    The food was phenomenal! The waffle was very fresh tasting and the perfect portion. The cafe itself was beautifully decorated and visually appealing. The staff was very kind and accommodating. Highly recommend!!

    Traditional Eggs Benedict*

    There's a mandatory 20% tips, and there's an option to tip more. :) 5/5 for the chocolate pecan croissant. It melts in your mouth. It's perfectly sweetened and no flavor is overpowering. 4/5 for the quiche and 2/5 for the salad that comes with it. The salad is ridiculously sour, we normally love salad but couldn't finish this because of how sour it was. 4/5 for the egg Benedict. It does the job, but nothing outstanding

    Today, I was downtown Austin at 9 am to await my first Austin Matcha Half Marathon (walking marathon that is). Well I did not read the fine print and upon my arrival, I realized the group did not leave until 10:45 am on the walking marathon. Thus, I had an entire hour to kill. Off I went to the Driskill Hotel to their 1886 Cafe & Bakery for a pastry to line my stomach before the walk. I have heard friends and colleagues rave about their pastries. So I strolled down Congress Avenue to 1886 Cafe and Bakery. The 1886 Cafe & Bakery is located in the historic Driskill Hotel and as of 2025 is 139 years. The Driskill hotel opened in December 1886, hence the name of the cafe and bakery. The Driskill is the oldest operating hotel in Austin. When you walk in, you are instantly captivated by the juxtaposition of the old and new. The old...beautiful cut class, ceiling tiles, wall paper and fine China. The new...modern kitchen with a viewing galley and coffee machine. Crista, my server, recommended the chocolate pecan croissant or the apple tart. I went with croissant. OMG...this literally the best chocolate pecan croissant I have ever eaten. I highly recommend this pastry. After leisurely eating my croissant, i headed back to the walk starting point.

    Went there two mornings in a row and first time was much better. Not sure if the server or kitchen made the difference. We had the cinnamon bun each day and yesterday it was hot and gooey and today the server brought it cold and we sent it back. She must have zapped it for three seconds. Ehhh. Still enjoyable and love the ambience. Bit pricey and they don't come with toast or potatoes. But we ordered the potatoes which are good.

    Breakfast at the Driskill Hotel (1886 Cafe) was a very enjoyable experience overall. We ordered the Driskill Eggs, which are a classic breakfast with eggs, potatoes, and bacon. The eggs were cooked perfectly over easy, and the bacon portion was very generous -- honestly more than I could eat - but it tasted great. The potatoes were a bit overcooked in my opinion, which slightly took away from the dish. For drinks, the matcha was good but not perfect, while the Driskill latte was full of flavor and very well done for a cold drink. The real standout was the Hummingbird cake - absolutely amazing. It's not overly sweet and very well balanced. I'm not sure every traditional cake lover will immediately gravitate toward it, but I personally loved the flavor. It reminded me of a European-style cake, almost like something you'd find on a trip from Rio to France, and it's the kind of cake you don't see very often in the U.S. Overall, a great downtown breakfast spot with strong flavors and a historic setting, with just a few minor areas for improvement.

    What a beautiful cafe! Honestly, it's breathtaking but onto what matters, coffee and pastries! I got a hot latte and a croissant. The croissant was given to me cold as ice which I politely asked if they could warm it up. Thankfully they did. The difference that made was night and day. The croissant became flakey and appetizing. It was shocking to serve something so cold without even giving an option to warm it up. The latte was good. It did not need sugar and was hot. Good taste. We enjoyed the cafe and lounged for a bit. Would recommend if looking for a quick break.

    My friends and I stopped by at this bakery while we were exploring Austin during my bestie's bachelorette trip. It is such a cute place to stop by and sit and hang out. It is attached to this amazingly beautiful hotel and has all the beautiful vibes of it. We got a classic croissant which was buttery, flaky, and had a little sweetness on top which we loved. A little extra salt would have been nice, but otherwise the texture and flavor was amazing. Such a fun little stop!

    I really wanted to like 1886 Café & Bakery, especially given its historic location inside the Driskill Hotel--but overall, it didn't live up to the hype. Let's start with logistics: parking is a headache. We had to find expensive street parking two blocks away, and unfortunately, the café does not validate for nearby garages. I tried calling ahead to ask about parking, but the listed phone number goes straight to a voicemail that reads off a completely different number than what's online. I double-checked the website and tried again, but got the same result. Confusing and a bit sketchy, honestly. Once inside, we were seated immediately, and I'll give them credit for a clean, comfortable atmosphere. The staff was friendly, but service was very slow, and we had to flag down our server multiple times just to get basics like sugar, utensils, and an extra cup of coffee. The menu is pretty limited and heavily overpriced--most breakfast items are $20+, and lattes run about $6-$7. I ordered the breakfast bun (steamed egg, cheese, and bacon), which was decent but forgettable. My friend got the Texas waffle, which surprisingly came without any fruit, even though all the online photos show it topped with berries (fruit is now an extra charge). It also seems like the menu has changed recently, because we couldn't find updated pictures or descriptions online. All in all, the food was mediocre, the experience was pretentious, and the price tag just isn't justified. You're definitely paying for the Driskill name, not the quality. Sadly, I won't be back, and I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to try it.

    Fantastic coffee and great breakfast options. The breakfast bun plus fried chicken was absolutely delicious. 10/10 recommend.

    A really cool brunch spot that's at a historical location! The food itself is good but you're really coming here for the classic elegant hotel brunch vibes. I got the eggs Benedict, which was a little on the salty side, but the eggs were cooked perfectly. You are paying for the experience more so than for the food, but service is super friendly and inviting.

    This was a lovely cafe bakery located inside the Driskell hotel. Without a reservation our wait for breakfast was only 20 minutes which was great. The wait staff were attentive and efficient. It was a little annoying that they were out of every juice but orange juice at the time but it happens. The food was delicious overall. Only opportunity was with the eggs. I'm a fan of regular scrambled, not fluffy scrambled eggs. The absolute highlight of this meal was the chocolate pecan croissant. I almost stopped at the bakery for another o e before heading home. I recommend this place for sure.

    Afternoon tea
    Kim D.

    Did the afternoon tea here with my 11 year old niece and we both absolutely loved it! The service is 100/10!! Table was prepped upon arrival, and starters were already on the table. Then they brought out the 3 tiered tray (so important!!) with all the goodies! My niece loved the sprinkler dipped PB&J and j loved the inclusive unlimited Prosecco! I would come again 100 times over.

    Texas Pecan Waffle

    I had two charming and delicious experiences at 1886 Cafe and Bakery during my recent visit to Austin. First, my friends and I visited for lunch. We could not get over how delicious our food and drinks were. Not only were they a feast for the eyes, the taste and texture combinations were perfection. We all agreed the Texas waffle was the best waffle we had ever had. The 1886 chocolate cake was Absolutely To Die For. For lunch we placed an order at the counter and were given a number, the food was brought to our table. We were instructed to give a few minutes then return to the counter to pick up our cocktails. We returned later in the week for Afternoon Tea. Again, a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. Three sets of tiered stands were brought out, one at a time, each served with a different tea. There was a printed menu listing all the teas and the treats thereupon, and our server explained everything and answered questions as well. A lovely experience, you do need to make a reservation. Built in 1886, the Driskill is stunning in appearance and a beautiful setting for both these visits. There is a tour, which we missed because it was at the same time as our tea reservation. However, a gentleman at the front desk was kind enough to give us a tour and we so appreciated learning the rich history and some of the stories of this hotel.

    Is there a private room? Can a reservation be made?

    I called Monday 10/23 and was told no reservations not call ahead list

    What's the average wait time to be seated for large groups between 5-10 people for Saturday brunch?

    So you actually don't seat yourself until you have ordered. There are ample seats inside and on the patio plus more in the foyer. Good luck and enjoy.

So we thought we would make a whole night of it. Tiffany did make reservations for us for 7pm and even though this is a bar hopping neighborhood, even at 7pm it was pretty busy. Streets were full of people. Anthem had a vibe. I felt the energy as soon as I waked in. The cozy booths with the U shaped seating with plush green velvet fabric. Wait staff wore Hawaiian shirts.

We had a reservation and the host sat us down immediately and was so friendly. Our server was there right away. Her service was just perfect ... friendly and not over the top.

We made the decision to leave before a full meal because the menu wasn't as vegetarian and gluten free friendly as we'd thought it might be. Danny was our waiter and he was very understanding! He gave us several great drink recommendations. We all very much enjoyed our cocktails and mocktail with a side appetizer of squash. We appreciated the discount on valet parking if you eat at Nido and get your ticket validated. I'm sure I'll be back here on a sunny day and book far enough in advance to sit outside.

The view at Nido is breathtaking, the lay out is nice and the seating is comfortable, even with children. The apps and drinks are 10/10. The mains are where we encountered problems. I ordered a petite filet and I have attached the picture below. They served me a New York strip ( obviously) and tried to pass it off as a filet. I have never had a filet come cut like this and you can tell by the meat this was a strip not a fillet. They said all of their filets come pre sliced like this. So that must mean they are passing off New York strips as a filet. Which is not only unethical but so disappointing. Don't have a filet on the menu if you're going to do this. Most people probably can't tell the difference but we could, easily. Managers were nice, but would not own that this was not the right cut of meat and insisted it was in fact a filet. Yall be the judge by the photo below. The "mushrooms" on the plate were also charred to an unrecognizable point. The only other steak we ordered at medium well was served medium rare. We also ordered biscuits that never came but we were not charged for them. I will say they did comp my steak and my husbands and gave me some dessert on the house, which we sincerely appreciated. Don't come here for dinner. Drinks and apps for the view and that's it!

The first thing that stood out was the beautiful ambiance. The restaurant offers both stunning indoor and outdoor seating, making it perfect for any occasion. Since we planned to bring our dog, we called ahead to confirm outdoor seating availability. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and promptly guided to the outdoor patio. Before we even had a chance to ask, the staff brought a bowl of water for our dog, which was such a thoughtful gesture. Another touch that made the evening special was that the staff acknowledged our son's birthday upon arrival and presented him with a birthday card signed by team members. It was a simple but incredibly sweet gesture that made him feel celebrated. For drinks, my husband ordered the Swedish Fish Punch, while I enjoyed the Family Business German Pilsner. For appetizers, we shared the Burrata and a salad that is no longer on the menu. The salad featured cashew butter and was absolutely delicious. Both appetizers were beautifully prepared, flavorful, and generously portioned for the three of us. For the main course, we decided to share two dishes. I wanted to try a vegetarian option, and our server was extremely helpful, offering several menu items that could be modified. I chose the Mafaldine pasta, and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. It was rich, flavorful, and unlike any pasta dish I've had before. Every bite was outstanding. My son ordered the salmon, which was equally delicious and perfectly cooked. Both dishes were satisfying and filling. Since we wanted to save room for dessert, sharing the entrees turned out to be the perfect decision. We ordered the Pistachio Crème Brûlée and Sticky Toffee Pudding, and the restaurant also surprised our son with a complimentary birthday cake complete with a candle. All three desserts were exceptional and a perfect ending to the meal. Eberly is definitely a high-end dining destination and an excellent choice for special occasions, celebrations, or gatherings with family and friends. The indoor and outdoor spaces are beautiful and spacious, the service is attentive and thoughtful, and every dish felt carefully crafted with unique flavors and attention to detail. What impressed me most was that every aspect of the experience--from the hospitality to the food and special touches--felt intentional and genuine. We left feeling celebrated, well-fed, and already looking forward to our next visit.

    Always fresh and delicious! We came in at 2pm and were served about 15 minutes later! The fruit…read morewas fresh and ripe! The turkey avocado sandwich (my husband enjoyed it) and the hot chicken sandwich was so good ( a little spicy but very well seasoned! My 9 yr old daughter had the chicken fingers kids meal (not pictured). She enjoyed it but the portions for the kids meal are a bit small so keep that in mind. All in all, we will definitely be back to try new items!

    Pro tip: Check for daily happy hour times! Sunday HH is between 5 & 7!! On a Sunday!! A fun…read moresurprise. Dish Society is a solid spot to gather with a group at any time throughout the week. With a point system to accrue benefits over time, and at each visit, and impressive happy hour specials for both food and drinks, it's hard not to visit more than once. Every member of service either greeted us, or supported our needs with a smile. Calvin, especially, made sure every step of our experience from walking in through ordering was special. While we didn't indulge in the beverages, we enjoyed the $10 burger special which also came with fries! We paired this with a side of a $6 Caesar Salad (really tasty and thrown together with thinly sliced cabbage, roasted chickpeas, and popcorn chicken). Next time, I'd really love to try the truffle mac and cheese (which was also on HH). We weren't aware of the upcharge for swapping out the slice of American for Cheddar (+$1.50), which would've been nice to know ahead of time, since we both got burgers and wondered about the swap...but lesson learned. Also, BIG lesson learned...the parking validation is for only two hours! We were having such a lovely time at Dish Society, but exceeded the 2 hrs (by an extra hour) and got charged a significant amount for parking. Next time, we will certainly park on the street. We tried reasoning with the parking attendant and they wanted no business in understanding we were patrons of the restaurant. It was certainly an unexpected shock, and didn't leave the best final touch of our evening (specifically in that parking garage). It's unfortunate that we got penalized for enjoying our time at dinner.
