This is our favorite neighborhood café. We visit this specific location regularly and order delivery often. Our favorites are the lumberjack wrap, the chimichurri steak wrap, and the grilled chicken sandwich. Service is always quick and easy, and (sadly) they are never too busy. I'm not vegetarian or allergic to gluten, but if you are they have lots of options. I feel like this place is incredibly underrated! A few things that would make them 6 stars: better coffee options (we often bring in our own coffee) and music in the background (why is it always so quiet?). read more

Love the mid century modern decor! Can't wait to try this breakfast. The service is quick and the quality is great!

I'll give them 5 for our first visit for breakfast after leaving A few places with a 45 min. Wait! You have to get in line and order, get a number and get your drinks on the way to your table. The scrambled eggs and bacon were very good that my husband ordered. Not huge like some places but enough! I ordered a couple of pancakes that were delicious! I thought a full 3 would be too many but they aren't big ones. The sausage patties were good too. Nothing was all greasy like some places. Not huge portions to split but just right for one. I peak at others food and I'm anxious to go back again. read more

We've been going to the Galaxy in South Austin for years now. It is a delightful lunch or dinner spot, that we've enjoyed several times over the years. Recently, we've experienced some not poor quality to-go orders from their establishment. However, with willingness to try again, we went for a late brunch this past Sunday in the early afternoon. We ordered the galaxy breakfast bowl and a build your own breakfast wrap. The breakfast bowl was a perfect harmony of flavors and textures. The lack beans and crispy bacon paired wonderfully with the tender potatoes and fresh spinach. The sunny-side-up eggs added a rich, creamy touch, while the avocado offers a smooth, buttery finish. The bowl was a satisfying, well-balanced dish that's both hearty and healthy. I got the wrap on a spinach tortilla with cheddar cheese, breakfast sausage, scrambled eggs, potatoes, spinach, tomatoes, and green bell peppers. They have the most delicious spinach tortilla, it is by far my favorite that I've had at a restaurant. The breakfast sausage added a hearty touch to the wrap mixing well with the cheese and veggies. The only negative I have about the wrap was that their was an odd amount of liquid escaping from the tortilla as it was consumed, I am assuming it was from the runny-ness of the eggs. Other than that, it was a delicious and filling breakfast that was beyond enjoyable. read more

Fish wrap, macaroni and cheese and Pinot Grigio were all delicious. Counter service was unexpected. Room is very loud. There was not a crowd and yet my lunch date and I could not hear each other talk. Service was great. Place is clean. Nice menu selection. I may try delivery. My friend and I will eat somewhere else next time. read more

To the guy at the front register with the beanie hat on who said your order will be right up but had me wait 10 minutes with an....oh, here's your order right here. Thanks for the cold food! Good thing I asked again! read more

My wife, son & I decided to stop by for a casual dinner last evening. We ordered the Grilled Skirt Steak with salad for dinner Within 6 minutes from ordering our salads were brought to our table. In less than 10 minutes our steaks were brought to the table prepared exactly to our liking! The Chimichurri sauce accompanying our steaks was Awesome! The entire experience, food, service, cleanliness & friendliness was nothing fancy...just GOOD! It has been a long time since we actually enjoyed a pleasant dining experience that offered quality food prepared well & served with a genuine smile! Thank you...we'll be back! J.N.

Went in on Saturday. Friendly staff great service even after being seated. I ordered the traditional bkfst. It came with bacon, sausage, potatoes, ciabatta bread and eggs. The sad part was besides the eggs and toast everything tasted like it had been cooked earlier and was luke warm. I've eaten here before but this was my first time I experienced this. read more

I love this place. Food has remained high quality for a decade. My only complaint is the prices keep creeping up. Decadent coffee and the herbal tea is a wonderful mix of cinnamon and sweetness that I crave! Some tried and true favorites: chicken salad sandwich on ciabatta has grapes, nuts and red onion - yum! Whipped sweet potatoes or sweet potato fries will not disappoint! Blue cheese burger is yum - I get that on ciabatta too. Breakfast is M - F 7AM - 11:30AM & weekends: 7AM - 4PM. When I'm starving I love the "Big breakfast" which comes with Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage patties, skillet potatoes with onions and bell peppers. Also a long time breakfast favorite is the make your own wrap with eggs, sausage, cheddar and mushrooms. Delish! read more

I visited galaxy cafe on 1/7/2023 and tried their black french press coffee. The coffee was not as strong as I usually like my black coffee. It was a bit more on the lighter side for my french press preference. One thing that I enjoyed was that they served it in a mini french press as shown in my picture. I thought that was a cute touch! The cafe had a clean and inviting atmosphere. The service was also efficient due to them having you place your order before you sit down and eat. It's the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee and catch up with an old friend. Galaxy cafe is a good spot for someone who is comfortable eating alone, with friends, or with family. read more

This place is classy and just has a great atmosphere. Sometimes they have live music, but I've never truly figured out which days. This place has great food. Gluten free options. Tea from the Steeping Room. A selection of wine. They also have cookies for dessert, not sure if they have any other options though. I come for the GF Brie and Turkey Sandwich. read more

One of the baristas at my favorite coffee shop suggested that we try out galaxy cafe. With limited option on favor that offered a greasy burger AND a lighter option, we decided on galaxy cafe and their free favor delivery. My expectations were not high. My boyfriend got a custom burger and he enjoyed it. I got the turkey and Brie sandwich. I always compare any turkey and Brie sandwich to the delicious Ferris brieler sandwich at Lyndsey's deli in Boulder, CO. This sandwich was very close to that deliciousness and I was amazed! I will definitely be back! Any food that makes me happy dance is worth a second visit! My only concern is that the prices are high for sandwiches. I would think this one is less than $10 but it was closer to $12. read more

Just moved to the neighborhood and stumbled upon this quirky cafe. I am doing Whole 30 and was surprised that they had Whole 30 options! The food was very tasty and the coffee was delicious and only $1.99! They told me the coffee was from Texas Coffee Roasters ... don't you just local restaurants? read more

Hit this place up for a healthy breakfast on a Sunday morning. The place was pretty empty but filled up the longer we were there. It is a very casual atmosphere and mix between service and self serve. I ordered a bowl and it was pretty good. It definitely wasn't anything special, but it served its purpose. I wish they had fresh tortillas and that the black beans were cooked a little more. It was overall lacking seasoning. If you are looking for a quick breakfast spot with healthy choices, this is a great place to try out. read more

Really liked their migas with refried beans and fresh avocado! I wish they used house made flour tortillas though! I also thought over $2 for avocado was prettyyy pricey for a few slices... But it's a no frills, healthy cafe and overall a great little spot with super friendly service :) read more

I love the spicy chicken sandwich and the bowls are a solid option on those days you want to keep it sorta healthy (or you tell yourself that). The reason I give it four stars is that while what they do carry they execute well, their menu just seems soo limited. I feel like there's a chance for a little more creativity and flexibility. It's not a complaint, just wishful thinking. PS. They've been awesome during the pandemic and their curbside game is efficient and fast. read more

I would call this a great option if you're looking for something lighter and healthier. Came here for lunch and they have great options for salad bowls. Big portions and everything was fresh! Located in a shopping plaza at corner of Slaughter and Brodie. Ample parking spots. Order at counter and they bring it out to you. read more

Got the turkey brie sandwich. Had to ditch the bread cold and hard as a rock, maybe a dimes worth of condiment sauce, wilted lettuce, mealy maters. YUCK, turkey luke warm. They usually miss something on the order. I go here because it's close. wish they cared more. I cant imagine anyone enjoying eating inside. It's so uncomfortable with bad design and decor. looks like a skating rink cafe. I want to like it, as it's one of the only close restaurants in the area. They replaced a decent restaurant, but then a lot of things replaced decent things in the area. read more

Galaxy always serves delicious food that is nicely presented. They even have a separate gluten free menu so its easy to have yummy dishes. You won't go away hungry. One friend had the giant Brie & turkey sandwich (took 1/2 home), another had the Brie burger and I had the fish wrap. We sat in a booth. You order eat the counter and the bring the food to you. What's nice is they clear away the dishes which is a nice touch. read more

Got the "build your own" burger w fries and ice tea. I did not choose any upcharge extras. Burger and fries OK but totally generic. Burger was quite small for a meal that cost $20 + tip. Next time Mighty Fine for a far superior value read more

The Salmon Salad was exceptional w/ added Avo!!! Thank you!!! Always wonderful!! Will try everything on the menu!!! read more

Always a good spot for a quick healthy bite. Hamburgers are excellent and can't beat the breakfast. Can't tell energy conscious because the lights are dim, would be okay to brighten it up a notch! read more

The staff here is lovely. It is a great place to meet friends or work on a laptop. The breakfast was good as well as the French press coffee. I was a disappointed they didn't have espresso based drinks (lattes and such). My kids loved their pancakes, I enjoyed my breakfast sandwich, and my husband really liked the migas. One thing that was strange was that we went on a cold January morning and the inside was freezing! Not sure why. read more

Food takes forever to get out and might as well have traveled the galaxy. Do better and get the food out

Really disappointing. We ordered via Favor. My fiancé had the grilled chicken sandwich which was fine, but the slab of mozzarella on it was completely unmelted which was kind of odd. Like it definitely had never been melted. The kicker was my bowl of tortilla soup. It was so small. There were like three small chunks of chicken. They gave tortilla strips and cheese on the side. It was the tiniest pinch of cheese ever. You could barely see it. I thought I was ordering a meal but it was not enough food to fill up a typical human adult. It's also literally just tortilla soup, so I don't understand being so stringy with the portions. Probably not ordering from here again. Sweet potato fries were just completely unsalted. So weird. read more

I've only gotten take out from here via a third party delivery company and everything we've gotten has been delicious. The Zocalo bowl is delicious and healthy, as is the Asian-inspired bowl that has salmon. My 10 month old devoured the spaghetti and meatballs. I already know that this will be part of our rotation of places to grab take out when I'm not in the mood to cook. read more

I was at the Sunset Valley Farmer's Market, ordered a big breakfast for our family through Chownow on Google, and it was ready by the time I pulled up to the Brodie location. I really appreciate amazing customer service and this place had it. I loved that an actual person responded to the text when I checked in from my curbside spot. The person who brought our food out was helpful and didn't take long. The food itself was good. We got a little bit of everything. We all enjoyed it -- not bursting with flavor, but the portion sizes are great. We found we all needed to add salsa or salt, but nothing tasted bad. Again, for the service alone (and convenience of ordering through Chownow), I'd return. read more

This place never disappoints! Always great food and service!! I ordered the spring Bowl and was great! read more

Cookies should make you happy, and this made me sad. I picked up my to-go order, ate my lunch and went for my delicious reward afterward. This is what I found. The saddest peanut butter chocolate chip cookie ever. I try to eat these cookies in such a way that I get one chip per bite. With this tiny sad constellation of chocolate chips, it was impossible to do so. To add insult to injury, the cookie had been carelessly placed in the bag chips down. It had not fallen that way. It was placed. So half of each sad chip was stuck to the top of the wrapper and not even on the cookie. I was not above licking the wrapper to obtain this chocolate, but mostly it made me more sad. read more

This place used to be great, but like many restaurants these days the quality has gone way downhill. There is a gluten free menu but yesterday I ordered their GF pasta and I have been suffering for almost 24 hours now. I wouldn't trust this place if you're celiac and would be wary if you have gluten intolerance. It's not worth it at all. read more

The food here is ALWAYS on point. The service has never disappointed us either. Staff here is very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. My family eats here roughly 4X a week. read more

Went in 50 mins before closing My son wanted a muffin We clearly pointed to the one we wanted; not only did the girl come back with the wrong muffin she was holding it in her bare hands! Gross- and after touching the register. When I paid she was upset I didn't tip on a $3 to go muffin, and when I said uh you had your bare hands all over it she went back for a second and came back with the same muffin after we clearly said we didn't want that one. Since baskin robins was closed 2 hrs early with no notice I thought why not try galaxy? If they are that careless about food date Ft with a muffin- imagine your food. Absolutely appalled and will never come back. Be warned. read more

Everything I've ever ordered here is amazing. Great, high quality ingredients. The bowls are my favorite. You won't be disappointed!!

This was my first time dining here. It was quiet and had a really cool atmosphere. The staff were all so kind and extremely helpful with the menu. I ordered the roasted veggie Buddha bowl with chicken and it exceeded my expectations. It was delicious and I had a lot left over to take home with me for a separate meal. I usually hesitate on Brussel sprouts, but they were cooked well. The dining room was spacious and not a lot of customers dining in. All staff were wearing masks and were strict about refills and using a new cup each time. I can't wait to come back! read more

This is always a go-to of mine. It's delicious, high-quality food from a place that offers ethical and organic options as often as possible. They also have some damn good coffee. Seriously. It's organic French press and there's something so special about it that's hard to place! Just so good. Breakfast options are great - Mediterranean breakfast and Denver scramble are delightful. Their whipped sweet potatoes on the lunch and dinner menu are to die for! Turkey burger is one of the best in town by far. Never left here disappointed- ever! read more

My wife and I have eaten at Galaxy regularly for over 10 years now at various locations (this is an update from my Triangle review). First, just us with occasional friends, some with children. Then us with our own baby from newborn to now. For a couple years, we pretty much ate there weekly. They are friendly and welcoming of children. As with many restaurants, you have to find what you like. We've been disappointed by various breakfast offerings, so we try to stick with lunch or dinner there. We've been happy with various wraps, fish, steak, club (the fish wraps are our current favorite), and burgers. Four things merit special mention: * Burgers are great: especially the rolls which are critical to a good burger experience. One of our children is always comparing other burgers to Galaxy and telling us that others aren't as good and asking us to get the secret ingredient to Galaxy's great burgers. It's nice too that his children's meal burger can be ordered how he likes it (with lettuce, tomato, mayo) without additional upcharges. * the mac-and-cheese side is some of the best either of us has had, and the best hands-down from a restaurant. Occasionally, it's not up-to-par. But we get it a lot and it's most often top-notch. We have now spoiled our children with this: they will not eat M&C at any other restaurant. * the galaxy ice coffee is excellent. It's hard to get this kind of ice coffee in town -- a Thai/Vietnamese ice coffee is the closest thing. Coffee shops don't seem to have ice coffee of this type. * 2020 Thanksgiving/Christmas turkey by-the-lb to go. Fantastic. We hope this is a regular thing. It was just our immediate family for this 2020 Thanksgiving, so we looked around for turkey options, without roasting a whole one. We tried Galaxy's turkey take-away by-the-lb option (from Brodie location). Wow. Awesome! Just perfectly done, moist, and flavorful. We had such a good Thanksgiving meal that we did it again at Christmas. Again, with Galaxy turkey. And double-wow, it was even better. We don't know if this was just a special 2020 option given the epidemic situation (maybe you've even offered this in years past)... but we hope not :-) . We hope to have Galaxy turkey again Thanksgiving 2021!! The to-go M&C was great both times as well. read more
