“Joined the list from the car, walked in fifteen minutes later straight to a table. The green shakshuka is worth changing your weekend around.”
“Best cortado in South Austin and I will fight about it. Order-ahead means I actually get coffee before my 9am now.”
“Bright, calm, easy with a stroller. They texted the second our table opened up. This is how brunch should work.”
Before you come in.
Answers to what we hear most.
Join the no-wait listDo you take reservations?
No reservations — just the no-wait list. Add your name from your phone before you arrive and we'll text when your table's ready, usually in under fifteen minutes.
How does order-ahead pickup work?
Pick a time, build your order, and we'll text you when it's started and again when it's bagged at the pickup counter by the front window. Most orders are ready in under ten minutes.
Is brunch really served all day?
Yes — the full plates menu runs from open to close, every day. No 11am cutoff, no switching to a lunch menu.
Do you have vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options?
Plenty. Vegetarian and gluten-free dishes are marked on the menu, oat and almond milk are always on the bar, and the kitchen is happy to swap toast or skip the egg.
Are you good for working or laptops?
Mornings, absolutely — fast Wi-Fi and outlets at every seat. We ask that you wrap up laptops at shared tables during the busy weekend brunch rush so everyone gets a seat.
Where do you park, and are dogs welcome?
Free street parking on Sunhollow Lane and two blocks from the South First & Gibson stop. Leashed dogs are welcome on the patio — water bowls are already out.
