    Breakfast Burrito (with a side of Chipotle Mayo and Pickled Jalepenos)
    Zhao C.

    We came here for a group brunch, and the vibes were wonderful! We had a big table out in the patio and our waitress Geri was beyond exceptional! Right from the beginning, she was extremely friendly and made us feel so welcomed -- she ended up surprising our whole group with 3 bottles of complimentary mimosa! Just know if you ever get her, it's about to be a damn, good time. Talk about service! :) I ordered the Breakfast Burrito with turkey bacon (requested that they put it in the burrito vs. on the side) with a side of the pickled jalapeños. Portion sizes are on the smaller side as a heads-up, but I enjoyed the hash brown crunch with every bite. The chipotle mayo sauce was a delicious pairing, so I recommend getting that on the side!

    Service was AMAZING 10/10 Geri was great! Super sweet and attentive (: The food was really good: the pancakes FIRE

    I have heard wonderful things from friends about this place and so glad I finally came to give it a try. The Smoked salmon Benny was so good and I was glad I ordered it. The smoked salmon was good paired with their hollandaise sauce and the serving was perfect. I felt like the breakfast was not greasy (like you can get at other places) and this plate was well balanced. I could not decide between the greens or the hashbrown so I decided to get the greens with a side of hashbrowns. The greens were quite literally thrown greens on a plate. Not dressed up, just added for the presentation. Hashbrowns: These were nothing special. I would say if you don't want greens you can switch them out, but they are not worth a whole side order. I just wouldn't say they were anything special compared to what you can probably buy at the store or make at home. I forgot the name of the sandwich, but it was also subpar. Again nothing I would not and could not make at home. Blue matcha and Lavendar: I got the iced and hot blue matcha and Lavendar because why not! If I came back for anything, I would absolutely come back for these drinks. I can't say if it's better hot or cold, but I highly suggest if looking for a drink on this menu. I also must say their plating was a job well done and made these picture perfect food photos. As for staff, I think staff was friendly and helpful as a first timer. Ambiance was also really cute when considering a brunch spot. I would bring my family here or a time with friends. That said, I think this is where the restaurant really executed. The ambiance was sweet so you are going for the experience. All that said, if I came back it would likely be for drinks. I thought it was okay and the food can be improved. There was not anything spectacular that jumped out at me in terms of flavor, considering the hype I heard about this place. It could have been that I had higher expectations, or maybe just what I ordered. Overall if you're looking for a hang out, I think this spot does the job.

    Yelp friends visited Citizen's All Day and shared while service was sub-optimal that the food was good. Since I was within one block of Citizen's All Day, I decided to purchase a complement to my coffee. I purchased the cheese biscuit, which was fluffy, spice and herb laden and laced with all sorts cheesyness. I was very pleased with my cheese biscuit. Citizen's All Day has a cool and funky vibe. It a convergence of a I Love Lucy set meets ice cream diner. The blue and white striped interior promotes a friendly and inviting persona. The light blue exterior is eye-catching and pulls you in from Burnet Road. Enjoyed my dining experience...

    Okay. This place is adorable. And I want to come back for brunch one day! A girlfriend and I met here for dinner. Solid menu. I got the fried chicken sandwich. She got the burger and a side chili spice fries. And 2 espresso martinis off their happy hour menu... for $1! I'm not a martini girl, but I enjoyed sipping on mine. I want to come back and try more. Especially their coffee!

    I didn't realize I had Citizen's bookmarked for a while, but I did, and I finally had a chance to have brunch here last weekend! With a location that's pretty central in Austin, it is easy to get to, and plenty of free street parking. If the weather is nice, sitting out on the patio is perfect. When I had brunch with my bf, we each got drinks and an entree for ourselves for brunch. I got the blue matcha & lavender latte, which had the perfect amount of sweetness! If you are sensitive to sweet lattes, it might not be a good fit, but it was the perfect amount for me! For my entree, I got the Smashing Avo Benny, which included smashed avocado, poached eggs, and hollandaise, all on top of flavorful cheddar biscuits and garnished with beet hummus. For my side, I got the greens. The wait staff was super kind and helpful too. Overall, it was an excellent experience and I am already planning to be back for brunch with a friend!

    Mimosa flight
    Angela B.

    Service definitely fell short this day. First time here and got there a few minutes late for a 9:30 am reservation. Upon entering the place and vibe was amazing, loved the vintage sinage along with the booths/bar seating. I told the gentlemen the name on the reservation and he said there was no reservation under that name. I checked the map again to make sure I wasn't in the wrong place and tried to call my friend, which failed. I asked him again, and he said no reservation under that name. When my other friend arrived and we were both confused, as I turned around to see the patio/outdoor seating, I saw the two friends already there. Told them they were sitting outside and how to get there. Walking to the outside patio we passed by the uni sex restrooms had single stalls and a shared sink area, both were well kept. Once outside we were sat with our friends. There was no silverware on the table, which wasn't a big deal at the moment. The first server came over and was pleasant taking our beverage orders. I got a drip coffee w/Cream and sugar and then the mimosa flight. She said they didn't have dragonfruit so I could do grapefruit which wasn't an option sooo double up something. About five minutes later someone came to inform me alcohol can't be served before 10 am on Sunday so I had to wait the 20 minutes. Wouldn't that be good for the staff taking the order to know and inform the guest? The coffee and mimosa came out without issue, other than the coffee did not come with cream/sugar as requested and remember, no silverware? I waited as they said they'd bring that over. And I waited, I got up to go ask and she met me with the items requested, mind you the sugar caddy was also 1/2 full. Finally got to try the coffee and it was fine. The mimosa flight was tasty, they did have dragonfruit and it was like juice. Could be dangerous. Food order went smoothly with a different person and when the food came out we still had no silverware. A friend ended up stealing silverware from nearby tables so those that needed them could eat their food. I ordered the breakfast biscut sandwich and it was tasty. Large enough size to probably feed two peeps. I don't recall someone checking on us after we got our meals until we looked to be finished. I think this was were another trade off in staff happened while trying to settle the bill. We were doing separate checks and I was the third one to pay. Had the sandwich, mimosa flight and coffee. They informed me the coffee went onto my friends bill. They were supposed to refund her (went on Sun, as of today no refund) and charge me. I was super excited to try this place as I heard great reviews however after this experience from the start to finish, there is definitely not a desire to return. Hope they are able to get the issues resolved and provide a more seamless service to future guests.

    Blueberry & Maple Pancakes
    Paayal J.

    Had a nice brunch with some friends here on a Saturday morning. Food was good, and our server was very nice. Good vibes and aesthetic throughout. Wait was roughly 25 minutes-- not bad, but could tell that they seemed understaffed. Took a while for someone to address me when I walked up to the host stand, and service was generally slow as we ordered food. Parking surprisingly easy-- decent-sized lot. We ordered a couple of different coffee drinks, which were great (highlighting the cool blue lavender matcha latte). Food was good, not great: we loved the fluffy pancakes; super different and a really nice texture. The shakshuka was ok: didn't quite expect it to be the soupy texture. The cheddar brekkie sandwich was good; would get it again. Biscuits here are definitely a must order.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Luis G.

    Citizens All Day is an easy go-to now! The breakfast burrito and the yogurt & granola were soooo good! The breakfast burrito was surprisingly light and not too heavy. The earl grey tea was actually very nice as well, so if you're looking for a warm drink option I'd do that. If you've never tried vegemite I'd recommend the flight, it's an interesting choice and worth it if you've never tried it since it gives you some different options. Parking is a bit tough given the location but there is plenty of seating. You may have to wait a bit during peak hours but not too terrible. They got some great music choices playing while you eat but not too loud where you can have a conversation with friends. Our server, Andy, was extremely friendly and gave us a great experience during our visit. Overall 5/5 experience!

    Salmon Eggs
    Esther L.

    I'm so glad I tried this place out. Originally from Australia, Austin opened up this place recently! It was delicious. The vibes inside were so fresh, fun, and innovative. There was a lot of people on a Saturday brunch, as expected, but me and my friend got seated right away. The table was a bit too small for the stuff we ordered and the table was very close to other tables, so it was loud, but I didn't mind. I really recommend the Salmon Eggs! smoked Salmon on Toast w/Avocado, Pickled Onions, and Eggs Benedict. Also comes with a side salad. The chicken salt fries were decent. I liked the Yuzu aioli! Service was very pleasant, efficient and professional. I will be coming back!

    Nitro Nutella Hazelnut Latte, Black Coffee, Churro French Toast (Highly Recommend), Fluffy Pancakes, Big Brekkie, Veg Breakfast Burrito
    Andy D.

    Citizens All Day is an awesome retro-vibe restaurant that serves amazing brunch! Came here with my friend on a Saturday morning and waited approximately 45 minutes before being seated. The restaurant definitely is a vibe, and the wait can be long. But the food/experience is worth it! My friend and I got the Big Brekkie, Vege Breakfast Burrito, Fluffy Pancakes, Churro French Toast, Black Coffee, and Nitro Nutella Hazelnut Latte. All delicious items! Citizens is known for their Fluffy Pancakes but I personally enjoyed the Churro French Toast more (I have a soft spot for French Toast). The staff here provide amazing service and are so friendly. Definitely love the vibes here. Wait times can be long but definitely recommend for fellow brunch lovers!

    Green Goddess Shakshuka
    Katharine L.

    Super cute and inviting space! My husband had the Green Goddess Shakshuka and the chai, I had the fluffy pancakes and the salted caramel nitro brew. All the food was AMAZING. Our waitress was new, so I won't knock the service- I'll check back in when we next return.

    Raw Steak Frites
    Stefanie D.

    Oh my lord it got worse. Came in for a 5pm reservation. Had to wait at the bar where we were told immediately they were out of espresso martinis...and then that was that. Never waited on or spoken to again. Got moved to a table- then waited 24 minutes for two drinks and in the meantime no one ever came to check on us or apologize or anything. Waited 32 minutes for two steak frites done medium rare- and mine was RARE just like what happened to my friend last time. This place cannot cook a steak for their life.m. The steak sauce was a cup of rock hard tar- don't even know how they got it in a ramekin. I actually couldn't get my fork into it. When I told the waiter he was flummoxed and was like what the hell- and showed the manager who literally shrugged at the host stand and went back to his cell phone as the restaurant crashed and burned around him. Food PILED up in the window, no one had drinks, the waiters are all young kids who had no idea what to do...I've seen a better situation in stress test night on Bar Rescue. Never again.

Parking is challenging as there are only paid parking options. The restaurant was very busy and it was an hour wait to be seated at a table. We were added to the wait list and of course my cell phone battery died so could not be notified. The host was understanding that I kept following up. The wait was a bit long due to weather preventing outdoor seating. They have both indoor and outdoor seating options. We were seated in the indoor dining area. The ambiance is very lively and bright for a happy vibe. Our sever was very friendly and attentive and happy to offer recommendations about the menu options. Started out with The Calm Before the Storm cocktail with smoky mezcal with bright grapefruit and lime, softened by chamomile syrup and a subtle bitters finish. Had a Smokey flavor profile that was still refreshing and complemented my meal. I ended up seeing another cocktail that looked appealing so I ordered the Paloma as well that was citrusy with fresh grapefruit slices. For food, the Breakfast Burrito was packed and flavorful with fluffy scrambled eggs, crispy hash browns, mushrooms, avocado, jalapeño, and melty cheese. The tomatillo sauce tied everything together perfectly with just the right amount of tang. The standout for me was the Steak & Egg. The seared Wagyu steak was tender and cooked beautifully, paired with a crispy hash brown and sunny egg that made every bite rich and satisfying. Even the mixed greens with anchovy dressing felt elevated instead of like an afterthought. Great atmosphere for brunch, quality ingredients, and cocktails that actually feel creative. Definitely will return for brunch at some point as the experience exceeded my expectations.

We had a large party of 12. They have a bunch of different bakery items behind the counter and a selection of omelettes, French toast and avacado. Unfortunately the cafe was not equipped to handle such a large party. We first placed our drink orders and some individuals including myself did not receive our drinks until after our food order. Many times the incorrect food would come out and they could not keep track of what everyone was ordering. They did ask for patience as they only had one cook, but I did see tables with smaller parties receiving their food in a timely manner. Even with the wait the food was still delivered in a piecemeal fashion. It would have been nice if the restaurant had done something to acknowledge our inconvenience. I started with the purple rain which was one of their specialty drinks a butterfly tea with lemon over sparking water with agava. It was quite expensive but tasted very bland to me. I also ordered a small soldier which is a baked egg wrapped with Italian prosciutto. This item was very tasty but very small. I also ordered a quiche with spinach, feta and tomato with farm fresh egg. This item was a bit more substantial compared to other items and was served with fresh tomato, but could have used a salsa. I didn't get a photo of this item. I was a bit blown away about the price point of these items because I spent nearly $35 for brunch and left still hungry. The dining experience ended up turning into an hour and a half ordeal. For these reasons, I was a bit disappointed and this spot was just not my cup of tea.

The food quality and ambiance are the only reasons this place still has my business. Unfortunately, the service is consistently poor, with one major exception. Summer is outstanding. I've had her as my server twice, and both times she delivered exactly what hospitality is supposed to look like: attentive, friendly, professional, efficient, and genuinely pleasant to interact with. She is the only server here who consistently does her job well, and it is painfully obvious by comparison. If management cares at all about customer experience, retention, or fairness--she deserves a raise, a promotion, or at the very least to not be penalized by pooled tips alongside staff who are clearly disengaged. Every other service experience I've had here has ranged from inattentive to outright unacceptable. On one visit, a server began taking my order and then abandoned the interaction mid-order to socialize with coworkers and customers, leaving me sitting there ignored. This is not an isolated incident--this is a pattern. I work in the service industry myself, so I don't say this lightly: This is a training and management failure. The staff (with the exception of Summer) appear uninterested, unmotivated, and visibly unhappy to be there, and it shows in how guests are treated. When tips are pooled, that lack of effort doesn't just hurt customers--it unfairly hurts the one employee who is actually doing excellent work. This place has too good of a vibe and too strong of a food offering to be dragged down by consistently poor service. If it weren't within walking distance of my apartment, the food alone would not be enough to keep me coming back. To be very clear: I will continue to request Summer when possible and recommend her specifically. But if the service issues continue with other staff, I will continue to reflect that honestly in future reviews. Regular customers notice patterns--and so do prospective ones reading these reviews. Management: this is fixable. Train your staff. Support your good employees. Protect the ones who are carrying your business -ISRAEL DOVE‍
