Very nice staff, clean, always friendly. Good selection of food and drink, coffee is always fresh. Baked goods are very good, and good selection. Nice for seasonal wants and great atmosphere. Good place for socializing, working, or meeting up with a friend.

This place was a whole freaking vibe! The coffee was excellent! I literally tried 3 kinds because the first one almost made me cry. It was the Medovic Latte. I also tasted the Maple Butter Pecan Latte and Hakuna Cortado (I had a long drive home and needed it)! The food was also excellent. I ordered the breakfast sandwich. The pretzel bread I'd rate at my top 3. The sausage was homemade. If you're in Austin make sure you go! They even have an outside patio area that seats another 20 ppl or so. I could go on and on, but I stayed in Austin for 1 day and ate there 2x. Enough said. Oh yeah and super clean bathrooms that are large and friendly staff.

This place is so amazing! I loved everything I got! I had a maple butter pecan latte and the lemon meringue french toast. The latte was so rich and creamy, not too sweet and the toast was THICK, rich and decadent. They had so many unique dishes. I highly recommend! Ovenbird, don't change a thing!

Came here with my girlfriend for brunch on a Saturday. The fizzy lavender lemonade was deliciously tart and you could actually taste the lavender. The maple butter pecan latte was rich, creamy, and had some nice latte art on top. We tried the duck fat potatoes with garlic butter and they were crispy and piping hot. The lemon meringue French toast was incredibly decadent, fluffy, and melt-in-your-mouth. Finally, the cider braised pork and spatzle was the best thing I've eaten in recent memory. The pork was slightly tart, deeply flavorful, and braised to perfection. The spatzle and pickled cabbage were the perfect pairing for this rich dish. Service was also friendly and prompt, and the restaurant decor is full of character. I would highly recommend coming here for brunch or lunch, especially on the weekend!

I LOVE this place! Best biscuits and gravy I've ever had, and the potato soup is soooo tasty. And those duck fat potatoes - YUM! Be sure to get the aioli to dip them in! Their pastries are always super tasty (I love the savory potato herb one), and their fresh orange juice is truly fresh - the closest thing to what I've had in Mexico that I can find stateside! Also love the housemade bread on the sandwiches, and the suuuper thick bacon. Some items can be a little pricey, but the quality of the food is so high that it's worth it. And the service is always so friendly!

Jacob had such a warm and welcoming demeanor. He treated both my friend and me with genuine kindness and went above and beyond by bringing our drinks out to us while we continued our conversation. Excellent service all around — we’ll definitely be back!

The food is expensive but spectacular and made-from-scratch with a clear attention to detail. I highly recommend their french toasts, it's truly an elevation of the dish and comes in a large portion to boot! The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is friendly and accomodating of dietary restrictions.

We’ve been to this place twice and each time is amazing. Presentation is everything and their kitchen goes above and beyond to plate it pretty. For two people it usually comes out 50-70$ so it is a little pricey for two coffees, a pastry, a sandwich, and another dish. I’ve come to expect that but it’s the experience. Whether you eat inside or outside - it’s a nice spot of have a quiet brunch and enjoy spending time with your significant other. :)
