The Cenacle Coffee & BIstro

I do not recommend. Food quality and service poor, too pricey. Tried twice, will not come back.

Welcomento Atlanta! Or in this case Austell! In need of a breakfast lunch or early dinner location? Then Cenacle Coffee & Bistro is an absolute must see. Sonetta Gibbs and crew will treat you like family and the food is amazing.

My first visit here. Inside is clean. The parking lot was just a little confusing at first as normally you expect to pull into the front of an establishment but actually the front is closed off and the parking is in the back. Better catch that "parking in the back" sign or things will get awkward. Inside is very clean and nicely laid out. Everyone was smiling faces, it almost felt like I was in a Chic Fil A. Not a common thing in our area so this was very nice. The food is good but honestly a bit overpriced for what you get. I got the breakfast bowl with hashbrowns and after tax it was almost $15, should be more like $10 or $12 for the amount you get. But the food was delicious, so maybe I'll be back when finances allow for it. If you don't mind paying a little more for the food, this is a nice place.

So the hubby and I said let’s go out to lunch. So we found the Cenacle with good reviews and it was only 5 minutes away so we went. We got there at 2:15p. We were seated right away, our server came around 15 minutes later. We ordered our drinks, another 15 minutes goes by and we asked the waitress how long of a wait for our beverage, it was sitting at the bar, so she gave them to us. The waitress then took our food order. After waiting yet another half an hour ANOTHER waitress let us know that I guess the cook was cooking like one meal at a time. I mean it wasn’t crowded but the people at other tables were getting their food 1 at a time, like one person at the table would be finished with their food, another was halfway through and the other person at the same table didn’t have any food at all. So we made the decision to leave at 3:45p, we ordered 2 hot chocolates and 1 Arnold Palmer which came out to $15!!! I hope this was just a bad day considering the reviews are good.

What a pleasant surprise. The vegan was delicious.

Just stopped by for the first time to try this place out. Decided to go with a cup of shrimp & grits I believe it was $12.95.
The shrimp & grits were absolutely fire, this place has earned a customer for life atleast once or twice a month.
The server was great & friendly, the atmosphere was very laid back as well.

Hi. I love the Cenacle and have been a consumer of your business for years. I usually get the pasta salad, honey chicken biscuit, the turtle coffee beverage, or the wings. Lately, I don't know what's going on. I stopped by last Monday, September 23 and they were out of croissants and biscuits. Then, I stopped by on Wednesday, 10/2/2024, around 10 am and the building was completely closed...all of the lights were off. The Cenacle is 5 miles away from me...so I'm making a special trip to get service. Please let us know what's going on or stick to the hours of operation. There aren't any hours on the door but according to apple maps...7am to 3 pm daily are the hours of operation.

I had to leave a review before leaving! I was in search of a coffee shop to get some work done and I am so glad I stumbled upon this place. This is my first time dining here and I am looking forward to coming back regularly. From the warm greeting I knew this would be a great experience. My waitress Mimi was very kind and attentive ensuring I was satisfied from the very first bite! The meal was great and reminded of cooking back home.
I enjoyed my time here and I was able to take a few calls, send off emails and enjoy the calming atmosphere.
I think I have found my new fav cafe!

First time at this restaurant (Hubby and I ) and I must say we thoroughly enjoyed our food and the atmosphere. MeMe was GREAT with her service and explaining the breakfast choices.

I absolutely love The Cenacle! The food is so tasty and people here are always wonderful. It’s my go to breakfast spot now! I absolutely adore the fact that it’s Christian-based as well!

Ms. Sharonda, was more than excellent.
Beautiful smile along with great service.

5 Stars to her.

My partner and I just got done with a house tour near town and decided to stop somewhere new and get something to eat. This afternoon we dined with Meme! She was such a delight to us and was very helpful with making sure everything was perfect about our meal. My partner and I had the breakfast platter, biscuits and gravy and turkey bacon. The food was 10/10!!!! Amazing!! We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town and hopefully will get to be served by Meme again.
