Quaint little lunch/breakfast spot in round rock near AW Grimes and the toll…read more Cordial greeting upon arrival and overall pleasant experience being ushered to my seat Menu was filled with a nice assortment of sandwiches and breakfast offerings. I chose the chipotle turkey melt, and was generally disappointed. Although the sandwich had some great flavor... Stating you're a chipotle melt, I was expecting a little heat or at least being able to taste the chipotle flavoring... Add to my disappointment neither was present. The french fries were tasty, but could've used a little more Cook time like mine a little crispy than what was delivered It had a nice home-cooked feel to it... Like your significant other made you a nice sandwich for lunch The server provided decent service... However, I had to flag her down several times to get a refill on my water glass. Additionally, no one ever checked on how I like the sandwich or if I needed anything else... She gave me my ticket and told me I needed to pay at the cash register... So when I arrived at the cash register, she was waiting for me and was in a hurry to make sure I left the restaurant ASAP. No thank you ...no have a nice day. - As I'm reflecting on my visit... Food was OK... A little bit on the pricey side... But the Service was borderline rude .... I'm in no hurry to come back.

I rarely make it to Round Rock, but after my first visit to Waffle Love, I'll definitely be back…read more A friend brought me here for breakfast, and we decided to share a waffle flight so we could try a variety of items. We ordered the grilled cheese with tomato soup, chicken and waffles, and the strawberry and cream waffle with Biscoff spread. Before I get to the food, I want to recognize the excellent customer service. Since it was my first visit, I had quite a few questions. The employee helping us was patient, friendly, and knowledgeable. She walked us through all of the flight options, and let us know that everything was made fresh to order, so there would be a short wait. I appreciated the transparency, and when our food arrived I soon found out it was worth the wait. The standout for me was the grilled cheese waffle with tomato soup. The soup tasted homemade, with bright tomato flavor and generous chunks of tomato throughout. It was fresh, and absolutely delicious. The grilled cheese featured a flavorful muenster and provolone instead of the standard cheddar you find everywhere else, and the waffle itself was crispy on the outside with a perfect gooey cheese pull. My friend enjoyed the strawberry and cream waffle with Biscoff spread since I'm not a huge fan of Biscoff. I did try the strawberries and cream, though, and both were excellent. The strawberries were fresh, sweet, and firm, while the cream tasted rich and homemade. The chicken and waffles were outstanding. The chicken was crispy, juicy, and well seasoned, and the waffle had a wonderful texture: light and airy inside with a crisp exterior. It was served with syrup and a remoulade-style sauce. The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully decorated with fun murals, word art and nods to Round Rock. For a first visit, Waffle Love made a fantastic impression. The next time I'm in Round Rock, I'll be ordering another waffle flight, probably the same 3 selections, just without the Biscoff spread.

I finally had a chance to go by morning ritual and it was so good. I only stopped in for a mid day…read morepick me up, but the views and ambiance were very nice. I would definitely return to see what else there is to offer. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Talked me through the menu options, and who can say no to a seasonal drink?! I absolutely cannot. I tried the sugar cookie latte with oat milk. The additional sugar cookie goat was a nice add on and tasted great as well. The other drink I ordered was a strawberry matcha. It was good, but if you're new to matcha - it still has the earthy finish. The pricing as reasonable as well.

I don't think I've ever expected to go to a coffee shop at an apartment complex. I was told there…read morewere cool vibes there. With some remote work to do, I drove through Pflugerville into this apartment complex parking lot to try their coffee chain. In my discovery (Google), every LC apartment complex has a "The Goat" and a "Morning Ritual" in their front office. If this is their standard for amenities, what a luxurious apartment complex. I wanted my classic lavender oat milk latte. Their spring menu had a Lavender Honey Latte, which I ordered. Feeding my slight hunger, I also got their three buttermilk biscuits with strawberry preserves to pair with it. However, since I was not dining in at The Goat, I was banished to either sitting outside the restaurant or heading upstairs. It was partially humid, and I wanted to lock in on some work, so I opted for the upstairs. I was the only person up there. The downstairs had some steady traffic, but I was completely alone upstairs, which also had a micro-arcade and a bowling alley. What apartment complex am I even at? Service was pretty good as they seemed on top of it. The food was good, but it was three biscuits and strawberry jam. If they had somehow in some way messed that up, we'd be having problems. The coffee was pretty standard. I wasn't blown away by it, but it was clearly good and well made. I don't know Morning Ritual's true purpose as an outsider compared to a restaurant like The Goat, but I bet I'd be a lot happier with my apartment complex if they had a full coffee bar at the front office.

The star of the show was the sweet man who took my order over the phone. sometimes when you call instead of placing the order on line, the person on the other end doesn't seem very happy but this gentleman was so kind, it was refreshing!! Even though I mispronounced pretty much every dish name, he was sweet and knew exactly what I was talking about. It really is lovely to interact with people like that.

I have heard high praise from locals, and at the end of the day, nothing beats a city's local diner. It is one of those places that closes by 3 pm every day and feels perfect for brunch after a Sunday church service. I came in a little after 11 am with the man who is basically the face of Hutto at his request. He has lived in Hutto for years and has countless stories of the city to share. We sat as he shared stories with my co worker and me about the history of the city. He is a wonderful man, and if he thinks Hippo Cafe is a must visit, DAMMIT, it is a must visit. The place feels ripped straight out of the 80s with artwork of musicians including Elvis and Willie Nelson, along with Alf, ET, and Gizmo. It is definitely dated, but in the best way. Looking at the menu, they have everything you would expect a diner to have. Everything is decently priced and affordable. I ordered two breakfast tacos and a tea. One was bacon, egg, and cheese. The other was chorizo, egg, and cheese. They were not winning any awards, but my god they were like an omelet on a tortilla. They were filled with eggs. With a little picante sauce, they were great and felt like a classic diner meal. The service is great. Our lady was attentive and very friendly to us. That seems to be the vibe here. There's a lot of 1 stars here, but trust the guy with the Yelp Elite badge and the essay of a review, it's not a 1 star establishment. It's more. This place feels historic and gets plenty of love from regulars in the city. You know what you are getting into when you visit, but what does that really mean? You are getting old town love. A classic meal. A feeling like you have been standing your whole life and you just sat down. That is Hippo Cafe. RIYL: Your classic cafe or painting of 80s icons (Alf)

My husband ordered the Farmhouse, which was okay but felt a bit heavy on the potatoes. I tried the seasonal Chimichurri Steak & Eggs Hash, and that was definitely the highlight of our meal. It had great flavor and was something we both really enjoyed. We also ordered the Million Dollar Bacon, which was honestly disappointing. The bacon was sliced fairly thin and wasn't as crispy as we expected. We think it would benefit from either a thicker cut or a crispier preparation. The biggest letdown for us was the waffle. It arrived soggy, overly salty, and lacked the crisp exterior we were hoping for. Overall, there were a few things we enjoyed, especially the hash, but enough misses that this probably won't become our go-to breakfast spot.

People bring some leftovers into work, and they vanish into thin air. I can't help but grab a few when I come by. They always have the display cases stocked with some of the most delightful and incredible pastries, from, of course, their scones, but also sometimes homemade pop tarts, apple fritters, donuts, and more. I've had some of their croissants for lunch as well, and I think they are absolutely killer. I have one of their lunch boxes before at a work event, and I was impressed! Their coffee is pretty simple, but still great in a pinch. They offer plenty of flavors and syrups and always have some specials rolling around to try. I come here every once in a while for a morning or mid-day pick-me-up, and those cinnamon or chocolate chip scones are to die for. RIYL: The best pastries in Hippoville.

We enjoyed our spot for nearly 3 hours, and never felt rushed. We noticed that many people showed up for lunch... a family on bicycles, another family with 3 dogs, etc...
