    Pancake
    Jamie P.

    Finally made our way down to the new paperboy location on South Lamar. We had a reservation and they seated us promptly at our reservation time. I was grateful that the patio had protection from the sun. Service was pretty quick considering how busy they are and the food is consistently good. Parking on South Lamar is made easier with their underground parking garage. The pancake is huge and could easily be split. The bloody Mary was surprisingly strong.

    Kind of like a hash bowl, again, forgot the name!

    So that was D-freaking-licious. What a great place to brunch! This was my first time at Paperboy South, and now it has burned itself into my brain for future visits to Austin. Great vibe, interesting menu, friendly but unobtrusive service... digging it. We started with some ricotta toast, a first for me, but man whenever I find this again... it will be ordered. Wow, what a great flavor with the fluffy ricotta, tangy fruit and glaze. This was a revelation for me. Honestly, right now cannot remember the name of my specific dish, but honestly it was like a brunchy carnitas platter, and I was here for it. Nothing like BYO tacos with a brunch spin. I just remember loving it. Great visit, thanks Paperboy South!

    Finally got to try this place. I've tried the east side location and man, it's hard to get in. Came with another friends and we sat on the outside patio. Really enjoy that the patio is fully covered, yes if it were to be a windy, rainy day may not work out but for the most part this was great. They have a take out window for orders as well. Inside looked quaint with bright lighting. I got the pancakes cause it was recommended and they weren't too shabby. Would I say they are the best? No, tasty, yes. Friends got other dishes, of course I don't remember what they were but they did enjoy. Make a reservation and try them out. Parking was also convenient and they validate.

    Truly outstanding breakfast venue. First time at this restaurant. Was worth the 20 minute drive and paying to park, although they give you a discount when you check out. On parking. Sat inside. Has a very modern, clean, well laid out, upscale diner feel, with comfortable booth seating (and an outdoor area too that was spacious, but not appealing to me on a reasonably warm, somewhat humid day). Let me get right to it. Everything I ate was A++. The five of us shared a pancake, which was extremely fluffy and tasty, with melted butter. I did not have the French toast, which looked inviting, but a sugar overload. I also did not try the homemade pop tart that everyone said was very good. My latte with whole milk, served hot, was delicious. I went simple -- had two eggs, with bacon, potatoes, and toast. This was a memorable breakfast with ordinary ingredients that was prepared in an exceptional manner and perfectly seasoned. There's not much more that I can say, other than when you can make the ordinary taste special you're doing something extremely right! Our primary server, see photo, was delightful and efficient. Fellow that brought the food was also friendly. Presentation was excellent, even though fairly simple. Prices were extremely fair for the quality of the food in my opinion. I completely understand why you need reservations. Truly outstanding breakfast!

    Cinnamon Toast Crunch

    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!

    The best cinnamon toast I've ever had. Perfectly cooked eggs. Delicious drinks. Go try it. You'll love it

    I've been here countless times, so I can't believe I haven't written them a review yet. I'm SO happy they opened up a south location as this is perfect and hence my frequent visits :) First things first, they validate first hour of your parking in the garage, so don't forget to scan the QR code by the check-in desk. Secondly, come early bc they run out of their fresh made pastries so often!! Food wise: here are all the dishes I've had before. Shareables: poblano and cheddar biscuits - perfect for a group. Jalapeño jam is delicious! Chorizo empanada to die for but they always run out so come early! Cinnamon toast - this is too sweet for me but everyone loves this and good to share if you just want a small bite Entree: Chicken and biscuit - delicious and big portion Texas hash - delicious and different Steak & Eggs - always a great option. I love it here. Great service. Great food. Great ambiance.

    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.

    Latte and cappuccino
    Elvira O.

    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.

    Vanilla Latte
    Samyukta S.

    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.

    Chilaquiles
    Amy M.

    Second time visiting paperboy but first at their south location. Unfortunately, this visit left us wanting a bit more. We ordered a round of frozen hibiscus margaritas which are delicious and STRONG. Perfect especially if you're sitting outdoors. I got the chilaquiles and while they were delicious, the portion size was definitely lacking...was sadly still hungry after my meal. Service was fine but was better at the east location.

    I've been hearing about the breakfast at Paperboy for a while and finally made my way there. First, I really like the ambiance and atmosphere. The outdoor patio is nice to sit and enjoy your meal. Even when it's hot outside as the patio is covered. Second, the service is fantastic and the staff is friendly. Lastly, the food is delicious. I tried the pancakes as that's what this place is known for. Definitely fluffy and flavorful. I was hoping to try some of their starters, but they were all sold out by the time I arrived. So, I recommend to book an early time for breakfast/brunch. Overall, a great experience and I would return again. I'm interested in seeing the vibes at their other location next time.

    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!

The Cosmic effect can be realized through the red string lighting inside. Cosmic has indoor seating and outdoor seating with a covered patio. The lush greenery and trees make the venue visually appealing. In addition, a food truck park is across the walkway creating more interest. Joint outdoor seating is also shared with the food truck park. You can easily toggle between the food trucks and Cosmic. In addition, since there is so much outdoor space, the venue appears to be dog friendly. The drink menu has quite a lot of variety. In the early morning hours, you have the opportunity to drink lattes, espresso or cold brews paired with pastries. As the day continues, you can add to the drink menu wines, beer and cocktails. I had hibiscus tea with a croissant...both delicious. That morning, I was the only customer, so I had dedicated service. Will have to return in the evening...

The interior is spacious. The entire place is welcoming and friendly. Super service. Super cocktails. Super coffee. Super other drinks. You see where I'm going, right? I love it here!

I usually only go to coffee shops to work, but today, went on a coffee date with my dog instead. There's ground floor parking in the garage that's complimentary for two hours. I kept it simple with a vanilla latte. I noticed they had tacos at the bottom of the food menu, but at $13.25 for two tacos + an a la carte item, I decided to pass. Maybe my expectations were too high (as usual) because it's inside a hotel, but I was hoping for the kind of warm hospitality hotels are known for, but instead, the service felt a bit cold. It didn't exactly make me want to spend more money there. While sitting on the patio, I spotted the food truck outside and thought, "PERFECT. A food truck HAS to be cheaper. Take that Simona's!" I walked up to the window... only to find out it wasn't actually a separate food truck. It was just the pickup window. To order? I had to go back inside to Simona's and place my order with the delightful staff... I ended up ordering two Blue Migas tacos, and honestly, they were just... good, but nothing memorable. They tasted like your average breakfast tacos that you can find all over Austin for less. Despite loving how relaxing the outdoor patio is with its lucious greenery surrounding you and the beautiful French chairs and cafe tables, it's located right next to the hotel pool. If you're visiting on a summer afternoon, expect some extra noise with pool guests. If you're looking for a quiet coffee or a place to work, I'd recommend coming early in the morning instead.
