I met a friend here for breakfast this week. It was my first time trying Ovenbird. I immediately found parking in their free lot out front, which is always nice. Gotta love easy parking! I arrived earlier than my friend, so I ordered a latte at the bar and then chose a table to sit at. There are a bunch of tables inside, so it was easy to find one. There were several people working remotely, and the Wi-Fi password (ovenbirdatx!) was displayed in several places. When my friend arrived, we quickly ordered from our table using the QR code there. We both ended up ordering the breakfast sandwich with sausage and pesto. The latte was good, but a little bit bitter. I still finished all of it, though. The breakfast sandwich was tasty and came out quick. It actually was somewhat bigger than I thought it would be! All in all, a decent place to meet a friend for breakfast or to do some remote work.

Breakfast Salad

Quick visit to Austin and this was our breakfast choice and a good one. The food is abundant and home made. The lemon meringue French toast is rich and true to its namesake but enough for three. The duckfat-fried potatoes were crisp, unctuous and with a few flakes of salt, delicious. Pastries had just the right amount of sweetness. A real treat.

WEEKEND ONLY Petite Bacon Quiche
Hannah W.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to try such a great place that's practically in my own backyard! The coffee was bold and the perfect sweetness. I got a pfeffernüsse cappuccino since they're one of my favorite cookies, and I was not disappointed. It tasted like the iced-ginger cookie had been liquidied into my cup. The only thing was it was a latte rather than a cappuccino. My friend got the raspberry cheesecake blini's and I got the bacon jam tart. Both menu item's were fabulous and hit the brunch spot! It does get a little crowded, but there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. You also might have to travel down the lot for parking since a lot of the spaces are reserved for other businesses, but it's definitely worth it!

Exterior - The image shows the exterior of Ovenbird, a cafe or restaurant with a modern design. The building has large glass windows that reflect the surrounding trees and sky. The lower part of the facade is made of stone, and the entrance door is visible. Bicycles are parked outside near a bike rack, and there is some greenery and a tree branch in the foreground. The overall setting appears to be in a suburban or commercial area.

My husband and I decided to go to breakfast at Ovenbird while in the area. We parked, walked in, looked around and chose to sit outside. The Restaurant is bright and big with lots of seating inside and outside. We sat down at a table and there was a little sign with a QR Code that said to scan with your phone and place your order. We looked at the menu and ordered. It was quick and easy. We grabbed some cold water that was set up on a stand where you could get your own. After getting water we sat and waited for our food. After about 10-15 minutes we got our food that was brought out to our table by a kind woman. The Food My husband ordered Hoppel Poppel which is a bowl that has steak, peppers, onions, potatoes, dressing, an egg, and green onion. I tried it and it was good. The steak pieces were a good size. The egg was good. It was sunny side up which is my favorite. The potatoes were thick and soft on the inside while crispy on the outside. The peppers and onions added flavor. I ordered the Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich which has fried chicken, apple slaw, and dijonnaise on a braided bun. It came with a side of Potato Salad. I ordered a side of Bacon with my meal. The Chicken Sandwich was yummy. The chicken itself was tender. The apple slaw in the sandwich added texture and flavor. The Braided bun was soft. It was a really good sandwich. The Potato Salad was different from what I am used to as it was made with Fingerling potatoes but they were really good. I liked that the potatos were a good size and very flavorful. The Bacon was really good. It wasn't crispy, it was thick and soft. It was a savory side. You can definitely tell that all of the food is fresh. Overall it was a pleasant experience. The atmosphere was nice inside and outside, the service was good, and the food was delicious. An extra note we went to eat breakfast at 8:45 AM on a Saturday morning and it wasn't crowded but it may be packed at other times.

WEEKEND ONLY Latke Nest
Dylan O.

The latke nest tastes solid, but is tiny. Not worth the price. Same thing with the little pfaffernoose cookies, 2 dollars for a cookie the size of a walnut? Never again. The drip coffee was honestly just not good. Their service style is also "seat yourself and order online", so the wait staff just drops the food at your table. Not necessarily a problem but when you have questions you have to like wave down whoever you can find. Once I got ahold of a waitress she was very nice but that doesn't redeem the place. I would not come back here.

Medovic latte
Pree R.

A spacious place to grab breakfast on the weekend south of downtown! They have such intriguing seasonal latte flavors, breakfast sandwiches, tacos, pastries, and more! For Saturday breakfast, I had the Medovic Latte which was sweetened with burnt honey and salted caramel flavors. I was also able to customize a breakfast sandwich with an egg prepared over easy, layered with beer cheese, and all sandwiched between a flaky, salted, crispy layered biscuit. The latte was incredibly sweet, so I was only able to tolerate it through mid-cup. I would definitely come back to try other options!

Matcha
Linh T.

This is the CUTEST place to study or have a coffee date! The inside is spacious and there's an outside patio area to sit at too. Inside, there's outlets literally everywhere so I was able to find a spot to sit and do work at. Outside, there's umbrellas to keep you in the shade and it's great. I didn't get anything to eat, so I'll come back to update on that. I got an iced matcha latte and it was yummy! The workers were kind and service was good :)

Latte
Luna D.

I've been here on both weekends and weekdays. Weekends are great because they offer more brunch options, and the outdoor seating is nice if the weather is favorable. However, on weekdays, the menu is quite limited, mostly consisting of pastries and sweets, which are pricey $$ . You order at the counter using a QR code, and they bring the food to your table--that's pretty much the extent of the service. Overall, I find this place more expensive compared to others, and there are many great brunch spots in Austin that are much more affordable.

Smoked salmon on house made rye English muffin, pea purée and radishes. I added 2 eggs on the side for extra protein.

Great service, delicious food and warm ambiance. It's a little pricey, but the quality of food is excellent.

Mimosa

Good breakfast. The breakfast sandwich is simple but delicious. The smoked salmon muffin is perfectly made. No complain. The price is very steep for the portion.

French toast and my latte
Vanessa G.

I went here for my birthday to enjoy a nice breakfast and delicious coffee! Everything tasted perfect and fresh. I went back for seconds for another latte. They can do just about anything for latte if you have special requests. The service was great. Everyone that I interacted with was friendly. The ambience of the restaurant is very laid-back. I saw a lot of people with their laptops doing homework or focusing on work such a nice and pleasant place to get breakfast and coffee. I would definitely come back again.

Kristen E.

Best cold brew in Austin, hands down. I come here every week for my cold brew fix, it's super strong and just the right natural sweet coffee profile. Pastries are amazing too. Friendly staff. I love this spot.

Peirogis and a pie flight
Jackie W.

I love pierogis and this place doesn't miss! They are open from 7-3 daily and have amazing brunch on the weekends!! Pierogis are so, so good!! They are also pet friendly on the patio which is fun to take our furry friend with us and stop between errands!

See all

Casa Brasil - Joel giving a roasting class

Casa Brasil

I am not sure if Casa Brasil has become Little City Coffee Roasters, if Little City has CB roast…read morecoffee for them, or if this place is now Little City's roasting house. But I tried my 3rd package of Little City coffee, (shipped from this address on their website) and though good coffee, it is simply not a dark enough roast for my espresso. I tried Messenger Espresso the first time, many months ago and was underwhelmed. The beans were just not dark enough, shiny enough nor oily enough for the sort of espresso shot I like to pull. They made perfectly passable drip coffee in a pour-over, but I am a 99% espresso guy. Recently I took advantage of a 20% discount and rapid delivery (next day! Arrived on Monday, ordered Sunday!) to try the two darkest roasts offered, Grackle and Republic. Again, passable drip coffees, but not able to produce the thick rich crema and distinctive oily mouthfeel and toasted flavor notes I was looking for. Great fast to the door delivery and good prices (though for a 12oz package, compare carefully) and as I noted, pretty good coffee, but I will return to the Italian espresso (occasionally mixed 75/25 with French Roast) from my usual roaster Anderson's to feed my Gaggia Classic Pro.

Another great Yelp event. I learned a LOT about coffee today. Joel, the owner of Casa Brasil is…read moredefinitely a coffee connoisseur. He gave us a Coffee 101 where we learned everything from the history all the way to how it reaches the end consumer. We learned about the different types and tastes of coffee at it's different stages. We were served many different brews from "defected" coffee beans up to some premium stuff so that we can get a taste for what good coffee should be like. Don't let the location fool you, when you walk into this warehouse looking shop, inside has some of the FINEST coffee you can buy. Joel's good buddies with all the best plantations and Brazil and prides himself on having first choice on all the BEST harvested coffees from these plantations. If you've had coffee at Spiderhouse, Uchi, Torchy's, and many other places around town, there's a good chance they're sources from Casa Brasil. Basically, if you like making coffee at home and not paying a premium for coffee at these shops/restaurants, you can order directly from Joel. They roast upon order so you definitely get the beans at it's freshest. The bags they come in are all hand-painted too. If you're not wanting to order from Joel or make a drive down south, you can find their coffee at your local Central Market. Bottom line, if you want the best quality coffee you can possibly find, go here.

The ambiance is really fun and unique, especially with the little water pond that adds a relaxed, outdoorsy vibe. There's a good mix of indoor and outdoor seating, so it works for different moods and weather. The drink menu is huge, with coffee, tea, and both alcoholic and non alcoholic options, so it's an easy pick no matter what you're in the mood for. I also like that there are food trucks right outside, which makes grabbing a bite super convenient. Plus, the large parking lot is a nice bonus. Overall, it's a really solid, easygoing spot for hanging out or going on a casual date.

The coffee is spot on as at the other location. Shared an iced butterscotch latte with my boyfriend and it was yumx2. There are similar interior decor elements but the exterior spaces differ slightly. Saltillo is more industrial and city. This location is huge with lots of outdoor seating as well as indoor. They've got a mini food truck park (3 trucks), koi pond, chickens, nature, etc. It's definitely a great spot for families with kids and larger gatherings of folks. Just like "our" location, service is exceptional. Everyone was so good to Sir Benjamin. He was so relaxed and chill during our hangout. It's that peaceful vibe that comes with good service and pretty landscaping.

Stoped by for a quick bite to eat. we arrived around 11:30…read moreAM on Saturday morning to discover , There were only three bagel flavors left for purchase. Ordered a egg and cheese bagel sandwhich on a regular begal and the cinnamon bagel with honey butter spread on the side. When the gentleman told us that they were only three bagels left, he mentioned there was a cinnamon bagel, but he did not mention there was raisins, which it does say cinnamon raisin on the menu however he only said cinnamon so we were expecting cinnamon only when we ordered it- not a big deal- the honey butter spread was literally butter and honey so when I ordered it on the side, it was a dollop of butter with honey sitting in the middle of it. odd but okay, i'm guessing most people don't order it in the side? I figured it would be mixed together I guess . anyways the egg was cooked perfect, the toast level on the begal was perfect as well. flavor was as to be expected nothing really stood out to me. definitely something to try if in the area, hopefully they have more bagel options avaliable next time we stop by.

It was good, although it was very messy. They charge an extra 50 cents for cream cheese, which seems excessive. The breakfast bagel sandwich without cream cheese ended up being $9.20. It was about a 15 minute wait. I didn't see anyone in line ahead of me, but I assume they were making online orders. They are located in a dilapidated-looking apartment parking lot, where the signs all say that parking is for residents only. I parked in one of those spots, but I kept worrying that my car was going to be towed when I turned away for a few seconds.
