    Couldn't have been a better experience, and the migas with pork carnitas was delicious, recommend having it with no tortillas!

    This was my second time, and the food is delicious. So far. Have tried the chicken biscuit, lox, ricotta toast, Texas hash, and bec sandwich. Everything was amazing. The lox was one of my favorite lox dishes I’ve had, and I love lox. The bec and chicken biscuit were also amazing. I love how the biscuit are caramelized and crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. It’s honestly my ideal biscuit texture. I have made a reservation both times and was seated right away. I was on the roof deck both times. It was cold one day, but they had heaters and provided blankets, so I was comfortable. The bathrooms are super cute too. The one negative is that I feel like the servers on the roof weren’t very attentive, especially with my coffee. I ordered drip coffee and had to flag someone down and ask for refills when it was gone. I would have preferred that they keep an eye on that, especially on the cold day. They were also sold out of the pistachio chai roll both times, but I get that happens. I’ll just have to get there early one morning to get that. Overall, GREAT experience!

    Excellent food/service/experience. Every time. We arrived 30 min early from our rez time & with an extra person - they sat us right away, no problem. Really impressed by this place. Hype-worthy.

    We visited Paperboy for brunch, and unfortunately, our experience started off on the wrong foot. When we arrived, the hostess immediately seemed put off when she saw we had a stroller with us. Despite noting in our reservation that we would need space for a stroller, she mentioned it should be counted as an extra person and seemed visibly annoyed. This kind of interaction set a negative tone for the rest of our visit and made what should have been a relaxing brunch feel uncomfortable. While the rest of the meal was fine, the initial experience really impacted our overall enjoyment. I hope the staff can be more understanding and accommodating, especially when guests make specific requests in advance.

    My favorite breakfast spot in Austin. The pop tarts are amazing and the cheddar hash brown is a must try!

    Great place! Good breakfast and great service! Everytime some one comes and visits Austin that’s were I take them… make sure you have a reservation though because if you have to wait , it will be outside and it can get HOT and crowded.
