Elegant eats with extensive crepe options and special brunch items. I really wanted to order the shakshuka but they were out when we're there around 12pm. got the egg benedict with brisket instead and wow, what a special dish! The portion is managable and the side potatoes that come with it was *chefs kiss*. The beer cheddar benedict sauce was unique and very tasty. Bf got the steak and egg crepe and like it. Cappuccino looks super smooth and my orange juice was freshly squeezed, which is super rare these days. The only reason why I'm docking a star is there were some flies and space feels like it could be cleaner, the seats look quite old and used even though nothing was malfunctioning.
Absolutely adorable little cafe. It's on the first floor of the Scarborough building which did cause me some difficulty in finding it (entirely my fault there was a sign that said Scarborough Cafe). Ordered the Berry Brûlée and it was packed full of blueberries and strawberries. The fruits felt really fresh and they were nicely balanced by the sweeter raspberry jam. There was a QR code on the table to place orders which were they sent to the back. It took a while for the crepe to be brought out even though there weren't much customers in the cafe but the wait was worth the very fresh and refreshing crepe! Adorable adorable cafe and would love to come here and try out some more of their menu items!!
The Scarbrough is a beautiful spot for breakfast or lunch. It is located in the lobby of the Scarbrough building, which used to be home to the flagship Scarbrough & Sons department store and is still decorated in the Art Deco Style. Not only is it a scenic spot to spend a couple of hours, the food is surprisingly tasty. Most of the menu consists of different types of crepes, so we ordered the Goatshroom crepe and a Croque Madame. The Croque Madame was deliciously cheesy and was covered in the perfect amount of béchamel cheese. The goatshroom crepe also had good flavor, although the king trumpet mushrooms had a very rubbery texture and were slightly difficult to chew. You order using a QR code at your table, and you can sit anywhere that is not reserved. I would definitely return to the Scarbrough the next time I am craving a crepe, however I recommend reserving a table in advance if you plan to visit on the weekend, as the restaurant is not very large and fills up quickly.
Small little shop in what looks like a small lobby. We stopped by Sunday at 11am and they were out of 5 items (small menu to begin with)-- We were a little bummed because it was all the steak and brisket items. But no worries, we just got coffee and a Croissant Perdu. Service was great, it was perfect for a quick and easy morning drink and snack, but wish they had more options.
Decided to start off the weekend here with some brunch. If you've never been here, The Scarbrough is located in the lobby on 6th Street, with the entrance between Velvet Taco and Ruth's Chris Steak House. You open the door, and you're already inside. Those who live/work here might come down through the elevators. Bar seating is to the left; lounge seating elsewhere. If it's your first time here, the staff will let you know that this place is counter serve: you can either order at the counter, or scan a QR code at the table and order online. They will also hand you some physical menus to look at. We ordered the following items to try: a Croissandwich, a Brunchilada, a BLTC crepe (under savory), an unsweetened black iced tea, and a cafe au lait. Let's start with the forgetables: - The Croissandwich came with a side of roasted, seasoned potatoes, which were enjoyable. The Croissandwich itself had some type of circular flaky pastry used as the outside layers. Based on the menu name, the intention seems to have been to use a legit croissant texture. But those outer layers were not particularly flaky, nor did it have appreciable layers of buttery flavor, nor did it make a crisp, crackling, crunch sound when biting into it. Rather, it was kind of soft, as if it had absorbed some moisture. So the croissant portion was pretty lame. The inside was a bit more interesting. There were two eggs, sunny side up. There was also a generous amount of ham, plus some cheese. So the filling to bread ratio was solid. If the outer croissants had been more satisfying, and if there were something slightly acidic, like a tomato, included, I'm sure this Croissandwich would have been more memorable. - The Brunchilada seems like it was a burrito drizzled with salsa verde, rather than brunch enchiladas. I found the priorities of this item were a bit off. Taste wise, the main event was the salsa verde, but it was mostly spicy, without a particularly compelling salsa flavor (lacking the sweetness and sourness you'd expect from stewed or roasted tomatillos). For the non-salsa portion, the main character was scrambled egg (but quantity), with avocado, the pork belly carnitas, cheese, and refried beans as supporting cast members. So lots of egg, and basically uninteresting flavor combinations. (Yes it was bland and boring. Only the salsa verde was somewhat interesting, but only on the spice side). - Cafe au Lait. Well, it tasted like bitter coffee mixed with milk. I guess there was an attempt at some foam art on top, maybe. But perhaps I was expecting them make the preparation with coffee that has a flavor profile other than bitter. But then again, what do I know? I tend to drink tea, not coffee. Onto the bit more memorable: - Unsweetened Black Iced Tea: it came with a blackened roasted lime slice on top. Nice. And, it was peachy. Smooth, pleasant to inhale, thirst quenching. I'd order another. - Savory Crepe BLTC: This was pretty awesome. The crepe itself had a great texture, and held together very well. The local flies even loved it! One had the audacity to dive straight onto the crepe and start sucking through its straw. It soon died tableside, after I waved it away, and it sought to quench its thirst with condensed water left on the table. It became careless, and stopped paying attention to its surroundings, and died, crushed under a napkin. Poor thing. Anyways, the filling of the crepe was spot on. The tomato-thyme jam that was included within really pulled everything together; it was also the lightest of the three food items. Conclusion: 1. You could make a reservation on their website if you wanted to. Maybe if it gets busier, that functionality might be more useful. 2. Cafe in a lobby space. Yes, the elevators work. Yes, the unisex bathroom is down the hall through the stairwell. 3. I would suspect their crepes are on point. I'm less certain about their other dishes. Seems like their egg-based dishes lack flavor. Perhaps their fruit-based dishes have more zing to them. Also, their pork belly itself is quite good. 4. For the price, portions are filling. If the flavor was there, it'd be an even better value. 5. I didn't try the QR codes at the table. But they do bring out your order to where you've elected to sit.
I was in Austin for ACL and we wanted a quick breakfast close to our hotel. We stopped here 2 mornings in a row because it was so good. The salty dulce de leche latte is so delicious. I got the avocado toast both days because it was so good. If I ever end up back in Austin I will definitely be going again. We loved sitting outside and eating in downtown, but there were seats inside as well. The workers were so nice and recognized us the next morning and remembered our order.
The croissant sandwiches are AMAZING!!! You must try them,and add the egg! Your order off the digital menu or at the counter,very quick service. Iced lattes add coconut flavoring,WOW! Served in a mason jar! Very small place in a buildings lobby,but sufficient. Small tables spread throughout.. This is my go to everytime I'm in Austin for breakfast!
A hidden gem-- coffee shop turned speakeasy by night! Stumbled upon this spot for drinks, and really enjoyed the vibes!! Gorgeous aesthetic inside, with a pretty decent cocktail selection: classics with a bit of a twist. DJ was great, and the staff was super friendly. Worth checking it out!
I dined at The Scarbrough for brunch during my stay in Austin. It was just a short, pleasant walk from my hotel. The Scarbrough is located inside the Scarbrough Building lobby. They specialize in crepes. They have a handful of small tables as well as couch seating. You place your order at the counter then the staff brings it to you once it's ready. I ordered my go-to drink, an oat milk latte with honey and cinnamon as well as their Lox n' found croiffin. The latte was great. The Lox n' found croiffin comes with a toasted croissant roll, smoked salmon, ricotta, avocado, arugula, capers, pickled onions and dill. I added an egg for an additional charge of $2. This was a beautiful and tasty sandwich! It was very filling, too. I highly recommend checking out this unique spot! read more

The food is delicious, and the setting is unique, but the service is a bit slow. The restaurant is located in the lobby of the Scarbrough Building. 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. I ordered the lox n found, a toasted croissant roll with smoked salmon, avocado, dill ricotta, arugula, onion, and capers. The menu says it also comes with a side of roasted potatoes, but mine didn't come with that. The sandwich was delicious and filling, so I definitely didn't need them, but I do feel like I didn't get what I paid for. read more
Nice choice for a quick little breakfast. It's located inside the art deco lobby of an office building so try to avoid sitting in the center tables or you'll have workers rushing around you to reach the elevators. Loved the light and flaky croissant on my tasty ham and cheese sandwich and the Basil Caesar wrap was also deemed really good. Service was great. read more

We were looking for a brunch spot near the hotel and happened upon this super cute spot. The décor was both cute and cohesive. You are greeted with a menu and seat yourself. Staff super helpful and welcoming. The food was incredible. I recommend the savory crepes (crepe madame) and any of the drinks. It felt very European and fresh. read more

Delicious crepes and friendly service at a reasonable price! Since I've started working downtown again, I've eaten here three times now and have enjoyed it every time. My go-to is the California Club, which comes with turkey, avocado, arugula, and super crispy bacon. The Turkey Pesto is also very good. Looking forward to trying more of their menu items in the future. read more

Absolutely amazing!!!! We had the California club, Nutella with banana, power up crepe, and the huevos dias crepes and they were all absolutely amazing! My favorite crepe was definitely the California club however they where all equally delicious. The staff was extremely friendly and efficient. To drink we had a Cortado and it was very tasty. Expresso was strong and definitely did the job. Overall this place was great! The crepes were tasty, toasty, savory, and most importantly full of food! I am from los Angeles and would definitely come back to Ze' Crepes! read more

I have definitely added this to my top 5 favorite spots in ATX. You could walk right by without noticing this place, so if you're reading this, mark it on your map and make sure you stop by! The crepe brûlée was fantastic with fresh strawberries and the perfect crunch to it! Chef Marco is very personable and takes a lot of care into finding the best, most flavorful components to the crepes as well as making his drink selection top notch. My friend said he was surprised by how great the coffee is here. I'm more of a tea person and Chef Marco took the time to let me try a few if the new tea items they just brought on. I'm really excited about the "Golden Chai" which is a chai latte with turmeric and ginger. Their regular chai is great too with strong clove notes. I love Jasmine tea, and I was impressed by their steeped teas too. Wifi available making it a great place for remote work. It's quiet inside and the gold and marble hotel lobby ambiance would make a great place for a morning meeting over coffee or tea. read more
