Counter Cafe 603 West 29th Street, Austin, TX 78705

"Lucked onto this singularly authentic spot while visiting solo and was surprised by the creative menu, excellent service, outstanding food and selection. Hot was HOT. Cold cold. Fresh foods, many locally sourced, made and served promptly. Watching the chefs and staff was pure delight ~ a superb dance. Will recommend and return. I had Southern Poached Eggs ~ 2 served over excellent cheese grits and perfect collards. Fresh squeezed OJ. Very good coffee. Others’ entrees looked great. I could eat the menu."

"It was my girlfriend's birthday and we came here for the first-time. Excellent food, service, and music"

"Wife and I went here for breakfast. The coffee was excellent, mimosas were tasty, but the food was some of the best breakfast we've had in years. The red quinoa and cream with fruit was delicious, and the Joe's special with eggs, sausage, spinach and potatoes was out of this world. Highly recommend, and we'll be going back again."

"My son and I enjoyed our breakfast here. I had G.F. options, the waitress was so polite, great atmosphere."

"Stopped in at Counter Cafe today for a bite. I had the biscuits and sausage gravy with a side of scrambled eggs made to perfection. The gravy was okay, filling but not sausage gravy. Kevin waited on me and was very attentive. I said at the bar and watched all the food being prepared in front of me. The Counter Benedict looks really delicious made with two poached eggs, seared pastrami, homemade biscuit, hollandaise, and breakfast potatoes on the side. I highly recommend this restaurant and will be returning for the Counter Benedict."
