This place takes you back in time, with its charming interior, high ceilings and just the vibe. It's perfect for an early weekend brunch.
We ordered the hippie hollow omelet, Texas migas, and the Texas waffles along with drip coffee and white chocolate mocha. The food was cooked to perfection and p
It never occurred to me during my 20+ years of living in Austin to enjoy a meal at the Driskill’s 1886 Cafe & Bakery.
This weekend, while hunting for a good Sunday breakfast at any downtown restaurant, I made a stop at two other establishments that had a waitlist that was longer than I was willing
1886 Cafe & Bakery is a wonderful place to enjoy a cup of coffee and indulge in a delicious brunch dish. I absolutely adored the charming Victorian tearoom setting. The Paris Texas Benedict was superb, with a crispy croissant and an overall delicious combination of flavors. The Quiche Lorraine was e

Ignore the construction from 6th Street entrance - this is a fancy nice counter service restaurant with a pricey but substantial brunch offering! I went with a group and we had no issu
I had the eggs Benedict and the sauce was not my favorite it had an after taste that this dish does not usually have. Orange juice is not freshly squeezed and coffee is fine.
I love this place! I stay at another hotel for work but walk here every morning to get breakfast. Everything I've ever ordered has been delicious, but my favorites include the chicken and waffles, the quiche Lorraine, and the Lady Bird Omelette.

The food was amazing. You will not be disappointed with anything on their menu. That included the espresso and the spoon to stir it with. Not to mention, the latte was very well made with the best microfoam I've seen in a while. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit at 1886 and will be returning when I visi
I’m in Austin for a friend’s wedding and am staying at the Firehouse Hostel across the street. I came here to grab a fresh cup of coffee and a meal for lunch. 1886 is a cafe in the lobby of the elegant Driskell hotel, which matches the feel of the cafe ambiance. In fact, the seating area of the cafe
The food tasted really good, the portions where decent-sized, and the drinks were great. The croissant was nice and flaky, and the oatmeal cookie was soft and chewy. The food came out quickly, and the staff was nice and friendly. Great spot for brunching in downtown Austin.
What a beautiful place to enjoy a meal. Filled with history, this quaint Bistro offers high end food, great service and a lovely atmosphere. I had the avocado toast, which was delicious! It's. Must see in downtown Austin!
Such a photogenic, elegant place to get an amazingly presented and flavorful brunch. We were impressed.

Friendly and timely. This is the type of restaurant where you order and pay at the register. The line can be long from time-to-time, but they have their system d
Came here with friends and got breakfast. We got the Texas waffle, chorizo, and the croque madame. The food was very good and tasty if a bit pricey. It was interesting because you have to order first, then find a table and then the food will be brought out to you. It’s a very atmospheric and decorat
Holy smokes! The cinnamon bun is next level delicious and huge so plan on sharing this! Our egg sandwich was also a delight. Cannot go wrong with this place :)
The service and staff were extremely helpful and kind. The food was pretty good. The cinnamon roll is massive but light as it is made with a croissant like dough. There is a lot of vanilla bean icing which no one found overpowering but there was a noticeable lack of cinnamon for an item with that
Fantastic place for breakfast. The menu is extensive. We loved what we tried. Portions are more than generous.
There are plenty of seating indoor, outdoor and inside the hotel lobby, but you have to place your order at the counter which call for a slow process and long line. Still think it’s worth i
Overall it was a good experience for a fine dining brunch that can be great for an occasion. The hotel is so beautiful with all the vintage/victorian interiors. We were really excited to try this place looking at all the hyped up reviews and photos. But, I’d be honest and say that the food to me was
Such a cute spot, food was great, atmosphere so cute and they decorate for the holidays.
A great place for brunch!
This cafe and bakery has a wide variety of delicious brunch options, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere. I highly recommend it!
Seriously the best French toast I’ve ever had!! We’ve been here twice after the first time we couldn’t stop thinking about the food… 1886 is the best highly recommend
