When I brought it home the top of the cup where they put in the Cinnabon rolls worse smashed and it was not recognizable.

Move over Fresa's!! There's a new chick in town!…read more Not only are the ingredients fresh, you can taste the quality! We were shopping in Bee Cave and got hungry, so I went to Yelp to discover this cute little place. I did learn that they are mainly a "take away" model hence the play on words "picnic" on their name. But there are a few tables and bar counter that you can dine in. We ordered a bit of food- 1. Half roasted chicken 2. Hot wings 3. Roasted Beets 4. Kale side salad 5. Fun selection of NE brand beers! Yes they have wine and unique beer selection there! The roasted chicken was definitely brined- it was super juicy and the chimichurri and salsa complimented it wonderfully. It was explained to me the chicken were free range and how they are raised humanely, reminded me of an episode in a tv series- Portlandia that made me chuckle. The hot wings... Buffalo style but not like at Anchor Bar.. still amazing in its own right. Fresh (I mean there were zero dry spots on carrots and celery and it was crunchy fresh that even me, the non-celery lover- ate 4 sticks with their tasty homemade ranch sauce. (I think it was the ranch dressing bc I literally licked the bowl clean) The roasted beets were served cold with feta cheese crumbles, mint and pistachios. I could eat that by itself as a meal! Yummy! Now, I usually hate kale. Only like it roasted. But I can eat Chicknic's Kale side salad all day long. It contains roasted cauliflower, pickled red onion and a mountain of pumpkin and sunflower seeds! (Maybe that's why I like it so much??) All washed down with a brown ale beer you find in the NE. While we were dining, several people came by to pick up their to go orders and there is a fun freezer where they sell delicious take aways like chicken soup and their famous chicken pot pie, chicken crepes, chicken enchiladas... oh did I mention this is a great place if you're on a keto diet or gluten free restriction?!?? I also found if you follow their Facebook page, you can see new menu items or transparency of how they run their business. What you waiting for? Give this place a try and support local!

You basically told me that you don't care that I wish you would answer your phone. However, using the excuse that you only have two people in the kitchen while you and another person sit at a table and ignore the phone ringing sealed that fact that you do not care about your customers. As always, the chicken had good flavor, but I cannot keep ignoring the dryness any longer. And with your lackadaisical attitude toward your customers, I am done. Not a single soul in the place, no to go orders waiting on the to go rack. Just sit there and ignore the phone.

I also want to comment that it was bare nobody was in this place at all I was the only one in there besides maybe a senior citizen. I'm sure it's supposedly quiet. For the more I don't want to come here bread when they have a lot to offer but when they have a little to offer it seems their cutting back on several items that I used to like. It's nice and very decorative inside and it's always kept cool. So I would recommend this location which is clearly better than most of the Panama breads all throughout Austin. It seemed to take care of the place which is nice. I always come back for it more of the desserts!

Second time brewed tea tastes like coffee. since this new manager decided to not brew the remaining several boxes of Mango Tea, I thought at least the Tea I didn't want would taste like iced tea. Second time "a slice of red onion" on the bagel was only a couple pieces that barely showed through the cream cheese. Second bagel not toasted as ordered. Is this so very hard or just a perfect example of the Peter Principle? Will drive further to William cannon. Still can't get mango tea, but at least the bagels are prepared as ordered. How about promoting the new shift lead to manager as soon as he is ready. Gonna miss this location, but less each time we go in and are sadly disappointed! read more

Typical Einsteins. They seem to have worked all the quirks out from when they first opened. This was my 6th visit since this location has opened. After 2 incorrect orders (right when they first opened)... All 4 subsequent orders have been totally correct. The two girls behind the counter were both quite nice, greeting me as soon as I walked in. And "thanks, have a nice day!" as I left. Super fresh, delicious Turkey Bacon Avocado sandwich on a Nacho bagel. So good! :) I'm glad they put this location in because it's near my work! :) hooray! read more

Their food is not that bad and I would go more often however their ordering system is horrible. One person takes your order then another person takes your payment and repeats your order for the 2nd time. It takes 20 min to get 2 bagels toasted with cream cheese. Like I said the food is not bad and does deserve more stars but I can't return due to the lack of systems and wait times. read more

This may officially be the best kids restaurant/coffee/bar spot in all of Austin. I'm talking playground, swing, climbing gym, massive green yard, and plenty of shaded tables. To top it all off, there is an additional bar right along side. It's brand new, so they are still working out the kinks/trying to expand. A few things to call out. 1. They only have the one kitchen, so it can get pretty backed up. 2. No additional bathrooms, but they are working with the city to allow it. 3. Parking can get tight, curious how they will try and tackle this.
