When you think of a neighborhood place, this is it. It’s tucked away in the Rosedale community. Parking is sparse but once you overcome that, you walk into a Paris-like atmosphere. Quaint, quiet, small, bright, chic. I really love the vibe. The drinks were great. I got a coffee rum drink that was surprisingly clear (!!) and a vieux carre. They cost $18 each which is high. The food is also delicious but it’s pricey. The only complaint I have is that the biscuits came out very dark. While it was edible, I would’ve preferred if the waitstaff didn’t serve it and got another batch. We ate the entire plate of biscuits but the outside was slightly too crunchy. The pastry case is beautiful. It was definitely fun to go with my girlfriends ; I’ll have to try it with the family but maybe it’s too nice for little kids. I highly recommend this place for an intimate lunch or dinner!

The place was loud during lunch. Plus, it’s price gouging business; how do you justify $21 French onion soup? Not worth come back.

épicerie has the BEST croissant in Austin. It is not even close. It’s insanely flaky, buttery, and honestly tastes like something straight out of Paris. Every bite just melts. I could eat one every single weekend without getting tired of it.
I’ll absolutely be back. Epicure, keep doing what you’re doing.

Came here on a whim and noticed that they had a nearly $20 egg sandwich. I was worried this would be another example of an overpriced menu item, but I was wrong. This was the best egg sandwich I had in my life. The sandwich was made up of scrambled eggs, a flaky croissant, cheese and sausage patty. The textures and flavors were wonderfully balanced. I'm so glad I split the sandwich with a friend who was also wowed by the simple sandwich. Everything else about the meal was great too. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the po'boy and beignets were executed well.

Service is bad here. The workers seem to avoid eye contact with you while you are trying to order at the bakery. Not the warmest staff. But the pastry’s are good. We were waiting for a table but decided to leave due to the experience at the carry out counter. I would think they would rush to put your order in quickly so you can get out of the way since it is such a small space. Instead, they make you wait.
We were also clearly waiting to order and the staff went ahead and attended other people that were behind us.

We visited Epicerie for lunch today and unfortunately had a really disappointing experience. We came in hoping for a peaceful meal, and I have food allergies, so we made a clear order for a well-done burger patty with specific cheeses and a fully cooked egg. Instead, we got a tiny sausage patty that we never ordered, the egg was runny, and none of the cheeses were correct. Even after asking them to fix it, it still wasn’t right, and we ended up being charged extra for these incorrect items (x2 $10 mini sausage patties...!).
While the staff were nice, it felt like there was a real disconnect in the kitchen or management. We both left feeling unwell and really let down. Sadly, we won’t be recommending Epicerie to anyone anymore, and we won’t be returning ourselves. It was just a waste of money and a frustrating experience.

Lucky me, I got the last ham and cheese croissant for my birthday breakfast...well that and a few of their fantastic chocolate chunk cookies. Exceeded our expectations and made our morning 😁

Bits and pieces of shrimp on $18 Po boy was not worth the price. Unfortunately there were a few flies around—one of which landed on my glass. Pastrami was just okay—Good looking sandwich but lacking in flavor. Like the atmosphere. Iffy return.
The pastries are to die for, the brownie inside a croissant was my absolute favorite. Quiche was fluffy and cheesy with just enough crust to support the flavors. The place is little busy so it gets crowded but it’s worth the wait.

The people were really nice, personable and friendly. The food was amazing. The pastries were delicious. Enjoyed the house coffee. The breakfast sandwich was delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone who would go to visit Austin, Texas.

I had a cup of coffee and an almond croissant. Both were good, but the place was a bit too loud. Staff was okay — nothing special but polite enough.

I got the shrimp po boy. I thought it tasted good and it was one the items that I think is worth the price given the portion size. My friends also got the pear and blue cheese pastry and the pastrami sandwich. The pear pastry was really good and the pastrami sandwich was a good size as well. $28 for a quiche is kind of much for the portion.
