The scoop

Monkey Nest Coffee is a laid-back neighborhood coffeehouse on Burnet Road serving organic, locally roasted coffee alongside a full breakfast-taco and sandwich menu. With a spacious interior and patio, it's a longtime North Austin gathering spot for laptop work, catch-ups, and grab-and-go breakfast.

Monkey Nest has operated as a neighborhood coffee shop in North Austin since 2011, building a following for its scones and daily-rotating single-origin coffees.
