Cafe Java

Love this place. This is my go to place for brunch and it is the best in Austin. It usually gets crowded though so expect a wait of 20-30 mins on weekends. The servers are really nice and friendly and they work real hard to maintain that old style diner atmosphere where you actually get a check that you take to the cashier and pay. Food suggestions - the Cajun chicken sandwich and the short stack of pancakes are my go to with a cup of black coffee. Check it out once and trust me you will fall in love.

Roasted coffee smell greeted us upon entry. Small hole in the wall has fast turnover despite a line forming in front. It took us under 10 minutes to be seated. Fresh coffee beans sold up front. I ordered the Java (2 eggs, 2 sausages, 2 bacons, toast, tea) while hubby settled for the pancake platter with Philly cheese omelette. Enjoyed our brunch, the eclectic south western art decorating the walls, and the fact that this place provides organic ketchup (Hunt's)!

Really reasonable price with good quality. They provide different variety of foods. I really enjoyed the egg sandwich with the American cheese which comes with hashbrown on side. I also tried the French Toast which I loved it, because it wasn't very sweet.

Went for brunch on Sunday and everything we ordered was delicious!

Not sure what the fuss is about. Perhaps I didn't order what they're well known for? There's always a long wait at this place so I thought it must be really good. It's small and crowded. Service was excellent though and the staff were really nice. Food is ok.

Down to earth vibe, not pretentious. If you come on a weekend brunch hour, waiting time could be pretty long and inside waiting area could be a little crowded. So check this lovely local restaurant on a not so rush hour if you can. Love their breakfast food, tacos are amazing.

I have been eating here for 20 years. Food is always amazing and the restaurant is always extremely efficient. On the weekends ther is always 20+ people waiting to get it. Don't be scared it is worth the wait.

Delicious food and excellent service!

Excellent breakfast all day. A little busy for seating in the morning but fast service and delicious food when you get in. Great for lunches too

Edit: During the week, seating isn't bad at all!

How am I just writing this? A family favorite of ours. We’re here a few times a month for breakfast. Busy but worth the wait and service is friendly and fast. Our favs- huevos rancheros w hashbrowns extra crispy, buttermilk pancakes (best in Austin), cinnamon roll, eggs Benedict (Sunday special only), french toast, egg sandwich, house blend coffee (we even bag the beans to brew at home). Breakfast and lunch menu all day, with dinner special rotation (see FB page for chalkboard specials each day). Family friendly, local, tasty, clean, friendly, local art, etc.!
