    Gluten free menu side 2
    Gabriella G.

    What a great find! This little brunch spot was perfect for us this Sunday morning. We didn't want a long line, and the free-style here is to go place your order at the register first, then you get a number, pick up your glass to get your drinks and sit at your chosen table until the food is magically delivered in a few minutes. Perfect! We read from the varied menu es (they have 3) before going up to the register to place our order. We were there around 10:30 and there was no line, but around 11 am the line started forming, so get there early, although I have to say that it moved quick. The food arrived also fast, and it was tasty!! I enjoyed an avocado toast with egg and bacon: yum! We also ordered a steak chimichurri wrap: super juicy and delicious came with fries, and an egg spinach jalapeño with extra steak wrap that was also yummy... no complaints. Had a pleasant fun brunch and off we went to continue our Austin adventure!

    Salmon tacos with fruit
    Christie P.

    A couple of friends and I went here for dinner because one of us is gluten-free, and they have a large gluten-free menu. You order at a counter and the staff brings the food out. We each tried a different entree. I had the salmon sriracha tacos which were really good and not too spicy. One friend tried the elotes chicken tacos which she said were very spicy. The third friend tried the salmon dinner, and she really liked it. Our only issue was that the restaurant was kind of dark, especially after sunset, and needed more lighting.

    Roasted Veggie Buddha Bowl
    Kristen N.

    I ordered the Roasted Veggie Buddha Bowl, which is vegan as-is. I asked about the dressing and the person about the counter was quick to open a binder that showed all ingredients, which I appreciated. This is definitely a local spot and not very cutesy/trendy like many popular Austin places, but it's a good place for a more classic breakfast or lunch option.

    Zocalo bowl!! Yummmm!
    Nikkie H.

    Had the Zocalo Bowl and it was delicious! Fresh ingredients, generous portion and full of flavor. The service was outstanding! Love the local vibe. The ambiance is comfortable and clean. It was a quiet place and would be a great place to study/work but the lighting is terrible. Maybe little table lamps for evening dining. I'm sure it's great in the day time.

    Galaxy Fish Wrap
    Nancy B.

    Just so happened to be in the neighborhood and was looking for a place to eat and found a Galaxy Café. I had the Galaxy Fish Wrap with a side of fruit. I am so glad I got to taste this amazing wrap. I don't think there is any other wrap that can compare to this wrap. The fish was fresh and the batter was crispy and the cabbage slaw complemented it perfectly. I had it on a spinach wrap. I don't think that changes the flavor much but it made it look a little bit prettier. The fruit was pretty cool as it was not your regular fruit cup. I don't live in Austin so I won't be here often. I did say I wish they had one closer to me. I definitely would love to go back and try all of their dishes. For some reason, I got the feeling that their coffee is amazing as I saw a lot of people getting it with their lunch. The dining area was really nice and comfortable and there were all sorts of people having lunch there.

    Preferred over door dash while I was in town on a business trip. The food was really good, delivered hot and fresh, and in time. Will definitely come back if I'm ever in the Austin area.

    I must admit that I was a bit skeptical about this tiny restaurant in an older strip mall bearing…read more a big blue sign that said "Diner" on it. But I enjoy new experiences and menus with eclectic dishes. The menu had few choices for breakfast and I was unsure why it was suggested as a breakfast place. It's actually a good place to eat any time of day! The beautifully decorated patio provided the perfect welcome into their modestly decorated air conditioned restaurant and bar. When I say bar, it's more like a 1950s bar that you can sit at and have a meal at. Although drinks and meals were offered any time of day! The waitress was pleasant and helpful in suggesting add ons with my meal. But being a purist, I wanted to try it as intended. The food arrived in the normal amount of time. When I first saw my mozzarella omelette I was a little surprised! It didn't look anything like what it was described as! Oh well! I thought. Let's give it a try! My taste buds were happily amazed! Could this omelette smothered in mushroom gravy, green "pesto" and bread crumbs be the best omelette I've ever had?! The mushroom tomato gravy was so smooth! Along with the cilantro avocado topping. That tasted more like pesto, gave it the perfect zing! I had wished I the had ordered some toast to dip in the sauce. I could have done without the bread crumbs. But they were easily swept to the side. The amount of mozzarella cheese in this omelette led me to believe it was more of an omelette lasagna than a plain old omelette. This place is definitely a must if you are visiting Austin!

    My first experience here was amazing, which is why I was excited to come back for breakfast…read more Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing. I ordered the migas, and the amount of onions in the dish was overwhelming--so much so that it felt like I had ordered a plate of onions rather than migas. The masa cakes were definitely the standout item and were absolutely delicious. However, the rest of the dish fell short. The sauce was extremely rich, making it difficult to enjoy or finish the meal. That said, the restaurant itself is adorable, and our waiter was fantastic. The service and atmosphere were both great. While this breakfast wasn't a hit for me, I'll still return and stick with favorites like the fried green tomatoes and taquito salad, which were excellent during my previous visit.

    I dined at The Scarbrough for brunch during my stay in Austin. It was just a short, pleasant walk…read morefrom my hotel. The Scarbrough is located inside the Scarbrough Building lobby. They specialize in crepes. They have a handful of small tables as well as couch seating. You place your order at the counter then the staff brings it to you once it's ready. I ordered my go-to drink, an oat milk latte with honey and cinnamon as well as their Lox n' found croiffin. The latte was great. The Lox n' found croiffin comes with a toasted croissant roll, smoked salmon, ricotta, avocado, arugula, capers, pickled onions and dill. I added an egg for an additional charge of $2. This was a beautiful and tasty sandwich! It was very filling, too. I highly recommend checking out this unique spot!

    The food is delicious, and the setting is unique, but the service is a bit slow…read more The restaurant is located in the lobby of the Scarbrough Building. It's a small space, with only around eight tables and a tiny kitchen behind the counter. It's a bit hard to locate from outside. There's no big sign on the window indicating the restaurant's name, just a plastic A-frame sign outside the building's doors. When I got there, four of the eight tables were empty but the dirty dishes had not yet been cleared. It took close to 10 minutes for the tables to be bused. Because the kitchen is so small, I'd recommend going up to the counter to order as soon as you get there. I believe you can also place your order online using the QR code on the table, but I didn't try that method. I ordered the lox n found, a toasted croissant roll with smoked salmon, avocado, dill ricotta, arugula, onion, and capers. The menu says it also comes with a side of roasted potatoes, but mine didn't come with that. The sandwich was delicious and filling, so I definitely didn't need them, but I do feel like I didn't get what I paid for.

Rather just have a latte or a beer? They've got beer on tap and in the coolers for take away purchase. Cider and other bevvies as well. Going to a dinner party and want to grab a nice bottle of wine?
