We drive up from Austin because we LOVE Papi's so much. The food is absolutely delicious, beautifully presented on china plates, and the service is stellar! The restaurant itself is quaint and comfortable with indoor and outdoor seating available. It feels like coming home for Sunday brunch with the family! Try to save room for a slice of pie...it's amazing! I really can't recommend Papi's highly enough! Very warm and welcoming! read more

Mexican twist, and everything we tried was spot-on. Service was genuinely great--super friendly, fast, The vibe is chill, the menu has something for everyone (veggie, keto, meat lovers), and nothing felt overpriced. Already planning round two for the Salteñas. Highly recommend--go now. read more

Great quiches, amazing pies, cool ambiance. Worth the trip. WAZE will try to take you to park on Chisholm but you'll need to go around back.

My second visit to Papi's Pies and it was even better than the first time!! The ambiance is cozy, our server was fabulous, the food came out swiftly, and everything was fresh and delicious!! We've tried and enjoyed different dishes - crepes, salad, quiche, pie, etc - ALL TASTY! Oh and the coffee is delish as well! P.S. There's construction on the road in front of the building but Papi's is still open and there's a free parking lot on the corner!! read more

Don't blink or you'll miss it. I drove past because it looks like a residential property. Quaint little place, is around the side. It's like eating at grandma's house. Mismatched plates and display of teacup. Only about 8 small tables inside. There is a nice patio area which is 2-3 times bigger than the indoor area. Food was great! I ordered lavender lemonade, my sister ordered hibiscus water. Both are refreshing and not too sweet. I chose waffles with bacon and added a scrambled egg. Fabulous choice if I say so myself. Egg was well seasoned. Waffle came with berries & whipped cream. No need for syrup. The waffles were close to those I ate while in Belgium. Dense but not heavy, nice crunch of sugar. My sister said her crepe was great. Savory with ham and egg. Only down side is there were flies buzzing around. But they do have sinning things for the table to shoo them away. read more

I absolutely adore this little gem in Round Rock, been coming for years and always love the smiles from staff and knowing the love that goes into this fabulous food from the kitchen... The food is always exceptional. Sit inside or out, don't let construction hold you back! There are always sweet treats and of course pies by the slice or to go! This is what great a local business looks like... thank you for your years of serving our community! read more

This is such a cute little brunch spot! I've been meaning to try this place out for a while now and glad I finally did. The restaurant is not really noticeable as it's tucked in the back streets of Round Rock but once you get to the location, there are signs directing you down the path to a back area. It gives off an old timey cottage vibe which I adored. There's both indoor and outdoor seating. It was a lovely day so we opted for outdoor which was this artsy garden area. I'll admit that on the day we went, service was a tad slow but I appreciated the sign on the door giving us the heads up that they were understaffed for the day. Also since it was a nice day out, I didn't really mind. As for the food, I initially had wanted to try their salteñas (Bolivian empanadas) but sadly learned that they only have those on Fridays. Instead I ordered their Quiche Poblano and Lavender Lemonade. Let me just say, the quiche was so incredible that I had a hard time holding myself back from ordering a second plate of it. The lemonade was refreshing and had the perfect amount of lavender as well. All in all, a super lovely spot. I'll definitely be bringing any out of town guests here next time instead of going all the way into Austin, and also hopefully get to try their salteñas! read more

Frequent visiter after a random google search for breakfast in the area. It is such a sweet family owned spot. Come check it out as there is some road construction in front of their store and could be hurting their business. Food and drinks are SO GOOD. Great spot to sit outside as well! read more

Love Papi's Pies. Has that quaint feel of a European bistro without the 10-hour flight. Quiche is especially tasty. Friendly service. I highly recommend Papi's Pies. read more

What a cute little place! An old Round Rock house, turned into a charming French/Argentinian restaurant. Art for purchase adorns the walls along with birdhouses of every kind which along with the limited amount of seating inside and in their garden, makes for a pretty quaint yet whimsical restaurant. I could easily see myself having tea and pie here but for my first visit, it was all about the breakfast. I have heard tales of their liege waffles and though I was tempted by them, I knew I would be able to snag some bites from my nieces. For me, it was all about the croque madam croissant. It was incredibly flaky and buttery and the egg on top was cooked just perfectly. The bites of waffle I had were sugary and crunchy and indeed, did not need any syrup, though I would've liked to try it! I unfortunately did not get to try any of their famous pies but that's what next time is for! We got lucky in that we came sort of in-between breakfast and lunch, and somehow got the one table that was left but once we sat down, there were at least 4 other groups who wanted to be seated and had to settle for the chilly garden tables. Though I very much enjoyed my meal and the ambiance, I will say, if you are hungry, maybe go somewhere else, or just be prepared to order two meals/snatch food from your nieces when they aren't watching. The portions are fine but in my opinion could be bigger. read more

Papi's Pies - Desserts Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

My daughter and I had lunch at Papi's Pies on a recent Thursday. The weather was perfect to sit outdoors in the shade. There is also seating indoors. Based on previous reviews, the menu has changed somewhat and leans toward French bistro in style. The restaurant had a sign up indicating they were short staffed, and it appeared as if there were only 2 people running things. Since it was not crowded during our visit, there wasn't a significant wait. Had the place been full, anything cooked to order could take a while. We ordered 2 crepes. The crepes tasted good and seemed to be made using fresh ingredients. There was a cherry tomato garnish. My daughter had a lavender lemonade, which was slightly sweetened. Portion sizes are not generous, and pricing is on the high side given those portions. The quality of the food was excellent, and service was friendly, which may override any objections to pricing. read more

Charming restaurant with a great outdoor space. We were a group of three and were seated right away. We shared a croissant. It was delicious. Nice and warm. I had the Frittata Florentine. It was very good and surprisingly a lot of food. The salad was also very good. I really like this local Round Rock business and will definitely be back. read more

I went here solo today. I was thinking get a slice of pie and coffee and finish my errands. Instead I ordered a prosciutto and cheese sandwich with side salad and then the coffee and cherry pie! I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh and tasteful everything was. It was a beautiful day and I sat outside under an umbrella. If you go, park behind Papi's instead of across the street at the bank. I was praying I didn't get towed! The construction is still going on. Also if you go, you cannot be in a hurry or have a timeline. It's very laid back there. At first I was like come on hurry up! Then I decided "what's the rush?" I enjoyed it very much! Even got a coffee refill for free to go. read more

Wow!!! What a great find!! Nestled in the back off of Chisholm trail in Round Rock near "the round rock" is this amazing little jewel. We tried croquettes for the first time.. wow.. what a savory little delight. The ham and cheese were amazing. I will come back and try some pie soon because they look amazing... The service was very personable... felt like I was in Europe. The mood/ ambiance was very nice and quiet.... Just a great experience read more

Transport yourself to a quaint English cottage complete with its own garden when you enter Papi's Pies. It's a little hidden from the road which made it even more magical to eventually find the restaurant sign peeking out. The ambiance is casual and feels like you're at grandma's cozy home for an afternoon iced tea and lunch. We sat at a shaded area outside and it was perfect. I had the chilaquiles and the chipotle sauce it came with was perfect and as a spicy food lover the dish had a good amount of kick. 10/10 dish. Tried the croque madam and waffle and all were 10/10. High quality ingredients, perfectly seasoned, texture of the waffle was crispy and tartlets were all grilled to toasty goodness. The chef pays high attention to detail so don't be fooled by their humble cozy appearance. Oh and they brew their iced teas in house and the unsweetened peach one is AMAZING. You can order it sweetened too if you prefer. read more

If you're anywhere near this little gem and don't stop at Papi's Pies, you're doing brunch (and life) all wrong. This place? An absolute treasure. I would brave the unforgiving Texas heat, fire ants, and possibly even small talk with strangers just to sit on their patio. First of all, the quiches? Actual royalty. Fluffy, flavorful, perfectly baked--like someone's abuela whispered ancient pie secrets into the eggs. And the eggs themselves? Chef's kiss. Whether scrambled, poached, or tucked into some heavenly brunch concoction, they hit every single time. The whole vibe is cozy, quaint, and effortlessly charming--like stepping into a storybook where every chapter begins with "...and then we had mimosas." Bottom line: I'd happily melt in the Texas sun just to be here. The food is that good. The setting is that sweet. 13/10, would brunch again and again. read more

This is such an adorable and inviting spot in round rock and definitely worth a visit. What really makes me give this a 5/5 is just the charm of the whole place. You can see the love & care of the family restaurant as the owners are the ones serving you and explaining how to properly eat a Bolivian salteña as they did in Bolivia. It's warm, inviting, and has a cottage feel. Truly a lovely place to enjoy breakfast and stay a while! The menu is a mix of European, Bolivian, Mexican comfort foods, reflecting the owners backgrounds. We ordered the chicken salteña, cherry blossom tea, a few quiches, cherry pie. Everything was very good, I particularly really enjoyed the hot tea on a chilly day and the Florentine quiche. I'd love to come back to try some of the other menu items. I hope this place never loses its small-town feel & charm! read more

I give the food and service 5 stars. It was delicious and everyone was nice. They have a lovely small outdoor eating area as well as indoor. The one thing I cannot get over is how ridiculously horrible their water smells. We ate here 5 years ago an I gagged when I tried drinking the water and had honestly forgotten about it until they gave us water. It isn't their glasses because our kid got served in a disposable cup and it was just as horrid. Something is majorly up with their water. It kinda ruined the enchanted experience. If they can figure this part out they're a 5 star establishment. read more

This is a favourite spot for my wife and I. It's small and tucked away, just as we like it. The place is run out of a small cottage-like house, and it feels like you're around at your grandparent's house for food and drink. It's also just a minutes walk from the Round Rock's actual Round Rock location, so you could kill two birds with one stone :) The people are really nice, and the Saltenas are great; they remind us of Pasties from our homeland of England. Think of them as a baked empanada. If you decide to have one, you have to wait 20 minutes for them, as they bake them there. Hint: They're worth the wait. My current fave thing to eat is their Spanish Cheesecake; light, fluffy, and creamy. So good! They also sell whole pies to go, so if you need to feed a crew, they got you. The Chocolate Cream and Coconut pies are legit! When they're busy, it can take a long time to get served. That'd be the only downside of the place. Go. Eat. Drink. read more

Quaint and intimate. Delicious food and the pies, oh my, the pies. You just try this hidden gem.

The food was surprisingly good! The service was slow, but only because they were short-staffed -- everyone was still very friendly and attentive. It's the cutest little place, and we loved sitting outside. Such a beautiful day to enjoy it all! read more

The 'burbs are calling you to a secret garden and this gem of a cafe. Why wouldn't you want to sample 12 kinds of pie? Caution to the wind, just bring all your friends. I leaned on restraint and had a (yes, vegetarian/vegan) Quiche Poblano - light, delicious corn, onion, and cheeses layered with poblano in a potato crust alongside a mound of the freshest garden greens. The place is JUST DARLING, exactly where you'd envision meeting some Cheshire eating her heart out in 5 pies, but I tried one, my friend's makes two, and neither were my fave. So quiche it is! Take the house recommendation, also grab a croissant, they know what they're doing. read more

Papi's Pies - Poblano Quiche - Desserts Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I love Papi's Pies and I have been going there for years. Today's food experience didn't disappoint. My poblano quiche was delectable and my husband's croque mosieur was tasty. The chilaquiles were fine, sauce was tasty but the tortilla chips (homemade), were overcooked, brown, and very thick. We were there when it was about 90F outside and we realized the great need they have for cooling fans, specially considering that getting our order served took them over one hour! The tea refills didn't come often enough, considering the heat, and water was not offered either when we first sat down. When we finally got a tea refill it didn't have ice, and when they brought the ice, we had drunk the tea and there was no other refill offered to us. Overall, food was very good, but the facilities could use some TLC or upgrade to make their pretty patio pleasant, taking into account Texas temperatures. The staff could definitely be trained better to serve guests better and more efficiently. I wish it would have been a better experience since my husband and I were there to celebrate our anniversary, but at least we got a quiet table, with nice music. Funny note, this was my husband's first visit to this restaurant and he nicknamed it "Papi's Purgatory" because of the combination of the heat and the service experience mentioned above. The made a joke saying that he felt like Tantalus when they finally served us some of the food but didn't bring utensils for us to eat... ha ha ha! read more

Cutest little place to have brunch. Restaurant is literally an old house converted with option to sit outside under porch cover in yard. I've been twice now and both times were consistent in quality of food and service. Go to this place when you have time. It's not going to be fast service but the meals taste like old home cooking made with love. Lavender lemonade and peach tea are wonderful summer options. Plenty of pies to finish off the meal or take with you. read more

Directions UPDATE: If approaching northbound (e.g., from McNeil) don't turn left onto Round Rock Ave., continue on the service drive toward Sam Bass Rd. Instead of turning left at the light, you can take the left turnaround to get onto the southbound side and take the next right (Sunset Drive, just past the bank) and one more right to get to it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think I was looking for pumpkin empanadas when I found it years ago, but I discovered something better--Bolivian salteñas. It's now one of my favortie food spots in Austin. As I've reduced the meat, I've appreciated the variety of vegetarian options on their menu. My favorite menu item is now the Huitlacoche Crêpe--a little spicy; a lot of tasty. ;) I still pick up a few frozen portobello mushroom salteñas to store in my freeze for a warm breakfast or a wholesome backup meal later in the week or month. I am looking forward to eating their side salad again, once these braces come off...one of the few salads I've ever ordered intentionally. The place is cute, bright and comfortable. I enjoy coming here to read a book outside after basketball or when I have an afternoon free, and it's also one of my go-to recommendations for a spot to have a nice convo with friends. I miss this amazing tiger painting they had up once, but the art on the walls is swapped out regularly. My palette continues to expand to want more savory things, but Papi's Pies pumpkin pie is still one of my favorite deserts of the fall and early winter. I also like their blackberry pie, apple pie, and cherry pies. I'm a fruit pie person, but I dislike most of the popular flavors, except apple. This place is amazing for that because they usually have at least three fruit pies, so I'm rarely out of luck if my sweet tooth is callin'. Their pie crust is light and a bit toasty. Most pumpkin pies are dominated by the taste of sugar, but their pumpkin pie is a standout for me because as an actual spiced pie. The consistency is on the thicker side, so it's a pretty satisfying slice too. One last thing: Don't know if they'll reinstate the bring your own containers policy with COVID actually still being a thing. It was a big win with me when they had this policy. My green heart wishes I wouldn't take out as often as I do; but at least they give you compostable, paper-based containers. Thanks, José! Other notes: * dog-friendly patio * quiet * neighborhood location with friendly patrons * They do have a few vegan options, but most of the vegetarian options have dairy and the meals, cheese. * the scoop on the main team is on the About page of their website read more

Finally after too many years driving by this spot, we stopped and enjoyed the most delicious lunch. The food was wonderful- fresh and full of rich flavors.
