New Coffee Truck Cenizo Opens in Austin | Eater Austin

"A new coffee truck in southeast Austin opened for daily service beginning May 6 and operates 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.; it sits on a large plot with an outdoor gathering area, games, and a custom-built tree house. The menu focuses on quality coffee and local partnerships, offering classic espresso drinks like Americanos, lattes, and cappuccinos alongside coffee, tea, Italian sodas, and pastries such as croissants, cookies, scones, and cinnamon rolls. The owners highlight Mexican-inspired beverages that reflect co-owner Nancy Aguirre’s heritage, including an iced horchata latte and a cafe de olla—an espresso-based drink made with spiced syrup and milk. Drinks are served in compostable packaging, the truck uses a reverse-osmosis water filtration system, and espresso beans come from Talisman Coffee, an Austin-based, family-run operation sourcing beans from a farm in Matagalpa, Nicaragua and roasting stateside. Branding was created by Austin designer Meg Burk, and the company’s name is inspired by the cenizo plant (Texas sage); this is the owners’ first hospitality venture." - H. Drew Blackburn
