When someone claims that a restaurant has the best pastries outside of Europe, you don't just nod politely--you raise an eyebrow and prepare to judge. And Tiny Boxwoods? Oh, they absolutely deliver. It's like stepping into a chic little slice of Paris, sprinkled with Southern charm and just enough effortlessly cool, slightly snobby energy to make you feel like you've made a very good life choice by being there. The atmosphere works for everything--an easy lunch, a romantic dinner, and honestly, brunch here probably deserves its own fan club. I ordered the crab cakes off the appetizer menu, and let me tell you, they understood the assignment. Light, fresh, and flavorful--basically the perfect excuse to save room for what you're really here for: the pastries. And the pastries... wow. Not just hype--fully justified hype. Vanilla bean brioche, chocolate croissant, lemon blueberry thyme loaf--and of course, one of their famous chocolate chip cookies. Every bite felt like a tiny, delicious flex. Like, yes, I do have excellent taste, thank you for noticing. Safe to say, the bold claim doesn't just hold up--it struts. read more

Lovely experience on a grey day. We booked an outside brunch, but the weather turned chilly and damp after a week of sunshine and warm temperatures. However, "Tiny" provided my wife with a blanket, and we were protected by a high hedge on all sides. The food was wonderful, service was great, and we all warmed up in no time. Migas are my recommendation, nicely prepared with zesty seasonings. The smoked salmon avocado toast was served on a thick slice of sourdough bread; be hungry to order that, it's a meal! Don't pass up on the pastry platter! Feast today for tomorrow we diet. read more

Have been wanting to try Tinys for a while now since our family has been and loved it. The space is so cute. Very farmhouse modern chic feel to it with beautiful white finishes everywhere and white flowers and candles on the tables to add to the ambiance. Service was great. We went to celebrate NYE and the server provided recommendations for some wine to celebrate and some apps to get us started. We enjoyed the Brussels sprouts and the meat and cheese board. The meat and cheese board itself was delicious but I wished there was a bit more cheese, it had more dips and spreads as opposed to cheeses. Plenty of delicious meats however. The Brussels were to die for and came with sourdough to dip in the sauce. For mains we ordered the bolognese, chop salad, and the burger. Our friend ordered a second bolognese because it was that good! The burger and fries were good, and the chop salad was also decent. A little heavy on the dressing but overall very delicious! We decided to treat ourselves for the last day of the year with the famous Tinys à la mode cookie and ice cream and I will dream about this for the next several weeks. The warm cookie skillet paired with the ice cream and rich chocolate sauce was incredible! Guess we'll have to come back to get it again. Thanks to the Tinys crew for making our NYE and final dinner before the new year one to remember! read more

My family and I had brunch here on the weekend. We sat outside, under a tent, where fans kept us comfortable. The restaurant was charming and the service friendly and prompt. The prices were at the upper end of the midrange, which is commensurate with the experience. Food tasted fresh and homemade, fitting the restaurant's farm to table theme. I'd definitely take people here again for a more special brunch experience. read more

Such a cute little neighborhood spot! I can definitely see this space being booked for a small rehearsal lunch/dinner or even the morning after breakfast/brunch. Anyway, my husband booked a breakfast for me and our kids last Sunday and we were so pleasantly treated by our waitstaff. Full bar. Outdoor space. Such a special experience for my little one in picking a pastry plate. Every item off the menu was made to order and delicious. The front of house team were very attentive and accommodating to my two toddlers and for that, I can't recommend them to other families enough! Breakfast food items are always a hit for children and my husband so we gobbled up a lot pretty quickly. Drinks were good. We had 9:30 reservations and they got steadily busier throughout the morning. Overall, the intimate but lively setting really set us up for a wonderful day. read more

Beautiful spot for brunch! It was so nice to sit outside on a nice day. I got the migas without carnitas, and they offered to substitute it with avocado. It was really good! Would definitely go back and make a stop for some cookies after :) read more

Tiny Boxwoods - Migas with avocado instead of carnitas - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Austin, Texas

Really awesome vibe at this North Central Austin spot! Very kind and attentive service, and food really was/should have been phenomenal! The main reason for 3 stars is that both of our dishes came with undercooked proteins, and Tiny Boxwoods had a difficult time admitting to or remedying that fact. We got the Day's Catch and the Black & Bleu, and while stunning in presentation, and even delicious upon first bite, it quickly became clear that the middle of Filet was beyond rare (we had asked for medium rare), and the middle of the fish was under enough that we couldn't cut through it easily. The server did end up taking the dishes back, but it was somewhat begrudging. I have a lot experience both cooking dishes like this and dining out, and the last thing I want to be is difficult! Not exactly sure what the best solution would have been, but this spoiled the fact that everything else about the restaurant/experience was beautiful, and it could easily have gotten 5 stars from me. I will be back to try again! read more

My wife was enjoying an u usually cool night and said, "Let's go to Tiny Boxwoods and have the wood fired artichoke hearts." Great idea! Outdoor seating and a cozy setting. Service was fantastic, as it always is. Thanks, Andrew! A friendly caring server. The food is always well prepare prepared, timely served, and well-plated. Artichoke hearts, oh my, great dish. Crab cake appetizer delicious. What was my wildflower?Watercolor entree is a must try, crab meat me one and grilled shrimp. Latte for dessert. Andrew, see (photo) was a wonderfully kind, genuine server. My wife is now 2 years cancer free so part of our dinner was to celebrate that occasion at great milestone. Andrew brought a glass of bubbles on the house. One of the managers, Luis, came by too. So friendly and engaging. Thanks guys for being part of a wonderful evening. read more

YEPPPP! Great place to celebrate an occasion which we did. Nora was a TERRIFIC server Our daughter's 32nd B'Day Lots of food options as we were brunching, the menu includes lunch options i.e. a 4 layer Club Sandwich, a burger . We started with a BISCUIT BOARD~ one of my absolute fav breakfast foods of all times is a BISCUIT (these didn't disappoint) with honey butter & homemade strawberry jam a pastry board is also on the menu....thats gonna be ordered on my next visit also the artichoke ~ now this was quite different that we expected, it's more like a dip with pesto and artichoke pieces, served with 2 very large pieces of grilled bread. I am not a pesto fan, but this wasn't bad at all~ would I order it again, depends who I am with however with so many additional options most likely I would try something new. Our main dishes included, CRAB CAKES, the Goat cheese salad, pancakes & a Club Sandwich. Our daughter shared one of her Crab cakes with me for my Goat Cheese salad with made a lovely addition as the salad was perfectly lightly dressed. The pancakes are huge and looked possibly the BEST looking pancakes I have ever seen, served golden brown with sliced apples on the side. The Club is bigger than a triple decker!!! Certainly could be shared or take one of the bread slices out to make it less carby. All food is made in-house, fresh nothing was a disappointment, granted something might not have been a favorite but that doesn't make it bad This could be a regular stop for me as the ambience is right up my alley PLUS I would feel comfortable going alone for a coffee, lite bite & a book. read more

Cute place in central Austin with airy bright interior and some exterior seating. It has a casual fancy vibe and where you'd imagine you'd find soccer moms lunching. Try the fresh baked cookies when they have those available. Dropped in here for a quick breakfast and it didn't disappoint (but it was also not exactly cheap for brunch). Service was attentive without being overbearing and very very nice. I would recommend reservations here if possible since they can get pretty busy. read more

I was lucky to get a parking spot right in front for Sunday brunch. The parking lot is very small and a market was taking up half of it. They do offer valet. We sat outside and it was a beautiful day. It is a very relaxing garden atmosphere that is so unlike most places in Austin. It felt more like an east coast beach town than anything else. It was hard to choose, but felt like a sandwich and took the waiter's advice to get sweet potato waffle fries. There's a little bakery next door and we got sown treats to go. Overall amazing experience and would come again. read more

I came here for lunch yesterday and had a wonderful time! Tiny Boxwoods is such a charming and classic restaurant. The ambiance feels like a cozy cabin, with the fireplace going and the pretty patio with a classy backyard feel. There is parking onsite but it fills up quickly. Thankfully there is street parking nearby. Our server Tristian was a sweetheart and recommended some great drinks. I started with the South Congress 75 which is just a twist on a French 75. All cocktails are $15 each across the board. I ended my meal with the chai cocktail which surprisingly did not taste like it was described, nonetheless it was still refreshing. For lunch I ordered the Crab Cake Benedict which came with house potatoes. The crab cakes were a bit too firm and not very fresh. The potatoes were the star of my plate!! so delicious and crispy. Bacon was standard and the biscuit was too firm and needed to be warmer when served. My meal overall was consistent and tasted good, portions were nice. The lunch menu needs a bit more variety in my opinion. I would love to come back and try the dinner menu the scallops sounded great but the don't serve it during lunch. read more

Finally was able to check this place out. Didn't have a reservation for Saturday breakfast and was able to get seated right away at the bar. I will say their parking lot isn't the biggest and it can get super busy so do recommend coming earlier. We ordered the seasonal pancakes and the turkey club with sweet potato fries. Also an iced vanilla latte. The pancakes themselves were very well made but I wish they had more options like chocolate chip, blueberries, etc. instead of just the fruit compote that came with it. Turkey club was solid and a good portion especially with the sweet potato fries. Only critique was that the fries were a little salty and you could see all the big salt flakes on top. The coffee was okay, a little too milky when I prefer a stronger coffee flavor. Service was great and very attentive, especially since we were sitting at the bar. The food did take awhile to come out but we didn't mind. Ambiance is super cute and cozy. Great little spot for a small group of people. read more

Delicious food in a relaxing, pretty setting. We had lunch outside on the terrace (December in Texas!). The turkey club is a favorite. And if you are indulging in a cocktail, I highly recommend the Downtown Greyhound! One of the more delicious cocktails I have had in a while. Excellent service as well. read more

I came here with a large group with on a weekend. The waitress was really helpful and accommodated all of our questions and requests. The interior was very cute, made me feel like I was inside a cozy cabin or greenhouse. I loved the biscuit platter. The biscuits were very flakey and loved it with the butter and jam. I didn't love the grits on my breakfast plate but everything else was good. read more

Tiny Boxwoods - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Austin, Texas

Nestled within its Bryker Woods niche, one would think (as I did) that the food would live up to its promise of deliciousness given the local hype, or the setting would make up for an unwelcoming distracted host, or the trio of scallops on seasonal mushroom risotto would be carefully cleaned of grit, or the after-dinner coffee would be fresh and served when expected with dessert. I really wanted my first dining experience at this restaurant to impress me. Although this time proved there is plenty of room for improvement, perhaps it was an off night? Here's until next time! read more

Ever since I discovered Tiny Boxwoods, I have been a frequent visitor at Milk & Cookies. I am so addicted to their chocolate chip cookies that I keep a box of the dough in my freezer at all times. I finally decided to give Tiny Boxwoods a chance and I am glad that I did. The restaurant is still just as cute as ever, the staff was wonderful and we enjoyed our mimosas, crab cake benedicts and the grits. read more

Wow!! What a delightful experience dinner at Tiny Boxwoods was! The ambience and decor is so cozy, perfect for a cold night! Our waiter(I wish I could remember his name but he was a young blonde man), was so nice and attentive without being too much, and so helpful when picking out plates. I got the burger with a caesar salad, my mom got the chicken. Both were faaantastic! I mean the bun was so soft and there was a great amount of cheese and freshly made pickles just sent it over the top. Then dessert.... I mean WOW! Of course the chocolate chip cookie made me tear up but the apple crumble dessert too! We ate both and licked the plates. Here's what made me write this review: they give you postcards! To send to your friends! I just felt so happy that I could do something so charming and thoughtful, and I wasn't even doing anything! Tiny boxwoods has my heart! read more

Stumbled upon this place for Galentines- lovely ambiance. It's cozy but upscale and the staff were incredibly friendly. We sat outside and they even offered blankets since it was chilly to keep us warm. Got a margarita pizza, bread plate and truffle Mac and cheese. Bread was a little tough to choose but still good. I enjoyed the Mac and cheese which says a lot because I usually find it very bland and tasteless. Finally, really enjoyed the thin crust pizza. Definitely on the pricier side so a great spot to celebrate a special occasion or date night read more

I placed a to-go order today and arrived 5 minutes before the pick up time to ensure my food was of the highest quality.

We SO enjoyed meeting friends in this really nice gathering place for lunch. Lots of windows, so lots of sunshine. Hubby and I both got the Avacado Turkey sandwich... mine with fruit and his with fries. There was SO much, we both took home the second half of our sandwiches. Service was good. The ONLY issue was the air conditioner constantly dripping on our friend's forehead. Tip: DON'T sit at the table in the middle of the room. When called to the attention of one of the wait staff, they already knew about the issue. Move the table! read more

Just returned from breakfast with my family and was so impressed by Tiny Boxwoods! We shared the pastry board and each was delicious. I had the mother's breakfast, which was very simple, but so well done. The eggs, sausage, and grits were all perfectly cooked: eggs tender and fluffy, sausage crisped wonderfully, and the grits cheesy and creamy! My family was equally impressed with their food. The service was good, too, everyone friendly and attentive. Tiny Boxwoods feels upscale but not uncomfortable. Great if you want outdoor or indoor seating. I hope to be back on my next trip to Austin! read more

I have been to Tinys cookies many times and finally got to come to the Boxwoods restaurant for a birthday! The interiors are super cute, it feels like being inside a Nancy Meyers movie. Service was very fast and the waitresses here were super sweet to accommodate our birthday requests. The food here is more like American Brunch. We got biscuits to share and I got the breakfast sandwich with potatoes. The croissant for the sandwich was very flaky but a bit oily and I wish the potatoes were warmer since they were already cold. The biscuits were really good though and the house jam was great. All in all a good breakfast spot for any weekend for a nicer event! read more

Everyone of us think the place is great and hope to return. The food is very good and the wait staff (we have only had Austin as a server) is engaging, polite and knowledgeable. We specifically asked to be seated in his service area. We were seated outside both times and the atmosphere and music is great. Thanks Austin...we will see you again!

Tiny Boxwoods is a cool little intimate spot to grab brunch or dinner. We had reservations for Sunday brunch. The interior and decor reminded me that of a house with modern decor. The tables felt very cramped for the four of us. We got the artisan biscuit board to share. The biscuits were very delicious, homemade, and big. It came with butter and a homemade jam that went great on the biscuits. For my main dish I got the steak and eggs. They have a small but delicious brunch menu. Put this on your list of places to get brunch in Austin. read more

Excellent. Outdoor seating area was lovely. The food is fresh and delicious. A must try. Don't forget the bakery items.

A very nice restaurant to grab brunch on the weekend. Tiny Boxwood is tucked away from busy streets and freeway and you can enjoy the nice outdoor area during brunch! We ordered the pastry platter as an appetizer and that was the most amazing part of our meal! Everyone was baked fresh and wasn't overly sweet. As for the meal we ordered the burger and beet veggie burger. The burger was good the beet burger was okay both were nothing special though. read more

Love this place! Came here a few times and it always hits. The Black and Blue (steak and blue cheese) risotto was so so good! Blue cheese was not over powering and complimented the steak perfectly. We also stopped in a different time to have the charcuterie board and had a couple drinks one afternoon. Each time we've went, the food and drinks were so good and service was phenomenal! Highly recommend. Will have to stop by to get their brunch very soon! P.S. the bartenders make a mean vodka martini but give their craft cocktails a go as well! read more

Went for brunch on a Saturday -- reservations required if you want to avoid a long wait for outside seating, but we got a spot at the bar immediately and had great service.

The crab Benedict was also fabulous. Next time we will get the pastry board - wow did it look good! read more
