My coworkers and I were looking for a spot to grab breakfast by our hotel, and we found that 1886…read moreCafe & Bakery was a block or so away. 1886 Cafe & Bakery was a blast from the past with its Victorian-style interior. The front part of the establishment catered to the to-go crowd, so we went to the back of the restaurant that was more of a sit-down bistro. Service was great. We had a friendly, attentive server, and our food came out in a timely manner. I ordered the Breakfast Bun, which was a breakfast sandwich with a steamed egg, cheese, and sesame bun. Loved every bite of my sandwich. The steamed egg was thick and fluffy, and it was oozing with melted cheese. Can't wait to try other items off the menu!

Very attentive! And on a Saturday around Noon you can walk right in and be seated with no wait. I love the Eggs Benedict, but the salads, chicken & waffles, or burger all good options I've tried to. I went again today and had the traditional breakfast with the crispiest bacon and home fries seasoned just right with a big of hatch green chile, and poached eggs and sourdough toast. OMG that toast was definitely freshly made. The room is classic old hotel style and overall in pretty good shape. From the flowers in the the tables to the old fashion coffee bar with pastry case full of fresh croissant and rolls and other delicious options. Even the juices are outstanding and unique, including guava juice.

The last time I came it was late afternoon and they were out of most of their pastries, so I made sure to come back at 9 AM this time and they had a full display. Their croissants looked beautiful and I had a hard time deciding but ended up going with the Cassis Blueberry Honey Croissant ($8). I ran into an issue with my digital payment but the lady was really patient with me which I appreciated. The croissant is a beautiful blue color and really nicely decorated. It was delicious with a rich blueberry jam. The jam was a bit much for me to eat in one sitting but the croissant itself was not dense and I loved it.

The vanilla pastry was good but I've had something similar before for cheaper. Croissant was out of this world!

On the pricier end but honestly splitting the croissant is the way to go.

The first time it was the day after a snow storm and nothing else was really open. We were staying at another hotel down the street and decided to walk around town and this is one of the few places that were open so it was a great chance to come in and try out their food. Our waitress was amazing and very hospitable. It was a cool diner setup that's also connected to a hotel so it made sense where this was probably their only place for food but we were very thankful that they were open. I got that duck confit and waffle. It ended up being very delicious. And it sounds amazing too. And of course the waffle is in the shape of Texas. I also ordered coffee and our waitresses amazing about refilling it every time we're running low. Definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for great dining experience here in Austin. This place was so good we came back again the following year we were in town.

We didn't know what to expect based on the reviews but were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food and fast service! Over the course of our hotel stay, we had the opportunity to try a variety of breakfast items off of the menu, and everything was solid. I absolutely loved the spicy avocado toast (to which I added scrambled eggs on top) and the breakfast burrito! All the ingredients on the avocado toast worked together perfectly from the pickled red onions to the garlic chili oil, and the spicy chorizo + crispy potatoes in the breakfast burrito was to die for. My husband enjoyed his dishes as well -- breakfast sando and chia seed pudding.

Whether you're looking to get some work done, meet a friend, or simply people-watch, this spot checks all the boxes. The atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming, and even when it gets busy, there seems to be plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating available. I stopped in on a Thursday morning and enjoyed the chilaquiles, a latte, and one of the most beautiful raspberry scones I've seen in a while. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully prepared. The menu also deserves a shoutout for seamlessly transitioning from breakfast to lunch and even happy hour offerings later in the day. One of the highlights was how easy it was to settle in and work. The WiFi was fast and reliable, and I was able to comfortably spend about three hours there without feeling rushed. What truly stood out, though, was the customer service. Every interaction was warm, friendly, and genuine. The staff created such a welcoming environment that it genuinely elevated the entire experience. Between the great food, fast WiFi, comfortable seating, and outstanding hospitality, Jo's Coffee was the perfect way to spend a Thursday morning.

As someone who doesn't typically eat chicken salad, I was unaware it could contain tree nuts. I took one bite, felt an unexpected crunch, and then felt my throat start to swell. My girlfriend asked a worker if she knew if the chicken salad contained nuts and she frantically exclaimed "oh no! I don't know!" before asking the kitchen. She then came back and said "it has pecans! Is that bad?" And I said "yes. Kinda bad" Luckily because I only had one bite and then proceeded to chew on a few Benadryl I ended up being okay and my throat and lungs were all back to normal in an hour or so, even if I had to spend my day in bed high on said Benadryl. If I had eaten any more of the sandwich though, I very easily could have ended up in the ER. All that to say - the menu does not make any mention of pecans being in the chicken salad, either in-store or online. Which is strange because tree nuts are disclosed in some of the other menu items. This feels like a bit of an oversight, no? Fellow nut allergy-havers: do you avoid chicken salad altogether? Am I ignorant for not knowing the risk of ordering chicken salad? I don't know but this did ruin a whole day for me and very easily could've cost me $2000 and a trip to the ER if I really enjoyed the taste of the sandwich. (Luckily I did not.) Sorry to leave a shady diva review for a time-honored Austin institution - the worker we spoke to seemed very apologetic and reasonably frightened. But you you've really gotta add that *contains tree nuts or your customers are gonna end up intubated. Not very cool! Feel free to send me money or whatever. Please don't send me a gift card.

The breakfast taco was absolutely delicious and they were made fresh right in front of you!! I was seriously impressed with these. This is one the best breakfast tacos I've had around town.

The food here was alright, wasn't worth the price point. I ordered the chicken biscuit sandwich, and initially it was great, but there was a major problem with it so they remade it for me.

There is plenty seating inside and outside. Inside is bright and gives great brunch/lunch vibes.
