I was on my way out of Austin when I had just the right amount of time to indulge on a breakfast. Boy was my belly happy to leave Texas with this as my last meal. I ordered the fried chicken with the biscuit and the biscuit was so perfectly done. The chicken crispy (and felt like more skin than meat but as a whole it was still good) and although it didn't come with it, I dipped mine in the hot sauce that the empeñada came with and it was delicious. The empeñada was yummy and the deep fried hash brown muffin concoction is pretty epic. Our server was 10/10 loved her energy and recommendations. She was all the things we need in the service industry and grateful we had her! All in all, if I'm back in Austin, I'd definitely make a pit stop here again!

I got the granola, which was sour, so I asked for syrup and poured that on to make it better. I also got 2 poached eggs, and they were tiny like quail eggs. They didn't have any coffee cake left, so no comment on that even though I wanted it and couldn't have anything else bc I'm gluten free. We got seated on the roof which was nice. But def wear a sweater bc it's windy even in April.

This place is packed so make sure you get reservations! With that being said, the place felt very intimate and nice. Service was great, very attentive and patient We started off with the Lavender Cold Brew and the Latte. Best Latte I've had (I work as a manager at Starbucks). The cheddar hashbrowns were so crispy, cheesy, and came with a wonderful sriracha sauce. I ordered the sweet potato and pulled pork hash. It was good, however the ratio of potato to meat to egg to avocado was not equally distributed. I had like one tiny poached egg, not enough pork, and way too much sweet potato. We also ordered the ricotta toast which was great and had a ton of unique flavor combinations. Overall I would come back to explore more of the menu

Over priced, $5 for a plain green tea and it took a long time to fill a cup with hot water and place a tea bag.

This was one of my favorite places to have breakfast. I especially enjoyed the migas, pancakes, classic breakfast, the chorizo empanadas (OMG the empanadas!) but sadly there is no photo because we devoured it. The lavender latte was really good and it wasn't too sweet.

Everything is delicious at Paperboy. I typically order the classic breakfast plate with the cheddar hash brown, but switched it up today with the lox plate. It's a unique Mediterranean take on it.

service was great. food is a little expensive but the portions are pretty big and taste wise the food was just amazing, you get what you pay for

Excellent brunch and cafe drinks like matcha and horchata. Inside and outside seating. Great service as well. Unfortunately we were only able to go here one day, because the other days had too long of a wait over 1 hour!

My family and i love this restaurant Food is chef's kiss Service is always outstanding. The location is perfect and has a lot of parking around the area. Highly recommend the cucumber lemonade. I order the steak and eggs. Everything was fresh and delicious. Will be coming back.

Holy cow I can’t believe it took me so long to come here but I will be back every week (if I could)! We had a really late lunch and the place was BUSYYYYY but were seated in less than 10 minutes. The place seems small at A glance but has bar seating and outside patio seating. My friend got the cold brew martini and I got the cucumber mint limeade ! Highly recommend! For food we got the lox plate and Texas hash! Everything tasted fresh, hot, flavorful ! And thennnnnn they give you a little rice Krispy treat with your check! They have a gluten free muffin I’m going to come back for !
Amazing experience at Paperboy! The menu is very unique but still offers your traditional American breakfast. I got the Texas Hash and it was delicious and very well seasoned.

Paperboy is a gem in Austin's breakfast scene. It's a cozy spot where the food speaks for itself—creative yet comforting dishes that start your day right. The vibe is friendly and laid-back, making every visit feel like a morning well spent. Definitely a favorite.
Nut allergy friendly - several dishes do have nuts but the staff are very careful.An extremely popular local brunch place, we reserved for six a month ahead of time and were able to luckily get indoor seating at 2:30.The current rotating beer menu is a Pilsner and Hazy IPA from Meanwhile Brewing Co.We ordered:Chicken and Biscuit (4.5/5): We ordered three servings of this. Two came with two pieces of chicken, and one piece came with three. We commented on this and got three pieces, which I'd consider worth it for the price. The chicken was well flavored and the dish worked together as a whole. Not sure if I'd prefer it over a classic chicken and waffles, but it was a unique twist.Lox . Order this if you're on a diet. Four pieces of bread with hummus/feta, some vegetables, and barely any lox. It's tasty and very healthy, but I was expecting much more lox for the price.Steak and Eggs: 1.5/5. Flank steak that is so tough that it got lodged in our friend's throat, it really shouldn't be the price that it is.Classic The only thing besides the chicken and biscuit I'd recommend for a real meal. Everything is decent here.Cheddar Hash . Big, not bad, but pricey for what it is. Ours was a bit soggy like it was unevenly baked.The saving grace is that service is incredible here. We got a lavender latte at the table instead of a matcha one by accident and got to keep it (+1 for anti-waste). The manager was incredibly kind in coming to resolve a bug on the inKind app (turns out having a large party does some weird things with the mandatory gratuity).There are two gender neutral bathrooms that actually had a substantial wait when we were there (like, six people in line).Overall, it's a nice trendy brunch spot that I'd recommend for certain dishes. They were sold out of pastries when we went, but I heard those are good!
