Crema's Take

“Penelope's Cafe strikes that sweet spot between casual neighborhood gathering place and serious about their craft, where you'll find genuinely welcoming staff alongside thoughtfully executed drinks like their Golden Hour latte and matcha tea, plus brunch standouts like cilantro verde chilaquiles. The vibe is relaxed and photogenic without feeling forced, with ample parking and a menu that spans from traditional coffee drinks to creative specialties, making it equally good for a solo coffee session or lingering brunch with friends. Whether you're stopping by for a chocolate croissant or settling in for a full breakfast, the warmth of the place and the quality of what arrives at your table keeps people coming back.”

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Parking available.

I found this place thanks to a Tiktok while looking where to eat in Austin. The environment was very cute and calm. The food was delicious; I personally am not a fan of totopos as chilaquiles, but Chilaquiles were well prepared. Sergio was our server, he was kind and patience,…
