Disappointing experience. Mediocre food, okay cocktails, and overpriced. You also have to order and pay at the counter before you sit down. Better off finding a spot with more than just aesthetics. Save your money and go somewhere else.

I have work meetings every Monday near this place and love to stop by for lunch when I’m done.I highly highly recommend getting the BEANS & GREENS dish!! THIS IS CURRENTLY MY FAVORITE DISH IN AUSTIN AND HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS.They have a great ambiance and share space with a brewery. It’s a good place to go if you’re someone who can work remotely. The outdoor area could use some umbrellas and SOME of the staff seem a bit exasperated, not all.The coffee selection is good and the chocolate chip cookie is a must have!! It has Maldon salt crystals which give it a nice touch.My friend had the turkey burger and salad with radish which were both yummy!

Expensive coffee and staff that are rude and play it off as being in a rush. I was told I couldn't use my laptop while sitting at the booth indoors while it was pouring rain, the place was empty at 2pm on a weekday but I was told I must move to the bar to use my computer. Okay, ill just sit on my phone instead... I get it... but how about if it's empty we just ignore that rule. Hipsters turned into cops real quick, 2024 problems.

this place is in a cool spot and the food was not disappointing. the granola bowl was fire - the mint in jt really hits. grabbed queso and chips just for fun and it was perfectly done. recommend this for a lazy, lounge breakfast spot with coffeehouse vibes.

This is very much a farm to table restaurant. Everything was good. We got the churro crueller, the breakfast sandwich and the regular breakfast. The crueller was ok but not a true crueller, it was a combination of a bunch of styles without doing any of them completely. Plus it had a lemon flavoring which is just a sign that something is being hidden. The breakfast sandwich was again ok just coming up short. Nothing really stood out it was a bunch of stuff in between a sourdough English muffin. The plate was simple and the best part was the berry jam.

Poor service. High prices. I'm shocked actually. My chai latte was in the smallest coffee cup I've ever seen. When asked about the volume of the drink, the 26 year old hipster who made it argued that it was a regular sized latte. 4 oz of tea. 2 inches of foam. Then he and his buddies laughed noticably at me for questioning it. Avoid.

Updating my review from a 5 to a 4. Came back here two more times and the food just wasn’t as good. They are capable of 5 star food but i guess it depends who is working.Original review:Loved the food, service, and vibes here!Came on a Sunday for breakfast and it was the same day as a marathon so it was really busy. There’s so much seating outside though that made me think this place is equipped to move that quickly and I was right.There are some reviews saying their food took 90 minutes. I think we waited maybe 15-20 minutes. We got two breakfast sandwiches, one with beyond meat and one with avocado and both were amazing. The avocado one is a lot lighter and fresher. The cauliflower tots are a MUST.We ended with a chocolate chip cookie. It’s a damn good cookie. High quality chocolate chips, flavourful dough, and salted.I’ll definitely be back for breakfast and to try their dinner items.Vegetarian options: Beyond meat substitutes

Hour wait for a salad after there was no mention of that- they casually told me that there was a built in hour wait and a three hour wait for people sitting outside for food.

Food was delicious and beer was good. But the music was way too loud, I don't want to feel like I'm at a club. We sat outside because of the music and it was still very loud. It was the only negative takeaway. I would definitely go back for the food!

Such a neat place to hang out and have drinks. Lovely atmosphere and shared grounds with Hold Out Brewing. Nice on a day with sun, but they also have enclosed tents to escape the cold in the winter. Great food and drink options, all of which are tasty and very reasonably priced. Always lively. Free parking available. Palo Duro cocktail is ?!
