    How are you going to be a breakfast place, serving "coffee on the go daily....espresso, cappuccino, latte" but not open until 9am? What is that? People need coffee and breakfast in the morning, you know when real people wake up, 6/7 am. Imagine being the owner of this place. "I'm gonna open up a breakfast place that opens at 9am." Yikes. Completely devastating.

    Iced Amethyst Matcha ???
    Ariadna S.

    My company ordered lunch form this place for a pick up. I had Salmon Benedict. The description on Toast app was absent so I had no idea it was served on a hashbrown until I go it. Which I wouldn't order if I knew. The sauce tasted a little weird, left a strong aftertaste. I was a bit concerned so i didn't finish my food. I stated feeling a tad queasy a couple hours after. My drink was not what I ordered - Amethyst Matcha on Oat. It looks and tastes like espresso and on regular milk. I cannot this amount of milk. :/ aaaaand they give you paper straws with drinks, which is a big no-no for me, there are plenty of eco-friendly options on the market these days to not let your customers drink from a soggy paper straw (had to reuse one from my previous drinks).

    I kept seeing Sawyer & Co on social media so when in Austin we decided to try it for breakfast. A lot of people mention long wait times but we must have gone at a good hour because we got seated right away even though it was Formula One weekend. On our way out we did see a line forming so I guess we got lucky. The food was good, nothing that really blew me away, just classic diner food which makes sense because it is a diner. What I will say is the service was great. Our waitress was really nice and the staff kept checking on us to make sure everything was good which I appreciated. Overall it was a fine experience and I understand why people enjoy it, especially if you arrive at the right time.

    Lost Bread

    Came to Sawyer & Co for brunch this morning with my hubby and first of all, felt like I was being transported back in time with the decor. Very retro diner vibes with hints of modern day designs. Super cute. For the meal - they had a daily special running for blueberry lavender matchas and blueberry lavender lattes so I ended up snagging the matcha and it was very very good (I opted for iced). I ordered the Lost Bread (aka French toast) with a side of bacon and my husband ordered the breakfast biscuit with the strawberry compote that accompanies the pancakes. Super obsessed with the approach of the French bread because it was actually made with....French bread. (As opposed to regular toast) I got a bite of my husband's breakfast biscuit and the biscuit was perfection. We're looking forward to coming back for lunch!

    Belgium Waffle (GF)

    Waffle was stunning, crispy great texture, fresh fruit and cream what more could you want. ALSO GUYS i was truly so blown away that the table syrup they served it with was REAL MAPLE SYRUP, i of course noticed immediately and was flabbergasted, this is such an impressive nice touch i never have been to a restaraunt that does this??? Huge huge props i was overjoyed. Gaston breakfast scramble was so good, great flavor and portion, amazing with sourdough and yummy (but under-seasoned) potatoes. Very tasty pie too. Service was great and the people are so nice! Easy 5 star review, highly recommend I love sawyer & co!!

    Randomly went here for happy hour and enjoyed everything! We went on National Tequila Day because they had advertised specials, however the staff didn't know about it. We ended up getting discounted happy hour cocktails that did not have tequila in them. Both drinks we ordered were delicious! This cute little diner had great cocktails. We ordered a burger with fries and some type of roasted veggie grits bowl. Everything was delicious and prices were so reasonable. We will definitely be back for breakfast or brunch soon. We came on scooters so I'm not sure if there is parking, but it's located right next to De Nada tacos.

    Two Egg Breakfast
    Mary L.

    1145 on Sunday is the absolute worst time to go to Sawyer & Co for brunch. So we went. At least my friend had made a reservation, but we still had to wait a little while among the hungry hordes. Our server was genial but frazzled. He seemed puzzled when my friend asked her eggs be "soft-scrambled." Or, more likely, unsure of how to enter that on his order-taking device. The eggs arrived well done and she rolled her eyes, pushing them aside. She just shrugs it off because she's a better person than I am, and never ever sends food back. She said everything else was good. I ordered the simplest 2-egg breakfast, and it was delicious. The over-easy eggs golden-yoked and runny, the biscuit a fluffy delight, the Brabant potatoes heavenly creamy, and the bacon perfect. The former site of Arkies has been redone in cool funky retro. Even the Washroom is charming. One of these days. I gotta get back for a nice peaceful lunch.

    ok I've gone a few times now and feel confident in this review. The service is always impeccable, and the food is wonderful. I would honestly give this a 3.5/5 -- the drinks are "meh" and a little over priced, and some of the food portions are small for the price. Otherwise, the place is always clean, the people are always kind and the food is always cooked well.

    We came here for my friend's bachelorette brunch. They had plenty of seating available both indoor and outdoor so no problem sitting a large group. Our server was amazing and offered great suggestions. I went with the Chicken and Pancakes and it was delicious. I loved the vanilla butter that comes on top really added to the dish. I also got the Hugo spritz which was made perfectly. I will definitely be back as I enjoyed everything we had!!

    I love trying out new places and can't believe I haven't been here before. But glad we got to grab a quick brunch lunch. It's a cute little place. Kinda dark where we sat but it was comfty in the booth. The waitress was so nice and helpful. Not sure what I wanted but I was craving fries and saw Friday special was tempura chicken and that sounded good. Bad for you but good lol it's Friday! My friend heard their shrimp and grits was good so she got that. We had our lunch meeting and out came our food really quick and fresh. My goodness the fries. I loved my fries. One of the best I've had. Crispy on the outside and soft inside and very hot. Almost burned my mouth but they were seasoned so well and so good. I was full lol The tempura chicken sad to say was very greasy. Wanted to like it. Couple bites was good but no way can you eat all 4/5 fingers. Too oily. But I had to take it home to share because it wasn't bad just so rich and greasy. The fries already filled me up so I was content. And very full lol Her grits and shrimp she said was good. Ok. But $19 felt like a lot and mine was $15 only because it was a weekly special. So prices are kinda high but probably not for these days. Mine was good being it was a special. All in all enjoyed our lunch. Loved the atmosphere too. Easy parking in downtown easy Austin as well. Did not my fries and the dipping sauces my dishes came with. Would love to see how their other dishes are. Let me see your reviews as well :)

    We made reservations for a Saturday brunch. Super cute retro diner vibes with a nice outdoor area. Started off with some deviled eggs, which were pretty good. If you're looking for a healthier option, I really enjoyed the roasted root vegetables with eggs. The biscuit is yummy too . For something more indulgent, the fried chicken with pancakes was delicious ! Not a fan of their coffee - very bitter and impossible to drink without lots of cream and sugar . But their espresso martinis looked delicious ( didn't try one though ) Overall, a good experience and worth checking out :)

Unfortunately, the kitchen just wasn't on their game this day. We went for brunch and it is a lovely restaurant with some amazing looking pastries. My ratings of the food we got are below. Overall, everything was just okay and not something I would order again. Our order: Salami and cheese - 1/10, not even edible with how much olive oil they dumped on it. Hard cheese and meat. None of us touched it. Frites - 9/10, hard to go wrong here. Nice and crispy French cruller - 7/10, I think this is just personal presence here I wished it was warmed up. Flavor was good but it was a little dry. Burger - 5/10, the flavor is there and definitely has potential but it was so bloody and rare which is not what we asked for. My friend has a gluten allergy and she asked for the burger lettuce wrapped and it just came on top of a huge chunk of iceberg so wouldn't recommend that if you want it lettuce wrapped. Chicken sandwich - 8/10, this was good with a nice crispy chicken. It could have used something sweet to balance the spice though it was a little one dimensional.

We were both starving and this place is open 24/7. I drove by it for 20 years on the way to Avenue Barber Shop. I wanted shredded beef tacos but couldn't get them without cilantro so I chose shredded beef enchiladas (with an $8!) side of chips and salsa. My wife ordered scrambled eggs, bacon and home fries. She requested soft eggs, as she always does because too many places overcook them. The chips and salsa arrived. I was immediately disappointed. The menu said "we make our own chips." They were thick and yellow and appeared to be run-of-the-mill, out-of-a-bag chips. I prefer the thin white ones. I took one bite of salsa, and that was one bite too many. Cumin. I pushed it all aside. Cumin doesn't belong in salsa. (Sorry. I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley.) My enchiladas came with black beans, and there was cumin in them. Cumin is overused and abused in most restaurants. I couldn't eat them. The rice was good but the chipotle sauce on the enchiladas was not. I scraped most of the sauce off and ate one enchilada, mainly because I just needed something in my stomach. We were still 45 miles from home. I pushed my plate away. I also ordered coffee. One sip of that was all I could stand. Too weak for me. It gets worse, much worse. My wife's eggs were barely cooked. She asked the waiter for some cooked eggs. He took her plate and returned about four minutes later. The eggs were still not cooked. She tried another bite but couldn't eat them. Her bacon was tough as a boot and not chewable. The home fries were average, but by the time her plate arrived at our table for the second time, they were cold. I pulled my card out waiting for our excellent server to return. He asked how everything was (he had to notice two plates still covered with food) and we politely told him. I ate one enchilada and some rice. My wife had two bites of egg and two bites of potato. He apologized and handed me the check. $65. Nothing comped and nothing adjusted. A manager should've been summoned. How does a place like this have any customers? It was our first and last visit.

It's a small space, with only around eight tables and a tiny kitchen behind the counter. It's a bit hard to locate from outside. There's no big sign on the window indicating the restaurant's name, just a plastic A-frame sign outside the building's doors. When I got there, four of the eight tables were empty but the dirty dishes had not yet been cleared. It took close to 10 minutes for the tables to be bused. Because the kitchen is so small, I'd recommend going up to the counter to order as soon as you get there. I believe you can also place your order online using the QR code on the table, but I didn't try that method.
