This place has a really nice vibe that gives diner but more groovy and natural and modern. I love breakfast all day so I was excited to see what the Australians had to offer! I had a green goddess shakshuka which was presented beautifully but lacking in flavor and didn't quite feel worth the price. I didn't really feel full after eating it either. My husband had the banana bread French toast, which was really tasty and definitely one of the highlights on the menu. My sister-in-law had the eggs Benedict, which she liked, but felt that the biscuit that is supposed supposedly housemade fell a little flat. We liked the blue lavender Matcha, go a little sweet for my taste. I would likely come back again and try something different. Just because I really liked the vibe, but I wouldn't get the shakshuka again. At the end of your meal, you also put a coin in to some selected charities that they have out front that they will donate some money too, which is a nice gesture. read more

Food and service were top notch! Nate and Austin took great care of us. Will be back.

I stopped in for a quick coffee and maybe a pastry. I ended up staying for a complete brunch. I had two poached eggs, sourdough, and I added some smoked salmon. I also had a cappuccino. When I was sampling everything, I just couldn't help but smile so big that a waiter who was walking by stopped and asked me if everything was all right. I told him that I was just so happy I couldn't help but smile. I was sitting at the bar, and noticed that Dani kept everything running very smoothly. My cappuccino had such a nice creamy, yet thick top on it, that each time I took a big slurp of it, the whole thing just miraculously settled back out on top so you could see the leaf formation all the way to the end. I had never seen anything like it. The poached eggs were the best poached eggs I had ever had. I can't wait to come back again. read more

Natan was a great server! We ate a delicious breakfast of chicken and waffles as well as several beverages, including a blue matcha lavender latte, oatmeal latte, a sample of yummy fluffy juices-- I can't wait to try in a mimosa, and a fluffy Paloma. Wow! Plus the atmosphere and decor are cozy and fun! Looking forward to our next visit! Sincerely, Naomi read more

This is a cool new Australian place that just opened on burnet road! The interior is well done and the vibes are good (although they need to turn the overhead lights down sooner, I felt like I was in Kerbey Lane with how bright it was in there). We came for dinner and the food was good, but this is probably more of a breakfast place. The drinks were fantastic! Love the whipped/fluffy drinks! I would come back just for apps and drinks. The Golden Hour was the fan favorite at our table, but the fluffy pineapple was really good too. The service was a bit odd (which is sometimes an Australian bit??) but we overall liked our server and he was funny, he just missed a few things and didn't know the menu super well. It seems the servers and managers have some misunderstandings about gluten free options that need to be ironed out. I was told the rigatoni could be made gluten free, then was told the manager said it might not be gf, so I just ordered a salad bowl to be safe. It would be great (and on brand for Australia) if they had good gf substitutions, but with the current lack of understanding I wouldn't feel comfortable eating here anytime soon if I was full celiac. read more

Visited this new Australian cafe on a busy Sunday morning, and was glad to have a reservation. My immediate takeaway was this restaurant is cute but SMALL. My friend and I had a difficult time fitting our dishes and drinks at our two person table and getting out when it was time to leave, but I understand that they are trying to maximize the amount of tables in the small space. We were quickly led to our table and greeted by our server, who consistently came to check on us. My friend ordered a large drip coffee, which came with a good sized carafe, and I had to try a fluffy juice, which they infuse with nitrogen for a unique nitro coffee consistency. The strawberry pineapple glow fluffy juice was awesome, and a must try for any fellow ginger lovers. For food, I ordered the sausage & egg cheddar biscuit sandwich and split the banana & butterscotch waffles with my friend. My friend ordered the cast iron chorizo baked eggs and really liked it. The toasted focaccia was especially good, although I don't know if they make it in-house. I was disappointed in the sausage biscuit sandwich. They were able to sub eggs over easy for the scrambled eggs, which came out more like eggs over hard with no runny center. The biscuit did not come with any tomato jam as listed, and also had ingredients not listed on the menu description-- a lot of jalapeños and spinach, which made the whole biscuit taste like jalapeños even after I noticed and removed them. The cheddar-chive biscuit was good but wholly overpowered by the jalapeños. Citizen's hash browns are like McDonald's hash browns plus seasoning, and were very crispy and on the saltier side. The banana pancake does not have banana puree but is like a normal pancake with some pieces of banana in it. We liked the flavor of the banana & butterscotch pancakes and really enjoyed the carmelized banana, butterscotch sauce, and mascarpone, but thought the pancakes themselves were a little dry. Overall, I like the menu variety and aesthetics of Citizens, but think that the food itself could be better. We were also constantly batting away flies during our meal and afterwards even though we sat inside, so hoping they work on that problem. It was very easy to find parking in the lot around the cafe, which was nice. I think this place has the potential to be great, but they are not there yet. read more

The menu was extensive but the service was super slow. I highly recommend getting a reservation if you're coming here for brunch. It totally slipped our minds but luckily my friend who arrived 5 min before I did was able to snag two seats at the bar. Regardless the service was very slow. I almost thought they had forgotten my drink order cause it was about 20 min before it came out. The food took about 30 min. I got the banana bread French toast and the Troublemaker for the drink. Both were very good but I don't think it's waiting 20-30 minutes good. There are definitely many restaurants in Austin with just as good food but way faster service. I would recommend coming here when it's not busy or when you're not really hungry. It also took them 20 minutes to get our checks. If we didn't ask, they probably completely forgotten about us. read more

You are reminded about 300 times that Citizen's All Day serves Australian breakfast. Their menu in mint green and white proclaims "Dare to Dream of a Better Brekkie" This is cutesy to the point of being saccharine. More so, this is the kind of fake Australian that you get with Crocodile Dundee movies. No breakfast restaurant in Sydney or Melbourne would actually present themselves this way. If Citizens All Day was serving Texas breakfast, they would have waiters in cowboy hats and put horsies on the menu. * * * How are the breakfasts? Meh. To be fair, they serve an outstanding flat white. Flat whites are much abused in Texas with a lot of local places serving a mediocre product. Obviously, Australia gets flat whites right. London gets flat whites right. This place gets flat whites right. Things drop off after that. The drip coffee was poor. Their pancakes are thick and fluffy - which is a legitimate good point. Their flavors run towards the super-sweet. The peanut butter and chocolate version that I had was cloying and filling without being any kind of a treat. I finished mine more out of a sense of duty than pleasure. My wife had an avocado and egg plate that she picked at. In Australia, we have had sweet pancake plates and avocado-egg plates that were to die for. I don't think Citizens could stand up to the competition if they were located in Sydney. * * * Now to be fair, Australia is far away and Citizens is here. Should you go to Citizen's to get an approximation of an Australian breakfast? Frankly, most of the big breakfast chains in Austin will serve you something more or less comparable to an Australian breakfast. Snooze and Another Broken Egg Cafe are not that far off the Australian model. You do have to be willing to take a pass on the flat whites. If you want to do better than Snooze or Another Broken Egg Cafe, Cafe 1431 in Cedar Park will give you an outstanding breakfast that can beat many Australian places as well. Getting to Cedar Park is a lot less expensive than getting to Sydney And you don't have to put up with jet lag afterwards. read more

I had brunch with some friends here on July 4 after a neighborhood parade. They seemed extra festive that day. We had a bit of a wait when we walked in, but they offered us free prosecco while we waited and there was a place to order coffees and pastries at the counter. We were seated near the front door so it was a bit busy but the service was pretty quick and responsive. The whipped juice cocktail was really delicious and fresh! I had the pulled pork benedict with salad which I really enjoyed. I look forward to going back again to try more items! read more

This is 2.5 stars for average ... We had a reservation, but they won't seat you until ALL of your party has arrived (which means if 1 person in your party is stuck in traffic, you get to watch all the other people coming in after you get seated before you, then you wait until the next available table after all of your party has arrived). It's a little aggravating when 3 of the 4 in the party have arrived yet they won't seat you. Food ... out of 4 of us, 2 had dishes that were decent but the other 2 in our group had dishes that were mediocre at best. I had the Rueben which was not very tasty - it had very little meat, the rye bread did not hold together & the slaw seemed oil-based (not mayo based) - slaw shouldn't be oil based esp. if used for a Rueben which is generally made with sauerkraut. We also tried the biscuit flight which sounded good, but the biscuit was super dry or stale - not sure which. Drinks ... they were out of 1 smoothies we ordered, but the smoothies we were able to get were very tasty. Service ... to the table was decent. However, I witnessed one employee leave the restroom without washing his hands (the sinks are outside of the restrooms - note there are only 2 restrooms for staff & customersto use, so there was a line) & another employee, who was using gloves as she delivered food orders, help to clean up food from a plate that had dropped on the floor & then proceed to deliver other food orders with the same gloves on. I doubt we'll go back to this (Burnet Rd) location again. read more

I have a trip planned to Australia in a few months, so I was excited to try this new place in my neighborhood. To be expected, there was an hour wait for brunch on a Sunday, can't fault them for that. They do have a counter to order coffee or a pastry while you wait, so my friend and I got a salted caramel nitro and a blue matcha & lavender nitro and sat out back. I guess if the weather were nicer they could have also sat people out there, there's some tables and chairs and benches. Otherwise inside seating only. After about 45 minutes we checked the bar/counter seats and there were 2 open so we snagged them! Service from start to finish was attentive and friendly. Of course I had to try the vegemite sampler, only $8. We couldn't really taste anything, but maybe they were afraid to put a lot on there and people wouldn't like it. I have tried it before and a little does sure go a long way. We also ordered a fluffy juice and a fluffy cocktail, so good! I was afraid fluffy was going to mean pulpy, but it's not. We loved the blueberry maple pancakes and the chorizo breakfast burrito, perfect for sharing and not too oversized. We would definitely return, the menu is vast and offers something for everyone. read more

Super cute Aussie-inspired café! The exterior is absolutely adorable -- total Instagram spot. The inside was smaller than I expected, but still super charming with cozy decor. The miso chicken salad was decent -- nice and light if that's what you're in the mood for. The matcha latte didn't really taste like matcha -- kind of that typical light matcha flavor you often find in the U.S. I would've preferred something a bit bolder. I went around noon on a weekday and waited about 5 minutes to be seated, which wasn't bad. But it took over 30 minutes for the food to come out after ordering. So yeah... not ideal if you're short on time. ‍ Service was just average -- nothing to complain about, but nothing memorable either. Lots of parking, which is always a plus! read more

I spontaneously checked out this spot for breakfast and I was pleasantly surprised! Even though we didn't have a reservation and it was pretty packed, we were able to get seated right away and service was great. Everyone was always really attentive! The booths and decor were cute and I appreciated how unique the menu was too. I really enjoyed the nitro salted caramel latte (but wish it was bigger for the price!) My partner's matcha pineapple drink was also awesome. The food itself was pretty good but again portions didn't feel too big. So 2 plates and maybe a side to share would probably make sense if you are coming in hungry. I'll be back! read more

I brought my family from out of town to this place about a couple months after it opened since the hype was real. It was my first time, and will be my last. The whole experience was just so disappointing. It was of course packed so we had to wait for a table but there really is not much waiting area inside, I noticed flies on the bakery items that were sitting out on the counter to be served, which was pretty gross... The AC was probably not working and it was very warm especially with how packed it was inside. Ultimately it's about the food right? Well it was just, not good. I did like my hashbrowns and the fluffy juice but for the price?? No thanks. No one really enjoyed anything they ordered. Is it instagrammable? sure, but hard pass on returning since the food was just not good and pricey. read more

Enjoyed our first breakfast at Citizen All Day this morning. LOVED it. We felt very welcomed at the door and were seated very quickly. We go to breakfast once a week and are always open to new experiences. The menu options were plentiful and the food was delicious. All of the staff was very friendly and attentive. It had been years since we were in this area on Burnet and that was fun. Highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely put it in our "breakfast rotation" for future visits. read more

Came here for a Friday breakfast/brunch with a friend. All of the photos made me interested to try. Like most restaurants on Burnet parking is stiff and lots are pretty small so get in where you fit in. We were seated quickly. This is not the place for large groups, the vibe is boutique diner so tables are close and don't dare think you will have a private conversation...you're so close to each other. The ambiance is so charming and the bar is open seating so you can get the true cafe feel. The menu is overwhelming even with no pictures. I chose chicken and waffles but subbed the waffle for French toast. My fav takeaway is the buttery maple syrup. I was disappointed in the chicken portion. The meal was about $17 and it was served with a chicken cutlet. Not wings or a breast which would have made up for the price point. The tables a very small and everything is served on individual plates so it was awkward trying to manage our food. I wish the service was better. Our server was overly chatty to other tables and staff and our hot drinks sat at the pick up area so long they came to the table cold. I had to send it back and request a remake. Even then the server never checked on the drink. When our food was up I had to ask that it be brought over. We also had a burger and each a single pancake. With the sticky meals I made a request for paper towels or napkins twice that never came. I had to use salt and pepper packets in my purse because that also never came. It was not overly busy I just feel our server was not attentive and maybe not very competent. At the end we sat and waited for a check to then find while we were still sitting at the table the server started clearing and wiping our table...WHERE IS THE CHECK!!!??? Everything was more important than pleasing the customer. Outside of the bad server the food was great. I'd come back but I'd immediately ask for a different server who did less chatting and paid attention to orders up and customer needs like napkins, drink orders, and the check. read more

So i read somewhere that a cafe was going to take over the former Foxtrot location off Burnet and it was an australian inspired all day cafe. I wasn't sure what all day meant - all day breakfast? Well not quite. It's an all day restaurant and so the menu changes from breakfast (brekkie) to lunch/dinner. I think most of the reviews so far are on the breakfast menu so i wasn't sure what to expect for dinner. I came right after happy hour after 6 so i wasn't expecting them to be busy since they just announced they were opening and luckily this place is smart and hasn't invited every food influencer here so i'm hoping this place will be build up popularity organically. They seem to be positioned well for an all day neighborhood restaurant as i was scanning they have specials during the week from a Wednesday wings and wine, Thursday chicken parm, and Fridays for steak frites. The restaurant definitely has a 1970s vibes so you might feel like you are in Austin back in the time of Dazed and Confused. I liked the aesthetic allot. The staff is new and training but they did a pretty good job. Was welcomed when i came in and had the option to sit at the bar or a table. As for drink, they have cocktails as well as special fluffy / whipped cocktails. I got the fluffy pineapple margarita and loved the frothy texture of the cocktail. It was a very tasty drink. For food, I got the steak frites and for $29 i thought it was good value compared to other restaurants in town where this dish is over $30. Its also only $19 on Fridays. The steak frites came with chimchurri sauce too and aioli to dip your fries in. The steak was a meaty cut and i felt satisfied after finishing my meal. Will definitely come here again and try their breakfast; its in the area so i am excited to add this place to my rotation. Also they did a good job transforming this place from an upscale connivence store to an all day cafe. read more

I was really excited for this Australian cafe to open in austin, as someone who loves australian coffee. We admired the aesthetic and our server was sweet. After waiting 30 min for our food and coffee, we both agreed it was kinda disappointing meal. The hashbrowns and eggs were way too oily and salty. The steak was over cooked and low quality meat.

Enjoyed hearty and tasty breakfast with coffee. Amazing friendly service. The downside is potentially long wait to get a table, and a bit of a challenge to find parking in the free lot. Also, be careful what you order as some in our party did not enjoy their more exotic orders (chalk that up to "user error," but it's possible not to like it). read more
