Juju Juice cohabitation is like your best friend dating somebody who ends up being just as cool. And you spend a lot of time at their place. But they like it. Friendship.

    Happy hour from 4-7p weekdays is incredible. Try the ribs or corn on the cob for a hefty, cheap, delicious snack.
