Over priced, $5 for a plain green tea and it took a long time to fill a cup with hot water and place a tea bag.

Holy cow I can’t believe it took me so long to come here but I will be back every week (if I could)! We had a really late lunch and the place was BUSYYYYY but were seated in less than 10 minutes. The place seems small at A glance but has bar seating and outside patio seating. My friend got the cold brew martini and I got the cucumber mint limeade ! Highly recommend! For food we got the lox plate and Texas hash! Everything tasted fresh, hot, flavorful ! And thennnnnn they give you a little rice Krispy treat with your check! They have a gluten free muffin I’m going to come back for !

Paperboy is a gem in Austin's breakfast scene. It's a cozy spot where the food speaks for itself—creative yet comforting dishes that start your day right. The vibe is friendly and laid-back, making every visit feel like a morning well spent. Definitely a favorite.

Nut allergy friendly - several dishes do have nuts but the staff are very careful.An extremely popular local brunch place, we reserved for six a month ahead of time and were able to luckily get indoor seating at 2:30.The current rotating beer menu is a Pilsner and Hazy IPA from Meanwhile Brewing Co.We ordered:Chicken and Biscuit (4.5/5): We ordered three servings of this. Two came with two pieces of chicken, and one piece came with three. We commented on this and got three pieces, which I'd consider worth it for the price. The chicken was well flavored and the dish worked together as a whole. Not sure if I'd prefer it over a classic chicken and waffles, but it was a unique twist.Lox . Order this if you're on a diet. Four pieces of bread with hummus/feta, some vegetables, and barely any lox. It's tasty and very healthy, but I was expecting much more lox for the price.Steak and Eggs: 1.5/5. Flank steak that is so tough that it got lodged in our friend's throat, it really shouldn't be the price that it is.Classic The only thing besides the chicken and biscuit I'd recommend for a real meal. Everything is decent here.Cheddar Hash . Big, not bad, but pricey for what it is. Ours was a bit soggy like it was unevenly baked.The saving grace is that service is incredible here. We got a lavender latte at the table instead of a matcha one by accident and got to keep it (+1 for anti-waste). The manager was incredibly kind in coming to resolve a bug on the inKind app (turns out having a large party does some weird things with the mandatory gratuity).There are two gender neutral bathrooms that actually had a substantial wait when we were there (like, six people in line).Overall, it's a nice trendy brunch spot that I'd recommend for certain dishes. They were sold out of pastries when we went, but I heard those are good!

Great place for Brunch with the girls!When you order the drip coffee it comes in a beautiful blue mug. You can also purchase the mug in the store merch for 45$ which is crazy haha. They only have the drip coffee in decaf, the other options are only with coffin.The Ricotta Toast was a great sweet breakfast! Would recommend!

Food was delicious - guava danish & the tomato, basil, and cheese danish were definite highlights. Earl grey cold brew was also great!The service was great & the food came out very fast. Plus with nice weather the rooftop/patio seating is super nice.

This place was so good I want to kiss the paperboy on the mouthIn all seriousness, we really loved the guava pastry and tomato & basil pastry. I enjoyed an earl gray cold brew and the Migas (pictured). The patio was lovely!!
