Easy Tiger Bake Shop & Beer Garden at The Linc is a popular spot in Austin, known for its all-day brunch and sprawling 150-seat beer garden with an outdoor stage. The place offers a variety of dishes like corned beef-and-potato hash and Tandoori chicken salad, as well as artisanal breads made in-house daily.
Great space! Big, picnic table style, great shareable food options, great coffee and drinks. They have trivia night at 7pm Monday and Wednesday. Tuesdays at 7pm, they have music bingo which is so much fun! They’re having an October fest celebration with events at their locations. Love this place.

We visited the place for a private event. The area has a wide space patio with umbrellas that make a park like experience. The food was served nicely decorated in platters. We just tried appetizers and the combination of them was good. The chicken on the sandwich was juicy and tasty, fried but soft. This time, the main attraction was the pretzels combined, with charcuterie. I would recommend adding some type of covers for the food while it’s out. It’s a nice place go a good weather afternoon.

First time at Easy Tiger caffe and we were impressed. Super cool space! It's perfect for families with kids or solo because there is so much outdoor seating. The avocado toast was the blast and waffle fries were delicious as well as the kielbasa and sausage. Chocolate brownie and chocolate chip cookie was perfect addition for dessert. Good drink menu. Really cool atmosphere and vibe and very friendly staff! Highly recommended!
Kristina B — Google review
Great place for Sunday brunch. We have usually come in the evening, but were surprised by the depth of the breakfast menu. The pastrami and egg sandwich with a latte to wash it down hit the spot. No trip to a beer garden is complete without a nice sausage. Highly recommend for any time you are craving a fun time out.
Garrett B — Google review
Fun spot with great breakfast/brunch items. The French toast bites are great, as are any of the egg croissant sandwiches (my favorite being the guacamole and bacon). Lots of comfortable space inside and outside, with space heaters for the patio in colder months. I love the soundtrack - lots of artists I haven't heard before (and many that even Shazam can't figure out). Several board games, billiards, ping-pong tables and corn hole throw for group activities. Fun spot for events!
Jordan P — Google review
Horrible service. I ordered an avocado toast. The toast was burned (charred black throughout), initially I thought it had a layer of black beans until I took one bite and tasted pure charcoal. So I patiently and calmly waited for the lady at the counter to finish what she was doing on the side, and requested a new toast. She was obviously not happy and when she brought me a new one she slung it on the table and when I thanked her just ignored me and left with a huff. I will never go back. The second toast was also obviously thrown together and not had some burnt spots. In addition, she asked me with obvious shortness if “do you want it toasted or just plain”, as if to tell me that I don’t understand what toasted means.
Joumana A — Google review
First time here. Outside seating was comfortable and spacious. It took a while for our server to make his way around and he was not that attentive to the table. The food took a while to arrive. The pretzel was ok. Nothing special. It would be better heated up. All the sides were cold. I was expecting at least warm to hot cheese with it. I got the burger and it was cooked well done when I asked for medium. It tasted ok but very messy.
Flash P — Google review
Ok so this place is the real deal. We can start off with the fact that this is a tremendous bakery. At street level this is what you see when you walk in. Down the stairs is a cozy dining area and bar. The architecture is unique to the original building and adds to the overall ambience. Service is excellent and they also have outdoor ping pong and many tables to sit at. The bar is great and has everything you could desire. The food, however, is amazing. The pastrami is crispy and juicy at the same time. It has a slightly smokey flavor in addition to the traditional pastrami flavor. The sweet island sauce is a great complement to the excellent home baked rye bread. The German Board comes with the bar cheese, kraut, homemade mustard, a brat, and a couple of pretzels. I also ordered the venison jalapeno sausage and it was out of this world. It brings the heat so make sure to have a pint of 🍺 to wash it down! This place was filled with locals, always a good sign. If you have issues with stairs (see pics) you might have a problem getting to the basement. It's only one flight but they are steep. Do not miss this place!

I had to come back for these cinnamon rolls with no icing although I don't need them..This seems like a good bakery overall with great cakes, pies ,cookies, cupcakes and other pastries... Upper Crust also has great coffee ☕ with soups,salads and sandwiches
Ray S — Google review
Just know: It’s all downhill from here. My coworker bought me a cinnamon roll and I took a look at it thinking “what is this basic thing before me with no icing? We shall call you ‘Karen’.” I thought it was gonna be one of those fluffy dinner rolls-like cinnamon rolls. BUT NO! I took a bite and was surprised that I bit into a deep fried churro-like, fried croissant-like, deep dish pan pizza-like, cronut-like devilish concoction that was slightly oily with every bite and covered in cinnamon sugar. What the hell?! WHAT THE HELL!?!?!!!! It’s all downhill from here. I have to try everything else, but that is a 5-star cinnamon roll.
Valerie — Google review
The kind of bakery and café every neighborhood should have. I had the green salad— wonderfully fresh ingredients and a house made balsamic vinaigrette. along with a generous made just right tuna salad. I took a slice of coconut cream pie to go -perfection! Just the right amount of sweetness. You can also pre-order bread — they have sourdough which is a challenge to find here. Their prices are very reasonable and I also appreciate the friendly service!⭐️

I am a giant fan of Uppercrust bakery! My favorite is cinnamon roll and coffee combo! Hands down best cinnamon rolls I have ever had. Staff is almost always friendly and curtious. Make sure you get there early they do sell out of some items. You can't go wrong with any of the baked items or items on menu/board. Only down side is parking can be a little tight and not always table available, but more reason to take to go and enjoy at the park!

This was my first time ordering a cake at this bakery and it exceeded my expectations! I ordered a custom design Gateau Marisa cake and it came out so perfect. Everyone loved it! Decoration from the inspiration I gave them was spot on and it was so delicious. We will definitely be ordering from here again for other events!

Heard about the popular cinnamon roll at this place. Unfortunately they had ran out of those and I tried the last piece of Schnecken. The waiter warmed up the schnecken and I should say it was soft & delicious. Not much sugar but was perfect. You know when you buy such pastries in other places, they are usually very sweet but this place makes it perfect. Guess that is why it could be famous.

Quack's 43rd Street Bakery is a laid-back coffeehouse with a nostalgic charm, offering an array of baked goods, panini, and espresso drinks. Originally known as Captain Quackenbush's Intergalactic Dessert Company and Espresso Cafe in the '80s and '90s, it has evolved into a beloved spot in Hyde Park.
I'm so glad I finally made it to Quack's! This bakery is a gem. I decided to try their chocolate cake and apple pie, and I wasn't disappointed. The chocolate cake was incredibly moist and flavorful, definitely one of the best I've ever had. The apple pie was also fantastic, with a flaky crust and a delicious filling. Plus, the outdoor seating area is really charming - a perfect place to relax and enjoy a sweet treat. I'll definitely be back to try more of their goodies!"

Best kolache I think I’ve ever had. Look at the cheese crisp outer edges!! The danishes are flaky and delicious. The cappuccino was less than ideal as it had that burnt flavor to it. Definitely coming back here.

I've been coming here for years and just realized I've never submitted a review. This is one of my favorite neighborhood bakeries. My favs are the chocolate cake, sugar cinnamon roll, ham and cheese croissant and coconut pie for my Granny. Today I went in for the croissant. The flakey butter crust practically melts in your mouth. The cheese and ham combo blend perfectly to create this breakfast treat. The service here is always professional and welcoming. There are several small tables and chairs outside. This particular area reminds me of old Austin. Its lovely to sit outside Quacks and enjoy your snack or beverage on a nice day.

I used to come here when I was in college and I remember it having the best apple pie where the apple was sliced so thinly and it was great, but unfortunately, they stopped doing that for a pretty standard apple pie recipe - chunks, not sliced. I was pretty disappointed. The cinnamon roll was good, but they don't warm it for you and sure, they have a microwave you can use, but there's no plates for it - I would have rather them had it behind the counter so I didn't have to put the roll on a napkin just to get it warm. I also got a hot chocolate here and read off of reddit that their hot chocolate doesn't come out scolding - which was true, it was very drinkable when I first got it, but lost its heat pretty quick. This isn't like the Quacks I used to go to and I probably won't be coming back.

Just went to quacks for some coffee and a vegan chocolate muffin. Coffee was absolutely delicious. Muffin was great too. I bought the key lime pie for a friend’s birthday from here a little while ago and it was a huge hit. Also, the staff were so friendly. I will be back

Jake T — Google review
The service was mediocre. Not very friendly, and they forgot one of my items even though id asked further questions about it so I had to drive all the way back to get it, and I understand they may see a lot of people but I was literally there maybe 10 minutes prior and the staff showed no recognition. The items were mostly reasonably priced, though $5 for the size of the carrot cake seems high to me. And the flavors were just okay. The carrot cake was a bit too sweet for my liking. The cream cheese danish was huge but a bit dry and flaky, and made it difficult to get a bite with all flavors. The snickerdoodle was good, and a great size. I liked the Czech tea cookie well enough. The merch was cute and well priced. If I’d been more of a fan of the pastries I would definitely purchase.

Sugar Mama's Bakeshop is a well-known bakery in Austin, with vintage decor and a cozy atmosphere. They gained fame by winning Food Network's Cupcake Wars in 2020 and have since become a staple in the local dessert scene. Their autumn-themed cupcakes are particularly popular, featuring unique flavors like Caramel Apple, The Notorious F.G., and 24 Carrot Magic.
Sugar Mamas made the deserts for our wedding and we honestly could not have been happier. No one else I spoke to was able to make the cake we envisioned but when we brought the idea to Sugar Mamas they made it no problem. It along with the vegan chocolate chip cookies, cupcakes, and toffee cookies were/are the best deserts we’ve had. So much so that the cookies have become a staple in my household. The employees were/are always kind and welcoming. The communication before and on our wedding day was on point and the end result was better than we could have even dreamed of. We highly recommend Sugar Mommas for events or even just as a delicious treat should you find yourself in ATX.

We had Sugar Mama’s cupcakes for the first time today! Everyone raved how delicious they tasted. We had the gluten free/dairy free chocolate and also the red velvet, chocolate and vanilla.

We recently visited Sugar Mama's in Austin in the afternoon and were thrilled to find that it is still as delightful as we remember from years ago. My absolute favorite is their red velvet cupcake, charmingly named Angelina. It was just as delicious as I recall, with a perfect balance of moist cake and creamy frosting. The atmosphere is cozy, but mostly a quick pickup kinda vibe, making it a good spot for a drop-in for sweet treats. The service was okay, but the 🌟 of the visit was definitely the cupcakes. If you're in Austin and have a sweet tooth, I highly recommend stopping by Sugar Mama's for cupcakes. It's a nostalgic favorite that never disappoints!

Cannot tell you how delicious the cookies are . Been years in Austin and they are the best I found by far. My kids ask me to drive from round rock to get them ! On top the lady is really welcoming and nice . Such a hidden gem. 💎

I’ve been coming here for a while - I tell everyone they are the best cookies in ATX. I just came to buy 10 cookies for my co-workers because I want them to try them! I cannot believe how my experience just went. Whoever the lady that helped me today was, she needs to be spoke to by her managers about customer service. She was extremely rude, rolled her eyes at me several times. I honestly couldn’t believe it - I was saying please and thank you… she was frustrated that I asked for a bag and she very sarcastically said “anything else?” Because she thought I was needy (only asked for 2 separate boxes because I’m giving cookies to 2 different groups. I said no, and to be honest you haven’t been very friendly and she had the audacity to reply and say “neither are you”. I was in shock. This is unacceptable customer service… puts a very sour taste in my mouth about coming here. I hope her managers speak to her. She is working right now which is Aug 26 2025 at 11:30 AM.

Located next to convenience store with a small parking spot that has only 4 spots shared with other business, this grab and go place has some really delicious bread and cookies. Their cookies are a little more on denser bigger side, kind of like Levain style cookies except with more filling in the middle if you get a stuffed Ollie and not quite the crispy bottom that Levain bakery cookies achieve. I got their classic chocolate chip cookie, which was good and for being such a big cookie filled with chocolate chips I am glad it wasn’t overly sweet though you can definitely split one cookie with two people. I also got the Banana Nutella cookie which reminds me if banana bread decided it wanted to make a little sandwich with Nutella in the middle and then shaped in cookie form. It’s more of a doughy cookie than chewy or crispy cookie. We also got the chocolate peanut butter cookie and you better love peanut butter because the peanut butter is strong, but delicious. We also got the wheat sourdough loaf and the crust on it is incredible and I loved that they do the fancy markings on top to like one the bread/steam to escape (I should know what it’s called but I never got into my sourdough era). Even for being made with wheat four and having blend of seeds, I did not find it too overwhelming and found it delicious to make a grilled cheese and loved that even though it’s healthy it didn’t taste overly grainy or overly “healthy” if that makes sense. It had a really great crust and interior and some nice little bubbles. I also got the avocado, egg, and cheese burridough which I thought it was ok - I wish there was more filling, I found that the bread to filling ratio was more bread than filling, and wish the filling had more salt/flavor. I am glad it came with mild salsa to dip it in to give it that extra kick/salt it needed. Probably my least favorite out of everything I tried. Parking lot wise they have a very small lot shared with other businesses. Don’t park at the convienient store next door. There is also street parking. There is no eating inside, but they do have a small bench outside (unshaded) if you want to enjoy the treats right then and there.

Super cute bakery and coffee shop! I recommend the kolaches, I got a ham and cheese one and it was really delicious with crispy cheese on the outside and everything! One warning to people who go here, nothing against this bakery, but be careful where you park because there is a boot and towing person on site who will target you the minute you leave your car if you are not careful. I had to pay $100 in cash after leaving my car unattended for 3 minutes

Great little bakery. We got coffee and cookies - tried the chocolate chip, the PBJ, and the banana nutella. The coffee was great as were the cookies. The cookies in order of how we liked them: banana, PBJ, and chocolate. The chocolate chip was a bit more doughy than the others so there might have been a baking issue with those but the flavor was spot on

If you’re anywhere near Thoroughbread, do yourself a favor and GO. This adorable little breakfast spot near our Airbnb had us hooked from the first bite. The drip coffee? Perfectly smooth. But the real star of the show? The “dough-rito”…a dreamy, doughy, gooey, egg-filled burrito that’s basically breakfast perfection wrapped up and ready to make your day. We got there just after they opened, and it was already buzzing with happy customers (always a good sign!). The staff? Absolutely lovely-super friendly and welcoming. We’re already planning a second visit before the trip’s over. Thoroughbread is a must-try!

Super delish spot. They have managed to keep things alive while their new location is being built. Great french toast, breakfast sandwiches, tostadas.. coffees, teas, and smiling faces. Bread selections, pastries, cookies... come support this amazing place!

Loved the food and service. The french toast is definitely a must try. From what I believe it, it has sloght notes of cinnamon which goes well with the soft warm toast and the sweet syrup. The coffee was bold and flavourful. Would have given 5 stars if the price was a little lower. Great ambience and service.

Within walking distance, this bakery has a peaceful, garden-like seating area that’s clean, well-spaced, and even feels a little romantic. I didn’t get attacked by bugs, so either they treat the area or I got lucky. The coffee was surprisingly good: strong, smooth, and well-made. Unfortunately, sandwiches weren’t available because the chef was out, which was odd given the menu is fairly simple and you’d expect more than one person to know how to make them… I did get a baguette despite it looking like it had wilted in the humidity, and my first bites were unappetizing. But after toasting it at home, it was really good. I nearly finished the whole loaf in one day!

The blueberry scone is absolutely incredible! I have to admit that I wasn't even a fan of scones before trying this one. Trust me, you won't want to miss it! The ham and cheese croissant is also one of the best I’ve ever had. 👏🏼

As a loyal customer of Texas French Bread for over four years, I've always loved their products. But it was their customer service that recently blew me away. After two gift shipments got lost, the TFB team showed incredible empathy. They immediately took the initiative to reship the items with overnight shipping, going completely above and beyond. It's this kind of care that makes them my first choice for gifts for friends and family near and far.

Stopped by Texas French Bread and loved the vibe. Their artisan breads, fresh pastries, and sandwiches (like the oven-roasted chicken and smoked ham & provolone) were all solid — you can tell they bake with care. Their coffee was surprisingly good, too — a nice pairing with everything. The garden setup (their outdoor seating) is quaint and calm, a relaxing spot to enjoy breakfast or lunch. The staff were friendly and took time chatting about menu favorites. Even with the fire they had in the past, they’ve bounced back beautifully.

Swedish Hill is a well-established bakery and cafe with a warm atmosphere and outdoor seating. It offers an all-day menu featuring Swedish classics such as freshly baked croissants, bagels, breads, pastries, breakfast specials, soups, salads, and signature sandwiches on freshly baked breads. The Little Swedish Hill location in Clarksville also has a full coffee bar.
First time checking out Swedish Hill, and the flaky pastries were our favorites! I’m a sucker for anything cherry, and the tart cherry cream cheese danish, ham and cheese, kouign amann, and Nutella bun, almond croissant were amazing. We took a chance on the macarons (cranberry orange, gingerbread, and eggnog) but I’d probably skip them next time. As macarons go, they’re not as sweet as others, which I appreciate, but the texture was a bit too crisp, not as much chew as I’d expect from a macaron. The coffee is nice and strong and doesn’t feel watered down, I got the iced Swedish coffee (coconut cream and oat milk) and my mom got a hot almond milk latte with lavender. Both were delicious. Go for the flaky pastries and coffee! Sourdough looks yummy too!

It's a beautiful bakery and coffee shop. The staff is delightful and fast-paced. I’d opt for their baked goods (the cinnamon roll might be the best in the city), but their breakfast tacos are shockingly good and light.

loveee this place! the staff always greets you with a warm smile. i got a nutella morning bun & it honestly is the best pastry ive ever had. the cinnamon sugar on the outside pairs perfectly with the buttery-flaky layers of the pastry & the nutella is not too sweet. ive had many good pastries in Austin but this is definitely one of my top favorites

Beautiful little pastry shop! The pastries are next level delicious. There’s a line but it moves fast and the staff is very kind. Great chicken and pasta salads for anyone looking for a quick lunch or snack. There’s a decent bit of outdoor seating but only a few seats inside. Plan to enjoy the patio or take to go.

Sandwich was $16.50. That mountain of lettuce on the bottom was an extra $0.50 - forgot my cheese as well. I would describe this as a “sad” sandwich. Also the online order is missing options you can order in store.
Robert W — Google review
As a devoted connoisseur of fine pastry and cuisine, I find myself increasingly disheartened by the lack of consistency at this establishment. On one occasion, I discovered a fly in my fruit salad—an unfortunate lapse in attention to detail. Moreover, the portions have become erratic, varying significantly in both size and weight; a more precise approach, such as the use of scales, would surely resolve this inconsistency. Twice, I’ve encountered whole cakes that were disappointingly dry, with frosting that crumbled rather than caressed the palate—a far cry from the delicate balance one would expect. The bagels, regrettably, are the most underwhelming I have ever tasted, leading me to abandon them after several attempts. Perhaps most disappointing, however, is the consistently indifferent service, particularly from the older employee of Slavic descent, whose lack of enthusiasm and apparent disinterest in guest satisfaction are palpable. On a more positive note, the pâte feuilletée creations retain their excellence, consistently embodying the finesse one hopes for in such delicate pastries.
Elli S — Google review
I really wanted to love this place, and was expecting more for the hype. I think it was probably the time of day and year that I went that was the issue. They were out of most of their selection, and the one pastry tart I did get was unpleasantly soggy at the bottom, and the other bun I got was dry and stale. The service was so efficient and friendly however and I loved how bright and clean and pretty the interior was. I would try again because I’ve heard such great things!

Amazing cafe and bakery! Very busy on a Sunday morning but the line moved quickly and there were multiple outdoor seating areas. The iced coffee and the cinnamon roll were the standouts but the bagel egg sandwich and avocado toast were also good. Will be back!

Mi Tradición is a Mexican bakery and cafe that immerses visitors in the vibrant culture of Mexico with its colorful walls and rustic furniture. Upon entering, guests are greeted with the traditional practice of selecting their desired sweets from trays using tongs. The owners, originally from Puebla, Mexico, have expanded their offerings to include not only a variety of bread but also authentic Mexican street-food staples like tacos al pastor and tlacoyos at their adjacent taco and torta eatery.
My family and I have only been to this place twice, and both times it felt like we were on vacation in Mexico. And I mean that in the best way possible. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. The guests are mostly native Mexicans (always a good sign). The food is about as authentic Mexican as you can get. The variety of postres (desserts) is over the top, from pan dulces, to flan, to different tres leches cakes). If you're looking for little Mexico in the heart of Austin Texas, La Tradicíon is a must to try.

This place feels very authentic to me from the freshly baked pastries, warm churros, breads and more come directly from the ovens in the back. We can see so many bakers working in the back working from scratch, not the typical frozen pre-made stuff of other bakeries. Our tasty bread literally came from the oven :20 seconds before it ended in our bag, nothing fresher and better. What’s even better are the prices, so affordable. Skip your trendy shop and buy from an authentic place.

From the freshly made food, the menu offers plenty to enjoy. Although my cheeseburger wasn't as flavorful and was quite bland. The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, with colorful decor that adds to the cultural experience, though it can occasionally feel a bit crowded and slightly messy. But. They really shine in its service, The staff is friendly and quite quick, even during top hours. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a regular, the team goes above and beyond to ensure you have a great dining experience. Overall, it’s a wonderful place.

Great place for food and pastries. We ordered a few items from the menu that are made in the moment. The order takers are friendly and the guys who are giving out the food are cool. My only concern is why they don’t add any sour cream to the torta? Everything was good but the milanesa torta was made with lettuce tomato and milanesa, that was flavorless. The aguas frescas are delicious.

I visited Mi Tradicion in search of freshly made pastries, specifically for concha. The bakery had a wide variety of bakery items as a self-serve style such as concha, cookies, muffins, danishes and other sweets. I purchased a concha, a cookie and what appeared to be a chocolate covered concha. The conchas were not very fresh to be honest, although plenty of items were stocked throughout the evening. I enjoyed the cookie though, it was a thicker, soft cookie and had a good vanilla flavour. I visited during the evening so this may have had an impact on freshness or quality. The bakery itself didn't provide any parchment paper liners or sheets to place inside the metal trays while picking out your items, so this may have been a sanitary concern of mine. Other than that, the bakery seemed clean, although a little outdated in terms of the building itself. Thank you

I stopped by during work to buy some churros, and even though I only got five, they were so dry and hard that I couldn’t even bite into them. I’ve bought bread from here before and the quality was always great, but this time I was really disappointed. I’m not sure if I’ll be coming back or recommending this place if the quality of the bread has declined this much.

I went today for lunch because this place is hidden, but with so many social networks putting this place on. There is nothing over the top about this place, as I bought Neapolitan cake and a huarache shepherd. These two items were very filling, and the blue corn tortilla was the first time I tried it, and it was amazing! The staff is amazing after placing the order it was ready within minutes. Season well, and the ingredients will be fresh. The bakery part was huge as I couldn't leave without buying something, the bread and sweets were wonderful. This panadería is larger than what I've seen in Austin for a while and reminds me of childhood outings and going to a panadería after church. Love this place

A cute little bakery shop with some really good selection; it’s not just sweets. Fun vibe: a cute little treasure of south Austin. I thought that tiny cake, the Lavender Honey-vanilla petit four, would just feel like a mouth cleanser but it's actually fairly dense and PACKED with flavor! It tastes like eating the whole lavender plant, but not in any bad way. It has an incredible depth of flavor!

I work at Don's Automotive around the corner from La Patisserie and I come here quite often. Over the years, I have always been greeted like family and left with a delicious latte and a sweet or savory treat to get the day started. My all time favorites are the turkey & cheese croissants, the cro-brio donuts and of course the macarons[I'll bring a 6-pack back to the shop occasionally to help with morale]. La Patisserie is a South Austin gem!
Jimmy P — Google review
I think they better use the phrase "inspired by." These pastries are fresh and well-made. As for authentic, no. The beignet and almond croissant are close but not quite. The crobrios as original creations are delicious and balanced out by a cup of black coffee. The aesthetic is again inspired by a French cafe-small, artistic and looks like it's family-owned. I don't know if it is or not, but that's the vibe.

The founder's dedication to perfecting recipes has resulted in popular items like the Confetti Cupcake, which features soft vanilla cake with sprinkles and vegan buttercream frosting.
My fiance and I found this place randomly looking for a birthday cake... my fiance ended up surprising me for my birthday with the vegan cupcakes and it's been a tradition ever since we moved here! We love to offer the cupcakes to our friends and family for the first time and not let them know that they're vegan. These are the best desserts I've ever had. Vegan Poptarts... sounds too good to be true right? Nope, it's real life and they taste JUST like regular Poptarts. Come support this incredible local Austin business. Everything I've had here, has been amazing. Pay attention to their Instagram each week to see what special flavors they are offering that week!

I did not realize that this was a vegan bakery (we just were walking by) so my taste wouldn’t really count here but I personally was not a fan. When we walked in there were only a few cupcakes left since it was the end of the day/weekend. They did look good though. The biggest problem I had was how filthy the place looked. The decor was cute (of course) but the floors and tables were all DIRTY. The place was welcoming enough. We had to wipe down the table, but sitting there looking at the super dirty floor was not appetizing.

I'm visiting from Los Angeles and my son took me to this bakery. He hadn't been before but heard great things about it. I had the peanut butter brownie and blackberry mocha iced coffee. As rich as the brownie looks, it wasn't too sweet AT ALL and it was rather delicious. The drink was different but good. My son had the carrot cake muffin and he loved it. I would definitely return as they had some other really delicious eats that I want to try. I would also recommend this bakery to others.

Because I have anaphylaxis to dairy and eggs, it's hard to find baked goods that I can eat, especially without any fear at all of cross-contamination.

When looking for a bakery that provided vegan cupcakes for our wedding, we sent a couple emails out to different companies.

We had compliments all night about them.

Best bakery experience! I called a couple places asking for quotes and was immediately impressed when Amy called and took me through this long list of questions. She wanted to be sure everything was understood and I appreciate that. When I picked up the cake, there was a little discrepancy between the nakedness of the photo and cake, but she was able to coordinate with staff to get it perfected within a few hours that worked for me, and the cake went over amazing at the party.

Walton's Fancy & Staple is a charming establishment located on W 6th St in Austin, offering a unique combination of bakery, deli, and flower shop. Housed in a historic building on Sixth Street, this beloved spot serves freshly baked bread, delectable sandwiches, and delightful sweets. The menu features farm-fresh eggs and scratch biscuits for breakfast, gourmet sandwiches with daily roasted all-natural meat for lunch, and daily-rotating Blue Plate Specials for early supper.
Fun, casual cafe with extensive food and drink menu complimented by an excellent bakery. The golden egg and black chocolate hearts were wonderful, soft and flavorful inside but crisped just right on the outside. They have two rooms of several tables and are conveniently located along the west Sixth Street strip. They have happy hour Thursday through Saturday 3p-5p with discounted food and drinks. They serve great pizza Thursday through Saturday 3p-7p. We loved the sausage and ricotta. There is paid street parking on surrounding streets.

Nice healthier spot for breakfast or a nice lunch. They make decaf coffee if you need decaf. The macaroons were delicious. The granola in the bowl in the picture felt very fresh. I didn’t feel like it came out of a bag in the sprinkle. The overall restaurant was similar, best way to describe it is that it doesn’t feel like it comes out of containers and then it is put together. Easy walking to on Congress affordable. Seating is typical for 2 to 6 people

Walton’s Fancy and Staple is a bakery/cafe with a decent variety of options to choose from as well as a quaint and welcoming interior. We went on a warm afternoon when it wasn’t too busy and looking for a quick sweet treat. Since it’s directly on 6th be mindful of parking since that may be an issue, just as a heads up. There’s a good assortment of pastries to choose from and we settled on a chocolate birthday cake macaroon and one of their chocolate hearts. The workers seem very happy and friendly but they did take a while to work through the line and also get our stuff ready to go. Once we got our things we ended up taking it to go but ate it within a few minutes of stepping out. The chocolate birthday cake macaroon was good, but not stellar. It does a good job as tasting as it would be advertised, but it wasn’t anything we felt you couldn’t get at another bakery. Similarly, the chocolate heart was good, but not as good as you would expect for something coming out of a place dedicated to baking. That might seem a bit harsh, but let us clarify that their baked goods are much better than store bought, just not as good as we had hoped them to be. We will definitely be back if in the area to give them another shot, hopefully for brunch so we can try out some more of their other options as well.

The chicken is so chewy and dry… I had to chew each bite 100 times and after a few bites I gave up and threw it away. They need to make fresh chicken, not use old stuff… especially when they charge $18+tax for 1 wrap.

Restaurant
Joe’s Bakery & Coffee Shop is a beloved, family-owned establishment that has been serving up classic Mexican fare and bakery treats for over 75 years. Despite the changing landscape of East Austin, this iconic institution remains a steadfast presence, offering fluffy house-made flour tortillas filled with migas and an unbeatable carne guisada.
Joe's has a history back to 1935, but he actually bought it from his parents in 1962. With his brother-in-law, they opened their business on 7th Street. The brother-in-law left a few months later, amicably. Leaving, Joe to run it sixteen to eighteen hours a day. Relocated, the restaurant 2 doors down to an old lumber yard in 1969, where it still is today.. this is a true Austin icon. It's been around for more than forever, and it's always full, especially on the weekends. You can see from the pictures that usually we get something different, just so we can compare more. But she's a migas, freak, and I love migas, and theirs are incredible, the beans were really good. The bacon was absolutely amazing. If you like, really crispy and flavorable. Yeah, this was it. The attention from the server was pretty good. And you could just tell how many people knew each other coming and going and talking and enjoying it. This is one of the places that makes me really happy that I try to discover all these places.. And share them with y'all. They do have some bakery goods, and this was new this time. It says you have to order them from your table. But if you want your Mexican bakery items, they've got them.. Enjoy

My husband has been getting his breakfast tacos here for years and finally brought me for breakfast! As soon as we entered, it was so nostalgic and reminded me of my valley days. It has that old school, authentic Mexican hole in the wall vibe. The walls are covered with memorabilia and photos of famous people that have stopped by. We even spotted two of the servers on some pictures that must’ve been over 10 years ago. You can tell they are loyal to this restaurant and love what they do! It was pretty busy around 10am on a Tuesday morning, but we spotted a booth that was available. Our server was busy but attended us as quickly as he could. We ordered a coffee to drink and it was such a good roast. Our server made sure it stayed refilled throughout our stay. For breakfast, my husband ordered the Joe’s special and I ordered the barbacoa plate. The prices are pretty expensive for breakfast but the quality of food was worth it. The flour tortillas are homemade and they were buttery and thin, just the way I like them. They were so good we had to order two more. They are smaller than I’m used to so we each had 3 total. My barbacoa was flavorful and not fatty at all. I did order some onion and cilantro on the side which I’m used to eating my barbacoa with but it did come at an upcharge. My eggs were cooked to perfection and the refried beans were delicious. I’m not a big fan of the way they cook their potatoes as they are round spears so my hubby ate those. My husband liked his carne guisada and the bacon was a little too fried for my liking but he sure ate it all. We ate it all up and left nothing on the plate. That’s how good it all was! On our way out, we stopped by at their bakery and saw their options. They offer a variety of traditional sweet bread. We decided to skip out this time as we were so full. We will definitely be back for sure! I will say their breakfast tacos are priced so well ($2.75 each) that i will probably order those next time. Overall, I highly recommend stopping by for your next breakfast and lunch plans!

Joe’s Bakery & Coffee Shop in East Austin is a must for anyone craving authentic Tex-Mex breakfast and traditional Mexican pastries. It’s family-owned and has been serving up some of the best comfort food in the city for generations. The menu is loaded with an extensive variety of breakfast tacos, each one made fresh and packed with flavor, but the real star is the cheesy migas con todo plate. Don’t leave without grabbing a few of their baked goods from the counter! The conchas and empanadas are pure nostalgia. Joe’s blends old-school Austin charm with the warmth of a family-run kitchen.

Such a big disappointment. I have not been here in YEARS and it has significantly changed. There was no greeting with hospitality. In fact the lady that introduced herself with the spiked hair was extremely rude with NO COMMUNICATION skills. The food was terrible. Store bought stale crispy tacos, beef not seasoned. Quesadillas and enchiladas chicken were very bland. The menudo was decent but they charge .75 for cilantro. Like what’s menudo not paired with onion and cilantro? Queso was entirely too thick. I can’t imagine what it does in the inside. This use to be such an amazing place but I will not be coming back here ever. We left most of the food on the plate. We spent 175.00 because it was a large group. Our server Ms Linda was nice and pleasant. She was the only breath of fresh air we encountered.

I’ve never seen this store independently operating outside of H mart so I was curious to come visit there! Like as usual, this place is very nice bakery like you see at H mart! I love their sweet bread and some savory ones but we came late so only things they had were sweet ones. So we grabbed custard, red sugar beans and sweet chestnut 🌰 bread! I had a custard one on the way home and it was very good! Excited to try chestnut one and sugar bean one! Keep up the good work! Cheers 🥂

Everything is individually wrapped so you can quickly take it to go if you're in a hurry. We went on a random Tuesday for brunch and it was empty except for one other customer. Their cappuccino was mediocre, customer service was good and there were a lot of pastries to choose from, mostly sweet but a few savory options. The kids were obsessed with the cake display but my eyes were on the macaroons.

I loved the strawberry sweet, it was a nice long pink bread with strawberry cream you would put on bread slices. The strawberry smoothie I got was also quite good, even managed to get a brain freeze from it! My sister also got the sweet Garlic Bread Sticks and seems to enjoy them.

My favorite bakery shop in Austin. Nothing here is too sweet, it’s just perfect! I usually get Mango Cloud Cake, Milk bread because these two are my top favorite! Mango Cloud Cake is very fluffy, creamy and some fresh mango in the cake too, so so good! The packaging is so nice including plastic cake cutter, candle and some match, very thoughtful!

Bought a birthday cake here—their Classic Cloud Cake—and it was a hit! Light, fluffy, and not overly sweet, just the way we like it. The fresh fruit on top added a perfect touch, and the presentation was beautiful. Staff was friendly and pickup was smooth. Will definitely be coming back for future celebrations!

OMG Squee is a dedicated gluten-free shop that offers a variety of delectable treats such as mooncakes, lemon butter mochi donuts, macarons, taiyaki sundaes, and jiggly cheesecake. The shop gained recognition after being featured on the Austin season of Queer Eye. Their signature mochi donuts are particularly popular and highly recommended.
Super impressed by this spot! The matcha ube drink was incredible—I’m still thinking about it. The gluten-free donuts were chewy, not too sweet, and totally delicious. Loved the variety of unique drinks and the non-dairy options. Definitely coming back!

I came here for the doughnuts, because I had heard so many good things, and I LOVE mochi doughnuts. I’ve never in my life had a mochi doughnut like this. Instead of that addictive chewy-yet-light texture with a bit of crunch around the edges, these were gummy and dense-not so much chewy as just thick and doughy. The flavors were unimpressive and barely noticeable. Parking was difficult to get and seating was limited and not very nice—all outside with nothing to help keep cool.

I ordered the Hongkong Milk Tea to see whether it's similar with the HK Milk Tea I used to drink back in Malaysia and it is! so its an authentic experience 💕. My husband also liked the Caffe Ube, he finished it so fast. The Sesame Strawberry mochi also is really good and def something unique, will go back for it. Everything is not too sweet. It's usually hard to impress me, especially for Asian foods/drinks in the U.S., but this is my new fav dessert place in town! Oh, I also like their artsy Asian culture inspired souvenirs! Also, I'm so curious with the owner, a quick Google, and I found out she's on Netflix show Queer Eye Season 6! Such a wholesome episode, and she looks so precious and humble 🥹

Ice cream / donut shop on the east side. Ice cream was more dense than normal soft-serve delivering a luscious texture . The taste was indistinguishable between flavors (cereal milk and ube). Donut was vegan and to be fair it tasted like a vegan donut. I wouldn’t call this shop amazing. Glad I tried but was not impressed.

Julie Myrtille Bakery, located in East Austin, offers a delightful taste of France with its exquisite French pastries and delicacies. The bakery is owned and led by an award-winning French pastry chef who graduated from a prestigious culinary school in France. Visitors can indulge in a variety of superbly flavored breads, brioches, quiches, croissant sandwiches, salads, toasts, croissants, danishes, patisseries and cookies.
Got introduced to Julie’s fantastic fare at the Wolf Ranch Saturday Market in Georgetown. The prices are high but worth it! The peach and almond tart were absolutely delicious. The shell was perfectly cooked and the filling was too. I also bought the pain chocolat- it was okay. I suppose it would be better warmed. I will definitely go back and try the other offerings.

So disappointed. Searched for a place for an almond croissant this morning and found this bakery as an option…with high hopes given the pictures and such. The almond croissant was hard and dry, as if it were day old. I also got a cannele to try. It was cold, even though it was sitting out in the display with everything else. Definitely seemed like it had been refrigerated and still had some of the chill which definitely kept some of the flavor from coming through and, frankly, just made it seem like I had spent $14 for two pastries I could’ve gotten with better quality at H-E-B. I guess the good news is there will be fewer calories in my day today since half of each one is now in the garbage. 😭

Tried them out at the Farmers Market today $21 for two small chocolate croissants and a spinach feta pastry that was mushy. Had I not known they were from Julie Myrtille, my guess would have been La Madeline. Even then I feel I've had better at La Madeleine. Hard regrett.

What a beautiful gem of a bakery nestled in the heart of the Arboretum! The pastries here are so fresh and authentic, absolutely delicious.

Wow! I have so much to say about Julie Myrtille, especially over the last year that I've had the privilege of enjoying their brick and mortar location/services. In the before times, right when their brick and mortar location was opening, my friends and I had the privilege of renting their space to host a small tea party! Amazing! They were very accommodating with our needs and special requests. Everyone enjoyed their time there and felt well taken care of, so much so that we had a get together twice the size a few weeks later for Valentines! Everyone was impressed by the food and felt a piece of Paris right here in Austin with the quality and aesthetic! During quarantine, we ordered an at home tea service and in no way was the quality compromised! If you want to order for your office or to enjoy a small get-together at home, everything tastes freshly baked and freshly made! It’s an amazing choice! Recently, we ordered the tea service again and were able to enjoy gorgeous displays and delicious tastes right at their location! In short, catering service and food is top notch! From here though, I want to take a moment to talk about the menu options! First and foremost, I’m a little obsessed with their homemade jams. . . If you ever have the opportunity to purchase them, you will not be disappointed! Next, I’ve NEVER had a better quiche. They do not skimp on herbs, veggies, or flavor; the number of sweet, juicy tomatoes in the tomato quiche and the onions in the French onion one is just astounding! So much flavor comes in a nice, personal size, too! Croissants? Amazing! Baguette? Just right! If you ever have a chance to try their ciabatta or full loaves, you will not be disappointed! The scones that come with the tea are perfectly made and just a perfect balance of a sweet and savory feel! Finally, it needs to be said that Julie Myrtille is here for our community! They have been supporting at local farmers markets for years and whenever the community finds itself in need, Julie Myrtille is there to help! Free meals and discounts during COVID and the ice storms, Julie Myrtille was ready to help provide when the community was in need! I’m so happy to have this bakery in Austin; it has that unparalleled Parisian quality that reminds me of Laduree! Please visit and treat yourself to something special and unique!

I found Julie Myrtille’s Bakery by chance coming from Austin’s International Airport. Each of these goodies in the box tastes soft, flaky, delicious and all the goodness of an authentic French pastry which I love about this bakery! I’m a croissant lover, and these satisfy my craving. I bought some goods for my friends and family so they can enjoy them too. For sure, I’ll be a regular customer here.

American restaurant
Sour Duck Market is a casual American restaurant and market that offers locally-sourced ingredients in its dishes. As the sister restaurant to Odd Duck, it features a bakery with an array of delectable pastries and a coffee program that rivals those found in Seattle. The menu includes innovative yet simple dishes such as tater tots, fried chicken, burgers, and dinner plates after 5pm.
Fantastic Brunch Spot – A Must We visited Sour Duck Market (Austin) based on a whim and a Googled review — it did not disappoint! From the moment we arrived on a busy Sunday morning, we were impressed by the efficiency of the service, the quality of the food, and the overall experience. The ordering process is seamless—scan a QR code at your table, browse the menu, place your order (individually or as a group), and pay via Apple Pay. You can run a tab or pay immediately, and you receive text updates on your order status. It’s a smooth, well-designed system that ensures you’re never left wondering about your food. Despite the bustling brunch crowd, our food arrived quickly, and every dish was absolutely delicious. We ordered: • Fried Chicken Hash – Crispy, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. • Breakfast Taco – Simple but packed with fresh ingredients. • Baked Chilaquiles – A standout dish with bold flavors. • Breakfast Sammy – A hearty and satisfying sandwich. • A Star is Born (x3) – A refreshing and well-balanced drink. • Chai Latte – Smooth and full of warm spices. The food was fresh, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. The portions were just right, leaving us satisfied but not overly stuffed. As expected in Austin, parking can be a challenge, but with a little patience, you can usually find a street spot nearby. Overall, Sour Duck Market is a fantastic brunch spot with great food, fast service, and a hassle-free ordering system. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommended.

Parking was a little tight but wasn’t really an issue. Food was wonderfully delicious. I got a mushroom danish, I loved it but for my partner it wasn’t his cup of tea. We got the brisket sandwich and chicken sandwich. Both absolutely delish and you can feel the intention behind every ingredient for it. Maybe the chicken was a little better than the brisket one since the bread on that one was a little dryer. My friend got the sourdough melt and that was also absolutely delish. And for a little refreshing side, I enjoyed the smashed cucumbers. Service was good when you were met with a staff member. Most of it is self service. They had a stand for water, utensils, to go containers and plates. You order food from a QR code on your table. Food came out in a timely manner. The vibe and decor of the place was really cute and I’d love to come back next time I’m in town. Their brunch looks awesome. For the pictures it’s just the mushroom danish, smashed cucumbers and brisket sandwich.

Patio happy hour is the place to be. A large set of picnic tables with lots of seating and a great happy hour menu! The smash burgers were delicious and the drinks refreshing. The fries and squash didn’t hit the mark. Officially updating my review - been back at least 5x since my original review. While I stand by my fries remark I have fallen in love with the bread and pastries from Sour Duck! The mushroom danish, rose pistachio cookie, fresh breads and pastries are just my favorite. I keep coming back

I really wanted to like this place, their baked goods look stunning and the vibes are great. I went for brunch to scope it out for a date and ordered 3 dishes and a coffee to give it a fair chance. Again, everything came out looking spectacular. But to me, it didn't taste like much. Everything was bland. I got the breakfast sammy, the mushroom danish and the pretzel with queso. All three were disappointing. Will probably not be returning, although I do want to try their cocktails.
Nikunj B — Google review
Went during a happy hour, ordered a double with queso, a lemonade, a dreamscicle and a non-happy hour pretzel. I was happy with the food and ordered everything on my phone, which felt really convenient - but when I checked my credit card the next day, I noticed the amount the business was charging me ($34) was more than what I expected. I tried to see if I could pull my receipt the next day and that wasn't an option, I also tried to call and the phone would get picked up and then placed on the side (I could hear the restaurant, but no one answered). I did not leave a tip and I also closed out my tab (tip is prompted right before that happens). I did see that their website says they charge 20% on unclosed tabs, but I don't think that applies here, even assuming a 20% tip, the math doesn't tie The whole experience feels weird.

Visited Sour Duck Market for brunch and absolutely loved it. The Devon’s Hot Chicken Sandwich was spicy, juicy, and perfectly balanced with pickles and slaw, and their Peeler Farms Wagyu Double Cheeseburger (with American & pimento cheese on a challah bun) was bursting with flavor. The Smoked Mushroom Danish made for a sweet, savory pastry treat to start. The vibe is laid-back and cozy — part bakery, part beer garden — and the staff were warm and helpful (they even talked me through their seasonal menu items). Great spot to linger over coffee, a pastry, or a full meal.

Tinys Milk & Cookies in Austin is a charming spot known for its traditional homemade cookies that are simply irresistible. In addition to their delectable cookies, they also offer a variety of in-house baked pastries and homemade ice cream that are worth indulging in. The signature milk and cookies flavor of their ice cream features delightful chunks of their chocolate chip cookies, while the refreshing strawberry flavor is equally delightful.
May 2025 Every time I drove by Kerbey Lane Village shopping center I saw a line of people towards the back and after three trip by it stopped to see what it was. It turned out to be Tiny's Milk & Cookies nested in the identical farmhouse style buildings. Luckily there was no line so was able to study the menu offerings and decided to try a Chocolate Chip Cookie, Blueberry Muffin, Cinnamon Roll, and a Brownie. I already had a coffee with me so didn’t need to order another one. The staff is super friendly and even though only a walk-up place it had great atmosphere. All of the items tasted really good and delightful. The blueberry muffin was so soft and flavor-able. The cinnamon roll was huge and also addicting to eat where had a slight lemony taste to it. The chocolate chip cookie was much better than local branded rivals and the brownie was very chocolaty. Like I said before it was so good.

We came too late, all the savory items have been sold out, which is such a pity( we literally came at 12:30, and not expect that to happen, perhaps next time we need to be earlier to get some good food!) Instead of savory croissants, we ordered a scoop of ice cream, and it’s very good! Mint chocolate chips! And it tastes like real mint. We also ordered vanilla scone, but is a bit too dry without any drinks.

We got to try Tiny's Milk and Cookies for the first time the other day! It's located in the cutest little shopping area, with a farmstyle, country-vibe aesthetic. It's a walk-up, outdoor counter without any chairs or tables to sit at. It was drizzling out, but that didnt stop a line from forming in the rain on a Saturday afternoon. We ordered a chocolate chip cookie, 2 brownies, and a scone, and it took just about a minute to come out. It's a bit pricey for what it is, but that's to be expected from a little stand like this. The cookie and brownies are basic but still good. For the price, I would want to try something more unique next time. Not sure that the basic items are worth what they're charging.

Hidden Gem💎 It seems like a local spot as it’s slightly hidden behind a street. Everything is made from scratch and is highly tasty. I got the breakfast tacos chorizo and bacon. I like the bacon better as it’s the perfect blend of crunchy and salty. The chorizo was a bit mushy and not to my liking. I tried the chocolate sprinkled donut as recommended by one of the servers. I didn’t catch her name but she’s awesome. Thanks freind! It was fantastic. Of course I had to finish off with their signature chocolate chip cookies. Yummy! Very rich and soft. You have to try one. The only downside is that there is not place to sit and the line can be long (testament of how great this place is) 10/10 Chocolate Chip Cookies 🍪

A must in Austin! Yummy cookies & treats! This location is very cute & aesthetic, but I will say if you're looking for a cheap treat, this isn't your place. However, they know their worth! We visited 2x in our weekend trip & will definitely return! We got several orders of chocolate chip cookies, a strawberry lemonade, & ice cream. Before leaving town, we also picked up a dozen frozen cookie dough so we can have this goodness at home! Be prepared for no seating, it is a simple to-go window! There is typically always a line so be prepared to stand for a second but one you try this goodness, you'll understand!

One of my absolute favorite bakeries in Austin for chocolate chip cookies! (My 5 Stars is solely for the chocolate chip cookies) You have to go and get them when they’re hot. They literally melt in your mouth and it is their best item on the menu. Grab a glass of milk to make it extra special! Be prepared after school let out for them to have a wait, but it is worth it.

Dangerously delicious pastry and ice cream! The mint chocolate chip ice cream is the best I've had in town. You can taste the fresh herb (rather than the boring artificial flavor). I also tried the honey bun this time, and it was good! It is more like kouign amann rather than a bread bun. So good! Super flakey and buttery.

10/10 Experience we are always looking for coffee shops with breakfast and gf options. We each got a coffee, the gluten free cinnamon rolls and the ham and Swiss biscuit. All were incredible! We sat outside and the vibes were great. Highly recommend!

I was told this place had the best breakfast sandwich in Austin and they were right! It's hard to find tasty breakfast in Austin that's under $15 and this place does just that. Good coffee, beautiful part of downtown, and a unique breakfast sandwich filled with brisket and pimento cheese and homemade buns. Give it a shot and support your local unique Austin restaurants, we're losing them everyday. Was able to meet the owner too, very sweet person who just wants to give people affordable food and coffee.

Just discovered this place a couple of weeks ago and now it’s my regular Friday treat. Baked goods are delicious and the smoothies are good. Excellent service and happy people working there. Parking is tough but doable. Recommend the cheddar sausage kolache and get the spicy salsa!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Nate's. All the food and baked goods are FRESH and delicious. I had their yogurt bowl today and expected store-bought Greek yogurt with some berries. Much to my surprise it ended up being locally made Bulgarian style yogurt that was so delicious. Additionally, every single worker I've interacted with has been so pleasant and welcoming. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area!

I love that this place exists. It’s hidden down the back alley and it feels like it shouldn’t exist. It’s like this coffee and bake goods hideaway buried in the most unlikely place in downtown. Of all the little coffee shops that are right in this area this one truly feels like a neighborhood hidden gem. There’s absolutely no parking if you got some, it’s like winning the lottery Very, not wheelchair friendly but exceptionally friendly to everything else Great spot where y’all really all.

Tiny Pies is a locally-owned gem that has been capturing the essence of nostalgic pie memories since 2011. Baked fresh daily with natural ingredients, these individually sized pies come in both sweet and savory flavors, all encased in a signature crust made from European butter. Whether it's the seasonal banana cream or classic Texas pecan, these little treats pack a punch in flavor and texture. Don't worry if you can't get enough - they also offer full-sized pies.
As someone who loves pies and really only wants a small portion, this dessert shop got it right by selling personable sized pies. We got there a bit later in the day where there were slim pickings but they were delicious! Make sure you ask for them to be warmed up!

We ended up getting the pecan pie and coconut cream pie. I would 100% recommend the coconut cream pie... But I would not recommend the pecan pie. This is tough for me to say because I'm a huge pecan pie fan and I thought it would be my favourite without question. Unfortunately the crust was dry, although the flavour was pretty good. The flavour didn't make up for the crust though. The coconut cream pie was perfect. My partner decided on the coconut cream pie and we shared half & half. It wouldn't have been my 2nd choice if I was eating there by myself. I'm really glad I tried it! If I had just tried the pecan pie, I think my food rating would have been 2/5. Because of the coconut cream pie, it bumped it up to a 4/5. Would visit them again and try some different pies!

Tiny Pies - A Stellar Treat! 5 out of 5 stars Tiny Pies stole my heart (and satisfied my sweet tooth)! I recently tried their Chocolate Eclipse Pie - perfect for the upcoming eclipse - and it was absolutely delicious. The graham cracker crust was buttery and flavorful, the marshmallow filling was gooey and delightful, and the dark chocolate coating added a rich touch. It was like a mini planet of deliciousness in my mouth! Beyond the limited edition pie, I also indulged in their classic flavors - the key lime and lemon meringue. Both were fantastic! The key lime had a perfect balance of tart and sweet, and the lemon meringue was light and fluffy with a perfectly toasted meringue topping. Overall, Tiny Pies impressed me with their delicious flavors, high-quality ingredients, and adorable size. They're perfect for a quick sweet treat or a unique dessert to share. I can't wait to try their other flavors next time! Highly recommend!

I recently visited this pie shop and was impressed with their selection. They offer both pre-made and raw pies. I tried the lemon pie and loved the filling. The pie crust had a texture that was a mix of crumbly and sandy. You can visit this shop to find a delicious treat.

Delicious, fresh and just the right size portion to enjoy a decadent, sweet treat. The pumpkin and cherry pies were excellent and enjoyed as individually sized desserts. They make a nice gift for a dinner host too.

Update: After speaking with management they refunded my original purchase and provided me with some new pies for free. The pie filling was still good, the crust still wasn’t that great. Cherry pie was my favorite. The flavors I had ordered weren’t the ones I received. Overall, it’s nice that management cares about their customers, so I raised my score from 1 to 3. Original: First time trying these pies and super disappointed. The crust was SOO hard/over cooked. I went in the afternoon so I’m not sure if they were old or I was just unlucky with getting super hard and over cooked pie crust. The fillings were pretty tasty but I feel like I wasted 40 dollars at this place.

Picked up some pies the other day to take to a dinner and we got there about 40 minutes before closing time. There was still a good amount pies available for us to purchase. I thought the price of over $4 a tiny pie was a little steep but they definitely were delicious. I'm not a huge pie fanatic so my favorite was the Vegan Berry of all the ones we tried (Key lime, Lemon meringue, vegan berry and peach crumble). I also noticed that when we walked in, the room smelled like cigarettes and then soon after walking in, the staff member that was there to help us wasn't incredibly friendly.

Paper Route Bakery offers a unique twist on traditional baked goods with their savory Pao de Queijos, featuring a crunchy exterior and cheesy interior in flavors like Original, Spicy Jalapeno, and Prosciutto Rosemary. After a brief hiatus, the bakery has returned with a renewed focus on crafting visually stunning and flavorful cakes. Additionally, their sweet lemon cookies are perfect for those who enjoy zesty desserts.
The pistachio oasis is perfection. Easily one of the best cakes I ever had. We wanted a cake for our micro-wedding that our guests would love. We got several slices to try from Paper Route Bakery and from the first bite of pistachio oasis, my husband (who is not a dessert person) and I were sold! Not only was the cake delectable, but it was a perfectly cute presentation with our name and wedding date on it. The decoration is simple and classic, which fit our wedding aesthetic. Everyone was raving about how wonderful the cake tasted bc it’s not overly sweet but has a beautiful flavor. Make sure to get extra because we were so happy to have enough to eat for the next couple days after the wedding.

Some of the best cake I’ve ever had. I got the chocolate cake and it was so delicious! I can tell that they really put thought and care into making their cakes. It was so moist. The filling is tasty and the frosting is so creamy. At the same time, it had the right amount of decadence. The staff is so welcoming and kind as well. They even gave a sample of their strawberry cake and it was also just as delicious! A wonderful place for a dessert fix. Parking was a bit difficult but only because I came on a Sunday morning and it is right next to a church and a busy lunch rush at Cenote. Worth the visit for sure though!

Wow this place is delicious! The cookies are huge and so flavorful. Peanut butter milkshake cookie, chocolate milkshake cookie, regular chocolate chip cookie plus some incredible scones, come on! Chef/baker Aaron has created some wonderful desserts. He’s a friendly guy with great attention to flavor, and he takes care of his regulars! It shares the patio with the restaurant Cenote on E Caesar Chavez. Get over to Paper Route before it closes at 6:00PM!!

I showed up late in the day when many of the scone options were sold out and the baker was so thoughtful and accommodating despite that. I would easily recommend this bakery for their wonderful sweet and savory options as well as the delightful service. A+ icing, great parmesan scone. Would definitely come back and bring friends
Alyss N — Google review
Not only are the scones and cookies at Paper Route Bakery DECADENT, Aaron is (maybe) sweeter than his unforgettable creations. I've tried every scone flavor and have trouble picking a favorite, but I do love this summer season’s peach pecan. (Can you really go wrong with lemon blueberry, the cloves in the orange cranberry or the banana in the French toast though?) And... they’re enormous. We haven’t even talked about his cookies. He takes the classic chocolate chip to another chunky, gooey level that leaves you saying, “ok... I’ll get another one to-go.” Aaron puts the same amount of time and care into his delicious baked good as he does with every. single. customer. that walks up to greet him. It’s clear that he is insanely hardworking and dedicated to ensuring every bite is the same. I tell everyone I know to visit Aaron and support this fantastic local business. He’s what makes Austin special... even if it means you have to hit the trail for a few extra miles after you leave. (Pics are peanut butter cookie, cranberry orange scone, peach pecan scone, French toast and cranberry scone)

We got the Chocolate Fainting Couch cake from Aaron at Paper Route Bakery. Y'all. It's the gentle warmth from a fireplace during winter. It's a smooth first date in springtime. It's flavorful and fluffy without having the sickly sweetness of a grocery store cake. It manages to be delicious without being overpowering - so in a word, elegant. It's rich without flaunting its money. And I've gotta say, interacting with Aaron was such a pleasure. He's got a clear passion for the cakes and is wonderful to speak with. Go try a slice from em today!

Moonlight Bakery is a family-owned bakery that offers a delightful selection of European pastries and breads. The warm walls create a cozy atmosphere for enjoying their daily-baked breads, special-occasion cakes, and an array of pastries. The bakery is known for its quirky cakes and flaky pastries, but it also offers a small yet delectable selection of sweet and savory kolaches that are made with love.
I expected the regular Austin experience, but was pleasantly surprised by the visit. The food was fairly priced and they didn't hound me for a tip for putting bread in a box. I thought I was in the wrong city for a moment. Service was amazing and friendly, I think it was Norma. She even recommended a competitor's shop when they didn't have what we were looking for. There are a few good people still running businesses in Austin, this is one of them. I noticed a lot of 1 star reviews complaining about parking. It's amazing some people are unable to read clearly posted signs about parking. At least they have friends who are literate enough to type out google reviews for them.

Moonlight Bakery is a local gem in South Austin. Our first visit was over 7 years ago and going strong. Delicious freshmade pastries! It was hard to decide from the bread to the kolaches. I needed a treat today! Beverages like milk and tea also available. My favorite is the Dutch chocolate milk for the kid in me. Easy come and go ordering. Parked right out front and walked in to order from tasty selections in the showcase. Norma is super friendly and easy to talk to about all local and world current events. It's nestled between T-Mobile and Batteries Plus.

Excellent bakery as mentioned in previous reviews. Not a huge selection but perfectly adequate and everything is done very well. No seating area so it’s a grab and go place. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Had the jalapeño, ham and cheese kolache as well as the lemon tart. The kolache was fine, not too spicy, kinda on the small size so get two. The lemon tart was excellent; not too tart nor too sweet. The ratio of crust to filling was spot on as well. My wife loved the chocolate croissant and cherry kolache she ordered. Didn’t get any drinks this time. Great local place, highly recommend.

I was in Austin and my wife wanted me to pick her up some pastries from a local bakery. I'm glad she did. I had to get an assortment. Everything looked amazing. I heard the cinnamon rolls were amazing so I got a couple of those. They did not disappoint. Maybe the best we've had. The lady was super nice and helpful. Fair prices and so far everything was tasty. If I'm in the area again I will definitely stop by. If you're looking for some tasty baked goods you cant go wrong here. I should have bought more cinnamon rolls!

As a person with Celiac’s disease, I was extremely excited to try out this 100% gluten free restaurant with my boyfriend- and let me tell you, it for sure is gluten free!,never before have I gone out without getting some symptoms- so kudos on that front! While my tummy was happy that there was absolutely NO chance of cross contamination, I have some mixed reviews about this place. While the food we ordered was good, I think it was a bit overpriced for what you actually get. I got a sandwich and my boyfriend got enchiladas and we each had a cupcake and our total (without tip) was about 40$, which seems a little steep for me considering how bland the food was. Deserts are good, but completely not worth the high price. Although I’m happy we went, I probably wouldn’t go back. I’d recommend for the Celiac crowd, but not for people with other options.
Savannah A — Google review
Very good bakery for Celiacs! Meh for those that can tolerate gluten. Lemon bars lacked a bit of flavor. Cupcakes had a very odd contrast of very, very sweet icing but neutral cake. All is very understandable for because the place is completely gluten free. The service was very nice, and helpful. The bakery has indoor and outdoor seating for those that want to get some work done. Recommendations: * Cupcakes for those that have a sweet tooth. * Try something other than the lemon bar.

Came here for the first time with the wife. We got several cupcakes since they are all gluten free. She like the red velvet the best. She said it wasn’t very moist but it was still very good. I also got the coconut pecan cookie and it was ok. Had more of a cake like taste versus an actual cookie.

This is THE gluten free spot in Austin. If you're celiac, gluten sensitive or just want to have some amazing baked goods then this is the place to be. Every time I come here I have to get a loaf of their rice bread, a cinnamon roll and some kind of dessert. They always have a rotation of different cakes and pies and I have never been disappointed. They even changed up their tiramisu recipe recently and omg it's amazing. Celiacs, when is the last time you had a chicken fried steak? I always order the country fried chicken and it's soul satisfying. This is definitely one of my favorite places and I love the food. I've had some shoddy service there a few times but I can forgive it with how much I love their foods.

We went there last night at 9:50 and were so grateful that they let us in even though they close at 10pm. We ordered the fried chicken steak, the corn dog and the queso with brisket. The chicken fried steak looked really good at first glance but we didn’t like it as much. It was a bit dry, but maybe that’s how the dish is and we’re not used to it. The queso with brisket was really good and we LOVED it. The corn dog was also really good and the sauce was very tasty. Also they give you popcorn for free as an appetizer which was so nice because we were starving.

I had the center cut pork chop and it was absolutely delicious!

The food was very fresh. Popcorn came out as an appetizer. It had had cayenne pepper all over it so it had a kick that I wasn't expecting when it first popped that in my mouth. I recommend the corn dog shrimp. It's nice. Big prawns dipped with a really thin corn dog batter. Delicious with the sauce that had a nice Berry and a mustard. It gave a nice sweet taste before cutting through and reminding you a little bit of regular corn dog. Delicious! Chicken steak was supposed to be a chipotle sauce on top. Somebody forgot the Cayenne chipotle something. The only reason why I knew it was supposed to be a spicy because I bit into the corn muffin on the side and it had a nice kick which fused really well with the rest of the food that I was eating. Wished I gotten the trout as the waiter suggested. Cause chick steak was bland. But if you wanted to fill up, or second meal definitely pick that. Maybe ask for a bit more spice on the side. 😂

The refurbished general store houses an upstairs bar with live music, creating a fun and laid-back atmosphere. Known for serving inventive barbecue, the menu features smoked meats like prime brisket and smoked baby back ribs alongside unique dishes such as crispy wild boar ribs in honey glaze and quail enchiladas.
My husband and I come to Austin on the weekends to try new spots & we stopped by this gem! It was so nice when you walked in & seating was set very well! I got the smoked turkey Reuben with potatoes salad & my husband got the brisket plate. Everything tasted so good and very fresh! Also, the food came out fast! They had 3 different types of bbq sauce; sweet, mustard & spicy. All were so good! Service was great too! We will definitely be back!

We came here at the recommendation of the.Resort. We were seated right away. We got the three meat sampler, macaroni and cheese and the queso with burnt ends and chips for the appetizer. The appetizer came out after we already received our food. All of the meat was a little on the spicier side. The brisket had a lot of fat, and I felt it needed to be smoked longer for the fat to be emulsified. The jalapeno cheddar sausage was hot. The macaroni and cheese had a good flavor. The queso was disappointing.It did not have burnt ends in it, it just had chopped brisket, which is not the same as burnt ends. The complimentary cornbread muffins were not something that we cared for, there was corn in them.

Wanted to try some local BBQ flavours and was so glad I visited this place, tried their three meat sampler and all 3 meats (brisket, sausage and pork rib) were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The store bought bread kinda cheapens it a little bit lol, but I can imagine people preferring it there than not, I just left mine untouched. Visited on a Tuesday evening and it was so busy all I could get was a bar seat immediately. Friendly staff and service. Ambiance was moderately loud with low lit dinner mood lighting. Price guide (as of Oct 2025): Three meat sampler $38 Mourvedre red wine $15 Tax $4.38

I had a wonderful experience eating at this restaurant. I came here per the recomedation of my Uber driver for his favorite: the Chipotle queso with burnt ends, which was fantastic! I also got the 3 meat sampler with the jalapeño cheddar sausage and a side of jalapeño, lemon & garlic roasted broccoli. All the food was delicious, but what made the meal special was Allie, the bartender who helped me. She was very personable, kind & had lots of great recommendations, like to try the Split decision drink with my meal & the Hanger Steak with Cholula butter, avocado salsa verde, broiled jalapeno, and cheddar relleno. I'll definitely get that next time! Thank you for your wonderful recommendations, Allie! I had a fantastic meal & look forward to returning with friends.

Voodoo Doughnut is a quirky counter-serve bakeshop founded by friends Kenneth Cat Daddy Pogson and Tres Shannon in Portland, Oregon. They noticed the absence of a doughnut shop in downtown Portland and decided to fill that gap with their unique concept. The brand's fame for its eccentricity led to the opening of a branch in Austin, Texas, offering creative and wacky doughnuts like the Mango Tango and Voodoo Doll varieties, including vegan options.
Great ambience. Friendly staff. Super quirky vibes. Loved their selection. We had just finished walking the street and popped in here for a treat. I had the Diablos Rex and my son had the Chocolate Coconut. Not disappointed at all! Sumanth

Gourdough's is a renowned donut shop in Austin, known for its extravagant and indulgent donuts that often require utensils to eat. The menu offers a wide variety of unique flavors and toppings, such as the Elvis with caramelized bananas, bacon, and peanut butter. While the prices are on the higher side at around $8 per donut, the experience is well worth it for those seeking a memorable dessert.
Loved this place! Definitely want to go back! Food was absolutely incredible! I was really surprised because I’ve never had a burger on a doughnut before and was really skeptical but when it came out everything looked amazing and tasted just as good! The service was on point we didn’t sit with empty cups she cleared the empty dishes promptly. So much to see and do in Austin and this place is a must go to!

I came into town for a visit and was recommended Gourdough’s as a late-night treat. I tried both a savory donut and a sweet one. The sweet donuts were definitely the highlight. Great structure, fluffy texture, and really nice flavor. For the savory side, I ordered the Ron Burgundy. Unfortunately, it fell a bit flat. The beef lacked seasoning, the sauce was overly messy, and by the time I got it, the donut had gone soggy. As for service: ordering online was easy, but the wait was frustrating. Our order showed as “in progress” for over an hour, and when we finally went to check, the donuts were already sitting there ready, no call or notification. It left me wondering how long they’d been waiting. Overall, worth stopping in for the sweet creations, but I’d pass on the savory.

This is quite possibly the best donut I’ve ever had. I went for the first time this past week and wow! A fun little spot with plenty of seating and some shade as well. Lots of food options and the donuts big and made right there on the spot! My only gripe was the service. I stood at the window for almost 5 minutes before anybody even acknowledged I was there. The workers saw me, but never engaged. Maybe ordering ahead is recommended?

I wanted to love this spot, but it donut meet my expectations; especially for $9. Arrived at 10, so maybe friers weren’t quite warmed up yet since they just opened. Despite being 2nd in line, the donut took close to 15 minutes to come out. Crispness was on point, but flavor was too mild and underwhelming. Honey butter tasted too much like oil, and lacked sweetness. Nothing against Gourdough’s- but parking price was wildly high.

These people are out of their minds! They make nonsense donuts in a stationary Airstream in a parking lot surrounded by tables. Fortunately, they come in two sizes: small and large. The large size is impossible to deal with, and it would especially be impossible to eat more than one. So, I ordered three small ones and had them with the usual American coffee. The first one is called the "Blackout Donut" and is made with brownie batter, chocolate fudge icing, and chocolate-covered brownie bites topped with chocolate syrup. It is a chocolate lover's dream! It's an addictive dessert you won't want to be without. The second, the "Fat Elvis" (the name says it all!), is made with homemade peanut butter icing, fresh grilled bananas, and grilled bacon with honey. It's an ode to fatness, with the grilled bananas blending with the soft peanut butter, which is contrasted by the crisp bacon. A bit of honey mixes it all together, making everything fatter and more mouthwatering. The third, perhaps the simplest, is the "Nutty Valentine Nutella," made with fresh strawberries and cinnamon sugar. After the first two, it sounds almost healthy, but it's not! They are three taste bombs, not only because of the ingredients, but also because of the doughnuts themselves. They are really well made, tasty, and crunchy—really yummy! I'm sorry I haven't tasted any others.

For some reason, I thought these would be yeast-based donuts, but instead they are very much cake based and thick as ever. Good donuts...the toppings are what distinguish these donuts, otherwise, the dough itself is nothing special and very thick and cake-ey. We ordered the banana pudding donut and the breakfast donut sandwich. Recommend for a one or two time check out!

If you have a sweet tooth this donut spot will definitely do the job. Donuts batter they use is amazing! Seating is cute and plenty. They have really improved the environment experience. We got: The BlackOut - orgasmic overload of chocolate (I'm a chocolate lover) Free Bird- delicious with a great touch of strawberries. Both definitely recommend. Well, eat up and enjoy!

Located in the Driskill Hotel at the bustling corner of Sixth and Bravos streets, 1886 Cafe & Bakery pays tribute to its heritage by offering a Victorian tearoom-style setting reminiscent of a lunchroom founded by the Heritage Society in 1886. Since its opening on July 4, 2002, this cafe has become a popular gathering place for both locals and visitors. The menu features mouthwatering Texan comfort food and breakfast classics.
Went for breakfast and it’s some of the best baked goods and coffee I’ve ever had. Plain and simple. I got their waffle and bacon and it was awesome! My wife got the gluten free blueberry muffin and fruit and wow! The atmosphere of this spot, being in the Driskell, is a really cool vibe! 10/10

Amazing atmosphere. Such a sense of History in the hotel. The cafe has great brunch. I had the ladybird egg white omelette. It was so good. I ordered a to-go one to take home to my son. You have to go in and order at the counter and then you can pick where you want to sit, whether it's in the cafe itself or out in the lounge area of the hotel or on the patio. It was great fun

Pretty good breakfast options overall. They had a gluten free muffin which was nice. The Driskill breakfast was good but it seemed a little stingy on the scrambled eggs. We were told that some options were recently scaled down because of new ownership. For example, only whole milk (no skim or 2% for lattes). They also didn't have honey and didn't allow for regular coffee refills. Music was a bit loud in the cafe also but the decor was nice. Staff was very nice and friendly. If you're staying in the hotel it's a quick close option.

The Driskill Café is stunning, with high ceilings, beautiful details, and a warm, historic vibe — definitely worth a visit for coffee or a pastry, which looked delicious in the display. Unfortunately, our breakfast didn’t live up to the setting. My partner had the turkey B.L.T.,which he didn’t enjoy and couldn’t finish — and that says a lot. My yogurt was alright but too sour because of the amount of lemon juice that was in it. If the food had been better, this would have been our go-to breakfast spot in Austin. As it was, we didn’t end up coming back during our stay.

Stopped by here for something sweet, but the guy at the counter seemed to be annoyed that we wanted to order something.

Odd Duck is an upscale restaurant that offers locally sourced New American cuisine and drinks in a modern setting. Originally starting as a food trailer in 2009, it has now become a popular spot on South Lamar for gourmet brunch, lunch, and dinner since opening its brick and mortar location in 2013. The menu changes daily based on seasonal ingredients from local farmers, providing a unique dining experience each time.
If I could give 10 stars I would. We had a 6pm reservation. Liked arriving early, it was very quiet until about 7:15/30 when it really started to fill up. Service was incredible from start to finish. Robert, our server, was the best! He was super knowledgeable, made great suggestions and was very attentive. We had 4 in our party, husband and 2 kids, 19 and 21. We all agreed it was one of our top 3 dinners, ever! Photo of what we ordered in the pics, just duplicate ours, you won’t be disappointed! We LOVED the celery sorbet sundae, sort of had to be talked into it by Robert but he was right!! Really every dish was perfection hard to pick out a favorite, pressed I’d pick cornbread, honeydew salad, and the pasta! Amazing flavors and the right portion size. If we lived here I would want to come back weekly!

A standout experience from start to finish. Odd Duck totally lives up to the hype. Every dish felt creative but grounded. Using local ingredients, bold flavors, and the taste of every dish was insane. The small plates are perfect for sharing (or not), and the cocktail list is just as impressive. Our server/bartender, Joe, was so lovely and incredibly knowledgeable and helped us navigate the menu. The vibe is warm, lively, and very Austin. Highly recommend if you’re into seasonal food done really, really well. Great veggie options- and Joe took time to explain the dishes. Plus there’s a separate veggie menu which was great.

Great news everyone. Perfect restaurants still exist. There are, in fact, bartenders who still know that the relationship with the customer is more important than how good the drink is (and the drinks are still absolutely perfect). There are dishes that cannot be improved and you will be unwilling to share. Order absolutely everything on the menu. Talk to everyone that works here. Also, Erin, thanks again for just an absolutely flawless experience. Cannot wait to be back.

We had a really nice experience at Odd Duck—the service was excellent, with servers who were personable, attentive, and made us feel welcome. For food, we ordered the cornbread, stuffed quail, and blackened redfish. The cornbread is something I had read a lot of praise about, but personally, I thought it was just okay. It comes in a small skillet, but it’s very heavy for an appetizer. The flavor is buttery with a slight kick of spiciness, and I liked the crunchy crust with honey on top. The onion butter served with it is creative and works well at first, but after a few bites, the richness becomes a little overwhelming. I found myself wishing for smaller, multiple cornbreads to give more crust and help reset the palate. The stuffed quail was the star of the night. It had bold, Mexican-inspired flavors that reminded me of a chorizo breakfast burrito—savory, spiced, and delicious. The quail itself was cooked perfectly, tender and juicy. Sitting at the bar, we saw quails hit the grill pretty regularly, so clearly, it’s a popular dish. It definitely lived up to the hype and was the highlight of the meal. The blackened redfish wasn’t what I expected—it leaned more toward Greek flavors than the usual Cajun style. It was still good, especially with the little eggplants that added a fun texture, but it was hard for it to stand out after the quail. We skipped dessert since the menu didn’t look too exciting and we were already pretty full. Overall, Odd Duck delivered great service and some solid dishes, with the quail being the clear winner. The cornbread and redfish had interesting elements, but not everything hit the same high note. I would go back just for the quail. The happy hour deal is really good too.

My family and I would like to give a shout out to Thomas, who literally treated us like family at our visit to Odd Duck last night. We were walk ins and were seated promptly outside by the mister fans which made the environment super comfortable. Thomas gave us all his recs and helped guide the courses. If you go, you must get the cornbread. It’s insanely good. We also devoured the braised goat pizza, antelope tataki tostada, redfish crudo, and thai melon salad. All top notch with incredible flavor. To be honest, my favorite part was hearing each person describe the dish as they delivered it to our table. This place seriously cares about the dining experience and it shows. Thomas’ service was impeccable and he always made sure we had fresh plates and silverware. Thank you Thomas for making sure we had an unforgettable time at Odd Duck! Also, thank you to the most extraordinary valet superstar I’ve met. Audrey took excellent care of our car and had it ready for us in moments! Thanks Audrey! Protip: if you’re driving and want a zero proof beer, get the Best Day Kölsch!

Elizabeth Street Café is a charming establishment that offers a fusion of French and Vietnamese cuisine. Located in South Austin, this café features a delightful garden patio and bright indoor spaces. The menu includes traditional Vietnamese dishes like pho and banh mi, as well as creative French breakfast items. Guests can savor the delectable Ginger-chili Oil Dumplings, marinated in a flavorful sauce with pork, shrimp, water chestnuts, and herbs.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin. The food is just so good. We’ve tried so many things on the menu and have loved it all. Only complaint is service and be a little slow and the seating is tight because it’s a small restaurant but the rest of the experience makes up for it. If you’re looking for great Vietnamese food in the Austin area, this is the spot.

My husband and I visited Elisabeth Street Café on a Sunday for a late lunch, and street parking nearby was easy to find. We were greeted warmly upon arrival and, since we had a reservation, promptly shown to our table. The tables are set quite close together - so, at times when the noise level is not deafening, it kind of feels like a large banquet table as one can overhear conversations from nearby guests. Overall, I had two main concerns during our visit: Noise level: the restaurant was extremely loud. Voices from a large table carried throughout the room, making it difficult to hear my husband even when sitting directly across from him. The atmosphere became uncomfortable, and I would recommend that management consider adding sound-absorbing panels to help balance the acoustics. Food spiciness: while the flavors were bold, the redfish dish was overwhelmingly spicy. I usually tolerate heat quite well, but this level of spice left me with severe reflux, which is very uncommon for me. It would be helpful if the staff asked guests about their spice tolerance before serving dishes prepared with such intensity. Elisabeth Street Café has great potential, with a lovely ambiance and attentive service, but addressing the noise and spice-level concerns would make the dining experience much more enjoyable.

The food was outstanding, a solid 50/10. The presentation, dish choices, flavors, and temperature were all amazing. However, the service left much to be desired. I initially thought I could give them the benefit of the doubt, considering they were transitioning into dinner service, but I was never offered anything to drink beyond the water that their attentive busser provided. Even though I was dining alone, I had to encourage a family of three to seek out their server. The inattentiveness of the staff was frustrating, and I can't honestly recommend this place for a dining experience but I would for take out.

Wonderful food, have been coming here for years from time to time. Been a while however, since I don't live close to Austin anymore. I think it's kind of sad that they don't include a small basket of biscuits & corn muffins as complimentary table service, I suppose they would blame inflation. It hits us all, but these items are very cheap to produce. I would not let this stop me from going... it's just sad to see the little customer service perks go by the wayside. Meatloaf is marvelous, The greens (with cornbread) are my favorite plus the okra & tomatoes!! Also had peach cobbler pie to take home & it was wonderful. To go containers happily provided- plenty of food for 2 meals for me, at least.

Thanks to strong relationships with local farmers, Hoover’s Cooking continues to bring fresh, high-quality ingredients to every plate, honoring the rich traditions of Texas cuisine.

I really wanted to love this place. It was my first time visiting Hoover's Cooking, and it was a special occasion—my father had flown in for his birthday. My sister picked the restaurant because she thought the family-owned feel would remind him of his favorite eatery back home. There were 12 of us, and we were able to reserve the private room, not the main dining area. On the positive side, it was easy to book the private room in person, and it was the perfect space for our gathering. They even let us decorate it, which was a nice touch. Mr. Hoover himself and the host (an older gentleman) were both incredibly kind and welcoming. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there. I would strongly recommend avoiding the restrooms. The food, which is the most important part, was a huge disappointment. My fish was beyond bland—ketchup only got me a third of the way through it. My father's fried chicken was flavorless, and my mother's yams and coleslaw weren't even edible. My little niece wouldn't touch her grilled cheese. I could go on, but let's just say it was our first and last time dining there. Adding to the poor experience, our two wait staff never smiled once and seemed truly unhappy to perform their duties of taking orders and bringing refills. I really wish we had a better experience because Mr. Hoover was a cool guy, and I am a strong supporter of black-owned businesses. In that spirit, I'd say try it for yourself; maybe our experience was an off night.

Wow! The tacos were amazing! Didn’t expect to have such huge tacos! The pulled pork tacos was out of this world. The chicken taco was exceptional too!

The wait wasn't too bad on a Thursday mid-morning, about 25 minutes, they had a variety of selections, mains and sides, friendly service and really good pork short ribs, brisket and carnitas. Their tacos are a really good size and they have multiple size selections for their sides/appetizers. Their chips are really good, hearty enough to hold their delicious queso, ensure you get the extra brisket! The flour tortillas they use for their tacos as well as the Buns for their sandwiches are so soft!

This place single handedly changed my opinion of Tex Mex food. Get here as soon as they open because the line to order and wait after ordering can be 2+ hours long! It’s worth the wait.

This is a brand new build, building and area are beautiful. I'm not from Austin . Valentine's was a recommendation for breakfast tacos Everything was homemade from the tortilla to the slice of brisket. I ordered "The Real Deal Holyfield." it was a little pricey, especially if you're from the Houston area, where we pay $1.99 for a breakfast taco. But let me tell you, I'd pay it again it was that good. Try it and let me know what you think, I'll be waiting for your feedback.

We arrived for lunch and found ample parking available. A line had already formed, but it only took about 10 to fifteen minutes before we ordered. It was a nice day, and we sat in a small covered outdoor area, but there's also indoor seating. This was my first time here, and it didn't disappoint. All three of my holy trinity items (brisket, pork rib, and sausage link) were worth the drive! The brisket taco, "Hollywood Style", was excellent as well! When picking your sides, be sure to include the chips and queso!

I wanted to love this BBQ but I left only liking it a lot. I see why it's praised. The brisket is rich, the ribs are sweet and savory, and the chicken retains it's juicyness. However, the brisket was somewhat dry, the ribs lacked texture, and the chicken tasted like chicken. The tacos are all very good, but I don't see what the fuss is about. Very good is not great, and there are many very good tacos in Texas. I plan to return for breakfast options because I'm excited to fully explore their menu. I left without a favorite because nothing stood out. At the level of BBQ Valentina's aims for, more thoughtful critique is necessary. So, it's very good BBQ, but this isn't a show stopper yet. As of this review on 8/11/22, only the food truck is taking orders and there's limited shade against the sun while waiting in line.

Entry: paid valet parking 1st - the bread is an absolute cannot miss. Incredible. I would hold off on the extra ham and cheese it was a bit unnecessary. 2nd - pasta’s - the highlight of the meal all were fresh and made in house. Highly recommend 3rd - mains - the chicken was good, not great, but a very good texas style smoked chicken. Loved this spot, definitely will come back for the bread and pasta. Perfect for a date night!

Emmer & Rye offers visitors a delicious lesson in Austin's culinary craft. The restaurant's reverence for heritage grains, milled in-house, is the soul of its menu. This fanatical approach results in pasta with a profound, nutty flavor and perfect texture that can redefine the dish. Throughout the menu, expert techniques like fermentation add a startling complexity to each thoughtful plate, showcasing a deep commitment to artisanship. This foundational craft is brilliantly complemented by the evening's main event: the roving dim sum-style cart. This unique service turns dinner into a dynamic experience, delivering a parade of spontaneous, off-menu small plates directly to your table. It’s the perfect way for visitors to sample the kitchen's full creativity, creating a sense of discovery that perfectly captures Austin's charm.

my boyfriend and i came here for our one year anniversary because we love to try all the michelin rated restaurants for special occasions, and we felt very let down by our experience. they started off sitting us 15 minutes late for our reservation, and then brought us 2 dishes we did not order, one that wasn’t even mentioned during our talk with the waitress while figuring out what all to get, and then we ended up feeling so bad about it, even though it wasn’t any fault of our own, we told them they didn’t have to give us the last dish that we actually ordered, even though it’s the one we really wanted. Thankfully they comped the two incorrect pastas and gave us a free cacio e pepe card that we probably won’t be using unfortunately. The food however was pretty good, our favorite being the cacio e pepe and johnny cakes, i didn’t like the ravioli that we didn’t order, but ended up eating, at all; the crudo was good but i feel all crudo taste pretty much the same for us so it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. the rigatoni we didn’t order was good, just not what we wanted, i only ended up trying one piece of the pasta. overall the least desirable experience we’ve had at any of the michelin rated places, probably won’t come back because we left feeling so awkward and like they were annoyed with us even though we did nothing wrong.

This was my second time to Emmer & Rye. The service was excellent and we really enjoyed the food. The carpaccio was a stand out. My only complaint was the temperature in the restaurant was slightly chilly. All else was top notch.

Central Market is a gourmet grocery chain that offers an extensive selection of fresh and prepared foods, local and specialty products, as well as an impressive array of wines and cheeses. The market hosts various food events and live music in its spacious venue. Currently, it is celebrating Citrus Fest, showcasing over 55 varieties of citrus fruits incorporated into a wide range of products such as tortillas, shortbreads, pork chops, beef ribs, and sushi rolls.
Definitely what representative of what you'd expect from a fancy grocery store. A plethora of select organic and fresh foods, all for more expensive prices, but works for me when I need to go to a grocery store in the area. All the produce is organized very well, and there's a wide range of fruits and vegetables you might not find at other stores. However, I was hoping to get some Chinese eggplant and was disappointed there was only regular and baby eggplants. I do find the Gelato there very delicious though! I like to get a pint for $7.

I visited Central Market recently and was genuinely impressed. Everything felt incredibly fresh and well-organized, which made shopping there such a pleasant experience. They carry a lot of premium products that you don’t usually find at a regular H-E-B, which I really appreciated. I loved the freshly baked sourdough they were making right on the spot, and the wine selection was surprisingly diverse. The cheese section was also amazing—tons of variety, and one of the friendly staff members even offered us a tasting when we couldn’t decide. Thanks to that, we found a really delicious cheese to bring home. Overall, it was such a fun and satisfying visit. I’ll definitely be going back!

It’s a nice big grocery shopping center! It’s huge and it has many food items and goods for cooking! They have some restaurants and bakeries inside the store so you really get to have variety of things! Many products are nice and fresh but it’s on a bit more expensive end. We bought a loaf of bread and it was sooo good! Love to get it again! Keep up the good work! Cheers 🥂

Doesn't have my favorite ginger beer, only their overpriced central market brand. Got fresh 5 dollar red currets yesterday and then spoiled the next day. Update: Same with my bananas. Ironically, you know it is an inconvience for people with valid complaints to follow up with your manipulative marketing tactics. You are only giving me resources (through an automatic response) because you don't want other people to see your store as a place that sells products that can't last a single day in a fridge. I will indeed call this number and get a refund on the weak fruits your provided.

First time shopper here and I must say it was an amazing experience! So many unique items to try that I can’t wait to come back and try them all. This location gets packed so I would recommend getting there pretty early to avoid crowds. There are so many items to highlight but what stands out the most for me is the customer service. The staff here is amazing and was very attentive to all of my needs. From the store manager to the ladies in the bakery section being very helpful,this location is top notch!

Ice cream shop
Dessert shop
Lick Honest Ice Creams is a trendy ice cream shop that offers unique flavors made from locally sourced, natural, and sustainable ingredients. Founded by Anthony Sobotik and Chad Palmatier in 2011, the inspiration behind Lick comes from their upbringing near small-town creameries. The ice creams are crafted with non-GMO milk and cream, seasonal fruits, vegetables, herbs from local farms, as well as local spirits, chocolate, honey, sugar, coffee, cheese, and nuts.
At Lick Honest Ice Creams in Austin, the humble scoop is elevated to an art form. Nestled in a cozy, modern space, this local gem serves up a rotating selection of inventive flavors crafted from sustainably sourced, Texas-grown ingredients. The first taste of their signature “Goat Cheese, Thyme & Honey” is a revelation, with the tangy creaminess of the goat cheese balanced by the subtle sweetness of honey and a hint of herbal thyme. Each bite is rich and complex, yet delightfully refreshing. Equally compelling is the “Texas Sheet Cake,” a decadent nod to a beloved Southern dessert. The dense, chocolatey richness, coupled with a satisfying crunch of pecans, perfectly captures the essence of its namesake cake. Even the more familiar flavors like “Dark Chocolate, Olive Oil & Sea Salt” manage to surprise, with the sea salt accentuating the depth of the chocolate and the olive oil lending an unexpected smoothness. Service is friendly and knowledgeable, with staff eager to offer samples and share the story behind each flavor. Prices are reasonable given the quality and creativity on display. Lick is more than just a treat—it’s an experience that celebrates the best of what Austin has to offer, one scoop at a time.

Lick was a recommendation from a couple of people I met. I tried the fresh mint & chocolate chunk, hill country honey & vanilla bean, and chocolate chocolate. The vanilla bean was my favorite of the three. The chocolate chunks with the mint ice cream are on the bitter side. Depending on your preferences, this will be great or not. It does have that refreshing taste. I wasn't a fan of the chocolate chocolate. I haven't figured out why. Give them a try for sure. The customer service people were great. Plus, it's a nice place to eat indoors or outside.

This is some of the best ice cream that I've ever had in Austin. The ingredients are mostly locally sourced; the cream is nearly perfect in thickness, fresh, & very clean.

Enjoy!

Best ice cream flavour selection ever! Wow! I knew I wanted the lemon lavender immediately as soon as I walked in because the whole place smells of lavender! Long line but worth the wait. Also if there’s a long line you know you’re gonna get something good. Loved that we could try flavours too because they each sound fabulous! Very unique and looks like they rotate them out too. The blueberry one even had alcohol in it! Ended up with the thyme, goat cheese and honey and the lemon lavender. Wish there was more of a lavender taste to it but will be back soon for the vegan ice creams! Such a cute little place too. Limited seating so most people were sitting outside on the benches They also have pre packaged pints of ice cream and lots of options for like sundaes or making your own pint. Highly, highly recommended 🍨

Suerte is a contemporary restaurant that offers interior Mexican specialties, snacks, beer, wine, and craft cocktails. Executive chef Fermin Nunez leads the culinary team and brings a refined touch to the menu. The restaurant features surprising chip-and-dip choices, cold and raw dishes like ceviche, as well as hearty options such as goat barbacoa and wagyu New York strip prepared in the Mexican style. The vegetable selection is also noteworthy for its flavorful offerings.
Loved everything I ordered on the menu and special shout out to the tres leches cake which was outstanding. I especially loved their ceviche and tuna appetizers as well - very fresh and cirtrusy. Drinks were amazing - I had the melon frozen drink and would highly recommend. My friend had a non-alcoholic cocktail which was also excellent.

One of the best in Austin for sure. Better than Este! I recommend reservations, there was a line before they even opened. Parking is a bit tricky, super small lot but paid street parking available. The staff was friendly and cool. The vibe inside was dark and moody, lots of conversations. Their tequila selection was sooo impressive. I hate when you go to a place and ask for a fancy tequila and they are out of it. They were also SO quick with the drinks. Impressively fast, we were never left thirsty. The food was incredible. Loved the ceviche with the apple broth. The tuna hibiscus aqua chile was great too. Loved the frijoles de veneno AND OMG THE HOUSE MADE TORTILLAS. Also, you have to get the sweet papas (at the bottom of the menu). Amazing. Loved every bite. The desserts were impressive too. The seasonal scoop was actually our favorite bite, lavender. So gentle and smooth. The chocotaco is a MUST. Not like the one you ate as a kid! We stayed for over 2 hours, left stuffed and happy.

The place is beautiful, the service was great, and the food was absolutely delicious. I can truly say the ingredients taste authentically Mexican. I ordered a quesadilla since we arrived about 15 minutes before dinner time, and they kindly told me I could wait if I wanted to order from the dinner menu — but honestly, the quesadilla was amazing! My son had tacos and my husband ordered a tlayuda, and everything tasted fantastic. The only downside was that we had just arrived after almost a 4-hour road trip and were starving. The portions are more like appetizers, not full meals — perfect for snacking, but not enough if you’re really hungry. The prices are also on the higher side. I ordered a sope from the dinner menu (I imagined something about the size of a street taco), but when it arrived it was tiny — more like a bite-sized snack! We couldn’t help but laugh; it was delicious, but gone in one bite 😂. Overall, great flavors, wonderful service, and a lovely atmosphere — just keep in mind that the portions are small and prices are not cheap.

A lovely experience at a bucket list restaurant. Suerte is a must-eat, and it is a love letter to food. The location is lovely, and the decor is modern but you don’t feel ill at ease. The wait staff is stellar, and are truly superstars! My group was waited on by Emily, who was fantastic- but we met other faces too! They’re great at customer service, from friendly conversation to accommodating allergies. The experience was seamless. The food was better than I could have ever expected, especially the carnitas, and their lovely hibiscus drinks and dessert. Every dish was its own experience that I can remember distinctly, nothing blended together in my memory. Their tortillas live up to everything I read about them. Trust me, you’ve gotta get desserts- my best friend cried over the Tres Leches cake! For guests with sensory needs, Suerte can be a bit busy on the inside- I recommend outdoor seating for a quieter experience (I know, outdoors in a big city isn’t usually quiet, but it was for us!). The inside is lively and bustling. The price can vary! You can eat for around 30 dollars a head before tip, but the best experience for a group of four for us cost about ~59 dollars per person, tip included. Their family style dishes would probably feed two people if you only order one. We ended up getting three, with sopes. Thank you Suerte team!!!

Dai Due is a renowned farm-to-table restaurant and butcher shop in Austin, Texas. Since its establishment in 2006, it has been a focal point of the community, offering locally sourced ingredients and an ever-changing menu. The rustic space provides a charming setting for enjoying their diverse offerings, which include an array of charcuterie, sandwiches, farm-fresh sides, and unique desserts that change daily.
We came here to celebrate our anniversary and had a wonderful time. We truly appreciated the team's excellent service. Food: The restaurant follows a farm-to-table concept, making everything fresh and high-quality. We ordered several items, but my favorite dish was the Lion’s Maine mushroom appetizer. - Green Salad: This was a light start to the meal. It had a stronger salt and citrus flavor, but I enjoyed it. - Lion’s Maine: This dish had a more pronounced acidity, but it balanced nicely with the green onions and grilled sourdough bread. - Dry-aged Longhorn Cheeseburger: It was good, but nothing exceptional. - Beef Fat Fries: These house-cut fries came with beet ketchup and chili mayo - Colossal Pork Chop: This was seared well and lightly seasoned, allowing the quality to shine through. While it was nice, it was on the fattier side. Service: Our server, Ana, was attentive and friendly, and we loved her energy. Ambiance: The decor was barn-house themed, creating a casual and welcoming yet semi-formal atmosphere. Overall, I loved the restaurant's concept, and the team was great. While I wasn’t blown away by the food, it was more on the comforting side. I’m looking forward to returning next time to try other items on the menu.

Amazing food; especially love the grilled pork chops. Menu changes constantly: Have been back multiple times already. Great dining environment. Very limited parking. Be prepared to park in the residential areas across the street during peak dining hours. Be prepared to make reservation 1-2 weeks in advance if you have a large party.

I have been hearing about this restaurant through various sources like the Meateater podcast, Jesse’s books, etc. I finally got a chance to eat here and it did not disappoint. My girlfriend was skeptical as she is not a game meat eater but the burger she had was “the best burger of her life”. My dinner was equally good and both starters we got were incredible. Next time I’m in town I plan on making another visit.

Stopped by for their brunch, which is available 3 days a week. Biscuit with butter and jam, carnitas flautas and the longhorn cheeseburger were our choices for the afternoon. The biscuit with jam was tasty, with no complaints. The flautas were surprisingly girthy with plenty of meat inside. Something you don't see to often with this particular Tex-Mex dish. I'm never been a huge fan of flautas generally, so this did not blow my socks off, but overall a reccomend if interested. Lastly, we split the longhorn cheeseburger. Very juicy and messy, but tasty. The burger was not trying to do too much, but had it's own personality and was made with care. With all Due respect, why aren't you on your way to Dai Due? 4.5/5

Food was good but the price : food wasn’t worth it (but we come from Houston where food is cheaper and we get more). The service was good - frequent refills, check ups, and care but also slow. We didn’t make a reservation but were seated within 10 minutes. We made our order and waited almost 15 minutes to get our appetizer and then another 15-30 minutes for the main meal. The three of us ordered to share the boar confit, cheese burger, sourdough, and potatoes caroline. Our favorite was the boar confit but altogether the flavors were good but not great

Great food. I had the seasonal dish: Grilled Wild Boar Filipino Longanisa Sausage with garlic rice, grilled eggplant salad, chives and an egg. It was excellent. They no longer sell sliced sausage or charcuterie out the front butcher cabinet, but there is still some frozen fresh ground sausages, bone broth, and their cookie dough in the freezer up front to purchase along with Jesse Griffiths books, some coffee beans, Dai Due apparel, etc.

We showed up at 1pm on a Saturday thinking we may need a reservation but they seated us right away. Had the wild boar sandwich and the antelope sausage burger with beef talow fries. Was delicious! The service was also good and we were able to take biscuits to go. The only thing was the sandwich had a bit too much of mayo. I'd order it on the side next time. Would definitely come again!

There is no praise that this restaurant doesn't deserve. Ethically hunted game meat and in-season local produce ensures that your meal is high quality and guilt-free. We had the longhorn burger and wild boar chops (menu changes based on season) and it was everything and more than we expected. Fries are fried in beef tallow. Visit as often as you can!

Our server, Lilly, was wonderful—super friendly and on the ball, along with the rest of the team who worked in concert. The pacing of our meal was spot on.

Even as a vegetarian with limited options, everything I tried here was fantastic! The eggplant dish was the family favorite, but the green peas with garlic and the veggie fried rice were also absolutely delicious. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. I’m already looking forward to coming back! Pro tip: Make a reservation in advance—this place is very popular, and for good reason! Bonus points for the super clean, modern restrooms with bidets—so fancy and appreciated! The overall vibe of the restaurant is welcoming and stylish, making the whole experience even better.

I have always been a supporter of Lins ever since they opened the first restaurant on West 6th. I took my parents there when they visited in 2019 and they met Lins husband and found out we were from the same region. My friends and I celebrated birthdays there, big moves, life events, etc and during the pandemic I pulled up and ordered take outs from time to time. I also supported Qi, Lin at the Grove and spent my hard earned money at Lings Kitchen. It was totally disappointing and honestly disgusted to receive the type of service tonight at the original location. My parents were coming from out of town and running late so I called ahead, twice and talked to someone on the phone, informed them we would be late. The person on the phone said all good. When we showed up to the restaurant we were treated poorly by Martin, who showed us to two chairs at the corner of the bar right next to the walkway. He also didn't listen when I mentioned my mom recently had hip surgery and couldn't sit there. The worst part was when he told me straight to my face that he was on the phone all day and I didn't call him tonight to tell him we were running late. You didn't have to lie to me my guy, you can simply tell me you gave away our table and I would had felt better. Rude and disrespectful were his actions. As someone who also works in the service industry I expected more and a bit more professionalism. There were plenty of tables available on a Monday. I guess Martin didn't think my mom and I could afford or order enough dim sum at his fine 6th Street establishment. That's fine, Daisy and her team at Clarks were awesome, highly accommodating, friendly and professional, and offer a table inside with no fuss. Take your money to long time Austin establishments like Clark's, Kome, Josephine House, heck take your parents and your $ to Koriente and the staff there will treat you better, go to Pterrys and you will get better service than Martin. Visit the uncles and aunties at Ho Ho, Julie's Noodles, Asia Cafe, and Rice Bowl, good service, good food, and better experience

Although Lin Asian Bar is likely a lovely establishment with tasty food, I have to leave a 1 star review because I cannot abide poor service. The man at the front of the house did not show that he was well trained in accommodating guests. I walked into the restaurant with my party and put down our names to be seated after a 45-minute wait. But on arriving after the wait time (which I believed meant that seating had become available) I was told that the table we were given would be needed back within on hour (which was 45 minutes later). Why would I wait 45 minutes to be seated only to be told that I should rush my meal? This does not make any sense to me. And it must mean that the man welcoming guests is not properly trained. His service left a poor taste in my mouth.

Nestled in a bright and rustic-chic setting, Oseyo is redefining the brunch experience with its delightful fusion of homestyle Korean cuisine and craft cocktails. The talented chef duo, Mike Diaz and James Beard nominee Laura Sawicki, have crafted a menu that creatively marries American flavors with traditional Korean elements. While brunch isn't typically part of Korean culinary tradition, Oseyo's offerings are anything but ordinary.
Finally leaving a review after visiting a few times in the last few months! While service can be a little slow, especially on the patio - the drinks, food and atmosphere definitely make up for any shortcomings! That’s why we keep coming back! We usually get something from each section of the menu and with big portions, usually have leftovers. It’s a bit elevated Korean food and flavors are spot on, just not too spice to start with. They will bring space or modify if you ask, but food is perfectly balanced. Cocktails are clean and lots of non sugary options. If you can, try to sit outside, it’s a lovely little oasis to watch sunset. Doesn’t feel like you are right on Cesar Chavez! But inside is lovely and you can usually get bar seating without a reservation. (Tock for reservations)

I went to Oseyo for happy hour with some friends. And it was okay. I was hoping for upscale food with Korean flavors (which I would have understood the prices), but it was "standard" Korean food with higher price tag. We ordered the Tteokboki (spicy rice cakes), "tong dak", fried mandu, steamed mandu, and the banchan flight. A big challenge I had was around portions. In my experience growing up with Korean food there is a big presence on communal meal and sharing the portions offered were for solo dining. Tteokboki is like a staple of Korea, it hits all the right flavors if done well. The one at Oseyo was bland and the spice was muted. Also to charge $15 for that portion size. I was confused when the Tong Dak came out. Not pictured. So tong Dak that I grew up with is a whole chicken fried (no batter like fried chicken). What I got was 4 pieces -5 pieces of chicken with a thick crunch batter and a standard korean spicy sauce (which is yangnyum chicken). The batter to chicken ratio was off but it was fine. The challenge I had was around the naming convention because this was not tong Dak. The mandoo was pretty solid the only major critique in the steamed version they had a sea of soy sauce on the bottom and personally for me I like to dip and not coat in soy sauce. The final thing the flight of banchan was not good. Things were over pickled and just sour to the point. Also banchan is a freebie at any Korean restaurant ive visited so this was not the vibe to charge $14. Prices listed are the menu price not the happy hour price. The staff were super helpful and really kind. Parking is quite limited.

I have celiac disease and they were knowledgable about which options I should avoid for cross contamination concerns, plus there were loads of gluten free options. The bartender was friendly and welcoming, as was every other staff member I interacted with. The people who work there seem to enjoy working together which created a sense of warmth and community, making an already great experience even better. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in town next!

I tried the hot pot ramyun and makgeolli and I'm not sure I was really tasting a lot of Korean authenticity. The makgeolli too was very sharp and not smooth, thicker than usual, and missing any kind of sweetness or good sourness, just super tangy without the sweet creaminess expected. On the bright side, the ramyun flavours were decent, pork belly was abundant and super tender, and the portion was so huge that I basically had another meal from it after taking half of it to go. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Ambiance was light and bright with welcoming natural earthy coloured items and influences. They have secured wifi for guest - just ask the waitress for password, handy for us overseas travellers especially when service gets shoddy in some areas. Overall it's probably more western influenced Korean fusion but definitely above average experience. Price guide ( as of October 2025): Ramyun $24 Makgeolli (one bowl) $14 Tax $3.30 Card surcharge $0.93 Total $42.25 (before tip)

Food is okay, fusion korean, good but doesn't really taste like korean. Nice environment. Sesame ice cream is very unique, worth a try.

Wow. Did not expect this level. Great great food. The service was also excellent. We started with a martini and mezcal cocktail. WOW, we loved the freshness to start our meal. Then we skipped the starters bc it looked ok and got a chicken sizzler rice wrap. And the kimchi bokkeumbap- the best thing ever. Huge portions too. We ended up being tempted with the homemade oolong tea tiramisu, completely worth it. Safe to say - great vibes, great experience and a must try. Very surprised about the mixed reviewed.🤠🤠

Nixta Taqueria is a vibrant and popular counter-serve restaurant located on East 12th Street. It's known for serving traditional Mexican food with a modern twist, including top-notch tacos and tostadas made with their famous corn tortillas. The colorful building is adorned with beautiful murals, creating an inviting atmosphere. Additionally, the restaurant supports community relief efforts through partnerships with organizations like Austin Mutual Aids Free Fridge Project.
Pros: great food presentation. Simple but full of flavor. Fun atmosphere and very kind team. They seem to really believe in their quality and food which was nice to see. Cons: I don’t mind paying for quality but I do think the food is a bit overpriced. Had it been full service it would make more sense.

Great taquería that deserves the acclaim. The salsas are a shockingly good star in a show of star tacos. The salsa sampler order is good enough to order on its own. The tacos are great, with a few vegetarian options available. The best is the carnitas taco. It's got a perfect balance of savory flavors. Order outside when you arrive and try to get a table inside. It's a small but worthwhile interior for the service and smell.

Had an amazing dining experience at Nixta Taqueria in Austin, a true fine-dine Mexican spot that exceeded expectations in every way. We were a group of three and ordered quite a variety — Beetroot Taco, Duck Taco, Tuna Tostada, and Chicken Taco — and every single dish was bursting with unique flavors and beautifully presented. The food was absolutely incredible — a solid 5/5 across the board. The staff and service were exceptional, attentive without being intrusive, and clearly passionate about what they do. The vibe of the place was warm, modern, and energetic, creating the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed evening with friends. We also tried a few drinks, and they complemented the food perfectly — refreshing and well-balanced. The only small challenge was finding parking, but once seated, everything else made up for it completely. It’s one of those places that makes you appreciate the artistry behind good food. If you’re in Austin and want to experience elevated Mexican cuisine with a creative twist, Nixta Taqueria should definitely be on your list. Must-try: Beetroot Taco & Tuna Tostada 🌮🍹

We enjoyed the visiting chefs middle eastern brunch event and will look for future events. The food was amazing, the owners were hospitable and lovely. The staff was in constant motion to make our day enjoyable. We enjoyed our brunch but a sun shade down the side of the pergola would have kept my silverware from becoming too hot to pick up. The communal seating was fine, really depends on who you get matched with. I’d try to fill a table next time. The reason for our visit was the chefs talent and they brought it. Enjoyed EACH and EVERY dish. So glad KG bbq is hometown as we visit him often. Fav dish was the milk bread with whipped ricotta.

Nixta Taqueria feels like your grandma’s taco joint met fine dining. It was warm, soulful, and elevated in all the right ways. You can feel the passion and creativity from the husband-wife duo behind this place. From the moment we sat down, the hospitality was exceptional. Natalia, the wine manager, helped us select an excellent bottle and even surprised us with an extra sparkling pour as a thoughtful gesture when we told her we were new to Austin and thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience thus far. Sara, the owner, even gave us a post-dinner garden tour that made the whole experience feel extra personal and special. The food was phenomenal, with the bean and cheese taco and suadero taco as standouts. And I’m still thinking about the beet “tartare” — such an inventive, flavorful take that somehow tastes like the real thing. The chips and salsa trio was also a must-order (I’d skip the avocado crema, the salsas shine on their own). Nixta is the perfect mix of heart, craft, and creativity. Easily one of the most unique yet quintessentially Austin dining experiences. We can’t wait to return to try their taco omakase!

So you wanna eat tacos but also want to feel like you’re doing something morally superior? Welcome to Nixta Taqueria, where handmade tortillas meet farmers-market fever dreams and every taco sounds like a TED Talk on sustainable cilantro. They’ve got a menu that reads like your wine-loving sister-in-law’s vision board. It’s colorful, eclectic, and definitely trying to do something different but in a good way. The food? Super fresh and super flavorful, the tacos lean more “art project” than “street food.” The vibe’s chill, the garden out back is beautiful, and the whole place feels like a cool friend’s backyard dinner party. Only downside? Service wasn’t exactly warm and fuzzy, which took a little shine off the experience. Still, worth a visit when you’re feeling adventurous and considering coloring your hair blue.

Nixta has the best tacos you can have, well prepared, with one foot in tradition and another in creativity. But it's not enough to be creative - it's also worth observing that the flavors were spot-on, and incredibly well-balanced. Just for instance, one of the stand-outs was the melon salad, with a chile puree underneath. The combination of sweet, salty, spicy, with a little bitter kick was one of the best bites I've had in a long time. I like it so much I came back again over a weekend-long trip, and the second time, ordered different stuff that was just as good. The whole staff is also chill, friendly, and welcoming. I asked how the chile puree got made, and Edgar told me without missing a beat. I'm looking forward to coming back.

Hotel Van Zandt is a trendy and upscale accommodation located in the vibrant Rainey Street district of Austin. The hotel offers stylish rooms and luxurious suites, as well as chic dining options, a laid-back cafe, and a lively rooftop pool with a bar. The lobby is particularly impressive with unique light fixtures made from trombone bells. Guests can enjoy live music throughout the week and take advantage of the complimentary social hour every day.
We recently returned to Hotel Van Zandt for a special weekend to celebrate my wife's birthday. Having stayed here before and created wonderful memories, it felt like the perfect place to revisit — and it did not disappoint. We took advantage of the Summer Splash special, which included credits for the Pool Bar and Brass Poppy. At check-in, the staff warmly explained how the credits worked, and we immediately felt like VIPs. Their attention to detail and hospitality set the tone for the rest of our stay. Our accessible room was thoughtfully designed, especially the roll-in shower, which was ideal for my wife’s needs. It made a big difference in her comfort and enjoyment throughout the weekend. Everywhere we went — from the Pool Bar to Brass Poppy — the food was delicious, and the service was even better. The bartenders were genuinely friendly, always taking a moment to wish my wife a happy birthday and helping her feel truly celebrated. Check-out was seamless, and I really appreciated that all our credits had already been applied — no need to follow up or ask. That kind of smooth experience just reinforces how well this hotel takes care of its guests. All in all, this stay exceeded our expectations and made for a beautiful birthday celebration. We’ll definitely be back.

I had an incredible stay at Hotel Van Zandt! From the moment I pulled up, the valet team set the tone—they were quick, professional, and genuinely welcoming, which made arriving and leaving completely stress-free. The entire experience was top-notch: the lobby and common areas have a stylish, upscale vibe, the rooms were spotless and comfortable, and the atmosphere captured the perfect Austin energy—modern, lively, but still relaxed. Staff throughout the hotel were attentive without being overbearing, and everything felt seamless, from check-in to checkout. Whether it was enjoying the amenities, relaxing in the room, or just taking in the overall vibe, Hotel Van Zandt really delivered on every front. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Austin who wants a first-class experience with a local touch! And Meghan is very tasty.

Spent a couple of nights on a short business trip to Austion. The room was spacious and well equipped. Bed was very comfortable. The hotel lobby is nicely decorated as is the main bar. I grabbed breakfast at the 605 Cafe in the hotel and the potato, egg, and cheese taco was delicious. I also had dinner at Giraldi's and the Halibut dish was outstanding.

I’ve stayed at Hotel Van Zandt before and always enjoyed the experience, especially at the pool. Forrest, who helps with umbrellas, is always friendly and welcoming, and the bartenders at the pool level have always been great. Unfortunately, my visit today was disappointing and very different from what I’ve come to expect. When I arrived, I noticed that servers were not coming by the pool chairs to take orders. I asked a staff waiting near the bar Olivia; if anyone would be walking around to serve drinks and or take orders and she replied bluntly, “We’ve never done that,” and added that it wasn’t her job to serve anyone who wasn’t in a cabana. This was surprising to me, as in the past there’s always been staff checking on guests by the pool chairs. What bothered me more was her tone—it felt dismissive and unprofessional. Later, I noticed her walking around the pool once more people arrived, taking orders from other guests who were not in cabanas, yet skipping over me and another guest. We are both women of color, and it felt very deliberate that she excluded us. Even after I mentioned it to another staff member, she continued this behavior, which made me feel unwelcome and singled out. To be clear, the front desk staff, Forrest, and most of the team are always superb—that’s why I’ve come back multiple times. But this particular encounter left me with a very bad impression. A place I used to recommend to others now feels different, and I’m not sure I’d return because of how uncomfortable and excluded I felt.

While the location and staff were excellent, the venue itself could use a little TLC beyond the lobby. The hallways are quite dark likely to draw attention away from the more worn areas and the rooms feel a bit work (knicked and word). That said, everything was clean, and the service was great. Overall, it wasn’t a bad stay, but I’m not sure I’d choose to stay here again. PS: the music on the side of the hotel facing Homewood Suites was pretty intense and went on until around 2 a.m. If you’re a light sleeper or that kind of noise isn’t for you, this might not be the best property for you.

From start to finish, the staff at Hotel Van Zandt made our experience feel very personal. Each staff member was friendly, helpful and available to us at every turn. We loved the entire property...from the vast and warm lobby space to our spacious suite, from the pool to the restaurants and bars...it was not just a place to sleep while we explored Austin but a place we wanted to make time for! The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do.

If you're looking for a great place to enjoy a cold beer, delicious food and amazing patios, Easy Tiger is the spot for you! The Central Austin location has been serving up delicious food and drinks for years, and their Patio Army gives you plenty of room to relax. Whether it's their famous pastrami sandwich or breakfast sandwich, Easy Tiger will have something that hits the spot.
Our group has been coming here monthly on a Sunday morning for about two and a half years. Locally owned with yummy baked goods, good coffee/espresso drinks, and delicious meals. My go-to is the breakfast bowl with either avocado, bacon or pastrami. The special/seasonal pastry was an Earl Grey (I think?) fig scone. It had too many figs for my 21 year old daughter but I thought it was perfect! My other favorites are the bacon scallion cream cheese, the Brussels sprouts, pastrami, cranberry walnut bread, and the almond croissant. It is large so there’s always a table inside or outside, never a wait. We also love that parking is easy. Their bread is so good you can also buy it at HEB, just not all the varieties. They also have a good selection of local craft beer on tap but I usually go for brunch.

Delivers a well-rounded experience with solid marks across the board. The food is fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented. The service is attentive and friendly, striking a nice balance between casual and efficient. Despite all that, it did take a bit of time during peak hours. Atmosphere-wise, the spot offers a relaxed, laid-back vibe with communal seating and a modern beer garden feel, perfect for hanging out with friends or enjoying a solo bite. Overall, it’s a great place to unwind, grab a drink in a welcoming environment.

Awesome experience. The marketing style of American Traditional is super consistent across the social media, the wall art, the fonts, the decor. Group trivia was happening on the patio when we were there on a Tuesday night, we didn’t play but had lots of fun listening to the chatter. I ordered the Veggie Patty Melt with the waffle fries, dang was it good. Impressed with the complexity of the flavors on such a simple dish. Highly recommend.

I usually come here for meetings every month, the music was was too loud for the outdoor area and couldn’t be turned down. The new menu isn’t too great. I could not order avocado toast after 12pm. I got this salad for $16 which is pretty steep for the lack of presentation of it. Overall spent $220 here today and wasn’t happy. They also said the upstairs area is no longer available to the public. I will not be having my meetings here anymore.

Great spot to get a coffee/beer. We’ve been here a few times to watch football games (they have TVs indoors as well as outdoors). We also visited one time after dinner (looking for a dessert) and although it was late (about 20 minutes before closing time) they still had a few bakery items - we got a danish and a concha and both were good.

Restaurant
Korea House Restaurant, located in the Village Shopping Center on West Anderson and Burnet Road, has been a staple of Austin's dining scene for over 30 years. This cozy spot offers classic Korean dishes like bibimbap, bulgogi, and japchae alongside an array of side dishes. One must-try dish is the budae-jjigae, a hearty army base stew packed with various ingredients.
Had a delicious, comforting, and satisfying lunch here! We stopped by on a whim and were seated right away. The restaurant has a relaxed, welcoming vibe and was pleasantly busy for lunchtime without feeling crowded. I ordered the chicken bulgogi lunch special, which came with soup, salad, and a generous spread of banchan. The bulgogi arrived sizzling hot on a cast iron plate—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The side of rice made it a hearty, well-balanced meal. Service was excellent—everyone was incredibly kind and attentive without being overbearing. I’ll definitely be back soon. A great spot for a cozy and delicious Korean lunch!

Korea House offers some delicious authentic Korean food at a fair price. The staff is friendly and polite. We only had to wait for a brief moment to be seated. First off, it was refreshing to get a large variety of banchan. Each one was tasty, from the fish cake, cucumber kimchi, soy potato, cabbage kimchi, daikon radish, to korean peppers. Also, they don't charge extra if you want more (becoming rare these days). The dishes are flavorful and addicting. I recommend the dolsot bibimbob, Korean pancake, ojingeo bokkem, and bulgogi. Keep up the great work! 🙂🙏🏼

The exterior of Korea House is really serene with a peaceful pond, a little bridge, and calming zen music that set a nice tone before we even walked in. Inside, the space is roomy and comfortable, and the service was very warm and friendly. We sat in the non-BBQ section. We ordered the pork bibimbap, japchae, and kimchi pancake. The banchan that came with our food was plentiful and had a lot of variety. The rice in the bibimbap was mushy and lacked flavor. The kimchi pancake was bland, and the japchae noodles were a bit too chewy. Even though my friend was so excited for me to try this place, it didn’t live up to my expectations.

Korea House is tucked away but there’s a not so bright sign that points you towards the right direction. Before you walk in there’s a peaceful lil pond w dainty lil lights. I was promptly greeted and sat by the cutest lil halmeoni. Green flag. Immediately, I became even more excited for what Korea House had to offer. I ordered the haemul pajeon stir fried octopus and galbi tang. The food came out fast and hot. About $20 per entree. Large variety of banchan. The establishment was welcoming and very clean. I liked the big open windows/wood accents. Service was also so friendly and kind. The owner, Vivian, was so sweet and told me that Korea House is the oldest Korean restaurant in Austin! Because ChoSun closed down I would consider this the most authentic Korean Restaurant in ALL of Austin. I hope they stay open forever. All in all:Cozy. Authentic. Delicious. Come here if you miss your grandma’s cooking and want to eat a warm hug.

UPDATE: First, I need to get this out of the way—this is probably the first and last time Korea House will ever prepare Soondae Guk for anyone. The ingredients (to get it perfectly right) are very hard to find in Austin. Because I am Korean myself and a regular at Korea House, I begged the owners to put an end to my search (4+ years) for authentic Soondae Guk (my favorite dish) in Austin by specially preparing it themselves. They were kind enough to prepare a Soondae Guk feast for me and my friends (a group of ten). It was also pretty pricey ($25/serving, which is higher than their usual $16 - $20/serving for their guk dishes on the menu). I also asked if they would put it on the menu, but they told me that it would hurt the business, most likely because less people would get it for its higher price and the profit margin is probably much lower than the dishes they offer, which I totally understand. It was perfect. Best Soondae Guk I've tried in the USA and holds its own against the ones in Korea. From the first smell, I knew this was the real deal (oh, how much I had missed this wonderful smell). The blood sausages was cut by the chef herself (you can tell that this wasn't some cheap factory Soondae) and tasted great, the intestines and liver (and other mystery pork meat) had the perfect bite and was full of flavor explosions, the bone broth was rich, and they provided all the essential garnishes and seasonings (chopped green onions, toasted ground sesame seeds, dadaegi seasoning paste, and salted shrimp). They also served it with rice (of course) and plenty of their usual side dishes, which I always love (except one of them). They checked in with us a few times to see if everything was great, and we had no complaints. Best dinner I've had in a while. 10/10 highly recommend if they serve it again (which they won't for now). A good idea would be for them to add it on their menu as a special request or a preorder item and let people make reservations for it... just an idea. Their other dishes are great too, so be sure to check them out if you haven't already... and remember, the first Wednesday of every month is FREE (within their condensed menu). ORIGINAL REVIEW: Best homestyle Korean restaurant in Austin. I've been here several times. The first Wednesday of each month is free, but the menu has much more variety and items to choose from when you pay, and portions are much larger as well. The items to choose from are still alright when I went for the free meal, and I would say one of the items on that free menu is among the best tasting out of the dishes I have tried regardless of paid or free. The food is mostly authentic, but I do feel like a couple of dishes were modified maybe to suit the American taste buds or because they just wanted to put their own spin on them. For example, I had the Yukaejang, and I felt like it was too peppery (not too spicy though) and covered up the bone broth flavor a bit, but it was still pretty good. The spicy baby back ribs was pretty good as well, and it had a nice sweet touch to it (not that spicy for my taste buds). I think the Bulgogi is too sweet, but it still tastes good. All these complaints are minor though. My favorite is only on the free menu, and that is the radish ribeye stew. It tastes similar to a Yukaejang and it has a very nice, rich beef flavor. They need to add this to their paid menu! I think the free meal every first Wednesday of the month is a great idea. It is good for the community and I would bet it also helps the business by letting people try the food first so that they can come back whenever they are craving some Korean food.

I’ve been eating at Korea house for a few years now & primarily order on DoorDash. I always get the bulgogi, side dishes & tonight tried the kimchi mandoo. (It was SO good) I didn’t realize how close it is to my work and home but was pleasantly surprised when I found out that they did free meals once a month. I wanted to go & see for myself and we did come a bit towards the end so there was a bit of a wait but it was well worth it. They are a small women ran team and although shortage of staff they flipped all of the tables and kept it going until 8 pm. Everyone that showed up left with a warm homemade felt meal & I loved that they filled the empty seats so that people could converse. Everyone was laughing, enjoying their meals, and we’re all so appreciative of Korea house giving back into our community. It was such an incredible experience & I hope everyone remembers to tip extra the next time that they come to visit. 💞

The South Congress Hotel is a trendy and chic accommodation located in the hip South Congress neighborhood of Austin. The hotel features stylish rooms and suites with a minimalist design, offering an eclectic dining experience, a rooftop pool, and bar. The spacious lobby provides several semi-private seating areas, while the lively bar is furnished with mid-century modern decor. Guests can enjoy amenities such as the his-and-hers 'love kit' in the rooms and a cool brass bottle opener to take home as a souvenir.
First off, the staff here is genuinely awesome. Check-in was smooth and whenever we had questions (like where to grab the best breakfast tacos - crucial info!), they were super helpful and friendly. You can tell they actually care about making your stay great. The room was really nice - clean, comfortable bed, and I loved the design; very stylish. Had everything we needed and the shower was actually hot with good water pressure (you know how hit or miss hotel showers can be). But honestly, the location is what makes this place special. You’re right in the middle of everything on South Congress. We walked to dinner, browsed the shops, caught some live music, and didn’t need to drive anywhere. Perfect for soaking up that weird Austin energy everyone talks about. Definitely staying here again next time we’re in town. If you’re looking for a solid place to stay in Austin that puts you right where you want to be, this is it. Worth every penny.

My wife and I stayed at South Congress Hotel as a little in-town staycation over Labor Day weekend. Based on our experience, I’d recommend room 301 specifically. That room offers a balcony, overlook of the pool shenanigans, and a view of the hill country. It’s also a very comfortable room. Only downside, the in-room fridge wasn’t working when we were there, but the front desk was happy to bring us ice. … The hotel is beautifully located to enjoy South Congress. Complimentary parking is appreciated. Room service is good, although I wish they stayed open a little later. The pool is very pleasant on a warm day. … Very good experience. Would recommend.

My husband and I used the hotel for our room block and wedding...it was the best weekend of our lives! Erin and Lexi with the event planning team were simply unreal to work with. They were responsive, efficient, and made sure to go above and beyond to make sure we had everything that we needed. There was a mechanical issue with the AC in the Milton suite that we were using to get ready in and Erin made sure that there was multiple portable ACs in the room so we weren't warm....we were actually cold, ha! She figured out a solution in 0.2 seconds and made sure we were kept in the loop. The food at the wedding was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Every guest was saying how it was incredible and came out HOT (which is a big deal, ha!). The drinks were flowing and soooo tasty. The staff who worked the wedding were kind, fast, and went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I also had drinks. Wedding cake was extremely yummy too!! The hotel's venue space was ICONIC. As a couple who live in Austin, we wanted our guests to get the Austin vibe. From the lobby, courtyard, surrounding restaurants in the hotel, hotel bar, reception space....hotel rooms...everything was perfect. The customer service at this hotel is top tier for guests staying at the hotel AND for wedding couples. I highly recommend any and all couples wanting to get married in Austin to book this space. You WILL be happy. Your guests will also love to stay here with the room block!!

I adored my stay at South Congress Hotel. The location is unbeatable - right in the heart of Austin’s most vibrant area, surrounded by great food, live music, and local shops, yet the hotel still feels calm and tucked away. The room was stylish and comfortable, with thoughtful touches that make you instantly relax. The gym and rooftop pool were a highlight. Louis was so warm and accommodating, and Franny went above and beyond to make my stay feel personal and memorable. It’s rare to find that kind of genuine hospitality. This hotel captures everything I love about Austin - creative, elevated, and welcoming. I can’t wait to come back.

Had a great stay at the South Congress Hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Loved the bar with its great selection and lively atmosphere. The common areas are very comfortable and perfect for lounging, working, or socializing. The gym is well equipped for a hotel, with Peloton bikes and fitness mirrors (I believe from Mirror or a similar brand), which was a nice touch. The pool has a relaxed, low-key vibe that we really enjoyed. Our room had a good balance of style and function. The only downside was the very dim lighting, which wasn’t ideal on a rainy Fourth of July weekend. Still, everything else more than made up for it. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of South Congress and within walking distance of great shops and restaurants. Highly recommend.

Hotel and room itself is fine, nothing special. The problem is the shower is the worst shower I've ever experienced. The water trickles out. I had to get out of the shower and grab a glass to fill at the sink to rinse the shampoo out of my hair. It's also one of those showers that just has a half glass panel so it was freezing. I had an important meeting to get to, luckily I had given myself enough time otherwise I would have been late. The response from the front desk led me to believe it is something they hear about often (I assumed it needed maintenance, we have a rain showerhead and our pressure is fine). I did their survey after the stay too and no one reached out to follow up. I travel to Austin a lot for work and there are far better hotels, they usually book me a 3-star hotel that is far superior. I happened to come in a night early and booked this on my own dime, what a waste. If you have hair or plan to shower I wouldn't book this place, plenty of other amazing options nearby.

The SCH is well located and living off of its past. Rates are premium. product is poor. Case goods and soft goods are worn and in need of renovation. Service is OK, The coffee shop (Mañana) is a shadow of its past as well. The property's physical condition is beat up. Good location - but enjoy one of the competitors in the area until this property has been properly updated - otherwise, you will surely be disappointed.

The outdoor seating area features a thoughtfully designed play area, making it perfect for relaxed family outings and play dates. With locations across the city, including East Austin, it's known for its artisanal bread, giant pretzels, and various dining options. The scenic spot offers something for everyone with its family-friendly environment and delicious baked goods.
Food was delicious! Nice variety on their menu, and good lattes. The tomato soup was fab, so was the baguette with butter, and marinated cucumbers! Kale salad was very good. The pastrami was good, not great, maybe if it was sliced thinner it would be great. Waffle fries were delicious as well

First thing- there is a parking lot!! Every time I go to south Lamar I dread finding parking so that was a relief. We went around noon on wed and there were plenty of spots. On a lovely cool spring day like today- the outdoor porch is beautiful! For once the rain cooled down the weather instead of just making it muggy Wish we could have checked out the top deck but it was closed for an event. Our server Kristyn was friendly and attentive, and when she heard us discussing the baked goods made sure we knew there was a 50% discount for ordering from her! One of our party also had an extremely long wait for her chicken sandwich (we had to all deliberately stop eating so we weren't done before hers even arrived) but Kristyn delivered the food with an immediate notice that they were comping it for the wait- so thanks for the top notch customer service! I've been to the east location and enjoyed the drink options but sadly today was a work lunch so it was food only. I got the lunch special, 1/2 the baguette sando and tomato bisque. The soup was delicious; creamy and flavorful. The baguette was tasty, but the bread was so chewy I had trouble getting bites of it! I know baguettes are chewy but I had a bit of difficulty eating it- maybe they just aren't my thing lol. Also looked pretty small compared to the sliced bread sandwiches other people got. My friend with the chicken sandwich said it was good, but nothing special- the chicken was more of a thin cutlet instead of a nice juicy thigh like my favorite spots. One star off for the food- again not bad just not mind blowing. Despite that I'd definitely come back, especially for a happy hour; the location is great (I'd definitely pick this over the east side one) and the service was worth returning.

First off, I'll say that I enjoy their sourdough bread from HEB. I know there's a location closer to me but we happen to be in South Austin and I asked Curry when she'd like to eat at. We saw easy tiger as we were driving back to downtown as she said. Let's give it a stop. Nestled in the back behind a research clinic. Parking may be limited. Open the front doors and you're greeted with a segmented line and waiting area. Behind the glass you see various hangings of breads. The large pretzels really drew my eye. There is different types of breads scattered around the corners and this is where you can pick up or place it to go order. We were seated and noticed that there's more outside seating than there is inside. Not a problem with the weather like it is, but we chose to stay inside. We started off with the deviled eggs as an appetizer though it did come out with the meal so there was no separation or time to enjoy it separately. We would have liked to have had 10 minutes to enjoy it and be given the items as courses as opposed to One lump serving. We went with the sample platter and a side of coleslaw and we asked for a pretzel replacement instead of the bread but they served both. Pastrami brisket Pepper cheese sausage pork And turkey. I want to tell you right now it was fantastic. I actually gave it to you in the order that I liked it and here's why. Pastrami biscuit- it was so moist and it basically just fell apart but the burnt ends were so flavorful. 10 out of 10 The sausage it snapped it had a good shoe and then it melted in your mouth. 9 out of 10 The pork was a very nice moist. Not chewy at all cut. 8/10 The turkey was moist. I prefer mine a little more dry and the seasoning didn't really do too much for my experience. 6/10 We are actually stuffed and did not get a chance to get any desserts or any type of specialty drinks. I didn't think it would be a lot of food but it ended up being a lot of food. Overall the food was great. Definitely check it out. Not sure what the service would be like when it's more busy but for the most part I get it. I think there is a shift change which caused the first server to rush my food order so they could leave and ultimately had to close out with a second waitress. Oh, a bird flew in and that was fun.

Okay guys, they have been slightly renovated, under new ownership, new menu. The wait staff are among the most friendly I’ve experienced in Austin. Telling us the backstory of how they came to purchase the place. The bakery classes they offer. Brought us the fresh pastrami cooked out on the grill just for us to try. We bought a fresh loaf of sourdough and they gave us the 2 pastries we ordered with it for free. Could not recommend giving this place a try more. 15/10 highly recommend.

We recently visited this bakery-café, coffee was deliciously strong and full of flavor—exactly what we needed. We also tried their sandwiches and pastries, and everything was fresh and absolutely tasty. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff made it even better. Highly recommend for a quick bite or a relaxing coffee break!

Best staff I’ve seen in a long time! We were looking for a place to grab a quick supper and unknowingly walked in 10 minutes before close. They were very upbeat and attentive, never said anything about closing soon. It would be a dream if all service industry were this nice when someone walked in before they close! We ordered, never felt rushed and they even brought some sweet treats since it was the end of the night:) Bravo guys, pat yourself on the back!

Chinese restaurant
Bar
Chinatown Westlake is a popular eatery located in Austins Chinatown Center, offering a diverse selection of classic and innovative Chinese dishes. The menu features flavorful options such as flat rice noodles with beef, crispy fried eggrolls, and fresh spring rolls. Additionally, the restaurant offers an array of soups including Pho Chin Bo Vien and Pho Do Bien. With two locations in Austin, including Westlake, this establishment has quickly become a favorite dining option.
Use to come here regularly but stopped years ago....we would get the same waitress at lunch and she always put out the vibe that she couldn't be bother. Flash forward to last week, decided to give this place another chance. Chinatown has redeemed themselves! Service was excellent, the food was as good as I remembered it. I love their lunch menu, so many options to choose from. At first glance maybe a little pricy butvI assure you the quality and quantity of the meal is worth every penny! My friend got the Box Lunch and she had enough for lunch and some. I just got the Moo Gai Pan lunch special. It was so good. Love their Hot and Sour soup. The chicken was tender and the veggies🥦🥕🌽 had the perfect wok crisp. The hot chili oil is really spicy.. Just needs a little bit to go a long way. Service was superior! I forgot how much I enjoy this restaurant. I'm so happy I gave it another chance. Impressed all the way around!

We asked the waitress what their popular dishes are. She pointed out the menu page and said this side , and we had to guess which dishes to order. We picked Dummy Clay Pot Rice. It looked and tasted just like fried rice served in clay pot, not really cooked in the clay pot LOL.

We decided to try out this restaurant on a whim, but sadly, it didn’t meet our expectations. When we think of Chinese food, we imagine bold spices and rich flavors, but what we got was quite the opposite. The heavily battered and fried pepper steak lacked the authentic taste we were hoping for, and the chicken prepared in two styles also fell short of our flavor expectations. To emphasize our disappointment, we compared this restaurant to Panda Express, a fast-food chain. Surprisingly, even Panda Express offered more satisfying flavors than this place, which was a bit disheartening. Adding to our dissatisfaction was the pricing. We were quite surprised to see a single spring roll priced at $4, which felt like an overcharge. In conclusion, we genuinely hope the restaurant takes our feedback to heart and works on improving its culinary offerings. While we were initially excited to try something new, the lackluster flavors and pricing have left us with no desire to return. Our feedback is meant to be constructive, and we look forward to the possibility of a better dining experience in the future.

Overall, I'd rate this as "average". Everything was okay but nothing stood out. The wonton soup was the best thing out of my order. The broth was nice and salty and it included a lot of chives, with a fair amount of wontons. The wontons, themselves, had a tasty filling but were a bit thicker than I prefer. The Hot and Sour soup was a bit off. It had a nice amount of ingredients but it was a little bland. It didn't really have the classic, hot and sour taste that it looked like it was going to deliver. Lastly, the Kung Pao beef was good. It was more of a bell pepper centric kung pao than the spicy kind, with the baby corn, but the sauce was nice and the beef was tender. I might reorder from here but I would definitely double-check my other options first.

Local staple for many years and a nice mix of Chinese food and sushi. We went as a family of 5 and spent $115 for 2 appetizers and 5 entrees but no drinks. The tia pepper Basil shrimp we are good as it was 15 years ago the first time we tried it. The Mongolian Beef was a little sweet, but still good. Our only real complaint was the bones in the spicy duck Szechuan.

We happen to find this place as we were in the area for my son's football game. We loved it. There was a variety and not typical menu you would find in a regular restaurant. My son had the lamb chop and while it tasted good according to him, I felt the portion size was a little small for the price. However, their roti plant with chicken curry and dim sum was good. The sushi platter and the seafood clay pot we had was amazing too. Can't wait to try some other dishes on our next visit.

We found a piece of metal in our orange chicken!!!! Large wonton soup only had 4 wonton and tasted watered down. Noodles were mushy and the basil chicken was too salty to eat. The food is going in the trash For $80 this was a complete rip off for our family of 3 dinner

This is a pretty nice little Chinese place. The food is above average and the atmosphere is lovely. I recommend the Schezuan duck or their steamed pork and shrimp dim sum (dumplings). They have miso soup as a starter despite it not being on the menu, so just be sure to ask.

I can't even express the gratitude I feel for this place! Lillian is a stellar employee. I traveled from Amarillo to Austin. It was the worst trip and everything that could go wrong. Then my phone completely died 4 hours outside of Austin, and I couldn't get it to charge. I was extremely lost, disheveled and having a panic attack. I have Autism and I was beside myself in tears. Lillian took almost 30 minutes in between her busy days to talk me through. She used her tablet to help find my hotel, which I couldn't even remember the name in my state, write down step by step instructions, and guided me safe there. All i knew was half the hotel name and half an address. I can't express the gratitude I felt for her and Haley's cookies. I came back today to grab a coffee and cupcake because of her, which were amazing. The ladies, Victoria and Sara, that were here today were just as equally wonderful, This place is an asset to keeping Austin weird but also wondeful!!! Ty!

I was worried about the cookie cakes being dry or communication being sparse based on some reviews, but Felicia at this location was very prompt to respond and our two cookie cakes turned out amazing AND delicious! All the kids at my son’s birthday party raved about how it was the best cookie cake they’ve ever had in their life (given these are little kids, they probably haven’t had too many cookie cakes in their life time, but when I tried it myself, I instantly believed them and agreed!). The cookie cakes were moist, chewy, and delicious and not overly sweet. I wasn’t expecting much because I mean how good can a cookie cake be, but it was up there with some of the best cookies I’ve had. And the design was spot on! Well done, Haley’s Cakes and Cookies!

I ordered myself a cake for my birthday. They were so easy to find when I typed in "Vintage Heart Cakes" on google. Even better, they had pictures and pricing on their website! The website allowed me to pick colors for my cake and there was a spot for me to type in more clarifying details I wanted for my cake. After that all I had to do was choose a pickup date/time and click "order" and pay! It was so easy! The week of my birthday I decided I wanted a different color for my cake, I emailed them about 5 or 6 days before pick up and they were so quick in getting back to me on my color choices and told me it wouldn't be a problem at all. I had my husband pick up the cake for me and they gave him a cookie while he waited! The vintage heart cake was everything I had wanted AND more because they added even more detail than I anticipated on the top of the cake. I was so pleased with the cake; it's the prettiest thing ever and I held it up in so many of my photos with friends at my party. Everybody loved it and we enjoyed it later that evening with a small group (about 10-12 people). I ordered a small vintage heart strawberry cake which came with a strawberry jam filling; it was delicious and moist! 10/10 cake on ease of ordering, easy pickup, beautiful decoration, and great taste! Would love to order from them again in the future. Thank you for making a 36th birthday girl so happy!

Great deserts with great service in a cutesy place. Idk what deserts prices are supposed to be but I was good with it. I like the little station for extra cutlery, coco powder, and other options. I parked right outside but I saw there was more parking outback so I wouldn't believe there is a bad parking situation.

I went to check this place out after seeing posts about it online. The Dubai coffee wasn’t my favorite as it was too sweet for me and tasted more like a dessert than coffee. The desserts, on the other hand, were great. I had the Flight to Paris and the croissant supreme. I would definitely order both again. The croissant supreme is like a crème brûlée croissant with a custard filling and a crunchy caramelized sugar coating. I’d honestly come back just for that. The shop itself is super cute. I love the pink heart-shaped straws they use. Service was quick and easy. My friend and I noticed they also offer afternoon tea, but you have to make a reservation in advance. It’s a great spot to catch up with a friend or get some work done and the location is also close to a lot of nice spots in the area. Street parking can be a little tough to find, but I’ve never had a problem.

I’m not the type to leave a review but no this is crazy a hair in my mousse cake I’m never eating here again. First n foremost I was supposed to pick up my order this past Thursday I couldn’t go bc I was feeling unwell I tried calling them no answer. so I went the next day ( Friday ) to pick up. Mind you they don’t write on your receipt or before hand of ordering that you need to pick up that same day. ( keep in mind I told the lady I tried calling them and they didn’t answer she says they were packed with customers… it’s going to be packed on a Thursday?!? I’d believe Friday but the place was empty Friday.) I go the next day and the lady says I need to reschedule bc they don’t want to sell me 5 day old products “ what do you mean 5 day old product only 1 day has passed for it to even be considered 5 days old . so we are getting charged 64 for products that are days old this is crazy mind you I asked her so yall are selling products that are 5 days old she says yes and proceeds to say I have to reschedule for Sunday i told her my order shouldn’t be 5 days old when I pick up Sunday I want my order fresh for the price I’m paying. I pick up today & a hair this is nasty never coming back waste of money overhyped.

There was a mixup with my headcount at the time of ordering so I was in a panic when I found out the morning of that only half the cookies I needed were ready!

Kellie’s cookies are so delicious and unique tasting! You can’t find cookies that taste like hers just any where! I’m really loving her unique style and flair. I forgot how delicious they were!! I haven’t been to the shop in years and today I made my way back and as soon as I opened the door I felt like I was thrown back in time (haven’t been back in over 6 years). This really is such a lovely place and if you ever meet Kellie she’s such a wholesome person you’ll never forget her and she won’t forget you either.

The most amazing place to get your sweet treats. Whether it’s for a graduation & putting a photo of the graduate on the cookies for the party or a 60th birthday and you want to put the birthday boy or girl pic on the cookie. Whether it’s 5 specialized cookies or 500 amazing treats for your company party, this is where you need to go. Stellar customer service. Everyone knows you should buy local in the ATX but if you want amazing treats to be sent across the state, that can be done too, love coming to Kellies !!!
