So incredibly delicious ! A must stop when you are in the area . Check the hours and days open !

Lady Bird Lane Cafe is such a fantastic little spot to grab lunch when we are out exploring Johnson City. They focus on really fresh, organic ingredients, and their grilled sandwiches and tomato basil soup are always completely delicious. Brian and I love that we can grab a table outside on the patio and just relax in the beautiful Hill Country weather. The staff is incredibly friendly and always goes out of their way to make you feel right at home. It is exactly the kind of cozy, laid-back local business you hope to stumble upon. read more

We were traveling through this area and needed a place to stop. This is a very small café and I think they were short staffed that day. The food was good and staff was very friendly. read more

Small cafe and friendly staff. I was a little disappointed that they were running behind in opening and took a bit longer to get my order. I ordered the Bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, and cheese sandwich. It came on focaccia bread. I wasn't a fan of the sandwich. The bread was nice and thick, but it didn't allow the sandwich fillings to be appreciated. It came with a side of tortilla chips and some sweet pickles. I don't care for tortilla chips unless I have something to dip them in. The pickles were the star of the show. I absolutely loved them, and would buy a jar of them Next time I am in town. read more

Went here today after reading yelp recommendations and it was great we had the Texas chili and Texas BLT. Chili was tasty and a nice bowl with onion and cheese. The BLT was packed full of bacon on great bread with tortilla chips. It's right next science mill but worth the stop. Easy to find but parking is limited. Great lunch on the patio today read more

Excellent Tomato Basil soup! Also had the Texas BLT and my goodness it had a lot of bacon on it! Yummmy! We will be back. read more

This is a sweet little place and serves wonderful sandwiches. And the homemade pickles are the best I have ever tasted.

Great cafe with very good, fresh food. Service was excellent. We ate outside and enjoyed the setting.

Part of our experience at the Science Mill -- a nice day from San Antonio -- is a lunch break at the café. We can count on fresh, healthy, local food, including simply prepared foods that the kids will like. On a recent visit, the salad incorporated fresh local peaches. The café is accessible from inside the Science Mill as well as from the street -- Lady Bird Lane. There are two interior seating areas and one outside patio. The iced tea is nice and strong to keep you awake on the drive home to San Antonio. read more

This place is absolutely adorable! Recently, our students went on a field trip to the Science Mill and as a last minute chaperone, I didn't pack a lunch. Luckily, this cafe is adjacent/part of the Science Mill (which I also recommend for a day of fun if you have elementary-middle school aged children). The service is friendly and the menu is filled with fresh food options. They also have a specials board next to the register with seasonal favorites. I would say the only downside is probably the wait. I waited close to 30 minutes for my sandwiches and flatbread. If I wasn't on a field trip, time wouldn't have been such an issue but we were on a tight schedule. Some tips for next time (since it was such a fun time, there hopefully will be a next time): order the food at the counter inside the science mill. I could have probably asked about how long it would have taken and then checked back to pick up the food when it was ready. The food was great! Very fresh and again, if we weren't on a field trip, I would have really ordered way more food because everything sounded delicious. For ease of eating and wrangling children, my co-workers and I got sandwiches. I got the German: rye bread, sauerkraut, ham, mustard and Swiss cheese. So delicious! It came with chips and a delicious squash pickle. I forgot what my co-worker ordered, but he inhaled it so I assumed it was delicious. We also got a flatbread pepperoni and it looked delicious. However, it was large and very appealing to the children so our other co-worker did not eat it and took it home. In the end, this delicious food offered a nice relaxing bit of adult time during our 6th grade field trip and it was absolutely wonderful! read more

It's tiny but surprisingly delicious!! We came here after a tour of Johnson ranch. What a fun area!! Get the tomato soup and grilled cheese! The gentleman working 2/3. Was so sweet and happy! I'll come again read more

I stopped by for a late lunch and coffee, and my the spinach and pear salad was delicious. Thanks much! Feeling fortified. This lovely little cafe is next to Science Mill and a stone's throw from the Lyndon B. Johnson Boyhood Home. That's for when you need a walk after your scrumptious lunch ... read more

Simple menu in a small location. Their menu changes daily so don't rely on anything posted online.

Glad we took Daniel's recommendation ( at Vinovium) Fantastic food, great staff and a go to stop to pick up sandwiches for lunch at the Vinovium vineyard tasting. read more

My dads rule is to never eat lunch at a place hat doesn't serve alcohol, but my new rule is that Lady Bird Lane Cafe is a big ole exception. Dads aren't always right. This place has a bit of everything that you expect in a small town. First, it's a cafe, that comes with a ton of charm. They have a cute patio overlooking the science museum next door, which is perfect for a breezy Texas day. They also have a bunch of Texas food. The frito pie was amazing and thank the Lonestar state that the chili didn't have beans in it. BEANS DO NOT BELONG IN CHILI. FIGHT ME. The guy working the cash register was a delight. He was Southern to his core and had the friendliest demeanor. It was the icing on the Johnson City cake. read more

Not what I was excepting but the food was good. It is a tiny place with only 4 tables on the inside and a few under an awning outside. The man who took our order was nice. It is lunch spot. read more

We've stopped here a few times on the way to Fredericksburg. The food seems a little unique but good. The people that work here are welcoming and accommodating. My kids like the food and that's a big plus! read more

A literal hole-in-the-wall place! What a delightful little no-frills cafe! The menu is small, but everything is fresh and genuinely home made. My only complaint is that the iced tea wasn't great. Everything else was spot on! It's tiny and only seats about 10-15 people inside--max! There is covered outdoor seating that I didn't check out because it was summer in Texas! read more

What a great stop! We were driving from Austin to Kerrvile but just needed a "little" something to eat. We drove by this place but it looked interesting so we turned around and went back. We definitely were not sorry. It's cute. The menu wasn't large but actually perfect sized. The man behind the counter was very pleasant. There were three of us and between us we ordered sandwiches and salads. We were all happy with our lunch and glad we stopped. We would definitely stop again. Loved the place! read more

Loved this place! Stopped in for a late lunch after hiking and swimming and I was starving. They did not disappoint! I was all set to order the bacon, avocado and havarti sandwich, and then Al pointed out the daily specials. This made my original choice difficult because there was a watermelon, feta and Kalmata olive salad. So I got both and took the leftovers home. This will now be my lunch spot after hiking! read more

Met girlfriends here for lunch, we each had something different, and it was all absolutely wonderful!

OMG...Bowl of Texas Red with a grilled cheese sammich... Wife had a Frito Pie... Sweetest staff ever...we'll be back. read more

Second time at this place and I have to say, they are absolutely doing something right! Best chili I've ever had and all the other dishes are delicious too! Definitely try their grilled pimento cheese sandwich! They do have daily specials as well and if you get a chance to try their vegetable lasagna, you will surely be glad you did! Also the tea here is brewed strong (which is how I think tea should be) and it's so good! If you're ever in Johnson City, definitely try this place out! The staff is super sweet and friendly too! read more

Cute and quaint! Al provided great service and his wife served up delicious food! Stopped on the way to Fredericksburg and made my tummy happy! I had the Turkey Sandwich Stack and thoroughly enjoyed it. I will definitely come back again! read more

I ordered the house special - peach salad with chicken added. I look forwarded to the local peaches and, unfortunately, they were far from ripe. The grilled chicken was definitely frozen and had poor quality. The greens were not rinsed and tasted dirt at times. I grew up in the area and know this is not the usual for many cafes. As a plus, the service from the cashier was friendly, as expected in TX Hill Country. read more

I've been eating ham and cheese sandwiches since before I could remember. This German Ham & Cheese Griller was the top of sandwich making expertise I've ever experienced. 5 stars is not enough to describe this perfection. I tip my hat to you Lady Bird Lane Cafe. read more

A terrific little place to eat in Johnson City! Pick up a jar if pickled squash whine you are there. Its awesome!!!

Great fresh made recipes. The best lunch spot in town. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Delicious, healthy options right in the Science Mill. Fresh and delicious. The Cafe has 2 sides, there are tables inside the Mill right next to the padded play pit for the under 3 and under crowd. Worked great as the pack of kids kept jumping up and exploring the maze wall, snack a bit, build and race your own car, snack... much easier. The staff are super nice. read more

Loved this little cafe! Happy to see a vegan option on the menu! Spinach and blueberry salad was delicious! Will definitely be back!

Only had one cook and one cashier/bus boy. They were slammed and I was expecting to not be impressed. Food took 12 minutes and the kids devoured their hot dog and I my salad. Was very impressed with the cleanliness and food. Good job. I wasn't expecting to be writing a decent review read more

Stopped by a quaint little cafe in Johnson City. Restaurant was very clean and a very friendly staff. The menu was unique. The fresh texas peach salad was refreshing and very full of flavor. Will definitely stop in again. read more

A charming place to grab a sandwich, salad, or flatbread with a gourmet twist. The gentleman at the counter makes you feel at home. Nice place to stop and grab a bite if you are in the mood for "home grown" hospitality and food. read more

What a treasure. They are a farm to table establishment. The food is thoughtfully prepared, well presented and tastes fantastic. I will crave Peach Salads with Chicken for the rest of my days. The peach slices were divine The greens were a perfect mix. The chicken moist and flavorful. And the gorgonzola, pecans and homemade Peach Vinaigrette dressing were a stroke or pure genius. Everyone else in my party had some version of a BLT. One added avocado and havarti. All were equally pleased. On the way out we purchased some of their wonderful homemade pickled relish and decided to try a Cheerio Treat, which is their version of the Rice Krispies treat. They are to die for. It was great to stumble upon a place where all of the staff cared enough to do their best. read more

Surprise!! This little gem was beyond good for a ladies lunch. Mediterranean wrap and spinach salad were excellent. Try the homemade sweet pickle mix. Small mom and pop place with attention to fresh and detail.. Plus service with a smile. I'll be back for sure. read more

We stopped here for lunch on our way to Fredericksburg. They had a great selection of sandwiches and friendly, efficient staff. Can't beat homemade bread! The inside dining was a bit loud because there were several groups of children, so we sat outside and thoroughly enjoyed our meal! read more

A wonderful little place frequented mostly by folks going to the local science museum. We each had very tasty salads. Our only hiccup was the drenching of dressing in the salad. This would have been easily remedied if we'd have asked for dressing on the side. read more

Delicious spinach and blueberry salad. And the ham on flatbread was Devine. Organic and fresh. Brownies were fresh and yummy. read more
