Our server was very nice and it was great service. Unfortunately, it took over an hour and a half for our food to come and we order two entrees. The food portion was so light, I had to get something else to eat after. Don't waste your time. read more

I loved the food we got at Citizens All Day! The steak frites special was a great price and cooked fabulously. The steak was topped with a generous amount herb butter and the fries were crispy and plenty salty and went really well with the aioli. I really liked the ginger beer too - it was half lemonade and super unique. Lastly, the tiramisu was amazing with mascarpone filling and topped with pistachios which added a nice crunch. Staff was nice and the restaurant was really cute with a deli area and goods you can buy! read more

the banana bread french toast was phenomenal! thanks for the great service Rita Looking forward to coming back again soon. read more

Fantastic food, cocktails, and service! Ask for Alex when you go. He was our wonderfully attentive and helpful server. Highly recommend!

We had a great experience at Citizens! Even though they were out of several menu items, our server was absolutely amazing and made the experience so enjoyable. Will was friendly, attentive, and made us feel really comfortable throughout our meal. Great customer service can make all the difference. read more

After shopping at Central market with a buddy, I treated him to breakfast at the new Citizens All Day on Burnet. It's pretty new and attractively decorated inside. Originally from Australia, this is the first one in Austin. Not sure how many there are in the United States. Service was prompt, although the coffee took an awful a long time. I ordered the Pastrami Benny which is smoked pastrami, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, on cheddar biscuits.. The smoked pastrami was very difficult to cut and chew. Not a great combination for me. The coffee was excellent, however a refill took forever. Give it a try and see what you think. read more

What a cute brunch spot! They sat us right away on a Sunday without a reservation around 9:30. The service was great!! The fluffy juice is a must(think orange julius). We got the blueberry pancakes to share which were very thick but delicious! I got the chorizo and egg bake with beans, it was just okay. But the French toast and Benedict I tried of my friends was fabulous. Overall great addition to the Austin breakfast scene. 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

Little pricy but overall good options and food is good. We tried breakfast there and it was decent.

Overpriced dinner. I felt that I was paying for ambiance. Maybe I picked the wrong thing. Had the harissa salad but replaced chicken with shrimp. The shrimps were the shitty little frozen that had just been steamed with no flavor, not the usual kind you'd expect on a saladx The flavor profile was not my fave - too spicy. It looked pretty but I basically powered thru eating it since I didn't want it to go to waste but didn't want to finish it. The juice was fine. Not sure why it need to be called fuzzy. I would not come back and would definitely never wait in a long line for this place. Maybe ppl like it for boozy Instagram brunch and sweet pancakes? No one else there seemed to be enjoying their time. It seemed like couples and families in the neighborhood who didn't care it was overpriced who were there, or ppl like me who it was there first time. The waitstaff was not engaged but not bad. The kitchen messed up my order the first time. Weird vibes. Maybe just not for me ? I don't get what people see in this place. read more

We made reservations as a Bachelorette group of 8, and the wait staff was incredible making the bride feel so special. Avery, our waitress, was so attentive and kind, Trevor the manager came to check on us multiple times, and Todd came to congratulate the bride, had amazing food recommendations (the banana French toast is a MUST) and was a great hype man. All the food was delicious, we ordered multiple juices, breakfast burritos, avo toasts, and bennies, as well as dragonfruit juice to go with champagne. read more

staff was super sweet, the Nutella hazelnut latte I got was so yum, and steak and eggs were super tasty!!

Grabbed lunch while in Austin at Citizens. I ordered a whipped cocktail because I had to find out what it was! I got a Paloma and it was very good. The texture kind of felt like a smoothie, but it tasted like a Paloma! I also got the Reuben, and it was delish! I would definitely go back and order the same thing! read more

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

Their menu is a hot mess and misnomered. I ordered the pulled pork gluten free sandwich but they've since removed it from their menu and haven't updated the menus hanging at the cashier. I ordered a gluten free smoked turkey sandwich to go, and the bartender gave me a hot honey turkey sandwich instead. I tried calling and no one picked up. I think the smoked turkey sandwich has since been renamed to turkey pesto sandwich but they haven't updated their menus. There definitely wasn't any pesto in my sandwich, just a spicy red spread. Plus there was provolone in my sandwich, and the turkey pesto didn't list any cheese in its ingredients. I don't know why the pictures have a side of potato chips with their sandwich. My sandwich didn't come with any potato chips. No one offered me a glass of water while I waited fifteen minutes with a baby. I'm not sure why I tipped 15% for lousy service. read more

Atmosphere and service here were amazing! The decor is top notch and soo cute! Our waiter, June, was amazing! They were so helpful and friendly and made our experience even better. I ordered a yummy latte and the salmon Benedict and my son got the pancakes. The biscuit was a little cold and my dish was a 4/5 but my son's pancakes were soo fluffy and delish! I also got the banana bread French toast and def recommend them! 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

I wish their smoothies were better but my chicken parm sandwich was so good and was definitely the envy of my boyfriend. Would go back there just for that but also it's a very cute place 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

Food and service was great! Had Rita as our server who was great! Great breakfast and lunch options and super nice decor and ambiance.

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

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

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

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

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

Imani is the best this place is lit and the happy hour is awesome. Service is super awesome and so is the food. highly recommended

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

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

Come all ye citizens for brunch every day until 4pm. It's a little hub of commerce with a mini-market including fresh pastries and cold-brew on-tap/to go. First explory checks out - all the classics plus indulgent details (think Banana Bread French Toast and Banana & Butterscotch Pancakes) nestled into Rosedale. I went for classic Blueberry (pancakes, of course), found them just fluffy enough, balanced with a side of slab bacon. Nitro Nutella Hazelnut Latte is OUT of this WORLD. They could shut down to focus on coffee & to-go and keep it going through another pandemic. Lucky find, will come again! 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

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. Coffee was okay. Hope they figure it out. read more

Plenty of sweet & savory options, a plethora of bevs and has a chill vibe. I had their pastrami Eggs benny which reminded me of warm biltong and the hollandaise sauce was the best I've ever had. They're still fairly new and working out some kinks, but overall it's a ''must try". read more
