Cafe Java

Great neighborhood spot! We had breakfast and everything was cooked beautifully. They also do lunch and dinner and had some great looking desserts.

Finally found an excellent diner in Austin. Ordered the chorizo border platter with side of avocado, bacon, and fruit. It was everything I could ask for and more.

I really enjoyed this place. My iced mocha was delicious & not too sweet. I also had 2 breakfast tacos & their homemade salsa. Both taste great & the salsa was medium spice level. I noticed they also sell their own coffee beans which I may try on my next visit.

I have been going to Cafe Java for years. It’s typically on a Saturday or Sunday morning, always packed and sometimes with a bit of a wait, but it is well worth it. It feels homey, familiar, and stylish. The service is great and speedy, and they offer merch and coffee if you need to take some home. Their food has NEVER disappointed in my years of going there. Their hashbrowns are always perfectly crispy, the pancakes are soft, and the service is always with a smile and conversation. I’ve had their burgers from time to time for dinner, and they do it well done - some of the best burgers I’ve ever had (which is crazy since they are not known for the burgers, and they have a limited amount each week). Don’t tell the new Austinites about this place.

Great eclectic iconic neighborhood restaurant! Breakfast is a must have!! Friendly staff, slight wait but so worth it.

I've been going here for years, and it's been great every single time. I love their flexibility, like when you want a dish, you can change anything about it and it's completely fine. When I went last I got the 2x2x2, but instead of French toast or a pancake, I got just toast on rye. This was a great alternative to something super sweet. I was also able to change out an egg for hash browns, and I've got to say, that their hash browns are amazing. Their bacon is also just super good. Their pancakes and French toast are also incredible, as well as their omelets. I also love how kid-friendly it is! The hot chocolate comes with whipped cream, sprinkles, and chocolate syrup. Their kids menu is super fun and it has some games on it, and they have a gumball machine out front.

100/10 recommend!!!

Very upbeat and busy. We had to wait for probably 30 minutes for a table but the atmosphere was very friendly while everyone waited. The server was very helpful and prompt. The daily specials were delicious though they did have a full menu. The coffee selection was too good. It was very hard to decide but all delectable.

This is the no frills breakfast you're looking for. Acts like a diner but has that old Austin vibe. Great espresso and coffee (they even gave us togo coffee after dining in) and everything on the menu is under $11. The ultimate migas were perfectly seasoned and are easily two meals. Bacon is exactly what you want and absolutely nothing to complain about on the rest of the items we got. This'll be our new standard breakfast place.

This is the slice of life Texas you want if you are visiting. Atmosphere is great, staff are fun and super friendly, food is outstanding (far better than chains) and eggs were top notch. Had the 2x2x2 and loved it. Couldn't finish it because it was enough for 2, but great none the less.

Highly recommend this place for a fun and memorable breakfast with real Texans.

Best pancakes ever. The food is consistently always good.

Wait staff so nice and breakfast was amazing. Biscuits and gravy special was so good. Homemade Biscuits that are buttery and crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside. Homemade hashbrowns are the best I've ever had. Everything we ordered was so good. Definite must have when visiting Austin.

We have been down to Austin four times since our daughter has moved here and have eaten at Cafe Java every time. The service, atmosphere, and food have never disappointed us. They always make us feel welcome, and we'll be back in November and will eat here again.

Our daughter just moved to Austin, and we were fortunate to find Cafe Java! My husband had steak and eggs both visits, and he said, "this is the best breakfast I have ever had!" I tried the Greek omelette and the breakfast tacos; both were excellent. And can we talk about the coffee? House blend is awesome, and today we tried a brew from El Salvador. (we bought two pounds to take home with us!) Chloe was a fantastic server, and the atmosphere has a relaxed and very welcoming vibe. You will be glad you came!

Excellent place for some brunch. Be prepared to wait, especially on weekends. We had a 30 minute wait but the food was worth it. Good portions with helpful staff and adorable prices. We all got the ultimate migas and loved it. Definitely will be going back.

The staff is always kind and helpful. If you're on the lookout for a classic diner, this his the spot. Lots of breakfast and lunch options. The coffee is AMAZING. Lots of variety and flavor. Nothing here is fancy so if you're looking for something gourmet, this is not it. However, for tasty comfort food and coffee, it's perfect.

We’ve been coming here for years, it’s a great little diner. The California is our favorite omelette, but they frequently have great specials as well.

They also used to have great pancakes - they might still but we don’t eat pancakes these days, too many carbs.

Also they have good breakfast tacos - nothing fancy, just the basics, but very tasty.

Highly recommend! Delicious coffee and food! Chloe was so helpful and friendly. The ultimate migas were amazing, and the chocolate pancake special was a hit. Variety of coffee beans for sale too.

Cafe Java is always a great experience. Great diner atmosphere and great service. For me it's the best breakfast in the area. Crispy corned beef hash, perfect hash browns and toast done right; on the griddle. On my most recent visit I hot the special. Meatloaf Monday. The meatloaf had good flavor and texture. Good gravy as well. The vegetables were in some sort of gravy as well. Tasted like a lite chicken gravy almost.

Update: returned again and tried a different breakfast dish. The 2x2x3. 2 sausage, 5 bacon and 3 eggs surved with fresh, sliced tomatoes. The tomatoes really made the dish.

Another great trip today. Western omelette was huge and fantastic.

Good service, great food. Ultimate migas are excellent.

First I gotta give a shout out to Lolli our server a big thumbs up, she was unbelievable, the smile on her face and the positive attitude. Usually when we go to a restaurant this busy the service is always OK, but she was quick and helpful as well as friendly

Coffee is not bad at all, food was served very quickly after we ordered, there was a bit of wait in the beginning but that’s all restaurant that’s busy

We enjoyed the meal will definitely recommend and come back
