8 Best Breakfast Places in Austin, Texas

When we walked into Snooze, an A.M. Eatery, the industrial retro style caught our eye, and the friendly staff made us feel welcome right away. The music added to the fun vibe, and our server, who knew the menu well, gave us great recommendations. I had the French Toast Neat with bacon and crispy hash browns, and it was an incredible meal! My youngest tried the bread pudding French toast, saying it was really tasty but very rich. Meanwhile, my wife and oldest daughter loved their coffees, mentioning they were made just right.

I went to The Village for a quick breakfast and tried their biscuits. These biscuits were soft and soaked up the gravy really well, which I loved. The gravy was tasty and just the right thickness, with sausage, peppers, and cheese mixed in perfectly.

Parking can be a bit hard to find in this area, but if the small lot in front is full, there’s a lot of street parking nearby. Overall, it was a yummy breakfast with some nice flavors!

We visited IHOP early for a quick breakfast before our flight. The restaurant had a simple, classic IHOP feel, but we were impressed by how clean it was. The staff was friendly, and the service was fast, which made our stop even better. For breakfast, we ordered the 2x2x2, a great option that includes two pancakes, two eggs, and a choice of either bacon or sausage. It was just what we needed for a quick and satisfying meal before heading to the airport.

I visited The Omelettry for breakfast with some friends on a busy Saturday morning. The restaurant offers a good variety of breakfast options, and given their name, I decided to try one of their omelettes. I ordered a ham and cheese omelette with added mushrooms, and opted for fruit (pineapple) and wheat toast instead of pancakes. The wheat toast was crispy, and the whipped butter was tasty, with jelly packets available on the table. The omelette was well-prepared with good chunks of ham, melted cheese, and flavorful mushrooms. Overall, the experience at The Omelettry was good. It offers a satisfying breakfast if you’re in the area.

The food at Waffle House is usually the same everywhere, so for me, it’s all about the service. Janet, the server, was amazing—probably the nicest one I’ve met. She was friendly, super helpful, and knew the menu really well. She made the whole experience much better. I’ll definitely come back and try the pork chops next time. I was craving them after my visit!

First Watch has become our favorite spot for breakfast after discovering it on a trip. I’ve been to First Watch locations in various cities across Texas, Oklahoma, and Florida, and each visit has been consistently positive. One standout feature is the decanter of coffee and water provided at the table, which eliminates the need for frequent refill requests. The quality of the food is always high, and I particularly enjoy that they include fresh greens with their breakfast dishes. For instance, their Egg Benedict comes with a side of greens, making it a healthy and satisfying choice.

I visited on a weekday, we were seated promptly, and our drink orders were taken quickly. Our drinks arrived within a few minutes, and shortly after, our food was served in about 5-6 minutes. I tried the Badass Bacon & Eggs, which was a standout dish. The slab bacon was thick, perfectly cooked, and a new experience for me. The eggs were cooked just as I requested, and the wheat toast was nicely toasted. The plate also came with a hash brown casserole and smoked tomato salsa, adding extra flavor to the meal.

The food was fantastic. We tried the hash, cinnamon roll French toast, and a bagel sandwich, and everything was amazing. Although there was a bit of a wait while they prepared our order, the experience was enjoyable thanks to a charming outdoor seating area with a small playground and some kids’ toys. The guys were incredibly friendly and made the visit even better. We’ll definitely be coming back soon!
