épicerie

Restaurant was nice. The styling on patio looked Southwest Texas, with some classic country French thrown in. Take a look at the pictures.

Lots of pastries and wine available, but we were good, and abstained at that time hahaha.

I had a piece of hair under my napkin on a side plate, and on the table. It was not in my food so no problem.

Loved the bathrooms! Well done.

This place feels like a friend's house. The atmosphere and decor is very inviting. One of the better and most unique brunch places in Austin. They have a small but satisfying menu and a small bakery to complement. The food came out quick and the wait wasn't too long.

They’re famous for their NOLA style beignets but everything is delicious here! Chicken schnitzel, burger, quiche are all fab. Their cocktails are also great. Can’t go wrong with their espresso martini. The atmosphere and service are top notch.

Took a late lunch here was pleased with the food, service, and atmosphere. I’ve been wanting to try this place for some time as the menu is Louisiana inspired.

The quiche for that day was really good. I liked how high it was thickness wise and it had a nice crust. It had roasted potatoes on top and Gruyere cheese inside.

I didn’t want an entire Poboy, so I was able to get the fried shrimp that goes in it as a site audit with my quiche and salad.

The salad dressing was a nice white wine balsamic.

The breading on the fried shrimp was very nice and flavorful the best fried shrimp I’ve had for more than a minute.

Atmosphere was good had to give it only four stars as I prefer the another customers dog had not been let in there.

Full disclosure, it was a smaller animal and it didn’t do very much. I preferred it had not been in there at all as food was being served. At least it wasn’t a big one. The customer’s car does have a dog mode, so I’m not sure why they had to bring it inside or even take it out of the house as it was a very hot day.

All that aside, it was a good meal a nice place.

I did take away some pastry and some coffee to take home and finish there. The almond croissant was excellent as was the chocolate chip cookie. I also got the cinnamon poundcake bar.

I did ask if they do anything or plan to do anything with mirliton squash. They did tell me they do plan to do something with them once they are in season. I’ll definitely be checking back in around October.

Great brunch or lunch spot buried out of the way off Hancock.

Ask for Lola - she is a wonderful and attentive server. She found out anything she did not know: she even brought a bag of the coffee to show us when we had questions about our cappuccinos.

The ricotta is house made and phenomenal. The eggs with squash is a beautiful “brunch” salad. I absolutely will be back.

Very dietary friendly.
