What a surprise! I had no idea this cute little store/cafe served such an amazing cause for the community. The menu is simple but delicious and while it requires some patience and understanding with the staff you feel the warm was. I enjoyed the sweet potato crust quiche and salad. My friend had read more

We've driven by The Big Café many times and I am so sad we waited this long to visit! Everyone is so friendly and the food is DELICIOUS. I got the 3 egg omelette and my husband did their Wednesday egg salad special. Both tasted glorious and I kept trying to get more bites of my husbands sandwich. There was a citrus flavor I couldn't quite pin down, lemon thyme? I loved the shredded radish on the egg salad sandwich as well. My omelette was fluffy and stuffed with fresh veggies and bacon. When I heard about their mission to help people with different abilities it warmed my heart. Their store front is filled with so many cute items, I especially enjoyed the fragrances and the kids area. People just seem genuinely happy to be working here and even the clientele they draw in are kind. One of the patrons was telling me all about their favorite food items and how they come weekly to visit because they love The Big Cafe so much. This is a place that delivers in quality but also heart. Thanks and we'll be back soon! read more

Big heart to go along with this cafe. Great food, attractively homey decor, and above and beyond friendly service. I enjoyed my grilled cheese and tomato basil soup. Also had the yummy blackberry lemonade. Friends had the chicken salad sandwich and raved about it. The menu is simple cafe food but everything is fresh and delicious. You can visit the gift shop as well for some one-of-a-kind items! read more

This place is a gem. The food is fresh and I believe farm sourced. It's beautifully decorated and has a nice ambience. And, it supports Adults with Special needs, with the proceeds of all tips going towards scholarships and support programs. I had the quinoa salad and tomato basil soup. I was a little leery of the tomato, basil soup, which looked a little bit watery. But when I took my first spoonful, it was savory and delicious with a little bit of a kick! The quinoa salad was absolutely delicious. I was taken aback by how fresh it tasted. The service was really good too. I definitely recommend stopping by this little restaurant for a bite to eat! read more

Such an amazing place both in its mission and in services. Had breakfast at the cafe and the avocado toast was incredible! Shops have lots of really beautiful things to purchase too. This place is a must go to if you're in/around the Austin area. read more

Very cute restaurant and with a good cause. We absolutely enjoyed our time spent here chatting with the staff and eating a delicious, fresh breakfast. They have a cute boutique connected to the store and one across the parking lot as well. read more

Absolutely the coolest place! If given the opportunity please do yourself a favor and go to The BiG Cafe. Some details - The smiles on the faces of all the staff was, by far, the highlight of our visit. A very close second was the genuine service provided by all. We had a "pour over" coffee, a latte and a mocha - all were some of the best coffee experiences for each of us. We also had the avocado toast which was perfection. If you find yourself in Georgetown you owe yourself a treat - Go to The BiG Cafe. read more

Great portion, fantastic flavors, great service. Can be a little crowded and loud but great appeal with the store! Food is shareable if you are not a heavy eater. read more

Delicious food and amazing and fantastic service in the most pleasant atmosphere you could ever imagine

Café at this place is cute and small. Parking is good. The food is a good quality and usually very tasty. I'm glad that this place supports the charity that it does. It also has a very cute gift shop. read more

This is a quaint cafe we happened to walk into. Having said this, the lunch items we ordered unfortunately seemed a bit too pricey for the quality and the amount served. Advice would be to make the avocado smash on fresh sourdough slice with avocado being more than a thin application. And second item is the BIG salad, add more salad to make it substantial and filling. Implementing such small adjustments can go a long way for customers. Other than that, keep up the good work!! read more

What a gem this place is!! Light and airy, with delicious food and the best coffee we have had in ages. I had the yogurt parfait and a chai latte, and both were so good I don't know if I could order something different next time. I'm not positive, but the granola tasted like it was homemade. It was amazing. The gift store has the most stunning and unique items and it was really hard not to buy at least one of everything! It's rather expensive for my budget but I was still able to find a couple small things and feel good about supporting a great cause by shopping here. We didn't have enough time to fully explore the entire property and see the greenhouse, but we will certainly be back! read more

We absolutly love going to big for lunch or the boutique for a unique gift. The seeds of grace salad is by far my favorite salad in Georgetown. I tell everyone that. read more

Wife and I always enjoy BiG, food and shopping. Both are worth stopping in for. We almost always leave with some amazing, unique item from the shop even if we had only planned on eating :) The story and mission of BiG are amazing, inspirational, and full of joy and love. read more

What a delightful surprise! I was in the area and so happy I found this cute cafe! Initially, it feels like a modernized Cracker Barrel in terms when you first walk in- you walk into a gift shop and the cafe is off to the back. But that's where the similarities end! The decor reminds of Magnolia Cafe and the service is out of this world! The menu is limited but perfectly made, presented and executed! I'm a big avocado fan and got the Jack Sandwich with a side of tomato soup. Ya'll!!! I am craving their tomato soup days later like a hormonal pregnant lady or a crack head needing to get my fix! Their ice tea is house made hibiscus and I got their seasonal harvest pie with a side of their vanilla bean ice cream. Did I mention everything is homemade?! (By the volunteers and citizens of BiG community!) and I got their caramel apple scones to go! So good and felt like I was at grandma's house! What made the meal even more heart warming is that the proceeds from your meal and gift shop supports special needs adults and retired volunteers to give them a purpose and help them integrate in the community. I would eat here every day if I lived closer! read more

I really enjoyed this place. This is a non-profit place with proceeds going towards those with special needs. It's a very small inside but has some outside seating as well. read more

This has been one of my favorite local places for a few years now and I can't say enough about this place. It's a quaint cafe located off the side of a gift shop/store and a portion of every purchase goes directly into the charity organization that helps people with special needs/disabilities. I've seen this place absolutely bloom in the last few years and I'm so excited to see their continued improvements and expansions to come. The food is everything. It's locally sourced and made fresh and the quality is proof in every bite. My usual fav is the sweet potato encrusted quiche w bacon and cheddar, the particular day I stopped in they didn't have it and I tried the breakfast tacos and man I was so glad I did. The flour tortillas are made fresh, the green salsa was fresh, the tacos tasted fresh w great flavor and seasoning. I've tried various items throughout the years and I love that even on a routine stop in and having to try a new dish I was still surprised and left happy and full. Everyone that works here is truly kind and it shows in their genuine efforts w each other and the patrons. I could go on and on but I'll just leave this review w yes and you must go at least once. read more

Very fresh food and generous portions. Loved being served by the citizens--what a joyful purpose!

This cafe is connected to a gift shop that belongs to a non-profit that helps adults with disabilities learn work skills. The restaurant has better than average food with an interesting menu. They serve breakfast and lunch. Most items are on the lighter side. The last time I was there I had grilled cheese sandwich and a salad. About $13 with tea. Sweets are good too. read more

This is a small cafe that offers really great soups, salads, and sandwiches that are made fresh daily. They also have a few other brunch, lunch, and dessert items on the menu that are very tempting that I haven't tried yet. I've only lived in GT a short time, but I bring all my friends and visitors here. I've eaten here about four or five times and each time it has been really delicious! The tomato basil soup and the grilled cheese sandwiches are my favorites! The homemade cookies are also wonderful! Great place to come with friends to enjoy lunch after shopping in their gift shop. This is definitely one of the best little gift shops in Georgetown. Also, the Greenhouse is a great place for special events. This place is really special because it serves a higher purpose, which is supporting the lives and families of many of our Georgetown citizens with disabilities. read more

We really loved our first but not our last visit. Not many places you find that are a great little café, coffee shop, gift shop and a greenhouse....this places does a tremendous job of covering all those bases.... and helps special needs people do amazing jobs, every where we looked we saw talented artwork, pottery, food, coffee drinks and plants, and lots of friendly service. My wife and only boss left shared a great grilled cheese sammy and a salad, I didn't share my apple and cinnamon scone with a pat of cinnamon butter, we also shared a great iced coffee drink and a hot cappucino. Put this place on your radar please, you'll thank me later. read more

Cute and delicious cafe! Stopped by for breakfast. The lemon blueberry scone is one of the best I've ever had. The iced lattes were great, and so was my sweet potato crusted quiche. The location is very nicely decorated, and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. The gift shop next door is also worth a visit. Love that all tips support scholarships for adults with special needs in the Brookwood community the cafe is part of. I'll definitely be coming back soon! read more

What an amazing place! Fresh food - we had an omelette, fruit, tomato soup, and pie!!! Delicious friendly atmosphere and unique gift shop. We'll return next time we're in the area. read more

Brookwood in Georgetown is a tasty, healthy, centrally located spot in historic Georgetown, TX. Special needs adult living community together makes a place where all abled people matter and add value because of their worth. The cafe is attached to a store where many item are created by the residents, along with must have other items. Close to the Southwestern University campus, this becomes a lovely, relaxing, and tasty place for a meal with a university student during a visit. Want a small get away, this is also the place for you with its "tea room" feel, but hearty portions to satisfy the most ravenous adults. Comfort food prepared and served with grace and kindness, includes an entire wall of sunflowers to brighten any mood! All profits benefit the Brookwood Community of precious adults that live here full time. Drop in for a meal, a snack, or to shop. This place is worth the time. read more

This was a cute little cafe! Absolutely come here if you're looking for a light breakfast or lunch. Breakfast is served until 11am and then they switch over to the lunch menu. The breakfast special the day we came was a bacon omelette with spinach and feta. Lunch special was a tomato basil soup. Since it was breakfast, I ordered the omelette. It was very light and good for a mid morning brunch. I also got some tea, and it was very refreshing. They serve their drinks in a a tin thermal cup that keeps your drink cold. My sister ordered the quiche. The dish itself is cute and presentable, but she thought of it as more of an egg and sweet potato muffin rather than a quiche. Quiches typically have a crust like a pie, but this one didn't have crust. I've attached a picture of it after she's cut into it. This is a dog friendly location, so if you have your pup, you can sit at the picnic tables right outside! The cafe entrance is past the gift shop, but you can also access the cafe through the gift shop entrance. The gift shop sells a lot of cute handmade Knick knacks along with fudge and pure honey. read more

We moved to Georgetown this weekend, and were looking to pick up some lunch which is what brought me to Big Cafe. I love that they have vegetarian options. The man who took my order over the phone was very helpful and nice. My order: grilled cheese with poblano pepper soup and zoodles with a side salad. It was nice to have some healthy veggies in my food. The grilled cheese is probably one of the best that I've ever had. I prob wouldn't order the zoodles and poblano soup again. They were good but do not compare to the grilled cheese. They also have a tomato basil soup which is what I would try next time! read more
