There are limited vegan options.The staff was friendly and knowledgeable.Make at least a soup/salad combo that's vegan that would be much better.

Excellent spot for breakfast or Brunch. It’s a small restaurant so the wait times might be long on the weekend.

I was single dadding on Saturday of Easter weekend. We had just finished up an Easter Egg hunt with my son’s classmate’s family with 3 kids. We decided to swing by Counter Cafe for a traditional diner breakfast menu. I’ll fully concede that our kids were bursting at the seams, making a lot of noise, spilling water, etc. A couple tables quickly wrapped up their meal and left. What I found strange was that our waiter really didn’t stay on top of our table to get us processed and out the door. Maybe they wanted to get other customers to turn over. Either way, we were waiting quite a bit to get our orders in, for coffee, and for drink refills. That said, I enjoyed their Counter Burger, and my son loved his chocolate chip pancake (the other kids got jealous) and eggs.

Coffee not hot, fries not hot, server was aloof, but still food was decent. Woman next to me had plastic in her food, right after they gave her my bill. Next table over got the wrong food.

Exceptional brunch here on a random Saturday. The salsa verde was flawlessly spicy, just enough of a slow build burn to enjoy and enhance every new bite. The hand made sausage patties were ?. Friendly staff and strong coffee, and good prices.

The food was good. The eggs Benedict had a good flavor just the sauce tasted a little to tangy, other than that the pancakes were great and the potatoes were nice and crisp
Be careful ?️?️ They charge you the tip on their own. They don't even ask you and the tables are very stacked together, you literally have breakfast with strangersVegetarian options: Very slow service

We travel from Minnesota to Austin often and our kids insist we come here every time. Great food and service. I don’t understand the negative reviews but there is a certain subset of people that will complain about everything.

I haven't received my breakfast order yet and I already want to leave. Server got my coffee order wrong and she has a terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE attitude. I'm staying just avoid any food waste

Avoid at all costs. Worst service and people here. Really shocked at how they treated people and their quality of service. There’s so many better businesses to support!
