A great neighborhood gem of a brunch spot. Really enjoyed our meal here. Got a nice table on the patio. Service was great and staff was friendly. Wish I lived nearby because this would be in my regular rotation.

This is the place I’ve been searching for—breakfast actually worth getting out of the house for. It’s not your typical take on breakfast, and that’s exactly what makes it so special. I recommend getting there early, because the waitlist fills up fast. The last time I went, the wait was two hours, but luckily the bar had an open seat for a single. And honestly, the flavor is the reason the wait exists. It’s absolutely worth it. The crew is incredible. The entire time I was there, they moved in unison, sending out dish after dish with perfect presentation. They worked harder than some construction crews I’ve seen recently—completely in sync and never missing a beat. They were just as impressive as the food. Now I understand why this spot is a true Austin, TX staple. The OG Texas Hash is my top recommendation—a beautiful blend of sweet potatoes, roasted pork, kale, and a perfectly poached egg. It was incredible.

Went there for breakfast. Head up - waited for ~ 1.5 hours to be sewted. We got the the lox plate as a shareable, which was very fresh and tasty. Also got the chicken and biscuits—super flavorful but very heavy and filling, so pace yourself. The steak and eggs were okay (I’ve definitely had better steaks). The pancakes were really fluffy, not too sweet, and the blueberries were just the right amount

Absolutely amazing food with a lovely atmosphere and staff. The poblano & cheddar biscuits are addictive, especially with the jalapeño jam. I am also pretty sure the Earl Grey Cold Brew has ruined my life since I do not live here and have not found anything comparable to it in my area. Very friendly staff, and the dishes are beautiful and delicious. Cheddar hashbrown was also delicious.

Super cute spot! The staff is cool and friendly. The food was really interesting and tasty. Loved the patio seating. We got the classic breakfast, which was solid. Good portion. Also the empanada and guava poptart. Both crazy good. The pop tart is sweet like a dessert but the tart guava filling is a nice balance. The empanada super tasty and savory. Excellent filling. Can’t wait to come here again and try more menu items!
