📊About CAFE 290
CAFE 290 reported mixed-beverage sales at 2600 W 2ND ST, TAYLOR, Texas 76574 in Williamson County. Its last reported month was August 2026, at $3,147. The Comptroller record stops there. A stopped filing is not proof of closure — when a bar changes hands the new owner files under a new taxpayer and location number, so the old record goes quiet while the doors stay open.
Across its filing history this location reported $40,651 over 18 monthly returns, March 2025 through August 2026 (2025 – 2026). That is a lifetime sum, not a monthly figure — the two are separated everywhere on this page. Its strongest single month on record was May 2025, at $3,148.
The Texas Comptroller records the mixed-beverage responsibility for this location as having ended on 2026-08-17. That is the state saying the permit period closed, which is stronger evidence than a simple gap in filings — but it still describes a permit, not a front door.

📈Monthly Receipts, March 2025 – August 2026
18 monthly returns filed by CAFE 290. Months with no filing are absent from the series rather than plotted as zero — a missing month means the venue did not file, which is not the same as reporting nothing. A month that was filed with no receipts is a real filing and is plotted, on the baseline and marked, because that too is a different fact from either of the other two.
Monthly Revenue by Category
18 months of data • Hover or tap to explore3 of these 18 months were filed as a return reporting no receipts — plotted on the baseline and ringed, because a filed $0 return is a real filing, not revenue. Months with no return filed at all are not in this series: the line skips them rather than dropping to the baseline, so a gap in filing never reads as a month of zero sales.
Annual Comparison
Calendar-year totals as filed. A year with fewer than 12 filed months is marked — a part-year total is not comparable to a full one.
📅Year by Year
Calendar-year totals as filed. A year-over-year change is shown only where both years are effectively complete — comparing a full year against a four-month stub would be a fabricated collapse.

❓Frequently Asked Questions
- Is CAFE 290 still open?
- The Texas Comptroller records the mixed-beverage responsibility for CAFE 290 as having ended on 2026-08-17, with its final return filed for August 2026. That is the state stating the permit period closed, which is the strongest closure signal in this dataset — but it describes a permit, not a front door. Its last month with receipts was August 2026, at $3,147. A stopped filing is not proof of closure — when a bar changes hands the new owner files under a new taxpayer and location number, so the old record goes quiet while the doors stay open.
- How much does CAFE 290 make? (August 2026)
- CAFE 290 reported $3,147 in mixed-beverage gross receipts for August 2026, +0.0% against July 2026 and +33.0% against August 2025. That is a single month, not an average: over its whole reported history the venue has filed $40,651 across 18 months. This is mixed-beverage (alcohol) receipts only, not total business revenue.
- What were CAFE 290's sales over the last twelve months?
- CAFE 290 reported $25,964 in mixed-beverage receipts over Sep 2025 – Aug 2026 (12 of 12 months filed, 3 of them a zero-receipt return).
- Where was CAFE 290 located in TAYLOR?
- CAFE 290 filed mixed-beverage returns for 2600 W 2ND ST, TAYLOR, TX 76574, in Williamson County. The address is taken from the venue's filings, the most recent of which covers August 2026.
- What did CAFE 290 sell?
- Over September 2025 – August 2026 (the last 12 reported months), CAFE 290 reported 15% liquor, 2% wine, 9% beer and 0% cover charges, with 73% reported as a total with no category breakdown. The largest share was receipts not broken down by category. Only alcoholic beverage sales and cover charges are reported to the Comptroller — food sales are not in this dataset.
- Is CAFE 290 busy? How does it rank among Austin bars?
- This dataset tracks mixed-beverage receipts, not foot traffic, so there is no direct measure of how busy CAFE 290 is. The closest proxy: by receipts reported for August 2026, CAFE 290 ranked #1807 of 2025 Austin-metro venues that filed for that month, and #8 of 10 venues in ZIP 76574. A higher-ranked venue sells more alcohol in a month; it is not a measure of how crowded it is at any given time, and that is a single month's rank, not a lifetime one.
- What time period does the CAFE 290 data cover?
- 18 reported months, March 2025 through August 2026. Mixed-beverage receipts publish about three to four weeks after a month closes; the newest month currently published for the Austin metro is August 2026. Every figure on this page names the exact window it covers, because a single month, a trailing-twelve-month total and a lifetime sum are three different quantities.
- Where does CAFE 290's revenue data come from?
- The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts publishes Mixed Beverage Gross Receipts, a monthly record every Texas mixed-beverage permit holder is required by law to file. This page reads that dataset directly and adds no estimates, no modelled figures and no user reviews.
ℹ️How to Read This Page
What mixed-beverage gross receipts are
Every bar, restaurant and venue in Texas holding a mixed-beverage permit must report its monthly alcoholic-beverage sales to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. Those returns cover liquor, wine, beer and cover charges. They do not cover food, retail or non-alcoholic sales, so these figures are a slice of a venue's business, not its revenue.
Why every number here names a window
A single month, a trailing-twelve-month total and a lifetime sum are three different quantities, and averaging a venue's whole history produces a number that has never been true of any actual month. Each figure on this page therefore carries the exact period it covers. Where a comparison needs history this venue does not have — a full prior year, two complete twelve-month windows, three complete calendar years for a seasonal index — the comparison is omitted and the reason is stated, rather than shown as a zero.
How current is this?
Receipts publish about three to four weeks after a month closes. The newest month currently published for the Austin metro is August 2026, and every recency judgement on this page is measured against that month rather than against today's date — so a late publication by the Comptroller never changes a venue's status. CAFE 290 last filed for August 2026, which is that frontier month.
What a stopped filing does and does not mean
A stopped filing is not proof of closure — when a bar changes hands the new owner files under a new taxpayer and location number, so the old record goes quiet while the doors stay open. A gap can also be a remodel, a seasonal close, a permit transfer or a slow filer. This page never states that a business is closed; it states when it last filed.
