I can see why, it's got good seating for the space, but it's still small. Service was good. Polite, prompt, friendly. Had good conversations with folks, they seem to want to be a cornerstone of the community. Coffee was good, they have iced coffee on tap, so that's what I had. Pretty good. Relatively affordable, too. Limited selection of baked goods and sandwiches as food.

I absolutely enjoyed Cafe Du Bliss and their menu was superb! Let's get into it!…read more As a coffee and matcha enthusiast, I was so excited to stumble across this place. Their menu, is unlike any other I have seen in the Austin area. It's unique, well crafted, and intentional. Now here's the fun part, that creativity has translated quite well into some of the most well tasting drinks in Austin. Corn Cream Matcha latte: The minute I saw this on the menu I knew I had to get it. I have seen corn matcha and lattes in California many of times, but never in Austin. A corn matcha or lattes is one of those drinks that is a challenge. You can either totally miss the corn flavor or overdo it. I think Cafe Du Bless gave me the perfect ratio and this drink was so yum. Give me 3 to go please. Earl grey matcha cloud: Their matcha cloud is so fluffy-as a cloud usually comes. But here's the thing can we please compliment it's perfect whip and the green on these matcha's! In regard to the earl grey taste itself, it was so well infused. Banana latte: Okay so as we all know banana flavors got as popular as strawberry last summer. I love a banana latte, but it's fair to say that even if a banana flavor is easily accomplished it's also hard to strike a balance, too bring consistency, and still allow the espresso to come through. Once upon a time, Disneyland released a drink called the Banoffee, it was a hit! I absolutely think Cafe Du Bliss came close to that trend with their banana latte. All of these drinks and I also must compliment their superb service. The girl who took my order was so sweet and I had questions about their drinks and she was so kind in her customer care. I will absolutely be back. They have a sweet potato latte and a black sesame latte I need to try.

This delightful cafe makes me feel as though we're really in Seoul!…read moreIt's a small interior with seating and a walk-up ordering counter (ample outdoor seating). They're an extremely busy cafe and it's not hard to figure out why. Even when there's a bit of a line, orders are received efficiently and timely. It's not a bad wait time and it's worth it knowing you're getting the most amazing treats and drinks. Service was happy, friendly, efficient, & top-notch. The menu is overwhelming but in a delicious way. Overwhelming in that I want everything on it. Always. However, I went with one of my favorite treats on the planet, taiyaki! Ok, we actually got five. One to share onsite and the rest to take home for later. We got two Nutella, two custard, and one cheese. I've had taiyaki from many, many different places and Cafe Du Bliss is in my top 3 favorites. The pastry had the right flakiness and flavor and there was no skimping on fillings. Super yum. Drinks: So many amazing matcha combo choices (& MUCH more). I opted for a strawberry slushie that was sweet and refreshing. Nothing beats fresh berries in an iced beverage. My boyfriend had the matcha & chocolate latte iced. Had a couple of sips...perfect matcha to chocolate ratio. The flavors were well balanced and tasty. Perfectly refreshing drinks (& treats) on a hot & sunny Austin day. Thank you, Cafe Du Bliss...we love you!

I'm a sucker for anything British, even if it's a gaming room. Who doesn't love a board game cafe?…read moreThey had me with the architecture. Pure Tudor elements and vibes. They've got a huge outdoor patio with a Tardis and lots of seating. Inside they've got a couple of different rooms. You enter in the coffee house/bar side that has counter and table seating. They have a wide variety of tea, coffee, cocktails, 30+ beers on tap, n/a, sodas, etc. The center of space is a shop with gaming items, plushies, books, etc. Off to the right is a very large dining area with several cove-like Tudor booths. Perfect for large gaming teams and events and rad that you're able to have a meal or snack while playing (no outdoor food or drinks allowed). This is a perfect haven for D&D peeps. The British theme runs throughout the entire space including the menu. My boyfriend and I shared a Bavarian pretzel and brisket pie. The brisket pie was incredible and made feel like I was back in the UK at a local pub having a bite. Absolutely perfect. I'm not a gamer and you don't have to be to appreciate this inclusive, welcoming environment. It's eclectic, charming, & tasty!

Such an awesome, cozy little pub + board game bar! Met my book club here, and we loved it so much…read morethat we've decided to make it our go-to monthly meetup spot. Made a reservation in advance - for a small table, it cost $35. This includes 5 hour reservation time and unlimited access to their library of board games. They've got an extensive beer + cocktail list, coffee items, and a bunch of delicious pub food items to choose from. We shared a delicious spinach artichoke dip served with hot French bread. We also enjoyed hot cocktails on a cold winter night - hot toddy's and Irish coffee. Absolutely fantastic. After gabbing about the book, we chose to play Ticket to Ride, a classic board game. Had a blast , and look forward to coming back and trying more delicious drinks, eats and games!

Cute neighborhood bookshop :)…read more Lots of community events for adults and kids. There's always something for everyone. They carry a lot of book titles and if they don't have it in store, you can order online as well. They also sell notebooks, cards, merch, and lots of knick knacks. Seating inside can be limited but there's lots of outdoor seating too. There's a parking lot across the street if the parking lot next door is full and they also have lots of neighborhood parking. Overall, great place to browse books, stationary, read, and grab a drink!

It's one of the few spots where you don't feel rushed, which makes it easy to stay for a while. Also, I think it's open 24 hours! I appreciate that they have a solid lineup of Cookies/pastries and snacks to go with your drink. It's not overly fancy, just reliable in the best way. Great spot for some people watching, I saw some great outfits.. and believe there's a vintage shop next door if you feel the need to spruce up to fit in hahaha. Overall, a great go-to Austin staple for a reason. Great for getting work done or just hanging out, any time of day or night.

We'll definitely be back to check out their brunch.

Love this spot. The menu is always delicious and this location has a very calm ambiance and decor,…read morewith lots of comfort foods to choose from. Today we both wanted the biscuits with gravy and so we asked for just that! The service is as usual very prompt and courteous and our 2 plates came out fast and hot. We had each ordered the scrambled eggs soft- (so juicy) and they sadly were not as expected. The gravy was just barely enough to not even cover the biscuits- and it was very tasty, so we asked for more, and were billed for an additional side of gravy. Again the side of gravy that was provided and billed for, was very small. So there's room for improvement there. We enjoyed our meal but definitely would have enjoyed it more if more gravy had been used! Oh I forgot to mention that one of us ordered the stack of pancakes foster as an add on and they were good. Idk if the pancakes arrived hot, but by the time we got to try them they were very lukewarm. But the flavor was good. Overall, today it was average to good food: room for improvement! Enjoy!

Stopped in cause of the reviews. Monday morning around 10:30 am. Seemed like a cool, chill spot. A…read moregood amount of people sitting around doing work. Took about 10-15 minutes just for the smoothie to come out. Seemed like a slow day that even the gentleman we were waiting next to made a comment as he noticed we'd been sitting their for a while and didn't get anything yet. My gf had the breakfast burrito but said it was a bit bland so she went home and ate it with her pickled jalepenos. Also small in size for the price $7.99 Spinach quich has a nice crust and good flavor. Thick with just the right amount of bite. $5.49 The Super Verde smoothie was okay. Don't really taste much pineapple, but it has a nice consistency from the avocado and banana. $9.99 for large.

Especially for north of downtown…read more That said, I am giving it an emphatic 5 stars because I feel that some of the lower reviews on here are simply inaccurate or unjust. The food is divine and the consistency is impressive. The bar staff is extremely competent and can make a variety of amazing classic cocktails or their own. The servers go out of their way to be helpful, learn your name, get you seated, etc... Also, the baked goods are wildly delicious. 5/5 highly recommended.

I was in the area for work and looking for a relatively local place. Another Broken Egg is a chain,…read moreyes, but only in the sense that they have other locations in Texas. This trait is both an upside to the local vibe and quality, but a detriment that it is so far from where I live. Because I would definitely be a regular. There were lots of folks waiting on this Saturday morning as I had time to kill before flying home, after visiting the area for work. But, the host station handled everything well, quickly acknowledged people coming in, communicated clearly, and added folks to a text-based notification system. I opted to wait for the bar area and it proved to be faster. The bar staff were phenomenal, friendly, energetic and perfectly attentive. It's a modern cafe in a "strip mall" shopping area in a sense, but still, worth visiting. For the food, I had the coffee. OMG great Colombian coffee, so good. I drank it black - it needed no help. Adding cream or sugar would be an insult. And it was served in a beautiful stoneware mug. I ended up buying one as a souvenir ($23 at the time of this post). I also had the lobster brie omelette. I wasn't 100% on it by the name, but wow - it was amazing. The lobster was just right, it blended with the brie very well, and the eggs and other additions made a beautiful omelette ensemble that hit the spot.

Another Broken Egg Café has the kind of menu that wants you to believe you're about to have a…read morepolished, indulgent brunch -- the sort of thing Austin does extremely well when a kitchen actually commits to balance and intention. On this visit, the ideas were there, but the execution felt like it took the morning off. The Lobster & Brie Omelette sounded like it was aiming for a little coastal glamour, the kind of dish that should feel light, silky, and just a touch celebratory. Instead, the Brie came in like it had something to prove. It sat on top in a thick, molten sheet that never melted into the eggs -- it just smothered them. Pair that with cream cheese inside, and the whole thing leaned dense and sticky on the palate. The lobster was tender, but it didn't stand a chance under all that dairy. In Austin, where chefs know how to let a star ingredient breathe, this felt more like "we had Brie, so we used Brie" than any real culinary intention. The gumbo missed the mark in a different way. The first spoonful tasted thin, like the roux never fully committed. It didn't have that slow‑built depth or warmth that makes gumbo feel like it's been tended to. The seafood didn't bring much character because the base wasn't there to support it. Honestly, the focaccia on the side had more personality than the gumbo itself -- and that's not the hierarchy you want. Service was warm and the space pleasant, but the food felt like ambition without follow‑through. In a city where brunch is practically a competitive sport and where balance, technique, and restraint are the norm -- these dishes needed more refinement and a clearer sense of flavor priorities. With a little more intention, they could be far more compelling than they were on this visit. Tell me this, Yelp fam... what is your fav brunch spot? Write a review about it if you have one.

The ambiance does look upscale, so are their prices. They have a great outdoor space and beautifully decorate indoor space. They're trying a lot of things - coffee shop with a bakery, dining restaurant, beer hall with craft beers. It does definitely get filled up in the mornings. My order: Bavarian latte Sour cream Kolaches Everything bagel with scallion cream cheese Bavarian latte though seasonal was nice and flavorful. Kolaches which was a savory and the everything bagel was something I loved with the cream cheese. Must-try! The order came around $20.

We arrived and they have a great patio, had live music and there were quite a few people there. We elected to go inside since we had been out all day and we ordered beers, some deserts, and I ordered an 'Ol Fashioned. Oddly enough, great chocolate and a fantastic 'Ol Fashioned go well together. However, the brownie was really dry - seemed to a a few days old, and the drink was just OK. They indicated it would be made with a mix so that probably my bad. My friend had a couple of beers and another dessert but his feedback was the same. I would have liked to stay longer and come back on another night to see if my first visit was an anomaly. I would think they normally have better drinks and food than we had on our first visit!
