    Turkey & Bacon Panini
    Evelyn S.

    First wanted to give a shoutout to Ken, the owner for reaching out about my previous order! Stopped by Mary's Cafe another time and ordered a Turkey & Bacon Panini and Mary Street waffle. Turkey & Bacon Panini ($10.99, 4.5/5) - The focaccia bread was delicious! The overall taste of the panini was also very satisfying. A tad on the saltier end, but all the ingredients work together nicely! Mary Street Waffle ($7.99, 5/5) - Waffle was great as always - crispy on the outside and warm & fluffy on the inside. The first time I ordered the waffle, it didn't have all the ingredients but second time's the charm. The strawberries were fresh and provided a good, tart balance to the overall sweetness of the dish. Looking forward to visiting again for the good food and customer service!

    Cute place be very, very nice. A good of gf accommodations including gf breakfast bowls. Fresh avocado , tomato and spinach in the Red River Bowl. It can with 2 huge omelet type egg patty's which was too much for me to eat. Didn't love eating with plastic utensils but feel great that it was a healthier meal. Good coffee drinks. I had a matcha latte and not more money for oat milk!!!

    Came on a Wednesday afternoon, and they weren't too busy. More people for take-out. Service was quick, and the workers are super kind! They have some bar seating to look out the window, but otherwise not the largest place. Very homey! Turkey & Bacon Panini (7.5/10) - Delicious! Their bread is soooo good. Super crunch, warm, and not too heavy. Definitely hits the spot - Although this item is slightly on the more expensive side ($10.99) and doesn't have any chips/fries or sides (a small slice of watermelon), overall a good quick, light bite Mary Street Waffles (10/10) - Cinnamon waffles, so soft, yet still retained its crunch on the outside - $8!!!! This is super reasonable for such a delicious waffle! - Will definitely come back for this, definitely recommend to others

    Cute little spot!

    Oh my gosh can you say YUM! This little hole in the wall place was a random pick after going to the urgent care next door and boy am I glad I stopped by. I got the BAT bagel sandwich and my goodness that thing was SO GOOD. I had to pull over in a random parking lot on my way home so I could demolish half the bagel lol. It was so yummy! I got the build your own waffle as well with chocolate chips and it was delish as well! I already want to go back and get more hehe. I would say the price for the waffle was a little high considering the size, but the taste is so good I would buy more. Service was extremely quick and the guys were super nice. Can't wait to go back

    The Italian Panini Absolutely delicious

    If you have never been to Mary's Café off of Red River near Saint David's, you need to run not walk!! Their food is absolutely delicious. Made fresh to order and with lots of love.

    Food: The eggs were slightly overcooked, but they still had great flavor. The chai latte was delicious, and the waffle was decent. Service: There wasn't much service interaction but they were very nice at the cashier's. Ambiance: It can get a bit too loud inside for a relaxed conversation, but chatting is still manageable. It's a nice spot for a date outside of rush hours, though it may not be ideal for groups larger than four. The decor is stylish and adds to the vibe. Price: Reasonable and fair for the quality offered.

    Mary's Cafe is a hidden gem in Austin that totally won us over! From the moment we walked in, we loved the fun, quirky 50s vibe. Lots of bright colors, retro decor, and a super welcoming atmosphere. There is a fun gallery wall with famous people and characters named Mary. We ordered a gluten-free bacon, egg & cheese breakfast sandwich, a berry waffle, an iced coffee, and a chai latte. Everything was delicious! The sandwich was hearty and satisfying, the waffle was bursting with fresh berry flavor, and both drinks were spot on especially the chai, which had just the right amount of spice. Service was fast, the prices were very reasonable, and the whole experience was just easy and enjoyable

    SUCH a yummy bagel! Great vibes, love the wall art, good & quick service. Great place to go whether you're looking to sit down for a while or just grab and go before class (the proximity to UT campus is a plus!).

    Lox Bagel Sandwich on everything bagel
    Stephanie V.

    Love there bagel sandwiches they're so delicious are always filling. But this time I wanted to try their broccoli and cheddar soup. Didn't like it was different from what I'm use to is was kind of grainy. If you like this kind of soup you might like it but I'm use to broccoli and cheddar with a smooth base with chunks of broccoli and carrot.

    A great little place to stop in for an early lunch! We came in to this cute little place looking for late breakfast/early lunch and it hit the spot. Quick service, we were able to get a table amid the cozy little place, and food was great. The matcha latte wasn't too sweet (pretty mild). The sandwiches were very good - I got the honey mustard chicken wrap and my bf got the turkey bacon panini. Both were so good and we'd like to come back to try one of their waffles Friendly people at the counter, and loved the art! Will be back

    Highlights!

    Great cozy hipster kind of breakfast place in Austin. People lined up on a Sunday to get their favorite food and drink. Staff did a great job getting customers in and out quickly. Great food!

    Back again over 10 years later. I ordered the spring deal of the dill tuna salad sandwich on toasted focaccia bread. My mom had the chicken salad sandwich on toasted wheat bread. They were both delicious and tasted freshly made. I'm glad we were able to make it back.

    We went early so there was plenty of parking, but it's very limited and restaurant isn't that big either..

    As an avid Yelp reviewer, I am also an avid Yelp user. If I am in an area looking for the best XYZ,…read moreI put faith in my peers reviews as I would hope they would put faith in mine. While exploring the many museums across the University of Texas campus, a quick caffeine break was needed for my girlfriend and we were overwhelmed by the number of options on The Drag. It makes sense that there are plenty of places to choose from because of the large number of UT students. Everyone needs a little coffee in their lives. One of the highest reviewed ones with a large pool of ratings was Lucky Lab Coffee and after checking a few quick reviews, we decided to give it a chance. Lucky Lab has five locations in Austin (four on campus) and one location in Dripping Springs. The one we were at off The Drag was their flagship. This location serves a little bit of everything from sandwiches to pastries, salad to quiche, and of course, coffee. As we walked inside the flagship, it is easy to notice how tight the space is. There is very little seating inside at their bar, but they make up for it with plenty of shaded outdoor space that is perfect for a nice day. Scanning their menu, we landed on some drinks from their winter menu. I was intrigued by their Pomegranate Rosemary Latte while my girlfriend tried their Ginger Spice Mocha. We got them both iced. First, it is interesting to see the fusion of pomegranate and rosemary in a latte. I was intrigued by those flavors. Their drink sizes are 12 oz, 16 oz, and 20 oz, each adding an additional 50 cents to each upgrade. All milk alternatives cost 1 dollar. It was only a short wait to get our coffees and the cup with the little lab on it was cute. I think specialty drinks have an opportunity to be amazing and one of a kind or the worst drink imaginable. This pomegranate rosemary latte did not fall into either category exactly, but leaned more toward the latter. I love pomegranates and I always appreciate how earthy rosemary can be in a coffee. One of my favorite lattes I have ever had has rosemary in it. This was just not working for me. I shamefully did not finish my coffee. As for my girlfriend, she did not like her ginger spice mocha. I could not imagine gingerbread syrup not working in a mocha, but after trying it myself it was not for me either. It seems like a perfect match, but here the gingerbread is competing with the chocolate and instead of complementing each other they clash. She told me that the flavors were "un-mocha like". She drank less than half of her coffee before tossing it as well. Neither of us wanted to dislike Lucky Lab. They seem well established and I felt like they were trustworthy based on reviews, but I wonder what these previous reviewers were tweaking on or what magical concoction of coffee granted from heaven above they were sipping on because we were distraught by how disappointing these drinks were. I would like to give Lucky Lab Coffee Co the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe the specialty drinks were not up to par with their traditional beverages. However, the almost 30 different syrup options on their wall make me feel they lack a little focus and try too hard to stand out. They lose what makes a coffee good, which is coffee. I want to say I will give them a second shot in the future to see if it was just an off day or a bad beverage pick. Too many shots turns a Lucky Lab into Old Yeller. The lab needs to be put on a leash before I think about returning. RIYL: options

We've been wanting to check out this shop for quite sometime and finally had the chance. From the minute we walked in the door the vibe was on! Our barista, Litsa was incredible! She was fun and bouncy and had so much positive energy. She even helped me create a concoction of sorts. Like most, lavender is my go-to. But, I also wanted toasted marshmallow and so I was torn. She suggested a combo of the two for my cappuccino (with oat milk of course). Wow! It was spectacular. I was so beyond miserable when I walked in the door (the rain) and she turned things around for me within 30 seconds of interacting. Her positivity and kindness were through the roof! My cappuccino concoction...so good I think it should be a menu feature! The banana guard iced latte my boyfriend got was equally as delicious. It was like an ice cream treat for grown-ups. Everything about the shop is so welcoming. Warm lighting, comfortable seating, and spacious. So much for the eye to take in as they have offerings from local artists and craftspeople for sale. A mini store if you will. All lined neatly on wall hanging shelves. They've got candles, pottery, jewelry, clothing, etc. All the goodies you'd expect to find at a gift and craft, artisan shop. Fitting since the drinks they put out are liquid art. Since it's about a ten-minute walk from home, it'll definitely be a new stop when going to the pet store. Wonderful experience on a dreary day.

This place is full vegan and tip free (as is included in the price) I got a dirty chai latte with oat milk. It tasted very natural, like the oatmeal was handmade or something. Very natural and creamy. The inside was very colorful, decorated, with many shops from artists in the Austin area. There was plenty of seating. The only thing is that it is very pricy and I didn't get an itemized receipt in the text, so I'm not sure exactly how much the drinks, tax, and tip were. I liked this place, and would come back in the future!

Radio Rosewood wants to keep the party going all day and late into the night, offering food outside of "goes with coffee" and a beautifully appointed bar. Having said this, I just needed coffee, so my review is going to focus on that. The featured coffees here are roasted by their own RCB Roasters, and my selection was their Ethiopian Guji, promising some nice acidity and brightness from its lighter leaning roast profile. The coffee "space" is compact here, but they're using good gear and seem to have the staff to use it well. My espresso was served with sparking water, and was just as I'd hoped, a bright cup with citrus acidity that was well structured, but not overly acidic or bitter at all. It was a winner all around. I'll have to get back in for an adult beverage on my next visit, but I was pleased to see that us coffee lovers can still get a good "fix" here!
