I highly recommend visiting Cafe Nena'i if you want to enjoy a delicious coffee in the morning and indulge in a delightful South American breakfast treat. During my visit, I tried their Cafe Con Leche and absolutely loved it. Additionally, their Pollo empanada was very delicious, filled with ample amounts of meat, complemented by a flavorful sauce and a tasty dough. And to top it off, the Alfajor was simply delightful.
Overall, my experience at Cafe Nena'i was excellent, and I believe any coffee and food lover will thoroughly enjoy their visit to this charming cafe.
what a quaint little cafe! the charm is off the charts here and on top of that they have delicious empanadas, pastries, and coffee. what a delight, make sure you stop in and give this gem a try!
Great little cafe. We enjoyed the empanadas and the alfarjos! The location is far out, but it’s super cosy and nice. It is a small cafe and only two people working there so the serving time is small. Authentic experience.
Let me start by saying that this place is underrated. This is a beautiful little south American coffee joint, very clean, amazing interior decor, fantastic empanadas and mind-blowing Cuban coffee. The place is run by one of the best people you can ever talk to, she is amazing. I'll suggest everyone to give this place a try and give Starbucks a break for once. I can't wait to come back. Repeating the fact that the empanadas are amazing and you must try it. They have a big table for groups, they have Hugh chairs and outdoor seating too. Parking is free and accessible and it isn't very crowded, that's a good thing but again that also means not a lot of people know about this amazing place. Highly recommended and must try if you are in Austin. This place deserves more reviews.
Super super cute decor. Clean and cozy.
The baked goods are made fresh daily.
There are so many authentic south American treats here I can't wait to bring my parents here when they visit.
It's awesome to see a mother and daughter running such a homey Cafe.

A total hidden gem! Beautifully crafted, delicious pastries, yummy coffee and the empanadas are so good we had another. Very authentic feel. Will definitely be back.
I'm visiting from good ol Atlanta, and I wish we had this shop there. It's a small shop but powerful with all they do. From the boldness of the coffee to the pure delight you get from eating the pastries. Add on exceptional service and this is the spot to go! Highly recommend
We really enjoyed the food. We've gone multiple days in a row during our stay. Elena is so sweet, cheerful and kind. She made us feel so welcome and filled our tummies!
We tried Cafe Nena’i for the first time and are already looking forward to coming back! The cortadito was smooth, rich, and sweet. We also really enjoyed the empanada de pollo with their chimichurri (very flavorful and lots of meat), arepa (very fluffy dough), bollo con guava (great balance of guava and donut), and factura de guayaba y queso (our favorite pastry). The staff were also very kind and welcoming! There’s a good amount of parking spaces around the building too.
A great cafe tucked away in southern east Austin! I received great service, my Americano was great, and my pastry was nice and flaky. It has an inviting and warm atmosphere and you're sure to feel at home here.
De Pollo is pretty good. The store has limited seats.
Cafe Nena'i (pronounced ne-na-ee and not ne-nai) is a wonderful place and Elena is a wonderful host who is willing to talk with customers who understand and respect the difficulties facing a small business during these times.
Ordered various empanadas, croissant mixto ( ham/cheese), & mate cocido. The dough is one of the best empanada doughs I have ever eaten anywhere and the croissant was amazing. Any critiques I have I feel Elena would take care of them.
We had jamon and queso empanadas—I wish we would’ve purchased more, they were so delicious. Very friendly. Cute spot, but made more for take out.
I've been wanting to try this place out, and it did not disappoint. I loved my breakfast (coffee and a yummy pastry that was recommended by the owner) so much that I grabbed a fancy canned soda and a spinach and cheese empanda to go. It's such a cute little spot, will def revisit again.
I enjoyed my experience here. It’s got a Latin energy. Empanadas and some other staples. I had a simple cafecito - espresso and sugar. It was good! Service was quick and friendly. I’m looking forward to stopping in again.
Best cuban caffe in town . Super friendly staff and beautiful shop. Love their empanadas and guava pastry. Since my first visit and had gone back multiple times now.
Sabroso cafe cubano y exlente servicio.
The coffee is delicious, the croissant is the perfect amount of crispy, flaky, and buttery, and once you combine all of that with the ham and cheese you've got a winner!
There are some tables outside you can sit at or you can order for pickup. If you're staying at an AirBnB in this area, then this is the place you gotta try.
Excellent, good ambiance . Arepas are delicious . Café and chocolate are so good .
The staff very friendly . Definitively need to go again when I come back to Austin .
Very good desserts and cocido, a sweet hot drink with mate. The owner Elena is great, very friendly. Try the empanadas and the chipa guazu.
