Favorite Breakfast Spots
I love Austin Java and it's an old Austin staple in a new location. You can typically always get a table or a seta at the bar. They serve breakfast all day and have a wide variety of options and great coffee!

Cute little breakfast spot that serves it all day until 3pm. They've always got a great special, but you can also get an egg platter, flapjacks, BBQ, fried green tomatoes, sandwiches and burgers, etc.

Great place to pop into if you want to grab a coffee, craft beer or cocktail. They've always got a few food trucks parked out front serving tacos, wings or BBQ. They're open late, too and often have bands playing inside or outside.

Don't expect linen napkins here at Lucy's. It's funky Austin, for sure, but that's what makes it so great. Try the chicken basket (duh) and the baked oysters. The cocktails are very reasonably priced.

It might be more crowded than it ever was before, but I still love it and it still represents a bit of old Austin. Delicious and very reasonably priced vegetarian food. Breakfast and lunch.
