Mary's Cafe is one of those little gems that makes Austin feel like Austin. It's quirky aesthetics are brought to life by a lively and fun crew working hard to make sure their customers leave with a smile. I left with a smile, a full belly, and some how hungry for more!! I had a vanilla iced latte. It tasted like coffee, with hints of vanilla and cream. Which is more than you ask for from most places. It was moderately priced and a good size for the large. It was definitely above average for a nice latte. In a city filled with banana foam lattes it's nice to get a well done basic vanilla latte. I ordered the pumpkin waffle, a season menu item. It was simply delightful. It had an almost caramelized crunch on the corners. The inside was fluffy and the pumpkin flavor was mild to moderate. If you love a flavor punch in the face this isn't your bag of beans but I'll get to that in a minute. This dish was all about the medley of fall flavors. The way the pumpkin, cinnamon sugar, and sweet cream cheese came together felt like a warm hug. It reminds me of coming in from a hard day playing in the snow to get a cuppa hot cocoa and nice piece of cinnamon toast from your mom. Now, for you punch-to-the-face flavor lovers I also got the Pimento Cheese Chicken Panini. It was saucy and smoky with a vibrant kick from the pickled onion. The pricing here is bang-on and very fair. If anything It's a little cheap for what you get flavor wise. It's an affordable cafe with perfect portion sizes for a good lunch that won't leave you feeling gross and may even have a snack for later. Both dishes were big enough for one meal I shared with my husband.

Mary's builds tasty waffles, sandwiches, and coffee with love. Their passion shows through in their food as everything seems to be made in house. When you order a sandwich with a fried egg, that egg is fried then and there. The space forever smells of fresh waffles. The coffee is wonderful and there is not a microwave in site.
As Austin's food scene continues to shift towards corporate cash grabs, Mary's represents a memory of a time when eateries were run by passionate individuals crafting food with love.

I’ve been coming here for years, always spending $20+ every visit and also tip, but after one of the workers made a remark about me bringing in a small outside item, I’m done. That’s crazy considering how long I’ve supported this place.
And honestly, you can’t even say it’s about “rules” — they don’t even have a vent hood. The whole place reeks of grease, and every time I leave, my clothes smell so bad I have to change or shower. That seems a lot more concerning than me bringing outside food.
If their prices weren’t sky-high, maybe I wouldn’t feel the need to bring something small. The food can be good, but it’s hit or miss lately — and between the smell, the attitude, and the price hikes throughout the years (customer service isn’t any better), it’s just not worth it anymore.

It’s expensive. Don’t believe the people who say otherwise. It’s not egregious For Austin, but it’s rough. Bright side isn’t the pleasant room, it’s the especially high food quality. Each item I had was prepared above my expectations. It’s like they understand and practice all the basics every time. You shouldn’t ever have a disappointing experience here. Well-made food. (I’ve been multiple times)

The Berry Tyler Moore waffle was awesome and was just the right amount of food my wife said. I tried the Shakerato and it was good, reminded me of a brown sugar shaken espresso. Would definitely like to come back and continue trying different items. The sandwiches look really good here.

I should have taken a picture but I was too busy eating the best chicken salad on planet Earth. The staff is extremely warm, I got to hear Britney Spears and Maroon 5 out in the wild. The Mary Street waffle tasted like churros. 15400/10 We will be frequently. Side note the coffee was also, fantastic.

Waffles were great and smoothies were good as well. Place is small so if come with a large party will be hard to sit. Would come again.
