    Cinnamon Toast Crunch
    Goldie O.

    I was in Austin for the day and found this recommendation from TikTok! They close at 2PM and they were able to get me in right before they closed so I'm forever grateful lol I wanted to try some pastries but they let me know that they are made fresh, in-house everyday and they go fast! So they were sold out. I ended up ordering the Texas hash and the cinnamon rose which was like a French toast with the most immaculate choice of toppings on it. I'm a sweet and savory girl and they both were phenomenal. The hash was made with a mole sauce that gave it this Mexican taste to or which I absolutely loved. The cinnamon toast also had a really good mascarpone and this caramelized crunch that I enjoyed a lot. You also got a really good bang for your buck so I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Austin!

    Chilaquiles with fried chicken added.

    We have been to PB east location few times, wanted to checkout this location, made reservations a day before. This location PB is much bigger, they validate parking for an hour, that's good, got seated promptly. Patio is simple yet nice and comfortable, our server was nice, welcoming and friendly but not attentive. Food is good, as usual, place was pretty busy, so reservations are must.

    Long time fan of Paperboy but this was my first time at this location. As always, food was delicious and service was fast, attentive and friendly. The Texas hash is a must. Roasted pulled pork is quite filling but the kale and sweet potato makes it feel like it's still somewhat healthy! My husband ordered his go-to: the classic breakfast with two eggs, seasoned potato wedges and maple sausage. I took a small bite of the sausage and side of preserves and it's so good! If you're planning on getting weekend breakfast or brunch, make a reservation ahead of time as wait times can be long.

    First time at Paperboy South and it did not disappoint. This location takes reservations (highly recommend making one to avoid long waits) and offers validated parking for the first hour in the adjacent garage, which is convenient. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating spaces, both of which are cozy and comfortable. I started with a hot vanilla latte, which was delicious. For food, my girlfriend and I ordered: 1. chorizo and potato empanada to share - this was pretty oily. I've had better empanadas. This was a miss for me. 2. Paperboy pancake wjth blueberries, and a side of eggs + bacon. The bacon was crispy just the way I like it. Eggs were cooked to order and the pancake was decadent, massive, and delicious. This meal fed two of us easily. They brought some rice krispy treats out for dessert along with the check, which was a nice sweet bite to round out a good meal. Worth a visit.

    Orange juice, mimosa, Bloody Mary

    First time experiencing paperboy and the food and service was awesome! I loved the BEC, poblano biscuits and the hasbrown. The orange juice was also super good. Absolutely recommend reservation, the wait time was said to be 40 mins, ended up being closer to 1.5 hours. Also recommend going early or things sell out! Can't wait to go back!

    Chicken & biscuit, hash brown, Grits and pancake.

    Solid food and service. We were out on the patio in the late morning and the heaters did their work, very comfortable. It took about 25 minutes for us to get our food but once we addressed it their team was on top of it. We started with the cheddar jalapeño biscuits and they weren't as bold in their flavor as I would have preferred, but we enjoyed them. Chicken and biscuits were on point and the gravy is very good. The highlight for me was the cheese grits, as good as I've had...Really dug the grits! My wife had the pancakes and bacon. She thought the pancakes leaned a little too much towards cornbread (she's a pancake traditionalist). The bacon was fine, nothing to write home about. To be honest, I always use Phoebe's bacon as the standard, which may not be fair, but once you know what a fantastic piece of bacon tastes like you never forget it. We enjoyed Paperboy, it's probably a bit overhyped which is not their fault but it's definitely a solid choice for breakfast in ATX.

    Steak and eggs. The potatoes were amazing
    Alex

    I was visiting Austin and I decided to stop here to grab breakfast due to local saying it was a really good spot. It definitely did not disappoint.

    Cassie P.

    Pretty darn good! My breakfast sandwich was delicious and the hash brown was good.. but I feel like it was better on my last visit- I could tell what was off a little???? The gluten free muffin was AMAZING! Service was great! And it's a cute little restaurant!

    Paperboy pancake
    Holly D.

    Paperboy East is incredible so I had high expectations for Paperboy South. It can be challenging to get a reservation, but it is 100% worth it! Their food is incredible (with special mention to my favorite pancake in all of Austin), and the hip, friendly atmosphere makes it a great place to start your day. This is on my list for when friends come to visit!

    Natalie P.

    Yummy brunch food!! Our server was really nice as well. We ordered 4 dishes and it filled up 5 people! My favorite dish was the lox and I loved the citrus on it. Inside was very spacious and they had an outside seating area. Our server was really nice and welcomed us into Austin, since we were coming from out of town! There's a parking garage in the back and they validate your parking as well. I would say this is a good brunch spots for friends and family!

    Strawberry Fresca and matcha lemonade! Both amazing with so much flavor!
    Alex S.

    Holy cow such a making place for brunch easily one of my favorites ever! The drinks were so flavorful, the appetizers of chorizo empanadas, strawberry ricotta on toast, and strawberry pop-tart were so amazing we wanted more of them before our entrees came out. Then hash carnitas on mole, chicken and biscuit and chocolate chip pancakes were so yummy! Best pancakes ever had and others so full of flavor, this restaurant knows how to actually season their food which many other places upscale seem to struggle. Wait staff was amazing too and really helpful! If Austin was closer I'd drive two hours in a day to come eat here often! Come eat here now!

    Bec sandwich, cheesy hash brown
    Elizabeth T.

    I loved the atmosphere, food, and service! We had nice mild weather so we enjoyed the outside seating. The food takes awhile to come out but it's worth it! I'll tell you which ones I thought were worth it. Definitely the BEC sandwich was full of flavor and different textures. I really liked the cheesy hash brown. I would probably pass on the maple sausage next time. It was a bit too salty for my taste and the flavors weren't melding for me. But my son wouldn't eat the cheesy grits without the sausage lol. My little picky eater. No complaints from me about the cheesy grits. I tried my husbands steak and eggs. It comes with a chimichurri sauce. If that's your style. I liked the arugula salad. I enjoyed my sandwich more though. Overall great place to try some higher end breakfast food. The parking was in a garage and luckily there were signs pointing us to the right direction. We came early so we didn't wait at all to be seated. However, it seems like a popular place and would get crowded.

    Texas Hash (bottom), Chicken & Biscuit (left), Kale Salad (right), and Cheesy Grits
    Michelle Y.

    I've been wanting to try this place for years and finally had the chance to dine there the other day. While the service was absolutely incredible, I didn't find the food itself to be anything special. I ordered the Texas Hash. The pork and sweet potatoes were good, but nothing unique about them. My parents had ordered the Chicken & Biscuit and the Kale Salad. The Chicken & Biscuit was definitely the best order. The chicken was perfectly crisp and well-seasoned. I highly recommend. As for the Kale Salad, both my mom and I found it to be too salty. I did enjoy the coffee here. Their earl gray syrup was the perfect addition to my cortado! Back to the service, I thought the people here were so incredibly friendly. We brought our dog, and they provided her with a water bowl--so thoughtful! The ambiance was nice as well. We sat outside, and they had heaters on throughout the patio, which we appreciated.

The food was incredibly creative while still feeling approachable and shareable. Every dish felt thoughtful and unique without being overcomplicated. The burrata with curry was unreal, the beet hummus was packed with flavor, the shrimp was perfect, and the desserts completely lived up to the hype. One of those menus where you immediately want to order more just to try everything. The atmosphere is also part of what makes it special. Tucked into a former laundromat in a quiet neighborhood, it has that effortlessly cool Austin feel. It was charming, relaxed, and unexpected. And the staff truly elevated the experience. Warm, polished, knowledgeable, and attentive without ever feeling pretentious. Absolutely worth the short drive from the airport area.

We added lavender to mine and a little brown sugar flavor to hers. Good stuff! Turkish egg? Yep, exactly what I was thinking. What in the world is that. I don't know if it was a traditional dish but what an explosion of flavor. Put it all together on a perfectly toasted piece of bread and bam! Perfect accompaniment to a perfect brunch. Last but not least the Salmon Gravlax. Looks simple but by no means did it taste simple. Caviar on a buttery spread. Spicy pickles, perfectly cooked egg, seasoned tomatoes, rye bread. None of these are special in themselves but when combined, yes! Amazingness! Oh and the service? Wonderful! Attentive, kind, knowledgeable and welcoming. Space? Super cute! Felt like we were in a vacation town somewhere in Florida. Very retro, cool. Loved everything about this place. Zero complaints. Millions of compliments. Highly recommend!
