I dined at The Scarbrough for brunch during my stay in Austin. It was just a short, pleasant walk from 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! read more

The food is delicious, and the setting is unique, but the service is a bit slow. 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. read more

Nice choice for a quick little breakfast. It's located inside the art deco lobby of an office building so try to avoid sitting in the center tables or you'll have workers rushing around you to reach the elevators. Loved the light and flaky croissant on my tasty ham and cheese sandwich and the Basil Caesar wrap was also deemed really good. Service was great. read more

Elegant eats with extensive crepe options and special brunch items. I really wanted to order the shakshuka but they were out when we're there around 12pm. got the egg benedict with brisket instead and wow, what a special dish! The portion is managable and the side potatoes that come with it was *chefs kiss*. The beer cheddar benedict sauce was unique and very tasty. Bf got the steak and egg crepe and like it. Cappuccino looks super smooth and my orange juice was freshly squeezed, which is super rare these days. The only reason why I'm docking a star is there were some flies and space feels like it could be cleaner, the seats look quite old and used even though nothing was malfunctioning. read more

Absolutely adorable little cafe. It's on the first floor of the Scarborough building which did cause me some difficulty in finding it (entirely my fault there was a sign that said Scarborough Cafe). Ordered the Berry Brûlée and it was packed full of blueberries and strawberries. The fruits felt really fresh and they were nicely balanced by the sweeter raspberry jam. There was a QR code on the table to place orders which were they sent to the back. It took a while for the crepe to be brought out even though there weren't much customers in the cafe but the wait was worth the very fresh and refreshing crepe! Adorable adorable cafe and would love to come here and try out some more of their menu items!! read more

We were downtown on a random Saturday morning and thought why not get brunch and we were nearish to this spot. It's small and unassuming but decorated very smartly for the space. Service was friendly and fast - order at the counter, sit and be served. We ordered an americano and a latte - both arrived hot and were very large. We split the focaccia avocado toast. The construction left a lot to be desired - halved cherry tomatoes and slices of avocado meant that these items just fell out of the sandwich when trying to eat them. Smashing the avo and having slices of tomatoes would fix that issue. Overall though, the sammy was delicious. Whatever spread they had on it was salty and yummy and the egg was cooked perfectly with a good yolk spill. The two hot drinks and sandwich came to $30 which is on point for a downtown spot. The coffees were really large so that felt like a value for price point. Overall, a cute spot with a nice vibe and good bites. read more

Small little shop in what looks like a small lobby. We stopped by Sunday at 11am and they were out of 5 items (small menu to begin with)-- We were a little bummed because it was all the steak and brisket items. But no worries, we just got coffee and a Croissant Perdu. Service was great, it was perfect for a quick and easy morning drink and snack, but wish they had more options. read more

The Scarbrough is a beautiful spot for breakfast or lunch. It is located in the lobby of the Scarbrough building, which used to be home to the flagship Scarbrough & Sons department store and is still decorated in the Art Deco Style. Not only is it a scenic spot to spend a couple of hours, the food is surprisingly tasty. Most of the menu consists of different types of crepes, so we ordered the Goatshroom crepe and a Croque Madame. The Croque Madame was deliciously cheesy and was covered in the perfect amount of béchamel cheese. The goatshroom crepe also had good flavor, although the king trumpet mushrooms had a very rubbery texture and were slightly difficult to chew. You order using a QR code at your table, and you can sit anywhere that is not reserved. I would definitely return to the Scarbrough the next time I am craving a crepe, however I recommend reserving a table in advance if you plan to visit on the weekend, as the restaurant is not very large and fills up quickly. read more

The Scarbrough - Mega Omega crepe and Avocado Toast - Creperies Near Me - Austin, Texas

Decided to start off the weekend here with some brunch. If you've never been here, The Scarbrough is located in the lobby on 6th Street, with the entrance between Velvet Taco and Ruth's Chris Steak House. You open the door, and you're already inside. Those who live/work here might come down through the elevators. Bar seating is to the left; lounge seating elsewhere. If it's your first time here, the staff will let you know that this place is counter serve: you can either order at the counter, or scan a QR code at the table and order online. They will also hand you some physical menus to look at. We ordered the following items to try: a Croissandwich, a Brunchilada, a BLTC crepe (under savory), an unsweetened black iced tea, and a cafe au lait. Let's start with the forgetables: - The Croissandwich came with a side of roasted, seasoned potatoes, which were enjoyable. The Croissandwich itself had some type of circular flaky pastry used as the outside layers. Based on the menu name, the intention seems to have been to use a legit croissant texture. But those outer layers were not particularly flaky, nor did it have appreciable layers of buttery flavor, nor did it make a crisp, crackling, crunch sound when biting into it. Rather, it was kind of soft, as if it had absorbed some moisture. So the croissant portion was pretty lame. The inside was a bit more interesting. There were two eggs, sunny side up. There was also a generous amount of ham, plus some cheese. So the filling to bread ratio was solid. If the outer croissants had been more satisfying, and if there were something slightly acidic, like a tomato, included, I'm sure this Croissandwich would have been more memorable. - The Brunchilada seems like it was a burrito drizzled with salsa verde, rather than brunch enchiladas. I found the priorities of this item were a bit off. Taste wise, the main event was the salsa verde, but it was mostly spicy, without a particularly compelling salsa flavor (lacking the sweetness and sourness you'd expect from stewed or roasted tomatillos). For the non-salsa portion, the main character was scrambled egg (but quantity), with avocado, the pork belly carnitas, cheese, and refried beans as supporting cast members. So lots of egg, and basically uninteresting flavor combinations. (Yes it was bland and boring. Only the salsa verde was somewhat interesting, but only on the spice side). - Cafe au Lait. Well, it tasted like bitter coffee mixed with milk. I guess there was an attempt at some foam art on top, maybe. But perhaps I was expecting them make the preparation with coffee that has a flavor profile other than bitter. But then again, what do I know? I tend to drink tea, not coffee. Onto the bit more memorable: - Unsweetened Black Iced Tea: it came with a blackened roasted lime slice on top. Nice. And, it was peachy. Smooth, pleasant to inhale, thirst quenching. I'd order another. - Savory Crepe BLTC: This was pretty awesome. The crepe itself had a great texture, and held together very well. The local flies even loved it! One had the audacity to dive straight onto the crepe and start sucking through its straw. It soon died tableside, after I waved it away, and it sought to quench its thirst with condensed water left on the table. It became careless, and stopped paying attention to its surroundings, and died, crushed under a napkin. Poor thing. Anyways, the filling of the crepe was spot on. The tomato-thyme jam that was included within really pulled everything together; it was also the lightest of the three food items. Conclusion: 1. You could make a reservation on their website if you wanted to. Maybe if it gets busier, that functionality might be more useful. 2. Cafe in a lobby space. Yes, the elevators work. Yes, the unisex bathroom is down the hall through the stairwell. 3. I would suspect their crepes are on point. I'm less certain about their other dishes. Seems like their egg-based dishes lack flavor. Perhaps their fruit-based dishes have more zing to them. Also, their pork belly itself is quite good. 4. For the price, portions are filling. If the flavor was there, it'd be an even better value. 5. I didn't try the QR codes at the table. But they do bring out your order to where you've elected to sit. read more

I was in Austin for ACL and we wanted a quick breakfast close to our hotel. We stopped here 2 mornings in a row because it was so good. The salty dulce de leche latte is so delicious. I got the avocado toast both days because it was so good. If I ever end up back in Austin I will definitely be going again. We loved sitting outside and eating in downtown, but there were seats inside as well. The workers were so nice and recognized us the next morning and remembered our order. read more

Hidden gem. Totally non-descript exterior, in the lobby of what appears to be a low key art deco office building. The Omega crepe is delicious and fresh. The affogato is delicious. And everyone there is super nice. I give it 5 stars relative to other lunch joints in the area. I do not recommend ordering their crepes to go. They lose the crispness from the moisture in the to-go packaging. read more

The food was good. I had a croissant egg/bacon sandwich and an Americano coffee. Quality was really good and they managed to make the croissant into a sandwich type of bread. It was more crispy than soft pillowy of a breakfast sandwich because of the way the croissant was made. This is a cute cafe in downtown Austin in a lobby area of a building. The service was good even though you had to order at th counter and they brought the food to you. Coffee was good. We went here because it was walkable from our hotel. They also had savory and sweet crepes. I would return again when I'm in the area. read more

how this place has 4.5 stars is beyond me. The food was awful on every level. my chicken pesto sandwich was both hot and cold at the same time and my partners wrap was too salty to eat. The food took almost 40 minutes to come out, not a word on the wait. 7-8 staff and maybe 20 customers. What's the hold up? and asking for a 18-22% tip before any food or service has been received just makes me feel like my food will be held at ransom unless I add on 20% Let us tip after so we can base it off the food and service received, as tips are intended. Would've been zero today, not even an acknowledgment of the slow service and the food was bad bad. read more

You can't go wrong with a good crepe! And Ze Crepe certainly delivers. I just came back from their soft opening where we could choose from three crepes to sample for free. I've never had a savory crepe (I had my heart set on strawberry nutella, my favorite from Paris, but alas) but I was pleasantly surprised with how tasty the Mushroom Goat Cheese crepe was! Other free options included the turkey and cheese, or BLT. The crepes are perfectly cooked--slight crisp with a soft center. Filled to the brim with fillings. Taking a look at what will be their full menu, there will be lots of unique options to choose from! Only removing one star as they get their process down--the line was small but what is a typically quick street food took 20 minutes to get. I bet they'll easily win back that last star once they get fully up and running. So happy to have another unique, interesting option for lunch downtown! I will definitely be back for a quick sweet snack or hearty lunch. read more

Delicious crepes and friendly service at a reasonable price! Since I've started working downtown again, I've eaten here three times now and have enjoyed it every time.

I have definitely added this to my top 5 favorite spots in ATX. You could walk right by without noticing this place, so if you're reading this, mark it on your map and make sure you stop by! The crepe brûlée was fantastic with fresh strawberries and the perfect crunch to it! Chef Marco is very personable and takes a lot of care into finding the best, most flavorful components to the crepes as well as making his drink selection top notch. My friend said he was surprised by how great the coffee is here. I'm more of a tea person and Chef Marco took the time to let me try a few if the new tea items they just brought on. I'm really excited about the "Golden Chai" which is a chai latte with turmeric and ginger. Their regular chai is great too with strong clove notes. I love Jasmine tea, and I was impressed by their steeped teas too. Wifi available making it a great place for remote work. It's quiet inside and the gold and marble hotel lobby ambiance would make a great place for a morning meeting over coffee or tea. read more

I'm going to get the few negatives out of the way first. There is not much interaction with the staff and the place was pretty dirty. The table and the floors hadn't been cleaned. One of our drinks was wrong and they didn't understand what we wanted when we asked for ketchup. That part was weird. All that being said, they made up for the drink and the ketchup thing pretty quickly, our table was wiped down, and even though we ordered on their app there were several positives. It's in a cool old art deco building, which happens to be my favorite kind of old building. The actual fare we were served was impressive to say the least. The chia latte was amazing. If they'd swept that night before and had a server ask if we needed anything this would have been a 5 star - but if you are in Austin, have brunch here. The food was worth it. read more
