    We had a wonderful experience at Josephine’s House. A lovely young man, Don, was very attentive to our table, providing water and pastries. Our waitress was great as well, always making sure our water glasses and coffee cups were full. A sweet way to spend a dreary Sunday morning!

    Very cute place for brunch. Had a reservation but seated in the very back outside area right next to 2 people with a baby when several other tables were available in a more open a cuter area. . Felt like we were in a closet with no view of anything except walls and the patrons who were a foot away. Food was very good but disappointed with our table location. This place was recommended and it was our first visit to Austin.
