My boyfriend lives here in Austin and lives close by so Quickie Pickie is our go to spot for a quick beverage. We typically take walks here or scoot. I've read in some of the other reviews that the staff is rude, and unfriendly, but I've never experienced that at all. I've been here more than twice but sometimes forget my phone at home so didn't get to check in. There's always a girl who greets us and tells me I'm beautiful and the guy behind the counter is super polite as well. They always send us off telling us to have a great day. Haven't tried any of their food our buy anything else besides drinks, but I see lots of people eating and using the WiFi when we stop by. read more

What an unusual and wonderful little place! A convenience store of a sort that should be a model for every one in the country. The Quickie Pickie has a small store section featuring interesting grocery options and cold drinks. The cafe features a selection of great taps, interesting sandwiches and salads (vegan options), and desserts (some gluten free options). A great place for a very good cup of coffee and a funky, delicious sandwich. read more

Well it's my third or fourth visit so I in general like the place. 1. Chocolate cake was extremely dry. 2. Breakfast Tacos are good 3. Grocery section good 4. Spaghetti noodles with greens just okay 5. Salad to go. No dressing? I guess it's dry too. I guess I didn't say I wanted some salad dressing. I love being able to walk over and buy something like clothes washing liquid, all manner of snackage, and beverages. I think the grocery section rates a four. read more

I had the best time over at Quickie Pickie last night! First off- it's super cool because it's a store but it's got over 20 beer taps or you can get a sick pack or single from the store cooler and drink it! (They also have wine) the food was amazing! I had the chicken tacos on corn tortillas, I comes with two tortillas so it really makes two tacos. The wait staff is extremely friendly and was patient with my friend and I when we wanted to try out several beers. My friend had the Pastor tacos which were amazing as well. read more

I generally liked this place but I just went for the first time since covid started and their setup is not great. First, their online ordering system wasn't working. Then when I asked about it, the lady simply said "you can't order online." Yet, they're on DoorDash??? Both hand sanitizer dispensers were empty, and there were none next to the register despite the fact that they make you sign a paper with a pen - even if you use ApplePay. Food was fine. Not worth the anxiety levels provoked by this experience. read more

Every single time that I am in Austin, I HAVE TO COME HERE. I don't know the neighborhoods in Austin, but it's in a very artsy part of town. I forgot what breakfast taco I get, but it has avocado, bacon, egg... and jack cheese? I top it with the spicy salsa it's soooooooo good. Everyone, please go and try it. This place is like a mini mart, but with awesome food and natural/organic drinks and snacks. Service is a hit or miss, but I don't care, they just take your order at the register, not like you have to sing kumbaya. read more

Cute little place for some afternoon drinks and snacks. There are probably better places to accomplish afternoon drinks but I like it here. Surprisingly good wine selection and the staff is friendly. read more

One of my stops on the Eastside for a quick inout coffee taco breakfast or lunch. Always treated well and great customer service. Americano and taco I'm on the way to work. Small little store items drinks, beers, wines, snacks, Small kitchen making great treats definitely recommend. read more

Tried the Saltimbocca sandwich because of a referral. My guy was right! Oh, the slow roasted beef, prosciutto, pear chutney, marsala sauce....great bun...GREAT flavor combo...things put together that you wouldn't think would taste good, but works so well. What's left to say? Yum! HUGE fan! Will have to try more menu items. I think I'l go for a more healthy version and get the "hippie" next time. Right on! read more

Just moved to the neighborhood, and we've been loving the quickie pickie so far... my only complaint is that the drink selection (aside from beers) is very small... read more

I adore this place. Have been a regular since forever. ALWAYS great service and atmosphere. Shyler pours the PERFECT pint every time. And everyone else- Rudy, Adam et al are terrific and work hard to ensure you have a great experience. Get a quick bite or necessities to go, or relax and enjoy. Super dog AND kid friendly! Cheers! read more

Many people know Quickie Pickie as a convenience store/restaurant, but I come here almost everyday for the amazing cold brew coffee at the most reasonable price in town. I am SUPER picky about my cold brew and it never disappoints! A beautiful balance of fruity acidity and smooth caramel/chocolate. It's never watery and always complex in flavor. Their espresso-based drinks are also delicious! I also like their grab-and-go section of prepared foods, cheeses, and deli items. I'm surprised to see people have made comments about rude staff. I have always had very pleasant experiences with all who work there. read more

I've been disappointed in Quickie Pickie lately. I feel like their standards have significantly gotten lower. Some of the staff are so rude, Acting like I'm inconveniencing them by ordering a coffee. And the coffee is rarely how I ordered it. It's so close to my work and convenient for breakfast, coffee and snacks but I think I will be finding a new place. It used to be so great and now it's terrible. The employees need training in customer service. read more

My first thought upon entering. .."whoa! It's like Sunrise, without the bad smells and sketchy neighborhood " Beyond the similarities of draught kombucha and kickass bottled beer selection though, they're incomparable animals. Quickie Pickie is way more Jr. Whole Foods to Sunrise's roided-up convenience store. Awesome! *Fantastic upscale-deli menu. *Magnetically amazing dessert case. *Super taps of craft beer. Great beer-centric events. *Best chai in the history of my life ever. (ChaiS plural, I should say. .. think I had 3 of them while the boys were partaking of giant rare beer tappings. Soooooo good! ) *Lovely dog-friendly patio with killer music. read more

We love quickie pickie! From the coffee to the food it's delicious! Its a short walk from our house so whenever I bring my daughter to the park we stop by first and get some fresh fruit for a picnic! The breakfast tacos are bomb as well as the hot sandwiches, I'd suggest the founder (: and I'd def stop by if you've never been, from my experience you can't really go wrong with anything !! read more

Quickie Pickie is one of those good ol' neighborhood spots on E 11th street. I park a few blocks away for work and decided to take up one of my co-workers recommendation and went to order some tacos. Side note: When I first walked in I thought this place was super cool because they have craft beers, wine, ice cream, coffee, food, a small grocery area, a dining area, and more. It's definitely a cool place to grab a pre-made lunch or breakfast and some espresso. So I ordered the migas taco and a chorizo and egg taco. In San Antonio when migas is on the menu, it's usually just the migas and eggs, but not here! They threw in cheese and pico - lemme tell ya. It was one of the best migas tacos I've had in ATX so far. It was amazing and it hit the damn spot. Next, I munched down on my chorizo and egg taco. GUESS WHAT. They added in QUESO FRESCO. I do that at home and goodness it was delicious. They also don't SKIMP on these babies. They filled mine to the point where you almost can't close the tortillas. I ordered two tacos. Each taco was like two tacos in one. I was surprised they were THAT good. I was almost going to give up on finding tacos in ATX, but these restored my faith in the ATX taco scene. Thanks Quickie read more

I am not an Austin resident so let me tell you why I gave it 4 Stars. Star 1-location: great location from Franklins BBQ. Showed up at 8am to get in line for BBQ and this place was only about 6-7 minutes walking from Franklins. Star 2-food/coffee: they had lattes, cappuccinos and drip coffee that was very good. The tacos are a decent size and very filling. Yes, maybe a little pricey for a breakfast taco($3+ per.) but it's convenient. Star 3-Vibe: definitely had that Austin hipster feel. Whether you like that or not is up to you. Star 4-time: they were probably the only place open at walking distance from Franklins at 8 am on a Sunday. That matters because if you have/haven't been to Franklins you know/should know that you are in for a wait. read more

Wish I had this place in my hometown! A cute little grocery story and breakfast spot. Great coffee! Will definitely be back.

I had the Prego sandwich. Holy crap, it was absolutely delicious and came out very quickly and quite reasonably priced. It was even worth the gridlock on 35. Come and get you some! read more

Love their vegan taco and fried avocado taco- great meal for a vegetarian. Their brunch tacos and bagel sandwiches are also delicious. I make sure to bring my friends and family from out of town when they visit and everyone wants to go back immediately. read more

If every neighborhood was lucky enough to have its own Quickie Pickie, the world would be a better place.

Quickie Pickie is one of those aptly named businesses. It is a cool space to pick up that little thing you forgot when you were doing your shopping, like a friendly corner store. They carry different items -- groceries, snacks, wine, beers. They even have a little food counter in the store. I liked that they had a patio area and seats inside if you wanted to hang out a bit. We were not in a hanging out mood, so we just grabbed the lighter that we needed and left after. Since the service was fast, we were in and out in a matter of minutes. Quickie Pickie is a good corner store. They are convenient and carry a good selection of items. read more

Inconvenient service. Can't decide if it wants to be a store or a hipster restaurant.

Seriously, I rarely give out one stars. It happens once in a blue moon. So if you're reading this, then you caught the blue moon. My friend and I from work went out to lunch. We decided to try this place out. I've seen it when I drive along 11th Street but never had the chance to go until now. We went inside and it seemed a bit small. We had to go around the tall tables to get to the counter. At first we thought it was a sit down restaurant. We had no idea it doubled as a grocery store. Then I ordered a BLTX which came with chips. The menu items looked really good. I mentioned I would like to have it with a Mexican coke. Then the woman behind the counter look shocked. It's as thought I asked the worst, offensive question unimaginable. I had to break the shock look in her face and I ask politely, "What drinks do you have behind there?" "Well these are our coffees? If you want a soda, you have to get it on the side of the wall (refrigerator)." The tone came across as "Haven't you been here before? Obviously you haven't." I'm not a high maintenance person where I feel the employees of any given business should bow down to my feet as if I was Loki of Asgard. I must admit I went to a hipster Eastside eatery but I've been to so called "hipster" places. The majority of those places know how to be polite. The BLTX was okay but my friend did not like her chicken salad sandwich. She wasn't prepared to taste a slice of dry chicken with mustard on it. She ended up eating the chips, taking a couple of bites of her sandwich and fed the pigeons with bread. read more

Beer galore. Gotta be the best selection in East Austin. 27 beers on tap, pretty good variety, but the beer-to-go selection is phenomenal. It was crazy crowded up in here when we stopped by last night. Like crowds in the aisles. No room to stay to grub (maybe about 6 bar seats, and tables inside and out were packed), so I can't comment on that, though they have several menus depending on the time of day. Purchased a Firestone Walker "Walker's Reserve" Porter bomber, and can't wait to dig into it. I mean, it has my name on it twice, it's a porter which I love, and it's a bomber. BOOM! read more

Quickie Pickie is just that. A charming place to quickly take your pick, but what's better is that is offers the choice to stick around and stay a while should you want to enjoy a nice cold beer or brew on their patio. Their grocery section, though minimal, is maxed out with local finds like Cornucopia and all sorts of locally crafted beer. Adjacent to the few rows of general-store-like goods is a cozy sitting area, a fridge with take away meals, and a counter service to order coffee, food, or beer on tap. The inventory for said coffee, food, and beer are solid and something for I would certainly return. Whether it's a quick pick-up for a snack or a day in the sun sipping or working, quickie pickie will be a constant spot for me! read more

I hate this place so hard that it made me laugh. I encourage anyone who wants to get into their beer selection and food to do so, but I couldn't get past the clientele that they attract. I felt like I was showing up to a casting call for Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark where the casting director couldn't decide if he wanted all the extras to be friendlier looking nazis in lederhosen or part of the team that Indy needs to fight to rescue the Ark before Hitler used its biblical powers to take over the world. Everyone in the place, aside from the group of I guess owners in the corner who were writing out checks to themselves were pretentious hipsters... and I realize it's Austin's East Side... but I frequent Rio Rita, Shangrila, Yellow Jacket, etc... and have never felt this level of douchebaggery at any of them. I would describe this place as upscale hipster douche. If you love that crowd, then wax up your Rollie Fingers mustache and head down there after your old timey workout including lifting that barbell that bends with the balls on it. If you don't, then go across the street to the much more tame Hillside Farmacy or anywhere else on the East Side. read more

Mmmmmyesss. How badly and how long have I lusted for a gourmet bodega with healthy prepared food, a slew of microbrewed draught and bottled beers, and decent espresso drinks? How much and how often am I going to stuff my face here? What the hellll with that chocolate section? HAVE SOMEHOW THEY BEEN TAPPING INTO MY MOST WANTON HEDONISTIC FANTASIES? The service is casual but friendly. It feels like they're still working out some of the minor details, but the basics are thoughtfully appointed. The seating area's minimal, bright, and beautiful. No complaints (!!!) on my brunch cortado. Their green iced tea's pleasantly floral and alarmingly good. The breakfast tacos are substantial, with quality fillings and fresh salsa, though the tortillas on the ones I tried were a little on the dry side. I had the sandwich with eggplant spread and it had a lot of good things going on. I also tried the lentil salad, which I'd get again. I brought home blood orange San Pelligrino and New Belgium pluot ale, so the aftermath of today's visit's just as positive as being there. read more

What happens when you take the underlying economic principles backing convenience stores & gas stations and throw a hipster kitschy vibe on it? You get the Quickie Pickie, a store that might have the highest concentration of artisan food and drink for sale in city noted for these things. Be prepared to pay San Francisco prices when you step inside. 8 dollar pints of gelato, 6 dollar bottles of OJ, 12 dollar 4 packs of ginger beer and I promise this list is inexhaustible. You should be in a hurry or lazier than Garfield if you choose to shop here; most times I'll take the extra time to drive to a grocery store so I can keep my arm & leg. A noted plus is their extensive beer menu and in house food. These items have your typical bar / restaurant markup so the experience is far less painful. Throw in the fact that the food is pretty tasty and you've got the makings of a neat local watering hole. As long as you stick to this right half of the store you're doing good. read more

I work nearby and so have been able to frequent this spot for a meal 3 times already. First visit: expensive pork sandwich with dry pork, very tough prosciutto, and overall very dry. I called and told the manager, who while very grateful for the feedback, offered nothing in terms of a future sandwich on the house. Second visit: an egg salad sandwich which was certainly not bland, and while I like my food well seasoned, it seemed like the salt and pepper was overpowering on it. What appeared to be an owner or manager sat at a table nearby eating the same thing, and so maybe that is how they like it?? Third visit: at breakfast... ordered a bacon-egg-cheese taco and a bean-egg-cheese taco (both straight off the menu). The register printer was broken and so the person taking the order scratched something on a ticket and called it out (correctly) and hung it up for the cooks. Somehow that resulted in me receiving a bag of tacos that, when opened a few minutes later at work, contained two bean and cheese tacos. So not one taco that I actually ordered. My other critique of the place is that when you enter (esp. for the first time), it's not extremely clear where to order food and where to buy groceries - it's somewhat clear but the staffing at the two spots is inconsistent, and workers have seemed flustered more than once when I have asked who could help me check out. The place certainly has a cool, upbeat atmosphere but quality of food and execution of service is lacking. I am surprised at the overwhelmingly strong reviews so far; I work with and know others who have already been several times and are giving it very lackluster feedback as well both in the food and execution. However, I am VERY hopeful their performance will improve as the east side is in desperate need of something like this!! read more

Been here 3 times. Friendly staff and good place to hang out. Their kombucha and tea are really good. They have an atm in this place if your ever need cash for those cash transactions!!! Know what I'm saying? read more

I have to love this place for introducing me to my favorite local hot sauce: Yellowbird Sauce. If you don't know what this is, you are now officially welcome. If you like sriracha sauce, this is about 1,000 times better. AND LOCAL!! They have bombass sandwiches and promote local Austin businesses, which makes me coming back here time and time again. Their outdoor patio is always bumpin' and is dog friendly. I have tried a few of their sandwiches and you really can't go wrong with that or their salads. I love this lil' local hidden gem. :) read more

So very Austin-y. Equally set up to eat in or take out. More on each of those in a second. Cool outdoor patio area that seems to be full when the weather is nice. However, the prices are high. Especially on the "grocery" goods. Higher than Whole Foods for sure. Even less cool is the fact that much of the stuff isn't marked with a price tag, so you never know what you're gonna get when they scan that (bag of coffee, hummus, bag of chips) at the register. An entire wall of wine, most of it in the $15+ range. Even more beer than wine--a pretty impressive selection and almost all of it is already cold. You won't find Miller Lite here. The prepared foods menu is small, but mighty. A handful of items for breakfast, daytime and later at night. There's also a cold case with prepared salads and sandwiches for those who don't wish to wait for freshly-made. The coffee (Counter Culture) is good, fresh and strong. read more

This place is where I wanna be in a zombie apocalypse! Aside from the Big burgers and tasty guacamole dip this place has all kinds of Beer & Wine spirits and not to mention late night snacks to go. read more

If you are looking for a convenient spot in the flourishing East 11th hood, this is a great spot to grab groceries, park and drink some coffee complete with free wifi, or to grab breakfast on the go. Frankly, this isn't a sit down restaurant, but the food is good in the sense that this spot is more for socializing over coffee, working remotely, or grabbing a beer (the selection is out of this world) with friends at a local neighborhood spot. The brunch is great and you can not go wrong with what you order from that menu. The line on weekends can get a little long, but nothing too daunting. What is most endearing about Quickie Pickie is their awesome staff and the fact that they support so many local businesses here in Austin! Love this cute spot. Highly recommend it! read more

What an epically cute place. It's the perfectly strange combination of a Whole Foods gone convenience store. Once inside take a quick turn to the left for any shopping needs from frozen pizzas, to instant oatmeal, and even herbal tea. They also carry a nice selection of beer and drinks. Walk straight forward to order some bites off the small menu. I had a couple breakfast tacos (2 was all I needed) and they were scrumptious. Plenty of well cooked scramble eggs embraced with some melted cheese and black refried beans. It was filling and not greasy. I'd feel good about any meal I had here. Cute, fun and delightful. Would recommend if you're looking for something casual and/or to pick up a few necessities. read more

Convenient and surprisingly tasty. I first fell in love with the QP out of convenience. It's a few blocks from my apartment, so I'd stop in for some wine, beer, or premade food. One fine day, my favorite taco spot was closed so I went here for some tacos and now they're all I can taco bout. THEIR TACOS ARE CRAZY good. The teriyaki is probably my favorite, followed by the pastor. Breakfast tacos are also great. LALA. It's great. read more

I love it here. The food is always delicious and the staff is friendly. I am confused by reading the reviews about this being a hipster only place. I am definitely not a hipster and have always felt comfortable here. I love the vegan breakfast taco, the crab cakes, and I like to grab some coleslaw to go if I am grilling out later in the day. I met the owner today and she was SO nice! This is our new spot for sure! read more

Usually happy with the food and service here but today was awful. Ordered a salad and two sandwiches that came out after 45 mins. The sandwiches were missing ingredients as was the salad. When we asked for the goat cheese missing from the butternut squash sandwich, the barista handed us a small cup of pimento spread and maintained it was goat cheese. To top the whole experience off, the beer and cider tasted like soap. Either service/quality here has certainly declined or the cafe is having a bad day. Either way I am unimpressed, feel cheated, and won't be back. They charge way too much to have this many issues. read more
